The master and servant chatted animatedly for a while, and Jiang Xue's gloomy look disappeared a lot.

The carriage will stop.

Xiaochun felt the carriage stop, and then reached out to gently push up the window. When he saw that he was outside the palace gate, he immediately stood up and walked out of the carriage.

There were palace servants waiting under Xuanhua's sect. Xiaochun raised his eyes and saw that the person standing in front of him was Dong Shupei.

Xiaochun hurriedly got out of the car, walked to her, blessed her body, and said respectfully: "Hello, aunt."

Dong Shupei stretched out her hand to help her, and nodded to her with a smile.

In the carriage, Fu Dong was helping Jiang Xue out of the carriage door. They were both surprised when they saw Dong Shupei.

Fu Dong hurriedly got out of the car first, praised Dong Shu from afar, and then tried to help Jiang Xue get out of the car.

Dong Shupei stepped forward and extended his arms to Jiang Xue, while Fu Dong stepped aside slightly.

Jiang Xue took Dong Shupei's hand and got out of the car, and asked in surprise: "Why bother Aunt Dong to come here to wait for me?"

Dong Shupei said: "After receiving the invitation, I ordered my servants to come and pick me up. At this moment, the empress is waiting in the palace."

She looked at Jiang Xue lovingly and said, "Your Highness must stay in the palace for dinner today. Your Majesty has ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes."

Jiang Xue nodded and followed Dong Shupei into Xuanhua Gate.

Inside the palace gate was a walking stick that had been prepared. Jiang Xue sat on the walking stick and the group walked to Yi'an Palace.

When he was approaching the gate of Yi'an Palace, Dong Shupei suddenly said: "Your Highness, the records of the guards who left the palace yesterday have not been completed yet. I will take Xiaochun to the Secretary's Bureau to deal with it. Dinner dinner I brought them back together with me before."

Jiang Xue hesitated and said: "...Okay."

Dong Shupei turned around and took Xiaochun away from the team.

Xiaochun turned slightly to look at her. When Jiang Xue saw that no one was watching, she quickly raised her hand to make a silent gesture.

Xiaochun understood, nodded invisibly, and caught up with Dong Shupei.

Jiang Xue sat on the chariot and sighed helplessly.

After all, I asked my mother to see the problem.

Fortunately, it was Xiaochun who was called.

She told Xiaochun and Fudong everything about the Gu family. With Xiaochun's understanding of her and Xiaochun's caution and intelligence, she could probably keep it a little secret.

She turned to look at Fu Dong and saw Fu Dong frowning. She asked with confusion, "What kind of list? Didn't Xianglu bring a list yesterday?"

Jiang Xue smiled but did not respond.

Soon they entered Yi'an Palace, Jiang Xue walked faster, and Fu Dong followed her closely. She looked back at the palace attendants who were some distance behind her, and whispered to Fu Dong: "Everything in the Gu Mansion must be done in front of the Queen Mother." Don’t mention it, if you ask, just say it’s fine.”

Although Fu Dong is usually not as smart as Xiaochun, he still understands everything and nods his head alertly.

In the main seat of Yi'an Palace, Lu Congfang was sitting drinking tea.

Jiang Xue walked into the hall and Shi Shiran bowed down and saluted.

"Xue'er, please wish my mother well. May my mother be blessed."

Jiang Xue was wearing a pear-white narrow-sleeved waist-length undershirt today. Her waist was circled with an indigo silk belt, and tied with a turquoise agate banjo. The belt sank straight down, making her even thinner and thinner.

Lu Congfang had so many thoughts in her mind. Seeing her daughter's helpless appearance, she hurriedly said: "Get up quickly, what kind of etiquette is there for the Queen Mother?"

Jiang Xue stood up, looked up and saw Lu Congfang's helpless expression, and asked, "What's wrong with the queen mother?"

"Come here and sit next to your mother," Lu Congfang said.

The maid in Yi'an Palace immediately moved a low stool and placed it next to the main seat. Jiang Xue sat down and took Lu Congfang's hand.

"Tell your mother about it." Lu Congfang held her daughter's hand tightly.

Jiang Xue seemed puzzled and asked: "What?"

Lu Congfang glared at her and said, "What else can there be? Of course it's between you and the consort."

"My son and my consort are very good," Jiang Xue said obediently, her big eyes flashing, "What can I do for you?"

"If nothing happened, what happened to the guards in Changle Palace yesterday?"

"That's what the Queen Mother said," Jiang Xue said with a smile, "The first guards in the Prince Consort's Mansion were really useless, so I thought, after all, the guards in Changle Palace had been with me for a while, so they were not as good as they were. It’s so convenient, just call it and you don’t have to worry about choosing.”

"On the first day you returned to the palace, I asked you to bring more people. At that time, you still refused to take the consort out of consideration for his face. Why are you doing this for convenience now?"

Mrs. Lu knew that her daughter usually reported good news but not bad news, but this approach really made her suspicious.

Jiang Xue sighed helplessly and said, "I won't hide anything from my mother."

"Yesterday, the consort's warehouse was robbed, and even the congratulatory gifts from my grandfather's family were gone."

"What?" Queen Lu was shocked, "Under the emperor's feet, someone dares to commit theft in the Prince Consort's Mansion?"

"No, the consort is also very anxious and angry about this," Jiang Xue said, "My son, this is also to relieve the consort's worries. If this matter spreads out, the Gu family is afraid of getting a bad reputation for not being strict in running the family. "

"Although you can enhance the security of Gu Mansion by dispatching palace guards - but your behavior is so high-profile, won't this matter spread faster?" Queen Lu expressed doubts.

"Uh..." Jiang Xue was a little embarrassed.

She thought about it all night and couldn't think of a better excuse that could hide it from her mother and also serve as a reason for her actions.

So she decided to just use Gu Lintan to create this scene.

Tell half, hide half.

"So I came here today to ask my mother to help my son and my consort conceal this matter." Jiang Xue said sincerely.

"The prince-in-law is a new official and has married a son-in-law. Many things are always done poorly in a hurry - but the son-in-law doesn't want him to be blamed for this." Jiang Xue had a look on her face.

"I asked my mother to take care of my son, so I found a reason to give the order. I just said that the matter of bodyguards is decided by the palace. I guess no one dares to say anything."

Gu Lintan is not stupid, he will not expose this matter and let others step on him.

As long as Jiang Xue didn't say anything about it, and the palace didn't say anything about it, no one would know that there was a thief in Gu's residence.

Lu Congfang looked at Jiang Xue, feeling a little helpless.

She knew that Jiang Xue definitely wasn't telling the truth.

From Jiang Xue's first return to the palace, both she and Dong Shupei could see that Jiang Xue and Gu Lintan were in love.

If a woman is so deeply in love with her husband, how can she show so little interest every time she mentions him?

This edict is not difficult to make. As a queen, she has been in charge of the palace for many years. Her virtues are both well-known to both the government and the public. It's just out of love that he made an exception for Jiang Xue and rewarded some palace guards, which is understandable.

It's just that she is really worried about Jiang Xue's marriage.

In just a few days, I saw my daughter twice and felt that something was on her mind.

I wanted to wait for her to come and ask for the order and let her tell the truth.

But Jiang Xue looked like she was unwilling to say anything.

Lu Congfang said: "That's all, if you say it's just like this, I'll just assume it is like this. When you leave the palace, let the eunuch who announced the decree take you with him."

Jiang Xue nodded and said, "Thank you, my dear mother, for your mercy."

"I only have you two children now. If I don't pity you, who will I pity?" Lu Congfang frowned and sighed deeply.

"Did you know that your imperial brother requested an order to stay in Beijing during his court meeting yesterday morning?"

"So fast?" Jiang Xue was surprised.

"What's fast?" Lu Congfang asked.

"So quickly...he changed his mind," Jiang Xue said. "My son had already advised him not to be too greedy for the scenery on the border. Serving his father, the emperor and his mother is the most important thing."

Lu Congfang nodded and said: "Your father and I have grown up together, and even if he doesn't want to, he will eventually come back. But I didn't expect that he would propose it himself."

"What did the father say?" Jiang Xue asked.

"Your father is naturally happy too," Lu Congfang smiled slightly and said:

"He has discussed with me and will issue an order in the next few days to make Yu'er the king of the town and take over the military and personnel departments."
