Chapter Seventy-Eight: If I don't have a king, how can I spend the rest of my life?

Behind the Xiao family's mansion on the same street, the courtyard of Jinghuayuan was shrouded in a foggy rain curtain, and several lanterns hung on the water pavilion by the lake.

Before the lights went out, Mrs. Lu leaned on the soft couch in the boudoir, holding the spring robe made for Xu Buling in her hand, and the needlework outlined the fine and dense patterns.

There was nothing to do in the rain, and the maid gathered around to help, chattering on her lips:

"Madam, the Queen Mother has sent another post to invite the little prince into the palace......"

"Yes, I heard the palace maid from the palace procurement say that the queen mother is weird these days, she is always in a daze, in order for the little prince to enter the palace tomorrow, she will start preparing meals today, but it is grand......"

"The little prince seems to have gone out today......"

Chirping, a few maids seemed to report their work, talking about the news they had inquired about.

Mrs. Lu sat sideways on the soft couch holding a needle and thread, her expression was dignified and quiet, as if she didn't care, but she sighed faintly after a short time, turned around and continued to embroider in a different direction, and she didn't know how many times she went back and forth like this.

Yue Nu sat on the blanket next to Mrs. Lu's lap and gave Xu Buling the soles of his shoes, he has accompanied Mrs. Lu since he was a child, and he knows Mrs. Lu's character. Smile at the moment:

"The little prince has a steady temperament, he won't go out to mess with flowers and grass, and a few days ago he said that he was interested in Miss Song, you see now, the prince doesn't even go to the country."

When Mrs. Lu heard this, her heart was warm, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was wrong, and said softly:

"Yue Nu, will Ling'er think that I, the aunt, are pointing fingers, so I draw a line with Miss Song? …… How can this be done, then I will not become an elder who does not know what to do......"

“……”

The moon slave pursed her lips and smiled, not knowing how to answer.

Mrs. Lu embroidered flowers for a while, feeling a little unable to sit still, put down the needle and thread, obviously wanting to find Xu Buling to make it clear.

The moon slave was quite helpless, so she had to persuade her: "Madame thinks too much, the little prince will listen to Madame for everything after coming to Chang'an, if there is a favorite girl, she will definitely bring it to Madame first, Madame will not stop him, and the little prince must know this truth." ”

Mrs. Lu pursed her lips and sighed lightly: "There is always a time when people grow up, but he has become more and more disobedient recently, and he said that he would not go to the palace, but he ran to the palace twice in three days, and he didn't know what was interesting in the palace...... I'm afraid that in a few days, I will have to change my name to call the Queen Mother Aunt......"

Yue Nu smiled gently: "How is it possible, the little prince's heart for his wife, we all look at it as maids, who does not envy Mrs. on Kuishou Street, the queen mother must also be jealous of the lady so she often calls the little prince into the palace, the little prince is gracious, and it is difficult to refuse, if you don't agree, you can'......"

Mrs. Lu was silent with the embroidery needle: "The Queen Mother has always been this temper, scrambling to and fro, and fighting with everyone......"

A little maid next to her pondered for a moment, and smiled at her bad idea: "Madam, why don't you go to the palace tomorrow, and you will follow over to take a look?" ”

Mrs. Lu's eyes lit up, but she immediately shook her head: "Forget it, Ling'er has her own opinions, and I will follow what I say." ”

"Eh~ Mrs. is going to visit the Queen Mother, not with the little prince......"

"That's right, the Xiao family will make some messy things, and the queen mother doesn't know what method she will use to please the little prince, after all, the little prince is young and not deeply involved in the world, what if he gets on the road and is not close to his wife in the future......"

Muttering.

Mrs. Lu's mind was full of Xu Buling, and naturally the more she listened, the more upset she became, and finally she couldn't listen anymore, put her robe aside, and waved her hand:

"Okay, let's go to sleep, I'm in my own way."

"Oh......"

A few maids responded in a huff, got up to pack up their things, and exited the room one after another......

-------

The night rain is continuous, and the green lights are faint.

The sound of raindrops hitting the window rim echoed in my ears, and the boudoir, which was not big or small, was still the same as when I first got married.

Mrs. Lu raised her cheeks and looked at the lights on the stage, thinking about it for a long time, and unconsciously recalled the scene of the past.

At that time, he was twelve or thirteen years old, and he was just sensible.

The most admired Jinlan sister has been married to Suzhou, leaving her alone to look at the green walls and white tiles of the yard every day, looking forward to the day when she can go out, and she has also fantasized about riding horses and swords, and walking the world like that sister.

But she is a scholarly woman, and the rivers and lakes do not belong to her.

The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the age of cardamom.

A sedan chair was parked in front of the door, and she had become a stranger's wife before she thought about her husband and children.

As the concubine of the family's gate valve, she had no choice, and it was impossible for her to escape from marriage, she remembered crying a lot, and then got on the sedan chair aggrievedly and entered the gate of the Xiao family.

Speaking of which, at that time, there were still some expectations for the strange life in the future, after all, her mother taught her since she was a child that women always have to get married.

But she didn't expect that after entering the Xiao family, time seemed to freeze, and there was no trace of brilliance since then.

The husband was seriously ill and couldn't even let outsiders get close, so he moved to this villa just after getting married, and he could only look at the titular husband from the window every day.

That man is the dragon among people, just like the current Ling'er, he is so good that he is impeccable in all aspects.

It's a pity that they didn't even say a few words to each other.

With the white lanterns hanging inside and outside the Xiao family, she was not ready to become a wife, and she became a surviving person in ignorance......

In a flash, it was nearly ten years.

Mrs. Lu listened to the night rain outside the window, looked at the various furnishings that were placed when she got married, and did not come back to her senses for a long time.

I once thought that this life would be like this, and there would be no change in the slightest, until the day when Fanghua Baishou guarded these things alone and died.

But God still played a joke on her, or gave her a surprise.

Just when she was about to become numb to life, her big sister, who used to take care of her, suddenly sent her a child over.

No order!

She had heard this name many times, and she was stupid, arrogant, and murderous...... Anyway, there are no good words, and when I hear it, I am a disobedient and difficult to discipline boy.

But this child is her sister Jinlan, and she has to take it with her no matter what, even if she is beaten and scolded, she has to do her best.

At that time, she had such an idea, and she saw that kid outside Kuishou Street and under the heavy protection of the wolf guard.

The white-clothed Shengxue, the sword eyebrows are like ink, a sword and a wine gourd on his waist, and his delicate peach blossom eyes are better than his daughter's family, but he does not lose the heroic spirit that a man should have.

It wasn't a child, it was a grown man, no worse than any boy in the world.

She remembered that she was stunned, standing under the octagonal archway and like wood, and the moon slave quietly pinched her without reacting.

It was still the tall boy who walked up to her after being introduced, raised his hand and made a junior salute, and said: "Aunt Lu" and a bright smile woke her up......

Since then, the whole world seems to have changed.

Everything that she had never had before, never thought of, was found in that kid who shouldn't have had a relationship with her.

Talking to her, spoiling her all the time on weekdays, and following her when she is unhappy, even if she sometimes deliberately complains and says something unreasonable, it is also a stupid apology, for fear that she will not be satisfied......

She knew that Ling'er was not afraid of her, but she was sensible and accommodating her, wanting her to live happily.

A year passed before she knew it, plain as water as if nothing had happened, but it was more evocative than every day in the past......

Mrs. Lu stood up in the dim light, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and took out the rice paper from under the pillow that she had read many times.

In fact, every late at night when she thinks back to the bits and pieces of the past year, she knows that her aunt is a little sticky, too wide, and even a little unreasonable.

Ling'er has grown up a long time ago, it is natural for a man to have a girl he likes, and it is also natural for him to be in contact with the Queen Mother, she shouldn't point fingers......

But every time she saw Ling'er with other women, she felt sour in her heart, and she was afraid that Ling'er would not be good to her if she was close to others.

Every day when I wake up, I forget everything completely, I just want to know where Ling'er went, what she did, whether she ate, and whether she was close to other women......

After all, there is only one Xu Buling in her current world, and without Xu Buling, there is nothing left......

Rustle Rustle –

The sound of rain surrounds the boudoir of the annex.

Mrs. Lu clutched the paper tightly, leaned over to her nose, and smelled a little ink.

When I was half asleep, I inexplicably remembered the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Since Chinese New Year's Eve, almost every night I think of the scene of that day, the slightly domineering eyes that let her not move.

It turns out that Ling'er is all pretending...... In fact, he is still a stinky man in essence...... It's good that I'm his aunt......

Mrs. Lu was in a daze, as if she was pressed by the bad boy and couldn't move, her face gradually turned red, her breathing was short, and she was slightly dissatisfied with 'woo~', but she couldn't struggle.

"Ling'er...... Don't ......"

In the night rain, there was a whisper.

Mrs. Lu's hands were tightly clutched at the placket of her clothes, her legs under the skirt were tightly stirred together, and her instep arched and rubbed gently on the futon, a bit like resistance, but she forgot that she was the only one in the room......
