The little dark guard who travels between two lives

Yu Shen spent a happy New Year's Eve at the Qin Mansion. After Ji Wanran and Qin Mingxuan took Xinhe and Yu Shen to eat and drink to their heart's content, they took Xinhe and Yu Shen to set off fireworks in the garden.

The little girl is timid, but she always rushes to light the fireworks, and runs away after lighting them, regardless of whether they light up or not. She just covers her ears and runs away screaming.

Yu Shen could only follow her, and if she didn't light it, he would light it for her. Then he heard the little girl yelling at him: "Brother Shen, run, run!" Yu Shen walked to Xin He slowly and rolled his eyes at her: "Who is like you, a coward!"

Xin He was so angry that she stared blankly. This Brother Shen was good in everything except his mouth. Liu Niang, Wu Ma, Uncle Qin and other servants stood far away and watched the masters set off fireworks.

Since Miss Xinhe stopped prickling up her ears to inquire about things in the yard, she has regained the favor of the servants. Who can not like Miss Xinhe who looks like a rice dumpling, has beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and smiles whenever she sees people?

Liu Niang and the others watched Yu Shen and Xin He bickering and setting off fireworks, and they also felt that the New Year was even more joyful and festive with the young lady and Mr. Shen around.

Qin Mingxuan saw that the two children had almost finished playing, so he called a few servants to come up and light the remaining fireworks. Xinhe snuggled up to her mother, looking up at the fireworks blooming in the sky. It turned out that the New Year with family was so happy.

Xinhe looked at Yu Shen beside her, who was staring up at the sky full of fireworks in a daze. She wondered if Brother Shen was thinking of his father who was secretly sad.

Xin He reached out and grabbed Yu Shen's sleeve, with a big smile on her face: "Brother Shen, I heard that making a wish under the fireworks is very effective. Let's make a wish together."

Xinhe put her two chubby hands together, closed her eyes, and prayed silently in her heart: "Gods and Buddhas all over the sky, I don't know which god blessed me, Qin Xinhe, with the opportunity to be reborn. Thank you for the blessings of gods and Buddhas. Please also bless me and brother Shen to grow up happily and safely, and learn the skills to protect mother and father for a lifetime."

Xin He thought of this, opened her eyes, and looked at Yu Shen beside her. He stood there motionless. Yu Shen never believed in making wishes. The little girl was full of nonsense. He had never heard of making wishes under fireworks being effective, so he just looked at the little girl quietly.

Xin He knew that Yu Shen was as stubborn as a piece of stinky and hard stone, and she had no way to deal with him. She could only sigh, close her eyes again, put her hands together, and made a wish to the fireworks in the sky: "Please ask the gods and Buddhas in the sky to protect Brother Shen and bless Uncle Yu to return safely!"

Yu Shen looked at the fat girl who was solemnly praying to God for blessings for herself and her father. Her big eyes were tightly closed and her long eyelashes fluttered. Against the backdrop of the sky full of fireworks, the little girl was actually not that annoying. She even looked a little cute.

Yu Shen was stunned by the word that appeared in his mind. What kind of cute girl is this? She is just a greedy and playful girl who can't even write properly.

Xinhe and Yu Shen had a lot of fun. They kept saying that they would wait for the New Year's bell to ring on New Year's Eve, but in the end they couldn't even hold up the whole night. They fell asleep before the New Year's bell rang in the clock tower. In the end, Ji Wanran and Qin Mingxuan each carried one child back to the children's dormitory.

The next day was the first day of the new year, and also the day for entering the palace for the grand celebration. Ji Wanran had already prepared clothes for Xinhe and Shen'er to enter the palace, and Ji Wanran herself also made up according to her rank and prepared to enter the palace.

Xin He, the lazy girl, rarely slept in. She opened her eyes early and called Liu Niang to help her get dressed. She always remembered that today was the big day to enter the palace. She was not here just to have the imperial banquet. Today she entered the palace to finally see Concubine Shen. From what her mother said, Empress Dowager Shen was not a good person either.

I must be alert and vigilant when I enter the palace today. I don't know what tricks the Empress Dowager Shen and her nephew will come up with! Xinhe must protect her mother.

Liu Niang and the maids had been waiting at the door for a long time. When they heard the young lady calling, they immediately filed in and helped the young lady clean her face and do her makeup. The little maid kept reminding the little maid who was combing her hair: "You must comb Xinhe's hair beautifully!"

The maid who was combing her hair was called Qingqiu. She was a senior maid who always followed Liu Niang and served Xinhe. Qingqiu smiled and bowed, "Yes, Miss. Qingqiu will definitely dress you up like a fairy from heaven."

The other maids couldn't help laughing. Xin He didn't feel embarrassed at all: "Mother always says that Xin Er is a fairy from heaven. Today I have to be prettier for the Queen to see!"

Everyone in the room was overjoyed. The servants in the entire Qin Mansion envied the people who served the young lady the most. The young lady was so kind, she would call everyone "sister" sweetly, never treating them as lowly servants, and would give them a lot of money. Who wouldn't like such a young lady? Many people were trying their best to serve the young lady.

After busy cleaning up, Xinhe happily admired herself in the mirror. She was indeed a fairy from heaven. In one word: beautiful!

Xin He went to the main room to look for her mother, Yu Shen had also arrived, and Daddy and Mommy were waiting for Xin He to come and have breakfast together. The three heard Xin He shouting "Daddy and Mommy" before she even entered the room, and Yu Shen wanted to hold his forehead and sigh, what kind of young lady is like this little girl who is so fussy every day, he was really worried about her, what if she entered the palace and frightened the nobles?

Ji Wanran and Qin Mingxuan, however, showed no signs of worry, as they saw that their fat daughter was fine in every way. They smiled as they looked at Xin He who walked into the house.

The little girl walked into the house, greeted her parents respectfully, and then stood still, pulling her little jacket and staring at the three people in the room.

Qin Mingxuan was a little confused, but as a mother, she understood her daughter. When Ji Wanran saw her daughter's conceited look, she quickly said, "Look at my daughter. She is cuter than the fairies in the sky after dressing up like this!"

The father immediately came to his senses and continued to praise his wife, "That's right, my daughter is the most beautiful fairy in Beijing."

Receiving compliments from her father and mother, the little fat girl felt very happy, but there was still one person who didn't compliment her. Xin He walked up to Yu Shen again and said, "Brother Shen, you look so good in this robe today!"

Come and praise me, I have already praised my brother, Brother Shen should know how to reciprocate, come and praise Xinhe for her beauty! Yu Shen looked at the little girl standing in front of him eagerly, wearing a pink dress embroidered with peach blossoms.

The little girl still had her hair tied in a bun, but today she wore a peach blossom hairpin that the master's wife had specially prepared for her daughter. The hairpin had a peach blossom on the top, and pearl beads were hanging from the peach blossom, swaying gently with the little girl's movements.

Yu Shen lowered his eyes and said reluctantly: "Well, sister looks very beautiful today." The little girl laughed happily. It was really difficult to get the future Prime Minister Yu to praise herself.

After everything was packed up, the family left the house together. Qin Mingxuan had to attend the emperor's New Year's grand court meeting before going to the palace for the banquet, so he told his wife to be careful and left first.

Ji Wanran took Xinhe and Yu Shen to the palace in the Qin Mansion's carriage. Xinhe was sitting in the carriage, still very curious about the queen she was going to meet today. Her mother didn't allow her to ask the imperial concubine, so it would be okay to ask the queen.

Xin He hugged her mother's arm and asked curiously, "Mother, what kind of person is the Queen? Will she like Xin He and Brother Shen?"

Ji Wanran gently adjusted the crooked hairpin on Xin He's head, and then looked at Yu Shen who was silent but curious, and chuckled, "The Queen is a very good person. The Queen is the sister of the late Queen, who died of complications during childbirth, leaving behind the young prince. The Queen was afraid that the people in the palace would not be able to take good care of the prince, so she asked to enter the palace to take care of the young prince."

Ji Wanran looked at Yu Shen, whose eyes had dimmed, and knew that the child must have remembered that his mother also died in childbirth. She could not help but reach out and pat Yu Shen's little shoulder to comfort him.

"The Empress drank a sterilizing drug before entering the palace to show her determination to take care of the Crown Prince. She also took good care of the Crown Prince after entering the palace. After the death of the previous Empress, all the concubines with some background and power in the palace wanted to become the Empress. To avoid disputes in the harem and to express his gratitude for the Empress's devotion to the previous Empress and the Crown Prince, His Majesty directly made her the Empress."

When Xin He heard that the Queen actually drank the sterilizing drug, she couldn't help but sigh: "The Queen didn't want her own child for the Crown Prince, which is a huge sacrifice. Is the Crown Prince good to the Queen?"

Ji Wanran smiled and touched her kind little girl's chubby face: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also a good boy. He treats the Queen very well."

Xin He nodded in relief. This was good. Such a good queen deserved the kindness of the emperor and the prince. She smiled at Ji Wanran and said, "Then Xin He should also be nice to the queen. The queen is a good person!"

Because today was a day of great celebration, the closer to the palace, the more carriages there were. All the families who could enter the palace entered at this time, and it soon became crowded. Finally, each family got off the carriage, handed their name cards to the eunuchs at the palace gate, and waited to be arranged to enter the palace in order.

This moment is the time to show the strength of each family. The higher the official rank of the husband's family, the more attentive the eunuchs at the palace gate will be to the wives and young ladies of this family.

As soon as the Qin residence's name card was delivered, a young eunuch came to Ji Wanran, bowed and said, "The Queen has already given instructions. Please ask Madam Qin to bring the young lady and the young master with me."

Ji Wanran nodded in thanks, and took Xinhe and Yu Shen to follow the young eunuch into the palace. After walking for a long time from the palace gate, they finally arrived at Kunning Palace where the queen lived. From a distance, two palace maids came forward with a smile to greet them.

One of the maids in green palace maid uniform smiled and said, "I am Zi Yuan, the head maid in the Queen's palace. The Queen has been looking forward to seeing the Madam and the Young Miss, so she specially sent me here to wait for the Madam."

Ji Wanran quickly responded to Ziyuan with a smile: "Thank you, Miss Ziyuan." These first-class palace maids and chief eunuchs in each palace must not be offended.

Zi Yuan quickly avoided Ji Wanran's return gift. It was obvious that she was a smart palace maid and she did not easily take advantage of her master to act arrogantly.

Zi Yuan bent down and looked at Xin He and Yu Shen, smiling: "This is Miss Qin and Master Yu, right? It took you so long to get into the palace, are you tired?"

Xinhe had been staring at the senior palace maid. In her previous life, as a substitute for Madam Xinhe, she had never entered the palace. It was probably because Yu Shen was afraid that she would show her weakness in the palace. However, she had been in and out of the mansion many times.

You can tell how the owner of a big family is by looking at their servants. Today, Miss Ziyuan is the head maid of the Queen. She is polite and courteous to others. Xinhe immediately fell in love with this beautiful Miss Ziyuan.

She smiled broadly at Ziyuan and waved her chubby hands: "Not tired, not tired. Thank you Aunt Ziyuan. Xin'er and Brother Shen are so happy to have entered the palace. We are not tired at all."

Zi Yuan was also surprised when she looked at the young lady from the Qin Mansion. The girl in front of her did not have the arrogance of a lady from a wealthy family at all, and there was no contempt or disdain in her eyes as she looked at herself.

The little girl's eyes were bright and sincere. The way she looked at herself made her feel that the little girl was greeting and thanking her from the bottom of her heart. Such children were very rare among all kinds of noble children.

Zi Yuan's smile was more sincere than before. She turned around and led Ji Wanran and the other two to the Queen's inner palace. While walking, she introduced the fun and beautiful places in Kunning Palace to Xinhe and Yu Shen.

Although it was not the first time for Ji Wanran to enter Kunning Palace, it was the first time to see Miss Ziyuan introduce the palace to people so enthusiastically and in such detail. As a mother, she felt very relieved to see her daughter so likable. She was a little worried about her daughter, but now she is completely relieved.

The Central Palace was indeed magnificent and gorgeous, but it did not make people feel luxurious. Especially after entering the inner hall, one felt that the Queen Mother should be a frugal person. The furnishings in the inner hall were solemn and simple, not extremely luxurious.

A woman in palace dress was sitting on the main seat in the inner hall. Today was a grand ceremony, and one could tell that she was the current queen by looking at her bright yellow formal dress. The queen was not the kind of beauty that was bright and gorgeous, but had a round and gentle face, and a gentle and dignified smile.

Next to the Queen stood a young man, who was about twelve years old, also wearing a bright yellow robe. He was handsome, elegant, and quite calm. This was the current Crown Prince Xiao Jingrui.

To the lower right of the Empress sat a woman in palace dress, who looked younger than the Empress, dressed elegantly and freshly, with a kind of cool beauty, and smiled at the three people who came in. Next to her stood a young man, who was younger than the Crown Prince and should be about the same age as Yu Shen, but looked much more lively, staring at Xin He and Yu Shen with wide eyes and curiosity.
