Seven days later.

Xu Buling walked out of the Imperial College and whistled. A black horse with snow-hoofed legs that was above the shoulder height ran out of the horse house and stopped in front of the dismounting monument on the Bluestone Street.

The horse is the "Snow-chasing Wind-Chasing Hooves" produced in Mobei. Among the Xiliang army under King Su, the cavalry occupied 100,000, and the source of horses came from Mobei. A hundred good horses produced one snow hooves, and a hundred snow hooves produced one wind. The price is comparable to gold of the same weight, and it is hard to buy with money. There are only two horses in Chang'an, and the other one is the emperor's car.

Xu Buling turned over and galloped towards the Su Palace in Kuishou Street, Changlefang. The surrounding areas of the imperial city were all kings, princes, generals and ministers. The outside of the mansions of each family were tightly guarded, but there were not many pedestrians.

After about a cup of tea, I passed through three octagonal archways on Kuishou Street. I saw a sedan chair parked outside the Su Palace, and a dignified maid standing at the door with an umbrella, waiting respectfully.

He is Mrs. Lu's personal maid.

Xu Buling had a headache, and he strangled the horse and was about to turn back to the Imperial College for one night. There were already crisp shouts behind him:

"Little Prince!"

Xu Buling sighed, and could only walk across the snowy street with his horse's belly, and walked to the maid, asking knowingly:

"Yuenu, why did you run over?"

Yuenu was blessed with a gift like water, and his voice was gentle:

"Your Highness, the prince, my wife has been waiting for you at home for three days. She didn't see you coming. She thought something happened to you, so she asked me to come and take a look."

Xu Buling nodded slightly, turned his horse's head to go to Mrs. Lu's residence.

Kuishou Street is full of kings, princes, generals and ministers. The three octagonal arches at the intersection of the street were given to the three families "Xiao, Lu, and Xu".

The Xiao family in Huainan is one of the clans of Dayue. The Yangyang Central Plains changed dynasties three times, and the Xiao family stood firm and became prime ministers for generations. The Lu family in Jinling is also a clan family, and the house in the capital is opposite the Xiao family. The Xu family was only split in front of Jiazi and was named king. In terms of the background of the three families, the difference is quite big.

When Mrs. Lu was young, she gave a young handsome talent from Xiao, but unfortunately her husband died early and became a widow as soon as she passed away.

The aristocratic family values ​​etiquette and convention. As a descendant of the Lu family, Mrs. Lu naturally adheres to integrity and cannot remarry. She has received excellent reputations over the years. She has become accustomed to living in the capital and does not want to go to Huainan. She has always lived in Jinghuayuan near Xiao Mansion.

Xu Buling turned over and dismounted outside Jinghuayuan and asked the guards to wait outside. Then he entered the garden in a familiar manner and came to the other courtyard by the lake.

The cold wind rustled, and the strange flowers and trees in the garden had already withered, covered with misty snow.

The elegant courtyard is not big, and it is built near the lake and is a place to enjoy the cool summer. Mrs. Lu likes to be quiet and lives here all the time, leaving only a few maids to serve her.

The blue tiles on the white wall are covered with snow foam, and red lanterns are hanging outside the courtyard gate swaying in the wind.

Xu Buling walked slowly outside the other courtyard. The gate was open, and the maid walked back and forth, holding a basin of water in her hand, and snow-white mist was emitting in the severe winter cold.

Crazy-

The sound of water splashes came.

Xu Buling hesitated for a moment, turned around and walked towards the stone pavilion outside the other courtyard. However, the maid inside had already seen him, and hurried over and said respectfully:

"Little Prince, the lady is taking a shower, please wait for a moment."

"good."

Xu Buling tightened the snow-white fox fur tightly, and stood quietly outside the yard waiting.

But soon, after the maid went in and reported, a slightly annoyed voice came from the small courtyard, which was very serious:

"No, come in."

“…?”

Xu Buling put his hands together and looked at the white snow in the gorgeous garden, as if he hadn't heard it.

Stepping on—

The maid jogged over with a slightly strange expression. She secretly glanced at the handsome and unparalleled prince and whispered:

"Little Prince, my wife asked you to go in~"

“(⊙_⊙)!”

Xu Buling frowned slightly, only to think that Mrs. Lu was a little playful. Although he was in his body, his mind was already mature, and he was not young.

"Come in! You don't even listen to my words?"

Mrs. Lu's slightly annoyed voice seemed to have slapped the water with her hands.

Xu Buling entered the villa with his teeth, and the dim lights were lit in the west wing, and the side contour of a woman was reflected on the window paper, with graceful curves and concave concave and convexity, and the maid was walking around it.

Xu Buling looked elsewhere, walked to the window and stopped, chuckled:

"Aunt Lu, I'm waiting outside, you can do it first."

"You run away again later. I'll ask you to come over. You're okay, pretending not to hear me, thinking I'm not talking about it?"

Crazy-

Xu Buling rubbed his forehead, turned his back to the window, and thought for a while:

"Aunt Lu is too worried, um... there is something private..."

There was a constant rumbling sound in the room, and there was a little silence, then I sighed softly, with a little resentment:

"Forget it, I'm just asking, just be careful. You hit Xiao Ting a few days ago..."

"I know I'm wrong."

"I didn't say you were wrong. I beat you well. Xiao Ting is always so sloppy and bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. He doesn't look like a man at all. If he hadn't been my brother-in-law, I would have dealt with him long ago."

"Well...well, I'll keep working hard next time."

"Xiao Ting ran to the palace to complain, and the queen mother asked me to discipline you. Humph~ Why am I willing to discipline you? It's too late to care for you, I wish I could hold you in my mouth...

...Alas~ It’s a pity that you have grown up and don’t like people to take care of them. I also feel like I’m verbally talking..."

As he talked, he felt a little resentful.

Xu Buling took a breath, calmly said with a younger generation's tone:

"How could it be? I like Aunt Lu the most, and no one cares about it."

“…righteous words…”

The tone finally became gentler, and the sound of water sounded, as if it was coming out of the bathtub. There was a constant rustling sound, and the sound of reminders sounded:

"I'm asking you to come here, not to train you. An assassin came to the capital. He has a very good martial arts skills. Zhang Xiang, the chief of the Investigation Department, was almost assassinated. Ten years ago, the Investigation Department launched a large-scale crackdown on the people of the Investigation City, leaving behind many remnants of the Investigation City. Your father also sent troops to clear out the people of the Investigation City, and may also attack you. Be careful recently."

Xu Buling nodded slightly: "I know."

"Also, what's going on with the case of Private Salt?"

Xu Buling knew that he would say this, but said helplessly:

"I happened to pass by and just helped me."

"Help me and help me out with the reputation of Master Qingtian. Do you think you are not famous enough?"

Xu Buling felt guilty and speechless.

"...Forget it, the matter has come out, and it is useless to say more. I have asked the Imperial Guard to suppress this matter. Be careful in the future... Also, how old are you to kill someone? If you have more than a hundred lives, you will be allowed to kill someone in the future."

"Haha, I know."

"Don't just know that you have to do things and do ridiculous things, not good things."

The door of the west wing opened. Mrs. Lu walked out wearing a thin shirt and covered with a shawl. Her hair was wet and scattered on her back. Her cheeks were a bit rosy and charming, like a gorgeous peony blooming in the wind and snow.

It was very cold in winter. I just took a shower and walked out of the warm room. When the cold wind blew, Mrs. Lu frowned and shrank her neck slightly.

Seeing this, Xu Buling untied the white fox fur on his body and stepped forward to put it on her shoulder. He was half a head taller than Mrs. Lu, and the fox fur was a little bigger, so he just wrapped it tightly.

Mrs. Lu tightened the fox fur on her body, and the warm warmth dispelled the cold air around her body, and her face became much better. She became more dignified and turned her head to look at Xu Buling, who was only wearing a white robe: "Don't catch a cold, go into the house." She turned around and walked towards the boudoir.

Xu Buling thought about it for a while, shook his head helplessly, and walked into the room.

The boudoir in the other courtyard is not big, with piano tables, painting tables, soft couches, and tea seas in it. Behind the bead curtain is an embroidered bed, which is small and exquisite, and it is very warm with the stove.

The door was closed, Xu Buling looked around and sat down by the tea sea, skillfully soaking the Long Tuan Shengxue from Nanyue.

Mrs. Lu untied the fox fur on her body and sat down beside the soft couch in a thin green skirt. There was a bronze mirror, a comb and jewelry next to it. She was about to pick up the comb when she suddenly frowned slightly, picked up the snow-white fur fur, and got closer to smell it, and her expression gradually became serious.

Xu Buling fiddled with the tea set and was a little confused: "What's wrong with Aunt Lu?"

Mrs. Lu held the fox fur and leaned over to her nose and sniffed it carefully: "Xianzhizhai's 'moon palace glaze', the fragrant powder from her daughter's house..."

“…”

Xu Buling's hand movements froze. In the past few days, he often raised Song Yufu high and threw it out of the bell tower to threaten, but he just held it down with his hand. Can this be smelled?

Mrs. Lu pursed her lips slightly and stared at Xu Buling seriously: "The fragrance of osmanthus in the Moon Palace is very light and the price is expensive. Generally, only the official lady from the scholarly family can use it... Who is this girl?"

Xu Buling was holding the tea on his own, a little helpless: "Aunt Lu, don't you believe me? I just accidentally ran into a female student in Wenquyuan and didn't go out to do anything."

"What are you talking about?"

Mrs. Lu's expression was serious and obviously angry. She sat upright: "As the prince of a vassal prince, how could I stop you from looking for a woman? If you miss a woman, just say to me, I can find any kind of woman for you..." As she said that, she turned her head and called:

"Monthnu."

"exist."

Yuenu who rushed back entered the room respectfully and nodded slightly.

"Send the prince down to rest. You will be with him tonight, and you will follow the prince from now on."
