The little dark guard who travels between two lives

Qingyan looked at the Second Prince with gratitude, took the handkerchief and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then returned the handkerchief to the Second Prince and apologized to him in a low voice.

The Second Prince naturally took back the handkerchief, and then comforted Qin Qingyan softly: "Miss Qingyan, don't mind what Master Yu said. Master Yu always speaks like this."

Qin Qingyan glanced at Yu Shen's back and said hesitantly, "Maybe I said something wrong and offended Master Yu. It's all my fault. I don't know how to speak and always make people laugh."

After hearing Qingyan's words, the Second Prince quickly said, "Miss Qingyan, don't underestimate yourself. I heard that Miss Qingyan is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, which is what Princess Anyi lacks."

Then the Second Prince looked at Qin Qingyan's slightly raised mouth corners as she heard him praising her, and continued, "Miss Qingyan, please give me more guidance in the future if there is a chance."

Qin Qingyan was secretly delighted when she heard what the second prince said. She had never expected that her reputation for music, chess, calligraphy and painting would reach the prince's ears. She glanced at Xin He again, feeling proud. Her sister only had the title of Princess Anyi, but she was not good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting. How could she compare with herself?

Thinking of this, Qin Qingyan felt much more comfortable. The Second Prince was still a good judge of character, unlike the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince, who only knew how to chatter around Xin He. It seemed that the three of them were ignorant and like-minded.

Qin Qingyan felt extremely satisfied after hearing the second prince's praise. She felt that this prince had a keen eye for talent and spoke in a gentle voice, and every word he said touched her heart.

The second prince secretly observed Qin Qingyan's expression and knew that his words must have pleased this girl. He always knew how to speak in a way that would please her.

This young lady had just returned from the common people to the wealthy Qin Mansion. There would definitely be many people who would talk about and look down on her background. If I showed my friendliness to her at this time, I would definitely win her favor.

The second prince looked at the crown prince in front of him. He and the crown prince were about to reach the age to get married. His family background was not as good as the crown prince's, so he must marry a lady from a high-class family, which would help his future career.

Compared to Princess Anyi, Miss Qin seemed easier to please. Princess Anyi had always been cold and indifferent to me, and I didn't know where I had offended her. Princess Anyi had never been as close to me as she was to the third and fourth brothers.

Sometimes I want to get close to her and say something to please her, but she always keeps a distance from me. Today, she was ruthless to her sister, and it was obvious that she didn't take me, my mother, and the third princess seriously.

And this Miss Qin is the eldest daughter of the Qin family. Although she once lived among the common people, Lord Qin and Madam Qin must have felt pity and guilt for finding her and would definitely obey her in everything. Whoever can marry her will definitely get a lot of benefits.

Thinking of this, the smile on the Second Prince's face became warmer and his words became gentler. He followed Qin Qingyan and introduced the scenery they passed by to Qin Qingyan in a casual manner.

When they arrived at the banquet hall, the queen was already waiting in the hall with all the concubines. After the emperor entered and greeted everyone, the emperor announced the start of the banquet.

The emperor said with a smile that all the ministers need not be restrained today, as this is a day for the emperor and his ministers to have fun together. For a while, the banquet hall was filled with laughter and clinking of glasses. The emperor, his ministers, concubines, and noble ladies all drank and talked happily, and the atmosphere was very joyful.

Xin He noticed that Concubine Xi and the Third Princess were not in the hall. She thought the Queen had punished them. Xin He looked at the Queen, who smiled and waved at her.

Xin He said something to her mother and went to the Queen. This was a common thing. In the past, when there was a banquet in the palace, the Queen always liked to place Xin He to sit next to her, and sometimes she would call the Fourth Prince.

The queen always said that when she saw the two children eating beside her, she felt that the imperial meals that she had long been tired of had become delicacies in the world and became delicious.

Ji Wanran didn't care about this, she whispered to her daughter and let her go to the queen. But Qin Qingyan, who was standing next to her, felt very sad.

The Queen obviously treated her sister much more kindly. Just now, the Queen just said a few words to her and gave her some rewards, and then she only talked to Xinhe.

Now, in public, she called her younger sister to sit next to the queen herself, allowing all the ministers and ladies present to see how favored her younger sister is in the royal family.

This banquet was originally held to celebrate his return to the Qin Mansion, but the person who stole the show was still his sister.

Qin Qingyan lowered her head, hiding the jealousy in her eyes, and ate in silence. The imperial banquet that she had thought was so delicious just now suddenly lost its taste.

When the Queen saw Xinhe coming to her side, she took Xinhe's hand and looked at Xinhe carefully. Seeing that Xinhe was not injured, she was relieved.

Xin He was touched. She grinned at the Queen, "Don't worry, Queen, how could Xin Er get hurt? Xin Er is a master. When have you ever seen Xin Er suffer a loss?"

The queen also laughed: "Okay, okay, I know you are an expert. Our Xin'er is the best." Thinking of the third princess just now

She still acted unruly in front of him. Xibin seemed to be crying and admitting her mistakes in front of him, but she kept implying that Xiner, the daughter of a minister, was too domineering.

The Queen was already angry when she heard the palace maid report that the Third Princess had dared to instruct the palace maids and eunuchs to attack Xin'er. Now she saw Concubine Xi secretly accusing Xinhe in front of all the officials' wives, and she couldn't help but get furious.

The Queen was not unaware of the recent actions of Concubine Xi and her son, but she was too lazy to pay attention to them. She did not expect that her tolerance would allow the three princesses to be even more lawless, disregarding the lives of the palace ladies and even wanting to attack Xinhe. This was something the Queen could not tolerate.

The Queen dealt with Concubine Hui and her daughter with a cold face. The Third Princess was fined and confined to her house for half a year to reflect on her mistakes in her own palace. Concubine Hui was also confined to her house for three months because she did not teach her daughter well.

Xibin and her daughter did not expect that the Queen would impose such a severe punishment, and did so in front of all the concubines and ladies of the government, which made Xibin feel humiliated.

No matter how she admitted her mistakes and begged, the queen looked cold and ignored them. She ordered the palace maids to send them back to the palace to reflect, and then went to the banquet with all the concubines and noble ladies.

Concubine Xi dressed up beautifully today. She wanted to show off in front of the Emperor and the noble ladies that she had a good and capable son. However, who would have thought that she would be dragged down by her own daughter. It was really embarrassing.

She watched the queen walk away, and pointed at the third princess angrily, "It's all because of you, this rebellious girl. Your mother has reminded you so many times not to provoke Princess Anyi, but you just wouldn't listen and caused such a big disaster. Your brother's grades these days have been ruined by you."

Seeing that the Queen was merciless to herself and her mother, the Third Princess quickly banned herself and her mother from traveling, and they could not even attend today's palace banquet.

Only then did she realize that she had really gotten into trouble. Thinking of the cold look her brother had given her just now, she knew that her brother was also angry with her for ruining his plans and making her brother and mother lose face in front of the palace and ministers.

But it was too late to regret now. She dared not say a word in the face of her mother's accusations. Thinking of the gloating looks in the eyes of the concubines and princesses just now, she hated Qin Xinhe even more.

It’s all because of Qin Xinhe. I’m never done with her!
