Boom –

The thunder was like a sound on the roof of a summer resort.

Because of the loud momentum, the palace maid and the maid were a little scared, so they hid back in the house early.

The raindrops the size of beans smashed on the lake and lotus leaves, and thousands of koi fish disappeared without a trace, leaving only a few stubborn lotus flowers swaying in the wind and rain.

The lights were lit in front of the lakeside window, and the reflection of the familiar and beautiful woman fell into the lake, and was shattered and round by the raindrops.

"Hongluan, what are you looking at?"

A light voice resounded in the large room, where candles burned, and the dim light fell in the corners, and the faint smell of wine wafted through the air.

There are a few small dishes on the small table in front of the soft couch, and the 'Qingyu Brew' that the wealthy lady likes is warmly placed on the table.

The Queen Mother leaned on the soft couch, just bathed in a close-fitting red dress, the white jade wine glass in her hand was pressed to her lips, and her posture was slightly charming and lazy, with a pink and greasy charm.

In front of the round window near the lake, Mrs. Lu stood quietly with her hands folded on her waist, three thousand green silk draped on her back, and she was almost dressed in the hot spring with the Queen Mother, but the small clothes were dark green, tightly clinging to the waist, outlining the curves of the wind and charm, but showing a bit of dignified and steady.

Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Mrs. Lu came back to her senses, and Qingquan's eyes were still staring at the hibiscus view on the mountain in the far distance - lightning flowed among the sea of clouds, as if it was in front of the bamboo forest.

"It's raining so heavily, it seems to be thundering overhead, Ling'er won't be hit by lightning, right?"

"Huh—......"

The Queen Mother squinted slightly, and wanted to take over the sentence "That evil obstacle deserves to be struck by lightning", but this is obviously not something that can be said, but it is so bland that it is: "The sky is 38,000 zhang high, and the mountain is so high that it can't be split." ”

Mrs. Lu was a little relieved, retracted her gaze, and walked back to the soft couch and sat down.

Mrs. Lu went down the mountain today, originally to go back to Chang'an to buy daily items, and it was sunny to go out in the morning, and it began to rain at noon. The government advised them to go to Furong Temple tomorrow, but Mrs. Lu felt that it was not good to leave Xu Buling alone on the mountain, so she went out of the city in the rain after picking up the finished things.

I wanted to go back to the mountain overnight, but unfortunately the weather was not beautiful, the rain not only did not stop, but also became heavier and heavier, and the carriage could no longer see the road clearly when it came to the bottom of the mountain. The mountain road was muddy in the heavy rain, and it was obviously unsafe for the carriage to go up the mountain under the heavy rainstorm, so Mrs. Lu hesitated for a while, so she had to change the route to the summer resort for a temporary stay for one night, and visit the Queen Mother by the way.

Although Mrs. Lu and the Queen Mother are aunts and nieces, they are not much different in age, and they are close friends in the boudoir, so the Queen Mother naturally warmly entertains them. It was raining and they couldn't go out to enjoy it, so the two went to the health pool at the back to soak in a hot spring together, and got drinks and snacks to chat with them to relieve their boredom.

In the past, in Chang'an, in fact, they would often gather like this. But now, it is obviously impossible for the Queen Mother to talk about everything as before.

The candlelight is faint and the wine is pleasant.

The Queen Mother leaned on the soft couch, her eyes kept an eye on the corners of the room, to make sure that nothing that should not appear in the room, and said absent-mindedly:

“…… Ning Yuhe also lives in Furong Temple, that is the first beauty in the world, you haven't been to the sour house recently? ”

Mrs. Lu took a sip of the wine glass, and frowned slightly: "Ning Dao is profound, I know the great truth, and I am not an ignorant fool, how can I be disrespectful to her." ”

The Queen Mother hummed lightly, poured herself a drink, and thought about it: "I heard that there was a martial artist a few days ago, and it is very powerful......

It's obviously just a lack of words.

Mrs. Lu's eyes were slightly suspicious, she swept the lazy Queen Mother, suddenly got a little closer, and after holding back for a long time, she still asked:

"Xiang'er, have you been hiding anything from me lately?"

“……”

The Queen Mother's face froze, she blinked her eyes like apricots, and sat up a little straighter: "This palace ...... What can I hide from you? We have been friends for nearly ten years, and we have nothing to talk about, and if you say this, I will be too careful. ”

Mrs. Lu pursed her lips, leaned on the carved soft couch, and looked the Queen Mother up and down: "We have known each other for ten years, but I know your character very well, you have to fight with me for everything, but you can't see me ......"

"Whoa-" The Queen Mother's eyes widened, and she was a little annoyed: "Who are you talking about?" Who can't see the good of others? ”

Mrs. Lu waved her hand and said seriously, "I don't blame you. You are different from before recently, you always avoid people when you go up the mountain to burn incense, before you did it, you have to walk a few laps up and down the mountain, and Ning Yuhe, with your temperament, you have to talk to her for a few days, but these days, you even hide from me, lock yourself in the door of the house and don't go out of the door, like a young lady who hasn't left the cabinet, you say it's okay, I don't believe it. ”

The Queen Mother's eyes flickered, and she picked up the wine glass and touched it on Mrs. Lu's hand:

"It's fine, drink."

The more she said this, the more suspicious Mrs. Lu became, sipped a little wine, and looked at the face and body of the Queen Mother:

"Also, your complexion has improved a lot recently, your face is more tender than the girls in the fourteenth or fifteen years, and I haven't seen you use any rouge gouache ......"

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows slightly: "What?" Sour? What happened to Hongu's natural beauty? ”

"Cut~" Mrs. Lu was a little disdainful, turned her head to look away, but after holding back for a while, she still couldn't hold back, raised her hand and touched her cheek, and asked casually:

"Xiang'er, you like to study weird things since you were a child, have you figured out some way to keep your face and look good, and secretly hide it and don't tell others? This is not a good habit, the Huainan Xiao clan takes the world as their own responsibility, how can they hide their private ......"

How could the Queen Mother not understand Mrs. Lu's careful thoughts, sipped a little wine, and showed a little disdain: "You are married, and you are not a little girl, and you still think about these things all day long, are you ashamed?" ”

“……”

Mrs. Lu's face was slightly gloomy, she sat up straight and stared at the Queen Mother, trying to make an appearance of not caring: "How could I think about this...... It's just that...... Well...... Etiquette begins with proper dressing and a love of beauty, which is what the saint said. What do you have to keep your face up, it's not right to keep it private, let me ask what's wrong? ”

The Queen Mother actually wondered why her skin was moisturized recently, and she didn't lose sleep at night. With a slight association, it may have something to do with giving Xu Buling detoxification, so he sneered coldly:

"Go to your baby Ling'er, isn't he good at everything, sensible and considerate, much more powerful than Xiao Ting......" 51 is beautiful

Mrs. Lu blinked, thought for a while, and suddenly frowned:

"Xiao Xiang'er, as the saying goes, 'each other is born from the heart', you won't ...... because of Ling'er's schadenfreude."

"Phew—"

The Queen Mother was immediately annoyed and turned her head: "You two have no conscience, what kind of person is this palace?" I forgot that Xu Buling was injured, and I went to take care of him for one night...... But I was so tired that I was busy serving tea and pouring water, and I didn't sleep all night. ”

Mrs. Lu thought about it, and smiled a little apologetically: "Hmm...... The Queen Mother was really tired that night, and after hearing Ling'er, she couldn't stay up in the middle of the night and fell asleep on the side of the bed, and her saliva flowed onto the futon, and he was disgusted and changed the bedding and pillows......"

“？？？”

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, almost broke the placket of her clothes, gritted her teeth for a long time, and brewed swearing.

Mrs. Lu accepted it when she saw it, picked up the wine glass and sighed with a smile: "The child is not sensible and talks nonsense, my aunt helped him make amends and punished him with three glasses of wine, are you satisfied?" ”

The Queen Mother held back for a long time before she snorted coldly: "Hmph~ You have to be scared, you treat Xu Buling as a baby, and I don't know what people think of you in their hearts...... Maybe in front of other women, it is much better than in front of you, trying to please others, holding it in the palm of your hand for fear of falling, holding it in your mouth for fear of melting......"

Mrs. Lu said 'yo~', supported her cheeks with her hands, and raised her eyebrows: "Don't worry about the Queen Mother, Ling'er is a man, and she is a high-ranking position, so it is natural that there are two good people who act on the spot, but this aunt is just me." It's better than Xiao Ting, tricking fat powder from her aunt to please the vulgar fat powder of Qinglou Goolan, and saying, "This is the ...... used by the Queen Mother of the Dynasty" tsk ......"

“……”

The Queen Mother's face turned green with anger, if she didn't dare to say it, she would have to shake out the appearance of Xu Buling on her.

It's so deceitful!

Mrs. Lu took a sip of wine, only felt a lot more comfortable in her heart, and continued to fan the flames: "Do you want me to go back and say something, and hang Xiao Ting up and beat him again?" The Queen Mother has been teaching for so many years, and I can't stand it as a sister-in-law......"

"Lu Hongluan!"

The Queen Mother had a cold face, with a look of 'you say another word to try'.

Mrs. Lu smiled and leaned on the soft collapse, and raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong?" ”

“……”

The Queen Mother was so angry that her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she held it for a long time, but finally took a deep breath, leaned back on the couch, and calmed down: "Forget it, this palace doesn't quarrel with you, and it's hard to raise a little more water in the summer resort, and it hurts your body." ”

Mrs. Lu blinked, and remembered the business again: "Eh~ Is there a way to maintain health and stay beautiful?" The concubine used to live here, but I didn't see so many changes all of a sudden. ”

"Nope." The Queen Mother took a sip of wine and replied directly. Don't say no, even if there is her, it is impossible to say.

Mrs. Lu was a little disappointed and thought for a while: "Then what are you doing when you lock yourself in the house at night and do your work?" ”

With Mrs. Lu's temperament, if she didn't ask why, she would definitely be cranky for half a year. The Queen Mother hesitated slightly, and in order to hide people's eyes, she stood up: "Just get some small things......" said and walked to the box she was carrying, took out an object from the small mahogany card, sat on the couch again, and shook it in front of Mrs. Lu's eyes, with a bit of showing off.

Mrs. Lu knew that the Queen Mother liked to study some quirky things, such as treasure boxes and tangrams. At this time, when I looked up, the Queen Mother was holding a red rope in her hand, and there was a 'gold pendant' hanging underneath.

Unlike other pendants, this 'pendant' made of pure gold is oval-shaped, smooth as a mirror, and the size of a quail egg, or a golden 'quail egg'.

Mrs. Lu's eyes were confused, she raised her hand to take the golden quail egg, shook it in the palm of her hand, and checked it back and forth: "What is this?" It's just a golden ball, what's so strange about it......"

"Hmph~"

The Queen Mother looked at the village woman who had just entered the city, raised her slender eyebrows, took the golden quail egg, held it in the palm of her hand, and then pulled the red rope at the end of the tail a few times.

Rustle –

The sound of gears turning.

In Mrs. Lu's puzzled gaze, the Queen Mother wound up, and then spread out her palm, and the smooth golden egg trembled in the palm of her hand, accompanied by a 'buzzing' sound, obviously the structure inside was very complicated.

"Huh?"

Mrs. Lu naturally felt quite magical, raised her hand to pick up the trembling golden quail egg, her fingertips were numb, and she listened to it, and the sound of the objects in it turning was very smooth, 'buzzing'.

"Well, haven't you seen it?"

"I've never seen ......"

Mrs. Lu held it in her palm and looked at it for a long time, and asked suspiciously, "What is this for?" ”

“……”

The Queen Mother blinked and shook her head: "It's useless...... Haven't come up with it yet......"

Mrs. Lu nodded gently, thought for a while, and suddenly raised her hand to press the beating quail egg on the queen mother's waist.

"Ahh......h

The Queen Mother suddenly shuddered, couldn't help but want to laugh, and pushed and shoved with her hand......

Tweeting, pushing, shoving.

The thunderstorm continued until late, and the frolic did not stop until the middle of the night when the sake bottomed out......
