Xu Shu was silent for a moment before saying, "It's not because of the Rongguo Mansion!" It's just that the courtiers make them petty! ”

"Isn't it?" The Empress Dowager asked rhetorically, "You don't know Yarong's intentions for the fourth child of the Qi family, right?" ”

Xu Shu nodded, "I know, it is precisely because I know that I feel that Miss Deng Wu is true temperament, and she never hides her emotions, even in front of her courtiers, she does not shy away from her intentions!" ”

The Empress Dowager chuckled, "She thinks she is close to the Qi family, and she has been pampered since she was a child, she can have whatever she wants, she doesn't hide it in front of you, why didn't she take you in her eyes!" ”

"This is also normal!" Xu Shu's expression was calm, "If it weren't for the coincidence, the courtier's daughter would not have any intersection with Miss Deng Wu in this life!" "If it weren't for that Hongqiao flying frame, there would not have been a marriage from the first emperor, and the Xu family would not have anything to do with the Qi family.

"Destiny is hard to disobey!" A gloom flashed in the Empress Dowager's eyes.

Xu Shu lowered her head and didn't speak, but listened to the Empress Dowager say again, "Yarong has a thought about the fourth child of the Qi family, but the Deng family has other ideas, heh!" Just if the mourning family is a fool, let them fool you, not everyone can enter the Yi Palace! The Empress Dowager suddenly asked Xu Shu again, "What do you think of Yarong?" The mourners want to hear your heart! ”

The Empress Dowager mentioned Laiyi Palace, and Xu Shu understood the Deng family's plan! Sure enough, it was said by Gao Zhinan, the Deng family really wanted to push Deng Yarong to the position of the eldest princess, the eldest prince is the only heir so far, if nothing else, it will only be the eldest prince who will enter the East Palace in the future, and Deng Yarong will also become the crown princess, only one step away from the world of motherhood.

The first emperor married the daughter of the Fu family, and now he married the daughter of the Zheng family, the Fu family and the Zheng family in the court a little bit of the power of the Deng family, the Deng family is in a hurry, the empress dowager or a little anxious, but as the most noble person in the status of the big yin, she has to think more, not only to consider the interests of the Zheng family, but also to weigh the interests of the royal family, if Deng Yarong is a little more successful, the empress dowager may agree with the Zheng family's idea, but Deng Yarong She is delicate and impulsive, and it is difficult to be a big responsibility.

After making up her mind, Xu Shu slowly spoke, "Since the Empress Dowager asked her courtiers to tell the truth, the courtiers will be blunt, and if there is any offense, please ask the Empress Dowager to atone for her sins!" ”

"Just say it! I don't blame you for anything you say! ”

"I heard from the palace people that the Yi Palace is for the eldest prince to choose a concubine, according to the meaning of Niangniang just now, the Deng family seems to intend to let Miss Deng Wu enter the palace to accompany the eldest prince, and the courtiers feel that this is a bit inappropriate!"

"What's wrong?" The Empress Dowager asked, her tone a little urgent.

Xu Shu replied truthfully, "Miss Deng Wu has a lively and clever personality, and may be able to solve a temporary dilemma, but she is not calm and generous enough, and it is difficult to bear the sage of An, and there is no sage of An, so how can she be able to be outside?" Therefore, the courtiers think that Miss Deng Wu is not suitable, for the sake of the country's plan, the mother should choose another virtuous! ”

Xu Shu's words touched the heart of the Queen Mother, Deng Yarong is not bad, delicate and cute, although there are some cautious tricks, but it is also fun to watch, but Deng Yarong's character really can't bear the responsibilities of the princess. The royal selection of women is only about family background, and more important talents, a woman without merit, how will she manage the six palaces in the future? The six palaces are uneasy, how can the king deal with government affairs with five worries?

"You're so right!" The Empress Dowager patted Xu Shu's hand with deep understanding, "Yarong, she's not suitable!" Her character can't enter the palace! But her parents didn't believe it, and they came to the palace again and again to beg for mourning, and it was difficult to mourn the family! ”

Is it really hard? Xu Shu doesn't believe it! The Empress Dowager had actually made a decision a long time ago, but she just needed an excuse.

"Niangniang is not only the Deng family, but also the empress dowager of Dayin, every decision you make is related to the fortune of the country, and it is difficult for you to shoulder the responsibility!"

"Responsibility ......" the Empress Dowager savored these two words, "yes! Liability! Nine girls, the mourning family has been in the palace for almost forty years, and the burden on their shoulders is almost forgotten about the taste of family affection, every step of the mourning family is dangerous, along the way, how much suffering the mourning family has suffered, how many sins have been suffered, the mourning family does not want Yarong girl to suffer this too, this palace wall is not a suitable place for her to live! ”

"Niang Niang Mingjian!" Xu Shu bowed his head and praised.

The Empress Dowager smiled, "You are really a good boy, the mourning family did not mistake you!" ”

Xu Shu didn't understand what the Empress Dowager meant, and the Empress Dowager said, "You have a marriage contract with the Qi family, but Yarong has delusions about the Qi family's junior, and the mourning family thought that you would strongly agree with letting Yarong enter the palace, and when she entered the palace, she naturally broke off her thoughts about the Qi family, but I didn't expect what you said to be the opposite of what the mourning family thought!" ”

This is the real purpose of the Queen Mother! Tested his attitude towards the Qi family, but why did the Queen Mother suddenly become interested in the Qi family?

"The marriage contract between the courtiers and the Qi family ......" Xu Shu paused for a moment, "The courtiers don't think about him anymore, a blind man...... If you are a waste person, you are not qualified to mention it! ”

"Silly boy!" The Empress Dowager shook her head and disagreed, "This is the marriage promised by the first emperor himself, and if his Qi family dares not to obey it, it will be a rebellion, and they don't have the courage to do so!" Don't worry, the mourning family is in charge of this matter! ”

In recent years, Xu Shu has entered the palace many times, but the Empress Dowager has never expressed any views on the marriage contract between Xu Shu and the Qi family so clearly this time, including the last birthday banquet, the Empress Dowager's attitude is ambiguous, this is the first time, it came so suddenly, and the attitude is so clear, it can even be regarded as tough, this is by no means out of pity and pity for her, Xu Shu has to be vigilant.

The Empress Dowager's attitude is obviously in favor of this marriage contract, and I don't know if it is really in favor or another temptation, no matter what the Empress Dowager means, Xu Shu wants to express her unwillingness at this time is the safest answer, "Aunt Qi...... She is very good to her courtiers, and often sends people to visit her courtiers, but the courtiers are also self-aware, the Xu family is not worthy of the Qi family, and the courtiers are not suitable for marriage! ”

After listening to Xu Shu's answer, the Empress Dowager really showed an expected smile, and she was not surprised by Xu Shu's answer at all, "Nine girls! You still speak for the Qi family! What is the attitude of the Qi family, you don't say that the mourning family also understands, they think that the first emperor has gone, and they can ignore this marriage contract! You can rest assured, since it was a marriage given by the first emperor himself, the mourning family can't help but regret it, and the mourning family wants to see how many heads of his Qi family dare to resist and disobey! ”

After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she saw that Xu Shu was stunned, and realized that her tone just now was too strict, so she put on a smiling face, "Don't be afraid, there is a mourning family, and the custody will ask the Qi family to carry the sedan chair and marry you back!" ”

Xu Shu lowered her head, but in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, she became shy.
