168, because

No one followed up in the inner room, Xu Shu knew that what the Empress Dowager was going to say to her next would never be so simple, and she suddenly cheered up her spirits, because of the Empress Dowager's previous matter, the Empress Dowager's gift of the palace entry token had not passed, and the Empress Dowager's suspicion of herself could not be deepened.

"Sit down, there are no outsiders here, the mourning family wants to say a few intimate words to you!" The Empress Dowager pressed Xu Shu on the chair with a smile.

Xu Shu sat down obediently, touched the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for the Empress Dowager and herself, and the Empress Dowager boasted, "You kid is well-behaved, the first time I saw you, the little one stood there, how the palace maids teased you, you didn't laugh, and then the mourning family asked you why you didn't laugh, do you remember how you answered?" ”

Xu Shu bowed her head, "The courtier remembered that the courtier's answer at the time was, 'Mother confessed, you must understand etiquette in the palace, you can't cry or laugh', and the lady laughed when she heard it!" ”

The Empress Dowager laughed now when she heard it, "Yes! After so many years, the mourning family has never seen such a well-behaved and obedient child as you! Seven years have passed, and the mourning family still remembers what you looked like at that time, wearing a pink skirt, with a garland, and a red face, and at that time there was no cloth belt! ”

Xu Shu couldn't help but reach out and touch her eyes, "At that time, my eyes didn't cry when I saw the light, but then I couldn't see the light, so I had to cover up with something!" ”

"Do you regret saving your brother from the fire? If it weren't for the delay to save your brother, you probably wouldn't have been blind! The Empress Dowager suddenly asked.

Xu Shu smiled, "How can you regret it?" He is the younger brother of the courtier, not to mention that he is just blind, even if he is burned to death in the fire, he can't be left alone! She never regretted saving her brother, whether it was in the past, now, or in the future, she would not regret it, she couldn't watch her brother be burned to death.

The Empress Dowager patted Xu Shu's hand movingly, "You can afford the four words of pure heart!" Yarong ...... She's too narrow-minded! ”

Xu Shu's heart moved, and she couldn't help but be alert, the Empress Dowager played the sensational card, which made her involuntarily soften her heart, but she was waiting for herself here!

"Miss Deng Wu, she ...... He's a man of true temperament! ”

This sentence is more pertinent, the Empress Dowager nodded, "She can't hide her thoughts, but she thinks she hides it very well, and others can't see it!" Every time she enters the palace, she likes to play some tricks, and the mourning family and her mother are in their eyes, only to feel ridiculous, and then her mother doesn't take her into the palace very much, and she has only come more diligently recently, but she has not grown much! ”

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but shake her head, although the Deng family is her maiden family, but since she married into the royal family, she can't just take care of the interests of her mother's family, she should think more about the interests of Da Yin, and it is really difficult for her brother to agree with her.

"Miss Deng Wu has been pampered since she was a child, innocent, and occasionally making some small means harmless!" Deng Yarong's scheming methods are really unacceptable, no one will look at her, even if she has repeatedly calculated Xu Shu, she has never succeeded.

The Empress Dowager sighed, "Who can she calculate with that little scheming!" You see that she has just picked so many precious flowers, probably who reminded her, she realized that it was wrong, and wanted to plant it on your head, but she even forgot the flowers on her head, and the flower juice on her hands was not washed, and the stupid mourner didn't have the heart to talk about her, so ask her mother to take it back and teach it slowly! ”

Xu Shu smiled, "The courtiers still think that Miss Deng Wu is joking with the courtiers!" ”

"You! She's framed you, and you won't say a bad word about her! The Empress Dowager sighed, "Last time, Jiang Meiren almost killed you, and you didn't say a word!" ”

"Jiang Meiren is also a poor person...... Besides, it was a good day for you, so how could the courtiers let such things bother you! Moreover, the queen said that she would deal with it, but the courtiers didn't tell the mother, not deliberately concealing it! ”

"I know that your kid is the most careful, he has always been thoughtful and thoughtful in doing things, and he doesn't want to say more than half a word, for fear that something will go wrong!" The Empress Dowager looked at Xu Shu lovingly, as if she was an elder who really cared for her juniors, if there was no trace of exploration flashing in her eyes, it would be an extremely beautiful scene.

"Mother taught that more is wrong, more is wrong, less is wrong! It's easy to get annoyed when your daughter's house talks outside! Li did say this, but he said it.

"Your mother is too cautious, and you follow her in this temperament! The first time you entered the palace, you were accompanied by your mother, you stood firmly, but your mother ......" The Empress Dowager shook her head again and again, remembering the trembling attitude of the Li family that day, which was really unseemly.

"Mother, she is very ......" Xu Shu defended in a low voice, I don't know if she was saying it to the Empress Dowager or convincing herself.

The Empress Dowager smiled, "You have such a temperament...... If Yarong is half as well-behaved as you, I won't be so embarrassed, how precious are the flowers cultivated by the earth dragon, she said to pick it, there are no rules at all! ”

Really!

Xu Shu suddenly understood that the person who followed Deng Yarong was the person sent by the Empress Dowager to secretly observe Deng Yarong, so what was the Empress Dowager's purpose in letting her accompany Deng Yarong? Or maybe the Empress Dowager already knew everything that happened in the Imperial Garden, and just chatted with herself just to test whether she would lie? And what did the Empress Dowager mean by the embarrassment she just said? Does it have anything to do with the fact that she sent someone to secretly follow Deng Yarong?

Although there are too many questions, Xu Shu realizes that this time is no longer suitable for going around in circles with the Empress Dowager, and only by saying something that the Empress Dowager wants to hear can the Empress Dowager completely dispel her suspicions.

"Actually, Miss Deng Wu's picking flowers is also the fault of the courtier!" Xu Shu suddenly spoke.

"Oh?" The Empress Dowager's eyes flashed, "What's wrong?" Could it be that you asked her to pick it? ”

Xu Shu hurriedly waved his hand, "No! No! On the way to the Imperial Garden, Miss Deng Wu was playing with the courtiers, and the courtiers accidentally stepped on her, and she was angry that she picked flowers to dissipate her anger! ”

"She's kidding you?" The Empress Dowager smiled, "She's deliberately making things difficult for you, right?" When she was a child, when she entered the palace, she often stretched out her feet and tripped over the palace maid eunuch, and when she saw someone falling, she clapped her hands and laughed, but she didn't expect that she hadn't changed this habit until now! ”

The Empress Dowager really knew everything, Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and followed the Empress Dowager's words and said ashamedly, "It is said that the courtiers also deliberately stepped on that foot, knowing that Miss Deng Wu's foot was there, but she still stepped on it, just because...... Because ......"

"Because of what? Is it because of the Qi family? ”
