He winked at An Yuxiao, who glanced at his youngest daughter and said, "Li'er, you go back to the yard first."
"Yes." An Xili was also afraid that her father would misunderstand, and explained: "Mr. Gong is a friend of the eldest sister. He makes a living by selling paintings on the street. He knows that his daughter is a friend of the eldest sister and happened to meet her, so he gave her to her as a gift. Go back home."
An Xili knew that as long as her eldest sister moved out, her father would not scold her.
The eldest sister is their life-saver.
"I know, I'll take a maid with me when I go out later." An Yuxiao said in a good temper.
An Xili didn't expect her father to let her go so easily, so she quietly winked at Gong Jin and ran towards the courtyard.
After she left, An Yuxiao bowed respectfully to Gong Jin: "See the Sixth Prince."
"Master An, I am not the prince now, so there is no need to pay this courtesy." Gong Jin quickly supported him. An Yuxiao now has the most trust from the emperor.
"Xia Guan has always wanted to find Young Master Gong, and the emperor asked him to bring a message to the Young Master." An Yuxiao said.
"What did he say?" He also wanted to see his father. Now that he was not a prince, calling him father was more affectionate and he was used to it.
"With Mr. Gong's talent and knowledge, Mr. Gong is willing to give it a try in the upcoming Spring Examination." An Yuxiao said, this was naturally what the emperor wanted.
Gong Jin didn't want to go through the back door, but he also wanted to try his skills. He was actually a little excited when he heard that he could participate in Chunwei.
"Master An, could you please let me change my name for reference? Don't tell him, just say I'm not ready yet." Gong Jin said.
An Yuxiao knew his intentions. The two father and son obviously cared about each other, but they refused to tell each other.
It was an imperial decree that the emperor wanted the sixth prince to come back, but it was a pity that the sixth prince just wanted to prove his ability.

Three days later, An Xili sent her new embroidery pattern to her master's embroidery workshop. She was not praised, but scolded for her nondescript embroidery and told her to think about it.
At the same time, Gong Jin was also invited to the door of the embroidery workshop by An Xili's maid, saying that they had important matters to discuss.
Unexpectedly, from a distance, An Xili walked out of the embroidery workshop with a defeated look on his face.
Gong Jin stepped forward and asked, "Miss An, what happened?" He saw that her face looked bad.
An Xili didn't expect that he would really come. Originally, she wanted to discuss with him whether to draw some more animals. She wanted to embroider something that children would like.
Who expected to be scolded...
When Gong Jin saw that she was silent, he saw the embroidery in her hand, took the initiative to take it, unfolded it and took a look. The embroidery was very delicate, so why was she unhappy.
An Xili didn't think much and asked, "Does Mr. Gong also think it doesn't look good?"
Gong Jin was stunned and praised: "Who said it's not beautiful? I think the flower branches have distinct layers and the colors are very vivid. The little snails on the trunk are also embroidered smartly and pleasantly, as if they are living creatures."
After what he said, An Xili believed it, and quickly took it and looked at it carefully, and said: "It's very good, but why did the master scold me?"
Gong Jin immediately found out the reason for An Xili's bad mood, and said: "Is it because I didn't draw well, that's why I got Miss An in trouble and was scolded by the master? It's all my fault."
An Xili said quickly: "No, no, I think it's very good. I really like it, that's why I can embroider it. Don't get me wrong. In fact, I came here full of joy today. I thought the master would praise me, but I didn't expect it." Master asked me to practice acupuncture well."
She shouldn't be so anxious to ask the maid to invite him over.
In fact, what she was thinking was that once she was immersed in embroidery, she would not have time to discuss with him what kind of pattern to draw. She wanted to save some time. After all, Gong Jin also had to study hard for exams.
Now he was exposed to the joke.
