Although Lady Jue Luo was happy to be favored and enjoy peace, with her rank rising and her son born, she still had palace affairs to attend to. It is said that things will turn around when they reach their extremes. Lady Jue Luo believed in the doctrine of the mean and was afraid that her daughter's fortune was too great. She knew that the tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind!
An Ning explained, "On the night after Yin Yi's full moon banquet, a concubine died suddenly in Changchun Palace. The four concubines were involved, and a Noble Lady Yu died. Many palace staff were also implicated. So the Emperor gave my daughter some palace duties."

An Ning reassured her, "Mother, don't worry. They wouldn't dare to do anything big. It was just some minor trouble that I could handle. Now that all that trouble is over, they understand that this is the Emperor's will. My safety is not a problem."
Jue Luo felt somewhat relieved upon hearing this, but still cautioned, "Even so, you should still be careful and avoid making enemies everywhere."

Hearing this, Lady Jue Luo thought even more deeply. Kangxi was no longer young, only in his early forties. When Yin Yi reached marriageable age, if the emperor was the current one, it would be fine, as he wouldn't be too harsh on his own son.
