In the early summer, the breeze is gentle, on the small street of the Fairy Bridge, strings of lanterns are hung on both sides of the street, talented and beautiful women stroll on the streets, and the hawkers shout one after another, but they are not noisy, but they add a bit of fireworks to the beautiful streets and alleys with beautiful scenery.

After the long procession entered Chang'an City, the princely ladies dispersed one after another, and Mrs. Lu got off the chariot halfway, and left Xu Buling to the queen mother very arrogantly, and returned to Kuishou Street by frame. When they walked near the Fairy Bridge, only the Queen Mother's honor guard was left.

Xu Buling rode a wind-chasing horse and walked on the side of the carriage, his back was straight without squinting, and he looked like a loyal guard, and only when he reached the place did he cough lightly.

"Ahem—"

In the carriage, the queen mother heard the voice and was silent before opening the window, looked at the beautiful street, and then raised her hand:

"Qiao'e, the scenery here is good, let the people in the Ministry of Rites disperse, take a look at the palace here."

The palace maid Qiao'e knew that the Queen Mother had been in a panic recently, so she naturally didn't say anything, and honestly went over to talk to the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and then stopped the Queen Mother's chariot and guards.

Because it wasn't the first time, Qiao'e glanced at Xu Buling, who was sitting on the horse without squinting, hesitated for a while, and walked under the car window:

"Do you want the Queen Mother to come down and take a walk, there is a little prince, no one will be able to disturb the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother 'considered' it, nodded slightly, raised her hand and let Qiao'e get into the carriage, and then it was a stumbling motion.

After a while, the Queen Mother stepped down from the carriage, let the guards stand by, and walked out into the side street on her own.

Xu Buling turned over and dismounted, walked behind the queen mother with a sword, and his figure was not the slightest abnormal, until he was far away from the guards and palace maids, and then whispered:

"Baby."

"Shut up."

The Queen Mother's face was slightly red, and then she was cold, walked in front with a dignified posture, quietly looked back, and made sure that the guards couldn't hear before she said coldly:

"This palace is just out to relax, if you dare to be presumptuous, hum-"

Xu Buling smiled at the corner of his mouth, moved a little closer, and said softly:

"I just accompanied the Queen Mother out to relax."

The Queen Mother said a faint "um~", and walked leisurely on the side street, looking at the surrounding beauty. It's just that for some reason, I don't have the feeling of making people dream back at midnight last time, maybe my mind at this time is not on the scenery at all.

After walking past the stall selling sugar gourds last time, Xu Buling walked up to him and picked up a red and bright sugar gourd and handed it to the Queen Mother:

"The Queen Mother sacrificed herself to detoxify me, I have always kept it in my heart, and said that I would repay it for the rest of my life......"

"Don't talk about these ......"

The Queen Mother looked at the sugar gourd delivered to her, pursed her lips, raised her hand to take it, held it in her hand but didn't eat it, just said plainly:

"This palace saves you for the safety of the people of the whole world, as long as you can remember the words promised to me and have the world in your heart, I don't need you to return anything...... Remember to put incense sticks on me in the future. ”

I don't know why I said this last sentence, but to say it is to say it.

The Queen Mother lowered her head and secretly looked at the sugar gourd in her hand, her expression was quiet, and she couldn't see what she was thinking. 58 reading

Xu Buling smiled lightly, walked in front of him, blocked the eyes of most of the pedestrians with his body, and said softly:

"Repayment is still going to be repaid, in fact...... In fact, there is no need for the Queen Mother to put life and death out of the way like this......"

"Shut up."

The Queen Mother's face sank, and there was a little annoyance in her eyes: "Hugh wants to say this, this palace is the Queen Mother, and I ...... you If you don't die, how can you be worthy of the ancestors of the Xiao family and the people of the world? Do you want me to carry the reputation of the 'lewd queen' for 10,000 years? ”

Xu Buling sighed softly, knowing that the barrier in the Queen Mother's heart was almost unshakable, and she also dispelled the idea of persuasion at the moment:

"It's going to take eighty more detoxifications, huh...... These days, the Queen Mother has forgotten those things, people walk in the world, they have to live according to their own way of life, and other things, let's keep them after the detoxification. ”

The Queen Mother blinked, perhaps awakened by this sentence, or found an excuse to calm her mind, her eyes moved slightly, and she looked down at the sugar gourd in her hand:

"It's ...... to say lightly"

"Give it a try, anyway, no outsiders will know, ten years in the deep palace, the good youth has been wasted, live for yourself for a while, God won't say anything."

“……”

The Queen Mother hesitated for a long time - it's already like this, it's alive with a burden in her heart, and it's alive to forget those things for the time being, anyway, it's going to die, and living for yourself won't change anything.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother quietly put the sugar gourd in her mouth, bit down on one, chewed it slowly, and looked at the scenery on the street.

Although it was just an idea, the Queen Mother seemed to have changed a person, forgetting her identity and shackles, strolling leisurely, merging with the picture of the painted beauty, and the aura in the boudoir in the past came out again, as if she had returned to the age of cardamom. Maybe this woman at this moment is the real Xiao Xiang'er.

Xu Buling's gaze stayed on the cheeks that were full of aura, but much more delicate than the picture scroll, and was silent for a moment, and said softly:

"Baby?"

The Queen Mother blinked, this time she didn't scold, but with her hands behind her back, the sugar gourd swayed:

"I'm not a little girl, what a baby...... Xu Buling, I found that you are a little unconscionable. ”

Xu Buling blinked: "What's wrong?" ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Xu Buling: "The first time I invited you into the palace, I gave you a picture of a beauty that had been treasured for ten years, and you wrote a few poems, a few boxes of rouge, and a few strings of sugar gourds to send me away, don't you think this gift is still a bit unreasonable?" ”

Xu Buling shook his head and chuckled: "I thought you didn't care." ”

The Queen Mother snorted lightly: "I don't care about you, but I care about Hongluan, she is old with me." A few days ago, you also became a 'beauty', and you also got Xu Danqing's 'beauty picture', I was thinking, you will definitely give me the painting as soon as possible, and I am still thinking about how to use the painting to kill Hongluan, he~ The result is good, the next day Hongluan came to the door, holding your portrait in his hand, and said that he wanted to give me a look ......"

Xu Buling's face stiffened, and he smiled lightly: "Aunt Lu has always been like this, treating the Queen Mother as a sister, and no one else cares about it." ”

The Queen Mother nodded at this: "That's true, but I'm still angry, you get Xu Danqing's true work back, and burn it to me when the time comes." I'm just waiting on the bridge, after a hundred years, Hongluan will come down, and I don't have to care about any etiquette and rules, I will tell her everything now, I think she still treats you as a baby, and I don't ......"

"Uh...... Then I don't think I can be reborn......"

"Hmph~...... It's good to know...... I can't wait......"
