The little dark guard who travels between two lives

The emperor was even happier now: "To be a general, one must have an imperial decree issued by me. You two can't just become one if you want to." The more the emperor thought about it, the more proud he felt. Looking at the two children with puffy faces due to anger, he felt very happy.

The Queen couldn't stand it anymore, so she smiled and stopped the Emperor: "Okay, Your Majesty, please stop teasing them." Xin He and the Fourth Prince rushed to the Queen's side, each holding one of the Queen's arms: "The Queen Mother is still good to us!"

The emperor smiled and pointed at the two people from a distance, meaning that he would remember them and wait for them. The two children did not take it seriously and surrounded the queen with laughter.

The second prince stood aside, his face calm, but his heart was cold. It was always like this. When he was with the other princes, the emperor and the queen only had eyes for the fourth and third princes. Even the daughter of Xinhe, the minister, was much more favored than him.

He never compared himself with the crown prince, but as a prince born out of wedlock, why couldn't the emperor and empress see his own excellence?

His mother had always been humble in the palace, so why should they be inferior to others? He must get everything he wanted. The second prince gritted his teeth secretly, with a hint of smile on his face, watching the fourth prince and Xin He laughing and playing like everyone else.

At this time, Zhang Dequan bowed to the emperor, empress, and concubine Shu and said, "Your Majesty, Empress, the Ministry of Rites reported that the Saintess and the ambassador from Southern Xinjiang have arrived in the capital, and the Ministry of Rites has settled them in the Sifang Pavilion."

Zhang Dequan paused, glanced at the queen, and then said, "The Ministry of Rites has come to ask for the emperor's will. When will the saint be sent to the palace?"

The children who were smiling just now stopped smiling after hearing what Zhang Dequan said. Xinhe looked at the queen worriedly.

The queen's face was calm, except when Xinhe looked over, she smiled at her. But Xinhe felt extremely sad.

After hearing what Zhang Dequan said, the emperor immediately looked at the queen, but seeing the queen's expressionless face, he lowered his head in frustration and looked at Zhang Dequan again: "Why do you come to ask me about such a small matter? What is the Ministry of Rites doing? Tell them to settle down in Sifang Pavilion first!"

Zhang Dequan saw that the emperor looked unhappy, so he quickly bowed and said he would go out. The lively atmosphere in the room suddenly disappeared and became quiet.

The Queen still looked at the Emperor calmly: "Your Majesty, the Saint of Southern Xinjiang should not be treated with disrespect. According to convention, the Saint's entry into the palace is also a matter of the harem. I dare to suggest that when the palace banquet is held in three days, the Saint should be invited to the palace. It can be regarded as a public appearance, and it also shows that the Emperor values ​​Southern Xinjiang. What do you think?"

The emperor felt as if his breath was stuck in his chest, which made him feel very uncomfortable. At first, he entered Shen Yining's room by mistake when he was drunk. He felt sorry for the queen, but the queen calmly asked to let Shen Yining enter the palace.

Even when she was angry and wanted to make Shen Yining a concubine, the queen accepted it calmly. It was still the same now, the saint wanted to enter the palace, and the queen still accepted it calmly.

The emperor became angrier and angrier, and stood up suddenly: "Since the queen thinks it is a harem matter, then let's listen to her!" He looked at the queen: "I still have things to deal with, the queen should take a good rest first!"

Everyone stood up and respectfully sent the emperor off. Everyone could see that the emperor was angry, but the queen remained calm and asked the princes about their homework and recent situations in a gentle voice.

After all, Concubine Shu saw that the queen's face was still a little bad, so she stood up quickly and took the princes to bid farewell to the queen and left Kunning Palace. Before leaving, she also asked Ziqi to take good care of the queen.

Xinhe didn't want to leave at this time, so she stayed with the Queen. When she saw Ziqi bringing a cup of bird's nest, she quickly took it and carefully handed it to the Queen.

The queen took the bird's nest and drank a sip, then looked at Xinhe. The little girl was tugging at the corner of her clothes and looked entangled. The queen smiled and said, "Xin'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you entangled in front of me? Just say what you want to say!"

Xin He hesitated for a long time, but decided to ask the Queen. She looked around slyly.

The Queen's palace never kept so many palace maids and eunuchs to serve. Now that the Queen was resting, Ziqi and Xinhe were the only ones left in the room.

Aunt Ziqi has been following the Queen, so Xinhe is still very relieved. So the little girl plucked up the courage to ask the Queen in a very low voice: "My Queen, don't you like the Emperor anymore?"

After hearing what Xin He said, the Queen burst out laughing: "Just this sentence, why do you have to be so mysterious?"

Xin He said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, you just let the Saint Girl into the palace. Xin Er thinks the Emperor is angry. The Emperor must think that Your Majesty doesn't like him, so he agreed to let the Saint Girl into the palace so easily."

She blinked her big eyes and looked at the queen: "Your Majesty, do you really not like the emperor?" The little girl waited anxiously for the queen's answer.

The queen reached out her hand and touched Xin He's big eyes, and smiled softly: "Xin Er, how much love and affection can this palace contain?"

"You heard what I said to the prince last time. He said he liked you. I believe in the child I raised, so this love must be real."

"But I can't guarantee how long this love will last. How many people trapped in the palace dare to say that they will like and love someone forever?"

"So, I rejected the prince. I knew he would be sad, but you are my child, and I don't want to trap you in this deep palace. I don't want to see you two end up sad together."

"In the future, find someone you really like. It doesn't matter if he is from a high-class family, as long as he treats you well. Xin'er, I want to remind you that you should never give your heart to someone first, otherwise you will lose miserably."

"If you don't take the initiative to give him your true heart, maybe you won't be so heartbroken in the future, do you understand?" The queen looked at Xinhe lovingly.

Xin He felt a soreness in her eyes and wanted to cry: "My Queen, Xin Er understands. If you hide your true heart and don't give it away easily, you won't be easily hurt!"

It was indeed like that. In my previous life, I fell in love with Prime Minister Yu, who was so different from me, and easily revealed my feelings.

As a result, he was secretly reminded by Prime Minister Yu in his previous life that he sneered at his feelings, and Madam Yu, his sister in his previous life, mocked him to the utmost.

The feeling of offering one's true heart but having it trampled upon is so painful. Xinhe still feels uncomfortable when she thinks about it now.

Xin He understood the meaning of the Queen's words. The Queen had sealed her heart even tighter in this life. She would never easily give her true heart to the Emperor. This way, the Queen would still be the indifferent Queen and would never be hurt.

But the bottom line is that the emperor has not been able to truly enter the queen's heart, and the queen does not trust the emperor enough, so she still guards her heart tightly and will not give it up easily.
