The little dark guard who travels between two lives

Chapter 64 Xinhe wants to be a female general

As soon as Xin He finished speaking, she heard a sneer: "Do you think it's so easy for your father to become a general? That requires great military exploits. Just because you are a fat girl, you want to be a general."

As soon as Xinhe heard it, she knew that the Third Prince was making fun of her again. She looked towards the door with dissatisfaction, only to see the Emperor leading the four princes in.

As soon as Xin He saw the emperor coming, she immediately said to the third prince in a haughty manner: "The emperor hasn't spoken yet, so it's your turn to speak. Humph!"

The Third Prince was so angry that he staggered. This little girl's words became more and more vicious, and she was specifically targeting him. He looked at the Crown Prince and the other princes.

The Crown Prince smiled and looked at Xin He without saying anything. He was obviously used to the verbal battles between the two. The Fourth Prince's eyes always lit up when he saw Xin He. When he saw that his third brother was defeated by Xin He, he showed an admiring look. The Second Prince always did not participate in any of their conversations. He lowered his head and followed the Emperor silently, like a small transparent person.

The Third Prince wanted to continue arguing with Xin He, but was stopped by a sharp look from his mother. He had no choice but to shut up, followed the Emperor into the house, and bowed to the Queen with the other princes.

The emperor smiled and sat beside the queen. He looked at the fat girl and said with a smile, "How come I heard someone wants to be a female general?" Xinhe immediately raised her chubby face to the emperor and said without any modesty, "Your Majesty, it's Xin'er! Xin'er will fight for you on the battlefield in the future to defend our country. Your Majesty, please remember to make Xin'er a general!"

Without waiting for the emperor to answer, the fourth prince immediately came up and took Xin He's hand and said, "Sister Xin'er, I heard from Brother Shen that Sister Xin'er is practicing martial arts, and she is doing very well! Sister Xin'er is so amazing, she will definitely become the first female general of our Great Yin Dynasty."

Xin He was very satisfied with the Fourth Prince's praise for her, and said to him proudly: "Yes, the Fourth Prince always has good taste!"

The Queen and Consort Shu couldn't stop laughing when they saw the two fat girls flattering each other. The Crown Prince also smiled and praised Xin He: "Xin Er sister is ambitious. I heard from Master Yu that Xin Er sister is very hardworking in training, much more attentively than studying."

Xin He looked at the Crown Prince with some dissatisfaction. The Crown Prince's praise was good, but it would have been better without the last sentence. The Emperor laughed even more after hearing this: "No wonder I heard your teacher complain that Miss Qin is sleeping more in class now. I guess it's because she's practicing martial arts too hard."

The third prince continued to make trouble: "Not only did she sleep too much, but she also got tanned. Now she's a fat, dark girl, and even uglier."

Xinhe was furious. She could admit it if someone said she slept in class, and she could also admit it if someone said she was dark. But she could not admit it if someone said she was ugly, and she could not tolerate it. She was a little fairy in the sky, and even if she got tanned, she would still be a beautiful little black fairy.

Xin He looked at the complacent Third Prince. She couldn't deal with him, but someone could. She rolled her eyes at the Third Prince, turned around and threw herself into the arms of Concubine Shu, and complained to Concubine Shu: "My lady, yesterday the teacher asked us to recite the book. The Fourth Prince and I, who are so stupid, both memorized the book, but the Third Prince didn't."

The Third Prince was so angry that he pointed at Xin He and said, "You, you said you would keep it a secret for me. I promised to treat you and my fourth brother to candied haws. You broke your promise!"

Xin He turned around and made a face at the Third Prince: "The Fourth Prince and I are not something that can be bought off with a piece of candied haws. I told the Queen that it was to urge the Third Prince to study hard. You keep saying that the Fourth Prince and I are stupid, but you can't learn worse than us!"

The third prince was so angry that he forgot to memorize the lesson yesterday, and the teacher came to check it. If his mother knew that he was the only one who failed to memorize it, she would definitely treat him to "Stir-fried Pork with Bamboo Shoots".

That's why he bribed the two little snitches not to complain, but as soon as they took his bribe, they turned around and sold themselves out before they could even wipe their mouths clean.

What's even more infuriating is that one complainant is complaining in front, and another is on the side to testify. The Fourth Prince immediately stood beside Xin He and told the Concubine Shu with certainty: "Concubine Shu, what Sister Xin Er said is absolutely right. Although we both ate the candied haws, we can't help the Third Brother deceive the Concubine."

Concubine Shu quickly praised the two little snitches: "Yes, you two did the right thing. The Queen will treat you to a delicious meal later." Then Concubine Shu turned to look at the Third Prince and said with a smile: "As for your third brother, the Queen will naturally supervise him well."

The Third Prince looked at his mother's fake smile and wailed, "No, mother, I know I was wrong. I will study hard."

Xinhe felt relieved when she saw the frightened look on the Third Prince's face. She glanced at the Third Prince with complacency and said, "Humph, I told you to say I'm ugly. The Concubine Shu is not an easy-going mother. This time she will definitely teach the Third Prince a lesson."

The Queen and the Emperor couldn't help laughing when they saw the two little snitches eating other people's food and then turning around to complain with determination.

The crown prince added fuel to the fire and said to the third prince with a smile: "Third brother, don't forget that you have to pay me back the money you used to buy the candied haws yesterday! Oh, I don't want the interest you mentioned, so as to avoid being punished by the emperor for lending money at high interest rates to my younger brother!"

Concubine Shu went up and twisted the Third Prince's ear: "Well, you've also learned to borrow money at high interest rates? You really deserve to be punished. If you don't punish me for three days, I'll tear down the roof."

The Third Prince quickly covered his ears: "It hurts, mother, please be gentle. What do you mean by three days without beating? You just beat me the day before yesterday." Concubine Shu had a good reason: "Then today happens to be the third day. You will wait for me when I go back today."

The Queen was used to seeing the situation between Concubine Shu and her son, and was not surprised. She just smiled and watched the Third Prince play tricks. The Emperor rarely saw Concubine Shu punish her own son, but today, when he saw the mother and son like this, he did not think that Concubine Shu was rude. He found it quite funny to see them quarreling.

No wonder the Queen likes to have Concubine Shu accompany her. With the two of them chatting and laughing every day, the Queen will definitely not feel lonely.

Compared to today when Concubine Shu got angry and punished her son, Concubine Shu usually looked very cold when she saw him, or it would be more accurate to say that Concubine Shu was too lazy to pay attention to him. Thinking of this, the emperor felt a little upset. An emperor who was disliked by his own concubine was not a good emperor!

Xin He, the complainer, made her complaint. Seeing the bullied look of the Third Prince, she felt very happy. She began to happily ask the Emperor for an official position. She showed the Emperor a smile that she thought was the most beautiful: "Your Majesty, if Xin Er makes military achievements for Your Majesty in the future, can Your Majesty make Xin Er a female general?"

The emperor looked at the fat girl and found that she had indeed become much tanned as the third prince had said. She smiled at him, revealing a row of small white teeth, which made her even more humorous.

The emperor didn't dare to laugh at her in front of Xinhe. He just thought that Xinhe followed Yu Huaian to learn martial arts just to avoid studying. Besides, Qin Mingxuan only had such a precious daughter. How could he bear to let his daughter go to the battlefield?

The emperor smiled and promised Xin He: "Okay, I promise you, as long as Xin Er can make military achievements in the future, I will make you the only female general in my dynasty."

Xin He happily stretched out her hand to the Emperor: "Your Majesty, you can't lie to me. Let's make a pinky promise. It's a deal." The Emperor smiled and shook hands with Xin He: "Okay, I promise, I will never lie to Xin Er."

The emperor just thought he was playing with a child that day. Later, when Xinhe stood in the court and asked for the title of female general based on her military achievements, the emperor had no choice but to overcome all objections and fulfill his promise that day amidst the opposition. It was a slap in the face that hurt so much!

The Queen watched the Emperor and Xin'er holding hands and making a promise, she just smiled and said nothing, she knew that the Emperor must be joking with Xin He. But the Queen knew that Xin He took it seriously.

Although this child usually smiles, once he makes up his mind, he is very firm. The queen believes that Xinhe will definitely learn something. The queen can only wait and see when the emperor will slap her in the face.

Xin He received the emperor's promise and was contentedly preparing to say goodbye to the emperor and the queen and go home. At this moment, a little palace maid came in to report that Concubine Shen had come to pay her respects to the queen.

Xinhe was wondering which one Concubine Shen was. She turned around and saw the Fourth Prince's awkward expression. She suddenly remembered that Concubine Shen was the arrogant Imperial Concubine Shen in the past. Now she was no longer Imperial Concubine, but Concubine Shen.

During this period of time, Xinhe has been busy studying and practicing martial arts, and she actually forgot such an important matter. Shenpin's house arrest should have ended. She was able to come to pay her respects to the queen so respectfully. It seems that she should have restrained her arrogant attitude this time.

The fourth prince saw that everyone was looking at him, and he was a little bit at a loss, and he began to stutter: "Actually, actually, mother has realized her mistakes. She keeps talking about paying respects to the emperor and empress every day. She will change her ways."

The Fourth Prince didn't know if it was right to say this, but he couldn't let everyone know that his mother had been behaving even more erratically and irritably since she was demoted and confined to her home. She had often cursed the people she hated with foul language in the palace. The Fourth Prince couldn't even cry when he saw his mother like this.

Why couldn't his mother be as gentle and kind as the Empress and Madam Qin? Even though the Concubine Shu was always very strict with the Third Prince and would punish him at any time, the love between them was deep and deep.

But his mother was never satisfied, as if everyone in the world owed him something. She was full of complaints about her son, complaining that he could not be as good as the crown prince in studying and martial arts. His mother always said that he had lost her face and did not bring honor to him or the Shen family.

The fourth prince did not dare to talk back at his mother's complaints, otherwise he would only get into a rage that he could not handle. But he felt that the villains his mother mentioned were all very good. Madam Qin, Lord Qin, Sister Xin'er, and the Queen were very tolerant of such an arrogant concubine as his mother. Why couldn't his mother see the good in others?

The fourth prince felt that he was the child of the Xiao family, the child of his father, so why should he fight for the Shen family? Moreover, he and the crown prince were brothers, so why should he fight with the crown prince? The fourth prince couldn't figure out what his mother was thinking.

In fact, he felt that it was good for his mother to be under house arrest. He felt much more relaxed after his mother was under house arrest. Now that his mother was released from house arrest, she seemed to have become a different person. She was respectful and polite in front of outsiders, and there was no trace of the arrogance of Concubine Shen in the past.

But behind the scenes, the mother was still the same mother, without any change at all, which even made the Fourth Prince feel very unfamiliar. He had an inexplicable worry, always fearing that the mother would cause some big trouble again.

Such a mother made the little fat boy very worried, but he couldn't tell anyone else about his worries. The Fourth Prince sincerely hoped that his mother could live in peace from now on and stop dreaming about things that did not belong to them.

Seeing the Fourth Prince's nervous look, the Queen waved to him to come over. She stroked his chubby face, looked at his worried look, and comforted him, "It's okay, Fourth Prince. As long as your mother changes her ways, the Emperor will forgive her. You don't have to worry. This is a matter for adults. Your father and mother will handle anything."

The fourth prince looked at the emperor, who had put away his smile and had a serious face, as if waiting for a promise from the emperor. The emperor looked at his son, whose little face resembled his mother's, and thought of how bright and lovely Concubine Shen was when she first entered the palace. He sighed and said, "Your mother is right. As long as your mother changes her ways, both father and mother will treat your mother well."

The fourth prince was almost crying, and choked up as he said, "Thank you, father and mother. Jingyu will also help mother to mend her ways."

The Queen signaled to the palace maid to call Concubine Shen in. The Crown Prince went over and pulled the Fourth Prince to his side, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, patted the fearful Fourth Prince's shoulder, and signaled him not to worry.

The Third Prince rarely refrained from making sarcastic remarks, and imitated the Crown Prince by patting the Fourth Prince on the shoulder to comfort him. The Second Prince still stood aside, as if it had nothing to do with him, without saying a word.

Xinhe looked at the Second Prince curiously. This prince always looked as if outsiders had nothing to do with him. But Xinhe thought of his mother, Concubine Xi, who seemed weak and innocent but whose eyes were full of shrewdness and calculation. She always felt that they might not be as they appeared to be.

Xin He was thinking when she saw the graceful figure of Concubine Shen walking in. Unlike the luxuriously dressed Concubine Shen in the past, Concubine Shen now had light makeup and wore a light blue palace dress. She only had two pearl hairpins in her hair and no other accessories. She looked elegant and calm, which made her face even more stunningly gorgeous.

No one in the harem could match Concubine Shen's beauty, otherwise, how could she be born into the Shen family? The emperor didn't want the Shen family to become powerful, but he still doted on Concubine Shen and let her give birth to a son, giving the Shen family more delusions.

Xin He looked at the beautiful Concubine Shen, then looked at the stunned emperor, and couldn't help rolling her eyes again. It was obvious that the emperor had never seen Concubine Shen dressed so elegantly, and today he was even more stunned when he saw Concubine Shen, who looked good with both heavy and light makeup.

Xin He secretly complained in her heart, wondering how the Emperor could be so deeply in love with the Empress while at the same time allowing the harem to be filled with beautiful women. Xin He really suspected that the Emperor she had seen in her previous life who expressed his deep affection before his death must be a fake.
