As the new year is approaching, Anshi enters the palace again. Jinxin's current status is the same as the Vice-Queen. No one can comment on her behavior, so Anshi naturally enters the palace more times than before.
It was also approved by the emperor.
Because of Jiang Tiancheng's incident, the emperor originally promised Jin Xin that after the birth, he would shelve the matter of rewarding the Jiang family. But now that he mentioned it again, it was different from the past.
But Jin Xin was not in a hurry, because the reward was too great, and it would be easy to attract trouble, so she still wanted to wait for the queen to talk about other things.
The emperor did not often come to the harem, and after knowing that Anshi entered the palace, he stopped coming even more, giving Jinxin and Anshi enough time to get along.
Mrs. An was still used to making clothes for her children, and she liked to use materials to make small clothes. She compared them again and again, and was very satisfied with them.
Jin Xin no longer has time to ponder her old craftsmanship. She has set aside more time to study, read books, learn rules, and understand everything that women from aristocratic families have learned.
Although she may not be able to learn much, she is better because of her hard work. She has understanding, so grandma is also very happy with her progress.
Therefore, Jin Xin was already unfamiliar with this female craftsmanship.
Seeing that many of the clothes were not in Huan'er's size, Jin Xin picked up several pieces, frowned, and said half-jokingly, "Mom, why did you make so many clothes? The sizes are all wrong, I've confused you."
Anshi looked at her helplessly, "You kid, I'm not that old yet. I'm making two outfits for the second princess and the third prince. I think the material is pretty good, and I'm free. Do a few more exercises, I don’t know when I’ll be back next time.”
Jin Xin laughed when she heard this.
"You can come if you want, and I'll send a carriage to pick you up."
"Nonsense, the rules in the palace are strict. Although you are favored, you must be cautious. You don't know how unpleasant those words outside are. I'm really afraid that the emperor will believe it."
Anshi was actually quite uneasy. Over the years, she had watched her daughter come step by step. The last time she gave birth to a child, Anshi was afraid. It was a place where she could fall into hell at any time, so she had to be careful at all times.
Although things are getting better now, there is no time when flowers bloom all the time, and the fallacies of those demon concubines outside are getting worse and worse every time.
When Jin Xin heard this, she stopped laughing.
If it hadn't been for the emperor's unspeakable secret, she wouldn't have been slandered like this. Suppression was useless, but it was getting worse.
The officials in the court began to remonstrate with her and deal with her. The more the emperor ignored her, the more he was pulled out to criticize her.
Jiang Quwu was also affected, saying that he was promoted step by step because of the evil concubine who brought trouble to the monarch.
But to be fair, Jin Xin had never asked for anything for him except inheriting the title.
Everything is his own creation.
An made several clothes, and also made two inner clothes for Jin Xin. The corners of the clothes were embroidered with orchid patterns, and the other was red plums. The pattern was simple, but the embroidery was particularly delicate.
Jin Xin thought she didn't have one, but she didn't expect to get two. She hugged Anshi, pressed her face against hers, and said coquettishly, "Mother's craftsmanship is really good."
"How old are you? You are still acting coquettishly. You are already a mother." Although Anshi blamed her, she raised her hand to stroke her daughter's silky hair and looked at her tenderly.
"Mother, do you know? What I wanted most in the past was for you and me to live a stable life without having to worry. Now, even though we are not in Suzhou, I still have my wish."
An Shi smiled bitterly, feeling ashamed, knowing that she had harmed her child.
She was deceived at the time, thinking that Jiang Tiancheng was a good husband, earning money to help him go to Beijing to take the exam, and taking them away when he became famous, hoping to prove to her father that she was not wrong about the man.
They subsidized her every year and only saw her a few times every year. When her father found out that she had been tricked into becoming a concubine, he was furious.
Thinking about it now, those self-fantasies in her mind about the scholar rushing to pass the exam and not forgetting his wife, changed more than just her own life.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor wants you to go to the Imperial Study Room." A eunuch came to deliver the message.
Hearing this, Mrs. An said, "Go ahead, I'll send these items to Concubine Lan."
Jin Xin nodded and asked Caixia to accompany her.
Jin Xin changed her clothes and went out.
Anshi then took some clothes and led the people out.
But halfway through, An felt something was wrong and asked Caixia beside her, "Is this the way to Concubine Lan's palace?"
But when Anshi turned around, Caixia disappeared behind her, and Concubine Xuan appeared in front of her. Anshi was startled, covering her heart, looking at the sudden appearance of Concubine Xuan, she could only bow slightly, "I have seen Concubine Xuan." Empress."
Concubine Xuan looked at her with cold eyes, "Old lady, you are considered alone. I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
An's body paused, her consciousness was wrong, and she quickly turned around. Concubine Xuan, who had some leg skills, stopped her immediately.
Anshi was shocked. She dropped the things in her hands. She turned around and wanted to run away, but was kicked in the back. Anshi instantly fell to the ground and crawled on the ground. The things in the basket were knocked over by her, and a pair of scissors fell out. .
An didn't care too much, picked up the scissors, and said to Concubine Xuan, "Don't come here!"
Concubine Xuan paused, looked at her with a frown, and shouted coldly, "Do you think you can escape?"
Anshi was puzzled, "I have no enmity with you, why do you want to harm me?"
"No injustice or hatred? Your daughter has ruined everything for me. Isn't that enough for me to kill you?" Concubine Xuan gritted her teeth.
An was so panicked that she looked around, hoping that someone would appear and save her.
But no one passes here, and few slaves take this road at this time.
Concubine Xuan snorted coldly and rushed forward, wanting to follow the plan to kill An and drive Jiang Jinxin crazy.
But at the same time as she stepped forward, a man in black walked out from the corner and walked behind An. Concubine Xuan frowned, but saw this man grabbing An's hand and heading towards her. Concubine Xuan was shocked. , but completely unable to avoid it.
The scissors were inserted into Concubine Xuan's abdomen. Concubine Xuan groaned in pain. She instinctively reached out to catch the man in black, but was pushed to the ground by the man in black. After Concubine Xuan fell to the ground, she was unable to get up again and could only look at herself. Stop bleeding.
Anshi turned her head, wanting to see the person who was helping her, but before she could see clearly, she was hit on the back by the man in black. Anshi felt a numbness in her back and fell unconscious.
The man in black looked at the two people on the ground with satisfaction, and then left quickly.
But Jin Xin looked at the eunuch who was delivering the message with great confusion. He was walking in a hurry and didn't dare to look back. Jin Xin immediately called him, "Stop!"
The little eunuch had to stop and didn't dare to raise his head.
"What's your name? Why haven't I seen you in front of the emperor?" Jin Xin asked coldly.
"The slave is new to serve. It's normal that the queen doesn't know me." the young eunuch replied.
Impossible. The one who always passed the news was Xiao Sun next to Huang Wanshun, either Little Eunuch Yang, or Xiao Ding next to Little Eunuch Yang. He wouldn't be so ignorant as to ask the new guy to do the news.
"Catch him for me!" Jin Xin immediately felt something was wrong.
"Hurry, go back to the palace!" Jin Xin was flustered, always feeling that something big had happened.
