The little dark guard who travels between two lives

The Queen saw that the little girl was eating snacks with gusto, but when she heard what she and Concubine Shu said, she immediately lost her spirits and looked at her with her big black eyes, full of worry.

The queen sighed, knowing that the girl was worried about her, but what was there to worry about? Since the day she entered the palace, she knew that her husband was the king of a country and could not be just her husband.

That's why I resolutely gave up all my thoughts and stopped thinking about those love affairs that shouldn't belong to me. I just need to be a queen who is considerate and kind to my children. Other things don't matter.

She originally thought that she would spend her life in a lonely palace, but now she has a good sister like Concubine Shu, a filial child like the Crown Prince, and a little girl like Xinhe who has no blood relationship with her but has devoted a sincere heart to her. What else does she want in this palace?

The queen patted the little girl's hand and said with a smile in her eyes: "Why are you so listless all of a sudden? Is it because the snacks in the palace are not tasty? Otherwise, let the kitchen bring you a big pork elbow to satisfy your craving."

The little girl has grown taller and slimmer now, but she still keeps her childhood hobby of eating pork elbows. However, she is shy now and says that she is a little fairy now and it will damage her fairy image if she keeps chewing pork elbows.

Therefore, the Queen Mother always asks the small kitchen to stew the pork elbow until it is tender, and makes sure to remove all the fragrant pork elbow meat before serving it on the table, so that the Princess can eat it elegantly while maintaining her fairy image.

Hearing the Empress teasing her as if nothing had happened, Xin He felt even more upset. In her previous life, the Empress and the Emperor had a deep love and were separated by death, but now because of her rebirth, the Empress was lucky enough to escape death, but she no longer had the opportunity to bravely confess her true feelings to the Emperor.

The emperor and the empress have always treated each other with respect, and the emperor has never been without beauties in his harem. Now there is a saint from southern Xinjiang who is going to enter the palace. The empress must be sad, right?

Xin He was very sad. If it was because of her rebirth that the Emperor and the Empress were both alive and well, but they lost the opportunity to bravely express their love, Xin He felt that this was not a good thing. Did she affect the Empress and the Emperor? Xin He felt very confused.

She looked at the queen's smiling face, but felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry. She threw away the snacks in her hand, threw herself into the queen's arms, and said with tears in her eyes: "If the emperor takes another concubine, Xin'er will not like the emperor anymore."

The Queen and Concubine Shu both laughed. The Queen patted Xin He on the back and said, "Silly child, what are you talking about? The Emperor is the ruler of a country. How many concubines he wants to take is not just a family matter, it is also a state matter. We can't make the decision."

After Concubine Shu laughed, she thought of Xinhe's words again. Naturally, she understood what the little girl was worried about and sighed deeply again.

Shufei and the Queen have known each other for many years, and Shufei can see some of the thoughts of the Queen and the Emperor. However, as an outsider, Shufei cannot say much.

Love is a matter between two people, and she had also heard about some things that happened before the Queen entered the palace. The Emperor obviously liked the Queen as his younger sister, but for the sake of the imperial power and the throne, he still married the former Queen as his elder sister against his will.

This was already unfair to the Queen, but after the death of the previous Queen, the court still acquiesced to the Queen's mother's family's proposal to marry the Queen into the palace as the successor.

To put it nicely, it was just a little dream from youth; to put it bluntly, it was selfishness and ruined the Queen's life.

Empress Shufei is a straightforward person. She has always looked down on men like the emperor. She says that she has been thinking about him all the time, but there have always been many beautiful girls around her. How did Concubine Shen enter the palace back then? It was because the emperor forgot his loyalty for the sake of beauty and fell into the trap of General Shen.

After entering the palace, the imperial concubine acted arrogantly and did not take the empress seriously. Was there no indulgence on the part of the emperor?

Thinking of the good things the emperor had done, Concubine Shu snorted disdainfully, and didn't want to make the empress angry and sad. She smiled and said to the empress and Xinhe: "Your Majesty, you asked me some time ago if I had found someone for the third son. Today I came to tell you that I have found a good girl for the third son. When the time comes, I will ask the empress and the emperor to grant a marriage and give the third son a decent life."

Sure enough, when talking about the Third Prince's marriage, the Queen and Xinhe both became interested. They both stared at Concubine Shu, and their curious looks made Concubine Shu laugh again.

"She is a girl from my mother's family, named Axuan. I watched her grow up, and she has always been a gentle and considerate girl. She is a good match for our third son. The third son also agrees."

Hearing that the Third Prince also agreed, the Empress was relieved: "The girl from your mother's family is naturally a good one. Let me take a good look at her on the day of the palace banquet."

She held Xin He's hand and said, "When the time comes, you should also help the Third Prince think carefully and find someone who can control the Third Prince, so that he won't be a naughty monkey, jumping up and down all day long."

After Concubine Shu had made her daughter-in-law known to the Empress, she felt that a major matter had been settled. Thinking of the Crown Prince and the others, she asked with concern, "Do the Emperor and the Empress have any suitable candidates in mind for the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince's imperial concubine?"

Speaking of the Crown Prince, Xin He recalled what the Crown Prince said the last time she entered the palace, and she cleared her cough awkwardly. The Queen smiled and glanced at Xin He, handed her a glass of water, and then looked at Concubine Shu: "The Emperor has already chosen a few candidates for the Crown Princess, but he is still hesitating. Let's see what the Crown Prince thinks on the day of the palace banquet."

The Queen paused and said, "As for the Fourth Prince, Concubine Shen and the Queen Mother have no objections. They just told the Emperor and me to follow our arrangements."

Concubine Shu smiled: "The fourth son told the third son a few days ago that he was not in a hurry to get married. He was still young. He wanted to practice martial arts with Master Yu and wait until he made great achievements in the future before talking about getting married."

The Fourth Prince had said this more than once, and the Queen and Xin He had heard it. The three of them laughed together again.

The Queen said: "The Fourth Prince is a good child, but he suffered at the hands of the Shen family. Many noble ladies in the capital are unwilling to marry the Fourth Prince."

Concubine Shu also stopped smiling: "Yes, the Shen family has fallen. Although the Queen Mother and Concubine Shen are still in the palace, the Shen family has no one left and is still carrying a reputation of rebellion. In the end, it has implicated the Fourth Prince."
