The little dark guard who travels between two lives

Nan'er didn't care how glorious the dish given by the emperor was to her. For the little fat boy, it was a very happy thing to be able to eat a plate of his favorite roast duck again.

Nan'er raised her chubby hands and bowed to the emperor to express her gratitude, then she ate the roast duck with a smile on her face. The emperor was also very happy watching Nan'er eating the roast duck.

The emperor turned his head and smiled at the queen, "Look, Ruohua, the way Nan'er eats is exactly the same as the way Xin'er and the fourth child ate when they were little. Just looking at them makes people's appetites grow!"

The Queen also smiled and looked at Xin'er and the Fourth Prince beside her: "Yes, that's why I like to call Xin'er and the Fourth Prince to eat beside me the most. I like it just by looking at them!"

After hearing what the emperor and empress said, the other ministers and ladies began to praise the young master of the Qin family, saying that he looked very blessed, and also praised Princess Anyi and the Fourth Prince.

In short, in front of the Emperor and the Empress, you have to follow the Emperor's words and speak in agreement. It is always right to follow what the Emperor and the Empress say, and you may even be able to please the Emperor and the Empress.

Didn't you see that as soon as Princess Anyi was praised, the Queen Mother immediately looked at Princess Anyi with a happy and gratified expression on her face? It was obvious that this touched the Queen Mother's heart.

Qingyan originally wanted to astound everyone with a piece of music, and she indeed astounded everyone, and received praise from the emperor and the empress. As Qingyan wished, she received praise from all the ministers and their wives.

However, this limelight did not last long as it was snatched away by his younger brother and sister.

After the emperor and empress praised him, why did he still pay attention to his two little sisters and brothers who only knew how to eat? With just a few words, he attracted everyone's attention.

Her glorious moment was so short, which made Qin Qingyan, who was originally full of pride, feel depressed. She could only grit her teeth and sit in her seat dejectedly.

Seeing and hearing everyone praising her younger brothers and sisters, Qingyan did not feel any pride or joy. Instead, she felt a resentment that she could not suppress.

It's all their fault. They are the two of them. I, her elder sister, have suffered so much for so many years living outside. Finally, I have the opportunity to show my face in front of everyone, but these two younger brothers and sisters don't understand or sympathize with my sister at all.

They had been with their parents since they were young, enjoying all the glory and wealth, so why were they fighting with me for it now? Didn't they think about me, their sister?

Thinking back to the time when Mother Lin was worried about her on the way to Beijing, Qingyan remembered Mother Lin's worried words: "Yan'er, your two younger siblings have grown up in Beijing and have enjoyed all the splendor and wealth. Mother Lin is really worried that they will look down on you and bully you, their elder sister!"

That’s what I said at the time. I also tried to comfort Lin’s mother by saying, “We are biological sisters and siblings after all. They will definitely not treat me badly.”

It seems that I thought too highly of them. Since I entered the mansion, Xinhe and Xinnan were also very affectionate to me, their elder sister, but the relationship between me and them was not as close as that between Xinhe and Xinnan. There was always a vague sense of unfamiliarity.

Seeing that Lin's mother was worried about her, Qingyan persuaded Lin's mother that it would get better over time. But today at the banquet, even though she knew that this banquet was set up for her, her own sister and brother still wanted to steal her limelight.

At this moment, Qingyan was full of resentment towards Xinhe and Xinnan, but she had forgotten that her sister had almost been slapped in the face by the Third Princess just now for standing up for her sister. She also forgot that every time the fat boy Xinnan got something delicious or fun, he would always give a portion to her sister.

At this moment, Qingyan only had resentment towards the two of them in her heart, and had long forgotten all the kindness her sister and brother had shown her.

At the banquet, Prince Cheng did not step forward to echo the words of the emperor and queen to praise the Qin family siblings. With his status, he did not need to take this opportunity to flatter the Qin family.

He sat quietly, constantly holding up his glass to drink, but his eyes occasionally glanced between the sisters Qin Qingyan and Qin Xinhe.

Although Qin Qingyan knew that she should not show her dissatisfaction at the banquet, she still could not hide her eyes after all.

Prince Cheng could clearly see the dissatisfaction and resentment in her eyes. He could not help but raise his glass to his lips to hide his raised mouth corners.

The person I sent to teach Qin Qingyan reported to me that this girl was smart and had learned the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting very well, but she was a little stingy.

Prince Cheng didn't care at all, he just told her to teach him skills and let her do whatever she wanted. In fact, Prince Cheng was happy to see it happen, because she was not his daughter, the more stingy she was, the better, because it would be easier for her to be provoked and alienated from the Qin family, and his plan would be easier to implement.

Therefore, he also sent a message to Lin Ma, asking her to say more things to Qin Qingyan intentionally or unintentionally that would be detrimental to the relationship between her and everyone in the Qin Mansion.

I don't want to return Qin Mingxuan to a good girl. Qin Mingxuan has lived too comfortably over the years, which makes me very uncomfortable.

It would be a good show if a returning daughter could cause chaos in the Qin Mansion.

The king and his ministers had a great time at the banquet. When the music ended, everyone went back to their homes.

Xinhe reluctantly said goodbye to the Queen and promised the Queen that she would go to the palace to visit her as soon as possible, then followed her father and mother back to the Qin Mansion.

Xinhe and Xinnan both returned home happily, but Qingyan seemed a little worried along the way. Xinhe looked at her and remembered the way she looked at her during the banquet, so she didn't want to say anything more.

She just pretended not to see anything and just chatted and laughed with Xinnan. Ji Wanran was also attracted by the laughter of the two siblings and did not notice that Qingyan was in a bad mood.

Qingyan felt even more aggrieved. After entering the mansion and saying goodbye to her father and mother, she returned to her cherry garden. Before she even reached the door of the hall, she saw Mother Lin standing at the door, looking forward to seeing her.

In an instant, Qingyan felt that Lin's mother was the only relative in the world who cared about her. The grievances she had accumulated during the meal finally burst out at this moment.

She walked over and threw herself into Lin Ma's arms, sobbing. Lin Ma quickly told the little girl to close the door of the cherry garden to avoid being seen by others, and then helped Qingyan into the house.

Mother Lin gently patted Qingyan's back and asked softly, "What happened? I just heard from the people in the front yard that the young lady showed up in front of the emperor and empress today. Her piano skills were amazing and she even received a reward from the emperor and empress! Why did you come back feeling so wronged? Did someone bully the young lady?"

Speaking of this, Qingyan cried even harder, sobbing as she said, "It was all because of Xinhe. The banquet was originally held for me, but she stole my limelight at the banquet, acting like a spoiled child in front of the emperor and empress, not letting them pay more attention to me, and showing off how favored she is in the palace in front of me."

After hearing Qingyan's words, Mother Lin couldn't help but sneer. Look, she didn't even need to say anything, but this child already blamed his own sister.

The task assigned by the prince was too easy, and I could complete it easily.

She deliberately sighed heavily and tried to persuade Qingyan: "Miss, even though you are the real eldest daughter of the Qin family, you have a hard life and grew up in the countryside. How can you compare to the second young lady and the young master who grew up with the Madam and the Master since childhood, and can often enter the palace to accompany the King with the power of the Qin family, so naturally they are more favored by the nobles than you."

She looked down and saw the resentment in Qingyan's eyes. She raised the corners of her mouth and continued, "Miss, you should just bear with it. Who told us to be born in the countryside and have no one to rely on? Alas, my poor young lady!"

After saying that, she pretended to wipe her tears together with Qingyan, looking even sadder than Qingyan. Qingyan stopped crying after hearing what Lin's mother said.

She wiped away the tears in her eyes and said bitterly, "I just can't bear it. I am better than my sister in every way. I am the eldest daughter. Why should I be inferior to my sister?"

She looked at Mother Lin: "Mother Lin, please wake me up early tomorrow. I want to make nourishing soup for you myself. I want to be your favorite daughter."

Mother Lin's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, then she put on a smile and said, "Yes, yes, yes, tomorrow morning I will ask the young lady to get up early and personally make nourishing soup for the lady."

She seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Oh, Miss, we still have some medicinal herbs left by the nobleman. They are said to be very effective in replenishing the body of people who have been ill for a long time. Miss, please give them to Madam."

Qingyan said excitedly: "Of course I will use it then. Mom has always been in poor health. If my tonic soup can make Mom better, Mom and Dad will be very happy. They will love me even more."

Mother Lin agreed repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I will get the herbs out right away."
