The next morning, the red sun did not appear in the sky, but instead there was a sea of clouds and a light breeze.

Kuishou Street is gray, three octagonal arches stand solemnly on the street, in the middle of the street Huainan Xiao Nuoda's mansion, servants and maids clean up the corners of the house. The east wing is the house where the eldest young master lives in the house, because Xiao Chuyang's eldest son is a county magistrate in a poor countryside, and this east wing naturally belongs to Xiao Ting.

The time is three poles above the sun, although there is no sun, but the early dynasty will be about to disperse, and many staff members of the Prime Minister's Mansion have already gone to Xiao Chuyang's house to wait. The maid stood outside the eldest young master's room with a basin and kicked the door with her boots:

"Childe, Childe! Get up, the lord comes back and sees that you haven't gotten up yet, and he will definitely send you to the palace to visit the queen mother......"

"Hmm...... The sun hasn't come out yet......"

A lazy voice sounded from inside the house, and after a while, the door opened, and Xiao Ting, dressed in a white nightgown and with hair like a chicken nest, walked out, sleepy-eyed, and still holding a fan in his hand and swaying.

Xiao Ting can be described as a spring breeze in the past few days, a few days ago he took the silver from the Queen Mother to buy rouge, and made a correct choice between Mei Qusheng and Xu Buling, making a lot of money, as for buying rouge? Alas, at most, my aunt hung him up and beat him, and it was not the first time.

After Xiao Ting washed slowly, he spread his hands as he walked, and the maid skillfully dressed in the back, and persuaded: "Childe, it may rain today, so you won't go out, right?" ”

"What's wrong with the rain, I'm in the car, and the rain can't hit me. Tonight, Longyin Pavilion opened a new market, betting on who will become the first beauty of Xuanhe Bakui first, isn't this a silver gift for nothing, except for Fairy Ning, there can be no one else......"

"But Childe, the silver you won last time was already spent, and the Queen Mother's rouge hasn't been bought yet......"

"It's simple, you go to the palace and talk to Qiao'e, and you will say that the price of rouge has risen, and you want some more ......"

"Huh? What does the Queen Mother know to do? ”

"What are you afraid of, my aunt won't ......"

Xiao Ting was talking, and suddenly saw a woman dressed in black walking in outside the gate, with a signature gourd-like figure, eyes like apricots, red lips like vermilion lacquer, simple and elegant, but the nobility and arrogance in her bones invisibly made people dare not look directly.

"Maya~"

Xiao Ting was clever, and hid behind the pillar and covered his face with a fan. The maid was also startled, and hurriedly bowed her head:

"See the Queen Mother."

The woman frowned and walked to the pillar, and looked at Xiao Ting, who was trembling: "Ting'er? What are you hiding here? Unhappy to see your aunt? ”

Xiao Ting's face turned pale, and he looked like 'my life is on hold': "Auntie, the rouge has been bought, I'll go back and get it for you......"

The woman folded her hands on her waist, looked at them carefully, and sighed softly:

"I'm your aunt, not Xiang'er."

“……”

Xiao Ting's expression froze, and he turned his head to look carefully, only to find that the bun was a style that had not been out of the cabinet, and the hairpin on his head was not what the Queen Mother's aunt liked, and his temperament was slightly different.

"Ah~ Auntie, why are you here? Aren't you in Huainan? ”

Xiao Qi's smile was flat: "I was notified that I was coming over a year ago, and the government also sent people out of the city to greet me, don't you know?" ”

"Yes?"

Xiao Ting, who had just gotten up, looked at the most trusted maid.

The maid blinked, looking like 'you didn't listen to your son eight hundred times'.

Xiao Qi stood in a long black dress in the corridor, she hadn't seen this nephew for a long time, she was actually in a good mood, and she didn't delve into it, but she just looked up and down:

"Ready to go out?"

Xiao Ting saw that the person who came was not the queen mother who had gone crazy, so he relaxed a lot, tidied up his clothes, made a gentle and elegant appearance, and chuckled:

"I'm going to go to Guozijian, yesterday Song Fuzi taught the "Book of Rites" chapter of "Xueji", let me study it at home by myself, and take the assessment at noon today."

"Oh."

Xiao Qi nodded and said with a smile: "The learning of remembering questions is not enough to be a teacher, you must also listen to words!" What's next? ”

Xiao Ting smiled, raised his hand, looked like he was ready to show what he had learned, and blinked his eyes: beautiful

“…… Auntie is tired, she should be tired, Ting'er will send you down to rest? ”

Xiao Qi smiled, turned around and left the corridor: "Copy the "Xueji" a hundred times, and send it to the study within three days, otherwise you will be grounded for a month." ”

Xiao Ting's face stiffened, his smile slowly turned distorted, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Auntie, the Guozijian has only copied it ten times, and the price of your sitting on the ground is ......."

"If you can't finish copying, go back to Huainan with me, it seems that the days in the capital are too lazy, and you have forgotten your surname Xiao."

"Auntie, don't ...... I will recite it, the original nature of man is good, eh, ......"

Xiao Ting chased a few steps, and suddenly stumbled and softened to the ground.

The maid said very nervously: "Childe, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's fine, it's just a splitting headache, cough-cough-"

Xiao Ting looked like he was dying, and fell to the ground, but unfortunately, there was no aunt in the corridor......

——————

In Changle Palace, the breeze swept over hundreds of flower pots, although it was not yet the season of chrysanthemums in full bloom, the greenery of the garden was already refreshing. Between the pavilions and pavilions, the Changle Palace, which has always been calm, is being cleaned.

The queen mother wore a fiery red phoenix skirt and sat by the fence on the edge of the verandah, her sitting posture was a little indecent compared to her identity, but the palace maid was used to the queen mother's appearance in private, which was not surprising.

At this time, in the dormitory, dozens of palace maids walked through it, and the furnishings of how convenient and convenient the Queen Mother used to come were placed neatly, and the big tripod in the garden was also moved, and even the small wooden sign that was originally hung on the window to record the weather was removed.

The Queen Mother's eyes were obviously a little unhappy, but she was helpless. Her sister has been strict with rules since she was a child, and when she visits the palace, she finds that she has made a mess of the queen mother's bedroom, and she has to chatter until she finishes rectifying it......

Qiao'e sat next to the Queen Mother, pinched her shoulders seriously, saw the Queen Mother's unhappy face, and said softly:

"Queen Mother, the eldest lady will not enter the palace every day, and as soon as the eldest lady leaves in the autumn, they will be stable."

Qiao'e and the Queen Mother grew up together, when she was a child, the Queen Mother was rude and willful and mischievous, and she was not cleaned up by the eldest lady, but she was actually afraid at this time.

The Queen Mother snorted lightly, put aside her messy thoughts, took out a small mahogany card from her arms, and rubbed her jade finger a few times on 'Zhengzheng Zhengzheng':

"It's not good to stay in Huainan, go to Chang'an to do something, why didn't Xiao Xiang marry her? She lacks a husband to discipline her......"

Qiao'e pursed her lips and smiled, knowing that this was angry talk, so she naturally didn't answer. Raising her eyes and looking at the small wooden card in the queen mother's hand a few times, Qiao'e's heart moved slightly, but she guessed the queen mother's mind - when she lived in the summer resort, every time the queen mother was bored, she would take out this small mahogany card and look at it, and then she would go up the mountain, and after coming back, the word "positive" on it would be a few more strokes, and her mood would be a little better.

Although she didn't understand the intention, after a few times, Qiao'e also understood the law, so she said softly: "The Queen Mother wants to go to Furong to burn incense again?" The hibiscus view is far away, I'm afraid it's not easy to pass......"

The Queen Mother pursed her lips, looked at the mahogany card in her hand, and for some reason, she felt a little panicked and upset, always thinking about something that should not be recalled.

"Hmm...... It's just a little boring...... Xu Buling seems to have not been in the palace for a long time, I heard that he has become 'Zhaohong Yimei', you will let him enter the palace in the next post, and the palace has something to ask him......"

Qiao'e was stunned for a moment and blinked: "Queen Mother, you saw Xu Shizi yesterday......"

“……”

The Queen Mother's eyes were stunned, and she remembered that she had just kissed Xu Buling at night on the Fairy Bridge yesterday, but ...... But how can I feel more bored than not seeing it, as if something is missing, but I can't say anything......

"Yes...... I've been upset lately, and I've been forgetting things, so let's do it another day......"

"Oh......"

Qiao'e hesitated, and suddenly had an idea: "Does the Queen Mother want to go out of the palace to go shopping?" I heard that Qujiangchi is preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival, and the singing and juggling are all there, but it is lively. ”

The Queen Mother sighed: "It's natural for me to go during the Dragon Boat Festival, how can I go now?" Stirring up the people. ”

Qiao'e shook her head, leaned into the queen mother's ear, and whispered a few words.

When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her eyes showed a little excitement: "After ten years in the palace, I forgot about this stubble, but fortunately you are clever, take a walk......

"The eldest lady hasn't entered the palace yet, do you want me to send a post to the house?"

"Go ......"
