Chapter Forty-Nine: Tired of combing day and night
The tour of the painting boat on the side of the Qujiang Pond, the team of the official wife turned around the beautiful lake for a long time, and the time gradually passed noon, and it was time to return to the city.
The Queen Mother stayed alone in the deep palace for ten years, because of her identity, she was usually unable to show her face, and her prestige was not enough, and she couldn't listen to the government like those powerful Queen Mothers in history.
finally came out for a walk, but the queen mother was a little reluctant to go back, and did not board the imperial chariot, but walked to Chang'an City with her nephew Xiao Ting, talking about some family shortcomings along the way.
People need to communicate, just like Mrs. Lu, there is no son and half daughter under her knees, and it is very cherished to have a nephew to accompany her to tell the truth.
The Queen Mother has no children, and as Xiao Chuyang's younger sister, she almost regards Xiao Ting as her own son. It's a pity that Xiao Ting's guy doesn't have the experience of being a human being in the next place, he is completely a seventeen or eighteen bear child, and his brain circuits are not very normal, let alone intimate, thank God for not making the Queen Mother angry.
On the stone path between the bamboo forests, the Queen Mother was dressed in a gorgeous palace skirt and walked slowly with a dignified posture, and a group of officials and wives could not leave the Queen Mother, they all followed behind. Zhang Xiang walked ten steps away from the Queen Mother with a knife on his waist, and the wolf guard took five steps and a post, and there was no chance of stabbing around, and it was impossible for even a dark arrow to shoot over.
Xiao Ting shook the jade fracture fan in winter, and followed the Queen Mother in a leisurely stroll, looking quite dignified, but unfortunately the expression was a little underwhelming:
"Auntie, now my nephew's status in the rivers and lakes is different, after going to the Guozi Prison, those masters and gentlemen are all smiling, and the students even give me a thumbs up when they see me, and call me 'Xiao Gongzi', especially the prince of Shu, who used to laugh at me all the time, but now he speaks politely......
In just one sentence, the words "complacent" are vividly displayed.
The Queen Mother was not good at scolding Xiao Ting in front of outsiders, so she had to glance lightly: "You do the right thing, the master naturally appreciates you, my previous generations of Xiao family men, 'sword walking in the palace, entering the court does not trend, praise and worship is not famous' is a common thing, you are complacent now, and when you reach your father's position, you must not soar in the daytime?" ”
Xiao Ting smiled: "Don't dare to think about it...... Well, they praised me, and I said it was my aunt who taught me well......"
Finally said something human.
The Queen Mother hummed softly, walked slowly, remembered the matter of the observation deck again, looked back at the team behind her, and talked and laughed with Mrs. Lu.
"By the way, a few days ago, I heard that there was a masterpiece in the Dragon Poetry Club?"
Xiao Ting's eyes lit up, and he folded the fan and patted his palm: "Ouch~ It turns out that my aunt has heard about this?" That's right, for the Dragon Poetry Club, I meditated and prepared for three days and three nights, and wrote a poem "My Prime Minister Daddy" ......"
The Queen Mother was a little helpless: "It's a masterpiece, how many pounds and taels do you have, I don't know?" ”
Xiao Ting's face froze, he shut up suddenly, and after thinking carefully for a while, he said seriously:
"On the day of the dragon poetry meeting, there was a lot of dross that was difficult to see, but after panning for gold in the sand, there was indeed a poem that was more brilliant. Well...... The wind lives in the agarwood flowers are exhausted, and the day and night are tired of combing the ......"
"Comb your hair! What combs up for you...... Get out of here! ”
The Queen Mother's face sank suddenly, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be about to kill.
'Combing' is the pronoun of the Qinglou woman who received guests for the first time, and the queen mother was naturally angry when she heard this.
Even the always serious and cold commander Zhang Xiang coughed lightly, looked away, and didn't hear what he did.
Xiao Ting covered his mouth with a fan and said, "It's smooth...... No, it's all nonsense like Guozijian, which makes me remember it...... Auntie, do you know who wrote this poem? ”
The Queen Mother frowned, her phoenix eyes widened, and she endured it for a long time, but finally did not open her mouth to scold, and said coldly:
"Xu Buling wrote it?"
"Definitely!"
Xiao Ting looked back a few times with smug eyes, and then whispered: "Long Yin Poetry Club, I asked Xu Buling if he also bought poetry, he admitted it, I laughed at him, and he beat me angrily and embarrassed......"
The Queen Mother was actually very puzzled in her heart, not believing that this poem was written by Xu Buling, who had 'developed limbs and a simple mind' since childhood, and after hearing Xiao Ting's words, she was skeptical:
"Are you sure Xu Buling isn't lying to you?"
Xiao Ting blinked, a little dissatisfied: "I'm so smart, how can that barbarian fool me!" ”
“……”
The Queen Mother pursed her red lips lightly, stopped talking, and finally nodded and stopped talking.
Xiao Ting kept chattering beside him, which could be regarded as relieving the boredom of the elders.
After walking on the stone road, I gradually came to a place where the bamboo forest is more dense, the bamboo is evergreen all year round, and the bamboo leaves are hung with thin layers of snow, which is as quiet as an ink painting.
When the Queen Mother and Xiao Ting were chatting about home, there was a sudden 'click' sound in the quiet bamboo forest, as if the dry bamboo had been stepped on, and the sound was faint and inaudible, and it was very far away.
The faint movement was not felt by the Queen Mother and Xiao Ting at all. Zhang Xiang had already pressed the Yanling knife in his hand and stopped on the stone road. More than a dozen wolf guards around turned their heads in unison, and they all 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 sensed that something was wrong from the wolf guard's reaction, looked left and right blankly, and asked:
"Zhang Xiang, what's wrong?"
Zhang Xiang's face was respectful, and he raised his hand and saluted: "There are small beasts in the forest, in order to prevent disturbing the Queen Mother, please also ask the Queen Mother to move back to the palace and go over to have a look." ”
The Queen Mother was also a little tired of shopping, and nodded lightly at the moment, and the wolf guard carried her over.
Xiao Ting heard that there was a little beast, but he was interested, so he took a fan and followed Zhang Xiang over: "Auntie, I'll go over and take a look." ”
The Queen Mother knew Zhang Xiang's martial arts, not to mention the little beast, even if the Nian Beast came, she had to lie on her stomach, so she naturally didn't worry, and left with the palace maid.
At the back of the team, Xu Buling walked between a group of charming ladies, the front and back were full of pearls and jade runs, and it was not etiquette to see anywhere, the key was that those young ladies and princesses of cardamom age deliberately leaned in front of him, and there were no longer a few who took the opportunity to talk to him, and he couldn't be too cold because of the rules, and he couldn't resist it.
Seeing that there was movement in the bamboo forest, Xu Buling took the opportunity to say:
"Aunt Lu, I'll go over there and have a look."
Mrs. Lu, who was walking beside her, raised her eyes and saw Zhang Xiang and Xiao Ting walking towards the bamboo forest, so she knew that there might be something strange, and frowned:
"Don't go......"
Xu Buling blinked, looking like he wanted to go out and play but couldn't.
Mrs. Lu was finally distressed and shook her head: "That's it, be careful, I'll wait for you at the intersection, don't play for too long." ”
Xu Buling nodded slightly, took the reins of the horse from the hand of the moon slave, and then broke away from the team and walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest......
