Chapter 61: Entering the Palace
Knock –
Knock –
The morning bell rang through the thousands of streets and hundreds of squares in Chang'an, the smoke of the cooking in the market was steaming, and the people began their busy day, and the military generals in court clothes walked on the majestic palace city at the end of the Baishi Imperial Road.
In King Su's mansion, a few days ago, he swore that he and Mrs. Lu promised not to enter the palace, burned incense and bathed, tied his hair and changed his clothes, made the appearance of recovering from a serious illness, and stepped on the carriage into the palace with a box of rouge gouache.
Life is at stake, Mrs. Lu can't care if she will grind people to death, men, you have to face it.
The morning light sprinkled on the Vermilion Bird Street across Chang'an, and the carriage staggered to the palace gate, and the greeting post had been sent in advance, and Changle Palace sent someone out to greet it, but the posture of this greeting was really not very pleasing.
The queen mother's exclusive step is gone, and several palace maids like crooked melons and cracked dates are standing outside the palace gate and waiting, one of them is a palace maid who is five feet tall and has a waist circumference of five feet, and she is still holding the spring rolls bought from the street and gnawing them, and I don't know how she was selected to enter the palace.
Xu Buling got down from the carriage, and several palace maids in the laundry room looked at each other as if they hadn't seen a man for decades, three points shy and seven points fiery, and they didn't understand the rules at all.
"Uh......"
Xu Buling, in line with the original intention of not judging people by their appearance, still nodded with a smile, and then walked to the Queen Mother's bedroom in the depths of Changle Palace with the gift box.
I hid from the Queen Mother for many days, and the side effects were visible to the naked eye.
There was a dead silence in the Changle Palace, which was originally a little popular, and the palace maids didn't know where to hide, and they didn't meet anyone from the palace gate to the dormitory, only a few possessive palace maids behind them were talking about compliments.
The Queen Mother's bedroom was originally full of flower pots, which were planted with chrysanthemums that had not yet budded. At this time, it was obvious that someone had been ruined, and several flower pots near the aisle were smashed, and then they were probably too heavy to be smashed, so they were thrown aside.
The big tripod in the garden was erected again, and Qiao'e stood beside it tremblingly, directing the two little palace maids to light the fire.
The fire was very strong, and it was steaming in the big ding, and it was obvious that the water had been boiling for a while.
There is a diving platform built at zero hour next to Dading, Xiao Ting was tied to the pillar by five flowers, his originally handsome face was full of horror, and he struggled to turn around and cry for his father:
"Auntie, Ting'er is wrong! You can't cook it, you won't have a nephew if you cook it...... I'm going to find Xu Buling, and I'll carry it back for you......"
“……”
Xu Buling took a breath, covered his face with his sleeve and wanted to walk over quickly.
It's a pity that Xiao Ting's eyes are sharp, and he still found the culprit trotting through the aisle, and he suddenly became excited and roared:
"Xu Buling, you are finally willing to show your mother's face, why don't you die! Uncle, if I don't stand up to you today, I won't be surnamed Xiao ......."
Xu Buling coughed lightly, and was a little embarrassed to be a little embarrassed, and raised his hand at the palace maid behind:
"What is this doing, quickly put Xiao Gongzi down, what should I do if I get hurt."
The palace maid with a huge body in the back, with a Shu accent, said with a slurp:
"Ouch ~ Shizi Palace, these firewood was finally brought over, the Queen Mother didn't let me put it, and I ...... boiled it when I put it."
"Xu Buling, you don't save me, I'm your uncle, Mrs. Lu's brother-in-law, let's look up and see ......"
Xu Buling couldn't stand it a little, and when he passed by a broken flower pot, he kicked lightly with his toes, and a piece of broken porcelain spun out, and crossed the wooden platform next to Dading with the sound of breaking wind, and the rope broke in response.
Xiao Tingru was amnesty, jumped off the platform in a hurry and ran out of the palace, and did not forget to turn around and shout: "Auntie, it was Xu Buling who let me go, not me who ran by myself, I want to get angry and find Xu Buling......" disappeared between the words, and ran faster than a rabbit.
Xu Buling's eyes were full of astonishment, and he suddenly regretted it, knowing that he would come back a few days later......
-----
The door to the main hall of the dormitory was closed, and there was silence inside and out.
Xu Buling walked to the door, and the palace maid ran down cautiously, for fear that the queen mother, who was angry, would be angry with others.
Xu Buling tidied up his clothes and made a gentle and elegant appearance, raised his hand and knocked on the carved wooden door.
Knock Knock –
In the splendid hall, the Queen Mother, who was leaning on the soft collapse and swallowing melon seeds, sat up when she heard the sound, kicked the tray containing the fruit shells into the soft couch, rubbed her beautiful eyes, and did not stop until her eyes were red.
"You get in for this palace!"
A rebuke with a bit of trilling sounded from the main hall.
Xu Buling, who was outside the door, felt his scalp tingle when he heard this, took a breath and showed a gentle smile, raised his hand and pushed the door open.
Squeak –
The resplendent main hall was very cold, several vases fell to the ground, and the furnishings were also in a mess, apparently after the violent destruction.
On the soft couch on the side, the Queen Mother sat on it, her eyes seemed to be about to kill, her eyes were red as if she had cried, the original gorgeous phoenix skirt was replaced by a white plain skirt, without powder, and the poor woman who was tortured and lost everything was like a lost soul, a golden scissors were held in the hands of the Queen Mother, and the tips of the scissors were facing the door.
When Xu Buling saw this scene, he only felt a pain in his brain, and a faint sense of guilt. After a little silence, he stepped forward slowly and made a junior salute in a proper manner:
"Queen Mother."
"You ......"
The Queen Mother's body trembled slightly, and she gritted her silver teeth and glared at Xu Buling for a long time before she said in a trembling voice:
"Close the door."
Xu Buling blinked, honestly turned around and closed the door, and then he heard the sound of footsteps and rushed straight towards him.
Xu Buling sighed secretly, turned around and raised his hand, making a scared look:
"Queen Mother, calm down and let your child know your mistake."
The Queen Mother's face was sad and indignant, holding scissors and pointing at Xu Buling, her voice was a little choked:
"You...... You wickedness, do you know what nonsense you have done? ”
"I have no choice but to ask the Queen Mother for forgiveness."
"As a last resort? Hehe......"
The Queen Mother choked back tears, her eyelashes trembled slightly and stared at Xu Buling: "I am the Queen Mother, the mother of a country, if the first emperor has a knowing ......" Speaking of this, the Queen Mother was sad and raised her hand to stab the scissors to her neck, looking like she had lost her innocence and was going to be martyred.
Xu Buling was in a hurry, hurriedly grabbed the golden scissors with two fingers, and seriously apologized: "Queen Mother, Ling'er knows his mistake, it's really a last resort, and you also know the situation that night......"
The Queen Mother struggled to twitch the scissors, but she couldn't do it at all, where to get it back, she could only grit her teeth and say:
"Why are you avoiding me? Why didn't you come when I told you to enter the palace? ”
Xu Buling showed guilt on his face: "I am ashamed of the queen mother, and I really have no shame to come to the door." ”
The Queen Mother nodded lightly, suppressed her anger and stretched out her white palm: "Okay, this palace is a last resort...... Return the belly pocket to Hongu! ”
Xu Buling shook his head very simply:
"No."
“……?!”
