The little dark guard who travels between two lives

Chapter 155: Tit-for-tat in front of the mansion

Yu Shen held the palace dress prepared by the Queen for Xinhe in both hands and followed Xinhe silently. He no longer mentioned the prince, but talked to Xinhe about some things about his father guarding the border.

Since Lord Yu went to the border last year, he has been busy with border defense. Under Lord Yu's governance, the northwest border has become increasingly prosperous. The nomadic peoples in the north have no longer acted in a way that would disobey Dayin's management.

"Uncle Yu is guarding the border, it's really hard work, Brother Shen must send capable secret guards to protect Uncle Yu. And also remind Uncle to take care of his health, the border is bitterly cold!"

As Xinhe walked, he reminded Xinhe that Yu Huaian in his previous life died young. Xinhe had no idea. There was only one incense stick left that the master gave her, and Xinhe didn't dare to use it easily.

Moreover, her rebirth seemed to have changed many things in her previous life, and Xin He felt increasingly uneasy. Su Peiyun's death, her sister's return home, Shen Tuo's failure to force the emperor to abdicate, and the fact that Prince Cheng had been quiet and had no abnormalities, all of which made Xin He feel uneasy.

Yu Shen nodded. "The Emperor and Master are also very concerned about Daddy. The Emperor has ordered the Dark Guard Battalion to send out the best Dark Guards to protect Daddy. Daddy wrote to me saying that as long as the Northwest is stable, Daddy will be at ease to return to the capital."

Since Yu Huaian left, although the Dark Guard Camp was handed over to the Emperor, the Emperor has also been gradually training Yu Shen over the years and often entrusted some matters of the Dark Guard Camp to Yu Shen.

Yu Shen looked at Xin He and said, "I sent Ming Mo to live with my father. Since I can't take care of my father myself, I'll let Ming Mo work harder for me."

Thinking of Ming Mo, Xinhe also smiled: "Then brother Mingmo must have been crying and shouting that he couldn't bear to leave you, brother Shen?" Mingmo has been with Yu Shen since he was a child. Now he has to leave Yu Shen all of a sudden to take care of Lord Yu. When he left, he cried so hard that he was miserable. He held Yu Shen's sleeves and was reluctant to let go.

In the end, the expressionless guard grabbed him by the collar and threw him into a carriage heading north. The carriage had gone a long way, but Yu Shen could still hear Ming Mo's crying.

In fact, Yu Shen was a little reluctant to part with Ming Mo. When he was a child, Lord Yu had a grudge against his son and was always afraid to get close to him. Old Madam Yu hated this grandson. Fortunately, the lonely Yu Shen had the company of Ming Mo, and later he had Xinhe as a little friend, so he spent a lot of childhood time with him.

Thinking of Ming Mo's ugly face crying, Yu Shen couldn't help but laugh.

Qingyan, who had just bought the most fashionable perfume from the perfume shop and was on her way home, had just walked to the gate of the mansion when she saw Yu Shen and Xinhe smiling face to face near the gate.

His sister was wearing a goose yellow dress. She looked up at Yu Shen in front of her with a faint smile.

And Lord Xiao Yu, who is now well-known in the court, also smiled at Xinhe when facing Yu Shen, who always had a cold face. His gentle smile deeply hurt Qingyan's eyes.

She smiled, but her eyes were cold: "Sister, why don't you invite Master Yu to come to the mansion and have a seat? There are so many people coming and going at the gate of the mansion. Isn't it inappropriate?"

Yu Shen and Xin He were startled by these cold words, and both turned to look at Xin He who was standing on the steps at the gate of the mansion. Yu Shen's smile immediately disappeared, and he looked cold again, lowered his head slightly and said hello: "Miss!" and never looked at Qing Yan again.

Yu Shen looked at Xin He again: "Sister Xin'er, please say hello to Master and Madam Shi for me. I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first." After saying that, Yu Shen handed the princess's palace dress in his hand to Nian Liu beside Xin He, then turned around and left.

Yu Shen ignored her like that and didn't even say hello to her before leaving. Qingyan was so angry at Yu Shen's attitude that she just stared at him. Just when she was feeling depressed, she saw the princess's palace dress in Nian Liu's hand.

After returning to the capital for so long, Qingyan has become very familiar with the costumes in the capital. She can tell at a glance that this set of palace dress is a fine product in the palace. The fabric can be said to be very expensive, not to mention the imperial needle and thread. Once this set of princess dress is worn on her body, Qingyan can imagine how eye-catching it will be.

Qingyan's eyes were red with jealousy, so she couldn't say anything nice: "Sister, what good things did you get from the palace again? Our Qin family doesn't lack food, clothing and daily expenses for your sister. If you always take things from the palace, wouldn't you become a poor beggar and damage the reputation of our father and mother?"

Xin He glanced at her and didn't want to pay attention to her. Nian Qiu beside her was so angry: "Miss, why are you talking like that? Our young lady came to the palace to ask the Queen for you, but you got the advantage and still mocked our young lady like this, it's really..."

"How dare you! When is it your turn as a lowly servant to speak when the masters are speaking? Aunt Lin, slap him in the face!" Qingyan was so angry with Yu Shen that she couldn't stand being accused by a little girl like that.

Mother Lin glanced at Xinhe, and just as she moved her feet, she heard a stern shout: "Let's see who dares!" Xinhe looked at Mother Lin coldly. Mother Lin raised one foot and then quietly took it back.

Seeing that none of the maids behind her dared to step forward, Qingyan was furious: "Sister, are you using your status as a princess to pressure me, your elder sister?"

"Yes, I am speaking in the capacity of a princess. Do you have any objection, sister?" Qingyan didn't expect Xinhe to respond to her words so lightly.

She was sure that Xinhe would not use her status as a princess to challenge her, because Xinhe would be afraid that she would go and complain to her mother. Xinhe had always been polite to her and never put on the airs of a princess.

But today, she actually showed off her power as a princess just for a little girl. This has never happened before. Qingyan was so angry that she pointed at Xinhe and said, "You...you..." But facing Xinhe who was showing off her status as a princess, Qingyan couldn't say a word.

Xin He ignored Qing Yan's accusation, lifted her skirt and walked up the steps, standing in front of Qing Yan, staring into her eyes: "The Queen has already agreed to my request, Sister can enter the palace to attend the palace banquet. Are you going to make a scene again at this time?"

This question left Qingyan speechless. She didn't dare to say anything else. She couldn't enter the palace and all her plans were in vain. How could she gain a position of superiority to suppress Xinhe?

She opened her mouth, but then closed it in frustration, not daring to look at Xinhe again. Xinhe glanced coldly at Mother Lin and walked into the mansion with Nianqiu.

Xin He went directly to Ji Wan Ran's room. Ji Wan Ran knew that her youngest daughter had gone to the palace to ask the Queen Mother for help, so she had been waiting for news at home. When she saw Xin He come in, she looked at her expectantly.

Xin He bowed to her mother, smiled and sat beside her, and told her the good news. Ji Wanran was naturally very happy when she heard it. She held her little daughter's hand and praised her daughter for being sensible.
