The night is falling.

The nobles in the palace had already had dinner and returned to the palace to rest, the red lights were lit in the palace, and the crisp birdsong in the day was extinguished at this moment, and the whole palace fell into a solemn silence.

The wind blows gently, bringing a burst of lotus fragrance and a soothing coolness.

It's probably the most comfortable time of the day.

The Queen Mother's Bedroom.

The Queen Mother sat on the couch, her eyes slightly closed, the Buddhist beads in her hand were gently twisted, and the table was lit up with moonlight beads, emitting a soft light, not dazzling, but enough to see the surrounding furnishings.

The Queen Mother lightly clasped the table with her left hand, "Hao'er... ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, it's been a while. I didn't eat dinner, isn't this prince in any hurry, why did he wait so long? When the old lady saw the queen mother asking, she knew that the queen mother's Buddhist scriptures had been recited, so she stepped forward to give the queen mother a pinch on her shoulder and replied.

"Hao'er, this child, I have carried it since I was a child, so I have such a heart. But there are still some frizzy and frizzy, and those who become big things can't afford to wait. Just let him wait a little longer, so that he can polish his temperament. ”

"That's what the Queen Mother said. Do you want the old slave to call him in now? ”

"What are you doing in here?" The Queen Mother lightly stayed on the old lady for a moment, "Hao'er, what benefits did this give you, why did you even help him speak?" ”

"The old slave knows his mistake!" The old lady immediately knelt on the ground, "The prince is really good at talking, and the old slave saw that he was so sincere, so he couldn't help but say a few words for him, and asked the queen mother to forgive him." ”

"Get up." The Queen Mother gently picked up the teacup and sniffed it, but did not drink it.

"What does it look like to kneel around all the time."

The old lady responded, standing behind the Queen Mother and pinching her shoulders, but her expression was obviously a lot more relaxed.

"Let me ask you, who made this tea today?"

The Queen Mother asked casually, but the old grandmother's neck shrank again.

"This is also the prince spent a lot of time to brew, it is said that it is sent to find longevity tea, drinking this tea, not only can make people live longer, it is said that it also has the effect of treating old diseases and improving spiritual magic."

"Hehe, this is just the world's false rumors, how can there be such a miraculous thing, drink it and have that effect? If that's the case, this Tianluo Continent should really be everywhere, how can it be so rare. Although the Queen Mother said this, her expression was obviously much better.

"That is, Hao'er believes this, this kind of thing, it's just to fool everyone in the name of rare things."

The old lady was relieved to see that the Queen Mother's expression was much better.

"In half an hour, invite Hao'er in."

"Yes." The old lady answered, and began to chat with the queen mother with no match, talking about strange things in the market, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

"The mourning family is old, and it is useless, otherwise I really want to go to all parts of the continent." The Queen Mother sighed and gently rubbed her temples, as if she was really old.

The old lady hurriedly picked up her hand from her shoulder and put it on the temple of the Queen Mother, and gently pressed it, but she thought in her heart, if the Queen Mother was called Lao, a really old person, she would have already been buried in the ground...

What's more, in this world, there is no such thing as 'old', as long as you have the strength, it is not difficult to stay young forever.

"Where is the Queen Mother, if she is not more calm and wise than those young people, from this perspective alone, even those young people can't reach it."

"You. In this way, isn't the mourning family an old goblin? The Queen Mother said, but she couldn't help laughing.

"In the end, it's old, this body is not as good as when I was young."

"Didn't the prince give the queen mother a high price for the pill from the auction house in the first few days? is just thinking about the prince, the queen mother, it will not be a problem to live for a few hundred years! ”

"Look at you, you've really become the prince's lobbyist." There was no annoyance in the Queen Mother's tone, but rather a taste of relief.

"Well, let's invite him in." The Queen Mother paused, "Lead the girl and the mother-in-law down, and the moonlight beads will also be withdrawn, you know the rules, don't let the mourning family say more." ”

"Yes." The old lady stopped what she was doing, beckoned to the maids and ladies who were waiting, and soon came up together to move the moonlight bead lightly, and then stepped back lightly, closing the door gently.

The Queen Mother sat in the dark, and her eyes were particularly bright.

Concubine.

"Prince, the Queen Mother invites you over."

"Thank you Mama, this is a beauty pill, the grade is not high, it is not a respect, please don't refuse."

The prince gently stuffed a small bottle into Mama's hand, and Mama pushed it, and then carefully put the thing into the purse.

"The prince should hurry up, don't make the queen mother wait for a long time."

The prince walked out of the side room, wandered a few steps in front of the queen mother's room, put his hand on the door and was about to knock, but a voice came from inside:

"When did you hesitate to learn so politely."

The voice was clear and cold, as if it had been brewing from the heavy snow in the cold of September, not like a breeze, but like a heavy hammer, striking on the heart.

Rao is crown prince, and he couldn't help but feel excited, obviously, for this voice, there is a fear in his bones, and even, some resistance・・・・・

But remembering his intention today, the prince gritted his teeth and finally pushed the door open.

After entering, a pair of swarthy eyes came into view, staring at him in the dark, as if they were looking at prey.

The dark eyes seemed to shine exceptionally in the darkness, and the prince wanted to escape from those eyes, but found that he could not escape at all.

Finally, he bit his lip fiercely before he was freed from the confinement, and the prince hurriedly lowered his head and bowed to the black eyes, "Grandson has seen the imperial grandmother!" ”

The black eyes looked fixedly at the white shadow kneeling on the ground, and did not speak for a while.

It wasn't until the cold sweat on the prince's forehead hit the ground one by one, making the darkness seem less quiet, that a cool voice spoke leisurely.

"Flat."

The prince trembled and got up from the ground, and stood aside, hanging his head, not daring to look up again.

"You have a heart. Do you want to eat at Grandma's place? ”

The queen mother's voice softened slightly, but the crown prince shook his head vigorously.

"Thank you for your concern, my grandson is not hungry."

It can be seen that the prince has been with the Queen Mother for all these years, and what he has experienced and known.

What's more, he was afraid of every word the Queen Mother said.

It seems that behind every question, there is a deep meaning.

"Anyway, why are you here this time?"

The prince breathed a sigh of relief, and finally got to the point. (To be continued.) )
