After a small episode on Zhuangyuan Street, Xu Buling returned to the carriage. Mrs. Lu was worried that the poison would not make Xu Buling move, so she naturally looked unhappy on her face and talked for a long time, such as "the prince of a vassal should be behind the scenes."

However, after Xu Buling had been in contact for a long time, it was obvious that Mrs. Lu was not angry at all, and she was even a little proud. Dayue was a martial man and good at fighting, and he was always respected and favored, even if Mrs. Lu was born in a scholarly family.

After the carriage arrived at Xianzhizhai on Zhuangyuan Street, Xu Buling accompanied Mrs. Lu for half an hour. Ninety percent of the people who could come to Xianzhizhai were ladies and ladies, and there were also many princesses and princesses, and they were watched a lot.

Xu Buling felt the most headache of being a vase. He could only look cold and say nothing. He followed Mrs. Lu to take a look. After buying two boxes of "Red Orchid Secret" when he was unprepared, he went home.

Mrs. Lu has been widowed for many years, and after going out for a walk, she felt much better. She didn't stick to Xu Buling's entry into the palace. She just told her, "Just eat and don't talk too much, don't take things, don't write poetry..." After that, she let Xu Buling go.

Xu Buling came out of Mrs. Lu's room and felt that his legs were all weak. When he thought of the tough battle at night, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

But men have to resist everything alone.

Xu Buling was embarrassed to complain, so he took a small gift box and got on the carriage where the empress dowager picked up the people, and went around to Changle Palace.

The winter is short, and night falls quietly after dusk.

The Chinese New Year will be celebrated in a few days. Although there are not many people living in Changle Palace, they are decorated with meticulousness. The red palace lanterns are hung all over the eaves and corners, and at night it looks like a sea of ​​lanterns.

Xu Buling came to the neighbor of the Queen Mother's bedroom and looked up. The scenery was very different from a few days ago. I don't know where the Queen Mother got a bunch of potted plants, which were hundreds of them in the original garden. In the cold winter, it looked a little desolate.

Although Xu Buling couldn't see what varieties were planted in the potted plant, after a little recollection, he could guess that the Queen Mother was inspired by that poem and planted a garden full of daisies in the garden, waiting for the scene of "Sky Fragrance Array to Chang'an" on September 8 next year.

It's only the twelfth lunar month now, and it's obviously a little too early.

Xu Buling shook his head secretly, feeling that the Queen Mother was a little childish. He walked through the corridor and before he could reach the main hall, he saw the Queen Mother greeting him.

The Empress Dowager wore a gorgeous red palace skirt, with golden silk on the hem of the skirt outlined complex patterns. She trembled slightly while walking, graceful and grand, but also had a ripe charm from time to time. The collar belt just tied the willow waist just right, outlining the gourd-like figure almost flawless.

"Xiao Buling, come here quickly."

The queen mother smiled and raised her fingers and hooked them.

Xu Buling gave a polite gift to his juniors and followed the empress dowager with a box:

"Where did the Queen Mother bring so many flower pots?"

The queen mother nodded with a gentle smile and looked at the courtyard she had just packed up with satisfaction: "The emperor's harem was hidden in the deep palace and no one appreciated it. It was a pity that she moved here. When the chrysanthemums in this palace are in full bloom, Xiao Buling will come over and have some fun."

Xu Buling chuckled: "That's natural, the Queen Mother's chrysanthemum... Well, I think it looks very good..."

During the chat, the Queen Mother had obviously been waiting for a long time. The small table was ready, with a warm drink next to it and a candlestick placed around it, which made the magnificent Nuodazheng Hall more warm.

The Empress Dowager sat down in the main seat, put her legs under the table as usual, stepped on the stove, clapped her hands, and the palace maid walked up with all kinds of delicacies.

Xu Buling was familiar with the road, so he sat next to him and put his feet in, and then he pushed the cups and changed his mouth.

Because this trip was purposeful, Xu Buling was very easy-going and talkative at the dinner table. From the achievements of the Xiao family throughout the ages, to Xiao Qun's resume, even Xiao Ting racked his brains to think about some benefits and praised him a few words, saying whatever the empress dowager likes to hear.

Xu Buling is naturally cold on the outside, and his words are full of princely demeanor, and he cannot hear any flattery, so he slowly told the truth. Of course, except for Xiao Ting's affairs, the others are indeed the truth.

The Empress Dowager was naturally happy. She stopped interrupting when she heard it. Her eyebrows and eyes were curling, supporting her cheeks with her hands, and staring at Xu Buling flatteringly.

Xu Buling said that when he raised his glass and drank it all, the empress dowager filled it with her. Because Xu Buling relied on strong wine to suppress the poison, there was no need to say "drink less". Halfway through the meal, the prepared wine was finished. The palace maid quickly brought two more jars of palace imperial wine...

----

The night is getting darker.

Outside the villa of Jinghuayuan, Mrs. Lu folded her hands on her waist and walked back and forth, and sometimes she looked at the towering imperial city in the distance, and she had already come out many times.

Because he went out shopping at noon, Mrs. Lu was very happy, but after he came back, he scrambled the rouge and dough in the house. However, Mrs. Lu's heart was finally on Xu Buling, and she asked the maid to go out and see if Xu Buling returned to the palace.

From the time it was just dark to the beginning of the lights, and from the beginning of the lights to the silence of the city, I saw the time when the palace gate was closed, but Xu Buling had never left the palace.

Mrs. Lu could not sit still anymore, and her messy thoughts surged into her heart, and she became more and more anxious as the sky gradually got late.

"Ling'er, nothing will happen..."

The more Mrs. Lu thought about it, the more something was wrong. She stomped her embroidered shoes and wanted to call the carriage into the palace.

Yuenu knew Mrs. Lu's personality and was a little suspicious. But what could happen if Xu Buling was in the palace? Could he still be eaten by the empress dowager?

"Madam, go back and rest. The prince knows how to behave and there will be no trouble."

"But……"

Mrs. Lu pursed her lips, and some words were hard to say after all. She looked up at the direction of Changle Palace. She hesitated for a long time and had no reason to enter the palace. She had to reluctantly turn around and walk towards the yard...

--------

The red lights outside the window are like the sea, and the palace lanterns in the pavilion are like beans.

The already deserted Chang Nian Palace seemed to have become lively because of the extra man. The palace maid also stood secretly outside the door and window, listening to the cold and magnetic voice.

Time passed little by little, and the night was getting darker. The banquet should have ended.

When the Empress Dowager saw that Xu Buling had not drunk well, she naturally didn't urge her. She just felt that Xu Buling had a lot of alcohol. She was about to praise her, but she didn't expect that when she saw Xu Buling, who looked slightly drunk, she burped: "The Queen Mother's wine is really good, it's time to go home..." Then she swayed to get up, but she fell back on the carpet with a 'shot'.

The queen mother was stunned at first, then slightly frightened, and hurriedly climbed from the carpet to Xu Buling. She looked down at her head and then pressed Xu Buling's wrist and felt it. Her pulse was stable and there was no abnormality, so she felt a little relieved.

The palace maid hurriedly ran in and asked, "Empress Dowager, what's wrong with the little prince?"

"I'm drunk, it's okay. I thought I wouldn't fall down after a thousand cups, but I didn't expect I would drink it and lie down..."

The queen mother sat on the side of the carpet and looked at it for a few times. She felt it was a little funny. Perhaps because she had drunk some wine, she actually raised her hand and pinched Xu Buling's nose.

This action was inappropriate. Qiao'e gently held her skirt and squatted down next to her, and whispered: "Empress Dowager, Prince Xu is very arrogant. If you find out, you will be angry."

"He was drunk and unconscious, and he didn't know."

The Empress Dowager was able to look at Xu Buling openly, but she was not polite at all and looked at Xu Buling's face carefully: "King Su is so pretty, why did he give birth to such a beautiful son? I was jealous of him. If only Xiao Ting looked so beautiful too."

Seeing that his master was so arrogant, Qiao'e naturally stopped persuading her. She followed her and looked closer, lowered her head and glanced a few times: "Princess Su is a rare beauty. It is normal for a man to look like a mother. If the queen mother has..." Qiao'e said this and quickly shut up. After all, the queen mother could not have children.

The empress dowager didn't put her mind on the maid. After watching it for a while, she sighed quietly: "It's a pity that it's not the girl's house, I still like girls."

Qiao'e pursed her lips and raised her hand to touch Xu Buling's face. Unfortunately, she was beaten by the empress dowager immediately and quickly shrank back: "Crown Prince Xu is no worse than a girl. If the empress dowager likes it, why don't she bring a dress..."

Women's Crown Prince?

Princess Xu in a prosperous era?

Xu Buling's hand, which was covered by the hem of the queen mother's skirt, tightened slightly. The queen mother sprayed her cheeks with the smell of wine, obviously very close to her, and she could not make strange expressions.

Fortunately, the empress dowager was not drunk enough, so she frowned and glared at Qiao'e: "Nothing to say... I'll send the prince down to rest."

Qiao'e hesitated a little: "Empress Dowager, the palace gate is about to be closed..."

The Empress Dowager was a little impatient: "This is not the lord's harem. The prince is drunk and can't be thrown outside the imperial city. If outsiders know, they will not poke the backbone of the palace, saying that the palace has not fulfilled its duties as an elder... and sent the prince down and boiled some sobering soup."

"promise."

Qiao'e naturally didn't dare to say much, so she called the palace maids and carried the unconscious Xu Buling to the side hall together.

Several palace maids worked together to lift Xu Buling, opened the door, lifted the bedding, and placed Xu Buling on the bed.

Looking at the handsome and unparalleled little prince, the palace maids breathed a sigh of relief and their blood was boiling.

It's ready tonight.
Chapter completed!
