Xu Shu was silent for a moment before saying, "It's not because of the Duke Rong's Mansion! It's just a little bitch!"

"No?" The Empress Dowager asked with a different meaning, "Don't you not know Yarong's feelings for Xiaosi of Qi's family?"

Xu Shu nodded, "I know, it is precisely because of knowing that I feel that Miss Deng Wu has the true nature and never hides her emotions. Even in front of her ministers, she does not shy away from her intentions!"

The Empress Dowager chuckled, "She thought she had a kinship with the Qi family and was raised since childhood. She had whatever she wanted. She didn't hide it in front of you, so she didn't take you seriously!"

"This is normal!" Xu Shu looked calm, "If it weren't for a coincidence, my daughter wouldn't have any interaction with Miss Deng Wu in this life!" If it weren't for the rainbow bridge, there wouldn't be a marriage for the late emperor, and the Xu family wouldn't have anything to do with the Qi family.

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

Xu Shu lowered her head and didn't say anything, then the Empress Dowager said again, "Yarong had a love affair with the little 4 of the Qi family, but the Deng family had other ideas, haha! Just think that the Ai family is a fool, and let them fool him. Not everyone can enter Yigong!" The Empress Dowager suddenly asked Xu Shu again, "What do you think Yarong? The Ai family wants to hear your truth!"

When the Empress Dowager mentioned coming to Yi Palace, Xu Shu understood the Deng family's plan! It turned out that Gao Zhinan was right. The Deng family really wanted to push Deng Yarong to the position of the eldest prince's concubine. The eldest prince is the only descendant so far. If nothing unexpected happens, the one who enters the Eastern Palace in the future will be the eldest prince. Deng Yarong will also become the crown prince's concubine, which is only one step away from the mother Yi world.

The last emperor married the daughter of the Fu family as his queen, and now he married the daughter of the Zheng family. The Fu family and the Zheng family divided the power of the Deng family little by little in the court. The Deng family was anxious, and the Empress Dowager might also be a little anxious. However, as the most noble person in Dayin's status, she had to consider more. Not only should she consider the interests of the Zheng family, but also weigh the interests of the royal family. If Deng Yarong became a little more, the Empress Dowager might have agreed with the Zheng family's idea, but Deng Yarong was spoiled and impulsive and could not take on a great responsibility.

After making up his mind, Xu Shu spoke slowly, "Since the Empress Dowager asked the minister to tell the truth, the minister would be blunt. If there is any offense, please ask the Empress Dowager to atone for his sins!"

"Just say it! No matter what you say, the Ai family doesn't blame you!"

"I heard from the palace servants that Yigong was used to choose a concubine for the eldest prince. As the emperor just said that the Deng family seemed to intend to let Miss Deng Wu enter the palace to accompany the eldest prince. The minister felt that this was inappropriate!"

"Where is it inappropriate?" the Empress Dowager asked, her tone of an urgent tone.

Xu Shu replied truthfully, "Miss Deng Wu is lively and smart, which may solve the temporary difficulties, but she is not calm and generous enough, and she is difficult to bear the virtuous people in peace. Since she has no virtuous people in peace, how can she resist foreign countries? Therefore, my daughter thinks that Miss Deng Wu is not suitable. For the country's major plan, the empress should choose another virtuous person!"

Xu Shu's words reached the heart of the Empress Dowager. Deng Yarong was not bad, she was cute and cute. Although she was a little tricky, it was also a pleasure to look at her. However, Deng Yarong's personality really couldn't bear the responsibility of the eldest prince's concubine. The royal selection of women only focused on family background and talents, and how could a woman without talent manage the Six Palaces in the future? The Six Palaces are uneasy, so how could the king deal with government affairs with five worries?

"You are so right!" The Empress Dowager patted Xu Shu's hand with deep insights, "Yarong is not suitable! Her personality cannot enter the palace! But her parents don't believe it, so they come to the palace repeatedly and beg the Ai family. It's difficult for the Ai family to deal with!"

Is it really difficult to deal with? Xu Shu doesn't believe it! The Empress Dowager actually made a decision long ago, but it just needs an excuse.

"The Empress is not only a member of the Deng family, but also the Empress Dowager of Dayin. Every decision you make is related to the destiny of the country, and it is difficult to lie in the responsibility you shoulder!"

"Responsibility..." The Empress Dowager savored these two words carefully, "Yes! Responsibility! Nine Girls, Ai's family has been in the palace for almost forty years, and they are almost forgotten by the burden on their shoulders. Every step of the Ai family is very dangerous. Ai's family has suffered so much and so many sins along the way. Ai's family doesn't want Yarong Girls to suffer this kind of suffering. This is not a suitable place for her life in the palace wall!"

"Empression of the Empress!" Xu Shufeng praised.

The Empress Dowager smiled, "You are indeed a good child. The Ai family has read you wrong!"

Xu Shu didn't understand what the Empress Dowager said, and the Empress Dowager said again, "You have an engagement with the Qi family, but Yarong has delusions with the Qi family Xiaosi. The Ai family thought you would strongly agree to let Yarong enter the palace. When she entered the palace, she naturally broke the thoughts with the Qi family, but she didn't expect that what you said was exactly the opposite of what the Ai family thought!"

This is the real purpose of the Empress Dowager! Test his attitude towards the Qi family, but why did the Empress Dowager suddenly become interested in the Qi family?

"The engagement between the daughter of my daughter and the Qi family..." Xu Shu paused for a moment, "The daughter of my daughter no longer thinks about him. She is a blind man... and the other one is useless, and she is not qualified to mention it!"

"Silly child!" The Empress Dowager shook her head and said in disagreement, "This is a marriage that the late emperor promised. If his family dares not abide by, it means that they will resist the order. They don't have the courage to measure them! Don't worry, the Ai family will make the decision for you!"

Xu Shu has entered the palace many times in recent years, but the Empress Dowager has never expressed any view on the engagement between Xu Shu and Qi family so clearly. Including the last birthday party, the Empress Dowager's attitude was ambiguous. This was the first time. It was so sudden and so clear that it could even be considered tough. This was definitely not out of pity and pity for her, and Xu Shu had to be alert.

The Empress Dowager's attitude was obviously in favor of this engagement. I don't know if it was true or another test. No matter what the Empress Dowager meant, Xu Shu wanted to express her unwillingness at this time, which was the safest answer, "Aunt Qi... She is very nice to her ministers and daughters, and often sends people to visit her ministers and daughters, but her ministers and daughters are also self-aware. The Xu family is not worthy of the Qi family, and the ministers and daughters are not suitable for marriage!"

After hearing Xu Shu's answer, the Empress Dowager indeed showed an unexpected smile, and was not surprised at Xu Shu's answer at all, "Nine Girls! You are still talking for the Qi family! You don't say what the Qi family is, the Ai family understands. They think that the late emperor has gone, so they can ignore this engagement! Don't worry, since it was the marriage given by the late emperor himself, the Ai family has no choice but to regret it. The Ai family wants to see how many heads the Qi family dare to resist the order and refuse to obey it!"

After the Empress Dowager said that when she saw Xu Shu staying alone, she realized that her tone just now was too strict, so she smiled. "Don't be afraid, with Ai's family here, I'll ask Qi's family to carry a sedan chair and marry you back!"
