Chapter 143 The Secret Guard
Since she fell into the water two days ago, the queen is now thinking more and more clearly.

She was shrunk in Fengyi Palace and was not in charge, yet someone still wanted to harm her. If so, then she had to live well and get back the rights that belonged to the queen.

Besides, Dong Shu is no different than ordinary courtiers in her heart, because Dong Shu serves her sincerely, she naturally has a little more sincerity towards Dong Shu.

Now that something like this happened, she didn't need to think to know that she was implicated. That's why she didn't care about Rui Kangdi's face, and said these words directly.

Emperor Ruikang also knew Empress Hu's temper very well, if he hadn't become angry today, he would never have said such a thing.

But because of what happened to the crown prince ten years ago, he now favors the few remaining sons. He only thinks that they are all his own sons. Since he lost the most important son, the remaining sons are not as good as the sons. But I can't bear to give up one or two.

It is precisely because of this that no matter how many wrong things the third prince has done in the past two years, he will reprimand him at most, and he has never dealt harshly again.

Emperor Ruikang also knew that he was getting older and could not be cruel, but he also knew in his heart that he owed Queen Hu.

Now Empress Hu has finally met a caring person, who loves her sincerely in front of the younger generation, and that person is also a knowledgeable person, but happened to meet today's incident again.

Empress Hu saw that Emperor Ruikang just frowned and said nothing, so she guessed that he was unwilling to part with another old problem, but she also knew in her heart that she can be cruel to those who do it, but she can't really let him because of what happened today. Emperor Ruikang punished him.

Otherwise, as long as he thinks about what happened today and feels sorry for his son, Dong Shu will become someone he despises.

After thinking for a while, Empress Hu looked straight at Emperor Ruikang and said, "Before Shu'er left today, she promised me to visit the palace, but now something like this has happened, I'm afraid she will never dare to leave home again." It is." After saying this, seeing Emperor Ruikang thinking about opening his mouth, he hurriedly continued: "If General Xu is still here, and his daughter-in-law is bullied like this, he must send a hundred or eighty personal guards Protection, he protects his family the most."

When Emperor Ruikang heard Empress Hu mentioning his old friend, his eyes became more yearning. After thinking for a while, he said casually, "Then I will arrange some personal guards for Shu'er?"

"Just give some personal guards?" Empress Hu saw Emperor Ruikang thinking down her own thoughts, and hurriedly answered, "My lord, my palace is desolate now, and I really like Shu'er's temperament. I want to take it away." She is a righteous daughter, so give her the title of County Lord."

As soon as Empress Hu finished speaking, Emperor Ruikang immediately shook his head and said: "Although Shu'er is good, she is not a royal daughter after all, and the county magistrate is not suitable." After saying this, Emperor Ruikang saw that Empress Hu's face was ugly, and finally said: "No If you make her a township monarch. According to our royal rules, the great-great-granddaughter of the county king can be named a township monarch. Giving her such a position now is considered a high value for her. As for the matter of you wanting to accept her as a righteous daughter, you'll have to wait Good waiting."

Empress Hu originally wanted Emperor Ruikang to give Dong Shu a status. It would be great if she was granted the title of county lord, and she didn't dislike being low-ranked if she only had one township lord.

Only with a title and status can she pamper her openly and arrange people for her in the future.

"Since that's the case, the Holy One would like to give Shu'er a better title, after all, she is from the Xu family."

Empress Hu was well aware of Emperor Ruikang's regret and guilt for Xu Zhenbei's early death, so it is not easy to subsidize the Xu family openly now, and naturally wants to get some benefits for the Xu family by giving herself the name of serving the sick.

When Emperor Ruikang heard Empress Hu's words, he dispelled his thought of arranging things at will, and couldn't help but pay more attention to the title of Dong Shu.

"Well, I will think about this matter carefully when I get back. You have arranged for someone to send a message to the Xu family village early tomorrow morning. Naturally, the imperial decree is to wait for them to return to the capital and receive the decree in the mansion in the capital."

Emperor Ruikang wanted to send a message to Master Xuanling, and it was best to ask Master Xuanling if it was okay to arrange this matter.

Empress Hu saw that Emperor Ruikang had already made arrangements, so she didn't say anything else, but told Emperor Ruikang clearly that in this case, she should arrange more rewards for Dong Shu.

Emperor Ruikang now hopes that Empress Hu will forget about Dong Shu being intercepted and killed. Hearing the empress mentioning this, he naturally agrees and tells the empress to give Dong Shu more rewards. that is.

The queen got Ruikangdi's words, so she decided to go to Ruikangdi's private treasury to choose some things for Dong Shu.

After Emperor Ruikang left, Empress Hu summoned Nanny Hu and asked her to arrange eight secret guards from the Moon Generation to go to Dong Shu's side to protect her.

Mother Hu was still a little dazed when she heard the queen's arrangement, but when she saw the serious look on Queen Hu's face, she knew that her master had made up her mind to protect her well.

"Yes, my servant will arrange it now."

Mammy Hu didn't mention the matter of arranging the secret guards, Zhuang Zi originally wanted to invite Yan Ye to have dinner at the family banquet, but was rejected, but only asked Xu Shiqiu for a few jars of good wine, saying that he still likes to drink alone.

Xu Shiqiu didn't expect Yan Ye to reply like this, and after sending someone to fetch good wine to deliver to Yan Ye, he sat alone and thought for a long time.

Although Yan Ye couldn't see through him, he hadn't felt any malice from him so far.

Today he saved the little lady again, this kindness cannot be erased.

It's just because I was so defensive before, but now it's not easy to get close, so I must have spent a lot of thought.

Dong Shu didn't know her husband's troubles. She hadn't returned home for many days, and today she was intercepted and killed. When she returned to Shihuan Courtyard after the family dinner at night, she fell asleep after taking a bath. She didn't let Yuan Xi go to bed early without waiting for Xu Shiqiu.

It was almost noon when she woke up the next day, Yuan Xi had already been taken away, and the yard was very quiet, no movement could be heard at all.

When she woke up, Ling Xiang brought He Xiang and Li Xiang into the house to wait on her. Before she could ask about the family affairs, Nanny Yan had already entered quickly, and waved the three of them back.

"Sister Yan, but what happened?"

Dong Shu's long hair was only half combed, and Nurse Yan stepped forward and continued to comb Dong Shu's hair, but she looked nervous but said with a little joy: "Ma'am, the eight girls arranged by the empress Secret guards are here to protect you."

Dong Shu didn't understand why Nanny Yan was so happy, but Xu Shiqiu had only heard about the 'secret guards' once, saying that in two years' time, she would start arranging some secret guards to protect Yuan Xi in the future.

Today, when Mother Yan mentioned Secret Guards, she immediately thought of Xu Shiqiu's words before, and thought of the Queen's thoughts for her, and said with reddened eyes, "Your Majesty treats me as a daughter in pain."

Seeing that Dong Shu understood what the queen was thinking, Nanny Yan couldn't help but deepen the smile on her face, "When I was serving in Fengyi Palace, I heard Madam Su mention by chance that there are secret guards around the empress." , Sister Yan put away the smile on her face, sighed and continued: "It's just that at first the secret guards were trained to keep the prince, but when the prince had an accident, the secret guards had just started to make arrangements. After so many years In the past, I thought that the secret guard was gone, but I didn't expect that today the empress will reward the eight-month-old secret guard to Madam."

As soon as Nanny Yan mentioned 'Prince', Dong Shu knew what was going on.

In the past, not only Xu Shiqiu, but also Mrs. Xu and Xu Nuanwen had advised her a lot, saying that talking about the crown prince was a queen's taboo.

Unexpectedly, today he got Yu Hui from the first prince.

While speaking, Nanny Yan had already arranged Dong Shu's long hair, and after inserting a hairpin for Dong Shu, she went outside the door.

Sister Yan first sent He Xiang and Li Xiang in the yard to arrange lunch, then asked Ling Xiang to stare at the courtyard door, and finally made some random gestures in the air.

Almost at the moment when Mammy Yan made her hand gesture, eight young girls dressed in cyan clothes and short brown clothes flew out of nowhere from the yard.

Dong Shu didn't expect that the secret guard arranged by the empress empress would be a woman, but thinking of her own identity, she thought it would be more convenient for her to be a woman.

Seeing the joy on Dong Shu's face, Sister Yan hurriedly introduced: "They are Yue Zhi, Yue Bei, Yue Ping, Yue Yin, Yue Qian, Yue Rong, Yue Ruo, Yue Xuan from the Yue generation. They grew up together, and now they are all arranged by the empress to protect the safety of the wife."

Mi Wei mostly hides in the dark, and now the eight of them seldom show up, and they are separated from their old masters, so it looks a bit unnatural.

It was the first time for Dong Shu to see so many secret guards. She was puzzled but didn't want to ask any more questions. She immediately said, "Yue Zhi and Yue Bei are going to protect Yuan Xi, and the remaining six will be together in three hours. Change. If I want to go out, I will take a few more people out." After saying this, Dong Shu thought about it for a while and continued with a slightly flushed cheek, "If my husband-in-law is by my side in the future, you should stay away."

As soon as Dong Shu's words fell, the eight secret guards of the moon generation immediately saluted in response to 'nuo'.

"Nurse Yan, from now on, you will arrange the affairs of the eight of them. If you need anything, go directly to the warehouse to get it." Dong Shu didn't know secret guards, so she didn't dare to take care of them, and only handed them over to Nurse Yan. .

Seeing that Dong Shu trusted her so much, Sister Yan immediately responded directly to the matter.

Dong Shu got the secret guard, and she was excited for a while, but she thought about telling her mother-in-law at home, and telling her husband at night.

The most important thing is that if they all follow her closely in the future, what should she do if she wants to have some private conversations with her mother-in-law and aunt.

Because of this, Dong Shu suppressed her surprise a little bit, only thinking about this matter and not knowing what to do.

Seeing Dong Shu's changing expression, Nanny Yan thought for a while, and after all the secret guards 'disappeared' again, she still told her what the queen said.

"Well, how can this be done." When Dong Shu heard that she would have the title of Township Lord, she was frightened and flustered.

Nanny Yan had already told her about the ranks of 'princess, county lord, county lord, township lord'.

Mother Yan also said before that these are titles that only royal women can have. Although there were women who were appointed in the previous dynasty, but only royal women have this honor today.

According to the current rank of her family's husband, even if she wins the eyes of the empress, she will be at most a fifth-rank pleasant.

But who would have thought that he could be named the country lord.

Thinking about this matter in his heart, he put aside the matter of secret guards for the time being, and walked directly to the main courtyard of Mrs. Xu without thinking about eating.

The old lady Xu looked at Dong Shu coming in a hurry, thinking that something happened again, but who knew it was such a thing.

"Mom, what should I do?"

Dong Shu was really scared. Although she was happy, she was really scared.

She understands her identity, although her husband's family used to have a rank of general who ruled the country, but now her father-in-law is only a middle-level general.

What's more, my natal family is even more invisible, if I am really granted the title of Xiangjun now, what should I do in the future?
The old lady Xu was not as flustered as Dong Shu. Seeing tears in her nervous eyes, she took her hand and comforted her: "Don't worry too much, the empress is always sincere to you. You are like your own daughter, if you really have this good fortune, from now on you will treat the Empress as your own mother and be filial."

After the old lady Xu comforted her like this, Dong Shu calmed down.

But she was still worried about this matter in her heart, and the previous smile was no longer on her face.

"Mother, I will honor my mother, even if my mother doesn't give me anything, I will also honor my mother." After saying this, Dong Shu murmured again: "I am filial to my mother, not for these things."

When Mrs. Xu heard what Dong Shu said, she raised her hand and nodded her forehead and said, "It's such a blessing. If it were someone else, it would be too late to be happy, but you are so scared." After saying this, Mrs. Xu smiled Xiao continued: "Don't think too much, the empress has her intentions for making such an arrangement. Since the empress has already sent someone to send a message, then arrange it today, pack up and move back to Beijing in two days. So, you also So I can receive the imperial decree and enter the palace to thank you."

When Dong Shu heard Mrs. Xu's words, she immediately nodded in response.

But she was still thinking about this matter in her heart, thinking that it would be better to wait for Xianggong to come back at night and ask him carefully.
