Concubine Chen didn't look very well when she came out of the Qinzheng Hall. She thought she had been reprimanded. By coincidence, the emperor asked people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to remove Concubine Chen's green badge that night, which added to the rumors that were already spreading.

A fire.

Naturally, the removal of the green-headed sign was not without purpose. The sign was old and had to be remade before being sent over. The efficiency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was obvious to everyone in the palace.

Those favored concubines can usually deliver an object immediately if they want it, while for those who are not favored, it is common for those who are not favored to set up a table and not be able to deliver it within half a month.

Everyone in the palace knows this truth. Although Concubine Chen entered the palace not long ago, since she can achieve the position of concubine, she is not an unknown person.

Thinking about how to survive this crisis, she was not afraid of offending Taomi. After all, she still had to spend half a year here, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor would take them back, but now it was obvious that the emperor wanted to vent his anger on the imperial concubine.

, then it won’t be so easy for her.

"Zhiyue, go get some money and give it to the father-in-laws of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Tell them that you worked hard to make a new green-headed sign for me. This is a reward for them. Tell them that if my sign is found to be old again, then

You must replace it with a new one immediately, don't wait for the emperor to find out and then do it again. This time you have to do it again, and next time it may be to blame them for the internal affairs office's failure to do things well."

"Yes, slave girl, go right away."

After all, Concubine Chen was still too young and had not been immersed in the palace for many years. She believed that as long as the green badge was new enough, the emperor would not find a reason to remove her green badge. However, the emperor did not want a new concubine.

Concubine, how about the green head card?

The removal of the green head card was just to give her a warning, and also to give a warning to the harem. Without the green head card, he could find other reasons.

Or perhaps, the emperor will never need a reason to convict someone.

"What should I do about An Qian? Concubine Chen was revoked by the emperor. Do you think I will be implicated as well?" In Xin Guiren's palace, Xin Guiren, who was slow to receive the news, took An Qian's hand.

She used to rely on Concubine Chen. What happened that day can be said to have offended Concubine Chen. And she did not have a good relationship with the concubine. She was just a noble person who had no one to rely on in the palace. She would not be able to rely on anyone in the future.

Slaughter.

"My young master, don't be anxious. It's a good thing that you and Concubine Chen had a bad relationship a few days ago. Otherwise, it's really hard to tell. As for the imperial concubine, An Qian is hard to tell." In this harem, she

After coming here for so many years, she thought she could see everything clearly, but in recent times, the thing that confused her the most was Concubine Ru.

After giving birth to a son, I no longer wanted to fight for favor. I took my son to live alone in the Old Summer Palace. It seemed that I was here to take refuge, but I did avoid many open and secret attacks in the palace.

She has been in the palace for so many years, and she cannot understand the methods of the women in the palace. Bringing her son to the Old Summer Palace is indeed a good way to avoid all kinds of open and covert attacks.

Although the approach was wise, it was obviously not in line with her previous style. She could regard these as motherly measures to protect her son, and she would give up everything for her child.

So what do you say now?

The emperor brought a group of concubines to the Old Summer Palace, and right under her nose, so many of them came to compete with her for the emperor's status. Did she really not want to fight?

Do you just want to be quick with your words?

As of now, she is just quick to talk, but she has done nothing else. She does not compete for the emperor's favor, nor does she deliberately frame these concubines. It is really unlike her.

Also, judging from the way she dealt with the Queen and Xu Wantian, her rank has risen by more than one level. If she still wants to fight, why does she still maintain such silence?

She can't figure it out?

She once thought that bystanders could clearly see what was happening, but she was wrong. She was still just a participant. Living in the Forbidden City, how could she be a quiet bystander and be alone.

Xin Guiren sat there with his head downcast, "Even An Qian, you don't know what to say about this noble concubine. I think my good days are coming to an end."

An Qian felt a little guilty because her words made Xin Guiren feel afraid in the harem, "Actually, Xin Guiren doesn't need to be so worried. Although we still don't understand what Concubine Ru is thinking, but we

As long as you don't do anything wrong, even if you are not favored for a period of time, just treat it as recuperation."

"That's all I can do. I think it's better not to go out and walk these days."

An Qian smiled and said, "There is no need to go out. I know there are many remote places in the Old Summer Palace that few people go to, and the scenery is also very beautiful."

"Then what are you waiting for? Take me there quickly. I've wanted to take a good look at the scenery here for a long time, but I don't have time."

An Qian took Xin Guiren to see the scenery in a remote location. However, Taomi has lived here for more than a year and often jumps up and down at night. I don’t know what remote place there is. Recently, many people have come to the Old Summer Palace. She

In order to escape the silence, I took my son out to take a look.

Unexpectedly, I couldn't escape this quietness.

Originally, Fu Ya also came out. She was a quiet person and could not disturb her. Fu Ya did not speak and concentrated on looking at the scenery. Tao Mi teased the child in her arms without making a loud sound. Just when it was quiet, a message came over

Very loud sound.

"Anxi is really beautiful here. There is a small rockery lake, and there are lotus leaves in the lake. I wonder if there are lotus roots? It is not inferior to the scenery outside the palace at all. I feel refreshed every time I breathe here.

,The most important thing is that there is no one here, no one will pay attention to my behavior at all, haha, I am so happy."

"Is Mr. Xin Gui really that happy?" It's really disgusting. Why don't you keep your voice a little lower when you look at the scenery? You have to speak so loudly that you can't express your inner feelings. Don't you know this is a stupid thing?

Because of your loud shouting, her son was frightened. He tugged on her clothes with his hands, and his eyes were wide open, full of fear, and she could see it.

The sudden voice startled both Xin Gui and An Qian, "Who is it?"

Taomi walked out from behind the rockery, "Do I still need to tell you, Mr. Xin, who I am?"

"I have met the imperial concubine." An Qian reacted and immediately knelt down to salute. She also pulled Xin Guiren from behind, and Xin Guiren also saluted.

She couldn't help secretly thinking that she was unlucky. She and An Qian had just talked about this unfathomable person, and now they met her. It was clear that you couldn't talk about someone behind their back, as there was no guarantee when it would backfire.

"Okay, get up." He glanced at the two people, handed the third brother to Bao Chan, and his eyes fell on An Qian.

In the original plot, Anxi had a lot of roles, but after all, this should be the first time the two of them met. "Are you the Anxi who serves Mr. Xin?"

"It's An Qian. I wonder what the imperial concubine's orders are?" An Qian lowered her head and said, although she didn't know why Taomi asked such a question, she still answered in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.

"Before I left the palace, I heard that Xiao Luzi, who was in charge of Ruyi, had a palace maid with whom I got along very well. It could be you."

"Yes, the friendship between the slave and Xiaoluzi is all because of the same interests, but there is absolutely no quarrel between the slave and Xiaoluzi. I hope the empress will see clearly." The palace maid and the eunuch have a good friendship. This can be a big or small thing.

Anxi didn't dare to answer casually.

"Of course I know that there is nothing between you and Xiaoluzi." Taomi suddenly had an idea and looked at Anxi and continued, "Now that the third elder brother is over a year old, since you and Xiaoluzi are familiar with each other,

, let Xiao Luzi come to my palace and draw some portraits of me and my third elder brother."

Let Xiao Luzi draw a portrait?

"Your Majesty, Xiao Luzi is just a servant in Ruyi Guan who works as a cleaner. If your Majesty wants to paint a portrait of the third elder brother, you might as well go to the outstanding painters in Ruyi Guan. I'm afraid Xiao Luzi's painting skills are not up to par.

The eyes of the empress."

No matter where the imperial concubine knew that Xiao Luzi's portrait was good, she would stop it. Naturally, there would be a reward if the painting was done well, but if the painting was not satisfactory, it would be beheading.

"Don't worry about this. I've heard about Xiao Luzi's painting skills. Just call him. As long as he tries his best, I will be rewarded no matter what he draws in the end."

I glanced at Mr. Xin Gui, who was already sweating, and asked you to scare my son, so please kneel for a while longer.

"Okay, I have been out for a while. An Qian, just go and ask Xiaoluzi to come. While Xiaoluzi is painting in Yongshou Hall, you can stay in Yongshou Hall to serve you. If Xin Guiren is there to serve you,

If we don’t have enough manpower, just ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to add more.”

"I understand," Xin Guiren said feebly.

"Go back to the palace. Mr. Fugui has been out for a while, so you should go back as soon as possible."

"Yes." Fuya glanced at Xin Guiren before leaving. She didn't know how this person had offended Taomi, but it didn't seem to be an important thing, otherwise she wouldn't have simply knelt down for a while.

.

After Taomi and Fuya's footsteps disappeared, Xin Guiren suddenly fell to the ground. Anxi hurried over to help her, "Guiren, are you okay?"

"Do you still care if something's wrong with me? I thought you had already hugged Concubine Ru's lap and were about to fly high." Xin Guiren pushed An Qian aside and said angrily.

"My lord, you don't think that Anxi brought you here because the concubine Ruguifei and the nobleman Fu are here, do you?" Anxi also felt a little baffled. What and what is this? If she knew that someone was here, she wouldn't be here at all.

I won't bring her here, okay?

"Isn't it?" Xin Guiren asked back, "Your Aunt An Qian has been in the palace for many years. Naturally, she knows that there are remote places where no one goes, but she still brought me here. Isn't it because of Concubine Ru's orders?

?You two put on such a show in front of me, so openly and openly serving the concubine Ru, do you think I am easy to deceive?"

An Qian closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, something seemed to have disappeared. Xin Guiren was shocked, but before he could look at An Qian more, he already said, "No matter what you think, Xin Guiren, I will bring you here."

I didn’t know that Ru Guifei and Fu Guiren would be here at all, and Ru Guifei is a noble concubine. Nowadays, apart from the long-sick Imperial Concubine, she is the only one with the highest status in the harem. She doesn’t need a slave to serve her.

In acting, as long as she says a word, even if the noble lady asks you to do something, you must do it. An Qian asks herself whether she has the ability to let a noble concubine run around and scheming for me."

"That……"

"I'm still going to find Xiao Luzi to paint the third elder brother's portrait. My lord, just go back the way you came. I'm going to go ahead."

Xin Gui stomped her feet angrily. Of course she knew that she was being unreasonable just now. She just felt angry. She didn't expect that An Qian was so disrespectful and dared to leave her here alone, waiting for her.

Those who return to the palace must report to Emperor Ming to punish this maid who does not know the heights of heaven and earth.

An Qian has always been sincere to Xin Guiren, making suggestions for her and thinking about her wholeheartedly. To be fair, it is not surprising for a master to say anything to a slave, but the problem is that she treats Xin Guiren sincerely.

Now I suddenly discovered that Xin Guiren treated her no differently than an ordinary palace maid. She could beat and scold her at will when she was in a bad mood, and he could also directly instill in her the idea of ​​being a master without any reasoning.

As a pair of ordinary masters and servants, without any affection, what she did was an overstep.

Forget it, go find Xiao Luzi first, and then go to Xin Guiren to apologize.

But An Qian didn't expect that she would never have the chance to see Xin Guiren again, because before she and Xiao Luzi finished painting the portrait of Third Brother, news came that Xin Guiren had drowned by the pond.

"You said Xin Guiren drowned?"

"Yes, the servants heard what Zhilan said in the palace of Xin Guiren with their own ears. Xin Guiren had not returned to the palace at night, so they went to look for him. When they found the pond, Xin Guiren had already drowned in the pond. His death was extremely ugly. In the palace,
