Imperial City.

The family banquet of Song had just passed away, and the concubines and princesses returned to their bedrooms. Several young princes, accompanied by the nanny, listened to Emperor Dayue's teachings.

The empress dowager was dressed in a good manner and sat in the first place. Although she was too young compared to her position, her dignified demeanor was impeccable and she carefully fulfilled her responsibilities as an elder. Sometimes she coaxed the prince who was still babbling and speaking. When Song Ji talked about the key points, she would nod slightly.

The princes were still young, and the oldest was only four or five years old. They were all born to concubines and beauties. The mother was not born well and was not born in the legitimate family. In the aristocratic family, the son was basically born without status, and it was a luxury to be with his father. However, Song Ji was very serious about the little princes, neither favoring nor neglecting, and seriously fulfilling the duties of a father.

As the saying goes, no one is perfect, but those who are capable can often reduce their flaws to the minimum. Just like Song Ji, whether as an emperor or a father, people cannot find any fault. Even as a husband, they treat their deceased legitimate wife deeply, which makes people feel admirable.

Because of her age, the Queen Mother and Song Ji were called mother and son, but she did not have much daily contact. This moment when she should give up her dominance to the emperor, she naturally would not disturb and interrupt the conversation by relying on her identity, but would just quietly act as a vase next to her.

Waiting patiently for Song Ji to teach the prince, a family dinner was completely over. Although it was the end of the year, Song Ji never gave up the government affairs one day. Except for New Year's Eve, he stayed in the harem for one night, and the rest of the time was still in the imperial study.

The empress dowager had long been used to this and was not easy to persuade her. After watching Song Ji and Eunuch Jia leave, she asked the palace maids to send the little princes back to her mother's bedroom, and she took Qiao'e back to Changle Palace.

The chariot swayed and passed through the red wall corridor between the towering palaces.

The Empress Dowager leaned obliquely on the carved chariot, her eyes turned to the high palace wall next to her. Through the palace wall, she could still vaguely hear the horses running, the pawns shouting, and the movements of dragons and lions dancing outside the wall, which were very far away, as if it was another world.

Qiao'e followed the chariot and saw that the empress dowager had been looking at the palace wall, as if she was worried, she spoke:

"Empress Dowager, if you are bored in the palace, please arrange it and choose a day to go out to the palace to go for a walk?"

The empress dowager looked a little lazy between her eyebrows. She withdrew her gaze from the wall and sighed quietly on her cheeks: "It's a bird in a cage, so what can I do if I go out and let go, I've been used to it."

Qiao'e hesitated for a moment, suddenly approached the queen mother and said softly: "When my maid saw Prince Xu coming, the queen mother was very happy. Should I invite Prince Xu to come and sit?"

The Queen Mother blinked her beautiful eyes, hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and sighed: "It's the New Year, Hongluan can't bear to leave her baby. I'll definitely not come when I go to invite her. Let's talk about it after Lantern Festival..."

"That second young master Xiao?"

"That idiot Xiao Ting is spending time outside during the New Year, and he refuses to even pay New Year's greetings. What he does..."

"oh……"

Seeing this, Qiao'e was not good to say more. She sighed and accompanied the lonely empress dowager to return to Changle Palace...

Just after the New Year, the lights and wine between the city wells in Chang'an were rising, far beyond that of any other place in the world.

The most lively place in Chang'an City is Dayefang, and the most lively place in Dayefang is Zhuangyuan Street. As for the most lively place in Zhuangyuan Street, Longyin Pavilion is during the day, and at night, no one can cover Yingchun Tower.

The so-called "Four Devils of the Capital" is not just a false reputation. There are many places to entertain in Longyin Pavilion, and the word "elegant" is revealed inside and outside. It is called "the son of a daughter who enters the door, and the gentleman is clean when he goes out". He dares not enter without any social status.

Yingchun Tower is a brothel, a good person who has been wandering around the Zhuangyuan Street for many years, also compared the saying "A hero who has been in the door for a hundred battles, and a peach blossom when he goes out". It naturally means that Kong Wu is powerful when he goes in, but he can't stand steadily like a sissy when he goes out.

Of course, these are jokes between the world and the world. It is difficult for brothels to become a gold-selling kiln that is ranked alongside Longyin Pavilion by relying on their flesh-and-skinned business. The main force in the building is still a Qing Gonger with both sexes and skills.

In the afternoon, Xu Buling led his horse to the Yingchun Tower, not far from Longyin Pavilion. There were three-story buildings full of flowers, and the beakers leaned against the window to greet familiar guests. The carriages and horses outside the building were like dragons, and countless young men, who were either rich or noble, entered them. Occasionally, famous talents or knights came, and girls ran out to greet them in person, which attracted envious eyes.

Xu Buling came here to prove that he had come to Yingchun Tower, so he naturally would not be low-key. The "chasing the wind and snow" behind him was already eye-catching enough. When some knowledgeable Jianghu found out, he immediately took his eyes away from the girls and turned to the strong and easy-to-use war horse.

Comparing the wind-chasing horses with adult men with shoulder heights and placed outside the building, the other horses are no different from wild donkeys. Only one out of ten thousand good horses in the Mobei is far from the girls in Yingchun Tower. This kind of car is naturally what tourists who wander around the world dream of.

Many tourists from the world were too lazy to look at Xu Buling. They looked up and down for a few glances and began to whisper:

"Is this the 'jade dragon' of the priest today?"

"It seems to be..."

The prince and noble son who had seen the world beside him laughed slightly contemptuously: "The tail of the 'jade dragon' in the current saint is white, and the tail of this wind-chasing horse is black, and it is obviously the mount of Prince Su..."

Speaking of this, the noble man reacted, looked up and immediately sat down with a girl with a red face. When he looked to the side, he realized Xu Buling, who had a cold face and a very elegant temperament.

"Oh~ I've seen the little prince, but I haven't noticed it when I missed the inspection next time. Don't blame me..."

Hearing this, the bustling crowd finally knew who was coming. He quickly separated a road outside the building and looked at Xu Buling with a little fear.

In front of everyone, Song Yufu's face was like a fire, forcibly calmed down, and followed Xu Buling into the brothel...
