Dong Shu didn't understand why the Mama Yan was so happy, but she had only heard Xu Shiqiu mention the matter of 'secret guard' once, and said that in another two years, she would arrange for some secret guards to be set aside to protect Yuanxi in the future.

When she heard the Mama Yan mention the secret guard, she immediately thought of what Xu Shiqiu had said before. She then thought about what the Empress had thought about her and hurriedly said with reddened eyes, ”The Empress thinks I'm her daughter and pain.”

Seeing that Dong Shu understood the Empress's thoughts, the smile on Mama Yan's face became wider, ”When I was serving at the Phoenix Palace, I once heard the Mama Su mention that the Empress has a secret guard by her side.” Speaking to here, the smile on Mama Yan's face disappeared, and she sighed, then continued, ”It's just that in the beginning, the secret guard was prepared to keep the crown prince, but when the crown prince was in trouble, the secret guards had just started to arrange for him. All these years have passed, and I had originally thought that the secret guard would no longer be here, but now, the Empress has bestowed upon me the title of 'secret guard' that is of eight months' age. ”

knew what was going on when Mama Yan mentioned the 'crown prince'.

In the past, not only Xu Shiqiu, but even the Old Madame Xu and Xu Nuanwen had warned her repeatedly.

Who would have thought that today, he would receive the benefit of the previous crown prince?

As she spoke, Mama Yan had already coiled up Dong Shu's long hair, and waited for Dong Shu to place the chaste ring in it again before walking out the door.

Mama Yan first sent Lotus and Lixiang out of the courtyard to arrange for lunch, then made Ling Xiang stare at the courtyard gate. Finally, she casually made a hand gesture towards the sky.

The moment Mama Yan's hand gesture landed, eight young girls dressed in simple cyan clothes, who looked like brown short dresses flew out of nowhere.

Dong Shu naturally did not think that the secret guard the Empress had arranged for him was actually a woman, but when she thought about his identity, she thought to herself that it was indeed more convenient for women.

Yan mama saw the joy on Dong Shu's face and hurriedly introduced them, ”They are Yue Zhi, Yue Bei, Yue Ping, Yue Yin, Yue Qian, Yue Rong, Yue Ruo, Yue Xuan.” The eight of them grew up together, and now the Empress has arranged for them to protect Madam's safety.

The Mi Wei Duo hid in the shadows. It was rare for the eight people to show themselves, and they could be considered to have left the old owner. Looking at them now was a bit unnatural.

It was Dong Shu's first time seeing so many secret guards, so she couldn't really ask too many questions. She immediately said, ”Yue Zhi and Yue Bei go and protect Yuanxi. If I want to go out, then bring a few more people out. ” After saying that, Dong Shu thought for a while, then continued: ”If my husband is by your side in the future, you guys stay far away.”

As soon as Dong Shu finished speaking, the eight Moon Secret Guards saluted and acknowledged him.

”Mama Yan, I will leave the eight of them to you to handle. If you need anything, just go to the warehouse to retrieve it.” Dong Shu didn't know about the secret guards, so she didn't dare interfere, and only handed them over to the Mama Yan.

Seeing that Dong Shu trusted him so much, Mama Yan immediately agreed to this matter.

After getting the secret guard, Dong Shu was excited, but she thought of informing her mother-in-law, and that she would have to inform Hubby tonight.

The most important thing was, if these few girls were to follow her closely in the future, what would she do if she were to speak some private words with her mother-in-law and the Aunt Sister?

Because of this matter, Dong Shu suppressed her joy, her mind was only thinking about this matter and did not know what to do.

Seeing Dong Shu's changing expression, the Mama Yan thought for a while, and when the secret guards all 'disappeared' again, she still told her about the Queen's words.

”How … How can we do that?” When Dong Shu heard that she was going to be given the title of a Lord, she panicked.

Mama Yan had long ago told her about the 'princess, princess, county lord,' and other rank matters.

Mama Yan had said before that these were all titles that only royal women could have. Although the royal wives were bestowed the titles from the previous dynasty, only royal women had such an honor today.

According to her husband's current rank, even if she received the Empress's Divine Vision, she would at most receive a fifth rank Ingenious Vision.

But who would have thought that he would actually be conferred the title of a Lord?

As he thought about this matter, he decided to leave the matter of the secret guard for the time being. He did not care about eating and directly walked towards the Old Madame Xu's Main Yard.

When Old Madame Xu saw Dong Shu rushing over, she thought that something had happened, but who knew that it would actually happen?

”Mom, what should we do?”

Dong Shu was truly afraid. Although she was happy, she was truly afraid.

She understood her status. Although her husband used to have a first rank national general, his husband was only a middle ranked martial general.

Not to mention, his own family was even less obvious. If he were to be bestowed the title of Country Lord, what would he do in the future?

Old Madame Xu was not as flustered as Dong Shu. Seeing her nervous eyes filled with tears, she pulled her hand and comforted her, ”You don't have to worry too much. I see that she treats you like her own daughter, and if there really is such a fortunate thing, you can treat Empress like your own mother. ”

Old Madame Xu comforted her as Dong Shu recovered.

However, she was still worried about this matter, and the smile on her face no longer remained.

”Mother, I will naturally honor the Empress. Even if the Empress doesn't give me anything, I will still honor the Empress.” After saying that, Dong Shu seemed to have muttered to herself: ”I offer my filial piety to the Empress, not for these things.”

Hearing Dong Shu's words, the Old Madame Xu raised her hand and tapped her forehead: ”This is such a fortunate thing. If it were anyone else, I would have been so happy, but you're so scared.” After saying that, the Old Madame Xu smiled and continued, ”Don't think too much into it. Since the Empress had already sent word, then she would make arrangements. After packing her things for two days, she would move back to the capital. In this way, you can also receive the royal decree to enter the palace to express your gratitude. ”

Hearing Old Madame Xu's words, Dong Shu nodded her head and agreed.

However, in her heart, she was still thinking about this matter. She wanted to wait for her husband to come back tonight and ask him in detail.
