The prince is very fierce

"Queen Mother..."

There was the sound of tiny footsteps outside the side hall.

Xu Buling, who had been waiting for a long time, stood in front of the snow-white wall decorated with ink stains, took up his pen and wrote in the lower right corner of the splash-ink peony painting:

"...Only peonies are the true national color..."

Ever since he made a promise to Mrs. Lu before the New Year, he would stay at home and study this when he didn't go out for more than a month. I had some painting skills in my previous life, and I wanted to draw a sketch for Mrs. Lu, but unfortunately I had almost forgotten it, so I could only draw a simpler peony flower. So far, the effect is good.

Tread——

Light footsteps sounded from outside the door at the back.

Xu Buling pretended to be drunk and uninhibited, dropped the pen on the ground, raised his head and picked up the wine jar and took a big sip, then turned around and showed a bright smile, preparing to leave an unforgettable impression on the Queen Mother.

only……

"Your Majesty!"

Mrs. Lu, who was wearing a long blue dress, stared at her eyes full of tenderness, and stood at the door infatuatedly. Her hands folded on her waist held the skirt tightly, her mouth was slightly open, and her cheeks were full of shock and disbelief.

"?!"

Xu's temperament didn't make his heart stop. He was also startled and felt a chill running down his spine, from head to toe.

Why did Aunt Lu come here to kill her? !

My life is at an end!

Mrs. Lu's eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes swept over the peonies splashed with ink on the wall, and then looked at Xu Buling, who was covered in ink. She pursed her lips for a long time, unable to say a word.

Xu Buling was not frightened yet. As his mind changed rapidly, the wine jar in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. Then he staggered two steps forward: "Aunt Lu...hehe... "Then he became unstable and fell forward.

"ah--"

Mrs. Lu finally woke up and hurriedly stepped forward to hug Xu Buling. She staggered under the weight of her heavy body, but because of her experience last time, she was able to hold Xu Buling on.

Mrs. Lu held Xu Buling's arm and patted his chest twice angrily:

"Why did you drink so much? It's really..."

The maids also ran in hurriedly, but they didn't know how to help.

Xu Bu Ling's drunken breath blew on Mrs. Lu's cheek: "Well... I drank too much..."

In front of the public, Mrs. Lu didn't feel anything at all. Just like an elder supporting a younger one, she softly lectured:

"Stand up straight, in public..."

It's a pity that these words obviously can't wake up the person who is pretending to be drunk. Xu Bu Ling looked confused and just leaned against Mrs. Lu with half-closed eyes like a puddle of mud, pretending to be dead.

The Queen Mother also walked into the hall at this time. She looked up and saw the huge splash-ink peonies on the wall, and her eyes clearly flashed with surprise. Even Mrs. Lu didn't pay attention. She walked quickly to the wall and looked at it carefully with her mouth open. Her eyes were even more shocking than Mrs. Lu's.

Splash-ink paintings are not uncommon in the market. In terms of quality, Xu Buling's painting is definitely not as accomplished as the painting sage Xu Danqing, but which of the following sentences, "Only peonies are the true national color, when the flowers bloom, move the capital", It can be said to be the finishing touch. When the two are combined, the artistic conception is elevated to countless levels. The Queen Mother observed it for a long time, but she couldn't find any words to comment on it.

"This...this..."

Mrs. Lu's heart was focused on Xu Buling, and then she looked at the peonies on the wall again. She pursed her lips and looked at them for a moment, then said softly:

"Ling'er, did you draw this?"

Xu Bu Ling was about to cry but had no tears. He said a faint 'hmm' and laughed again.

Mrs. Lu's eyes clearly showed a bit of pride. She supported Xu Buling and looked up. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. She was just a little bit curious as to why Xu Buling painted such a painting in the Queen Mother's Palace. Just as he was about to ask, the dumbfounded Queen Mother next to her spoke first.

"No, is this a painting for me?"

The Queen Mother curled her hands on her chest and carefully looked at the splash-ink peonies on the wall from top to bottom, as if there was a flash of light in her eyes.

Mrs. Lu's face froze, and the emotion she just felt was gone. With a bit of suspicion, she turned her eyes to Xu Buling again.

Is it possible...

Xu Buling chuckled and said nothing.

Mrs. Lu took a breath, this was obviously a painting for her. Ling'er said last time that she would paint a painting for her...

Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu looked at the Queen Mother coldly:

"Your Majesty, you think too much. Your child painted this for me."

The voice was neither salty nor bland, with a hint of sarcasm.

The Queen Mother's agitated mood froze slightly, and she frowned slightly. She really likes this painting. She has been interested in these things since she was a child. She is somewhat polite out of courtesy and comes to the door to snatch her things. Do you think she is really easy to bully?

The Queen Mother looked away from the painting, turned her head to look at Mrs. Lu, snorted lightly, raised her finger and pointed at the wall:

"Really? Then take the painting back."

Ru Xing's eyes were a bit mocking and contemptuous, as if she was looking at a fool.

Mrs. Lu's eyebrows frowned, and her expression suddenly darkened.

The painting is on the wall, how can she take it back?

In the empty hall, there was a sudden chill, as if it was a cold winter day again.

The palace maid outside remained silent, cautiously lowered her head, moved her steps, and hid aside.

Mrs. Lu's chest was heaving, and the annoyance was obvious in her eyes. Thinking of the rouge box and snack box just now, she always felt that something was wrong...

Mrs. Lu was silent for a moment, then suddenly came back to her senses, her expression was full of disbelief, and she raised her hand and patted Xu Buling's clothes twice:

"Ling'er? Ling'er? Did you paint this painting for me?"

Xu Buling felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar and felt that he could not die. He obviously did not dare to answer this question.

Speaking of painting it for Mrs. Lu, today's efforts would be in vain, let alone make the Queen Mother roll her eyes. It would be polite for the Queen Mother not to let him rebuild the side hall.

As for the painting for the Queen Mother...

Seeing Mrs. Lu's aggrieved and sad eyes, Xu Buling's bones were really weak. Even though his life was in danger due to the Dragon Lock Gu, he couldn't say such hurtful words. With Mrs. Lu's temperament, if she tears a hole in her heart, she may not be able to heal it in her lifetime.

Xu Buling didn't hesitate at all, he chuckled, closed his eyes and leaned on Mrs. Lu's shoulder.

Keep playing dead!

Mrs. Lu was angry and annoyed. Seeing the Queen Mother folding her arms and showing a playful smile, she could only raise her hand and wave it a few times:

"Ling'er, please speak clearly to save the Queen Mother from misunderstanding... Ling'er..."

"Hehe...I drank too much..."

"You-you are talking..."

The Queen Mother stood nearby, knowing in her heart that this painting must be for her. Xu Buring didn't dare to speak, so she pretended to be dumbfounded. Seeing Mrs. Lu chattering endlessly, the Queen Mother also lost her sarcastic thoughts and walked up to persuade:

"Hong Luan, forget it, your son is drunk, you can send him back to rest."

Mrs. Lu was obviously a little angry when she saw Xu Buling drunkenly unconscious and ignoring her, but she couldn't lose her composure in front of the Queen Mother. She could only look at the wall reluctantly and helped Xu Buling out. The voice is cold:

"Your Majesty, your daughter was drunk and messing around today and stained the walls of the house. I will ask someone to come over and clean it up later."

The meaning is obviously ‘I can’t get it, and you don’t want it either! ’

Unfortunately, this place is the territory of the Queen Mother, and Mrs. Lu is not allowed to make the decision.

The Queen Mother crossed her arms and looked like she didn't mind: "It doesn't matter, she's quite beautiful. I'm not a foolish woman who doesn't know how to write. How could I do anything like burning harps and boiling cranes?"

Although he has been very restrained, he still carries a knife with every sentence and kills his heart with every word.

"you--"

Being insinuatedly compared to a 'foolish woman who burns harps and cooks cranes', Mrs. Lu's face turned livid, but she had no reason to scold him back, so she had no choice but to support Xu Buling and walk out of the door with heavy steps.

The Queen Mother watched the two men staggering away, turned around and walked back to the portrait, raising her eyes to carefully look at the huge peonies on the wall. A red dress is extremely eye-catching in the cold palace, as if it embellishes the dark peonies with moving colors.

Qiao'e and several palace maids cautiously walked up to the palace and watched it with the Queen Mother.

"So beautiful..."

"It's so big..."

The Queen Mother seemed not to hear the words around her, with a certain luster in her eyes. She raised her hand to touch her lips, feeling a little distracted.

Qiao'e took a few glances and felt that something was wrong with the Queen Mother today. It seemed that...it seemed that in just one morning, all the worries in the palace for the past ten years had been wiped away, and she had returned to the little daughter she was when she was married...

Qiao'e hesitated for a moment and then reminded:

"Queen Mother, what should I do with this painting?"

The Queen Mother came back to her senses, turned her head to look in the direction Xu Buling left, and shook her head:

"Keep it... don't let the palace know, and lock the door in the future..."

"oh……"
