The Yinglie Tomb on the south side of Qujiangchi is a hill shaped like a mound. There are ancestral halls and gyms outside. An iron ox is also specially built with iron tools. It means "making a sword for plow, and stopping a spear for martial arts". It has been left for 60 years and is still as bright as new. Every day, people wipe it and burn incense.

While Zhu Manzhi sneaked into the documentary library to steal secrets, Ning Qingye, who was responsible for attracting hatred and attracting firepower, was also ambushed in the bamboo forest for a long time, waiting for thousands of people to slaughter Zhang Xiang, but it was not so easy to wait for Zhang Xiang.

Zhang Xiang did not come here to settle his past grudges with Ning Qingye. Many people who had grudges with Zhang Xiang went there. As the external facade of the Investigation Department, Zhang Xiang did not have so much spare time to hang out with the people in the martial arts world. He came here in person but only suspected that there were thieves in the martial arts world hiding near Qujiangchi and coming to protect the safety of the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager naturally didn't know Ning Qingye's existence. She finally left the palace and couldn't go back to the palace after worship. After coming out of the tomb of the Heroes, she went directly to the observation deck by the Qujiang Pool. Zhang Xiang took the wolf guards to patrol the surroundings of the observation deck.

The Empress Dowager is the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family and the youngest sister of the prime minister Xiao Chuyang. The wife of several wealthy families on Kuishou Street is nothing more than a prominent family of families such as "Xiao Lu, Cui, Li", and they have known each other since childhood.

Xu Buling's mother is the daughter of the Lu family in the East China Sea. She was originally in the same circle as these ladies. Unfortunately, she was in the wrong team ten years ago, which led to her becoming a gangster family. She didn't even talk to the court. Even the Lu family in Jinling, which is of the same origin, was implicated. Mrs. Lu's father Lu Chengan should have been ranked among the third dukes, but she is still at the bottom of the three dukes and nine ministers, and has a weak voice.

Of course, the secret hidden dangers between major families will not be reflected in the married daughter. The empress dowager came out with a group of wives and finished her business, and she was still talking about ordinary families’ family affairs.

The observation deck by the Qujiang Pool is a tall building with many treasures left by famous artists. In the three-story hall, more than a dozen dignified ladies sat inside, many officials and ladies, princesses standing behind and familiar faces, while maids carefully served tea and water. The atmosphere was even more serious than when they went to court. No one wanted to make a mistake in front of others.

The Empress Dowager was wearing a golden robe and wearing a phoenix crown on her head. She sat on the soft couch holding a teacup, keeping her smile-like expression and listening quietly.

A woman who can enter the palace as a queen is definitely one in a million, and among the dozen or so beautiful women present, there is definitely no beauty, but the queen mother has the added bonus of temperament and status, as beautiful as a peony, obviously trying to overwhelm everyone, which is a bit of a lonely and charming person.

Because Mrs. Lu is widowed, she never dresses well in front of outsiders. She doesn’t have many accessories as quiet as a lotus. She just sits behind and drinks tea alone, which is not noticeable.

There are so many wealthy ladies present, including cold and beautiful women who are not as good as the world, and naturally, there are also socialites who are flattering everywhere.

The Zhang family on Kuishou Street was appointed as the Nine Ministers of the Shaofu. They climbed up from the imperial examination and were considered to be born in a poor family. His wife Gao is the eldest daughter of a family and is considered a high-ranking family in the market. However, if you stay in this room, you will be unable to get on the table, so you will be welcomed by everyone.

The woman couldn't help but mention her nephews. Someone mentioned that the eldest son of the Xiao family had great perseverance and ran to poor mountains and rivers at a young age to become a magistrate. The empress dowager was a little happy and obviously very satisfied with this. Seeing this, Gao quickly took the opportunity to slap in the guise and praised her:

"The Xiao family Dalang has been outstanding since childhood, and everyone in Chang'an City knows why we need to evaluate it. However, Xiao Ting, the Erlang of the Xiao family, usually kept silent, but made a big splash a few days ago, which made people admire him..."

Many women nodded and followed suit.

Although the Xiao family is a major family in Huainan, there are not many real direct descendants. After Xiao Chuyang entered Beijing to become prime minister, his brother died of illness and left only his only son. Xiao Chuyang adopted this son to his own knees and raised him. Unexpectedly, he still failed to live beyond the age of 20 and died early as soon as he got married.

Now, only Xiao Chuyang's lineage is left in the Xiao family in Huainan. Even the head of the family can only let the empress dowager's sister take charge. It can be said that she is not in the same way. If it weren't for this, two fools like Xiao Ting would have been expelled from the house, so how could they be offered the favor like stars holding the moon?

As the daughter of the Xiao family, the Empress Dowager naturally hopes that her nephews will have a bright future, and she laughs even more when she hears these words.

Seeing this, Gao was even more excited. He saw Mrs. Lu sitting behind her and continued:

"In the past, the masters of the Imperial College said that Xiao Ting and Prince Xu were not good at all. I think that with Mrs. Lu and the Queen Mother in charge of the two princes, there would be no bad at all. It's just that I'm not old. I heard that a few days ago, Prince Xu made a big splash and wrote a good poem..."

This is considered to be the one who beats the Xiao family and Lu family, and he also praises King Su and pleases him from all sides.

But Mrs. Lu didn't want to appreciate this affection. She put down the teacup after hearing this and interrupted:

"Madam Gao, don't believe the rumors, it's all the scholars who spread it blindly."

The Long Yin Poetry Meeting Xu Buling did not admit that the respected scholars present did not have the ability to put the original author of "The Wind Flour and the Fragrance of the Flowers" on Xu Buling, and they could only end with doubts. The matter was not sure and spread not far.

The Empress Dowager lived in the deep palace for a long time. If others didn't tell her, she naturally didn't know what happened that day. She asked curiously after hearing this:

"What poem did Xiao Buling write?"

Gao thought Mrs. Lu was humble, and nodded in a very 'understanding' way' and said:

"The wind hangs, dust and fragrance are gone, and I'm tired of combing my hair at night. Things are different and people are not enough to stop everything. If you want to speak, tears will flow first..."

Everyone present was a noble girl. The first time I heard this good lyrics that have been sung forever, I was refreshed. When I heard it again, I slowly nodded and admired her. The official lady behind her was even more starry-eyed.

The Empress Dowager is the daughter of the Xiao family. She has good attainments in poetry, songs, and essays. She just listened to a few sentences and became serious. She died as soon as she entered the palace and stayed alone in the deep palace day and night. When she heard this poem that vividly described her mood, she naturally felt moved.

After Gao finished reciting, the empress dowager nodded slightly: "The wind hangs and the dust and the fragrance are gone, and I am tired of combing my hair at night... Good words... Is this written for me?"

“…”

The women present were all stunned. Gao originally wanted to say that Xu Buling wrote it to Mrs. Lu, but after thinking about it carefully, there seemed to be nothing wrong with this poem written to the Empress Dowager.

Xu Buling said that day that the poem was not about Mrs. Lu...

So the woman's eyes became strange.

Mrs. Lu was about to explain, but when she heard the empress dowager's words, her face suddenly became unfair. It was as if the hairpin that her daughter had just picked was packed and taken away by an outsider. How could she bear it? She quickly said:

"It was not written for the Queen Mother."

“…??”
