Suzhou City is located in the northwest of the country, close to the desert and the Gobi Desert, but as a gathering place for residents, it is impossible to go out to the desert, there are springs underground, and there are two big rivers outside the city, and the degree of greening is still relatively high.

There is a mandarin duck lake in the east of the city, divided into two parts in the south, like the mandarin ducks squatting together, there is a huge flat land with a length and width of nearly five miles between the two lakes, surrounded by water on three sides, there is a wall built in the direction of facing the sand sea, it is regarded as the back garden of the Suwang Mansion, and there is also a plaque of 'Xiaojian Sea' hanging on it.

The whole Xiaojian Sea is like an isolated island surrounded by a lake, except for the small wooden house, there is only a sea of flowers with no end in sight, planted with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, and the scenery is completely different every month.

The end of June is not as good as the spring of March, but countless jasmine flowers bloom at the same time, turning the entire sea of flowers into a snowy field. The mausoleum of Princess Su was built on the shore of Mandarin Duck Lake, and you can see the flowers blooming here day and night.

The carriage stopped, Xu Buling got out of the carriage and stretched out his hand.

Mrs. Lu Si Wenwen held Xu Buling's arm, and looked at the endless sea of flowers in front of her with a little amazement:

"Ling'er, I heard about this place when I was a child, I thought it was King Su's exaggeration, but I didn't expect to really build such a big garden......"

Xiao Xiang'er and Xu Buling kept their distance, jumped down from the other side of the carriage, walked to the path at the entrance of the sea of flowers, took a turn with a red dress, and took a deep breath of the jasmine fragrance that filled the world, and nodded with satisfaction:

"This is a bit of a 'Heavenly Incense Array penetrating Chang'an'...... No, 'the heavenly incense array penetrates Suzhou, and the city is full of bright light armor'! ”

Mrs. Lu walked up: "Xiang'er, where did you hear this poem?" The cupola incense array penetrates Chang'an...... Sounds very atmospheric. ”

Xu Buling's face stiffened, and he raised his head and said, "I'll appreciate it later, the road is a little far." ”

Xiao Xiang'er also stopped her voice and was about to follow along, but as if she remembered something, she paused and looked up at the wooden house in the center of the sea of flowers in the distance:

"Go, I'...... I'll just wait over there. ”

Mrs. Lu frowned slightly: "It's all here, it's too rude not to worship......

Xiao Xiang'er's face was a little strange, she thought about it, and glared at Mrs. Lu:

"I ...... How do I get there? Give him an antidote...... In what capacity did it pass? ”

Mrs. Lu thought of this stubble, pondered slightly, and seemed to be a little embarrassed to go to the mausoleum to worship, so she didn't say much, and took Xu Buling to look at Mandarin Duck Lake together.

Xiao Xiang'er breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked towards the center of the sea of flowers.

Xu Buling has not officially married Xiao Xiang'er, and he did not force it when he saw this, and walked side by side with Mrs. Lu on the dirt path between the sea of flowers.

The flowers are submerged, the road is barely visible, and the bees and butterflies are flying in the early morning sun, making the sea of flowers look a little dreamy.

Mrs. Lu pursed her lips and walked away, looked back at Xiao Xiang'er, and for some reason, she also began to swallow slowly, and hesitated: "Ling'er, I didn't discipline you well, the princess won't blame me, right?" ……”

Xu Buling smiled: "Aunt Lu taught you very well, how can my mother blame you." ”

Mrs. Lu pursed her lips and thought for a moment: "You are usually very good, but you love to drink......

"The lock dragon Gu has to be pressed by wine, and now he has drunk less."

"It's not that you won't be allowed to drink, huh...... When you're drunk, you're going to get drunk...... It's ......"

Mrs. Lu felt a little guilty, folded her hands on her waist and walked slowly, and remembered the scene when she was pressed and rubbed by Xu Buling in the past, she used to just think that the child was drunk, nothing, but now that she thinks about it, she always feels a little sorry, hmm...... Guards steal from themselves!

Xu Buling knowingly asked, "I'm going to go crazy drunk?" I haven't heard of it. ”

Mrs. Lu sighed and turned her head to look at Xu Buling: "You are drunk, naturally you don't remember, I am your aunt, I should have disciplined you well on behalf of your father, but ...... Forget it, you must not drink too much in the future, drinking and making mistakes......"

"I'm drunk, could it be that I've done something?"

"It's nothing, I'm drunk, so naturally there are some things that don't behave properly......"

Mrs. Lu couldn't say anything, so she didn't dwell on this matter anymore, turned her eyes to look at the sea of flowers, and sighed with some emotion: "It's the first time I've come, and so many years have passed...... When I was a child in Huainan, I was only seven or eight years old, and your mother went to Jinling and was a guest at the Lu family. At that time, I was young and naughty, pestering your mother all day long, and showing her my collection of paper kites and ceramic dolls, and asking her if she was envious...... Alas~ Your mother didn't bother me, so she rode me around on horseback, which was good to me. I also want to be a chivalrous woman, so I pulled your mother to burn yellow paper to worship like the people in the rivers and lakes, and your mother agreed......

…… Later, your mother went to the capital, I talked to my family, and I also ran to Chang'an, at that time your mother and your father met, your father always annoyed me, and separated me, I was not convinced, and followed your mother every day......

…… It's a pity, it didn't take long for your father and mother to go back to Suzhou, I wanted to take some time to come here to have a look, but I didn't expect to really come, you are so old......"

Xu Buling pondered slightly: "Hmm...... At that time, my mother just treated Aunt Lu as a child, and she couldn't say that she couldn't be a junior......"

Mrs. Lu glanced at Xu Buling with disgust, slightly dissatisfied: "No matter how young I am, I have burned yellow paper, how can I be a junior...... Forget it, don't talk about it......"

Mrs. Lu obviously had something on her mind, so she didn't let Xu Buling hold her arms, folded her hands on her waist to make a dignified and quiet appearance, and walked behind Xu Buling.

Xu Buling took a breath lightly, thought about it, and suddenly stopped:

"It's a bit far, I'll carry you on my back."

Mrs. Lu looked at Xu Buling, who was half-squatting in front of her, subconsciously looked left and right, and after reacting, she pursed her lips again:

"Don't mess around......"

"It's not the first time."

Xu Buling's smile was friendly, and he directly carried Mrs. Lu on his back with a backhand, and galloped quickly in the sea of flowers.

"Ahh......hh Ling'er! ”

Mrs. Lu was angry and anxious, obviously a little resistant, and she didn't know what she was afraid of, so she raised her hand and patted Xu Buling on the shoulder, and said a few useless words, and she was helpless......

Jingle Bell –

The wind chimes swayed gently in the never-ending breeze, and it was close to noon, but the sea of flowers near the lake was not the slightest bit stuffy.

Xiao Xiang'er walked to the front of the wooden house, wearing a red dress and standing solemnly among the endless snow-white jasmine flowers, which was very much in the taste of competing with a hundred flowers.

There is only this lonely wooden house in the Nuoda Flower Sea, which is like a small island in the sea, isolated from the world, except for the sound of wind chimes.

Xiao Xiang'er lifted her skirt, walked to the door of the wooden house, and looked at the terrace under the eaves - reclining chairs, cradles, and wind chimes were quietly placed in the distance.

After looking around the terrace a few times, Xiao Xiang'er sat down on one of the recliners, supported the armrest of the chair with her elbows, looked at the small cradle with wind chimes hanging next to her, raised her hand and shook it gently.

Squeak, squeak, squeak-

The wind chimes were tied up without making a sound, and the wooden cradle was wobbly with clean bedding inside.

Even if it was the first time to come, Xiao Xiang'er could imagine a mother sitting here, looking at the white and chubby little doll in the cradle and smiling.

Xiao Xiang'er held her chin with her hand, staring at the cradle intently, for some reason, she suddenly felt a little envious.

Ten years in the deep palace, as the queen mother, she enjoys all the wealth in the world, but she doesn't live like a woman. Stay in the palace every day like the walking dead, without parents, husbands, and children by your side, and you can see the end of the days ahead.

I have envied the life outside the wall many times, and I have envied those little couples in the market, who work hard to make a living, and may be very hard and tired, but at least there is a hope, looking forward to a good life, and looking forward to the growth of their children......

And she is in the palace, except for looking forward to death, she has nothing else to do, it can be said that she died from the day she married into the palace.

It is common for princes and generals to marry each other, and most of the time they can live well, but once they are not good, they are far more miserable than ordinary women.

As long as there is a conflict of interest in the family, it is not uncommon for the in-laws and their mothers to fight, and for the husband and father to fight, and the woman who marries out is just an identity, and it doesn't matter whether she lives or dies.

Since Xiao Xiang'er married into the palace and became the queen mother, her mission to the family has been completed, and the only thing left to do is not to cause trouble to the family before she dies, this kind of life has long been enough.

Now that she faked her death and escaped, even if Xiao Xianger didn't admit it, she felt that she was lucky to be able to live again with a different identity. But after all, her surname is Xiao, and this surname carries too much glory, and she can't tolerate the slightest disdain for future generations.

She dares to love and hate, but she is not a person who abandons her family and disregards her, otherwise she would not have agreed to enter the palace back then.

Now that the Queen Mother is dead, she is still alive.

When Xiao Xiang'er thinks of her sister and brother who are far away in the world, she will blame herself very much, after they know about it, they should be very disappointed and disgusted, I am afraid they will not recognize her as a sister.

The dignified Huainan Xiao family's concubine, if she dies, she will die, and she will steal her life......

But if a woman can live like a woman, who is willing to die......

Xiao Xiang'er lay on the recliner, stunned, took out the small mahogany card she carried with her, rubbed the handwriting on it, and sighed softly.

Detoxification......

If you don't like it, how can you detoxify him......

If there is no identity of the queen mother, she should be the happiest woman in the world, and a few years later, I am afraid that she can sit among the flowers like this, shout "Xianggong" openly, and then look at the little doll in the cradle together.

Xiao Xiang'er raised her eyes to look at the small cradle, with a little warmth and longing in her eyes.

Xu Buling was lying in this small cradle back then, maybe he was also white and fat, with small arms and legs, and he couldn't speak, so he laughed when he teased him.

Who would have thought that such a small doll would be able to hold her on the table and stuff her tail after more than ten years......

"Whew—"

Xiao Xiang'er woke up suddenly, raised her hand and slapped herself, her face turned red, and she scolded secretly: There is something wrong, what the hell are you thinking......

After such a break, Xiao Xiang'er stood up and stayed away from the small cradle, and she couldn't be warm anymore.

After waiting for a while, there was a "Yaya-Ling'er" from outside the terrace! You run slower ......" sound.

Xiao Xiang'er looked up, but saw that in the sea of flowers at the end of her vision, a man dressed in white like snow, carrying a woman with a flowery face and a moon-like appearance on his back, was flying among thousands of flowers.

Xiao Xiang'er stood on the terrace, put on a dignified and serious appearance, looked at Xu Buling and Mrs. Lu, who were getting closer and closer, pursed her lips, and wanted to ridicule her best friend who was 'I am your aunt' all day, but in the end she didn't speak. After all, compared to her, Hongluan's life is not much better, a little warmth is not easy to come by, and it should not be broken......

"Ling'er! You let me down...... I'm angry! ”

Mrs. Lu saw Xiao Xiang'er looking at her with a strange expression, her face suddenly turned red, and she struggled to jump off, but she was still carried on her back and jumped onto the terrace.

was forcibly carried back and forth, Mrs. Lu was quite embarrassed, and was busy making excuses for herself:

"The road is not easy to walk, Ling'er is carrying me, Xiang'er, don't misunderstand......"

Xiao Xiang'er half-squinted, and snorted lightly: "The juniors are carrying the elders, what is there to misunderstand." ”

Xu Buling chuckled lightly and jumped off the terrace again: "Yes, Queen Mother, I'll take you around on my back?" ”

Xiao Xiang'er pursed her lips and looked at Mrs. Lu next to her.

Mrs. Lu was so confused that she couldn't explain it herself, so she was jealous, so she walked to the wooden house in a hurry: "I'll clean up, you guys can go shopping by yourself." So saying, he ran into the cabin.

Xiao Xiang'er shook her head, walked to the edge of the terrace, opened her hands, and jumped straight down.

Xu Buling caught it steadily, hugged his hips and ran back to the sea of flowers.

Xiao Xiang'er lay on Xu Buling's back, and didn't care about the thief's hand, looked back at the cabin that was getting farther and farther away, and asked:

"What was Hongluan's reaction when he worshiped the princess?"

Xu Buling found a shady place in the sea of flowers and stopped, directly smashed the flowers with his hands and trampled on a flower, and then put Xiao Xiang'er on it:

"What else can be the reaction, the rules are in order, I said a lot of words of remembrance, and I cried, and it took a long time to coax it."

"yes......"

Xiao Xianger sat side by side with Xu Buling in the sea of flowers, still with a dignified temperament.

Xu Buling sat in the sea of flowers, recalling the scene of jumping here in his childhood, brewed a little, suddenly raised his hand and hugged Xiao Xiang'er's shoulder, tilted his head and chuckled:

"Do you want to detoxify?"

“……”

Xiao Xiang'er frowned slightly, pushed her hand away, and originally wanted to say, 'Not enough to eat?' But in the end, he didn't say anything, just hugged his knees with a low expression, and said softly:

"I don't want to detoxify today, let's chat."

Xu Buling raised his eyebrows, lay down directly in the sea of flowers, spread his arms, and then patted his arms.

is already an 'old husband and wife', Xiao Xiang'er doesn't need to teach, so she naturally lies in the sea of flowers, using Xu Buling's arm as a pillow, looking at the clouds in the sky:

"Xu Buling, you ...... What do you think of me? ”

Xu Buling folded a blade of grass in his mouth and chuckled:

"Medicine."

“……”

Xiao Xiang'er squinted slightly, smashed Xu Buling's waist with her elbow, and said softly:

"I swore that I would not be ashamed of the ancestors of the Xiao family...... I'm really ready to save you with my life, not kidding......"

Xu Buling turned his head to look at the beautiful woman with a slightly depressed expression:

"I know, so I took you to Suzhou, the Queen Mother is dead, and it has nothing to do with you."

Xiao Xiang'er shook her head: "My surname is Xiao, and I am not a woman full of love and love...... Although it does interest you a bit......"

Xu Buling was stunned for a moment, propped up his body and looked at Xiao Xiang'er with a calm face:

"Finally willing to admit it when he sobered up?"

Xiao Xiang'er's expression was not twisted for a minute, as calm and atmospheric as ever, and said softly:

"I, Xiao Xiang'er, am not some unenlightened woman. If you like it, you like it, and if you don't like it, you won't sacrifice yourself to save you, and there's no point in deceiving yourself...... However, if I like it, I like it, my surname Xiao is my surname Xiao, and the women of my Xiao family have never lost to men, and they will practice their words......"

Xu Buling was a little helpless: "This time I also helped the Xiao family a lot, if you save me, you will naturally help me." If you don't save me, Song Ji won't be able to please the Xiao family, so you are not sorry for the family, but you are a great hero of the family, and it can't be the ancestors of the Xiao family, who deliberately guided you to save me......"

Xiao Xiang'er frowned lightly and thought for a moment: "Don't make excuses for me, if my sister knows that I do this kind of thing, with her temper, she will have to expel me from the house...... This is a humiliating thing, I don't die, I can't get over it in my heart, it's not that I'm afraid of anyone......"

Xu Buling blinked: "Your sister won't treat you well, she is so smart, she should forgive you." ”

Xiao Xiang'er clenched her hands tightly, shook her head and said, "How is it possible, such an ugly thing...... Alas, I'm still dead......"

Xu Buling chuckled lightly and lay down again: "I still have to detoxify seventy times, let's put it aside for now, and I'll talk about it when it's done." ”

"I'll kill myself when I'm done......"

Xiao Xiang'er muttered softly, and didn't want to say more about this kind of annoying matter, so she turned her head to look at Xu Buling's side face, and said softly:

"Xu Buling, do you like Hongluan?"

“……”

Xu Buling held the blade of grass in his mouth and squinted at the baby - it didn't look like jealousy, but the woman asked this......

"She's my aunt......"

"Phew—"

Xiao Xiang'er frowned, turned over and lay on Xu Buling's chest, and looked at it condescendingly:

"You think Hongu is blind? I have long seen that something is wrong with you, last time in the summer resort, I was drunk with Hongluan, what did you do? ”

Xu Buling blinked: "Detoxification ......"

Xiao Xiang'er raised her hand and slammed it on his chest: "You treat me as stupid?" Then I remembered that you had done something unseemly......"

！！

Xu Buling took a breath and his expression was flat: "You remember wrong...... Eh! Don't bite. ”

Xiao Xiang'er snorted lightly and said seriously: "Say, when are you going to confess to Hongluan?" ”

Xu Buling chuckled: "Aunt Lu is too conservative, I'm afraid to say it......"

Xiao Xiang'er's face changed, and her eyes were full of astonishment: "You...... You've actually touched Hongluan? Are you human? ”

？？

Xu Buling's face darkened, and he spread his hand slightly: "Baby, are you talking to me?" ”

Xiao Xiang'er sat up, frowning in disbelief: "Xu Buling, I thought you were a humble gentleman, just bully me, you dare to mess around when Hongluan is drunk?" You...... No, I have to tell Hongluan ......"

As he spoke, he prepared to get up and complain.

Xu Buling coughed lightly and raised his hand to hold her: "Baby, don't make trouble, something will happen." ”

Xiao Xiang'er frowned, thought about it, and said coldly: "Xu Buling, I give you detoxification is a great righteousness, not out of personal feelings, but you are a man, accept me to detoxify you, it shouldn't be as simple as detoxification, you like me, right?" ”

"That's nature."

"Then why did you only bully me and protect Hongluan all the time? Do you like me a little more, or do you like Hongluan a little more? ”

Xu Buling: "......"

Xiao Xiang'er squinted slightly: "You don't bully Hongluan, you only bully me, it's obviously ......"

"I didn't bully you."

"Phew—why didn't I see you make a fox tail for Hongluan? I beg you if you don't stop, I don't believe Hongluan begging you, and you can't bear to ......"

"Detoxification and detoxification ......"

"You're dead...... Ah~ Brother Ling, I won't make trouble......"

"Good."

Xu Buling stopped at this time, pulled Xiao Xiang'er up, turned around and said, "Go back, Aunt Lu should be in a hurry." ”

Xiao Xiang'er had a little annoyance in her eyes, patted her skirt, snorted softly to show her disbelief, and then ran quickly to the wooden house, for fear of being caught......
