The moon is on the branches.

The empress dowager was dizzy and half asleep while closing her eyes, she seemed to notice that there were more people beside her. She opened her eyes slightly and looked as white as jade, and she looked as if she had walked out of a painting, and she was holding a candied haw in her hand.

"Brother Ling~..."

He was crying in a low voice like a dream, and the Queen Mother's mind was elsewhere, and it might have just been an illusion. She bit her fingers, her eyes were very charming, and she stood up slightly, with a little "Hurry up, hurry up."

Xu Buling blinked, but he didn't expect it to be so coincidental. After thinking about it, he leaned over and came to the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother's breathing was a little hot, and she took the initiative to kiss Xu Buling's lips, but...

This feels so real... !!

The empress dowager's dizzy eyes gradually condensed, and her mind was retracted. She blinked her apricot eyes, first with a little doubt, then her face turned red, and then she turned pale.

"ah"

The Queen Mother suddenly pushed Xu Buling away, turned up and closed her red skirt and hugged her arms, staring at the man in front of her in a furious manner:

"You... Xu Buling! You are so brave, you actually... actually..."

My face sometimes turned red and sometimes white, and I tried hard to be majestic and angry, but I couldn't hide the shame and embarrassment in my eyes... What was I doing just now... I must have been hit by his magic...

Xu Buling knew that this would happen, so he chuckled, sat next to him, and handed over the candied haws in his hand:

"Come to the door rashly, please forgive me!"

The Queen Mother's heart and body were all over the place. She was embarrassed when she was caught in the "scandal" and she was not in the mood to chat with Xu Buling, and said anxiously:

"You...you get out of here...get out now..."

Xu Buling was not angry at all, sat closer a little, and said softly:

"All come..."

"Pooh"

When the empress dowager heard this, her legs were weak, she moved a little to the side, gritted her silver teeth, and raised her hand to point outside:

"You go, I will help you detoxify... It's kind-hearted. When should I detoxify depends on what I mean. I will come over if I say hello and don't call me. What do you think of me as? Your... yours won't do it! Get out of here!"

The almond eyes were wide open, trying hard to make a fierce look, and the posture was indeed leaning against the soft couch, looking scared.

Xu Buling looked a little funny. He raised his hand and held his slender wrist, looking at his white fingers with some water stains.

The queen mother was stunned and reacted and quickly wanted to withdraw her fingers, but she never thought that she would be bitten by the stinky man in front of her.

"Ah-Stop it... You... I'm wrong, don't do these..."

The Queen Mother was crazy and couldn't pull her fingers back, so she could only look at Xu Buling with a blushing face, with a bit of begging for mercy.

Xu Buling was satisfied only then, letting the Empress Dowager go, sitting upright on the soft couch, holding the bright red candied haws and swaying:

"I ran a long way to buy it, and I'll leave after eating."

“…”

The queen mother stared at me, how could she not understand Xu Buling’s meaning? If she could leave honestly tonight, she would write her name upside down...

"You...you are not allowed to come like this in the future. Just this time, you dare to take action again. I...I will commit suicide now..."

"Okay, come here next time and knock on the door."

“…”

The empress dowager gritted her teeth, perhaps trying to expose what happened just now, sat upright and looked at the candied haws, and said coldly: "I am not a three-year-old child, so I don't eat these things..."

Xu Buling nodded, raised his hand and stuffed the candied haws into his mouth, and bit off one.

The Empress Dowager naturally would not be subjected to this provocation. She snorted lightly and didn't care at all. But immediately she discovered that Xu Buling came over with a bite of the candied haws.

"!"

The empress dowager suffered a loss and quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth, frowned and said in a muffled voice: "You are arrogant... I..." As she said that, she was about to get up and get the poisonous wine she was ready at any time.

Xu Buling smiled slightly, but he was not in a hurry. He inserted the candied haws between the fruit plates on the table and leaned honestly on the soft collapse, as if he was "not moving by a gentleman".

The queen mother was relieved and moved her buttocks to the other end of the soft couch.

The room was very quiet, and the two of them were sitting on the couch, and there was a "big job" later, so the atmosphere naturally became more and more bizarre.

The queen mother tried to look coldly, looking around the room with her eyes, as if she was looking for topics to talk about to ease the atmosphere.

Xu Buling stared at the side face under the candlelight, thought for a moment, and spoke first:

"The Empress Dowager went to the palace back then. Was she familiar with Empress Cui and King Yan Song Yu?"

The empress dowager frowned and glanced at Xu Buling. After thinking about it, she rolled over the bed sheets and did not avoid it too much. She raised her hand to tidy up her scattered dress and said calmly:

"My son and daughter-in-law are naturally familiar with each other."

“…”

Xu Buling felt strange when he heard this. Although the Empress Dowager was only one year older than Empress Cui and a teenager younger than Song Yu, it was indeed the case.

"Uh... I've been to the capital for more than a year and I don't know much about these things. Anyway, the night is long, why don't the queen mother tell me?"

Seeing that the empress dowager's hair was a little messy, Xu Buling made it in between speaking, raised his hand and pulled out the golden hairpin, and then picked up the comb.

The empress dowager looked alert and found that Xu Buling was just combing her hair. She hesitated for a while and did not refuse to turn people thousands of miles away. She just turned her back:

"There is nothing to say... Since Empress Cui entered the palace, she has stayed in the Lizheng Hall and never went out. She never went out during festivals. I have never seen her in Changle Palace several times. I just heard from the palace maids that Empress Cui was a little bored and ignored anyone, and even the emperor... In the end, she might have gotten sick and left at a young age..."

Xu Buling held all the black hair and sighed softly.

The Queen Mother is actually talkative. She has been in the deep palace for ten years. As long as she meets someone who can speak, she will talk for a long time. At this time, she saw Xu Buling willing to listen, even if she was not very willing, she still couldn't help but continue talking about the past:

"...The King of Yan is very talented and has always been highly praised. But...ah, but he is a scholar after all. I once chatted with the Empress Jiujie. When the Empress Jiujie said that the late emperor was still alive, he said privately, 'Everything can be done, but I can't be the king alone'. But this statement must not be put on the table and said that it hurts the King of Yan's heart... The King of Yan actually has self-knowledge. After the late emperor passed away, he directly gave up the throne on the grounds that "can't be enough to inherit the throne"... But I didn't expect that he didn't even want the throne in the end. He went to the Imperial College for so many years to teach, well... He deserves the reputation of a true gentleman..."

The Empress Dowager spoke intermittently, on the one hand, it was a memory, on the other hand, the man breathed inadvertently and felt a little strange, his cheeks became hot involuntarily, and his thoughts kept floating elsewhere.

Xu Buling stood up with his hair and leaned into her ear: "A real gentleman... I'm afraid I can't afford to be it?"

The empress dowager trembled and turned her head slightly annoyed: "Do you still know? You...you are just a villain...stay away from this palace..."

Xu Buling frowned slightly and asked knowingly: "Before I came here just now, the Queen Mother didn't mean to let me stay away..."

The Empress Dowager's face suddenly showed some embarrassment and said coldly:

"I just fell asleep and dreamed."

"Who is dreaming? The word "brother" sounds a little familiar..."

"Happy not to order!"

The Queen Mother stared at her big eyes, obviously she was forced to do nothing.

Xu Buling stopped and apologized softly: "Okay, okay, don't say it anymore... Detoxify..."

The queen mother bit her lower lip and her eyes were full of anger. She felt a little deeper behind her, and she wanted to push her down. She said seriously: "If you want to detoxify, detoxify, don't say that there are any... Otherwise I won't help you..."

"Okay... let me know my mistake..."
