Chapter 143: The Secret Guard
Since she fell into the water two days ago, the more she thinks about it, the more she understands it.
She is not in charge of shrinking in Fengyi Palace, and there are still people who want to harm her, since this is the case, then she wants to live well and take back the rights that belong to the queen.
And Dong Shu is no better than ordinary courtiers in her heart, because Dong Shu serves her sincerely, she is naturally a little more sincere to Dong Shu.
Now that something like this has happened, she doesn't have to think about it to know that she was implicated by herself, so she will ignore Rui Kangdi's face and say these words directly.
Rui Kangdi also knows Empress Hu's temperament, if she wasn't angry today, she would never say such a thing.
But because of the prince ten years ago, he now has a lot of favoritism for the only few sons, and he only feels that they are all his own sons, and he has lost the most important son-in-law, although the remaining concubines are not as good as the sons-in-law, but they are no longer willing 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 at most and never be ruthless again.
Rui Kangdi also knew that he was getting older and couldn't be ruthless, but he also knew in his heart that he owed Queen Hu.
Now Queen Hu finally met a lovely person, who is really loved by the younger generation, and that person is also an intellectual, but she happened to meet today's things again.
Empress Hu saw that Emperor Rui Kang was just frowning and silent, so she guessed that he was reluctant to make an old mistake again, but she also knew in her heart that she could be ruthless to the person who did it, but she couldn't really let Emperor Rui Kang punish him because of today's incident.
Otherwise, as long as he thinks of today's events in the future and feels that his son is pitiful, then Dong Shu will become a person he rejects.
After thinking about it for a while, Empress Hu looked directly at Rui Kangdi and said: "Before Shu'er left today, she promised the palace to visit the palace, but now that something like this has happened, I am afraid that I will never dare to leave home again." After saying this, seeing that Emperor Ruikang seemed to be thinking about to speak, he hurriedly continued: "If General Xu is still here, and his daughter-in-law is bullied like this, he will definitely send one hundred and eighty guards to protect him, and he is the most protective of his family." ”
When Emperor Ruikang heard Empress Hu mention the old man, his eyes were a little more missing, he thought about it, and said casually: "Then I will arrange some personal guards for Shu'er?" ”
"Just for some guards?" Empress Hu saw that Emperor Rui Kang was thinking down her thoughts, and hurriedly opened her mouth to answer, "Holy Lord, this palace is now desolate under her knees, and she really likes Shu'er's temperament." I thought about accepting her as a righteous daughter and giving her the title of county lord. ”
As soon as Empress Hu's words were finished, Emperor Ruikang immediately shook his head and said: "Although Shu'er is good, she is not a royal daughter after all, and the county lord is not suitable." After saying this, Ruikang Emperor saw that Queen Hu's face was ugly, and finally said: "Why don't you make her a countryman." According to our royal rules, the great-granddaughter of the county king can be crowned the king of the township, and now giving her such a position can be regarded as valuing her. As for the fact that you want to accept her as a righteous daughter, it's better to wait. ”
Empress Hu originally wanted Emperor Ruikang to give Dong Shu a position today, if she was to be crowned the county lord, it would naturally be good, and she would not dislike the low grade if there was only one township monarch.
Only with the title and position can she be spoiled openly and openly in the future, and arrange for someone to give her.
"That being the case, the saint wants to give Shu'er a better title, after all, it is the Xu family."
Empress Hu knew that Emperor Ruikang's regret and guilt for Xu Zhenbei's early death was not good at subsidizing the Xu family now, and naturally wanted some benefits for the Xu family in the name of serving herself.
As soon as Emperor Ruikang heard Empress Hu's words, his original intention of just wanting to arrange it at will was also dispelled, and he couldn't help but pay more attention to the matter of giving Dong Shu the title.
"Well, I'll think about it carefully when I go back later, and you will arrange for someone to send a message to Xujia Zhuangzi early tomorrow morning. Naturally, the decree is to wait for them to return to Beijing and receive the decree in the capital house. ”
Rui Kangdi thought about sending a message to Master Xuanling, and it was best to ask Master Xuanling if it was okay to arrange this matter like this.
Empress Hu saw that Rui Kangdi had already arranged it, so she didn't say anything, but just clearly told Rui Kangdi that since this was the case, she would have to arrange more rewards for Dong Shu.
Emperor Ruikang is now looking forward to Empress Hu forgetting about Dong Shu's interception and killing, and when she heard the queen mention this, she naturally agreed, and told the queen to give Dong Shu more rewards.
If the queen got Ruikangdi, she thought about going to Ruikangdi's private treasury to choose a few things for Dong Shu.
After Rui Kangdi left, Empress Hu summoned Mama Hu and arranged for eight secret guards of the Yuezi generation to go to Dong Shu's side to protect her.
Mama Hu was still a little stunned when she heard the queen's arrangement, and when she saw the serious look on Queen Hu's face, she knew that her master had made up his mind to take good care of her.
"Yes, the servant will arrange it."
Mama Hu didn't mention the matter of arranging secret guards, Zhuangzi originally wanted to invite Yan Ye to the family banquet, but was refused, but only asked Xu Shiqiu for a few jars of good wine, saying that he still loved to drink alone.
Xu Shiqiu didn't expect Yan Ye to reply like this, and after sending someone to fetch good wine for Yan Ye, he sat alone and thought about it for a long time.
Although Yan Ye can't see through this person, he really hasn't felt malice from him so far.
Today he saved the little lady again, and this kindness cannot be erased.
It's just that because I was so defensive before, it's not easy to get close now, and I think it will take a lot more effort.
Dong Shu didn't know the distress of her father-in-law, she didn't return home for many days, and today she encountered an interception, and when she returned to Shihuanyuan after eating a family banquet in the evening, she was drowsy after taking a bath, and Yuan Xi, who was holding her, didn't wait for Xu Shiqiu to go to bed early.
By the time I woke up on the second day, it was almost noon, Yuan Xi had already been taken away, and the courtyard was quiet, and no movement was heard at all.
When she woke up, Ling Xiang took Hexiang and Lixiang into the house to wait, and before she could ask about the family, Mama Yan had already walked in quickly and waved her hand to let the three of them retreat.
"Mama Yan, but what happened?"
Dong Shu's long hair was only half combed, and Mama Yan took a few steps forward directly, continuing to comb Dong Shu's hair, and said with a nervous look but with a little joy: "Madam, the eight secret guards arranged by the queen mother to protect you." ”
Dong Shu didn't know why Mama Yan was so happy, but she had only heard Xu Shiqiu mention the matter of 'secret guards' once, saying that she would start arranging some secret guards in two years to protect Yuan Xi in the future.
Today, when I heard Mama Yan mention the secret guard, I immediately thought of Xu Shiqiu's previous words, thinking about the queen's thoughts about herself, and said with red eyes: "Niangniang is hurting when I am my daughter." ”
Seeing that Dong Shu understood the queen's thoughts, the smile on Yan Mama couldn't help but deepen a little, "When I was serving in Fengyi Palace, I heard Mama Su mention by chance that there were secret guards by Niangniang's side. Speaking of this, Mama Yan put away the smile on her face, sighed and continued: "It's just that at the beginning, this secret guard was originally trained to keep the prince, but when the prince had an accident, the secret guards had just begun to arrange. After so many years, I originally thought that the secret guard was no longer there, but I didn't expect that today's Niangniang would reward the secret guard of the eight months to Mrs. ”
As soon as Mama Yan mentioned 'prince', Dong Shu knew what was going on.
In the past, not only Xu Shiqiu, but also Mrs. Xu and Xu Nuanwen also told her a lot, and the matter of the prince was a taboo for the queen.
But I didn't expect that today I got the afterglow of the former prince.
While speaking, Mama Yan had already coiled Dong Shu's long hair, and then inserted a hairpin ring for Dong Shu, and then walked out of the door.
Mama Yan first sent Hexiang and Lixiang out of the courtyard to arrange lunch, and then asked Ling Xiang to stare at the courtyard gate, and finally didn't know what to gesture at random in the air.
Almost at the moment when Mama Yan's gesture fell, eight young girls dressed in cyan clothes, similar to short brown clothes, 'flew' out of nowhere in the courtyard.
Dong Shu didn't expect that the secret guard arranged by the queen mother for herself was still a woman, but thinking of her identity, it was indeed more convenient for her heart to be a woman.
Mama Yan saw the joy on Dong Shu's face, so she hurriedly introduced: "They are Yuezhi, Yuebei, Yueping, Yueyin, Yueqian, Yuerong, Yueruo, and Yuexuan of the Yuezi generation. The eight of them have grown up together since childhood, and now they are all arranged by the mother to protect the safety of their wife. ”
Most of the secret guards are hidden in the shadows, and now the eight of them rarely show up, and they are considered to have left the old master, so it is a little unnatural to look at.
It was the first time for Dong Shu to see so many secret guards, and she had doubts but didn't want to ask too much, so she immediately spoke: "Yuezhi and Yuebei will go to protect Yuan Xi, and the remaining six people will be together in the future, and they will change every three hours." If I'm going out, take a few more people out. After saying this, Dong Shu thought for a while and continued with a slight flush on her cheeks: "If my father-in-law is by my side in the future, you will stay away." ”
As soon as Dong Shu's words fell, the eight Yuezi secret guards immediately saluted 'No'.
"Mama Yan, in the future, the affairs of the eight of them will be arranged by you, if you need anything, go directly to the treasury to get it." Dong Shu didn't understand the secret guards, so she didn't dare to take care of them, so she only handed them over to Mama Yan.
Mama Yan saw that Dong Shu trusted herself so much, and she directly responded to this matter at the moment.
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 she would tell her father-in-law at night.
The most important thing is that if they all follow her closely in the future, how about she have to talk to her mother-in-law and aunt about some private things.
Because of this, Dong Shu suppressed a little surprise, and only thought about this matter in her mind, and didn't know what to do.
Seeing Dong Shu's changeable expression, Mama Yan thought about it, and after all the secret guards 'disappeared' again, she still informed her of the queen's words.
"This, how can this be made." When Dong Shu heard that he wanted to have the title of Xiangjun, he was panicked at the moment.
This 'princess, county lord, county lord, township monarch' and other grades, Mama Yan had already told her.
Yan Mama also said before that these are titles that can only be owned by royal women, although there were also women who were awarded in the previous dynasty, but only royal women have this honor in this dynasty.
According to the current grade of her father-in-law, she has the eyes of the queen again, and she is at most a five-grade pleasant.
But who would have thought that he could be named a countryman.
Thinking about this matter in his heart, he put aside the matter of the secret guard for the time being, and didn't care about eating, and walked directly to the main courtyard of Old Lady Xu.
Mrs. Xu looked at Dong Shu coming in a hurry, thinking that something had happened again, but who knew that it was such a thing.
"Mother, how is this good?"
Dong Shu was really scared, although she was happy, she was really scared.
She understands her identity, although her mother-in-law's family once had a general of the town, but now her father-in-law is only a medium-sized general.
What's more, his mother's family is even more inconspicuous, and now if he is really crowned a countryman, what will he do in the future?
Mrs. Xu was not as flustered as Dong Shu, seeing tears in her nervous eyes, she hurriedly took her hand and comforted: "Don't worry too much, the queen mother is always sincere to you." I think she treats you like a daughter, if you really have this luck, you will treat the queen as a mother and filial piety in the future. ”
Mrs. Xu was so comforted, but Dong Shu was relieved.
It's just that she is still worried about this matter in her heart, and she doesn't have the smile on her face as before.
"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 seemed to murmur again: "I am filial to my mother, but not for this." ”
When Mrs. Xu heard Dong Shu's words, she raised her hand and nodded at her head and said, "Such a fortunate thing, if it were someone else, it would be too late to be happy, and you would be scared like this." After saying this, Mrs. Xu smiled and continued: "Don't think about it, Niangniang has her own intentions in arranging it like this. Since Niangniang has sent someone to send a message, she will arrange it today, pack up her things and move back to Beijing in two days. In this way, you may also receive the holy decree and enter the palace to give thanks. ”
When Dong Shu heard Mrs. Xu's words, she nodded in response.
It's just that she is still thinking about this in her heart, thinking that it would be good to wait for Xianggong to come back in the evening and ask him carefully.
