The little dark guard who travels between two lives

Xinhe felt that Daddy was getting busier and busier, always working in the study until late every day. After Uncle Yu recovered from his injury, he was just as busy as Daddy, and the two of them were always busy arranging various things together.

Xinhe always felt sorry for her father seeing how busy he was. Meanwhile, her mother was approaching the time for delivery, her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and it was becoming increasingly inconvenient for her to move around.

Xinhe looked at her mother's big belly and was secretly worried, because she had traveled back to her previous life and saw the dangerous scene of her mother's last delivery. This time, Xinhe reminded her father and mother early on to prepare the midwife and doctor.

Qin Mingxuan and Ji Wanran couldn't stop laughing as they watched their chubby daughter chattering around like a housekeeper, arranging this and that.

Ji Wanran hugged the fat girl into her arms and kissed her with satisfaction: "My baby daughter is becoming more and more sensible!"

Qin Mingxuan smiled and teased his daughter: "Nannan, aren't you afraid that after the little brother or sister is born, Daddy and Mommy will no longer like Nannan and only care about the younger one?"

Xin He hugged her mother's arm with a smile. Her mother's belly was too big, and now she couldn't hug her mother's neck. Xin He raised her head and said to her father proudly: "Nan Nan is not afraid. Even if she has a little brother, Daddy and Mommy will still love Nan Nan."

Xinhe shook her big head, and while telling Liu Niang to take good care of her mother, she also told the housekeeper Uncle Qin to arrange for some midnight snacks to be sent to Dad and Uncle Yu in the evening so that Dad and Uncle Yu could replenish their bodies.

Both Liu Niang and Qin Shu responded with a smile: "Yes, we will definitely take good care of the adults and the lady according to the young lady's instructions." The family of three was laughing happily together, and Liu Niang and Qin Shu were also watching happily from the side.

At this moment, Xinhe only hoped that her mother could give birth to the child safely. She put aside other things, such as hearing that Concubine Shen in the palace was finally released from house arrest and knelt in tears to admit her mistakes in front of the emperor and empress, and that Su Peiyun asked all the servants in the Qin Mansion to come back and sent a message saying that she would recuperate in her hometown for a while before coming back, etc.

Xinhe once asked her father secretly, and her father said that he had arranged for someone to keep an eye on Captain Shen, but no problems had been found so far.

In addition to accompanying the prince to study and practice martial arts in the palace, Yu Shen often followed his father to the Qin Mansion when he was free. Behind the two adults' backs, Yu Shen also quietly asked Xin He why she didn't want Concubine Shen to lift the house arrest.

Xin He told Yu Shen about her dream and what she had told her father about it. Yu Shen also agreed with Xin He's approach. After all, two children were really powerless in the face of a top official in the court.

Although the arrangement they made during the Lantern Festival last time worked to a certain extent, it was still very dangerous when I thought about it later. In the future, the two of them can no longer do things secretly like this, and they still have to rely on their two fathers when they should.

Since General Shen hadn't made any move yet, Xin He was looking forward to the unborn child. When the sweet osmanthus flowers were fragrant in September, Ji Wanran finally gave birth.

Because Qin Mingxuan was not with his wife during the first birth, and such a bad thing happened. Therefore, Qin Mingxuan was very nervous about this birth. Before the birth, he repeatedly confirmed everything with Liu Niang and Qin Shu, and the midwife and doctor were prepared early.

Even so, when the day Ji Wanran gave birth came, Qin Mingxuan still stood nervously outside the delivery room, feeling uneasy and pacing back and forth.

Xin He followed behind her father, walking around like a little tail. Whenever they heard her mother's painful screams in the delivery room, both father and daughter trembled and looked at each other involuntarily.

Uncle Qin watched the father and daughter, who were as anxious as a revolving lantern, and had to step forward to comfort them: "My Lord, Miss, please don't be like this. Women have different birth times. This is the second child of the Madam, so it will be safe."

Qin Mingxuan murmured to himself, "Yes, it will be safe, it will be safe." He suddenly looked at Xinhe, squatted down, and asked his daughter quietly, "Nannan, have you ever dreamed of your mother giving birth to this child?"

Xinhe was stunned, knowing that her father was too worried about her mother. What she witnessed was the tragic childbirth last time, where her mother almost lost her life and also lost a sister, but she couldn't tell her father yet.

Xin He hugged her father's neck and comforted him: "Daddy, it's okay, it's okay, mother will definitely give birth to my little brother safely."

Xin He comforted herself in the same way. The child that she had lost in her previous life because of her murder and disappearance would surely be safe and sound now that she was reborn.

At this time, a loud baby cry came from the delivery room. The father and daughter looked at each other in surprise and said in unison: "It's born, it's born!" The two immediately rushed into the delivery room.

Liu Niang came out of the inner room with a swaddling baby in her arms and smiled. She held the baby in front of the father and daughter and said, "Congratulations, my lord. Your wife has given birth to a little boy. Both mother and child are safe."

Qin Mingxuan glanced at his swaddled son and hurriedly asked Liu Niang, "How is Madam?" Liu Niang smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Madam gave birth smoothly this time because she took good care of herself during pregnancy. Madam is just too tired and fell asleep now."

Qin Mingxuan rubbed his hands with joy and hurriedly called to Uncle Qin: "Uncle Qin, pass the orders down. Madam will give birth smoothly and both mother and child are safe. All the servants in the mansion will be rewarded." Uncle Qin also rubbed his eyes with joy. He agreed and went down to make the arrangements.

Xin He jumped around Liu Niang: "Liu Niang, Liu Niang, let me see my little brother. I want to see my little brother." Liu Niang smiled and squatted down to bring the baby to Xin He's eyes: "Miss, take a look, this is your little brother. How beautiful!"

Xin He looked expectantly at the little brother she had been waiting for, but she saw a little guy with red and wrinkled skin. Xin He jumped again in fright: "Mother Liu, why is the little brother so ugly?!"

Liu Niang smiled even more happily: "The little boy is so beautiful! He is the same as when Miss was born. When Miss sees him again in a few days, she will know that the little boy is a beautiful baby."

Xin He was unhappy and pouted, "How can I be the same as my brother? I am a fairy in heaven, how can I be as ugly as my little brother? Lady Liu must be lying to me."

Xinhe looked at the little brother again, sighed and said: "Although he is ugly, he is Xiner's biological brother. Xiner will definitely not mind that he is ugly. Xiner will be good to her brother." Qin Mingxuan and Liu Niang laughed when they heard Xinhe's words.

When Ji Wanran woke up, she saw her husband and daughter standing by her side with eager eyes. Ji Wanran smiled at them and said softly, "Husband, let me see our child."

Qin Mingxuan helped Ji Wanran sit up on the bed, and Liu Niang quickly handed the baby to Ji Wanran: "Madam, look, the little boy is so beautiful. The nurse has already fed him, and the little boy may have eaten it."

Ji Wanran looked at her son in her arms and couldn't help but think of her eldest daughter who died young. She looked at the little girl beside her and finally couldn't help crying: "Husband, we finally have another child."

Xin He watched her mother cry, knowing that she must be thinking about her lost sister. Xin He was also very sad, but she couldn't tell her father and mother the truth now.

Xin He was afraid that her mother would continue to be sad, so she went up to her and asked her, "Mom, Liu Niang said that Nannan was born ugly just like her brother. Liu Niang must be wrong, right? Nannan is a fairy from heaven, she can't be that ugly, right?"

The little girl in Ji Wanran's arms seemed to understand that her sister once again disliked her and started to cry. Ji Wanran looked at her little girl with a smile and said, "Look, my brother is not happy about it. You can't say that my brother is ugly anymore."

Seeing that her mother was no longer sad, Xin He deliberately pouted and said, "Mom, don't you like Nannan anymore?" Ji Wanran quickly said, "Of course I do."

Xin He immediately made a face at her mother and smiled widely: "Nannan, you know that Daddy and Mommy will always love you, and will love this ugly little brother with you."

Ji Wanran and Qin Mingxuan smiled at each other, but the little guy in Ji Wanran's arms started crying again. Xinhe also laughed happily: "Mom, little brother heard Nannan say he was ugly again, you see he is crying again. Okay, okay, I won't say that to you anymore."

Xinhe's little brother finally got a name on his third birthday. Ji Wanran had always thought that she would have another daughter, as if to make up for the regret of the daughter who died young, and she thought of many names for her daughter.

As Xinhe said, they gave birth to a son. After a few days of discussion, the couple finally named their son Qin Xinnan, and his nickname was Nan'er.

Qin Mingxuan was blessed with a son, and the emperor's favor and position were increasing. Many ministers in the court wanted to find an opportunity to get closer to Qin Mingxuan.

Therefore, Qin Xinnan's hundred-day wedding banquet was held in a very grand manner, although Qin Mingxuan did not send out invitations widely with great fanfare, and only invited some of his close ministers, just wanting to have a good time together.

Who would have thought that on the day of the banquet, many ministers came uninvited and showed up. There was a constant stream of people and cars in front of the Qin Mansion, and it was very lively. Qin Mingxuan had no choice but to open the door to welcome the ministers and their wives.

Before the banquet started, the Empress and Consort Shu in the palace sent the chief palace maid Ziyuan to deliver gifts from the two ladies, which aroused the envy of everyone present.

What made everyone even more envious was that the emperor specially chose this day to add icing on the cake. He issued an imperial decree to promote Qin Mingxuan to the position of Prime Minister of the dynasty, and he sat in the position his father currently sat in, ranking above General Shen.

After hearing the imperial edict, everyone present congratulated Qin Mingxuan one after another, and they were amazed that this time, General Shen would never be able to turn over, and someone finally sat on General Shen's head. It was not known whether General Shen could swallow this anger.

Taiwei Shen has been staying at home recently and rarely participates in the exchanges between ministers. Taiwei Shen still did not come today, but Madam Shen came with a gift.

Madam Shen saw that everyone looked at her with inquiring eyes after learning the meaning of the imperial edict, and her face was very ugly. In the past, whenever Madam Shen attended a banquet, she would be surrounded by other ladies and flattered.

Today, Commandant Shen insisted that Madam Shen bring gifts to attend the wedding banquet at Qin Mingxuan's house. Madam Shen knew that the two families did not get along and was unwilling to come, but she could not persuade Commandant Shen, so she had to obey Commandant Shen's orders and come. She came to congratulate him on the surface, but in fact, Commandant Shen wanted Madam Shen to come and see the situation in the Qin Mansion and understand the direction of the court.

Sure enough, many ministers who had avoided Qin Mingxuan in the past came in person with their wives to congratulate him. The ladies surrounded Ji Wanran, who was holding the child, and either praised the little boy for his handsome appearance or admired how blessed Madam Qin was, as her husband and children were so successful.

Ji Wanran was not used to the flattery of the crowd, and her face was almost frozen from smiling. Nan'er, who was being held, seemed to dislike such a crowded occasion even more, and soon she started crying loudly. Ji Wanran had no choice but to let the nurse hold Nan'er back to the back hall. She was still entertaining the ladies in the front.

Mrs. Shen watched as her usual position was replaced by Ji Wanran, while she was left out in the cold. She was extremely angry, but she couldn't show it, and her face looked even uglier.

Xinhe also didn't like such occasions. She followed her mother, acting like a good girl. Wearing a pink dress, she looked like a cute and lovable little girl.

When the ladies saw Nan'er being taken away by the nurse, they surrounded Xinhe and praised her non-stop. Xinhe could only grin and show her best smile to the ladies.

Although Xinhe sounded very beautiful after receiving all kinds of compliments, she finally couldn't bear it anymore after being tortured by the ladies for a long time by having her face pinched and her head patted.

After finally waiting for Yu Shen and Uncle Yu to arrive, he ignored Uncle Yu and excitedly pulled Yu Shen to the back hall, showing off his little brother like a treasure.

Xinhe pulled Yu Shen all the way to the back hall where Nan'er was resting. After being brought back by the wet nurse, Nan'er had been fed. Now, she was lying contentedly on the crib, babbling to herself and amusing herself.

Xin He and Yu Shen lay on the edge of the crib together. Xin He pointed at Nan'er and said proudly to Yu Shen, "Brother Shen, look, this is Nan'er, my little brother. Nan'er was so ugly when he was born. But as his elder sister, I don't dislike him. Nan'er is still very competitive. You see, he is getting more and more handsome now. Doesn't he look like daddy?"

Yu Shen looked at Nan'er carefully. This little guy was also as good at eating as his sister. His little arms and legs were as white and tender as lotus root nodes. Seeing his sister and a little brother surrounding him, the little guy also stared at him with the same dark eyes as Xinhe. He looked at his sister for a while, then at Yu Shen, and kept babbling.

Yu Shen smiled: "He really looks like Master." Xinhe looks more like Ji Wanran, but this little brother looks more and more like Qin Mingxuan.

Yu Shen reached out and held Nan'er's chubby little hand: "Nan'er, I am your brother Shen. You have to grow up quickly. Brother Shen will take you to study and practice martial arts!"

Xin He was happy: "What? Brother Shen, Nan'er is still so young, and you arranged for him to study and practice martial arts. How hard it is!"

Xin He also held her little brother's other chubby hand: "Nan'er, don't listen to Brother Shen, he is the most conservative. Listen to your sister. When you grow up, your sister will take you to eat delicious food, and we will go to the palace to play with the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince. It will be fun."

It was obvious that little Nan'er liked his sister's advice more. He ignored Yu Shen, held Xinhe's hand and laughed so hard that his saliva was about to flow out.

Liu Niang and Nan'er's wet nurse stood by and couldn't help laughing when they saw the two siblings eating, drinking and having fun together as if they had the same interests.
