Chapter 8 Beauty Picture

After asking Qiao'e to pick up the scroll, the queen mother sorted out her clothes and sat down on the soft couch next to her, picked up the bronze mirror and looked at it, and there was a bit of sadness between her eyebrows:

"I have been in the deep palace for ten years and have long passed the age of being in my prime, which is not as good as that of the past..."

Xu Buling shook his head with a smile: "Mrs. Don't be humble. In Buling's opinion, the Queen Mother is young and is not as old as she is. Besides, a beautiful woman is like mellow wine. The fine wine that has been preserved over the years is naturally better than the new wine that has just been released."

This is what the Queen Mother once said. When she heard this, the Queen Mother blinked her eyes and covered her lips with her sleeves and laughed "sneer-":

"I didn't see that Xiao Buling's mouth is quite sweet. No wonder Hongluan stared at you all day long."

Xu Buling was righteous: "It's just telling the truth, there is no intention of flattery."

The Empress Dowager was in a much better mood. She put down the bronze mirror and posed in a rather dignified but not concealed charm. She thought about it for a while:

"Time is unforgivable, it is not as good as back then. Well... Have you heard of Xu Danqing?"

Xu Buling nodded: "Contemporary painting saints, during the Xuanhe period, eight beauties were painted, and my mother was one of them. The portrait is still hanging in the study of my father."

A little smugness flashed in the queen mother's eyes and she nodded slightly:

"When Xu Danqing was a guest at the Xiao family in Huainan, he also painted a picture for this palace. At that time, because of the rumor of this incident, he made a statement about "Xuanhe Bakui" and brought me into it."

“I heard something.”

"What a pity~ Now things have changed. Xu Danqing has painted eight people in succession, and all of them have a rough life. Queen Cui Xiaowan died in depression, and the lady of the Tang family escaped from marriage and became a monk. Your mother... Alas~ I am quite lucky, but I can't escape the fate of living alone in the deep palace. I don't know if it's because Xu Danqing's pen is poisonous."

"Zi doesn't say that the strange powers are in chaos, and the Queen Mother should not be bothered by these things."

Xu Buling is not comfortable either. After all, an empress dowager will definitely be inseparable from the deep palace in this life. There is no other way except to relax and live a happier life.

After a moment, Qiao'e trotted over and carefully held the painting box in her hand.

The Empress Dowager obviously attached great importance to this painting. After getting up and taking it, she opened the painting scroll in front of Xu Buling, and a picture of a beauty appeared on the paper.

The woman on the scroll is similar to the empress dowager. She is wearing a silk skirt and holding a round fan. There are two green bamboos and a magpies around her. She writes simple and casually, but in every stroke, she shows the beauty who is as old as cardamom. Through the scroll, you can feel the slightly playful and lively look on the beauty.

The Empress Dowager was very interested and explained patiently: "The two bamboos on the painting are Xiangfei Bamboo, the nickname of this palace is 'Xiao Xianger'. In ancient times, Emperor Shun succeeded Yao, Ehuang and Nuying as his concubine. Later, Emperor Shun went to the south to inspect and died in Cangwu. The two concubines went to search and learned that Emperor Shun was dead. They were buried at the foot of Jiuyi Mountain. They hugged the bamboo and cried bitterly. The tears stained the green bamboo. They died when they died. This bamboo was called "Xiaoxiang Bamboo"..."

Xu Buling had heard of this and nodded: "Then this magpie..."

Qiao'e stood beside her to help support the scroll and said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager was very lively when she was young. When she heard Xu Danqing passed by, she sent someone to invite Xu Danqing back and chattered for several days..."

The Queen Mother's cheeks were slightly red, with a little dissatisfaction.

Qiao'e quickly shut up, lowered her head and stopped talking.

Xu Buling sat in front of the desk with a brush, and suddenly felt a little empathetic.

Xu Danqing, a gangster, could not afford to be a member of the Xiao family in Huainan? It is estimated that his situation was similar to that of him. The wording within the "please" and "persuasion" was too elegant, and it is probably more realistic to say "binding" and "threat".

Xu Buling could even imagine the Empress Dowager who stared at her eyes and said, "If you don't draw today, you will live in the Xiao family for the rest of your life."

However, the Empress Dowager was well deserved by her appearance alone. Those who could enter the palace as the mother of the country were all beautiful beauties of nature. There may be other reasons why Xu Danqing was tied to her to make paintings.

The Queen Mother was very enthusiastic about introducing the scroll for a while, then she put the beauty picture beside her and said with a smile:

"Xiao Buling, do you think the people on the scroll are more beautiful, or is this palace more beautiful now?"

Kindergarten level exams.

Xu Buling thought: "Although the beauty in the scroll has a charming national color, she is a little immature and tender. Compared with the current queen mother, it is like the Duanyu Shao in the Sun Family Shop and the Duanyu Shao in the Queen Mother's secret collection for ten years. The same wine, the latter is better in terms of appearance and charm."

“Geehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The queen mother's eyebrows were curved and her eyes were chuckled repeatedly: "You are not a big man, but you speak so nicely."

Xu Buling shook his head: "If I have any false words, I will really stew myself."

The Queen Mother smiled for a moment, put away the scroll, put her palace skirt in front of the desk, and placed her hands on her waist, standing graceful and graceful figure to the fullest.

"Seeing that you are so good at speaking, I won't care about your lying. I will write a poem in my appearance, especially Hongluan."

Xu Bu let the Empress Dowager openly watch for a long time, see her feet from her head, and then see her head from her feet.

The Empress Dowager did not avoid Xu Buling as a junior, and she also carried the hem of the skirt and turned around in the same place. In the common postures of court dance, the hem of the skirt flew away, and every movement and stop, showing the color of the city.

Xu Buling held the pen with his sleeves and wanted to carry Li Bai's "Yun Xiang Clothes, Flowers, Love" out to hand over it. After all, this song is the most suitable.

But after hesitating for a moment with the brush, Xu Buling remembered the Dragon Locking Gu on his body again. Looking at the empress dowager in front of him, she was silent for a moment, and lifted the pen and wrote it on the white rice paper:

When autumn comes, September 8th, I will kill all the flowers after the flowers bloom.

The fragrance array soars into Chang'an, and the city is covered with golden armor.

After writing, Xu Buling put the wolf hair on Bishan and nodded slightly.

The empress dowager didn't expect that she would finish writing so soon. She walked to Xu Buling with some expectations, and glanced at the rice paper, with a little bit of stunning look, and picked it up and observed carefully.

"Um……"

The Queen Mother obviously liked it very much, but although she didn't know that this poem was written by the rebels when they broke Chang'an, the murderous aura in it could be seen. If this was misinterpreted, it would inevitably cause trouble.

The Queen Mother planned it for a moment and smiled and said, "No, I don't have the ability to be arrogant yet. This poem is too murderous."

Xu Buling shook his head and smiled: "I was poisoned and I have never found a way to detoxify. I really have a little bit of anger in my heart. Don't blame me."

The Queen Mother folded the rice paper and put it in her arms, saying with a smile:

"The court has been pursuing the Dragon Lock Gu, and sooner or later there will be clues. You are still young, so be calm. As long as you are not angry and drink strong alcohol often, the Dragon Lock Gu will not easily occur."

Xu Buling nodded and chuckled, asked the palace maid to put away the writing and writing of the book. After chatting with the empress dowager for a few casual conversations, she asked casually:

"By the way, I have been good at martial arts since I was a child, and I have heard from Eunuch Jia a few days ago. I heard Aunt Lu say that Eunuch Jia also has an adopted son named Jia Yi. I have never seen him since I came to the capital. Can the Empress Dowager know him?"
