Xu Shu promised Li to enter the palace not only because of Xu Ting, but also because of Gao Zhinan, there was no news from Zhuang Li's side for a long time, and now the roster has been sent to the palace, and Gao Zhinan's portrait is still in it, Xu Shu has to go this way.

But now Xu Shu feels very embarrassed, the queen mother has a plan for her, and she is sure that she will sell her personal favor and let one person go, but now there are two people, especially one of them is her own sister, in order to better control herself, the queen mother is probably happy to let Xu Ting enter the palace.

What to do?

Xu Shu slapped her forehead irritably, and couldn't think of any good countermeasures for a while.

Seeing Xu Shu embarrassed, Fu Liu was very distressed, "The lord and the lady are really, what can I do if I wait for a few days, I have to fix the moth, it's good now, if something happens, I still have to take care of the aftermath!" ”

Taxue glanced at Fuliu disapprovingly, "What's the use of talking about this now, it will only make Miss even more unhappy!" ”

Fuliu lowered her head in shame.

"Alright, stop arguing!" Xu Shu pinched the corners of her forehead, and her expression gradually calmed down, "Go and find out the Buddha incense in the sandalwood box, as well as the green jade bottle in the innermost part of the dressing box, if nothing else, the Queen Mother will summon me into the palace tomorrow!" ”

The Buddha incense is for the Empress Dowager, so what is the green jade bottle?

Taxue glanced at Xu Shu and asked uncertainly, "Is Miss planning to save Miss Gao and Miss Seven?" ”

It is true that Xu Shu planned to do so, "Try it, I will first go to the Empress Dowager to keep the Seventh Sister, and then go to the Empress Dowager and use that bottle of medicine in exchange to keep Sister Zhinan!" Sister Zhinan treats me well, I can't watch her go down the road she doesn't like, since the Gao family reported her to the palace to be selected, she was depressed, but she couldn't disobey her parents, and secondly, she was afraid that I would worry, so she didn't mention it to me, and she was full of grievances and helplessness and could only hide herself! ”

"Alas! Mrs. Gao, what's wrong? A while ago, I was still showing Miss Gao her relatives, why did I send Miss Gao to the palace? "Treading Xue is very puzzled by what Mrs. Gao did.

"It was not Aunt Gao who sent Sister Zhinan into the palace, but Lord Gao, and Aunt Gao couldn't do anything about her decision!" Xu Shu has a little understanding of the reason why Mrs. Gao did this, "Lord Gao is now in a high position, and it stands to reason that the marriage of Sister Zhinan's sister should be very smooth, but the family relationship that can match the status is complicated, and for the newly promoted Lord Gao, winning the stable position of the Sacred Heart is the most important thing!" When the first emperor was alive, Gao Daren was released as a champion, and he was able to enter Beijing after ascending the throne, and then he was sent abroad for several years to promote Gao Daren to Beijing for reuse, and now he reused Gao Daren in order to balance the power, and he fancied that the Gao family did not have an intricate in-law relationship, and at this moment the marriage with the family was quite suspicious of forming a gang, Gao Daren would never do this, but other people's Gao Daren did not look down on it, and now he has the grace of knowing Gao Daren, Gao Daren one is to repay his kindness, and the other is to be loyal, That's why I want to send Sister Zhinan to the palace, how dare my aunt disobey the decision of the tall adult? ”

"Miss Gao is really pitiful......" Taxue sighed!

"Yes...... Children's marriage has never been decided by themselves, and if you are lucky, you can meet a person who is in love and live a beautiful life! ”

"Just like Miss Four!" Bang Feng suddenly interjected.

"That's right! Just like the fourth sister! Xu Shu finally had a smile on her face, "But more people are used as political bargaining chips and have become stepping stones for the family to move forward!" ”

"Miss, there's a letter from outside!" Yuan Yuan came in with an envelope, "The slave heard a knock at the door and went to look, but she didn't see anyone, and she saw a letter at the door!" ”

"Bring me the letter!" Xu Shu's tone was very eager, and she even stood up.

Yuan Yuan hurriedly handed over the letter, Xu Shu skillfully tore it and took out the letter paper, but Yuan Yuan found that it was a blank piece of paper, and there was not a word on it.

Xu Shu took the paper and sniffed it under her nose, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Prepare the car, I'm going to go out!" ”

Because Xu Shu said that he wanted to go out to buy things to enter the palace tomorrow, Li was very happy to take out one hundred taels of silver to Xu Shu, asking her to buy more rouge gouache, and to send someone to send Xu Shu to each other, Xu Shu refused, and only took the snow and the wind and went out.

Xu Shu pinched the piece of letter paper and walked all the way to the most prestigious restaurant in the capital, Qixian Building.

The front and back of the building are divided into two parts, the front is the main building, and the back is the garden. The main building is more than six zhang high, more than ten zhang long, five zhang wide one, three floors, one floor is the hall, the second floor is the building, the third floor is the pavilion. The ground floor of the main building is the wall foundation of bluestone masonry, the second and third floors are wooden structures, the cornices outside are inlaid with golden trimmings, the roof of the mountain style is paved with clear gray glazed tiles, and the simple tile dripping ornaments are made of the style of fish and beasts, the shape is simple and elegant, upright and magnificent, giving people a sense of grandeur. The main building gate door on the forehead of the blue background gold book "Qi Xian Lou" three words, the font is strong, the door on both sides also squatting a pair of stone lions, the carving is fine, the form is lively.

The cloisters on the two walls of the entrance door are embedded with the rubbings of the calligraphy and paintings of the celebrities of the past dynasties, and the four corners of the hall are also placed with peonies that will only open in spring, so that the peony can bloom against the time is not a huge wealth.

When he went up the wooden stairs in the building to the third floor, Xu Shu heard a familiar and ruffian voice, "This way!" ”

Xu Shu followed the voice and walked over, entered the private room that Zhuang Li had set, and threw the letter paper in his hand to Zhuang Li after sitting by the window, "I can't touch this thing at all!" ”

Zhuang Li picked up the letter paper and said, "What a pity!" Such a good wine is worth a thousand gold, you don't have this blessing! ”

"Not uncommon!" Xu Shu snorted and went straight to the point, "You asked me to come out, did I entrust you to do it?" ”

"That's nature!" Zhuang Li took out two rolls of paper and threw them to her, "I can enter and exit the palace freely, not to mention a waiter of the Ministry of Rites!" ”

"How come there are two volumes?" Touching the paper in his hand, Xu Shu was a little puzzled, and opened one of the rolls.

Treading snow felt a little familiar, "Huh...... It's not ...... Isn't this Miss Seven? ”

Xu Shu looked at Zhuang Li in surprise.

"Oh! What's this? Zhuang Li explained slowly, "When I went to take the portrait of Gao Zhinan you said, I was curious and flipped through a few more photos, and I found that there was a person named Xu Ting in it, thinking of having the same surname as you, maybe you knew this person, so I thought about showing it to you for recognition, and now it seems that I really recognize it!" ”

"Thank you!" Zhuang Li's unintentional move helped Xu Shu a lot.

"Looks like I didn't take it in vain? Do you have to thank me? Zhuang Li said with a smile.

Xu Shu pushed open the window with a hint of coolness blowing on her cheeks with the breeze, and turned around for a while and said, "What do you want me to do for you when you call me over?" ”
