The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

Jingxue took out a suitcase from her backpack, which contained five walkie-talkies. These were from the mall yesterday and were outdoor products, but their maximum range was only ten kilometers.

Jingxue, who was used to using a mobile phone, felt that this thing was not very useful for the time being, but it was quite conspicuous to take it out.

However, that old man, the Emperor Emeritus, you can't get anything done without giving him some benefits. Sometimes Jingxue even wonders if all the rare items in the mall are prepared for that old man.

After listening to Jingxue's explanation, Jin Shiyi and Jin Shier said they would bring the items and the message with them.

Actually, this walkie-talkie is automatically frequency-tuned, even a fool could use it. Just turn it on, and if it runs out of power, just put it in the sun to dry; it's equipped with a solar panel.

The two accepted the small box, and all four eyes simultaneously turned to the other box in Jingxue's hand.

Jingxue: Damn it! Like general, like soldiers.

"This is for the Golden Armor Guards on duty." Jingxue opened another backpack, which contained a flashlight, a lighter, a compass, and a first-aid kit.

These items were easy to use, and the two accepted them with clasped hands in thanks.

"As you all know, my mother is about to give birth. If anything happens, please come to her aid immediately, or report to the Emperor Emeritus. I will be staying at the East Palace soon, so it's even better if you can find me. Thank you!" Jingxue said, clasping her hands in a respectful gesture.

Jin Shiyi and Jin Shier immediately knelt on one knee, clasped their hands in greeting, and said, "Your Highness, our duty is to ensure the safety of Prince Zhenbei and His Highness. Please rest assured!"

Jingxue took out four hundred-tael silver notes from her bosom and stuffed them into Jin Shiyi's hand. "Please have some tea, brothers! Thank you!" she said, then turned and left.

Jin Shiyi wanted to get up and chase after him, but was stopped by Shier, who shook his head at him.

When Jingxue returned to the front courtyard, Xiaoman, Lixia, and their parents were waiting at the entrance of the side hall. Li's eyes were red, so she must have been crying again.

"Mother, please don't do this. You need to take care of yourself!" Jingxue walked over and took Li's hand.

"I'm reluctant to part with you, but as long as you're all well, your mother will be at ease!" Madam Li said, her voice choked with emotion.

“We all need to be well! A month will pass quickly, Mother. It’s cold outside, please don’t come out. We’re leaving!” Jingxue helped Jingze put on his hat and mask, and then took his hand as they walked out of the side hall.

Once inside the courtyard, Xiaoman and the others went out first. Jingxue turned back and whispered to Jingzhiyuan, "Father, I left some food for you in the snowdrift in the courtyard, and there's some grain in the woodshed. Remember to eat."

Jing Zhiyuan paused for a moment, then nodded and waved as he watched them leave.

Jingxue left 10 chickens and 20 carp for them in the snowdrift. This was the first time Jingxue had bought fish in the mall.

Because of the drought, fish were nowhere to be seen in the capital, so she never brought them out. She didn't want to waste her breath explaining, but Li needed nutrition, and the things sent from the palace were limited, so she didn't care about anything else.

Jing Zhiyuan watched as the palace gates closed, then walked to the snowdrift, reached into the snow, and touched a bucket of fish. The bucket was covered with a layer of transparent paper, and the fish were still alive.

The two servants behind him stared in astonishment, their eyes and mouths agape.

Jing Zhiyuan made a shushing gesture, indicating that they should go in. The two immediately ran to open the door, and he strode in carrying the bucket of fish.

On the carriage ride back, Jingze was visibly nervous.

"Xiao Ze, don't be afraid! There shouldn't be any more assassins this time. Even if there are, don't be afraid, because being afraid won't help, okay?" Jing Xue sat opposite the little guy and reached out to pat his head.

"With my elder sister and several brothers around, I'm not afraid. I've remembered the skills my elder sister taught me. I want to grow up quickly so I can protect everyone."

"Okay! I believe in Xiaoze. He will definitely grow up to be a great man. Keep it up!" Jingxue clenched her fist in a gesture of encouragement.

"Okay! Keep it up." Jingze nodded emphatically.

Jingxue returned to the Prince's Mansion peacefully. As soon as she entered, she saw Ye Muchen sitting in the main hall drinking tea.

"You're back. Are your parents-in-law alright?" Ye Muchen asked, standing up.

"It's alright!" Jingxue said as she sat down in the chair.

Ye Muchen poured Jingxue a cup of tea and handed it to her. "Someone from the palace just came and conveyed the Emperor's decree. Tomorrow, they will be going to the East Palace for instruction. They can bring a few attendants and maids. Do you want to bring a few children?"

"Take them all! I don't know when they'll be back, and I'm worried about leaving them in the manor." Jingxue picked up her teacup and took several sips; she was truly thirsty.

"Then you can tidy them up this afternoon. I may also talk about the national conditions and culture of Cangbei, so I will stay in the East Palace. Although the East Palace is inside the palace, it has its own walls and gates. The children of the noble families live in Yongping Palace and Jingren Palace outside the East Palace, with men and women separated."

"Oh!"

"Originally, your eldest uncle planned to send Li Guangxing to the military camp, but now it seems that it will have to be postponed, since his son and daughter are also going to enter the palace."

Speaking of Li Huan's family, Jingxue thought of An'an and Yingying's background. She planned to do a kinship test for An'an and Jingze. Although the accuracy rate was only 70% or 80%, it should be correct.

Seeing that Jingxue didn't reply, Ye Muchen assumed she was in a bad mood after visiting her. So he said, "Xue'er, if you're tired, go to your bedroom and rest for a while. I'll call you when it's time for lunch."

Jingxue snapped out of her reverie, waved her hand, and said, "No need, I'm not tired!"

"Last night, I returned to my residence after midnight, so I did not attend court today. Tomorrow, I will accompany the Emperor to Xiangguo Temple to offer incense." Ye Muchen did not know whether he was talking to himself or to Jingxue.

Actually, he was quite looking forward to the day he would enter the palace, since that way he could live in the same courtyard as Jingxue.

Not long after Jingxue and the others left, Jin Shisan and Jin Shisi took over. Upon returning to Yue'an Palace, Jin Shiyi and Jin Shisi immediately reported to the Emperor Emeritus.

"What did you say? They actually made Princess Zhan wait for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Yes, then why didn't you show up and stop them sooner?" the Emperor Emeritus said sternly.

"Reporting to the Emperor Emeritus, we didn't expect him to keep Princess Zhan waiting for so long. We only showed up after seeing how arrogant he was."

"Hmph! If there's a next time, he'll have to go and get his punishment himself. Where is the former General Wei now?"

Jin Shiyi and the other person shook their heads.

"Show me this and tell me how to use it?"

"Yes!"

The snow delighted the emperor, for snow meant hope.

In the evening, as usual, Fu Hai asked the Emperor which concubine's palace he would be visiting that night. Although they had just finished dinner, the concubines needed to make preparations in advance.

The Emperor hesitated. He hadn't visited his concubines' palaces for three days, but he needed to go to Xiangguo Temple to offer incense the next day. He had to leave early in the morning, otherwise it wouldn't be safe to walk at night. If he were to indulge in sexual activity...

Before he could decide where to rest, Eunuch Xi from Yue'an Palace arrived.
