After Xu Shu moved to Taohua Villa, news about the Xu family continued to come. For example, the Han family blatantly bargained with the Xu family for Xu Jie's dowry, which made Xu Jie lose all his face, but Li was very patient and explained to the Han family, which made Xu Jie feel embarrassed for several days.

For example, Xu Su, who had been to Yongle Hou Xiao for a few days, was mistakenly regarded by the drunk second son of Liang as Xu Yan's innocence. In order to make up for the mistake, the Liang family wanted to formally take Xu Su as a concubine for Liang Wen. The second wife of Xu did not say a word. Yi was so angry that he suddenly felt sick. He sent a letter to the Liang family to ask Xu Yan to come back to serve him. Xu Yan gritted the bullet and came back. When he left, he was swollen and could not even cover him. Later, Wang agreed to the marriage, and Xu Su finally got into the Liang family as his concubine as his wish. Xu Yan did treat her like a sister and did not treat her harshly because of her identity as a concubine. Xu Su was secretly happy that he had finally made the right move. With the eldest prince, the Liang family's wealth was just around the corner. Even if she was just a concubine, she could still benefit from it, which was much better than being married by Yi.

However, Xu Sheng's secret joy did not last long. At the end of spring, the good news that the queen was pregnant suddenly came from the palace, and the Liang family's status suddenly became subtle.

As the second pregnant woman among the concubines in the harem of the emperor today, the queen has attracted much attention because of her identity as a palace. Compared with the eldest prince born to Shufei, who was born as an actor, the child in the queen's belly is much nobler.

The Empress Dowager was overjoyed and put the matter of the eldest prince's choice of concubine aside, taking care of the queen's fetus wholeheartedly. In order to prevent trivial matters from disturbing the queen's fetus from maintaining the fetus, she took on the responsibility of managing the harem without hesitation.

Now the emperor is very happy and issued an edict to pardon the world. Anyone who is not forgiven can be exempted from punishment or reduced sentence, which means that the exiled Song family is coming back.

Sure enough, the Song family was exiled for corruption and dereliction of duty in the subsequent pardon order. Li had no words after learning the news. He had known that he should have not listened to Xu Hui at the beginning. He should have retired from the marriage with the Song family early. Although the Song family has been pardoned, he is only a civilian after returning to the capital. How can he be worthy of the Xu family? There is also the Fu family, what a good family, and just had some friendship, but the Song family suddenly came back. Now, her plan has been disrupted. Li has a calm face and vented all the people who can vent their anger in his heart.

The palace was naturally inseparable from the wedding of such a great pregnancy, but only invited relatives and nobles. The Empress Dowager sent someone to invite Xu Shu. When she learned that Xu Shu had gone to the village, she went to the villa and delivered the oral order.

After stomping on the snow, he found out from the eunuch who was passing the oral order that Qi Rui was invited to the palace banquet. Qi Rui was the only person invited to the palace in the Duke Rong Mansion. Xu Shu understood the intention of the Empress Dowager to ask her to enter the palace. The Empress Dowager was indeed a person who would never give up until he achieved his goal. What should she do? How can she get rid of the Qi family? Get rid of the damn marriage?

"By the way!" Xu Shu suddenly thought of someone, "Will Miss Deng Wu enter the palace?"

Taxue nodded, "The Deng family will never miss the banquet in the palace!"

"Yes!" Xu Shu nodded. The undecided candidate for the eldest prince's concubine was Mrs. Deng's goal. Now, what I thought was a foregone conclusion suddenly had room for a return, and Mrs. Deng would definitely bring Deng Yarong into the palace.

Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and Jingjing came in with a letter, "The letter from the teacher to the lady!"

"Give it!" Xu Shu hurriedly opened the letter, and after reading it, he felt much more at ease. "My master will enter the palace with me in three days!"

"That's great!" Taxue said happily, "With the master here, no ghost or monster dares to attack the lady!"

Xu Shu closed the letter and put it back into the envelope, took it and put it into the box beside her. The boxes were all exactly the same envelope, which was a letter from Xu Shu and Master Miaofan over the years.

"This time, Master brought his disciples to the palace to perform rituals and rituals to protect the queen. It's not just Master, so I may not be able to meet Master after entering the palace!" Although he said this, Xu Shu was obviously much more relaxed. After all, if you don't look at the monks and look at the Buddha's face, with Master Miaofan, the Empress Dowager would have to be a little concerned.

"Are we going to Hanxi Temple first in three days?" asked Taxue.

"No!" Xu Shu shook her head, "We will go tomorrow. Let's stay in the temple for two days first, and then go directly from Hanxi Temple in three days!"

Taxue wrote down, "Then I will arrange it now. Will the lady only bring Huafeng this time?"

Xu Shu nodded. The eldest prince's embarrassment against her was as clearly imprinted in his mind as what happened yesterday. Moreover, the eldest prince had intended to kidnap herself before. The palace banquet three days later was a good opportunity. The eldest prince would never let her go easily. Xu Shu didn't want another person to be involved.

Taxue was worried, "There must be many people in the palace that day, so she was afraid that she could not take care of her by herself!"

Xu Shu had already made a decision and shook her head firmly, "I won't walk around, it's enough to have a win-win situation!"

Taxue had no choice but to respect Xu Shu's decision. She only accompanied Xu Shu to the palace a few times, so it was better to enter the palace more often. In addition, Wan Feng came out of the palace again and knew more about the situation in the palace than she did, so she had no good advice to Wan Feng. She only emphasized that Wan Feng must keep guarding Xu Shu indifferently.

The next day, Xu Shu got up early. When she arrived at Hanxi Temple, she heard a chanting of scriptures from afar and stepped on the snow, "It's still morning class time, so we can still catch up with the morning vegetarian meal!"

The sister-in-law guarding the gate saw Xu Shu and her group happily and said, "What the master said is indeed not bad, Miss Xu Jiu is here!"

"The master is really a sage man, I know the lady is coming!"

Xu Shu lit up at the sister-in-law at the door and smiled, "This is not the first time you have come here. Is it obvious that once she didn't say that?"

Taxue smiled embarrassedly, and her sister-in-law took them to the yard where she rested and brought her vegetarian food. After the vegetarian food, she happened to finish the morning class. Xu Shu went to Master Miaofan's Zen room alone, without even taking the wind.

Xu Shu walked slowly. When she arrived at the Zen room, Master Miaofan was drinking tea and calmly called out, "Master!"

Master Miaofan Taixu pointed to the cushion opposite, "Sit down!"

Xu Shu sat down cross-legged, put her hands on her legs naturally, and called out again, "Master!"

"Say!" Master Miaofan put down the teacup and looked at Xu Shu.

Xu Shu lowered her head, as if she could feel Master Miao Fan looking straight at her.

"The disciple doesn't know that he should talk about it!" Xu Shu looked confused. There were so many things that happened in the second half of last year, which made her overwhelmed and exhausted.
