128, thank you

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 for a long time. Now the list is sent to the palace. Eight out of 100% of Gao Zhinan's portraits are still inside, so Xu Shu had to take this trip.

But now Xu Shu felt very embarrassed. The Empress had some intentions for her and she was sure to let someone go by selling her personal favors. But now there are two people, especially one of them, who is her own sister. In order to better control herself, the Empress was probably very happy to let Xu Ting enter the palace.

What should I do?

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

Seeing Xu Shu in a dilemma, Fu Liu felt very distressed, "The master and his wife are really good. What can you do if you wait for a few days? You have to make trouble. Now, it's good that if something happens, the lady will come and deal with it!"

Taxue looked at Fu Liu with disagreement, "What's the use of saying these now? They will only make the lady even more unhappy!"

Fu Liu lowered his head in shame.

"Okay, stop arguing!" Xu Shu pinched her forehead and her expression gradually calmed down. "Go and find the Buddha incense in the sandalwood box and the green jade bottle in the innermost dressing box to pack it. If nothing unexpected happens, the Empress Dowager will summon me to the palace tomorrow!"

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

Taxue looked at Xu Shu and asked indeterminately, "Miss is planning to save both Miss Gao and Miss Qi?"

That's what Xu Shu planned, "Try it, I'll go and ask the Empress Dowager first, keep the seventh sister, and then go to the Empress's place, and use that bottle of medicine as an exchange to keep Sister Zhinan! Sister Zhinan treats me well, and I can't watch her walk on a path she doesn't like. Since the Gao family reported her to the palace for election, she became depressed. However, she was unable to disobey her parents, and 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!"

"Oh! What's wrong with Mrs. Gao? I was still seeing Miss Gao's marriage a while ago, why did I send Miss Gao to the palace? "Taxue was puzzled by what Mrs. Gao did.

"It was not Aunt Gao who sent his sister Zhinan to the palace, but Gao Da. Gao's decision was powerless!" Xu Shu had a little understanding of the reason why Mrs. Gao did this, "Gao Da Da is in a high position now, and the marriage of Zhinan's sister should be very smooth, but the relationship between the aristocratic families whose status can match her is complicated. For Gao Da Da who has just been promoted, winning the stable position of the Sacred Heart is the most important thing! When the late emperor was alive, Gao Da Da was placed on duty as the top scholar, and he won the throne after he ascended the throne now.

After entering Beijing, he was sent to Beijing for several years and then to promote Gao Dadi to Beijing and pay more attention to it. Today, he valued Gao Dadi to balance his power. He was interested in the Gao family's lack of complicated in-laws and in-laws. At this moment, he was quite suspicious of forming cliques and factions. Gao Dadi would never do this, but other people's Gao Dadi looked down on him. Today, he has the kindness of knowing Gao Dadi. Gao Dadi first repays his kindness and loyalty, so he has to send his sister Zhinan into the palace. How dare his aunt disobeys Gao Dadi's decision?"

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

"Yes... children never have to decide their own marriage. If you are lucky, you can meet someone who is in love and live a harmonious life!"

"Just like the fourth lady!" Wan Feng suddenly interrupted.

"Yes! Just like the fourth sister!" Xu Shu finally had a smile on her face, "But more people are used as political chips and become stepping stones for the family's progress!"

"Miss, I'm sending a letter outside!" Yuanyuan came in with an envelope. "I went to see it when I heard the knock on the door, but I didn't see anyone, so I saw a letter at the door!"

"Take the letter!" Xu Shu's tone was very anxious and even stood up.

Yuanyuan hurriedly handed the letter over, and Xu Shu skillfully tore it apart and took out the letter paper, but Yuanyuan found that it was a piece of white paper with no word on it.

Xu Shu took the paper and sniffed under her nose. Suddenly she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Prepare the car, I'm going out!"

Because Xu Shu said she wanted to go out to buy things for going to the palace tomorrow, Li took out 100 taels of silver for Xu Shu, asking her to buy more rouge and water powder, and sent someone to send each other to Xu Shu. Xu Shu refused and only brought Taxue and Wanfeng and went out.

Xu Shu held the letter paper and walked all the way to the most famous restaurant in the capital - the Exiled Immortal Tower.

The front and back of the Exiled Immortal Tower are divided into two parts, the front is the main building and the back is the garden. The main building is more than six meters high, more than ten meters long, five meters wide, three floors, one floor is a hall, two floors are a building, and three floors are pavilions. The bottom floor of the main building is a wall foundation made of bluestone, the second and third floors are wooden structures, the eaves outside are inlaid with golden edges, and the hip-mounted roof is paved with clear gray glazed tiles. Simple tiles and dripping water are decorated in the style of fish and animals. The shape is simple and elegant, upright and spectacular, giving people a sense of momentum. The three words "Exiled Immortal Tower" are written on the blue bottom of the front of the main building. The font is vigorous, and there is a pair of stone lions squatting on both sides of the door, with fine carvings and lively shapes.

The corridors on both walls of the entrance are embossed with rubbings of calligraphy and paintings of famous people of all ages. There are also peonies that only bloom in spring in the four corners of the hall. It is necessary to make the peonies bloom in the opposite direction. The master behind this exiled immortal building is indeed very rich.

As the wooden staircase in the building reached the third floor, Xu Shu heard a familiar and rude voice, "Here!"

Xu Shu followed the voice and entered the private room that Zhuang Li had set. She sat by the window and threw the letter paper in her hand towards Zhuang Li, "I can't touch this thing at all!"

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

"Not rare!" Xu Shu snorted and headed straight to the point, "Is it my request to you to do the things you asked me to come out?"

"That's natural!" Zhuang Li took out two rolls of paper and threw it to her, "I can enter and exit the palace freely, let alone a minister of the Ministry of Rites!"

"Why are there two volumes?" Xu Shu felt a little puzzled and opened one of the volumes.

Taxue felt familiar, "Huh... this isn't this... this is Miss Seven?"

Xu Shu looked at Zhuang Li in surprise.

"Oh! This?" Zhuang Li explained slowly, "When I went to get the portrait of Gao Zhinan you mentioned, I was curious and looked through a few more pictures. I found that there was a person named Xu Ting inside. I thought of having the same surname as you. Maybe you recognized this person, but I thought about giving it to you. Now it seems that I really recognized it!"

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

"It seems that my random picking didn't take it in vain? Do you have to thank me?" Zhuang Li laughed.
Chapter completed!
