The prince is very fierce

During the chat, Xu Buling stretched his legs under the table again.

The Queen Mother obviously saw it, but she didn't kick him again. She just looked at the snack box, wondering what she was thinking, and her eyes were full of pride and anger.

Xu Buling shook his head secretly. After all, she was a woman who was not experienced in the world. No matter how smart her brain was, it was useless. She would still be tricked...

The Queen Mother was in a much better mood. She put aside the matter of her bellyband for the time being and looked at the rouge box on the table:

"Xianzhizhai has something new?"

Xu Buling smiled brightly, picked up two boxes of rouge, and first placed the 'Red Orchid Nectar' in front of the Queen Mother:

"It's a new lipstick this year, but it doesn't change much."

The Queen Mother picked it up, opened the lid and looked at it for a few times, then brought it to her nose and smelled it, nodded slightly, and then looked at the other box in Xu Buring's hand, a little curious:

"This is?"

Xu Buling then picked up the ‘Camellia Butter’ recommended by Aunt Lu, opened it and placed it in front of the Queen Mother:

"When I was shopping at Xianzhizhai, I happened to see this 'Camellia Butter'. The price is not high, but in my opinion, the color of 'Red Orchid Nectar' is a bit brighter. Although it is very beautiful, it is different from the Queen Mother's dignified and majestic look. The temperament doesn't quite match, and the color is too bright and overwhelms the Queen Mother's own color, which seems to overwhelm the queen mother...

...But this 'Camellia Butter' is different, just like the woman picking lotus: the lotus leaf skirt is cut in one color, and the hibiscus blooms on both sides of the face. You can't see anyone entering the pool, but when you hear the song, you feel someone is coming. It is clear but not demonic, plain but not bland, and complements the Queen Mother's appearance. There is no need to deliberately embellish it. It is better to think of it this way. "

"!?"

The soft words reached her ears, and the Queen Mother gradually froze on the spot, staring at Xu Buling with her beautiful eyes.

Xu Buling, as calm as ever, placed the rouge box in front of the Queen Mother. Seeing that the Queen Mother was a little dazed, she frowned slightly in confusion:

"Queen Mother?"

"……oh!"

The Queen Mother finally came back to her senses. Her eyes were full of surprise and inexplicability. She subconsciously raised her hand to hook the hair beside her ears and sat up straighter:

"Not bad...the lotus leaf skirt is cut in one color, and the hibiscus is spread to both sides of the face. You can't see it when you enter the pool. When you hear the song, you will feel that someone is coming...the poem is not bad..."

The Queen Mother pretended to be calm, but she couldn't hide the loss in her eyes. She was obviously still thinking about the words and poems just now.

Xu Buling secretly smiled in his heart, took the opportunity to sit a little closer, looked directly at the Queen Mother's beautiful face, and tilted his head to look at her:

"Would you like to give it a try, Queen Mother?"

"...try it..."

The Queen Mother felt a little restless. She looked at Xu Buling and then at the rouge box. Her mind was in a mess and she didn't know what to think. She actually obeyed and picked up the lip pencil in the box and looked around for the bronze mirror.

Xu Buling shook his head and chuckled. He raised his hand and took the red brush with lipstick. He sat a little closer, his eyes were pure and flawless, and he put the lip pencil to the Queen Mother's lips.

"..."

The alluring beauty was dressed in a red dress, sitting sideways on the carpet, looking up at the beautiful young man in front of her. With the magnificent but not popular palace, the scene was breathtakingly beautiful.

There was obviously some confusion in the Queen Mother's clear eyes, but she didn't move for some reason. After a slight hesitation, the tip of the pen touched her lips, and she applied the lip gloss softly and meticulously.

"Hey!..."

The cold feeling finally brought the Queen Mother back to her senses.

Reason finally prevailed, suppressing the thousands of emotions in his heart.

The Queen Mother leaned back slightly to avoid the brush, covered her lips with her red sleeves, glanced at Xu Buling in a panic, thought about it, and laughed again:

"No matter how big or small, there is a man who paints a woman's lips, it's really..."

Xu Buling was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and put down the lip pencil with a natural expression: "Actually, it's nothing. I often help Aunt Lu comb her hair, and she doesn't care about it."

The Queen Mother clenched her hands tightly, shook her head, closed the rouge box, and smiled dignifiedly:

"Let's eat. I like things very much. I'm interested..."

Xu Buling nodded and chuckled, picked up the warmed wine bottle, and began to pour and drink.

I came here today and brought two jars of wine. The apricot blossom wine produced in the Jiangnan water town is considered fruit wine. It has a soft taste with a floral aroma. It is the most popular among women. It tastes soft and has no punch. It still has some staying power but not much. It is purely for drinking. Add to the fun.

The Queen Mother did not drink alcohol on weekdays, but after being persuaded several times to drink, she did not refuse. She drank with Xu Buling in a small sip, and her expression was still that of an elder.

In the main hall with the doors and windows closed, two people sat together without anyone disturbing them. The atmosphere kept wandering between alienation and harmony.

Soon after drinking for three rounds, the Queen Mother's pretty face was slightly flushed, and her forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat due to her abundant natural juices. Her eyes were like a pool of clear water, and she still pretended to be calm and spoke calmly.

And Xu Buling...

thump--

A muffled sound sounded in the main courtyard.

After Xu Buling drank a pot of Duan Yu Shao, he pretended that he was too drunk, swayed a few times drunkenly, and lay down on the carpet with his arms and legs spread out.

"??"

The Queen Mother was talking about the family's shortcomings. When she saw Xu Buling lying down, she blinked her eyes and took a moment to react:

"Why did you lie down again..."

The Queen Mother thought for a while, climbed up from the carpet to Xu Buring, held Xu Buring's wrist and felt his pulse carefully. After she found that there was no problem, she breathed a sigh of relief and leaned over to look at Xu Buring's brows:

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"

After calling a few words softly, Xu Buling had no response.

The Queen Mother was silent for a moment, sitting next to Xu Buling, looking down carefully, staring for a long time, but she didn't know what she was looking at.

The wide main courtyard was silent, with only two steady breaths.

It was unknown how long it took before the Queen Mother came back to her senses, raised her hand and wanted to scratch Xu Buling's tall nose, but she stopped halfway.

After a little hesitation, the Queen Mother still acted dignified and called out loudly:

"Qiao'e, send the prince to the side hall to rest for a while."

"Yes!"

Qiao'e and several palace maids pushed open the door and came in. Seeing Xu Buling lying down again, they carried the unconscious Xu Buling out with a smile.

The Queen Mother sat alone at the table, looking at the box of rouge on it, and then looked at the sky outside.

It was not yet noon, and it was still early.

"The lotus leaf skirt is cut in the same color, and the lotus blossoms on both sides of the face. I can't see it when I enter the pond, but I realize someone is coming when I hear the song..."

The soft murmur sounded in the hall.

The queen mother hesitated for a while, but still couldn't help it. She stood up and walked to the soft couch, picked up the bronze mirror that had been with her for many years, and trotted to the table to sit down, opened the rouge box, and painted carefully in front of the bronze mirror.

Red jade half-opened the face of the Bodhisattva, and cinnabar thickened the lips of willow branches.

After the queen mother finished dressing up, she looked at her cheek in the bronze mirror with satisfaction.

The woman in the mirror was mature and charming, still beautiful, but it was a pity that she was no longer the little girl of the age of marriage. Even if she had a thousand styles, who could appreciate it...

The queen mother stared at the mirror blankly, and her slightly complacent expression gradually became dull.

After a long time, a faint sigh sounded in the main hall...
