Xu Shiqiu was puzzled, but he didn't ask the question, and only planned to investigate it privately.

As long as the second brother and sister-in-law don't want to calculate their family, it is naturally a good thing that they have such a change.

Xu Xiaozhi and the Jiang family are very happy, they came to the main house today, and the most important thing is that Xu Yanlang's marriage wants to be entrusted to Mrs. Xu.

After all, with Mrs. Xu coming forward, Xu Yanlang can also find a better marriage, which both of them and his wife understand.

The Jiang family wanted to calculate Dong Shu, after all, although the matter of her happiness was not publicized, people in the capital now have already known about it.

Since they are a family, the blessing of her brother and daughter-in-law, she should rub it off.

It's just that in front of the eldest son's marriage, the Jiang family can still endure this matter.

As for the Xu family, although they were unhappy in their hearts, they didn't dare to show it.

Because they haven't figured out what Ruikangdi's attitude is towards Xu Shiqiu.

Just after the two rooms finished talking about things, the kitchen sent a few plates of pastries made by Dong Shu after discussing with the cook before.

After Mrs. Xu specially pointed out that this was Dong Shu's idea, and Xu Nuanwen's family liked it very much, the big room and the second room of the Xu family were ready to take the opportunity to taste the pastries and get close to Dong Shu.

Regardless of whether their goal can be achieved or not, Dong Shu's thoughts are the same.

It's just that before the two of them could make a move, the concierge suddenly came to report that Mrs. Zhang, the nephew and daughter-in-law of Concubine De in the palace, came to give an apology.

"The Zhang family is here to give an apology? Because of what happened in the palace before? As soon as Ye Shi heard the porter's words, he immediately blurted out such a sentence, and when he spoke, he didn't forget to glance at Dong Shu.

After Dong Shu noticed Ye's eyes, although he was dull for a moment, he quickly understood that this matter was related to him.

There are fewer doors in the second room, and I don't know what happened at the gate of the palace when Mrs. Xu took Dong Shu into the palace two days ago.

If it had been in the past, Jiang Shi would have been eager to ask, but today she couldn't help it.

Old Mrs. Xu looked at the Jiang family and didn't say anything, and the Ye family only said a word at the beginning and didn't speak again, so she looked at the servant standing in the hall and said, "Tell the eldest lady of the Zhang family that there is something going on at home today, and the Xu family will hold a banquet in a few days, and then invite the daughters of the Zhang family to come as guests." ”

Mrs. Xu didn't mean to see the Zhang family today, but she didn't make things too ugly.

After all, the Zhang family is her son-in-law's foreign family, and she doesn't want her daughter to be difficult.

It's just that I didn't see the Zhang family today, and I still lost the face of the Zhang family.

It's just that she later said that she would set up a banquet to invite the daughters of the Zhang family to be guests, and this matter will be revealed.

After the servant understood what Mrs. Xu meant, he withdrew.

When the servant left, Mrs. Xu looked at Dong Shu and said, "Dong, can you accept my way of dealing with it?" ”

After Dong Shu heard Mrs. Xu's words, she was obviously stunned, and at first glance, she didn't react in time to understand what Mrs. Xu meant.

Seeing her look like this, Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "I forgot about your character." After saying this, Mrs. Xu explained: "We can't tear our faces with the Zhang family now, and since the Zhang family takes the initiative to apologize, we can't keep talking about this matter." However, according to the temperament of the Zhang family, there will definitely be compensation for you afterwards, so you can wait with peace of mind. ”

As soon as Mrs. Xu finished speaking, Dong Shu responded obediently: "Listen to my mother." ”

Dong Shu really didn't understand what was going on, but she probably knew that it was related to what happened to Zhang Yiran at the gate of the palace before, but why her mother-in-law did this, she hadn't fully figured it out.

The Xu family's big house knew something about this matter, so when Mrs. Xu was dealing with this matter, the second room wanted to speak, but thinking about Xu Yanlang's marriage, he didn't dare to speak for a while.

Mrs. Xu was very satisfied with their non-opening actions, and she couldn't help but smile a little more on her face.

The Xu family gathered in three rooms here, and Emperor Ruikang in the palace also took the initiative to come to Fengyi Palace to visit the queen.

"I look at you, your complexion in the past two days has been much better than the previous days." Because of the prince's affairs, Rui Kangdi has always felt guilty about the queen, so he will talk to the queen, and he is a little gentler than others.

If this was before, the queen would not have given Rui Kangdi a good face, but thinking of Dong Shu, the queen rarely heard Rui Kangdi's words, and then said: "The Dong family in the third room of the Xu family is indeed good, and I will be happy after she entered the palace two days ago." She sat beside me for a long time that day, and I felt much lighter in the past two days. ”

Almost as soon as the queen spoke, Rui Kangdi looked at her with shock and excitement and said, "Since this Dong family is really a blessed person, why don't you let her enter the palace to accompany Zitong?" ”

For many years, the queen had not spoken to him so calmly.

The queen was familiar with Emperor Ruikang's temperament, and when she heard his words, she immediately snorted coldly: "Your Majesty, it's better not to mess with these thoughts, haven't you forgotten what Master Xuanling said?" If this Dong family is forced into the palace, what if she is resentful? ”

Rui Kangdi wanted to say 'she didn't dare', but looking at the queen's cold snort, he finally held back and said: "Then according to Zitong's intentions, what should I do?" ”

"Naturally, I exchange sincerity for sincerity, I want people to really like it, and I regard me, a person who has no blood connection, as a relative, of course, I have to be good to her." The queen had already thought about this matter, but she didn't plan to ask Dong Shu for identity too early.

So after saying this, the queen didn't wait for Rui Kangdi to open her mouth and said directly: "But her background is too poor, and although many rules are still being learned, she has never learned them." I just thought, let her go into the palace to accompany me these days. When she really learns in the future, she will be given a suitable identity. ”

It was rare for Emperor Ruikang to wait until the queen said so much to him, so after hearing the queen's words, he did not object, but calmed down and thought about it carefully.

He still doesn't know what identity the queen wants to give Dong Shu, but thinking of what Master Xuanling said, he is also willing to use an identity to exchange a glimmer of hope for their royal family.

Thinking of this, Rui Kangdi looked at the queen and said, "I originally planned to meet Xu Shiqiu of the Xu family in a few days, why don't I let him take the Dong family into the palace tomorrow." When I see Xu Shiqiu, Zitong will see Dong? ”

The queen had long known that Emperor Ruikang had plans to meet Xu Shiqiu, so it was not surprising to hear him now.

She raised her eyebrows and squinted at Emperor Ruikang, as if she could see through his thoughts, and then said: "Since the emperor has a decree, the concubines obey the decree." After saying this, the queen who had achieved her goal didn't want to look at Rui Kangdi anymore, and closed her eyes directly.

Rui Kangdi wanted to say something, but when he saw that the queen closed her eyes and looked tired, he immediately couldn't help but continue to speak, but quietly left Fengyi Palace.

Rui Kangdi didn't feel that the queen was disrespectful to him, after all, it was the first time since the crown prince's accident ten years ago that the queen had talked so much to him.

Thinking of this, Rui Kangdi felt that the Dong family of the Xu family was really blessed, and he had just met the queen, and the queen had changed him so much.

Presumably a few more times, the queen will definitely change back to the way she was before to him.

In Fengyi Palace, as soon as Emperor Ruikang left, Mama Hu appeared behind the queen, bent down close to the queen and said softly: "The master wants to go into the inner room to rest?" ”

Hearing Mama Hu's voice, the queen didn't open her eyes, but said, "No." ”

Mama Hu has served the queen for many years, and when she heard the queen's voice, she knew that she remembered the past again.

"Master, is your attitude towards the emperor really useful today?"

Mama Hu picked up a topic that the queen would definitely be interested in, and sure enough, as soon as her words fell, the queen opened her eyes.

"Hmph, he feels guilty, it's rare for this palace to talk to him so much today, he must be overjoyed." After saying this, a trace of loneliness flashed on the queen's face, and then she returned to her former coldness, and continued to speak: "With such a temperament, he will definitely help the palace arrange everything because of guilt." ”

The queen understands that now that she has no children under her knees, and the Hu family is no longer as glorious as it used to be, if she opens her mouth to say that she is a woman from an ordinary person, there will definitely be people in the court who oppose it.

But if this matter was proposed by Rui Kangdi to compensate her, then the officials above the court, looking at the matter of ten years ago, although they were opposed, their voices would definitely be much less.

Mama Hu also understood this, but after listening to the queen's words, she said with a little hesitation: "But is she worthy of the master?" ”

The queen naturally understood that the 'she' in Mama Hu's mouth was Dong Shu, and when she thought of Dong Shu, the queen's face looked a little better than before.

"You don't understand, when you see her, this palace is happy in her heart, and she always feels that Wei'er is still there."

"Master!"

As soon as Mama Hu heard the queen mention the word 'Wei'er', she immediately exclaimed.

She really didn't expect that the queen would suddenly mention these two words.

The queen was not angry when she heard Mama Hu's exclamation, she shook her head with a smile and said, "You don't need to be nervous, I will only mention Wei'er's matter in front of you, and I will only mention it this time." After saying this, the queen really did not continue to mention the name.

When Mama Hu saw that the queen closed her eyes again, she didn't speak again, but took a light quilt and covered the queen.

What happened in the palace, the Xu family would naturally not know.

After the Xu family's big room and the Xu family's second room had lunch here, they left one after another, and after they all left, the palace sent a message to Xu Shiqiu to take Dong Shu into the palace tomorrow.

As soon as she heard the news, Dong Shu looked at Mama Yan, who came to pass the word, and said, "Last time, the queen mother told me to bring Yuan Xi next time I entered the palace, do you want to bring Yuan Xi tomorrow?" ”

As soon as Mama Yan heard Dong Shu's words, she immediately thought of Mama Su and Mama Hu's advice before leaving the palace.

"It's better for you to bring the three girls, and tomorrow the servant will follow you into the palace and help you take care of the three girls."

Yuan Xi ranks third among the girls in the Xu family, and Yan Mama has always called Yuan Xi 'three girls'.

She also told Dong Shu that she didn't need to bring the nurse or Ling Xiang into the palace, she would accompany her into the palace.

Dong Shu still trusts Mama Yan very much, although she has only been here for a few days, Dong Shu just thinks that Mama Yan looks indifferent, but she has no bad intentions.

As soon as Mama Yan saw Dong Shu's expression, she guessed her thoughts.

The expression on Mama Yan's face did not change, but her attitude towards Dong Shu was softer than before.

Because they were going to enter the palace the next day, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu both rested early this night.

Early the next morning, Dong Shu hugged Yuan Xi and took a mule cart with Xu Shiqiu to the palace.

It's just that they didn't expect that when they arrived at the gate of the palace, they met the third prince waiting here, Ye Jingche.
