Dong Shu didn't understand why the Empress would become absent-minded, and why there were tears in her eyes.

She pursed her lips and gave the empress a serious look before obediently sitting aside, not saying another word.

When the Queen regained her senses, she saw Dong Shu obediently sitting at the side. The more she saw him, the happier she felt.

"Shu'er, since you said that, I've really arranged for someone to teach you some rules." The empress really wasn't just casually saying these words.

She liked Dong Shu and wanted to support him. Naturally, she wanted to prepare a suitable identity for him.

But if Dong Shu wanted to obtain this identity, she had to prove that she did indeed have this ability.

If she only gave Dong Shu an identity and did not teach her how to do it well, it would only harm her and not like her.

The Empress didn't want Dong Shu to be laughed at by others, so she prepared to send a Mama to the Xu Family to teach Dong Shu a few things. She would also be able to take care of Dong Shu and find out how his Xu Family treated him.

At this time, the empress had already recognized Dong Shu as a junior from the bottom of her heart. After so many years, another junior had finally appeared, one that made her want to make plans for her.

The empress's plan was very obvious. When Old Madame Xu heard the empress' words, she did not object and naturally did not speak up to remind Dong Shu anything.

Therefore, Dong Shu only thought that the Empress wanted to arrange for someone to teach her some palace rules and etiquette.

Regarding this matter, Dong Shu was not surprised at all. After all, ever since she had married Xu Shiqiu, she had been learning.

At first, he was learning from Xu Yanzhu, but later, he was learning from his mother-in-law. Now, he was just learning from someone else.

She felt that she could definitely learn it.

"Although you don't have to live in the palace, and I can back you up, learning a bit more is still beneficial. After all, in the future, you will have to meet someone else." The Queen patiently told Dong Shu her plans.

Dong Shu didn't seem to understand the Empress's suggestion, but in the end she still happily accepted the Queen's arrangements.

Seeing Dong Shu obediently accepting all these, the Empress's mood also turned happy.

It's just that the Queen has been sick for so many years, and her body isn't as strong as it used to be.

Even though I feel my body is a lot better than before, after talking so much with Dong Shu today, I'm still a little tired and I want to go rest.

Seeing the Queen's expression, the Old Madame Xu naturally took the initiative to take her leave.

However, before leaving, Old Madame Xu still took the initiative to say, "In a few days, this old one will bring Shu'er over to congratulate the Empress on her birthday."

When the empress heard the Old Madame Xu's words, a smile appeared on her face. "Alright, the Japanese palace is also in the palace to recuperate. I'll talk to you guys that day."

Although the empress had said "I'll talk to you guys again", everyone present, other than Dong Shu, understood that she wanted to talk to Dong Shu.

Old Madame Xu understood what the Empress meant, but she did not object to the Queen liking her daughter-in-law, nor did she intend to rely on Dong Shu's relationship with the Queen.

It was because the empress could tell that the Old Madame Xu was genuinely happy due to her liking for Dong Shu that she treated the Old Madame Xu with an even more amiable attitude.

After Dong Shu left with the Old Madame Xu, the empress instructed a Mama to serve Dong Shu with Xu Family. She also ordered a Mama to take care of Dong Shu as well as her reward for him.

The person who sent Dong Shu and Old Madame Xu away from the Phoenix Palace was the Mama Hu. The Mama Hu knew that the Empress really liked Dong Shu, so she couldn't help but say a few words to Dong Shu before sending them off.

"The Empress hasn't been this happy in a long time. If Third Madame Xu has time in the future, he can come in and accompany the Empress." After saying this, the Mama Hu did not wait for Dong Shu's reply and continued: "If Third Madame Xu is free, why not help you embroider a fortune bag. I heard that you embroidered a pretty good fortune bag."

Dong Shu did not understand what the Mama Hu was hinting at, but she vaguely sensed that the Mama Hu had some other meaning.

Just as she was about to inquire further, she saw Mama Jiang standing at the Phoenix Palace entrance, waiting for them.

When Mama Jiang saw Dong Shu and Old Madame Xu coming out, she immediately took a few steps forward. When she saw Mama Hu, she immediately opened her mouth and said, "Sister Hu."

When he heard Mama Jiang's voice, Mama Hu immediately remembered what she had told him before coming out.

She looked at Mama Jiang with a slight nod of her head before speaking, "Mama Su has already told me that the Empress has already rested. You don't need to go in and pay respects." After saying this, the Mama Hu did not wait for Mama Jiang to speak and continued: "However, Miss Zhang Family's rules indeed need to be studied properly."

Although the Mama Hu seemed to be speaking casually, Mama Jiang was so scared that she almost wanted to kneel down.

She couldn't help but clench her fists inside her sleeves, and quickly suppressed the fear in her heart, and continued to speak with Mama Hu: "The Consort De's Empress has already punished Miss Zhang, and Zhang Family will come to apologize later."

Although he said these, Mama Jiang was actually very anxious. He wanted to send a letter to Master as soon as possible so Master would know that Xu Family was valued a lot by Empress.

After Mama Hu heard Mama Jiang's words, she did not continue watching her speak. Instead, she looked at Dong Shu and Old Madame Xu and said: "This servant will send the two of you off to here. See you in a few days."

Hearing Mama Hu's words, Old Madame Xu naturally responded: "I will trouble Mama Hu. In a few days, I will bring my daughter-in-law to pay my respects to the Empress."

When the Mama Hu heard Old Madame Xu's words, she immediately nodded and turned to leave.

Seeing Mama Hu turn around and leave, Mama Jiang wanted to ask them about the Phoenix Palace, but she knew in her heart that she could not ask.

Old Madame Xu continued to ignore Mama Jiang's intentions of opening her mouth, and led Dong Shu straight out.

Just as they had taken a few steps, a group of people came out from the Phoenix Palace. They were holding onto the things the Empress had bestowed to Dong Shu and Yuanxi.

When Mama Jiang saw this scene, she finally shut her mouth tightly. At the same time, she made the decision to send a message to Master as soon as possible.

Dong Shu felt that the Empress really liked him, but the Old Madame Xu could see something else from the Empress's reward.

Sitting in the carriage, Dong Shu looked at Old Madame Xu with a puzzled expression: "Mother, what's wrong? Are you unhappy? " After saying that, Dong Shu was stunned for a moment before continuing: "Or do you mean, I shouldn't have accepted the things Empress gave me earlier?"

After the Old Madame Xu heard Dong Shu's words, she immediately laughed: "That's not true." After saying that, the Old Madame Xu immediately gave the list in her hands to Dong Shu, "First, look at the list that Empress gave to you."

Although Dong Shu did not understand what her mother-in-law meant, she still took the list after hearing her words and looked at it seriously.

Dong Shu read very slowly, because there were some things that she could not understand with a single glance.

By the time Dong Shu completely understood what was on the list, they were already home.

The Mama arranged for someone with the surname Yan. He looked like a Mama, and had a serious expression on his face.

But she had to admit that her etiquette was very good, and she respected Dong Shu a lot.

After Dong Shu let the Mama Yan lead him to rest, they followed him to the Main Yard. In the meantime, they saw Xu Shiqiu carrying Yuanxi and the others who had heard that they had returned.

Upon seeing Xu Shiqiu and Yuanxi, Dong Shu immediately forgot about what she had said to the Old Madame Xu in the carriage just now. She walked over quickly, hugged Yuanxi in his arms and kissed him first.

After hearing Dong Shu's question, Xu Shiqiu felt a moment of awkwardness. After all, after Young Girl left, his mind had been in a mess, so even if he had to take care of things, it wasn't as fast as before.

When Yuanxi made a ruckus in the end, he had reason to abandon what he was doing and started to coax him.

However, these things could not be told to Young Girl.

Seeing Xu Shiqiu's expression, Old Madame Xu could guess a bit.

"You two, husband and wife, speak first. I'll go in and change my clothes before coming out." Although what Old Madame Xu wore was not the attire of a first wife, it was more or less the same.

At this moment, she was very tired and wanted to quickly change into a comfortable outfit.

Hearing Old Madame Xu's words, Xu Shiqiu and Xu Shiqiu both immediately nodded, and watched her leave.

After she left, Xu Shiqiu turned to Dong Shu and said: "I handled it a little." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu quickly continued, "Have you managed to successfully enter the palace today, my wife?"

Once Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, he immediately told them everything that had happened today from the palace gate all the way until they returned home.

Hearing that Dong Shu had said that the young lady of Zhang Family was making things difficult for her, Xu Shiqiu immediately recalled the news that Ye Shuo had revealed to him earlier.

"That Zhang Yiran seems to like brother-in-law, so she naturally doesn't like us Xu Family people."

Xu Shiqiu understood after hearing what Xu Shiqiu said.

"Empress gave a Mama Yan to teach me palace rules. In a few days, I will be entering the palace during Empress's birthday banquet, at that time, I will be bringing Yuanxi there."

Dong Shu also liked the empress, so she took the empress's words to heart.

Xu Shiqiu did not have the intention to stop Dong Shu, but after hearing her words, he could only take the opportunity to nod his head.

"What about the list of rewards from Empress? Show it to your husband. "

Upon hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu immediately suppressed the matter of bringing Yuanxi to see the Queen, and immediately took out the list to hand to her husband.

Xu Shiqiu seemed to be much faster than Dong Shu. When Old Madame Xu finally changed his clothes and came out, Xu Shiqiu had already finished reading them.

"Does my wife know anything?" Xu Shiqiu casually asked Dong Shu.

Dong Shu really didn't see anything. She only felt that the Empress seemed to have given too much rewards.

"Empress seems to have given too many rewards, and many things just look very valuable."

Dong Shu's background restricted her vision. She could only see that the things inside the rewards were very precious, but she couldn't see that there were many things here that normal people couldn't use.

Xu Shiqiu looked at Old Madame Xu, and after seeing that she had no intention to stop him, he finally looked at his seriously, preparing to tell her about the difference between these rewards.
