The prince is very fierce

Inside the Imperial City.

The Song family's family banquet had just ended, and the concubines and princesses went back to their bedrooms. Several young princes, accompanied by their grandmothers, listened to the teachings of Emperor Dayue.

The Queen Mother was dressed up and sitting in the first place. Although she was too young compared to her position, her dignified demeanor was impeccable. She conscientiously fulfilled her responsibilities as an elder and sometimes coaxed the prince who was still babbling and learning to speak. Song Ji said When it comes to key points, she will nod slightly.

Several princes are still young, the oldest is only four or five years old. They are all born to beautiful concubines. The mother's bad birth does not mean that she is a legitimate child. In a wealthy family, a concubine's son basically has no status at all, unlike his father. Everyone at the same table has extravagant hopes. However, Song Ji was very serious towards the young princes, neither showing favoritism nor neglecting them, and he conscientiously fulfilled his duties as a father.

As the saying goes, no one is perfect, but capable people can often minimize their flaws. Just like Song Ji, no matter he was an emperor or a father, no one could fault him at all. Even as a husband, he had a deep affection for his late wife, which made people have to admire him.

Because of her age, the Queen Mother and Song Ji were like mother and son, but they did not have much daily contact. At this time when she should give up the leadership to the emperor, she would not interrupt at will because of her status, but would just quietly act as a vase next to her. .

After waiting patiently for Song Ji to finish teaching the prince, the family banquet was completely over. Although it was the end of the New Year, Song Ji never put down his political affairs for a day. Except for one night in the harem on New Year's Eve, he still spent the rest of the time in the imperial study.

The Queen Mother was already accustomed to this and was not easy to persuade. After watching Song Ji and Eunuch Jia leave, she asked the palace maid to send the young princes back to her mother's bedroom, while she took Qiao'e back to Changle Palace.

The chariot swayed through the red-walled corridor between the majestic palaces.

The Queen Mother was leaning on the carved chariot, looking at the high palace wall next to her. Through the palace wall, she could vaguely hear the sounds of horse hooves galloping, soldiers shouting, and dragon and lion dances outside the wall. They were very far away. , seems to be another world.

Qiao'e was walking beside the chariot and saw the Queen Mother looking at the palace wall as if she had something on her mind, so she said:

"Queen Mother, if you feel bored staying in the palace, could you please arrange a day to go out of the palace for a walk?"

The Queen Mother's brows showed a bit of laziness. She withdrew her gaze from the palace wall, held up her cheeks and sighed quietly: "I am a bird in a cage, so what if I go out for a breather? I have long been used to it."

Qiao'e hesitated for a moment, then suddenly approached the Queen Mother and said softly: "My maid, the Queen Mother was very happy when she saw Prince Xu coming. Would you like to invite Prince Xu to come and sit with her?"

The Queen Mother blinked her beautiful eyes, hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and sighed: "It's the Chinese New Year, Hong Luan can't bear to part with her precious baby, I'm sure she won't come if I go to invite her, let's wait until after the Lantern Festival..."

"What about Second Young Master Xiao?"

"That idiot Xiao Ting spends the New Year eating and drinking outside. He doesn't even want to say New Year's greetings. Why does he pay any attention to him..."

"oh……"

When Qiao'e saw this, she didn't want to say much. She sighed softly and accompanied the lonely Queen Mother back to Changle Palace...

--------

Just after the New Year, the lights, feasting, singing and dancing among the wells of Chang'an city far surpassed any other place in the world.

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

The so-called "four pests of the capital" are not just in vain. There are many places for recreation in Longyin Pavilion, and the word "elegance" is revealed inside and outside. It is called "the son of a rich man who comes in, and has a breeze on his sleeves when he goes out". He has no social status at all. Dare to go in.

Yingchun House is a brothel, and the good guys who have been wandering around Zhuangyuan Street for many years have also given it a saying: "Enter the door to be a heroic hero, and go out to be a peach blossom." This naturally means that when you go in, you will be strong and powerful, and when you go out, you will be with your mother. He was so unsteady that he couldn't even stand still.

Of course, these are all jokes among the people in the world. It is difficult for a brothel to become a gold-selling kiln on par with Longyin Pavilion just by relying on its flesh and blood business. The main force in the brothel is still the Qinghuer who is excellent in both sex and art.

In the afternoon, Xu Buling led his horse to the outside of Yingchun Building, not far from Longyin Pavilion. The three-story building was covered with flowers, and orioles were leaning against the window to greet familiar guests. There were many carriages and horses outside the building, and countless young men who were either rich or noble came in to greet each other. Occasionally, famous talents or knights would arrive, and girls would come out to greet them personally, attracting envious eyes from everyone in the audience.

Xu Buling came here just to prove that he came to Yingchun Tower, so he would not keep a low profile. The horse chasing the wind and snow behind him was eye-catching enough. When some knowledgeable Jianghu people noticed it, they immediately turned their eyes away from the girls. Open, turn to the majestic and ordinary war horse.

Chai Feng Horse is as tall as an adult man at the shoulder. When compared with the other horses outside the building, there is no difference between the other horses and wild donkeys. There is only one horse out of 10,000 Mobei horses, which is much rarer than the girl in Yingchun Tower. , this kind of car is naturally the dream of wandering travelers.

Many Jianghu people didn't even bother to look at Xu Buling. They looked up and down a few times and then began to whisper:

"Is this the 'Jade Dragon' that is the Holy One today?"

"It seems so..."

The prince and noble son next to him, who had seen the world, laughed with a slight contempt: "The tail of the 'Jade Dragon' of the current emperor is white, and the tail of this horse chasing the wind is black. It is obviously the mount of Prince Su..."

At this point, the noble young man finally reacted and looked up. A quiet girl with a red face sat there. Looking to the side, he found Xu Buling with a cold face and extraordinary temperament.

"Oh~ Meet the young prince. I didn't notice it for a moment. Please don't blame me, young prince..."

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

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Song Yufu's face was like fire. She forced herself to be calm and followed Xu Buling into the brothel...
