Because he understood this point, Empress Hu's mood instantly became better.

When Empress Hu became happy, the palace maids serving inside the Phoenix Palace smiled. Recently, the palace had been tense, they were really afraid that their master would be angered and destroy his body.

So now that he had seen Empress Hu's happiness, it was naturally a lot easier within his Phoenix Palace.

In this way, Dong Shu, who had made Empress Hu's mood improve with a single sentence, was naturally welcomed more and more by the Phoenix Palace.

The reason the Empress Hu allowed Dong Shu to enter the palace today, was to console her in the first place, and also to tell her how to deal with the following matters.

However, Empress Hu will still tell Dong Shu what needs to be said.

If someone from the Third Prince Palace comes to apologize to you, you will take this lying down. If no one is going, you don't have to worry, they were in the wrong, there will be someone to take care of them. " The Empress Hu saw that Dong Shu had already said those words once, and after seeing Dong Shu nod her head obediently, she then continued to speak: "I'm afraid that the capital will become a little chaotic after a period of time. If you have nothing to do, don't go out, and get your Xu Shiqiu's attention as well."

Xu Shiqiu had already mentioned the things Empress Hu had said to Dong Shu once, so she only nodded obediently. After hearing all that Xu Shiqiu had said later on, she naturally agreed.

"Yes, Shu'er understands." Dong Shu looked at the Empress Hu and replied. After thinking for a while, she mustered up her courage to ask, "Then is the Empress' palace safe?"

Empress Hu didn't think that Dong Shu would actually ask about her own safety. Looking at Dong Shu who was looking down at him with a face full of concern, Empress Hu felt that she really didn't love her for nothing.

After all, not everyone would dare to ask such a question.

"You don't have to worry about this. I've lived for so many years, what have I not seen? I know what happened this time, so you don't have to worry. " If the Empress Hu dared to say such words, she must have someone backing her up, but she could not casually tell these to others, not even to Dong Shu.

Because sometimes, it's better to know as much as possible.

Dong Shu also understood this logic. After all, not only Xu Shiqiu, even the Old Madame Xu had warned her repeatedly.

She was the one who dared to ask that question just now. Since Empress Hu had already said such words, she would definitely not be worried anymore.

Empress Hu kept looking at Dong Shu, so she noticed any change in her expression.

Seeing Dong Shu obediently responding to what she said, Empress Hu's mood improved, "Seeing you like this, I have the fun of raising my daughter." After Dong Shu walked over to her side, she then raised her hand and caressed the top of Dong Shu's hair as she continued, "Shu'er, you don't have to worry. Even if there's any danger, I will help you stop it. I have not protected Mu Er and her family for the rest of my life. Now that you have reached such a state, you must be protected thoroughly. "

Dong Shu never thought that the Empress Hu would actually say such a thing to her. Subconsciously, she felt that the Empress Hu's words had some meaning.

However, her beast-like intuition was warning her not to ask.

Due to her believing in her intuition, although she felt uncomfortable at this moment, she did not inquire about it in the end.

Furthermore, after hearing Empress Hu's words, Dong Shu suddenly thought of Yan Ye who had brought Xu Yanzhu out of the capital. If the Empress knew that her grandson was still alive, she would probably feel a little better.

But she couldn't say any of this.

Empress Hu could clearly see all of the changes in Dong Shu's expression, so naturally, she could also clearly see the struggle in her heart.

She didn't know what Dong Shu was thinking and only thought that she was hesitating about whether to continue asking.

Seeing that Dong Shu did not even ask about it, Empress Hu finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Originally, she didn't intend to tell these words to Dong Shu at this time. It was just that she didn't hold back just now and directly said them out loud.

Fortunately, she knew that Shu'er was intelligent. There were some things that she shouldn't have asked, so she wouldn't ask.

Although Dong Shu didn't know what the Empress Hu was thinking, she could feel the change in her mood.

Seeing that Empress Hu was in a good mood, she told him a few interesting stories about Yuanxi.

Because the Empress Hu liked Dong Shu, she doted on him very much. Every time she gave Dong Shu a gift, she always gave him a small portion of it which she could use.

Waiting for Dong Shu to finish speaking of Yuanxi's interesting story, Empress Hu suddenly looked at Dong Shu and said: "You guys only have Yuanxi as your subordinate, so when do you plan on taking another child?" Although Empress Hu didn't feel that anything was wrong with her daughter, this was how things were, without a son, it was impossible.

"I think it's a good year. If you plan on having another one, you can have another one by the end of the year."

Empress Hu looked at Dong Shu, and said those words seriously, causing Dong Shu to not know what to say.

Since Dong Shu did not know how to reply to Empress Hu, she could only lower her head and pretend to be shy and not speak.

Seeing that Dong Shu did not speak, the Empress Hu was not anxious either. She patted the back of Dong Shu's hand and then continued: "There's no need to be shy about this.

Dong Shu was truly unable to guess what the Empress Hu was trying to tell him, and could only remember what she had said.

Dong Shu stayed in the palace for half a day, and when she finished eating lunch in the Phoenix Palace and when the Empress Hu was about to rest, he made arrangements for some people to send her out of the palace.

This time, Dong Shu would enter the palace and leave. Naturally, it was the same as the past, with rewards from the Empress Hu.

What Dong Shu did not expect was that when she left the Phoenix Palace, not only were there rewards from the Empress Hu, but even her mother-in-law the Consort De had people deliver some things to her.

"Don't worry Third Madame, these things were all given to you by our Empress. Our Empress said that she did not have a daughter, nor a granddaughter, and had long heard the Consort of Fifth Prince nagging at her many times about the joy of having a daughter. In the end, the Empress ordered us to pack some things that we have saved up for so many years, things that are suitable for girls, so that we can bring them back to you when you enter the palace. "

Dong Shu did not believe what the big palace maid beside the Consort De said.

The things that the Consort De Empress had given him were things that she was not proficient in, but it could be seen that they were fashionable. They were definitely not things that had been placed in the treasury for many years.

However, she could still feel the sincerity of this great palace maid in front of her. Thinking that the Consort De Empress was Aunt Sister's mother-in-law, and their family was on the same boat, Dong Shu was just about to open her mouth to accept these things when she heard the voice of the great palace maid of the Phoenix Palace, who had escorted her away, say, "I heard from my mistress a long time ago that the palace of the Consort De is filled with many fabrics and accessories that are suitable for young ladies.

Just as the Phoenix Palace palace maid finished speaking, Dong Shu's eyes lit up.

"In that case, I will have to thank the Consort De Empress for her gift." Dong Shu understood in his heart that since the big palace maid of the Phoenix Palace could say such words in front of so many people, it meant that she could take all of these things.

As expected, after Dong Shu finished speaking, the big palace maids of the Phoenix Palace and the big palace maids of the Consort De Empress said a few warm words in front of her.

Just like this, when Dong Shu left the palace, the group became larger than usual.

With regards to the things that the Empress Hu would always give her after Dong Shu entered the palace, those in the capital who were paying attention to the activities in the palace had already gotten used to it. What they did not expect was that the Consort De had also given Dong Shu a lot of good stuff.

Dong Shu did not understand so much, only after she returned home and told Old Madame Xu about this matter, did Old Madame Xu tell her the reason behind her actions.

"The reason the Consort De did this is because she had a good relationship with our family and wanted to compensate our family for the things that happened previously. The other reason is because she wanted to use you to tell everyone that she has joined hands with the empress and that she is willing to continue respecting her."

The moment Old Madame Xu finished speaking, Dong Shu immediately understood the reason for her actions.

Right now, there were more and more rumors about Fifth Prince taking the throne, and as long as Fifth Prince was prepared to take the throne, then his own mother should be bestowed the title.

But the main empress of the palace was still here, even if the Consort De was bestowed the title of imperial concubine.

However, in this dynasty, when the Empress was still alive, there was no precedent for bestowing the title of imperial concubine.

However, when Fifth Prince really ascends the throne in the future, even if he does become the empress dowager, there would still be a main palace Empress Dowager Hu standing on top of her.

Originally, everyone thought that the Consort De would earn this title, but now with this move of hers, it was telling others that she was willing to continue to respect the Empress Hu, so there was no need to wait and see the show.

Just as Dong Shu thought about this, she told Old Madame Xu everything that the Empress Hu told him later.

Dong Shu had only repeated the conversation between him and Empress Hu about him having children, but she did not expect that after she finished speaking, Old Madame Xu would look at her with her eyes wide open in shock.

Dong Shu never thought that her mother-in-law would be so excited, she was startled, then nodded her head and confirmed: "Yes, that is what the Empress said." After saying that, Dong Shu saw that his mother-in-law's expression was a little strange. After thinking for a bit, she asked: "Mother, what's wrong with this matter?"

Under normal circumstances, Empress Hu should not have asked her about another child, and even if she had asked him about it, he would only be concerned about her. But today, she had given him some time.

If there was anything that happened at the end of the year, it would be the matter of Emperor Ruikang saying that he wanted to abdicate. But if he did, why did Empress Hu allow him to become pregnant at that time?

One had to know, she couldn't be affected when she first became pregnant, but if the new emperor ascended the throne, she would definitely enter the palace to celebrate.

Dong Shu felt that the Empress Hu would not harm him, so since she said so, there must be a reason.

Dong Shu was a little confused, she could only guess what Empress Hu meant, but she could not guess what she wanted to convey.

After Old Madame Xu heard Dong Shu's voice, she came back to her senses and looked at her.

She really did not expect that the Empress Hu would actually pass such news over to them through the Madame Dong s. Although she did not have any way to immediately confirm it, she knew that the probability of this happening was very high.

Just as Old Madame Xu was thinking about how to tell Dong Shu about this matter, Dong Shu also said a few words that Empress Hu had reminded him to not go out the door for a period of time, and also made Xu Shiqiu watch out for something.

If it was said that Old Madame Xu was only guessing in the first place, then after Dong Shu said these words, she could almost be sure of it.

Some people could not help it, they were about to make their move!
