Chapter Twenty-Three: The Night Whisper Before the Lamp
Branches on the moon.
The Queen Mother was dizzy, and when she closed her eyes and was half asleep, she seemed to notice that there was another person beside her, and opened her eyes slightly - her face was as white as jade, handsome and unparalleled, and she looked like she had come out of a painting, and she was still holding a sugar gourd in her hand.
"Brother Ling~......"
The dream-like whispering is like nothing, and the Queen Mother's mind is somewhere else, and it may just be regarded as an illusion. Biting his fingers, his eyes are very charming, and he is slightly upright, with some meaning of "hurry up, hurry up".
Xu Buling blinked, he really didn't expect it to be so coincidental, thought about it, and leaned over in front of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother's breath was slightly hot, and she took the initiative to kiss Xu Buling's lips, but she ......
It feels so real......
!!
The Queen Mother's dizzy eyes gradually condensed, and her mind was also retracted, and she blinked her apricot eyes, first with a little doubt, then her face turned red, and then she turned white violently.
"Ahh
A soft scream sounded, and the Queen Mother pushed Xu Buling away, turned over and closed the red dress and hugged her arms, and glared at the man in front of her with some anger:
"You...... No order! You're so bold, you ...... It turned out to be ......"
His face was sometimes red and sometimes pale, and he tried to make a majestic and angry appearance, but he couldn't hide the shame and embarrassment in his eyes—I ...... What was I doing...... It must have fallen for his sorcery......
Xu Buling knew that this would be the case, smiled lightly, sat next to him, and handed over the sugar gourd in his hand:
"Rushed to the door, and asked the Queen Mother to forgive me!"
The Queen Mother's heart and body are all up and down, and she is embarrassed to be bumped into 'ugly things', where is she in the mood to accompany Xu Buling to chat, and said urgently:
"You...... You get out of the way...... Get out of ...... now"
Xu Buling was not angry at all, sat a little closer, and said softly:
"It's all coming......"
"Phew—"
When the Queen Mother heard this, her legs weakened, moved to the side, gritted her silver teeth, and raised her hand to the outside:
"You go, this palace will help you detoxify...... It's kindness, and when to detoxify depends on the meaning of this palace. Come over without saying hello, what do you think of this palace? Yours...... What you can't do! Get out! ”
The apricot eyes were round, trying to make a very fierce appearance, and the posture was indeed leaning on the soft couch, looking scared.
Xu Buling looked a little amused, raised his hand to hold his slender wrist, and looked at his slender white fingers—with a little water stain.
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, reacted, and hurriedly wanted to withdraw her finger, but she never wanted to be bitten by the stinky man in front of her.
"Ah—shut up...... You...... Hongu is wrong, don't make these ......"
The Queen Mother was like crazy, her fingers couldn't be withdrawn, she could only look at Xu Buling with a red face, with a bit of a posture of begging for mercy.
Xu Buling was satisfied, let go of the queen mother's baby, sat upright on the soft couch, and shook the red and bright sugar gourd:
"I bought it after running a long way, and I'll leave after eating."
“……”
The Queen Mother glared, how could she not understand what Xu Buling meant, if she could leave honestly tonight, she would write her name upside down......
"You...... You are not allowed to come over like this in the future, only this once, and then dare to make your own opinion, I ...... I'm going to kill myself right now......"
"Okay, next time I come and knock on the door."
“……”
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth, perhaps wanting to reveal what had just happened, sat up straight and put on a dignified appearance, looked at the sugar gourd, and said coldly: "This palace is not a three-year-old child, don't eat these things......"
Xu Buling nodded, raised his hand and stuffed the sugar gourd into his mouth, and bit down on one.
The Queen Mother naturally wouldn't be tempted by this, and snorted lightly, not caring at all. It was just that she immediately found out that Xu Buling came over biting the sugar gourd.
“!”
The Queen Mother suffered a loss, and hurriedly raised her hand to cover her mouth, frowning and muffled: "You are presumptuous...... The ...... of Hongu said that he was about to get up and go to fetch the poisoned wine that was ready at any time.
Xu Buling smiled crookedly, but he was not in a hurry, he inserted the sugar gourd between the fruit plates on the table, and honestly leaned on the soft collapse, with a posture of 'gentlemen do not move'.
The Queen Mother was relieved at this time, and moved her hips to sit on the other side of the soft couch.
The room was quiet, two people sat on the couch, and there was still 'big work' later, and the atmosphere was naturally getting more and more weird.
The Queen Mother tried to keep her face cold, her eyes looking left and right in the room, as if looking for something to talk about to ease the atmosphere.
Xu Buling stared at the side face under the candlelight, pondered slightly, and opened his mouth first:
"The Queen Mother entered the palace back then, is she familiar with Queen Cui and King Song Yu of Yan?"
The Queen Mother frowned and glanced at Xu Buling, thought about it, whether it was rolling over the sheets, and she didn't shy away too much, raised her hand to sort out the scattered dresses, and said flatly:
"My son and daughter-in-law are naturally familiar."
“……”
Xu Buling felt strange when he heard this, although the Queen Mother was only one year older than Empress Cui and more than ten years younger than Song Yu, but in fact it was true.
"Uh...... I've been in the capital for more than a year, and I don't know much about these things, anyway, it's a long night, why don't you tell me about it later? ”
Seeing that the queen mother's bun was a little messy, Xu Buling stepped forward between words, raised his hand to pull off the golden hairpin, and then picked up the comb.
The Queen Mother's eyes were vigilant, and after finding that Xu Buling was just combing her hair, she hesitated, but she didn't refuse again, but just turned her back:
"There's not much to say...... Since Empress Cui entered the palace, she has stayed in the Lizheng Palace and never went out, and she never went out during the New Year's holidays. I'm in Changle Palace, in fact, I haven't seen it a few times, but I heard the palace maid say that Queen Cui is a little boring, and no one cares about it, even the saint...... In the end, I may have been sick and left at a young age......"
Xu Buling held the green silk and sighed softly.
The Queen Mother is actually talkative, and she has been in the palace for ten years, and as long as she meets someone who can talk, she will speak for a long time. At this time, seeing that Xu Buling was willing to listen, even if he was not very willing in his heart, he still couldn't help it, and continued to talk about the past:
“…… Yan Wang's writing is excellent, and his reputation has always been very high. But...... Alas, but after all, he is a showman, I once chatted with Jiujie Niangniang, Jiujie Niangniang said that when the first emperor was still there, she once said in private, 'Everything can be done, but you can't be the king', but this must not be put on the table to hurt King Yan's heart...... King Yan actually had self-knowledge, and after the death of the first emperor, he directly gave up the throne on the grounds of 'whether he could inherit the unification'...... But I didn't expect him to even want the throne in the end, and went to the country to supervise the book for so many years, huh...... worthy of the reputation of a true gentleman......"
The Queen Mother spoke intermittently, on the one hand, it was memories, on the other hand, the man's breathing inadvertently blew on his ears, he felt a little weird, his cheeks were involuntarily hot, and his thoughts were always drifting to other places.
Xu Buling calmly erected her hair and leaned into her ear: "True gentleman...... I'm afraid I can't afford it, huh? ”
The Queen Mother's body trembled, and she tilted her head slightly annoyed: "Do you still know?" You...... You're a hindrance...... Stay away from the main shrine......"
Xu Buling frowned slightly, and asked knowingly: "Before I came, the Queen Mother didn't mean to let me stay away......
The Queen Mother's face suddenly showed a little embarrassment, and she said coldly:
"Hongu has just fallen asleep and dreamed."
"Who's dreaming? This word is a little familiar to my brother......"
"Xu Buling!"
The Queen Mother stared wide-eyed, obviously forced to do nothing.
Xu Buling stopped at the point, and apologized softly: "Okay, okay, don't talk about it...... Detoxification ......"
The Queen Mother bit her lower lip, her eyes were full of annoyance, she felt a slight sinking behind her, and she had the intention of knocking her down, and said seriously: "If you want to detoxify, detoxify, don't talk about these things that you don't have...... Otherwise, I won't help you......"
"Good...... Let the child know that he is wrong......"
The Queen Mother pursed her lips and struggled for a moment, but she had no other way but to be pushed down half-pushed......
