Jiang Xue passed along the breakfast meal, and just asked where Gu Lintan was, and then started to eat by himself.

Before the time came, she sent someone to tell Gu Lintan to go to the palace with her to express gratitude.

Gu Lintan arrived late and saw Jiang Xue standing at the door. She was wearing a fiery red dress that made her skin look like snow. Her face was even pale, and she still pretended to be concerned.

"Is Your Highness feeling better today?"

"I'm feeling better. I heard that you called Dr. Yan to inquire. I think I understand a little bit. It's just that I've been very upset lately. I think it will be fine after taking a few pills."

Her attitude was even colder today. Gu Lintan was stunned and nodded in agreement, and the two of them got into the carriage together.

The Gu Mansion was a gift from the emperor, so that his daughter could be closer to home. It was only two streets away from the palace gate. Not long after, the two of them arrived at the door of Xuanhua. The boy brought the pedals and opened the car door.

Jiang Xue was silent all the way, sitting upright and quietly in the middle of the carriage, showing the majesty of the Heavenly Family that could only be seen from a distance.

Gu Lintan thought about breaking the silence. As soon as the carriage stopped, he bent down and walked to the door and said, "I will help His Highness get out of the car. Your Highness, please be careful where you step."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.

Jiang Xue nodded, raised her hand, but only lightly landed on his wrist.

Gu Lintan couldn't bear it. The two got out of the car and saw Huangmen waiting in front of the palace gate.

"This servant has met Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Prince Consort. Your Highness is overjoyed! The Prince Consort is overjoyed!"

Xiaohuangmen immediately prostrated at Jiang Xue's feet and said respectfully: "Her Royal Highness the Princess's carriage is already waiting inside Xuanhuamen. The emperor has ordered that the consort should go to the Chaozheng Hall first to express his gratitude."

Jiang Xue said: "Do you need me to go with you?"

"The Queen misses the princess, and Your Majesty spared the princess to express her gratitude. You can get into the sedan chair first and go to Yi'an Palace to talk and rest with the Queen. Your Majesty will go to Yi'an Palace with Her Majesty the Queen for lunch."

After that, he led Jiang Xue onto the sedan chair.

Gu Lintan also led other palace officials to the palace.

At the gate of Yi'an Palace, Jiang Xue got off the sedan chair. Aunt Dong, who was beside the queen, had been waiting for a long time. She was overjoyed to see Jiang Xue and immediately stepped forward to salute.

Jiang Xue hurriedly helped her up, her eyes and brows filled with joy.

"Auntie, there's no need to be polite, please get up quickly."

"Your Highness has only been away from the palace for a day, and I already miss you so much." There were tears in the corners of Aunt Dong's eyes, which made Jiang Xue feel sad.

"I miss you dearly, so I came back early."

Jiang Xue raised her hands to wipe her tears, "You know it's not easy for your parents when you get married and leave home. Auntie, don't be sad. The Gu Mansion is close to the palace. I will go back to the palace to accompany my mother more often in the future."

When Aunt Dong saw her, she didn't look as shy and happy as a newlywed. Instead, she seemed to have experienced a lot of vicissitudes of life overnight, and she was immediately unhappy with Gu Lintan.

"Your Highness, don't cry. Let's go in first. Your Majesty and I are both here. Your Highness will come back to the palace when you feel homesick. Even if you return to the palace every day, Your Majesty and your Majesty will be happy."

The two helped each other into the palace gate.

In the main hall of Yi'an Palace, the woman sitting on the phoenix throne has Yuanshan Dai and red phoenix eyes. Except for a closer look, there is a slight trace of age in the corners of her eyes, and her appearance is no different from that of a young lady in her early thirties.

Wearing a large phoenix robe, she still did not hide her graceful figure.

This is Jiang Xue's mother, the current queen Lu Congfang.

As soon as Jiang Xue entered the palace door, Lu Congfang's expression suddenly turned from joyful. Jiang Xue bowed down and bowed according to the rules. After three bows, he said:

"My son, I have got married. I will return to the palace today to thank my father, the Queen, and my Queen. Please accept it with my respect."

"My son, get up quickly." Lu Congfangxu gave him a hand and said, "Come to the queen mother quickly."

Jiang Xue stood up and walked to the queen's side. Aunt Dong ordered someone to bring a round stool, and Jiang Xue sat on the queen's knees.

Lu Congfang held her daughter's hand and felt it was cold. She shook it again and again and said with concern:

"Is everything okay in Gu's house? How is your consort treating you?"

Jiang Xue had tears in her eyes, biting her lower lip slightly, and then put on a smile again.

"Everything is fine. With the majesty of the Tian family supporting my daughter, no one will disrespect me."

Lu Congfang felt something was wrong when she heard this, and had no choice but to suppress her doubts at this time. road:

"Are the servants in the house easy to use?"

"Speaking of servants, my daughter is about to request an order. The Gu Mansion is newly established, and the servants will inevitably need to be trained for a while. My daughter is really unable to do so, so she wants to pick a few of the maids and maids she used to use in Changle Palace and take them with her. Go to Gu Mansion."

She is really short of manpower right now, and she is unable to do anything she wants to do.

Although most of the servants of the Gu family were bought recently except for a few brought by Gu Lintan from his hometown, they were not confidants after all, so she did not dare to use them easily.

"When you got married before, I said that you didn't bring your usual attendants with you, so I said it was inappropriate. You were too knowledgeable and cared about the face of the prince-in-law. But after all, you were raised in a pampered manner. Without the people in the palace, your daily life will be much more complicated. There is an inconvenience.”

"What do you mean, please don't ask for an order. You can choose some of your own and follow them. I will ask Aunt Dong to choose a dozen flexible and agile maids, and you will take them with you when you leave the palace later."

"Mother, you don't need so many." Jiang Xue couldn't laugh or cry, "I don't need many maids. There is only one thing left, and I must ask my mother to show it."

"That's what you say."

"There are not many servants in the Gu family, and I think the few who look after the house and the courtyard are really incompetent. In the future, my son will only be protected by these people when he walks inside and outside the palace, and I will feel uneasy."

Jiang Xue rolled her eyes slightly, "I would like some more skilled guards in the palace. Can I ask my mother to appoint them?"

"Although the palace guards all have official duties, according to the regulations, they can only be used by the palace. But you are the only daughter between me and your father."

Lu Congfang patted Jiang Xue's hand and said comfortingly:

"If you want it, Queen Mother will assign it to you. Shu Pei, go and report to His Majesty and tell him to choose ten good ones from among the Wu'an commanders and give them to Xue'er."

Wu'an commanders were selected from the city defense Wu'an army directly under the emperor after many tests, and were only responsible for patrolling and guarding the emperor's and queen's palaces.

The queen's love for Jiang Xue is evident.

However, Jiang Xue hurriedly stopped Dong Shupei.

"Auntie, wait a minute."

She said to the queen: "Mother, I don't want to be too public. If the emperor father orders the dispatch, everyone knows that the guards of the Gu Mansion are not strong enough, and they are afraid that they will be disrespectful to Gu and the consort."

"My son, I think that the queen mother can explain it to the father in private. When we leave the palace, we can dress up as ordinary servants and follow me back to the house."

"There is no need for ten people, just four or five capable people."

Now I don't know how much Gu Lintan has hidden, so I can only start with the mother and son and secretly investigate.

The less noise the investigation makes about this matter, the better. If it is done in a big way, I'm afraid Gu Lintan will become suspicious.

The queen thought for a while and said: "It's okay, you are always so sensible. Shu Pei, just do what Xueer wants. Choose a few good ones from Yi'an Palace and give them to her."

Aunt Dong said yes.

The mother and daughter held hands and talked for a long time. They saw the sun was high in the sky and someone from the palace came to report.

"Your Majesty, Princess, Your Majesty will arrive at Yi'an Palace soon. Please prepare a meal for your Majesty."

The queen nodded and ordered Dong Shupei to prepare the meal.

The palace servant added: "Your Majesty asked your servant to inform the queen that today the Second Highness will come with your Majesty to accompany the princess to have a meal. I also asked my aunt to prepare an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks."

"The Second Emperor Brother is back?" Jiang Xue stood up suddenly, almost tripping over the hem of her skirt, but she still couldn't hide her joyful expression.
