The little dark guard who travels between two lives

Seeing that the Saint was trying to talk to her, Xinhe smiled and bowed to Yao Qi from behind the Queen. Even though the Saint didn't have any title yet, she was from Southern Xinjiang, so she just had to be more friendly to show the tolerance of the Dayin Dynasty.

Xin He felt that she was very friendly, but Yao Qi was very dissatisfied. Facing Xin He's greeting, Yao Qi did not show any reaction. Instead, she raised her head proudly and snorted coldly: "As expected, you are the favored Princess Anyi. You are so arrogant. Do you mean to look down on our Southern Xinjiang?"

Xinhe was speechless. It was the first time this saint lady met him, but why did she look like she was looking for trouble? It was inexplicable.

The queen was very unhappy. She had been smiling, but now her face was gloomy. Xinnan was also unhappy. Whose family was this person? It was very rude to talk to her sister like this.

Xin Nan walked to the Queen's side with her chubby legs and pulled her sleeve. The Queen looked down at the little girl and said, "Nan'er, what's wrong?"

The little girl pointed at Yao Qi with her dark eyes, "My queen, is that the queen in the palace? My sister is the princess appointed by the emperor and you personally, and she is not the queen in the palace. Why doesn't she bow to my sister? How rude!"

Yao Qi was furious when she saw this chubby little boy accusing her in front of everyone: "You..."

Master Wu beside Yao Qi quickly pulled her sleeve, signaling her not to get angry, as this was in the Dayin Palace, not southern Xinjiang.

The queen glanced at Yao Qi, then smiled and said to the little girl, "Yes, your sister is a princess appointed by me and the emperor. She is the empress in this palace. Except for me and Consort Shu, they all have to be polite to your sister!"

After she finished speaking, she looked up at Yao Qi, whose face had turned red with anger. "You are a newcomer, and you don't know that Princess Anyi is the apple of the eye of His Majesty and me. His Majesty has ordered that officials below the first rank of this dynasty and their families must pay their respects to Princess Anyi when they see her."

The Queen Mother glanced at Xin He who was silent beside her and touched her hair lovingly: "It's just that Princess Anyi has always been sensible and always treats others with courtesy, just like she did to the Saint just now. She never shows off in front of others, so the whole court praises Princess Anyi. No one has ever said that our Princess Anyi is arrogant. The Saint must have misunderstood!"

Yao Qi was angry when she heard the words of the Queen, who was full of protection for Xin He. Yao Qi had been spoiled by the King of Southern Xinjiang since she was a child, and she had a high status in Southern Xinjiang. Master Wu, Mr. Mei and other old officials of Southern Xinjiang also protected her very much, so Yao Qi always looked up to others.

The reason why she had to go against King Cheng's wishes and come to Dayin this time was actually because she was dissatisfied. She believed that she was both talented and beautiful, but King Cheng always hid her and looked down on her.

She insisted on showing off her talents in front of King Cheng and was determined to win his approval and let him see her true charm.

Since she came to Dayin Dynasty, she heard Master Wu and King Cheng mention Princess Anyi several times. She was always curious about what kind of person could make King Cheng value her so much and even trouble Master Wu to come from southern Xinjiang in person.

When I saw her today, she was just an ordinary girl. She was pretty, but she was far inferior to the beauty from southern Xinjiang.

I heard that Princess Anyi was of average talent and not proficient in poetry or songs, but she still managed to charm several princes in the palace.

Now the Queen even told her that Princess Anyi was the Queen's jewel in the crown. The protection of Xinhe in her words and the secret accusations against herself made Yao Qi even more indignant.

She was about to speak when Master Wu beside her stepped forward and bowed to the Queen, "This is the first time the Saint has entered the palace. I don't know the etiquette of Dayin. I was rude to Princess Anyi. Please forgive me, Queen and Princess Anyi!"

Yao Qi was even angrier after hearing what Master Wu said. She had done nothing wrong, so why did they have to atone for their sins? She was so angry that she stomped her feet and said, "Grandpa Wu!"

Master Wu secretly held her hand and whispered, "Qier, don't forget the prince's instructions. Don't be reckless in the palace. Be obedient!"

Yao Qi stamped her feet, glanced at the Queen and Xin He with hatred, then touched her face covered by the veil, sneering in her heart: "Humph, just bear with it for now, Queen, just wait, the best is yet to come."

She bowed stiffly to the Queen Mother and said, "Please forgive me, Queen Mother. Qi'er is still waiting to see the Emperor. I will leave first." After saying that, she turned around and left with her people.

Before leaving, Master Wu carefully looked at Xin He again, twirling his beard and smiling, he said, "I think the princess is an extraordinary person. Could it be that she has had a strange encounter?"

Xinhe's heart skipped a beat. She looked up at the old man. Master Wu looked at her expression and smiled knowingly. He turned around and left with Yao Qi and the others.

Xin Nan was also confused by what he heard. He shook his sister's hand and said, "Sister, why are these people so weird?"

Xinhe didn't know the identity of this old man, but the expression on his face and the words he just said to him made her feel uneasy.

I heard there are some strange people in Southern Xinjiang. Could it be that this old man saw something from me? Xin He thought about it and shook his head quickly. No, it shouldn't be. I am not a monster. I am just a soul that has traveled through two lives. I am just a normal person. No one can see it.

Hearing her brother's voice, she put aside her doubts and looked at him with a smile: "It's nothing, let's ignore them."

The Queen looked at Yao Qi's receding figure and felt a little uneasy in her heart. The Saint's eyes seemed very familiar to her, but the Saint's hostility towards her and Xin He was so obvious that the Queen was puzzled.

Zi Qi came forward and held the Queen's arm and reminded her: "Your Majesty, let's go too. It's not good to keep the Emperor waiting for too long." The Queen smiled and called on Xinhe and her brother to follow her and walk forward together.

After a while, the Queen brought Xinhe and her brother into Cuihua Palace where the palace banquet was held. The nobles and ladies who attended the banquet had already taken their seats.

Seeing the queen enter the palace, everyone stood up and saluted the queen. Xin He quickly took Xin Nan to stand farther away from the queen. How could she dare to stand next to the queen and receive the salutes of so many nobles?

Everyone watched as the Queen herself brought the second young lady and the young master of the Qin family to the palace banquet. It was obvious that the Queen favored the princess so much that even the young master of the Qin family benefited from his sister's kindness.

But the eldest daughter of the Qin family was not there, which made people think about the deep meaning of it. For a moment, eyes of ridicule, sympathy, or contempt were all cast on Qingyan who was sitting next to Mrs. Qin.

Ever since Qingyan saw her sister follow the Queen into the palace, she couldn't suppress the resentment in her heart. The Queen's move was simply telling everyone that she disliked her.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on her, which made Qingyan feel very uncomfortable. She twisted the handkerchief in her hand fiercely, wishing she could tear it to pieces.
