After the Fu brothers left, Li's burning eyes fell on Qi Rui, looked at Qi Rui, and then looked at Xu Ting, no matter how you look at it, you feel that they are a good match, and seeing that the two of them seem to be very close in their words and behaviors, they suddenly feel very relieved, so the marriage with the Qi family is more certain!

Today, she originally just wanted to finalize Xu Jie's marriage, but the appearance of the Qi family brothers was completely unexpected, and she was even more happy to see the Fu family brothers!

Li Shi suddenly felt refreshed, the previous fatigue was swept away, and he glanced at Xu Shu who was standing on her, and stood up, "I'm going to watch Sister Yuan play chess!" ”

Qi Peng glanced at Xu Yuan's location, and then looked at the vacant seat left by Fu Junxian after leaving, and sure enough, between Xu Yuan and Qi Rui, he immediately understood that Li's saying that going to see Xu Yuan playing chess was just a pretense, and she was going to talk to Qi Rui.

When Li left, Xu Shu let Xu Jie sit in Li's place, and he sat on the brocade stool that Fu Junqian had just moved.

Qi Peng looked at Xu Jie, who was very close, and the idea of whispering to Xu Shu was dispelled, for fear of being overheard, Xu Jie also realized that it was very inappropriate for her to sit here, so she asked the girl to find another brocade stool to sit next to Xu Shu, and Qi Peng spoke boldly to Xu Shu.

"Looks like your family has already made a decision!"

What is the decision that Qi Peng said Xu Shu understood in her heart, and raised her eyebrows coldly, "Could it be that if you Qi family have a plan, our Xu family will have no choice?" ”

Although Xu Shu's tone was cold and her expression was indifferent, she knew that she was not angry, and the whole person was calm beyond common sense.

"Yes! Everyone has a choice! Qi Peng nodded, "It's just that your family's decision seems to be a little contrary to our family's decision!" ”

"It doesn't matter!" Xu Shu spoke with ridicule, in fact, every time Xu Shu mentioned this ridiculous marriage, she always couldn't help but feel ridiculed, "This is a marriage, it must be decided from above, and the decision of the Xu Qi family is not important!" ”

In Xu Shu's words, it is true that no matter what the Qi family thinks, and no matter what the Xu family plans, it will be in vain if they can't pass the above level.

Qi Peng glanced at Xu Shu, as if he had something to say, but he couldn't say it, he just sighed slightly, he was just chasing the wind and shadows, since he was doing something inaccurate, it was better not to publicize it everywhere.

"Why does the eldest prince of Qi want to stop talking?"

Qi Peng thought about it and felt that he should tell Xu Shu, after all, it was related to Xu Shu, "I was edicted to enter the palace a while ago, and after listening to the words of the Empress Dowager, I think it may have something to do with you!" ”

"It's about the marriage of the first emperor, right?" As soon as Qi Peng opened his mouth, Xu Shu expected what was going on.

Qi Peng nodded, slightly surprised, "You know? ”

"When I entered the palace last winter, the Empress Dowager told me!" Xu Shu's expression was a little depressed, the Empress Dowager's persistence and persistence in the matter of marriage was very unfavorable to her, but this was a gift to the Empress Dowager, and it was also a deterrent to the Qi family, where did the Qi family offend the Empress Dowager?

"The Empress Dowager seems to be very insistent on this matter, insisting on letting the fourth brother marry you, and even has another edict to urge this family matter, it is the grandmother who went to intercede to make the Empress Dowager dispel the idea of the edict, but she still does not let go of the marriage!" Qi Peng suddenly smiled coldly, "Father said that if I marry you, he agreed without saying a word, and the Empress Dowager immediately spat him in the face, saying that he was a fool and a dream, so far my father still looks at me with an angry face, probably because he thinks I am a waste, useless in the eyes of others, admittedly, I also feel that I am not worthy of you!" ”

"A blind man with a lame man...... Sure enough, everyone thinks so! After hearing too many such words, Xu Shu was already extremely indifferent, "It's just that you are not lame now, and I am still blind!" ”

"It's going to be fine!" Qi Peng believes that with Xu Shu's ability, she will definitely have a way to see the light again.

"Perhaps!" Xu Shu smiled indifferently, and suddenly asked, "Your Qi family has been doing it recently, especially since the second half of last year, is there anything that makes the Empress Dowager or the Deng family unhappy?" ”

Qi Peng thought for a moment and shook his head decisively, "Although our Qi family is a hereditary title, but grandfather, father and several uncles are not in important positions, and they will not quarrel with the Deng family in the court, as for the Empress Dowager, our Qi family does not dare to offend, if we have to say that there is something in our family that makes the Empress Dowager unhappy, it should be your marriage with the fourth brother!" ”

Xu Shu shook her head, "Marriage is the effect, what I want to find is the cause!" ”

Qi Peng was stunned, racked his brains and thought about it, and finally said uncertainly, "You said that since the second half of last year, there is one thing at this time, and I don't know if it has anything to do with this?" ”

"What's the matter?"

Qi Peng looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, but he still lowered his voice, "It's about the first emperor and concubine!" ”

Concubine? That's Zhou Jin's biological mother!

Linked to Zhou Jin's appearance in the capital last year, Xu Shu could almost conclude that the real reason why the Empress Dowager was angry with the Qi family must be related to Zhou Jin.

The first emperor has been dead for many years, and the concubine Zhen who is the concubine of the first emperor has not appeared in the world for many years, Qi Peng thought that Xu Shu did not know who the concubine was, so he explained from the beginning.

"Concubine Zhen is the adopted daughter of the Qi family, I want to call her an aunt in terms of seniority! The first emperor and the current queen mother have been married for many years but there is no out, the queen mother advocates the draft to enrich the harem to continue the royal bloodline, that is the first draft of the first emperor year, and the only time, the concubine is the palace at that time, because of her outstanding appearance, she was promoted to a concubine in March after entering the palace, and she was pregnant the following year, and gave birth to the eldest son of the first emperor, the first emperor named him the prince, and his mother was the concubine, the first emperor died at the time of the internal and external troubles of the great yin, and now after succeeding to the throne, the first emperor was renamed the prince of Pingning, and sent into Beidi as a hostage, and the queen mother was young and pitiful to the king of Pingning, I was afraid that I couldn't take care of myself when I went to Saiwai, so I ordered Concubine Zhen to enter Beidi with King Pingning! ”

Qi Peng said plainly, but only the parties concerned know how much bloody rain they have experienced before they settle down between the lines.

"Bitter cold outside the Saiwai, Beidi is barbaric, Concubine Zhen is not used to the life of Beidi when she first arrives, often send people into Beijing to cry, how dare to offend Beidi in the situation at that time, is to send someone to send something to comfort in the palace, with the passage of time, to the second year, Concubine Zhen never sent someone into Beijing again, until last autumn, Concubine Zhen sent people into Beijing again, showing her heart to return to the south, the Empress Dowager received the letter and called her grandfather and father into the palace, I don't know what to say, there is no abnormality after grandfather and father out of the palace! If you hadn't mentioned it today, I wouldn't have remembered it! What do you think has something to do with it? ”

Xu Shu shook her head in confusion, "Maybe!" After all, Concubine Zhen is the daughter of the Qi family, Concubine Zhen doesn't know anything, and the Qi family has no way to discipline her! ”
