The prince is very fierce

In the early summer, the breeze was gentle. On the small street of Fairy Bridge, strings of lanterns were hung on both sides of the street. Talented men and beautiful women were strolling on the street. The hawkers' cries were heard one after another, but it was not noisy. Instead, it added a bit of human fireworks to the beautiful streets.

After the long team entered Chang'an City, the wives of the princes and princes dispersed one after another. Mrs. Lu got off the carriage halfway and left Xu Buling to the queen mother generously. She returned to Kuishou Street on the carriage. When they arrived near Fairy Bridge, only the queen mother's ceremonial team was left.

Xu Buling rode on the wind-chasing horse and walked on the side of the carriage. He looked straight ahead and his back was straight, looking like a loyal guard. When he arrived at the place, he coughed lightly.

"Ahem—"

Inside the carriage, the Queen Mother was still hesitating. She heard the voice and was silent for a while. Then she opened the window, looked at the beautiful street, and raised her hand:

"Qiao'e, the scenery here is nice. Let the people from the Ministry of Rites disperse. I will take a look here."

The maid Qiao'e knew that the Queen Mother was bored recently, so she naturally didn't say anything. She went over and said something to the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and then asked the Queen Mother's carriage and guards to stop.

Because it was not the first time, Qiao'e glanced at Xu Buling who was sitting on the horse with his eyes straight ahead, hesitated for a while, and walked to the window:

"Do you want the Queen Mother to get off and walk? With the little prince here, no one will disturb the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother 'considered' it, nodded lightly, raised her hand to let Qiao'e get on the carriage, and then there was rustling.

After a while, the Queen Mother got off the carriage, asked the guards to wait, and walked to the street on her own.

Xu Buling dismounted, holding a sword and walking behind the Queen Mother. His figure was not strange at all. He did not whisper until he was far away from the guards and palace maids:

"Baby."

"Shut up."

The Queen Mother's face flushed slightly, then turned cold. She walked in front with a dignified posture, looked back quietly, and after making sure that the guards could not hear, she said coldly:

"I just came out to relax. If you dare to be presumptuous, hum..."

Xu Buling smiled at the corners of his mouth, moved a little closer, and said softly:

"I just accompanied the Queen Mother to relax."

The Queen Mother said "hmm~" lightly, strolled leisurely on the small street, and looked at the various beautiful scenery around. But for some reason, she didn't have the feeling of dreaming at midnight last time. Maybe her mind was not on the scenery at all.

Passing by the stall that sold candied haws last time, Xu Buling walked up to it, picked up a bright red candied haws, and handed it to the queen mother:

"The queen mother sacrificed herself to detoxify me, I have always remembered it in my heart, and said that I would repay you with the rest of my life..."

"Don't say that..."

The queen mother looked at the candied haws in front of her, pursed her lips, raised her hand to take it, held it in her hand but didn't eat it, just said calmly:

"I saved you for the safety of the people of the whole world. As long as you can remember what you promised me and keep the world in your heart, I don't need you to repay anything... Remember to burn incense for me in the future."

I don't know why I said the last sentence, but it was said.

The queen mother lowered her head and secretly looked at the candied haws in her hand. Her expression was calm and it was hard to tell what she was thinking. 58 Reading

Xu Buling smiled softly, walked in front, blocked the eyes of most passers-by with his body, and said softly:

"Repaying is still necessary, actually...actually, the Queen Mother does not need to put life and death aside..."

"Shut up."

The Queen Mother's face darkened, with a bit of annoyance in her eyes: "Don't say these things, I am the Queen Mother, and if I don't die with you...how can I be worthy of the ancestors of the Xiao family and the people of the world? Do you want me to be infamous for thousands of years with the reputation of "The Queen of Lewdness"? "

Xu Buling sighed softly, knowing that the barrier in the Queen Mother's heart was almost unshakable, and immediately gave up the idea of ​​persuading her:

"It will take another eighty times to detoxify, um...these days, the Queen Mother has been talking about those things Forget it. When a person walks in the world, he must live his life in his own way. Other things, leave it for the detoxification. "

The Queen Mother blinked her eyes. Maybe she was awakened by this sentence, or she found an excuse to calm her mood. Her eyes moved slightly and she looked down at the candied haws in her hand:

"It's easy to say..."

"Give it a try. Anyway, no outsiders will know. Ten years in the deep palace, the best youth has been wasted. Living for yourself for a while, God won't say anything."

"..."

The Queen Mother hesitated for a long time. It's already like this. Living with a burden in your heart is living, forgetting those things for the time being is also living. Anyway, everyone will die, and living for yourself will not change anything.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother calmly put the candied haws to her mouth, bit off one, chewed it slowly, and looked at the scenery on the street.

Although it was just an idea, the Queen Mother seemed to have become a different person, forgetting her identity and shackles, strolling leisurely in the garden, blending with the painting of the beauty, and the spirit of the past waiting to be married emerged again, as if she had returned to the age of cardamom. Perhaps this woman at this moment is the real Xiao Xianger.

Xu Buling's eyes stayed on the face that was full of spirit, but much more beautiful than the painting. After a moment of silence, he said softly:

"Baby?"

The Queen Mother blinked her eyes, and this time she didn't curse, but put her hands behind her back, shaking the candied haws:

"I'm not a little girl, what baby...Xu Buling, I find you a little conscienceless."

Xu Buling blinked his eyes: "What's wrong?"

The Queen Mother gave a sideways glance: "The first time I invited you to the palace, I gave you the picture of a beautiful woman that I had collected for ten years. You wrote a few poems, a few boxes of rouge, and a few bunches of candied haws and then sent me away. , Don’t you think this courtesy exchange is a bit unfair?”

Xu Buling shook his head and chuckled: "I thought you didn't care."

The Queen Mother snorted lightly: "I don't care about you at all, but I care about Hongluan. She is always angry with me. You also became a 'beauty' a few days ago, and you even got Xu Danqing's 'Beauty Picture'. I was just thinking about it. , you will definitely give me the painting as soon as possible. I was also thinking about how to use the painting to piss off Hongluan. Ha~ The result was good. Hongluan came to the door the next day, holding your portrait in his hand. He said he wanted to watch and learn from me..."

Xu Buling looked stiff and smiled softly: "Aunt Lu has always been like this. She treats the Queen Mother as a sister, and others don't pay attention to her."

The Queen Mother nodded to this: "That's true, but I'm still angry. Find Xu Danqing's original work and burn it to me when the time comes. I'll wait on the Naihe Bridge. Hong Luan will come down a hundred years later. There’s no need to worry about etiquette and rules. I’ll tell her everything that’s going on now. I think she still treats you like a baby..."

"Uh... Then I guess I won't be able to be reborn..."

"Hmph~... It's good to know... I can't wait..."
