When Emperor Sheng An received the report from the people he sent, he asked whether he should send guards into the harem to stop An Xin's atrocities. Otherwise, if she continued like this, Yuhua Palace would be demolished by her.

When Emperor Sheng An heard this, he was not angry. Instead, he was amused by An Xin's boldness.

As expected, he had carefully selected his beloved son and found a teacher to assist him with the guidance of the master. He withstood the threats and inducements from the virtuous concubine and finally did not let him down.

"Xiangfu, pass on my order," Emperor Sheng'an's face became solemn, "Xianfei is forcing others to do what they want. Ignoring other people's wishes, I will confine you to house arrest for three months and let you reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors."

Emperor Sheng'an Si Yexiao tapped the dragon table with his slender hands, thought for a moment, and continued: "Mrs. An Xiaoshan, who was secretly summoned into the palace by Concubine Xian, is not afraid of power and is upright. Although she is a woman, she is knowledgeable and can be called a great scholar.

Not long ago, the Imperial College's chief academician asked to resign due to old age. I have approved his resignation. Now, in order to compensate An Xiaoshan for the grievances he suffered in the palace, I have appointed An Xin as the new Imperial College's chief academician."

"I obey your command. I will ask someone to draft the decree right away." Eunuch Xiang lowered his head slightly and wondered who this Chief An Xiaoshan was that he could receive such favoritism from the emperor.

When An Xin was chased by the maids and eunuchs of Yuhua Palace, he jumped up and down, smashing antiques and exquisite furnishings all over the floor, making the originally noble and elegant palace instantly become chaotic.

The virtuous concubine was so angry that she screamed without caring about her image and wanted to grab her and skin her alive to vent her hatred.

Eunuch Xiang finally arrived with the imperial edict from Emperor Sheng'an.

Wait until Eunuch Xiang finishes reading out the decree.

Not to mention that after being stunned, Concubine Xian's eyes were like knives, and she almost tortured Eunuch Xiang, who was reading the imperial edict, and classmate An Xin, who was also shocked, to pieces.

Take An Xin for example, he also looked confused.

April 1st had already passed eight hundred years ago. An Xin glanced at the snow falling on the dead branches in the garden outside Yuhua Palace and wondered if today was April Fool's Day here.

An Xin touched his chin and asked, "Eunuch, are you sure this is not a joke?"

Eunuch Xiang looked at the woman in front of him and saw that her face was like a silver plate, her eyes were like watery apricots, her lips were red without any makeup, her eyebrows were green without any drawing, and every one of her facial features was beautiful.

But when put together, the whole face is obviously more masculine than delicate. At most, she can be described as a dignified and elegant woman. She shook her head.

An Xin's silly expression at this moment made Eunuch Xiang feel that what he saw when he came in just now was an illusion.

"Master Jijiu, why don't you accept my order? Thank you!"

An Xin curled the corners of his mouth, "Can I refuse?"

"If you want the head, you can't." Eunuch Xiang answered simply, "Why, you are not happy about being given an official title by the emperor?"

An Xin touched his neck and said, "Uh...hehe...hehe, how could this happen?"

"..." Happy with your grandma's legs.

Eating and drinking well every day, and being able to sleep until you wake up naturally, isn't it great? I must be crazy to want to be this official.

An Xin, who was very sensible about the situation, of course chuckled twice reluctantly to express that he was pleasantly surprised.

An Xin, who didn't want to perform grand ceremonies, thought he should just follow the local customs and treat it as paying homage to his ancestors during the New Year. He knelt down and accepted this sudden imperial edict.

The virtuous concubine screamed, "You old dog, did you pass on the wrong imperial edict? Why did the emperor appoint her as the chief priest and punish me to reflect on my mistakes for three months?"

Concubine Xian couldn't accept this fact for a while, and she screamed hysterically without controlling her mouth. She blurted out the name that she usually called Eunuch Xiangfu in her heart.

An old maid standing next to Concubine Xian stepped forward with an anxious look on her face and tried to cover her mouth.

But he was afraid that Concubine Xian would punish him later, so he hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and pulled her sleeve to remind her.

An Xin secretly glanced at the old eunuch who was delivering the imperial eunuch's message and saw that his expression had visibly changed. Although he still had a smile on his face, the gloom in his eyes made people feel a chill down their spine for no reason.

"I was saying that I still have to manage the harem for His Majesty, so how can I be confined? I'm afraid you heard me wrongly."

After being reminded, Concubine Xian reacted and hurriedly explained to the old eunuch serving Emperor Sheng'an.

This old guy is in charge of all the bossless eunuchs and palace maids in the palace. Unless you are stupid, no one will offend him.

"Your Highness, you are worrying too much. Although I am old, I am not yet at the point where I cannot hear the Emperor's orders clearly." Eunuch Xiang seemed humble, but his tone was neither soft nor hard. He said, "If Your Highness still has doubts, you might as well go and ask His Majesty in person."

There was a gleam of fire in the eyes of the virtuous concubine. She cursed this old dog who followed the emperor thousands of times in her heart, but she still forced a smile on her face.

"How could that be? I was so surprised that I said something wrong. Please don't take it to heart, eunuch."

The virtuous concubine turned her head and gave a look to her trusted nanny.

The old nanny was helpless, as it was her own queen's fault for saying the wrong thing. She walked over and stuffed another silver note into Eunuch Xiang's pocket.

As the old saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain.

Some of the powerful eunuchs in the palace have minds smaller than a needle tip, especially the eunuch Xiangfu who is quite trusted by the emperor. If you offend him, the consequences may be more serious than offending a villain.

The virtuous concubine couldn't help feeling distressed when she saw so many banknotes being given away in just two days.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Eunuch Xiang took a look at the broken utensils scattered all over the floor of Yuhua Palace, and his depressed mood after being called an old dog dissipated a little.

It's more pleasing to the eye to see the culprit who made this place like this.

An Xin followed Eunuch Xiang out of Yuhua Palace for a short distance when she heard a series of crackling sounds coming from behind. It seemed that someone had inherited her mantle after she left and started smashing things to cheer himself up.

Feng Baoer, the once dignified and virtuous concubine in Yuhua Palace, angrily threw the few remaining intact porcelain pieces on the ground and smashed them to pieces.

Here, An Xin and Eunuch Xiang walked out of the harem.

When Eunuch Xiang saw An Xin still following him, he asked with a smile, "Why are you still following me, old slave?"

An Xin: "Don't I have to thank you in person?"

"Hahaha, as long as the emperor has no orders in this regard, you don't have to go and thank him in person." Eunuch Xiang knew that he had just entered the officialdom and didn't understand these things, so he explained for An Xin because he liked her.

"Oh my god! Finally I don't have to go and kneel down." An Xin: "I have only bowed down to the dead before, never to the living."

Eunuch Xiang reached out to cover An Xin's mouth, but then felt that this was inappropriate, and quickly stopped him: "Pooh, pooh, pooh, don't dare to talk nonsense in the palace."

An Xin also realized that there were many taboos in the palace, so he stopped talking.

Then Eunuch Xiang ordered a young eunuch to take her out of the palace, and he sent her out of the palace as if she were the god of plague.

The young eunuch seemed to have received instructions and refused to speak to An Xin the entire way, for fear that she would say something shocking that would cause trouble.

An Xin walked out of the palace slowly with the imperial edict in his hand. When he looked up, he saw a row of handsome young men with their own unique characteristics standing at the palace gate.

Officials passing by the palace gate couldn't help but take a second look.

When An Xin saw the group of boys he had taught with great effort, he smiled brightly at them with great joy.

"Why are you all here?"

Jiang Zhou curled his lips, "Aren't we afraid that someone will not be able to resist the temptation and take in a prince who cannot be beaten, scolded, or bullied as our junior brother?"
