The prince is very fierce

Chapter 49: Tired of combing at night

There was a boat parade by the Qujiang Pool, and the procession of official ladies wandered around the beautiful lakeside for a long time. Time gradually passed noon, and it was time to return to the city.

The Queen Mother stayed alone in the palace for ten years. Due to her status, she could not be seen in public. She was not prestigious enough and could not listen to politics from behind the curtain like those powerful Queen Mothers in history. Even though she enjoyed the ultimate dignity and splendor in the world, she was just a poor person who stayed alone in her empty boudoir. .

After finally going out for a walk, the Queen Mother was a little reluctant to go back. Instead of boarding the royal chariot, she walked to Chang'an City with her nephew Xiao Ting, talking about family gossip along the way.

Everyone needs to communicate, just like Mrs. Lu, who does not have a son or a half, so she cherishes having a nephew by her side to tell the truth.

The Queen Mother also has no children. As Xiao Chuyang's sister, she almost regards Xiao Ting as her own son. It's a pity that Xiao Ting has no experience in Xu Buling's reincarnation. He is just a bratty kid of 17 or 18, and his brain circuit is not very normal. Not to mention caring, thank God for not making the Queen Mother angry to death.

On the stone path among the bamboo forest, the Queen Mother was walking slowly and dignifiedly in a gorgeous palace dress. A group of ladies from the official family could not leave the Queen Mother behind, and they all followed behind. Zhang Xiang was walking ten steps away from the Queen Mother with his sword on his waist, and the wolf guards were stationed five steps apart. There was no chance of assassination in the surrounding area, and even hidden arrows were impossible to shoot.

Xiao Ting was swinging his jade-shaped fan in the winter, walking leisurely beside the Queen Mother. He looked quite handsome, but his expression was a bit unflattering:

"Auntie, my nephew and I have a different status in the world now. After I went to the Imperial Academy, all the masters and gentlemen were smiling. The imperial students even gave me a thumbs up and called me 'Master Xiao' when they saw me. Especially the Prince of Shu, who used to be You’re laughing at me, I’m talking politely now…”

In just one sentence, the four words "satisfied and contented" are vividly displayed.

The Queen Mother could not scold Xiao Ting in front of outsiders, so she could only give her a faint glance: "If you do business, the master will naturally appreciate you. The men of the Xiao family in my generation have always been 'sword-wearing, go to the palace, enter the court without following, and praise and worship without fame'" It’s normal, you’re so complacent now, why don’t you wait until you reach your father’s position and ascend in the daytime?”

Xiao Ting chuckled: "I don't dare to think about it, I don't dare to think about it... Well, they praised me, and I said it was my aunt who taught me well..."

Finally, he said something humanly.

The Queen Mother hummed softly. As she walked slowly, she thought of the observation deck just now. She looked back at Xu Buling, who was chatting and laughing with Mrs. Lu in the queue behind her:

"By the way, I heard that a good poem was produced at the Dragon Poetry Conference a few days ago?"

Xiao Ting's eyes lit up, he closed his folding fan and clapped his hands: "Oh~ so my aunt has heard about this? That's right, for the Dragon Poetry Recital, I spent three days and three nights thinking hard and preparing, and wrote a song "I Prime Minister's father"..."

The Queen Mother said with a bit of helplessness: "It's a masterpiece. How many jins and taels do you have? You don't know?"

Xiao Ting's face froze, he shut up angrily, thought carefully for a while, and then said seriously:

"That day at the Dragon Poetry Conference, there was a lot of unsightly dross, but after panning for gold in the sand, there was indeed a poem that stood out. Hmm... The agarwood flowers in the wind have all gone, and I am tired of combing them away day and night..."

"Comb your hair! What are you combing, you...get out of here!"

The Queen Mother's face suddenly darkened, and those beautiful eyes seemed to want to kill someone.

"Shu Lun" is the name for a brothel girl to receive a customer for the first time. When the Queen Mother heard this, she was naturally very angry.

Even Zhang Xiang, the always serious and cold commander, coughed slightly and looked away, pretending that he didn't hear anything.

Xiao Ting covered his mouth with a fan and said coquettishly: "That's all right... No, it's all those playboys like the Imperial College who made me remember it... Auntie, do you know who wrote this poem?"

The Queen Mother frowned and her eyes widened. After enduring it for a long time, she finally did not scold and said coldly:

"Written by Xu Bu Ling?"

"No!"

Xiao Ting looked back with a proud look for a few times, and then whispered: "Dragon Poetry Club, I asked Xu Buling if he also bought poems, and he admitted it. I laughed at him, and he even beat me in anger..."

The Queen Mother was actually very confused and did not believe that this poem was written by Xu Buling, who had "developed limbs and a simple mind" since childhood. After hearing Xiao Ting's words, she was dubious:

"Are you sure Xu Buling isn't lying to you?"

Xiao Ting blinked and was a little dissatisfied: "I'm so smart, how could that barbarian Xu Buling deceive me?"

"..."

The Queen Mother pursed her red lips lightly, hesitated to speak, and finally nodded and stopped talking.

Xiao Ting kept chattering beside him, which was considered to relieve the boredom of the elders.

After walking on the stone path for a while, we gradually arrived at a place where the bamboo forest is relatively dense. The bamboos are evergreen all year round, and there is a thin layer of snow hanging on the bamboo leaves. It is as quiet as an ink painting.

Just when the Queen Mother and Xiao Ting were chatting about their daily life, a soft "click" sound suddenly came from the quiet bamboo forest, as if the dry bamboo had been stepped on and cracked. The sound was inaudible and very far away.

The Queen Mother and Xiao Ting didn't feel the inaudible movement at all. Zhang Xiang, however, had already placed his hand on the Yan Ling Dao and stopped on the stone road. The dozen or so wolf guards around him all turned their heads and looked at the source of the sound.

The bamboo forest is so deep that you can't see what's going on inside.

The Queen Mother noticed something was wrong from the wolf guard's reaction, looked around blankly, and asked:

"Zhang Xiang, what's wrong?"

Zhang Xiang looked respectful and raised his hand to salute: "There is a small beast in the forest. In order to prevent disturbing the Queen Mother, I would like to ask the Queen Mother to move back to the palace. I humbly go and have a look."

The Queen Mother was also a little tired of shopping. She nodded slightly and the wolf guard carried the chariot over.

When Xiao Ting heard that there was a little beast, he became interested. He followed Zhang Xiang with a fan and said, "Auntie, let me go over and take a look."

The Queen Mother knew Zhang Xiang's martial arts, not to mention small beasts, even the Nian beast had to lie down when it came, so naturally she didn't worry and left with the palace maid.

At the rear of the team, Xu Buling was walking among a group of charming ladies. There were beaded and jade-like mountains and hills in front and behind him. It was not polite to look at anything. The key was that those young ladies and princesses of cardamom age deliberately moved towards him. There were not many people who took the opportunity to strike up a conversation. Due to the rules, he couldn't be too cold, and he was already a little overwhelmed.

Seeing movement in the bamboo forest, Xu Buling took advantage of the situation and said:

"Aunt Lu, I'll go over there and take a look."

Mrs. Lu, who was walking beside her, looked up and saw Zhang Xiang and Xiao Ting walking into the bamboo forest. She knew something might be strange and frowned:

"Don't go there..."

Xu Buling blinked, looking like he wanted to go out to play but had no choice.

Mrs. Lu finally felt distressed and shook her head: "That's all, be careful. I'll wait for you at the intersection. Don't play too long."

Xu Bu Ling nodded lightly, took the reins of the horse from Yue Nu, then left the team and walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest...
