Sister, look at him!

Chapter 213 The Empress Dowager, the Empress's Enemy

He Qingwan finally understood why the client's wish was to raise Sister Jin's child, because Sister Jin died.

Passing through the long corridor with vermilion columns, the sunlight shines through the carved window lattices and door cracks onto the ground, forming mottled light and shadows, which are stepped on by a pair of pearl-embroidered shoes.

"Cousin, Sister Jin..."

Before anyone arrived, He Qingwan had already started crying.

Prince Xuanyi of Jin was holding a tiny baby in his arms, and the sadness he had been suppressing was broken out again when he saw He Qingwan.

"A-Mi, Jin'er..."

His throat seemed to be blocked by something and Xuan Yi couldn't utter a word.

He Qingwan choked up twice, took the little baby from his hands, and the sadness in his eyes turned into tears, falling drop by drop, "This is Sister Jin's child... Cousin, does he have a name?"

Something is wrong. Why is this child's breath getting weaker and weaker?

【Six six, check.】

[It’s poison! The poison came from the mother’s womb!! He Bao, save him quickly, or he will die!!]

"Qi Xiao." Xuan Yi's voice trembled, "Jin'er said to call him Qi Xiao."

He Qingwan gently stroked the soft cheek of the baby in her arms with one hand. A light so faint that it was almost invisible entered the baby's body through her fingertips, clearing the toxins from his body.

"A-Mi, I'll leave Qi Xiao in your care." Prince Jin gently hugged He Qingwan, "I... only have you and Qi Xiao."

He Qingwan leaned on Prince Jin's shoulder and inadvertently glanced at the few people standing at the door.

One concubine and two concubines.

After his wife died, Prince Jin did not promote anyone else but gave all the rights of his wife to He Qingwan.

I couldn't sleep that night because of He Qing's annoyance.

She is here to enjoy herself, not to work. It’s so annoying!

Sister Jin's full name is Liu Yujin, and her father is the Imperial Censor. When she married, she also brought a concubine sister, Liu Yuluo, who, thanks to her elder sister, got the title of concubine.

She is the most annoying.

She cried all day long and hugged Xuan Qixiao, calling him her son.

The King of Jin was reluctant to scold her because she was his wife's biological sister. He Qingwan also temporarily tolerated her because she was the biological sister of the original owner's best friend.

Three months later.

As the end of the year approached, Prince Jin stayed at Shaoguang Garden where He Qingwan was.

"A-Mi, my father and mother asked me to make Yu Luo my principal wife." Prince Jin said in a hoarse voice.

"Sister Yuluo is now registered under my aunt's name, so she is no longer a concubine's daughter." He Qingwan's face was filled with unresolved sorrow and sadness. "Sister Jin has only been away from us for three months, why are they so impatient?"

King Jin didn't know how to answer He Qingwan. He gently wiped He Qingwan's tears and said, "Don't cry, A-Mi. Cousin won't let them take Qi Xiao away."

He Qingwan did not respond, but leaned on King Jin's shoulder and silently shed tears. After a long time, she choked and said, "I am just sad for Sister Jin. Cousin, we can't even keep her position as the legal wife."

Hearing this, Prince Jin couldn't help but think of something, and his hand around He Qingwan's shoulder tightened unconsciously.

He Qingwan felt pain, "Cousin!"

The King of Jin suddenly came to his senses and apologized quickly, "It's my cousin's fault, A-Mi, please don't be angry with him."

He Qingwan shook her head and said sympathetically, "A-Mi knows that cousin is under a lot of pressure right now. Not only is His Majesty the emperor, but also Aunt... The Queen is also putting pressure on cousin."

She used her hand to smooth the frown on King Jin's brow, "Cousin, A-mi will always stand by you."

The next day.

Liu Yuluo was promoted to the position of princess, but the power of housekeeper was still in the hands of He Qingwan. Liu Yuluo had not yet come to ask for it, but a little concubine, Madam Ling, came to take over.

In this regard, He Qingwan's solution is...

"Baozhu, bring me my whip."

Madam Ling was actually beaten out of Shaoguang Garden.

It happened that there was a Lantern Festival family dinner that evening. When Prince Jin learned about this, he was so angry that he wanted to divorce Madam Ling immediately. How could he allow his cousin, whom he was afraid of melting when he held her in his mouth and falling when he held her in his hands, to be bullied by others?

In the end, he was persuaded by Liu Yuluo, which made Prince Jin, who was still angry, go to He Qingwan's Shaoguang Garden again.

After the family dinner, they were supposed to stay in the queen's courtyard, which was undoubtedly a slap in Liu Yuluo's face.

Shaoguang Garden.

"A-Mi, did they bully you like this when I was not around?" Prince Jin held He Qingwan's hand with heartache.

He Qingwan did not answer directly. She pulled back her hand, took off her armor, lowered her head and used her fingers to tease Xuan Qixiao in the crib. "Cousin, Madam Ling was given by the Queen, and Sister Yu Luo was right to advise you. If you divorce Madam Ling, the Queen and His Majesty will be unhappy. A-Mi cannot destroy the relationship between you two out of selfishness."

She raised her head and looked at King Jin, her eyes slightly red, with a forced smile, "Cousin, A-Mi is fine, don't worry about A-Mi, as long as you and Qi Xiao are safe and sound, A-Mi will be satisfied."

Prince Jin's throat tightened and his eyes felt sore.

He still remembered that when he was young, his cousin wore a bright red dress, rode a Ferghana horse, and her bow was as full as a full moon and her arrow shot like a meteor.

That bright and beautiful girl who was full of vigor and willfulness is now trapped in this small courtyard, worrying about trivial matters caused by him every day.

"Ami, can you give me a little more time?" King Jin held He Qingwan's hand, "One year, Ami, at most one year, and I will let you be free and you don't have to worry about anyone or anything."

"Don't even mention a year." He Qingwan held the hand of King Jin, "For my cousin and Qi Xiao, even if it's ten or twenty years, A-Mi can wait."

*

The 20th year of Yuanzhen.

It's another autumn.

The anniversary of Liu Yujin's death has arrived, and it is also Qi Xiao's first birthday.

No one knew what the Prince of Jin was busy with. He only showed up on the day of Liu Yujin's death to accompany her tablet for a whole day, and disappeared the next day.

In order to avoid taboos, Xuan Qixiao's birthday was also changed to the second day of Liu Yujin's death anniversary. On this day, the King of Jin did not show up, but two distinguished ladies came instead.

"Mother, aunt." He Qingwan held Xuan Qixiao in her arms and stood up from the chair to greet the two sisters who were famous throughout the capital when they were young.

"There are too many people outside, let's go inside and talk."

He Qingwan gave the child to her personal maid Baozhu, and led her mother and aunt into the quiet inner room.

"A-Mi, do you know that Yu Luo is pregnant?" Qi Guanxi couldn't help but ask directly.

"Ahem." Qi Guanxu frowned in dissatisfaction, "Sister, why are you still so reckless after all these years?"

"Aunt, please be patient." He Qingwan comforted Qi Guanxi, "My cousin has only been to Sister Yu Luo's place three times in the past year. Each time, I sent someone to deliver nourishing soup on my cousin's orders."

"Did she drink it every time?" Qi Guanxi's eyes were about to burst. "Xue Yan wrote to me yesterday, saying that the bitch is already a month pregnant."

"Sister!" Qi Guanxu couldn't help but raise his voice.

Liu Yuluo is pregnant?

He Qingwan's expression turned serious.
