The Queen Mother walked through the corridors and left the sparsely populated Changle Palace. The Queen Mother leaned on the chariot, supporting her chin with her hand, showing a bit of laziness. From a distance, she saw Mrs. Lu standing at the palace gate.

To the Queen Mother's surprise, she thought that Mrs. Lu would look sour and angry when she saw her, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Lu had also dressed up carefully today.

Wearing a light blue water cloud dress, with a gauze shawl draped over her arms, and her hands folded on her waist, her slim figure actually has the freshness of a girl who has not yet left the pavilion. Her makeup was neither too heavy nor too light, her red lips were eye-catching, white jade pendants hung in her ears, and her hair was tied in a bun with hanging clouds. Even the hairpin that the Lu family hired from a famous Jiangnan master to customize when they got married was put on.

The workmanship and cost of the gold-inlaid jade flower-tailed hairpin is no worse than that of the Queen Mother's phoenix crown. It is regarded as a betrothal gift for the marriage of Xiao and Lu. It is the only one in the world. In the past, the Queen Mother even wanted to take a look at it. It is regarded as the lifeblood of Mrs. Lu. , even if I take a look at it, I'm afraid it will be damaged. This is the first time I have worn it in so many years. There were still several disciples of the Xiao family standing outside the palace. It seemed they were worried that the hairpin would be snatched away by a bold thief.

The carriage stopped inside the palace gate. The Queen Mother was a little confused. Looking at Mrs. Lu who was standing upright, even breathing as evenly as possible, she said jokingly:

"Hongluan, you are dressed so grandly, are you planning to remarry? I can't make the decision in this matter. I have to go to Mr. Xiao and Mr. Lu."

"spit-"

Mrs. Lu got angry when she heard these inappropriate words, but today she had something important to do and she couldn't get angry and ruin her makeup, so her expression didn't change and she said calmly:

"If I have anything to do, please come to see the Queen Mother. Please also ask the Queen Mother to accompany me out of the palace."

"Where are you going? I am busy with all kinds of official duties, and I have no interest in going out for a walk with you."

The Queen Mother was leaning on the carved chariot with no intention of getting up. At this time, she walked in and took a closer look, only to find that Mrs. Lu was really a bit more gorgeous today. Not only was her temperament and makeup impeccable, but even the skirt on her body was not flawless. flaw. Yue Nu was still watching carefully, fearing that the dress she had finally put together would have any wrinkles and would have to be reworked.

Mrs. Lu tried her best to control her emotions, and did not mention the anger she had suffered in the past few days. She walked up to him and said softly: "Xu Danqing returned to Chang'an. I inquired for a few days and found out that he lived in Songjijiu's house. You know Xu Danqing and asked him to paint a picture for me..."

"puff--"

Before she finished speaking, the Queen Mother laughed so hard that she covered her lips with her red sleeves and looked up and down with a hint of teasing: "Hongluan, Hongluan, you are already married, you are about the same age as me, and you still want to be with me when you are young. Are you ashamed to fight for the eight beauties of Zhaohong?"

Mrs. Lu's mature cheeks were a little red, and she pursed her lips in annoyance, but she couldn't open her mouth to refute. Naturally, she wouldn't want to compete with a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old girl for fame, and she wouldn't have any use for it. But a few days ago, the Queen Mother gave Xu Danqing's paintings to Xu Buling. Xu Buling obviously liked them very much and hid them under the bed. She has nothing to give, and she has not said this yet. Xu Danqing finally showed up, how could he let go of this God-given opportunity.

Mrs. Lu hesitated for a moment and hummed: "When I met Xu Danqing, I was too young to paint... Anyway, I want a painting. It doesn't matter whether I have a reputation or not. The Queen Mother will take me there."

The Queen Mother held her chin with her hand and raised her eyebrows: "Why should I agree to you? Huh~?"

This is deliberately stirring up trouble.

Mrs. Lu glared at the Queen Mother for a few times, thought for a while, and said coldly: "The Queen Mother stays in the palace all day, aren't you afraid of getting sick? I'll go out with you to relax, what's the matter?"

The Queen Mother sneered, knowing that what Mrs. Lu was thinking about was Xuan and Ba Kui's affairs, she looked like it was none of her business and turned her head to look at the clouds in the sky.

Mrs. Lu took a breath, thought carefully, and took a rare step back: "The Queen Mother will accompany me, and I will return the painting to the Queen Mother."

"I don't have the shame to take back the things you sent out." The Queen Mother didn't care, and thought for a moment: "How about this? In the future, Xu Buling..."

"no."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Lu became serious and had a straight face. The last time Xu Buling came to the palace, he tricked her and gave her things, and he even left the peonies for her in the palace. She was so angry that she woke up from sleep these days. She was being polite when she didn't come to quarrel with the Queen Mother. , how can we allow Xu Buling to enter the palace again? What if after some time, she really changes her tune and calls the Queen Mother her aunt?

Mrs. Lu looked like there was no need for discussion, and snorted lightly: "The palace is such an important place, how can men often enter it? The Queen Mother should pay attention to her status."

The Queen Mother was not surprised by Mrs. Lu's reaction, and she acted like she had not discussed it with you: "Ting'er and Ling'er are all juniors of this palace. Why not let them come and visit me from time to time? I and Ling'er You said it because of our old friendship. If you don't agree, he will still come if I ask him to come. "

Mrs. Lu narrowed her eyes slightly: "If I don't let your son come over, he will definitely not come over. He listens to me the most."

The Queen Mother sighed: "Hong Luan, it's not me who is telling you. Your Majesty must obey your advice. If you are so ignorant, even the most obedient people will be disgusted with you sooner or later. When the time comes, tsk tsk tsk... he will call you aunt." , you are her aunt, if he doesn't scream, you have nothing to do with it, alas~..."

These words touched Mrs. Lu's heart. This was what she was most worried about. She pursed her lips and wanted to retort: ​​"How could you bother me?" But after thinking about it for a while, she endured it and just said calmly:

"Your child has his own opinion. He wants to enter the palace and be filial to the Queen Mother. I will not interfere... Hurry up."

The Queen Mother raised her thin eyebrows, then stood up contentedly, walked gracefully to the outside of the palace gate, and stretched out her arms.

Mrs. Lu looked disgusted, but she had to bow her head to ask for help. After thinking for a while, she held the Queen Mother's arm and walked towards the carriage without sincerity:

"If Xu Danqing doesn't paint, the Queen Mother will threaten him. If he dares not agree, hum..."

The Queen Mother looked embarrassed: "How can this be done? He is a famous talent. If I force him to paint, what will happen if it gets out..."

Mrs. Lu narrowed her eyes slightly, with a bit of sarcasm: "This is not the first time you have done this. When Xu Danqing went to paint Miss Xiao Er, you persuaded him to change it to paint you..."

The Queen Mother paused and turned to walk back.

"Hey...!" Mrs. Lu was angry and gritted her teeth. She had to stop talking and pointed at the carriage: "Queen Mother, please!"

"That's better..."

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction and was helped into the carriage. The two of them, accompanied by a group of palace maids, headed towards Zhuji Street...
