It was already night in a blink of an eye. On Baishi Avenue outside the palace, Xiao Xiang'er was walking leisurely with two strings of candied haws in her hand, while Qiao'e was carrying two big bags, containing rare objects collected from the market. She followed behind with some overwhelming gripe, whispering:

"Miss, I've been going down the south of the Yangtze River for thousands of miles and spent most of my time on the boat. We should buy more delicious food. I'll get tired of these things after watching them for a while. I've never seen you see them in the palace before..."

Xiao Xiang'er folded her hands around her waist. If it weren't for the two candied haws, her temperament was no different from the dignified and majestic empress dowager before. She was a little dissatisfied when she heard Qiao'e's words:

"I just knew that eating, and being a maid would be disliked by others when I gain weight. Originally, I was going to ask you to serve Xu Buling in the future..."

"ah?!"

Qiao'e's eyes lit up, and she suddenly became weak. She ran to her with two large packages, looking anxious:

"Miss, how can this work? I have been serving you for so many years and can't bear to part with you..."

"Yes, so let's forget it. Let the prince's mansion find a little girl with a few taels of meat for Xu Buling. If you go over, Xu Buling will definitely be eaten up... Huh? Qiao'e, why don't you leave?"

"A little tired... take a break..."

Xiao Xiang'er sighed helplessly, turned around and raised a big package: "Qiao'e, don't worry, you are my maid. Even if I am not the queen mother now, no one can bully you, especially that guy Xu Buling..."

As she was talking, Xiao Xiang'er suddenly saw Xu Buling leaning against a willow tree next to Baishi Avenue and was looking at her.

Xiao Xiang'er's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously shut up, but when she thought about it, she felt something was wrong. She was Xu Buling's life-saving benefactor. These words were the truth, so what's there to be afraid of?

"What are you looking at? You're just here to help carry things. Qiao'e is so tired..."

Xu Buling shook his head and chuckled, walked to Xiao Xianger, took the two large packages, with a very gentle look:

"Baby, why don't you let the guard carry it?"

Xiao Xianger was very dissatisfied with the title of "baby", but it was useless to correct it many times. He gradually got used to it. He walked in front of him with an elder attitude and said calmly:

"In the past, I was always rushing around and rushing around everywhere I went. I was tired of it, just let them follow in the dark."

"Why don't you ask me to accompany you?"

"Who knows where you died? I can't find anyone in seven or eight days..."

Xiao Xiang'er took a few steps, remembered something, and turned her head and said, "Today, the sun is big, I didn't want to go out, but Hongluan drove me out..."

Xu Buling was a little confused: "What's wrong?"

"What else can I do? The prince's mansion has arranged for you to have a personal maid. Before I saw you, Hongluan called the little girl over and asked about her well-being like a daughter. She almost recognized her as her goddaughter. She drove me out today and must be teaching the little girl how to inform her..."

Xu Buling laughed, and it was naturally difficult to respond.

While talking, after entering the gate of the palace, Xu Buling turned his head and looked at Qiao'e:

"You go back to your room first."

Qiao'e had a strange look and took the package back with a tactful look, and ran into the back house quickly.

Xiao Xiang'er's body froze slightly, stopped talking, her expression changed a little, and she followed Qiao'e back, but before she took a step, she was stopped by Xu Buling.

Xiao Xiang'er raised her cheeks, held the candied haws in her chest, and took two steps back until she leaned against the corner of the corridor and could not retreat. Then she tried to calm down:

"What are you doing?"

Xu Buling smiled and raised his hand to hold his beautiful and charming face and rubbed it, then pulled it back.

Xiao Xianger was immediately annoyed and raised her hand to push Xu Buling:

"You are presumptuous! I...ah, don't be here..."

Xu Buling bent down and took a few sips, and finally felt satisfied. He let go of his hand and pulled a candied haws:

"I went out a few days ago and it seemed to be poisonous again..."

"Forget it to poison you."

Xiao Xiang'er wiped her red lips, glared at her anger, and then ran back.

Xu Buling gnawed a sweet and sour candied haw and said with a smile:

"Baby, come to the study to find me in the middle of the year."

"Get out...you think beautifully..."

Xiao Xiang'er walked in a hurry and disappeared into the corridor in the blink of an eye.

Xu Buling secretly said, "Must and wrong", turned around and walked towards his courtyard, ready to dress up for a baby, and date the baby tonight.

After returning to Suzhou, eight royal guards returned to the team, and Lao Xiao brought a group of guests to study "Spring and Autumn" under the moon. Xu Bu became accustomed to living alone. Apart from washing up in the morning, he usually did not ask maids to come. There were fewer people in the courtyard than when he was in Chang'an.

The night is quiet, and there are no lights in the vast courtyard.

Xu Buling returned to the bedroom and closed the door, so he came to the cabinet and prepared to find a robe suitable for watching the moon at night.

Just as he opened the cabinet door, Xu Buling's light noticed that there were a pair of bright eyes staring at him on his bed, holding his breath and condensing his breath without a trace. He didn't notice it just now.

Xu Buling returned to his room in the back house of the royal palace, and suddenly saw these eyes. He was really scared. He turned his head and looked at him. He found that on the black bed, a little girl was huddled in the quilt, lying on the side, looking at him with a serious look:

"Young Master..."

“…”

Xu Buling looked around and didn't go to the wrong room, and it seemed a little inexplicable:

"Nightingale, what are you doing?"

Nightingale was very slim and a small one. She was almost invisible when she lay in the quilt. She didn't get up at this time and said seriously:

"Report to the young master, warm the bed."

“Warm the bed?”

Xu Buling closed the cabinet door and turned his head to look out the window.

By the end of July, although the temperature difference between day and night in Suzhou City was extremely large, it was still more than ten degrees, and it was not until the time to cover the quilt.

Xu Buling walked to the bed and squatted halfway, and looked at the little girl with a melon-shaped face and full of spiritual energy:

"The weather is so warm, what bed do you warm up?"

The nightingale's expression did not change at all, but the eyes were not clear. The room was quiet, and the heartbeat could not be blocked. "Pu thump ~", obviously still nervous.

"Madam Dingxiang said, in the future, I will serve the young master, bring tea and water, warm the bed and fold the quilt. I have never been a maid... Is this right?"

"That's right, it's right..."

Xu Buling usually has no airs. After thinking about it, he dragged a small stool from beside him and sat down, looking at the little girl with serious appearance. Madam Dingxiang now sends him a beautiful maid over, and brings tea and water. The biggest function is to help manage the things in the back house after he is mature, so as not to be too strong in the big room. If he is a master, he feels sorry for the concubine in the side room and is difficult to speak. It is more convenient to have a girl secretly favoring her in front of him.

Xu Buling thought for a while and asked:

"Nightingale, what did you do before?"
