The little dark guard who travels between two lives
Chapter 18 Xinhe needs to learn skills to protect her parents
Xin He, or Thirteen, who had confirmed her identity, opened her eyes from her sleep. She rubbed her eyes and found herself still lying on her mother's big bed. The fragrance of her mother still lingered around Xin He, but her mother was gone.
Xinhe remembered that her mother always got up early to prepare Daddy's clothes for court and prepare breakfast for him. After sending Daddy away, she would prepare breakfast for herself and Brother Shen.
My mother has always been a gentle and virtuous wife, and a good mother who loves her children. In my previous life, as a substitute for the lady, I seemed to have heard some things about the lady's mother. It is said that the former Prime Minister Qin was deeply in love with his wife. His wife died early, and Qin refused to remarry and raised his daughter wholeheartedly.
Mother's health is indeed not good, but she is not going to die early. Xinhe now thinks that someone is playing tricks on her whenever she feels something is abnormal. Xinhe keeps this matter in mind and thinks about how to protect her parents.
Thinking of her father and mother, she felt a warm current flowing through her heart. Xinhe buried her big head on her mother's pillow, feeling extremely happy and at ease.
In his previous life, when he was a secret guard, he had to grit his teeth and face cruel training one after another every day. After being selected as the substitute of the lady, although he lived in the prime minister's mansion, dressed in fine clothes and fed delicious food, and had a carriage to travel, it seemed that he was rich and comfortable, but in fact he had to be vigilant every day to guard against various assassinations that might occur at any time.
At that time, Yu Shen's official position was gradually promoted, and he eventually became the Prime Minister of the dynasty. At the same time, his struggle with Prince Cheng was also escalating. The Prime Minister's wife naturally became the Prime Minister's weak spot, and naturally became a sharp weapon for Prince Cheng's gang to attack Yu Shen.
During the years, Thirteen, who was still a secret guard, experienced all kinds of assassinations and suffered countless injuries. It should be said that the scarred Thirteen was lucky, otherwise she would not have been able to persist for three years.
When did Thirteen sleep so peacefully in his previous life? He never did. In this life, Xinhe finally felt the warmth of family and the preciousness of family affection. Because he didn't have it in his previous life, Xinhe now cherishes his family and his relatives even more.
Xin He lay on the bed, thinking about how to protect herself and her family. She raised her chubby hands, looked at them again and again, and sighed.
At this time, I was still a little kid, not good at literature, and I had secretly tried martial arts after my rebirth. The martial arts I had learned in my previous life were completely gone in this life. Now I was just a little fat girl who only knew how to eat every day. If I wanted to fight those bad guys, I had to learn everything from scratch. The more Xinhe thought about it, the more frustrated she felt.
At this time, Ji Wanran gently pushed open the door and walked in. She thought the little girl was still sleeping, but she saw that the little girl had her eyes wide open, her black eyeballs rolling around, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Ji Wanran looked at her daughter's cute appearance and couldn't help but chuckle: "Nannan, why are you awake? I thought you were going to sleep until noon!"
When Xinhe saw her beautiful mother, she immediately stretched out her chubby little hands and said, "Mom, give me a hug!" At this time, Liu Niang also followed Ji Wanran in, holding Xinhe's clothes, shoes and socks.
Liu Niang helped the lady wash and change the young lady's clothes, and combed her hair into a beautiful double bun. Liu Niang took out a pair of silver bells from the dressing table and put them in the young lady's double bun.
Xin He quickly shook her head: "No, Xiao Lingdang, Xin He wants to study with Brother Shen, Xiao Lingdang will affect Brother Shen's study."
Liu Niang was stunned with the bell in her hand. She looked at the young lady in front of her carefully: "Young lady, what did you say? Did I hear it wrong?" What happened to the young lady who only knew how to wear beautiful floral dresses and eat delicious snacks today? Is she going to study?
Liu Niang couldn't help it, so she reached out and touched the young lady's forehead. Could she have a fever? Although Ji Wanran was also very surprised to hear her daughter's words, she laughed out loud when she saw Liu Niang carefully touching Xin He's head, as if she suspected that Xin He was possessed by evil spirits.
"Yes, yes, did Liu Niang and I hear it wrong? When did our precious daughter become so ambitious that she wants to study with Brother Shen? Are you going to take the imperial examination?" Ji Wanran smiled and hugged her fat daughter in her arms. Looking at her serious little appearance, she felt that her daughter was really mischievous.
Xin He knew that her mother and Liu Niang did not believe her. After all, they did not know that she was not only three-year-old Xin He, but also the Thirteenth Secret Guard in her previous life. As a secret guard in her previous life, she did learn a lot of kung fu, but her knowledge was much worse. Even if she pretended to be the wife of the Prime Minister and learned a little poetry and painting, it was just a cover-up. Compared with a real lady from a wealthy family, she was still far behind.
In his previous life, he had always been inferior, not only because of his identity as a secret guard, but especially when he faced Madam Xinhe of his previous life, he would often feel ashamed. After all, Madam Xinhe of his previous life was under the guidance of Qin Mingxuan and was proficient in poetry and songs.
In my previous life, whenever I saw Madam Xinhe and Yu Shen discussing poetry and lyrics, I would feel secretly sad. Perhaps it was because I was a crude secret guard that I was never seen in the adults' eyes.
In this life, as the daughter of Qin Mingxuan and Ji Wanran, I cannot damage the good reputation of my father and mother. My father is the top scholar, and my mother is also a famous talent in Beijing. I can't just be a little foodie. I need to learn more skills to protect my father and mother.
Xin He hugged her mother's neck: "Mom, Nannan has to protect Daddy and Mommy, so you have to study hard and learn a lot of skills to protect Daddy and Mommy!"
"Oh, my daughter is going to learn some skills?" Qin Mingxuan, who had just come out of court, walked in with a smile. Ji Wanran hurriedly went up to help her husband take off his court clothes and put on his casual clothes.
Ji Wanran was busy while she said to her husband with a smile: "Yes, our daughter took a nap and when she woke up she said she wanted to study with Shen'er and learn skills to protect us two!"
Qin Mingxuan laughed out loud and picked up Xin He: "My daughter is only three years old. We don't need to take the imperial examination, so why should we study? Let Liu Niang take you to the garden to play and let Liu Niang help you catch a beautiful butterfly, okay?"
Xin He saw that her father and mother treated her words as a joke, and she pouted her lips in displeasure, lowering her head and not saying anything. When Liu Niang saw that the young lady was angry, she hurriedly coaxed her: "Young lady is too young, and the teacher will not accept such a young student. Master Shen also started to learn when he was four or five years old. Our young lady can wait a little longer and study with Master Shen next year, okay?"
Xin He sighed helplessly. She was indeed too young. She would have to wait a little longer. She could only give up the idea of studying for the time being. Xin He looked at her father and mother who were smiling and silent. Suddenly she remembered that she hadn't eaten yet in the morning!
She patted her belly and looked at Ji Wanran pitifully: "Mom, Nannan hasn't had breakfast yet! Nannan is hungry!"
Qin Mingxuan laughed out loud again. This was his chubby little girl, a little foodie! Ji Wanran couldn't stop laughing, and chuckled as she told Liu Niang, "Go see if Shen'er has finished his morning reading. Invite Shen'er to have breakfast."
Liu Niang smiled and left. Xin He opened her eyes wide: "Is Brother Shen so hardworking? Nan Nan hasn't even gotten up yet, but Brother Shen has already gotten up to study."
Ji Wanran tapped her little nose: "Yes, your brother Shen has always been so hardworking. Unlike you, a lazy bug!"
Xin He thought of Yu Shen in his previous life, who was also a top scholar and a world-renowned talent. He secretly admired him: "The Prime Minister has been diligent since he was young."
At this time, Yu Shen walked into the house. As soon as he entered, he saw the little fat girl looking at him with admiration, her eyes were about to glow.
Yu Shen was confused by the little girl's gaze. He quietly glared at Xin He, "What are you looking at, little girl?" No matter what time it was, Xin He would immediately think of the majestic Yu Prime Minister in her previous life when she saw Yu Shen. Her submissive nature was immediately revealed.
As soon as she saw Yu Shen glaring at her, Xin He immediately stood by the table properly, and smiled sweetly at Yu Shen like a flatterer: "Brother Shen, you're here, come and sit down! Brother Shen must be very tired getting up so early to study. Brother Shen, have some porridge, this is made by mother herself, it's delicious!"
Qin Mingxuan looked at his daughter's attentiveness and suddenly found it very funny: "I've never seen this little girl so attentive to Shen'er before. What's wrong? She keeps calling him Brother Shen all the time. They are so close to each other!"
In the past, Shen'er often came to Qin's house. When my daughter saw this brother, she was indeed very close to him, but he always had a little bit of a spoiled and domineering look. But she had never been like this before. Seeing Yu Shen was extremely well-behaved, just like her own subordinates seeing her.
Hearing what her father said, Xin He's heart skipped a beat, fearing that her father had seen through something, so she quickly ran to her father, hugged her father's legs, and raised her chubby face to act coquettishly to him, "Daddy, please sit down and drink some porridge. Daddy has to go to court so early, and you must have worked hard!"
Qin Mingxuan smiled and held the little girl on his lap, and then asked Yu Shen to sit down: "Shen'er, come and sit down to eat. You can sleep a little longer in the morning. You are still young, so you don't have to work so hard."
After Yu Shen bowed to Qin Mingxuan and Ji Wanran, he sat down at the table and said to Qin Mingxuan, "Thank you for your concern, Master. Shen'er often heard from Daddy that Master has been studying very hard since he was young. Daddy often taught Shen'er to learn more from Master. Shen'er has not done enough, and Shen'er will work hard in the future."
Ji Wanran caressed Yu Shen's little head with a loving heart: "Shen'er is still young, so you still need to take care of your health. Your father is just too strict with you. In the future, Master's wife will make more delicious food for you to nourish Shen'er's body."
Yu Shen looked at his master's wife with gratitude and nodded in thanks: "Thank you, master's wife!" Xin He was just taking a mouthful of porridge in her mouth. When she heard that her mother was going to make something delicious again, she quickly swallowed the porridge and shouted to her mother: "Mom, and my daughter, my daughter had a nightmare last night, and she needs to be nourished too!"
Ji Wanran pinched Xinhe's chubby cheeks with amusement: "Okay, I'll fill yours too! Make our daughter pretty." Xinhe nodded with satisfaction: "Well, thank you, mother, you are so kind!"
Yu Shen was drinking porridge. When he heard Xin He's words, he looked up at the fat girl. Her face was flushed and she was chewing an egg with her mouth bulging. She didn't look like she was having a nightmare at all.
He asked his master's wife: "Sister, did you have a nightmare? Is your sister sick?" Qin Mingxuan and Ji Wanran both looked at Xinhe with a smile, without saying anything, just waiting to see how the little girl would respond.
Yu Shen's question made Xin He, who was eating eggs, choke. How could he say that? He couldn't say that my soul had left my body and it hurt my vitality, so I needed to replenish it? That was definitely not going to work.
Liu Niang, who was serving beside her, quickly brought a glass of water to Xin He. Xin He took a big sip of water to calm her breathing. She looked at her father and mother who were startled beside her, and quickly shook her head to comfort them: "It's okay, it's okay, Dad and Mom don't worry."
She looked at Yu Shen again: "Thank you, Brother Shen, for worrying about Nannan. Nannan just had a nightmare. Nannan is not sick. Brother Shen, don't worry."
Yu Shen looked at her again, muttered "I'm glad you're okay", then lowered his head to continue drinking porridge, ignoring her. Xin He looked at Yu Shen with sorrow, oh, why is Brother Shen always so cold. Brother Shen should like Xin He very much, but why does Brother Shen always treat her so lukewarmly?
The worried little girl drank a bowl of porridge and ate two pieces of date paste cake. Her belly was round and she felt all her worries were gone. After eating and drinking, she became a happy and carefree baby again.
No, Xin He, who was very satisfied with the meal, immediately reminded herself that she couldn't just focus on eating and drinking. There was still one very important thing to do, that is, Su Peiyun, the bad woman, was still living in her home. This venomous woman could do something to hurt herself or the family at any time. The most urgent thing was to expose the true face of this woman, and to find out the imperial concubine and the prince behind her as soon as possible, and remind Dad to be careful.
In fact, it should not be difficult to find a royal concubine and a prince. There is only one royal concubine in such a big court, but it requires careful consideration to find several princes.
Seeing her daughter holding her belly and looking worried, Ji Wanran thought her daughter was full again, and asked with concern: "What's wrong, Nannan? Is your stomach uncomfortable?"
Xinhe quickly shook her head: "Nannan is fine. By the way, mother, why haven't I seen Aunt Su in these days?" When Ji Wanran heard her daughter asking about Su Peiyun, her face immediately turned ugly.
But in front of her daughter, she didn't want to show anything that would make her daughter worry, so she just told Xin He calmly: "Your Aunt Su has gone to her husband's house to see her daughter these two days. Don't worry about her, she will be back in a few days."
Su Peiyun said that going to her husband's house must be an excuse. After she stole her sister away, she must have hidden her sister outside.
She would go over to check on the child every once in a while and try to build a closer relationship with the child so that she could use the sister as a weapon to hurt her mother in the future.
Xinhe felt that the most urgent task was to force out Su Peiyun's true identity. Even if Su Peiyun hid so deeply that no clues could be found, at least Su Peiyun could be forced to fail to hide the child, so that her sister could return home as soon as possible to avoid being harmed by Su Peiyun.
