"The Queen Mother..."

A tiny footsteps sounded outside the side hall.

After waiting for a long time, Xu Buling stood in front of the snow-white wall dotted with ink marks, and picked up his pen and wrote it on the lower right corner of the painted splashing ink peony:

“…Only the true national color of peony…”

Since I made a promise to Mrs. Lu before the end of the year, Xu Buling stayed at home to study this when she didn't go out for more than a month. I had some painting skills in my previous life. I wanted to draw a sketch for Mrs. Lu, but unfortunately I had forgotten it almost, so I could only change it to draw a simpler peony flower. The effect is good at present.

Stepping on—

A slight sound of footsteps sounded from outside the door behind.

Xu Buling looked unruly and drunk, threw the pen on the ground, raised his head and picked up the wine jar and took a big mouthful, then turned around and showed a bright smile, ready to leave a lifelong impression on the Queen Mother.

only……

"Ling'er!"

Mrs. Lu, wearing a blue long dress, stared at a pair of warm eyes, stood at the door, her hands folded around her waist tightly pinching the skirt, her mouth slightly opened, and her cheeks were full of shock and incredible.

“?!”

The nature of the mind that made the heart look calm was also shocked and shivered, and I felt a chill on my back, from the head to the toes.

Why did Aunt Lu kill him?!

My life is over!

Mrs. Lu's eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes swept over the ink-splashing peony on the wall, and then looked at Xu Buling, who was covered in ink. She stammered her lips for a long time, but she couldn't say a word.

Before Xu Buling was scared, he turned his mind and fell to the ground and smashed it. Then he walked forward with two steps: "Aunt Lu...hehe..." Then he became unstable and fell forward.

"ah--"

Mrs. Lu finally woke up and hurriedly stepped forward to hug Xu Buling, staggering by her heavy body. However, because of her experience last time, Xu Buling was still held back.

Mrs. Lu held Xu Buling's arm and slapped him in his chest twice with some annoyance:

"Why are you drinking so much? It's really..."

The palace maids also ran in a hurry, but didn't know how to help.

Xu Buling's drunken breath sprayed on Mrs. Lu's cheek: "Well... I've drunk too much..."

In public, Mrs. Lu didn't feel anything. She was like an elder supporting her younger generation, and she whispered a lesson:

"Stand up straight, in public..."

Unfortunately, this sentence obviously could not wake up the person who pretended to be drunk. Xu Buling looked confused, but he just leaned against Mrs. Lu with his eyes half closed and was covered in mud.

The Empress Dowager also walked into the hall at this time, looked up and saw the huge ink-splashing peonies on the wall, and a stunning look flashed in her eyes. Even Mrs. Lu ignored her, walked quickly to the wall, opened her mouth and observed it carefully, her eyes were even more shocking than Mrs. Lu.

Ink-splashing paintings are not without them. In terms of true standards, Xu Buling's paintings are definitely not as good as those of Xu Danqing, but which sentence below is "only the true color of the peony, the capital is moved when the flowers bloom" can be said to be the finishing touch. With the combination of the two, the artistic conception has been raised for countless levels. After watching for a long time, the empress dowager could not find any comments.

"This...this..."

Mrs. Lu was focused on Xu Buling, and then she looked at the peony on the wall again, looked at her lips for a moment, and said softly:

"Ling'er, did you draw it?"

Xu Buling wanted to cry without tears, and said "um" in a dizzy voice, and then laughed.

Mrs. Lu's eyes showed a little pride. She held Xu Buling and looked up. The more she looked, the more she liked him. She was a little surprised, but she was a little surprised why Xu Buling would draw this painting in the empress dowager's harem. Just as she was about to ask, the stunned empress dowager next to her spoke first.

"No, is this painted for me?"

The empress dowager curled her hands on her chest, and carefully observed the ink-splashing peonies on the wall from top to bottom, and there seemed to be a flash of light in her eyes.

Mrs. Lu's face froze, and the momentary movement was gone. With a little suspicion, she turned her eyes back to Xu Buling.

Could it be...

Xu Buling giggled and stopped talking.

Mrs. Lu took a breath. It was obviously for her to draw. Last time Ling'er said she wanted to draw for her...

Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu looked at the Queen Mother coldly:

"The Queen Mother is thinking too much, this is what Ling'er painted for me."

The voice is neither salty nor light, and it is also a bit sarcastic.

The empress dowager was slightly irritated and frowned slightly. She really liked this painting. She was interested in these things since she was a child. She was a little polite because of her kindness. She came to the door and forced to steal her things. Can't she be bullied?

The Queen Mother looked away from the painting, turned her head to look at Mrs. Lu, snorted lightly, and raised her hand to point to the wall:

"Is that so? Then you bring the painting back."

Ru Xing's eyes were a bit ridiculous and contemptuous, and she looked like a fool.

Mrs. Lu frowned and her expression suddenly became sank.

How could she bring it back when she painted it on the wall?

In the empty hall, the coldness suddenly came, as if it was back to the cold winter.

The palace maid outside was silent, and carefully lowered her head and moved her feet, and hid aside.

Mrs. Lu's chest was undulating, and her eyes were very annoyed. When she thought of the rouge box and snack box just now, she always felt something was wrong...

Mrs. Lu was silent for a moment, and suddenly she came back to her taste, her expression was full of incredibleness, so she raised her hand and patted Xu Buling's lapel twice:

"Ling'er? Ling'er? Did you draw this painting for me?"

Xu Buling fell into an ice cellar and felt that he could not die. This question was obviously not answered.

I said that I painted it for Mrs. Lu, even if today's efforts are in vain, let alone rolling my eyes, the empress dowager will be polite if the empress dowager does not allow him to rebuild the side palace.

And it was painted for the Empress Dowager...

Seeing Mrs. Lu's aggrieved and sad eyes, Xu Buling's bones were really weak. Even if the Dragon Locking Gu was worried, he could not say such hurtful words. With Mrs. Lu's nature, he would tear a hole in his heart, and he would probably never heal in his life.

Xu Buling laughed without any hesitation, closed his eyes and leaned on Mrs. Lu's shoulder.

Keep pretending to be dead!

Mrs. Lu was angry and annoyed. Seeing the empress dowager holding her arms and showing a playful smile, she had to raise her hand and shake Xu Buling a few times:

"Ling'er, you make the words clear, so you can save the empress dowager from misunderstanding...Ling'er..."

"Hehe... I've drunk too much..."

"You--you talk..."

The Empress Dowager stood beside her, knowing in her heart that this painting must have been painted for her. Xu Buling did not dare to speak, so she pretended to be stupid. Seeing Mrs. Lu chattering and forcing Xu Buling, the Empress Dowager also slandered her sarcastic thoughts and walked up to her and persuaded:

"Hongluan, forget it, Ling'er is drunk, you can send him back to rest."

When Mrs. Lu saw Xu Buling's unconsciousness and ignored her, she was obviously a little angry, but she could not lose her manners in front of the queen mother. She could only look at the wall reluctantly and help Xu Buling out, her voice was cold:

"Mrs. Today, Ling'er was drunk and messy, and dirty the walls of the house. I will call someone to come and wash it clean later."

The words clearly mean, ‘I can’t get it, don’t want it!’

Unfortunately, this place is the territory of the empress dowager and Mrs. Lu cannot make decisions.

The empress dowager hugged her arms, looking like she didn't mind: "It's okay, she's pretty. I'm not a fool who is not good at writing. How could I do anything to burn the piano and cook the crane?"

Although I am already very restrained, every sentence is still filled with a knife, and every word is heart-killing.

"you--"

He was compared to the insinuated image of "the foolish woman who burns the piano and cooks the crane". Mrs. Lu's face turned pale, but she had no reason to scold her. She had to support Xu Buling and walked out of the door with heavy steps.

The Empress Dowager watched the two stagger away, turned around and walked back to the portrait, raised her eyes and looked at the huge peony flowers on the wall. Her red dress was extremely eye-catching in the cold palace, as if she had a touching color to the ink peonies.

Qiao'e and a few palace maids walked up to her carefully and admired her with the Queen Mother.

“So beautiful…”

“It’s so big…”

The Empress Dowager seemed to have never heard of the words around her, and she had a little bit of separation in her eyes. She raised her hand and touched her lips, making her feel distracted.

Qiao'e looked at her for a few times and felt something was wrong with the Queen Mother today. It seemed like... it was like in just one morning that she had cleaned up all the boredom of the deep palace for the past ten years, and returned to the appearance of her little daughter when she was waiting for her name...

Qiao'e hesitated for a while and still reminded:

"Empress Dowager, what should I do with this painting?"

The queen mother came to her senses, turned her head and looked in the direction where Xu Buling left, and shook her head:

"Save it... don't let the palace know, lock the door in the future..."

"oh……"

Thank you for your mother for saying that I am like Sanlu boss!
