After the Fu brothers left, Li's burning eyes fell on Qi Rui. He looked at Qi Rui and Xu Ting. No matter how he looked, he felt that he was very compatible. When he saw the two of them talking and behaved very closely, he felt very relieved. This would make him more sure of his marriage with Qi family!

Today she originally wanted to finalize Xu Jie's marriage. The appearance of the Qi brothers was completely unexpected, and when she met the Fu brothers, she was even more happy!

Li felt refreshed and his previous fatigue was wiped out. He looked at Xu Shu who was standing on her and stood up, "I'll go watch Sister Yuan play chess!"

Qi Peng looked at the location of Xu Yuan, then looked at the empty seat left after Fu Junxian left. Sure enough, between Xu Yuan and Qi Rui, he immediately understood that Li said that going to watch Xu Yuan play chess is just a cover, and she was going to talk to Qi Rui.

After Li left, Xu Shu asked Xu Jie to sit in Li's seat and sat on the brocade stool that Fu Junqian had just moved.

Qi Peng looked at Xu Jie who was very close to him. The idea of ​​whispering to Xu Shu was dispelled. He was afraid that someone would eavesdrop. Xu Jie also realized that it was inappropriate for him to sit here, so she asked the girl to find another brocade bench and sit next to Xu Zu. Only then did Qi Peng speak boldly to Xu Shu.

"It seems that your family has made a decision!"

What was Qi Peng’s decision? Xu Shu knew in her heart and raised her eyebrows coldly, “Is it okay that you are allowed to have a plan for the Qi family, so that our Xu family will not have to choose?”

Although Xu Shu's tone was cold and her expression was also indifferent, she could tell that she was not angry after careful analysis, and she was calm in common sense.

"Yes! Everyone has the right to choose!" Qi Peng nodded, "but your decision seems to be somewhat contrary to our decision!"

"That doesn't matter!" Xu Shu said mockingly. In fact, every time Xu Shu mentioned this ridiculous marriage grant, she couldn't help but feel mocking, "This is a marriage grant, and it always has to be decided by the superiors. The decisions of the Xu Qi and the two families are not important!"

Xu Shu hit the nail on the head. It is true that no matter what the Qi family thinks or what the Xu family plans, it will be a waste of money if they cannot pass the above hurdle.

Qi Peng looked at Xu Shu, as if he had something to say, but he couldn't say it. He just sighed slightly. He was just catching up on the wind and shadows. Since it was something that could not be done accurately, it would be better not to publicize it everywhere.

"Why did Grand Prince Qi stop talking?"

After thinking about it, Qi Peng still felt that he should tell Xu Shu that it had something to do with Xu Shu after all. "I was ordered to enter the palace a while ago. After hearing what the Empress Dowager said, I felt that it might have something to do with you!"

"It's about the marriage granted by the late emperor?" As soon as Qi Peng spoke, Xu Shu expected what was going on.

Qi Peng nodded and was slightly surprised, "Do you know?"

"When I entered the palace last winter, the Empress Dowager told me!" Xu Shu looked a little depressed. The Empress Dowager's persistence and persistence in giving marriage was very unfavorable to her, but this was a gift for the Empress Dowager and a deterrent to the Qi family. Where did the Qi family offend the Empress Dowager?

"The Empress Dowager seems very persistent in this matter, and insists on letting my fourth brother marry you. He even issued another imperial edict to urge this marriage. It was my grandmother who pleaded for mercy that the Empress Dowager gave up the idea of ​​issuing the imperial edict, but he still did not let go of the marriage!" Qi Peng suddenly smiled coldly, "My father said that if I asked me to marry you, he agreed without saying a word. The Empress Dowager immediately spat on him and said that he was a fool. To this day, my father still looked angry. He probably thought I was a waste and was useless in the eyes of others. Of course, I don't feel worthy of you!"

"Blind man vs. cripple... As expected, everyone thinks this way!" After hearing such words, Xu Shu was extremely calm, "But you are no longer lame now, and I am still blind!"

"It will get better!" Qi Peng believed that with Xu Shu's ability, she would definitely have a way to see the light again.

"Maybe!" Xu Shu smiled indifferently and asked suddenly, "You Qi family have been recently, especially since the second half of last year. Is there any place 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, our grandfather, father and several uncles are not in important positions and will not have disputes with the Deng family in the court. As for the Empress Dowager, our Qi family dare not offend us. If we insist on saying that there is anything that makes the Empress Dowager unhappy in our family, it should be your marriage with the fourth brother!"

Xu Shu shook her head, "Marriage is the result, what I am looking for is the cause!"

Qi Peng was stunned, racked his brains and thought for a while, and finally said unsure, "You said that starting from the second half of last year, there is something at this time, and I don't know if it has anything to do with this?"

"What's up?"

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

Concubine Zhen? That is Zhou Jin’s biological mother!

In connection with Zhou Jin's appearance in the capital last year, Xu Shu could almost conclude that the real reason why the Empress Dowager took his anger on Qi's family must be related to Zhou Jin.

The late emperor passed away for many years, and the Zhen Concubine, who was a concubine of the late emperor, had not appeared in the world for many years. Qi Peng thought that Xu Shu didn't know that Zhen Concubine was, so he started to explain from the beginning.

"Zhenfei is the adopted daughter of the Qi family. In terms of seniority, I would like to call her aunt! The late emperor and the current queen mother had been married for many years but had no chance. The queen mother advocated that the talent show enrich the harem and continue the royal bloodline. It was the first talent show in the late emperor's reign and the only time. Zhenfei entered the palace at that time. Because of her outstanding appearance, she was promoted to a concubine in three months after entering the palace. The next year she was pregnant and gave birth to the eldest son of the late emperor. The late emperor named her crown prince and promoted her mother to Zhenfei. When the late emperor died, Dayin was worried about the fact that she was in charge of the throne. After he ascended the throne, he changed the title of the late emperor's crown prince to King Pingning and sent him to the Northern Di as a lord. The queen mother was sorry for her young King Pingning and was afraid that she could not take care of herself, so she ordered Zhenfei to join King Pingning and join King Pingning!"

Qi Peng said it was plain, but only the person involved knew how many bloody storms had been experienced between the plain words.

"The outside of the border is bitter and cold, and the northern di is barbaric. When Concubine Zhen first arrived, she was not used to the life of the Northern Di. She often sent people to the capital to cry and tell me. At that time, how Dayin dared to offend the Northern Di, so the palace would send people to send some things to show comfort. As time went by, in the second year, Concubine Zhen never sent anyone to the capital again. Until last autumn, Concubine Zhen sent people to the capital again to express her intention to return to the south. After receiving the letter, the Empress Dowager called her grandfather and father into the palace. I don't know what she said specifically. There was nothing abnormal after the grandfather and father left the palace! If you hadn't mentioned it today, I wouldn't remember this matter! Do you think it's related to this matter?"
