258, Shun Shui

Xu Shu arrived early, and there were already groups of people waiting at the palace gate. Xu Shu got off the carriage and someone came over, "Sister Shu, where did you go last night? I... I've looked for you all night!"

Xu Shu tightly squeezed her cuffs and tried to keep her tone to the most peaceful state, "Is my father here to send an imperial edict? I can't get in without an imperial edict, so I can't get in. If I can't get in the Xu family, I will be considered resistant!"

Xu Shu stretched out his hand, and Xu Hui took out the imperial edict with trembling and gently put it in Xu Shu's hand. It is true that he came to send the imperial edict, but he wanted to see what Xu Shu was like.

Xu Shu took the imperial edict and bypassed Xu Hui, walked straight to the eunuch holding the roster book at the palace gate, without looking back at the whole journey.

The eunuch took the imperial edict and looked at it. He found Xu's woman in the roster book to draw a circle. Someone led her to wait aside, "Miss, please wait a moment. When the time comes, someone will come to lead you in to meet the Empress Dowager!"

Xu Hui looked at Xu Shu being led to the ten sedan chairs lined up at the palace gate, then lifted the curtain and sat in. Xu Hui suddenly covered his chest and coughed violently, and a strong smell of blood poured into his mouth. However, Xu Hui gritted his teeth and turned around in despair, and walked back step by step towards the morning sun. In the halo of the morning, Xu Hui's figure was as desolate as a lonely and helpless old man.

Gao Zhinan was the last one to arrive. When she arrived, the other nine people had already sat in the sedan chair. Therefore, Gao Zhinan did not see Xu Shu. It was not until he got off the sedan chair in front of the Cining Palace that Gao Zhinan could see a familiar figure in the crowd. He pushed forward and passed the familiar figure and saw that it was Xu Shu.

"Why are you here?" Gao Zhinan did not hide his shock.

"Come and accompany Sister Zhinan!" Xu Shu smiled playfully, as if she was the same as usual.

Gao Zhinan frowned, "No wonder! You know where Rouran is, but when you advise me, you spoke righteously. This matter is very important, so why don't you go back soon!"

Xu Shu shook her head as she heard the sound of the slowly opening of the Cining Palace gate, "It's too late, Sister Zhinan, it's easy to get in and out of this palace gate!"

Gao Zhinan looked at the majestic female official who walked out of Cining Palace with red eyes. Then he looked at Xu Shu's thin back, and the corners of his eyes felt ache. Xu Shu definitely didn't come to accompany her. There were only ten people in total. The Xu family also received the imperial edict for marriage, but unexpectedly, Xu Shu was abandoned by the Xu family.

Following the female official, ten beautiful girls walked into the Cining Palace with their eyebrows and eyes curled up. The Empress Dowager above was talking to the Empress Dowager below. When the women greeted the emperor, the Empress Dowager didn't even raise his eyelids. It was the Empress Dowager who was surprised and said, "Miss Xu Jiu?" before she raised her head to look at the ten people who were worshiping.

"Shu girl?" The Empress Dowager frowned, looked at the female official, and asked with confusion whether she had made the wrong person.

The female official knelt down and replied, "I have confirmed my identity, there is no mistake!"

Xu Shu silently presented the imperial edict, and immediately a palace maid took it over. After seeing it, the Empress Dowager's eyes were clear. Anyone with discerning eyes knew that the decree was given to Xu Ting, but the Xu family pretended to be confused and deliberately used Xu Shu as a substitute. The Xu family dared to play such a trick. It was such a courage!

But the imperial edict was sent by the emperor, and there was indeed time to get involved. The Empress Dowager looked cold and did not speak anymore. She waved her hand and asked someone to take a row of girls down, "Take them to Chuxiu Palace to learn the rules!"

The female official was about to lead a row of girls out when she received the order. At this time, the queen suddenly stood up and said, "Mother, I have something to deal with in the palace, so I will go back first!"

The Empress Dowager nodded kindly, "You are heavy, so you don't have to come here every day. If you have anything to do, just condemn the palace maids!"

The queen touched her stomach and said shyly, "Thank you for your kindness. My mother was just worried when I was in Kunning Palace. My stomach was noisy and hustle. When I arrived at my mother, I calmed down. I was afraid that this child wanted to get closer to his grandmother!"

The Empress Dowager laughed happily, "Okay, okay! I have been so filial since I was a child. When he was born, the Ai family will be rewarded with great rewards!"

The queen thanked the Empress Dowager happily and was supported by the palace maid and went out. She glanced at the long dragon behind the female official and said to the people who served around her, "It's okay to go back, so why not go to Chuxiu Palace to see the fun!"

The palace maids did not dare to stop them, so they helped the queen to the phoenix chariot and headed to Chuxiu Palace.

Except for Gao Zhinan, the remaining ten girls who were sent to the house were forced by the emperor's order, and they all showed miserable faces. Although Xu Shu did not show her grief and anger, she had to suffer one after another. Yesterday, she was drunk and assassinated. After a lot of trouble, she felt a little unsatisfied and fell into the eyes of the female official, just like everyone else. Gao Zhinan looked as usual, and the female official praised her very much.

All the women of aristocratic families were present, and most of them had no problem with the rules and etiquette. The female official brought them over mainly to emphasize their responsibilities for sending them to Rouran.

"Your fathers and brothers or uncles are all pillars of our dynasty. It is because the emperor has selected you all. What you are responsible for is Dayin's prosperity and future, and the diplomatic relations between Dayin and Rouran. From the moment you left the capital, your words and deeds represent the entire Dayin, and you must not be misunderstood! You must work together with the Princess Chang'an and assist the princess with all your heart! Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand!" the women responded in unison.

The female official nodded with satisfaction, waved over to two palace maids holding the scroll, and walked to everyone. The palace maid unfolded the scroll, which was a map, but it was Rouran. It seemed that the female official would tell them something about Rouran next, so that they would not be able to adapt after they had nothing to Rouran.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted outside, "The Empress is here!"

The female official hurriedly led the girls to salute!

The queen waved her hand, sat down freely, and said with a smile, "You guys continue, I'm just here to take a look!"

The female official was ordered to continue talking, but then the queen said again, "Miss Xu Jiu can't see it again, so she's standing there in vain. Come and sit with me!"

The female official urged Xu Shu, "You can't go quickly!"

Xu Shu bowed and walked towards the queen, "Greetings to the Queen!"

The queen sighed, "I never expected that I would see you again in this situation! When the emperor issued that imperial edict, I did not expect that it would be you at all!"

"The emperor's order cannot be violated!"

The queen shook her head and looked unbearable, "If I had thought of this, I should have asked the emperor for a favor. I still owe you a favor!"

"The Queen is very kind, and I am grateful to you!"
