Dong Shu had come with Old Madame Xu in a carriage, because Old Madame Xu had an order for a title, her Xu Family also had a carriage that matched her status as a Old Madame Xu.

However, when their carriage reached the palace gates, they encountered another carriage.

The two carriages could have gone head to head, but for some reason, the other carriage wanted to be in front of them.

After realising this, Old Madame Xu did not get angry, but instructed: "Make way, make way, there's no need to fight over this."

When Old Madame Xu said this, the carriage driver immediately slowed down and gave way to another carriage.

Only, the other Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu did not expect to see the person inside the carriage while they were waiting for the other carriage to leave.

That person seemed to be waiting for them. Seeing them appear, he directly sized them up from head to toe without any etiquette, and then revealed an expression that belittled them.

Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu did not recognize him, so they did not have the intention to speak and prepared to leave.

However, just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard a voice sound out from beside them.

"Where did this country bumpkin come from? How unlucky!"

Zhang Yi Ran squinted her eyes and said. Seeing that neither Old Madame Xu nor Dong Shu had the intention to stop, she rolled her eyes and directly said to Dong Shu: "Hey, I'm talking about you, stop right there." Saying that, Zhang Yiran immediately walked two steps forward, raising her hand to stop Dong Shu.

Dong Shu raised her eyes and looked at the young lady in front of him.

Dong Shu did not expect to be troubled the moment she entered the palace. She pursed her lips and raised her head to look at her mother-in-law.

Seeing that her mother-in-law had no intention to speak, she slightly pursed her lips and used a smile that said "I can't find the wrong person to do". However, it was obvious from the smile on her face that she was looking at the young woman in front of her.

"Miss, I am Third Madame of Xu Family." After saying that, Dong Shu's expression did not change, he continued looking at the young lady with the same calm expression: "I wonder why Miss is obstructing us here?"

Dong Shu's voice had always been soft and gentle, neither too hurried nor too slow.

Seeing her like this, Zhang Yiran, who was standing in front of her, was extremely angry.

Since Jiang Yiran had been with Consort De for so long, she naturally understood why her mistress was making things difficult for Dong Shu. She took half a step forward, and when Zhang Yiran noticed her, she softly said: "Miss Yiran, Empress is still waiting to see Old Madame Xu and Third Madame Xu."

The moment Jiang Mama finished speaking, Zhang Yiran's face instantly changed.

Although she was using her aunt's, Consort De's, face to stop someone with Xu Family at the palace gate, it did not mean that she dared to disturb the empress's meeting.

However, although she had already compromised her decision, she still arrogantly raised her head and looked at Dong Shu with a cold snort.

As for the Old Madame Xu standing in front, she didn't dare to offend him.

Even if she didn't like Xu Family people, she understood that there was still a title on the body of the Old Madame Xu, and it wasn't something she could make things difficult for.

Before leaving, Zhang Yiran raised her hand to support the hairpin on her head. After allowing Dong Shu to see her hair ornament, she snorted coldly: "She really can't show her face on stage."

Although the words seemed to have no beginning or end, everyone at the scene understood that Zhang Yiran's words were directed at Dong Shu.

Dong Shu also understood that Zhang Yiran's words were directed at him, but she did not refute them. Instead, like before, she looked at Zhang Yiran with a fake smile.

Zhang Yi Ran saw that Dong Shu was not annoyed by her, and felt that it was not appropriate for her to stay any longer, so she rolled her eyes and turned to leave.

Seeing Zhang Yiran turn around and leave, Jiang Mama wanted to say a few words to ease the atmosphere. But who knew that Zhang Yiran, who had not walked far, would suddenly lose her balance and fall to the ground.

Since she was not far from it, both Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu could clearly see how she fell.

Zhang Yiran also did not expect herself to fall. After being stunned for a moment, she suddenly remembered that the person from Xu Family was still behind her.

Her hidden hands tightly clenched into a fist. After sensing the gaze from behind her, she immediately turned around like a shrew, looking at Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu: "What are you looking at! "Look at the digging again …"

Before she could finish her words, the maid beside Zhang Yiran suddenly reached out and pulled her.

Because of the maid's action, Zhang Yiran did not say anything else.

Merely looking at the expressions in the eyes of Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu, no matter how one looked at it, it was as though they hated them to death.

Seeing Zhang Yiran like this, Jiang Mama was panicking, but he did not show it on the surface.

He only raised his eyes and looked like he was about to explain to Old Madame Xu.

"Let's go." Old Madame Xu saw that Mama Jiang wanted to speak, so she opened her mouth before Mama Jiang could do so.

Upon hearing her words, Dong Shu immediately took half a step forward, supported her arm, and softly said: "Mother, let me support you."

Dong Shu was worried that the Old Madame Xu would fall down too, but in Zhang Yiran's eyes, this was Dong Shu deliberately humiliating her.

She still wanted to say something, but Mama Jiang turned her head to look at her.

This glance made Zhang Yiran instantly recall the fear she felt whenever she met Mama Jiang in her aunt's palace, and saw her helping her aunt deal with those palace maids.

Although she was scared, Zhang Yiran could not control the hatred she had towards the people from the Xu Family.

Dong Shu and the Old Madame Xu did not care about Zhang Yiran, but on the way, Jiang Yiran hesitated and wanted to explain to her what Zhang Yiran had done, but the Old Madame Xu did not give her the chance.

Waiting for the empress's Phoenix Palace entrance, when Old Madame Xu saw Mama Su waiting at the door, she directly said to Mama Jiang, "Didn't Mama Jiang want to go and pay respects to the empress? Do you want to go now or do you want to wait? "

Because of what happened at the entrance of Mama Jiang's palace, her heart was extremely anxious.

However, when she looked up at Old Madame Xu, she knew that she was not in a good mood. Whether she left or not, this matter could not be resolved in an instant.

Mama Su had already known about what happened at the entrance of the palace. When she heard Old Madame Xu's words, she immediately looked at him with a smile and said, "Mama Jiang, please go ahead and do what you need to do first. In this Phoenix Palace, could it be that something will happen? "

Even though Mama Su was asking a question, Mama Jiang could still hear another meaning behind her words.

The empress knew about what had happened at the palace gates!

Thinking about it, Mama Jiang's heart turned cold.

Although the Queen has no children now, her Madame Hu still has some influence in the court.

Mistress wants to build good relations with the empress and give the Fifth Prince the position, she knows this as well.

But now, the lady of Zhang Family had humiliated the person of Xu Family that the empress had placed her sights on, right at the entrance of the palace.

Mama Jiang was anxious, but when facing the Mama Su, he did not expose herself.

She first smiled and said to Mama Su: "Elder sister, younger sister will pay respects to old master first. After all, in the future, little sister should not be able to enter the palace." After saying this, Mama Jiang purposely paused for a moment before continuing, "Later on, little sister will come back to receive Old Madame Xu and Third Madame Xu. Fifth Prince's Consort specifically told little sister yesterday that she must accompany Old Madame Xu and Third Madame Xu home."

Mama's words had two meanings. Consort De was already the old master, and her master was the Fifth Prince's Concubine. The second meaning was that she would be accompanying at her side. It was the intention of the Fifth Prince's Concubine.

Mama Su naturally understood what Mama Jiang meant, she did not utter a word, and only smiled and nodded towards her.

Seeing Mama Su nod her head, Mama Jiang heaved a sigh of relief, looked at Old Madame Xu and said: "Old Madame, your servant will go pay respects to the Consort De Empress."

Old Madame Xu did not speak after hearing what Mama Jiang said, she only nodded at her.

Although Mama Jiang was worried, she still left in the end.

She had to quickly tell the Consort De Empress about what had happened at the entrance of the palace. From the looks of it, Zhang Family had to send someone to go and apologize.

After Mama Jiang left, Mama Su put on a sincere smile and respectfully invited Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu in.

"Thank you, Mama Su."

As soon as Old Madame Xu finished speaking, Dong Shu immediately went forward and handed over a money bag with simple luck inscriptions, "I embroidered it myself, Mama Su will take it and play with it."

There was a silver note in his pocket. It was fifty taels. It wasn't a large note, but it had a different meaning.

The most important thing was that Dong Shu had personally embroidered it. Mama Su also knew the rumors regarding Dong Shu, so after receiving the bets, not only did she not mind it, she actually liked it a lot.

Seeing that Mama Su accepted the purse, Old Madame Xu casually brought up the empress's body.

The Mama Su accepted the gift, and since she truly liked Dong Shu's personality, she immediately reminded him, "The Empress is much better today than she was a few days ago. But you also know that the Empress has a heart attack, and does not have any heart medicine, so her body is still not as straightforward as before. "

Hearing Mama Su's words, Old Madame Xu understood the empress's situation.

She did not continue speaking and only led Dong Shu straight into the Sacred Palace.

Dong Shu thought about the explanation given by the Aunt Sister yesterday and didn't look around along the way. Only when she walked into the hall and felt a gaze that made her nervous did she quietly raise her head to size her up.

In truth, Dong Shu didn't notice anything from this glance. After she bowed to Old Madame Xu and was roused, she was about to extend her hand to support the Old Madame Xu when she heard a voice from above.

"Your little daughter-in-law seems to be blessed."

The empress's voice was very soft, but if one listened carefully, it sounded as though her voice was rather weak.

Thinking about the rumors about her being weak, Dong Shu summoned up her courage and glanced at her once more.

Just as Dong Shu secretly raised her head to size up the empress, the Old Madame Xu already looked at the empress, "Thank you, empress, for your praise. This child looks good. This old one has taken a fancy to him from the very beginning. "

Dong Shu's face was not the face of the rich girls. Her face was round, and after marrying Xu Shiqiu, she lived well.

A young girl like her might think that she was fat, but in the eyes of her elders, she was extremely blessed.

The empress had been ill for many years, and had taken many more medicine than she had ever taken before.

Therefore, when he saw the white and fat Dong Shu, he felt that she was fortunate.

It was just that she did not expect the Old Madame Xu to directly admit to this matter.

Thinking of the rumors she heard from the emperor, the empress looked at Dong Shu and said, "Good child, come closer and let me have a look."

Dong Shu was startled when she heard the Queen's words, and thought that she couldn't see through his mother-in-law. Seeing that she didn't object, she then walked a few steps towards the Queen.

The Queen sat at the head and saw Dong Shu's actions clearly.

It was unknown why, but the more the empress looked at Dong Shu, the happier she felt. Even though Dong Shu had done something small just now, she also felt him to be cute.

Dong Shu was still young, and when the Empress looked at her, she couldn't help but think to herself, if her son was fine back then, would the Crown Princess have given birth to another little granddaughter like him?

Thinking about it this way, the empress was shocked to discover that Dong Shu did indeed look like her son and daughter-in-law.

Her facial features resembled her own son, while her mouth and nose resembled her own daughter-in-law.

After realising this, the Queen looked at Dong Shu with an even friendlier gaze.

Dong Shu did not notice the empress's ill intentions. She could even feel the empress's gaze on him becoming gentler and gentler.

With just that one glance, Dong Shu was stunned.

Dong Shu never thought that the Queen would be so thin. Not only was her face withered, there was even a hint of green on it.

Even if Dong Shu didn't know medicine, she knew that the Empress's current expression wasn't good.

Seeing Dong Shu staring at the Queen in shock, Old Madame Xu wanted to remind him, but at this time, the Queen suddenly spoke: "Good child, step forward."
