Heavy snow covered the city, and the towering imperial city was covered with a layer of snow quilt. In the corridor between the vermilion walls, Mrs. Lu and the Queen Mother stood side by side, wearing firefox shawls, like two balls of peonies blooming in the snow. The Queen Mother had been in a high position for a long time, and there was a little more noble between her eyebrows, while Mrs. Lu was gentler.

"Hongluan, you asked you to discipline Xu Buling, but you didn't seem to care. A few days ago, the Dragon Song Poetry Conference beat Xiao Ting again. Xiao Ting is Xu Buling's elder, how could he be so ruthless?"

The empress dowager's tone was serious, but because of her age, she looked more like a sister who complained and refused to listen to advice.

Xiao Ting followed behind, nodding like a chicken pecking at the rice: "Yes, I endured it again and again, and I continued to endure it, but I wasn't afraid of him..."

"Shut up." The queen mother's eyes sank slightly and she glared at the cowardly nephew.

Mrs. Lu didn't want to look at Xiao Ting at all, but just nodded as usual: "I will be punished when I go back, so I'll be relieved." However, looking at Mrs. Lu's expression, I obviously didn't take it seriously.

The empress dowager said a few words, but when she saw that Mrs. Lu didn't take it seriously, she had to give up. Ten years ago, she was sent to the palace to be the queen by her elder brother Xiao Chuyang. As a result, she died as soon as she put on the phoenix crown, she became the queen. The emperor who called her "mother queen" was about ten years older than her and could not control anyone at all.

After a little knocking and making gestures, the empress dowager left with the palace maid. Mrs. Lu bowed to see him off. When the empress dowager's charming figure disappeared into the palace wall, the expression on her face calmed down and she frowned and looked at Xiao Ting.

Xiao Ting was wearing thin clothes, his hands were trembling with his sleeves. Seeing Mrs. Lu's gaze, he suddenly became innocent:

"Sister-in-law, I was beaten."

Mrs. Lu snorted faintly, turned around and walked out of the palace: "But it is your junior, what's wrong with hitting you? What's wrong with the child being naughty..."

“…”

Xiao Ting was stunned and trotted behind him: "Xu Buling is still a month older than me. He is a child, I..."

"You are an elder, you are a mature and stingy and idle all day long. What kind of man is the Xiao family?"

Mrs. Lu looked like "I just favored Xu Buling", and was not afraid of anyone seeing it at all.

Xiao Ting had known Mrs. Lu's temper for a long time and sighed quite hurt: "I didn't come to the palace to complain..."

Mrs. Lu had a little contempt in her eyes: "Then what are you doing when you enter the palace? Do you have any other important things?"

Xiao Tingsongsong's shoulders: "My decent son of the Xiao family is not that kind of villain? Today I went to the palace to say hello to Eunuch Jia. Last time at the Longyin Poetry Festival, I wrote a masterpiece. Song Jijiu praised me for writing well, so I must praise me by name..."

Mrs. Lu narrowed her eyes slightly: "Song and Baiqing praised you? Have you even gone to buy poetry?"

Xiao Ting's face froze, and then he showed a little dissatisfaction: "Sister-in-law, I was born in a scholarly family, and I was not easy to write two-handed words. Besides, how could I say to buy it? I didn't spend money, can I call it buying for scholars? That's called reference..."

Mrs. Lu took a few breaths of cold air and finally just snorted: "I wish I had half of your ability."

Xiao Ting's eyes lit up, and his eyes were full of incredible: "Sister-in-law, you actually praise me. The sun is really coming out from the west. I have long felt that Xu Buling is not as good as me, except for his strength, his appearance, essay talent, and character..."

"The difference between clouds and mud."

"Yes... it's still my sister-in-law, you can talk."

Xiao Ting was so old that it might be the first time he was "praised" like this. He was a little fluttering and touched his waist. Unfortunately, he didn't bring a fan and could only clap his hands in disappointment.

Mrs. Lu didn't see Xu Buling for two days. She missed her so much that she didn't have time to pay attention to the dude, and then said:

"I just heard from the Empress Dowager that the court officials have been busy with the severe drought in Sichuan recently. The emperor will definitely be told by the censors that they are distracted from playing with things. It is useless to say hello now, so stay honest when you go back." Then he took the maid onto the carriage.

Xiao Ting was still a little fluttering. Although he knew that the emperor would not appreciate poetry these days, he still went to say hello to the chief manager of the Oui, so as not to send the next poetry meeting to squeeze out the manuscript of this time.

As long as the emperor sees his song "My Prime Minister Dad", he will definitely praise him. After all, even Song Dajiu said that he wrote it well, and that he is a famous scholar in Chang'an...

Xiao Ting thought about it himself. As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, the servants had not yet led the carriage over, and heard the horse's hooves crossed the white jade road and galloped towards him.

Xiao Ting was stunned and said to himself: Who is so bold? The galloping horse in the imperial city, will the emperor come out?

Looking up, he saw Xu Buling, wearing a white robe, riding on the chasing wind and snow hooves across the White Jade Avenue. The white robe was like a general rushing alone. The imperial guards outside the imperial city hurriedly avoided him, and there was not even a blocking one.

"I'm a mom!"

Xiao Ting's face suddenly changed. He thought Xu Buling knew about his complaint and was about to come over to cut people in the street. He was so scared that he was scattered and hurriedly wanted to chase the carriage that Mrs. Lu had already left.

Unfortunately, before Xiao Ting had taken a few steps, he felt lighter and was carried on the horse's back like a chicken. He turned his head and left.

Xiao Ting's face turned pale and he shouted: "Xu Buling! Are you crazy? I am the nephew of the Queen Mother of the current dynasty. If you dare to touch one of my hair..."

Xu Buling raised his hand and grabbed a few strands of hair on Xiao Ting's forehead:

"What can you do?"

"I... I don't care about villains..."

Xiao Ting was shaking his chest and abdomen. Seeing that Xu Buling was about to kill someone, he felt a little relieved: "Are you drunk again? You and I don't have to violate the river water, so why did you and I take me with me?"

Xu Buling ran away from the surrounding area of ​​the palace quickly and said calmly: "You grew up in Chang'an City, can you know Li Tianlu?"

"Li Tianlu?"

Xiao Ting frowned: "The son of the Li family, Zhongyonghou, at the end of the street, fights and kills all day long, and is a reckless man like you. I know him, but I don't have much friendship, so I occasionally drink flower wine together..."

Xu Buling nodded: "Where is Baima Village?"

Xiao Ting lay on the horse's back and recalled for a moment: "Baima Village... It was the farm that Emperor Xiaozong gave to the Li family. Li Tianlu often invited the high-ranking families from the capital to play. He had invited me once before, but I thought it was a place where the farmer stayed. Why? Are you going to work as a long-term worker for Li Tianlu?"

"Go back and change your clothes, I'll accompany you to Baima Village."

"I don't want to go."

"Be your coachman."
