The little dark guard who travels between two lives

Chapter 33: Little Red Lady in the Palace

The two little boys nodded immediately: "Xin'er, we will study hard and catch up." After saying that, the two pairs of black eyes looked at the emperor, waiting for his nod.

The emperor was still a little hesitant, "The main reason for inviting Mingxuan here is to teach the three princes. After all, the two of them are young, and I'm afraid they will interfere with the Crown Prince's studies!"

Xin He immediately said, "We will definitely be good. Besides, we are young so we don't learn much. It doesn't take up much of Daddy's time. When we were at home, Daddy taught Brother Shen while teaching Xin He."

After Xin He finished speaking, he quietly kicked the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince immediately reacted and assured him, "I will be a good boy and will not cause any trouble for my brothers."

Qin Mingxuan didn't know whether he should tell the emperor that his daughter was indeed very well behaved in class, because many times at the end of the class, Shen'er was still studying seriously, but his daughter had already fallen asleep on the small desk.

The emperor was still unsure: "That depends on whether the prince agrees to let you two little brats study with him." "Your son agrees." As the emperor finished speaking, the prince's voice was heard outside the door, and then the prince and the second and third princes walked in.

The two little bastards cried out and rushed over together. They hugged the prince's legs one by one and raised their heads to thank him: "Thank you, prince brother. You are the best."

The second prince smiled and bowed to the emperor and empress without saying a word, then stood aside. The third prince laughed out loud: "Father, mother, there are two little flatterers in the palace now."

The Queen also smiled and said nothing. The Emperor scolded the Third Prince: "Why are you talking about your brothers and sisters? Can't you see your master is here?"

The Crown Prince and the two princes came forward to salute Qin Mingxuan. Qin Mingxuan looked at the Crown Prince and said, "Your Highness, you don't have to worry about my face. Xinhe and the Fourth Prince are indeed a little young, and I am afraid that I will delay the three princes."

The two little bastards immediately rushed up nervously and hugged his thighs again. The Crown Prince's mouth twitched. It seemed that his fourth brother learned this new skill of hugging thighs from this Miss Qin.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bowed to the Emperor and Qin Mingxuan and said, "You two brothers and sisters are eager to learn, so please follow us in class. As the saying goes, a teacher can only lead you to the door, but it is up to you to practice. I think that my father asked Lord Qin to teach us brothers, not only to learn to read and write, but also to cultivate our character and improve our moral character so that we can become great. Therefore, it is no problem for you to follow me and learn together. Being friendly and respectful to your brothers is what I should do as an older brother."

The emperor laughed loudly, and his eyes revealed the pride and satisfaction of a father as he looked at the prince. Qin Mingxuan also secretly praised in his heart that the prince was indeed worthy of the careful education of the emperor and the queen.

The Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, and Xin He also looked up to their brother the Crown Prince. The two little flatterers continued to praise him without any hesitation: "Crown Prince is so great! Crown Prince is so great!"

Only the second prince's eyes darkened, and then he concealed the disappointment and envy in his eyes, and smiled at the prince. His heart was like a turbulent sea: "Father is partial. Why did he let Lord Qin teach the princes? It's obvious that he found a loyal minister for the prince to guard beside him in the name of a teacher, and also found Lord Yu's son to be his companion. The two of them, one literary and one martial, are all around the prince. I and the third prince are just following, the third prince is a fool and is still happy, and the fourth prince is a heartless little fool. It's just that this little fool has the powerful Shen family to support him, but I have nothing."

The second prince thought of his mother, who was a concubine who entered the palace early. She was not favored and had no family background. She gave birth to a son but was still a nobody in the palace and was not even given the title of concubine. For her own future, his mother kowtowed to Concubine Shen, who had only been in the palace for a few years. Who could blame her for her high birth and the support of Lieutenant Shen and Empress Dowager Shen? In the whole palace, only he and his mother had to put on a hard-working smile every day.

The second prince looked at the people in front of him with hatred in his heart, and the bitterness in his heart almost burst out. But now he can only be patient and wait for the opportunity. Relying on the Shen family is also a temporary measure. One day he will trample all the people in the palace under his feet.

Xin He was trying to please the prince by acting like a spoiled child. This was the future monarch, and such a thick thigh must be held tightly! However, she was sensitive to a hateful gaze looking at everyone. She immediately went to look for this malicious gaze, but she only saw the second prince standing far away with a smile on his face, looking at her and the fourth prince.

Xin He felt that the Second Prince was not as calm as he appeared to be. His eyes always made her uncomfortable. Moreover, the Second Prince was attached to Concubine Shen, while she was on the Queen's side. If they were on different paths, there was nothing to say. Miss Xin Er was not close to everyone she met.

The two little girls acted coquettishly and made it a point to let Xinhe study. The queen was worried that Xinhe would be lonely because she was the only girl there, but after some calculations, she realized that the princesses in the palace were all old and there were no princesses of the same age. The fourth prince volunteered to accompany Xiner, so the queen gave up the idea of ​​finding a female companion for Xinhe.

So, when the news spread that Miss Qin had received the emperor's grace and could study with the princes, the ladies of various families envied how the Qin family had such a blessing. There were even a few ladies from high-ranking families who flattered the queen to send their daughters to the palace. As a result, the queen refused outright when she saw the arrogant or flattering looks of those ladies. She didn't want to find some annoying little girls to make the lovely Xin'er unhappy.

As a result, the reputation of Miss Qin in the capital spread far and wide. Among all the young ladies in the capital, only this fat girl caught the eyes of the emperor and the empress. She had become the most famous celebrity in the palace, and the Qin family also received the emperor's grace and favor.

Even though Mr. Qin had passed away, the Qin family was still the emperor's trusted ministers. For a time, the Qin family was gaining popularity in the capital, and Ji Wanran was overwhelmed by the number of visiting cards from the ladies of various families.

Ji Wanran became a popular lady of a high family in Beijing thanks to her husband, and people came to flatter her and give her gifts. This irritated Su Peiyun, the cousin of Qin's family, and Concubine Shen in the palace.

Ming Mo, who had been sent out to follow and monitor Su Peiyun and her maid, also brought back his own news. Ming Mo was once again sent out by the two young masters to be a spy, and he lamented his miserable fate. But Ming Mo still did his job as a spy responsibly.

At first, Ming Mo found that Su Peiyun rarely went out, and the girl Yinshuang who was with her was the one who went out the most. After following her for a few times, Ming Mo found that every time Su Peiyun sent Yinshuang out, she would go to the Fuxin Dim Sum Shop without exception. Su Peiyun even went there twice in person.

Gradually, Ming Mo felt that something was wrong. If he liked Fuxin's dim sum, he should buy some dim sum every time and take it home. But Ming Mo found that Yinshuang went there empty-handed many times and returned empty-handed. Su Peiyun also returned empty-handed the two times she went there.

Did they eat in the store? Ming Mo went in to observe and found that there were no tables and chairs set up for eating snacks. Everyone bought their snacks and left.

No matter how much Su Peiyun likes dim sum, she can't go to the dim sum shop often. It's not like she has no money. The mansion has never treated this cousin badly in terms of monthly allowance.

So Ming Mo became more cautious. He followed Yin Shuang to the snack shop twice, but he did not follow Yin Shuang back. Instead, he squatted at the door of the snack shop and waited. As expected, he found that every time Yin Shuang left, a woman in her thirties would walk out of the snack shop and leave in a hurry. But in the process of following this woman, Ming Mo would always be thrown off.

Ming Mo discovered something unusual and was eager to report it to the two young masters. However, the two young masters went to the palace to study, so Ming Mo took advantage of the time when Ji Wanran sent someone to pick up Yu Shen and Xin He to return home, and followed the carriage to the palace gate to meet the two young masters and report his grades.

As luck would have it, Ming Mo saw the woman walking out of the snack shop at the palace gate. Ming Mo also heard the soldiers guarding the palace gate respectfully address her as "Aunt Suqin," who seemed to be a very well-known maid in the palace. Ming Mo was stunned.

I always thought that the two young masters sent me out to track and monitor as a joke between children. I didn't expect that there was such an explosive inside story. This cousin is said to have a humble family background, so how could she have a connection with the nobles in the palace? If they are relatives, why do they have to contact each other in such a sneaky way?

After picking up the two young masters and returning to the Qin Mansion, Ming Mo couldn't wait to invite the two young masters over and report his recent discoveries to Yu Shen and Xin He one by one.

Xin He already knew that Su Peiyun had contact with the imperial concubine in the palace, so she was not surprised to hear Ming Mo's news. Instead, Yu Shen looked at Xin He in surprise after hearing Ming Mo's words. "Xin Er, did you know about this a long time ago?"

Xin He looked at Ming Mo who was still waiting to receive the reward. She didn't want to say more and coughed: "I have already told Brother Shen that she is a bad woman."

Ming Mo was even more surprised, and looked at Xin He with admiration. His own young lady was so amazing. She entered the palace and was loved by the Queen and the Emperor, making all the young ladies in the capital envious and jealous. She could even predict the future. It was just like Liu Niang said, the young lady was a fairy in the sky!

Ming Mo thought so, and he praised Xin He. Xin He was very happy with the praise, and finally realized that Ming Mo, the chief steward, had worked so hard for so long, but he hadn't given him any reward money.

Therefore, Miss Xinhe, who often ate and drank in the palace and robbed the emperor for many rewards, generously gave the reward money. When Brother Mingmo received the silver ingot from the lady, his mouth was crooked with joy. He vowed that he really liked the job of a spy and would work harder in the future. After expressing his loyalty, Mingmo left happily.

Yu Shen, however, had a serious expression on his face, with his small brows furrowed. He usually followed his master and father and heard a lot of information about the palace and the court. He had never thought that a little cousin in the Qin mansion could be related to someone in the palace.

Now, Daddy is out on a mission to monitor all officials under the Emperor's order, and Master has just received an imperial decree to teach the Crown Prince. Both of them have become figures at the center of public attention, attracting much attention but also deeply involved in court disputes.

At this time, Su Peiyun's tug-of-war with the palace will definitely cause a lot of trouble. This matter is really tricky! At this time, Xin He came up and said to Yu Shen in a mysterious way: "Brother Shen, do you know who that Aunt Suqin belongs to?"

Yu Shen narrowed his eyes and looked at Xin He: "Did you see it in your dream?" Xin He was stunned, and then she remembered the secret she had told Yu Shen, and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I saw it in my dream. Aunt Suqin was Concubine Shen's personal maid of honor!"

Concubine Shen's maid turned out to be from the Shen family, which was even more troublesome. Yu Shen frowned even more tightly. Yu Shen murmured, "I heard from my father that since the death of old master Qin, the Shen family's general Shen has become very powerful. He has always regarded our Yu family and your Qin family as thorns in his eyes. How could your cousin be related to the Shen family?"

Xin He spread her hands and said, "I don't know either. I only knew in my dream that Su Peiyun had a backer in the palace, but I didn't see how she got in touch with Concubine Shen in the palace. I haven't heard of any relatives between her family and the Qin family. I'm also very curious."

Yu Shen lowered his head and thought for a long time, then shouted out the window: "Seventeen, fifty-nine." Ah, Brother Shen is finally going to use the capable secret guard brother. Xin He rubbed her hands excitedly, and saw two black shadows enter Yu Shen's room and kneel in front of Yu Shen: "Greetings, Master! Miss!"

Xin He praised repeatedly: "Brother Secret Guard is so skilled!" Yu Shen glanced at her. This girl followed another fat boy in the palace every day to flatter the emperor and the queen. She spared no effort to please them. Now it has become a habit. She acts like a flatterer to everyone she meets.

Yu Shen ignored her and said to the two secret guards, "Seventeen, the cousin in the mansion has connections with the palace. This is a serious matter and has a bearing on the safety of the Qin and Yu mansions. From now on, you and Wujiu will be responsible for monitoring and tracking her. If you find any correspondence between her and the palace, you must intercept it. Be careful not to leave any traces. I will write to Dad to explain this matter. I sent you two out and did not act on your own. Dad will not punish you."

Seventeen and Five-Nine looked at each other in bewilderment. They had always thought that following the cousin was just a joke between the two young masters, but who would have thought that the two children would actually find out such important information? The two of them left quickly in response.

Yu Shen and Xin He thought that they had arranged for powerful secret guards to take action, and they must have seized the initiative, but they didn't know that they were already one step too late. At this time, Su Peiyun in Qin's mansion was in her room, checking the instructions from the nobles in the palace that Yin Shuang brought back from the snack shop.

During this period, Ji Wanran's life was going well. Her husband entered the upper study to teach the prince, and her daughter entered the palace and was favored by the emperor and the empress and became a celebrity in the royal court. All the noble ladies in the capital flocked to Ji Wanran.

When Su Peiyun saw all this, the flame of jealousy in her heart burned more and more fiercely. She thought that the person in the palace must be the same as herself, wishing Ji Wanran to die immediately.
