At the beginning, I beat Lazy, and the host is cruel.

"You can talk about the royal family casually. How many heads do you have? The emperor is the emperor, and all the people in the world are the emperor's people. He wants whoever he wants."

The old lady also felt unhappy.

Although she despises this daughter-in-law, looking at the manner in which Concubine De came to visit, she might become a concubine in one fell swoop. In the future, she will be heartbroken when she sees her daughter-in-law kneeling down to worship her.

Xia Houjie curled his lips, "They say beauty brings disaster. I think it was the eldest sister-in-law who hooked up with the emperor, so the emperor couldn't wait to kill the eldest brother so that his sister-in-law could enter the palace."

The old lady was so angry that she almost spit out a mouthful of blood after listening to her youngest son's unreasonable words.

As long as you know this in your heart, it's too slow to say it out loud.

"Shut up and watch your head. She is not your sister-in-law from now on, so don't scream."

The old lady stared at Xia Houjie very sternly.

When she raised her head just now, she glanced at the tiara and saw that it was not much worse than the tiara of her second-grade imperial wife. Maybe her daughter-in-law could be granted the title of concubine.

Now that the Duke of Guo is gone, he has to put his tail between his legs and be a good man.

The eldest son had offended many people in the past, so she wanted everyone in the house to be cautious in their words and deeds to prevent their enemies from taking advantage of him.

Xia Houjie rolled his eyes, feeling very disdainful.

Mother is so timid. He even scolded the royal family in the teahouse before, but that's okay.

The emperor is just a hollow figure. Without his eldest brother, the court would definitely be in chaos.

The regent is not taking care of things now. It seems that it is time for him to take the lead. He can only take on the position of the eldest brother.

Thinking of this, Xia Houjie straightened his back again.

He wanted to wait for the emperor to issue an edict to make him the Duke of the country, and then go to the court to share the burden for the emperor.

The eldest brother has not given birth to a son and a half daughters in so many years, so the Duke's mansion can only be his.

Xia Houjie was just thinking about the beauty, when suddenly the high-pitched shout of Eunuch An came from the house, which immediately interrupted his sweet dream.

"Zhang Wanhong accepted the order."

The old lady was stunned and didn't realize who Zhang Wanhong was for a moment.

Xia Houjie was also confused, "Mom, is there this person in the house?"

When the old lady saw the Duke's wife, dressed in rich clothes, being supported by a palace maid and kneeling in the courtyard, she suddenly realized that Zhang Wanhong was the eldest daughter-in-law.

Over the years, she has been calling her eldest daughter-in-law "bitch, bitch" and has long forgotten her name.

Xia Houjie looked straight at his sister-in-law who was dressed up carefully.

No wonder the emperor fell in love with his sister-in-law.

My sister-in-law, who usually looks dull, looks really good after dressing up.

Hula~~~

The ladies who were sitting and waiting in the room all came out and knelt behind Zhang Wanhong, welcoming the imperial edict together.

"The emperor is destined to be blessed by heaven, and the edict says that he is intelligent and agile, dignified and prudent, respectful and considerate, has served in the palace for a long time, has a smart temperament, and is courteous and courteous. Immediately after that, he canonized him as the first-class Protector of the Country Lady. I appreciate this!"

After Zhang Wanhong heard the imperial edict, she was stunned.

This is simply unheard of for a first-class protector of the country.

The old lady and Xia Houjie raised their heads in confusion, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

What does this title of Lady Protector of the Country mean?

The old lady's brain almost exploded. The first-grade imperial edict was not a level higher than her second-grade imperial edict.

Also, when will Gaoming be able to achieve the first rank?

The ladies kneeling behind Zhang Wanhong all opened their mouths in shock.

Some had expressions of disbelief on their faces, some had eyes full of jealousy, and some looked at Zhang Wanhong with joy and were happy for her.

"Mrs. Protector of the Country, what are you still doing in a daze? You have to accept the order."

Eunuch An urged with a smile.

"My wife accepted the order and thanked the Lord for his kindness."

Zhang Wanhong quickly knelt down and stretched out her hands to receive the imperial edict.

After seeing the ceremony, the two little palace maids next to her immediately stepped forward with a smile to help the Protector Lady.

This gorgeous outfit and the crown weighed thirty or forty pounds, and it was not easy to stand up without support.

Zhang Wanhong's personal maid Cuiguo quickly smiled and stuffed a bag of silver to Eunuch An.

When she saw the lady being brought in by the palace maids to dress up, she went back to get a bag of silver.

She originally thought that if Madam was taken to the palace, she would give the money to Madam so that she could take care of things when she got to the palace.

Unexpectedly, the madam was actually granted the title of first-class Protector of the Country, and she was still a first-class lady. The old lady would never want to bully her wife in the future.

"Congratulations~~~"

The ladies all gathered around Zhang Wanhong to congratulate her.

Zhang Wanhong dealt with it with a dry smile and walked towards the main hall.

Only then did the ladies remember that Concubine De was still waiting in the main hall.

Everyone followed Zhang Wanhong towards the main hall with a roar.
