While chatting, Xu Buling put his legs under the table again.

The Queen Mother obviously saw it, but did not kick him again. She just looked at the snack box, not knowing what she was thinking, and her eyes were full of pride and reconciliation.

Xu Buling shook his head secretly. After all, he was a woman who was not very familiar with the world. No matter how smart he was, it was useless. The trick was still a trick...

The Queen Mother was in a much better mood and temporarily threw away the bellyband and looked at the rouge box on the table:

"New things have appeared in Xianzhizhai?"

Xu Buling smiled brightly, picked up two boxes of rouge and put the "Red Orchid Nectar" in front of the Queen Mother:

"The new fat released this year, but there is no big change."

The queen mother picked it up, opened the lid and looked at it for a few seconds, then leaned over to her nose and smelled it, nodded slightly, and looked at another box in Xu Buling's hand, a little curious:

"Is this?"

Then Xu Buling picked up the 'camellum fat' recommended by Aunt Lu, opened it and placed it in front of the Queen Mother:

"When I was choosing in Xianzhizhai, I happened to see this 'camellum fat'. The price is not high. However, in my opinion, the color of the 'Red Orchid Nectar' is a bit brighter. Although it looks very beautiful, it does not match the dignified and elegant temperament of the empress dowager. Moreover, the color is too bright and the color of the empress dowager himself, which is a bit of a domineering...

...and this 'camellia fat' is different, just like the woman who picks lotus: the lotus leaf and silk skirt is cut in color, and the lotus is spread to both sides of the face. When you enter the pool, you can't see it. When you hear the song, you will feel someone coming. It is clear but not evil, plain but not light, and it complements the queen mother's face, without deliberate embellishment. It is better to use this."

“!?”

The gentle words came into his ears, and the queen mother was gradually stunned on the spot, staring at Xu Buling with beautiful eyes.

Xu Buling, as always, put the rouge box in front of the Queen Mother. Seeing that the Queen Mother was a little stunned, frowned slightly in confusion:

"The Queen Mother?"

"……oh!"

The Queen Mother came back to her senses, her eyes full of surprise and inexplicableness. She subconsciously raised her hand and hooked her hair in her ears and sat up straight for a few minutes:

"Not bad... the lotus leaves and silk skirt is cut in color, and the lotus is spreading to both sides of the face. It is invisible to see it when you hear the song. When you hear the song, you will feel that someone is coming... The poem is also good..."

The Queen Mother pretended to be calm, but she couldn't hide the loss in her eyes. She was obviously still recalling the words and poems just now.

Xu Buling laughed secretly in his heart, took the opportunity to sit closer, looked straight at the empress dowager's beautiful face, and turned his head to look:

"Does the Queen Mother want to try it?"

“…try…”

The queen mother felt a little restless. She looked at Xu Buling and then at the rouge box. Her mind was messy. She didn't know what she thought, but she actually followed her plan and picked up the lip pencil in the box and looked for the bronze mirror left and right.

Xu Buling shook his head and chuckled, raised his hand and took the red brush with a little bit of fat. He sat closer, his eyes were pure and flawless, and he put the lip pen to the empress dowager's lips.

“…”

The beautiful woman in a red dress was like fire, sat on the carpet, raised her head and stared blankly at the beautiful young man in front of her. With the magnificent but not at all popular, the scene was breathtaking.

The empress dowager's clear spring-like eyes obviously showed some confusion, but for some reason it didn't move. After a little hesitation, the tip of the pen touched the lips, gently and delicately lit the lip gloss.

"Hey!..."

The cold feeling finally made the Queen Mother come back to her senses.

Reason finally gained the upper hand and suppressed hundreds of emotions in the sea of ​​heart.

The queen mother leaned back slightly to avoid the brush, covered her lips with her red sleeves, glanced at Xu Buling in a panic, thought for a while, and laughed again with a sneer:

"It's neither big nor small, that man is painting a woman's lips, it's really..."

Xu Buling didn't be arrogant or impatient, and naturally put down his lip pencil: "Actually, it's nothing. She often helps Aunt Lu comb her hair, and she doesn't care about this."

The queen mother held her hands tightly, shook her head, covered the rouge box, and smiled dignifiedly:

"Let's have a meal, I like it very much, I'm interested..."

Xu Buling nodded and chuckled, picked up the warm wine pot, and began to pour and drink it by himself.

Today I brought two jars of wine, produced in the Jiangnan water town, apricot blossom wine, which is considered fruit wine. It tastes soft and has a floral fragrance. It is the most popular among women. It tastes soft and has no strength. It still has some strength but is not big, and it is purely used to cheer up.

The empress dowager usually doesn't drink alcohol, but after a few persuasion, she didn't refuse. She accompanied Xu Buling to drink with her small mouth, and her expression still looked like an elder should have, asking about her well-being and having family worries, but she just had nothing to say to her.

In the main hall where doors and windows were closed, two people sat together without anyone disturbing them, and the atmosphere kept wandering between distantness and harmony.

Soon after three rounds of drinking, the Queen Mother's pretty face was slightly slim and was born with a lot of juice. She covered her forehead with a layer of sweat, her eyes were like a pool of clear water, and she still pretended to be calm and generous.

And Xu Buling...

thump--

A muffled sound rang in the courtyard.

After Xu Buling finished drinking a pot of broken jade, he pretended to be unable to drink, shook it drunk a few times, and lay on the carpet with all his backs.

“??”

The Empress Dowager was talking about family matters, but when she saw Xu Buling lying down, she blinked her eyes and realized a little:

"Why are you lying down again..."

The empress dowager thought about it, climbed from the carpet to Xu Buling, held Xu Buling's wrist and took the pulse, and felt it carefully. After no problems, she breathed a light breath and leaned over to look at Xu Buling's eyebrows:

"Ling'er?Ling'er?"

He called out a few softly, but Xu Bu Ling had no reaction.

The Empress Dowager was silent for a moment, sat side by Xu Buling, lowered her head and looked at her carefully, and looked at her for a long time, but she didn't know what she was looking at.

The wide courtyard was silent, with only two steady breaths.

It was unknown how long it took for the empress dowager to come back to her senses and raised her hand to scrape Xu Buling's tall nose, but she finally stopped after reaching her halfway.

After hesitating for a little, the Queen Mother still looked dignified and grand, calling out loudly:

"Qiao'e, send the prince to the side hall for a rest."

"promise!"

Qiao'e and a few palace maids pushed open the door and came in. Seeing Xu Buling lying down again, she carried the unconscious Xu Buling out with a little smile.

The Queen Mother sat alone at the table, looking at the box of rouge on it, and then looking at the sky outside.

It was not yet noon, and it was still early.

"The lotus leaves and silk skirt are cut in color, and the lotus is spreading to both sides of the face. It is impossible to see it when you hear the song. When you hear someone coming..."

A soft murmur sounded in the hall.

The empress dowager hesitated for a while, but still couldn't help it. She got up and walked to the soft couch, picked up the bronze mirror that she had been with her for many years, ran to the table and sat down, opened the rouge box, and carefully described it in front of the bronze mirror.

The red jade half opens the Bodhisattva's face, and the cinnabar is thick with willow branches.

After the empress dowager finished dressing up, she looked at her cheeks in the bronze mirror with satisfaction.

The mature and beautiful woman in the mirror is still beautiful. Unfortunately, she is no longer the little girl who is as old as the hairdresser. Even though she has thousands of charms, who can appreciate it...

The queen mother looked blankly in the mirror, and her expression, which was originally a little proud, gradually became dull.
