After thinking about it all night, the next day, Xu Shu went to the water hookah with two black eyes that could not be covered with powder. Fortunately, there was a cloth tape covering her eyes, so Gao Zhinan did not notice any abnormality.

Gao Zhinan couldn't hide his happiness in his expression. As soon as he saw Xu Shu, he rushed over and pinched Xu Shu's face and rubbed it hard, "You cruel little girl, I haven't come to see me for so long. Don't tell me that you don't have time. You have run to the village twice. Will you have no time to see me?"

Gao Zhinan pouted and pretended to be angry, Xu Shu covered her face and begged for mercy, "There is a lot of family affairs in the second half of the year. I went out to hide for peace, but I didn't hide. If I went to find you, Sister Zhinan, wouldn't I bother you?"

Gao Zhinan, the clan of the Xu family and the Song family, also heard about the confused marriage, so he stopped holding on, "Forget it, I'll bother you this time. If there is another next time, I will really ignore you!"

Xu Shu touched her face that was rubbed red and breathed a sigh of relief.

Gao Zhinan came over and lay on Xu Shu's shoulder and whispered, "Do you know that the Queen ordered the Ministry of Rites to hold a sudden talent show?"

Xu Shu nodded silently. The opportunity for this draft may have something to do with her, and she interfered in it later.

"My father also sent my name and portrait to the Ministry of Rites!" Gao Zhinan's voice was muffled. Even though the matter had passed, she still couldn't let it go.

Gao Dadi had Gao Dadi's plan, but Xu Shu was not easy to comment or discuss, so she couldn't interrupt and just listened to Gao Zhinan's complaints.

"My father wants to be a loyal minister, so he can't be a kind father. No matter how much she loves me, she can't be stubborn, and my mother is so angry that she is sick!" Tears burst into Gao Zhinan's eyes. Her mother-daughter affection with Mrs. Gao made Xu Shu envious.

"How is my aunt's body now?" Xu Shu asked with concern.

Gao Zhinan wiped the corners of his eyes lightly and said with relief, "The list of selected people is coming down, and I am not. When my mother is happy, she will be mostly cured!"

"That's good!" Xu Shu nodded, not mentioning that it was her own tricks that made Gao Zhinan lose the election.

Gao Zhinan said with lingering fear, "When my father told me that I had run for the election, I thought I must be entering the palace. Even my father thought so. Unexpectedly, the result came out, but I didn't have my name. It's a blessing!"

"I'm afraid my uncle will be unhappy!" Xu Shu did not regret disrupting Gao's father's plan to show his loyalty. Loyalty is not reflected by sacrificing his children.

"Hmph! I don't care about him!" Gao Zhinan was still angry, "When his mother knelt down and begged him not to let me run for election, he didn't look at his mother, and let his mother kneel in the yard for three hours and fainted on the ground without changing her mind. Now he has not been able to get what he wants, and he is angry and venting his anger for his mother!"

"You don't have to go to the palace anymore, how can my aunt get angry?"

"That's it!" Gao Zhinan raised his eyebrows, unable to stop his pleasure, "Since I ran for election, my father has held me in the house, and my mother is sick again and has no time to spare every day. Now I can get out, but I have to play enough!"

"Since you have to have enough fun, why do you come to eat vegetarian food? Shouldn't you celebrate with big fish and meat?" Xu Shu asked with a smile.

Gao Zhinan shook his head, "I made a wish when my mother was ill. If I could make my mother well, I would eat vegetarian food for three months to fulfill my wish. Now I am still having a wish, and I can't get any meat! "

Gao Zhinan's heart for a filial daughter made Xu Shu feel stunned for a moment. Once upon a time, she was like this...

"By the way, the palace has newly built a palace, do you know this?" Xu Shu often entered the palace, and Gao Zhinan felt that she should know it.

"I know!" Xu Shu nodded, "It was built by the Empress Dowager, and she planned to choose a concubine for the eldest prince!"

"That's right!" Gao Zhinan suddenly lowered his voice, "The Deng family has frequently brought the Deng family girls into the palace recently. The eldest prince's concubine probably has fallen into the Deng family!"

"Deng family?" Xu Shu shook her head for a moment, "It is unlikely that the Deng family has only one legitimate girl in this generation, and she is still old and is not likely that those who are born in vain or are unable to become the official concubine!"

"Although Deng Yarong is older than the eldest prince, her life experience and status are enough. Besides, the Empress Dowager is a member of the Deng family. As long as the Empress Dowager nods, who dares to object!" Gao Zhinan suddenly smiled and approached Xu Shu, "If Deng Yarong really became the eldest prince's concubine, she would never be able to covet the Qi family anymore!"

Xu Shu pretended not to understand the profound meaning of Gao Zhinan's words, but Gao Zhinan refused to give in. "Deng Yarong's thoughts on the Fourth Master Qi are not a secret. Anyone who has contacts with the Qi family or the Deng family knows it. I don't believe that you are so smart and don't know!"

Xu Shu said helplessly, "Of course I know, but this is her business. What does it have to do with me?"

"Why is it nothing?" Gao Zhinan widened his eyes, "Mr. Qi Si is your fiancé. She covets your fiancé, why does it have nothing to do with you?"

"He is not my fiancé!" Xu Shu pulled the corner of her mouth, looking cold, "I never think he is my fiancé, and no one has ever regarded him as my fiancé!"

The Qi family looked down on the Xu family's family and was unwilling to admit this marriage. Because Xu Shu was blind, the Xu family wanted other girls from the Xu family to replace Xu Shu. It was obviously Xu Shu's marriage, but it just happened to have nothing to do with her. This is the most ironic thing.

"Ashu..." Gao Zhinan showed heartache, "I know that Qi family's attitude made you feel disappointed, but this was a marriage granted by the late emperor. Even if they don't want to, they can't break the engagement! You are so smart, when you get married, they will definitely change their views on you!"

"I have no interest in how they think of me, and I have no interest in marrying into the Qi family. Sister Zhinan, I think you are a close friend, so I told you this. You don't know how difficult my days have been in the past few years you were not in Beijing..." Such days were finally about to come out, and Xu Shu suddenly felt relieved.

Xu Shu's straight back showed her pride and stubbornness. It seemed that she had suffered a lot in the past few years. Gao Zhinan felt soft and suddenly regretted mentioning the matter of Qi's family, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore! By the way, a few days ago, I went to the temple to fulfill my wish and saw the people from the Sun family. I heard that Sister Xu is living a good life now!"

When talking about Xu Jing, Xu Shu also smiled, "My sister is dedicated to teaching Zan'er and Aqi, and no one dares to make things difficult for her. She looked much better when she went to see her last time!"

"The Sun family is really willing to be blessed!" Gao Zhinan sighed, and then thought that Qi family is also willing to be blessed. Xu Shu probably saw the misfortune of Xu Jing's marriage, so she didn't feel good about Qi family. She couldn't help but think of her marriage and was suddenly a little depressed.

"Sister Zhinan!" Xu Shu seemed to sense Gao Zhinan's unhappiness and pulled her hand, "Auntie will definitely choose a good family for you!"
