Chapter 12 Pressing the Road
Since the last time I entered the palace, seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Xu Buling felt that the cooling-off period was almost there, so he handed a message to the palace and visited the Queen Mother again in the afternoon, and there were only a few days left before the end of the year.
In the past few days of staying in the Guozijian, Xu Buling asked Lao Xiao and the guards to investigate the situation, the Lizheng Hall is the residence of the queen, and in the emperor's harem, I am afraid it is a little difficult to talk to Jia Yi.
However, no matter how difficult it is, Xu Buling has to find a way, the lock dragon Gu is like the sword of Damos hanging above his head on his body, and if he doesn't untie it, he will always be controlled by others. The harem is separated from Changle Palace by a thousand-step corridor, and this method can only start from the queen mother.
The arrangements for entering the palace were in full swing, and the news coming back from outside made Xu Buling a little ridiculous.
According to the report of the old seven and eight, Zhu Manzhi didn't know what was crazy, and pulled Ning Qingye out to run rampant, demolishing gambling houses, smashing kilns, arresting prostitutes, and arresting gambling sticks.
I wish Manzhi a soft hand in rewarding silver, Ning Qingye is not afraid of the price, pulling the banner of the wolf guard to clean up the little hooligans everywhere, looking like he is quite happy, it is estimated that it is also because he has been recuperating for a long time.
Xu Buling naturally doesn't interfere with this, everyone has their own life, as long as they don't cause trouble for him.
At noon, Yushu, who was dressed up again, arrived outside Jinghuayuan on Kuishou Street first.
Last time, I promised to give the Queen Mother rouge, and I must bring it when I enter the palace today. And it's not enough to just do the right thing and forget Aunt Lu, family and work are good men, so I just took the opportunity to pick up rouge and accompany Aunt Lu to go out for a walk.
The warm sun hung in the air, Xu Buling stood outside the courtyard and waited quietly, and within a moment, Mrs. Lu, who had already been prepared, walked out in a dark green winter skirt, with a shoulder on her shoulders, her hair combed into a recently popular Suiyun bun, and a flower hairpin was inserted between the buns.
Xu Buling smiled, walked to the carriage and raised his hand to help.
"Aunt Lu."
"Hmm."
Mrs. Lu was in a good mood, and after getting into the carriage, she turned around and reached out. Xu Buling naturally held the white greasy soft wattle and got into the carriage effortlessly.
Squeak, squeak, squeak-
The wheels ran over the stone road to the most prosperous Zhuangyuan Street in the capital.
Mrs. Lu leaned against the car window, helped Xu Buling arrange her clothes and hair, and said softly:
"Why do you want to go out with me today? Can't help but be satisfied? ”
Xu Buling wanted to enter the palace, it was impossible to hide it, and in the face of Mrs. Lu's knowingly asked, he said with a smile:
"The grounding is just a holy scene, I haven't accompanied Aunt Lu out for a walk for a long time, and I was infected with the wind chill last time I fell into the water, I'm afraid that Aunt Lu will stay at home and be bored."
Mrs. Lu tidied up Xu Buling's clothes, looked at them carefully, and then continued to sigh sullenly:
"Didn't you say you wouldn't enter the palace? I went to apologize last time, but it's only been a few days since I went again, and I came here because I was afraid that I would be angry, right? ”
Xu Buling knew that he was going to say this, smiled, raised his hand and kneaded Mrs. Lu's shoulder: "The Queen Mother is an elder, and she has received two jars of wine but has lost her trust, and she will not go after all." I'm just going to visit the elders, how can Aunt Lu be angry, she should think I'm sensible. ”
Mrs. Lu frowned slightly, twisted her shoulders, but did not break free of Xu Buling's hand: "I am strict, the Queen Mother is generous, look at what she has brought Xiao Ting into?" I'm afraid that you will stick to the Queen Mother all day long and not be close to my aunt. As the saying goes, 'those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black', I'm not angry, I'm afraid that you will learn badly! ”
“……”
Xu Buling nodded and chuckled: "I'm not a white-eyed wolf, Aunt Lu is so good to me, my heart is warm." Last time I rested in my house for one night, he helped me change the quilt, sheets, and pillows......"
Mrs. Lu's cheeks flushed, and she hurriedly pressed it back, her gloomy and resentful look disappeared in an instant, she sat up straight and moved inside, and said softly:
"It's just a matter of hand, don't take it to heart."
"Okay."
Xu Buling hooked the corners of his mouth, and finally cleared.
After such a hiatus, Mrs. Lu held back no matter how much she spoke, and sat in the carriage upright, her eyes glancing at Xu Buling from time to time, and she didn't know what to ponder.
Xu Buling naturally sat upright, without any strange expression.
There was silence in the carriage for a moment, and Mrs. Lu remembered Song Yufu's matter, and her tone was calm, without any emotion:
"By the way, did you snatch Song Yufu's hairpin? The hairpin of the woman's house is very important, and it is not good to take it away rashly......"
Xu Buling frowned, he didn't expect Song Yufu to be so bold, and he sued Mrs. Lu, and the hairpin couldn't be returned to her.
"The husband said that he would return it to her when he left Beijing, and he would return it to her when he left Beijing."
When Mrs. Lu saw him say this, she didn't ask any more: "You can be measured...... But don't forget, if you have a girl you like, bring it over to me as an aunt first. ”
"That's nature."
Xu Buling nodded with a smile.
The carriage swayed, and soon came to Daye Fang, and when passing a restaurant not far from Longyin Pavilion, there were suddenly several noises outside, and the carriage stopped suddenly.
Mrs. Lu was sitting inside, thinking about things in a hurry, and fell forward suddenly, "Ahh
Xu Buling reacted very quickly, and when his center of gravity was unstable, he stretched out his hand and directly hugged Mrs. Lu who was upside down, frowning and looking outside.
Mrs. Lu was lying in Xu Buling's arms, a little stunned, she even forgot to ask, raised her eyes and glanced at Xu Buling's expression, then quietly removed Xu Buling's hand on her waist, sat up straight and hooked the hair next to her ears, and asked with a little displeasure:
"What's wrong?"
The coachman sitting outside the carriage said respectfully: "Madam, there was a fight and the road was blocked. ”
Outside the car window, dozens of people gathered in a sprinkled manner, all of whom were people who came out to shop, and a hollow circle was formed around the restaurant. Two men rolled up their sleeves in winter, their faces turned red and torn together, one was dressed as a Jianghu person, and the other was wearing exotic clothes. The surrounding cheers continued.
The martial arts of Dayue prevailed, and in the past, the street fights damaged the majesty of the great country, so the imperial court drove all the martial arts halls to Hutai Street to prohibit private fights. But this prohibition of private fighting refers to the use of iron weapons to fight to the death. Usually do not use a knife to fight, as long as you come according to the rules, the court is generally blind to one eye, and the people also like to watch the excitement.
However, the bustle in front of me is obviously hindering the traffic order.
Mrs. Lu was frightened, and Xu Buling naturally became angry, so she got up and walked out.
Mrs. Lu hurriedly pulled Xu Buling's sleeve and persuaded: "Forget it, the people of the rivers and lakes are just playing, you are dignified and the prince of the king, what are you doing when you are angry with them?" ”
Xu Buling had to enter the palace later, but he was not in the mood to watch the rookies pecking each other, so he responded with a smile: "It's in the way" and got out of the carriage......
