The Regent's Tender Darling

A swipe!

Qingtao landed next to Xuemei in response. If it hadn't been for the slightly raised corner of his green clothes that had just fallen, people would have thought that Qingtao had been standing here.

"Ah!" Xuemei approached her as if she had seen a ghost, "Where did you come from?" As she spoke, she stared at Qingtao with a surprised look on her face.

However, Qingtao ignored her and just saluted Lin Jiaojiao: "Princess."

"Um."

Lin Jiaojiao nodded slightly. She had no intention of being on guard against Qing Tao, so she just listened. After hearing what she did, Yan Sihan would surely understand what she meant.

Without staying much, she led people to Aunt Wu's Lanting Courtyard. Now that her second brother was still in Lushan Academy, Aunt Wu's life must have been difficult.

One of Shen's favorite tricks is to deduct money from various courtyards. It is cold in winter now, and it will be difficult if there is no charcoal fire in the house.

As I walked, I bumped into the third and fifth sisters coming towards me by the dry lotus pond.

When the two of them saw her, their smiling faces suddenly turned away and turned into panicked expressions: "Second sister..."

The two people who were saluting had a look on their faces, and quickly changed their words: "My lord, please send your regards to the princess."

Are you afraid of her?

He reached out to help the two of them up, and asked in a warm voice: "It's cold outside now, why did you come out?"

Lin Qingyue lowered her eyebrows slightly and replied cautiously: "As for the princess, my aunt asked us to get charcoal."

While speaking, he carefully protected Lin Qingxue behind him.

Lin Jiaojiao pretended not to notice, and said with a slightly straight face: "Why don't you call me second sister? Is it possible that since I got married, you don't recognize me as second sister?"

"No." Lin Qingyue shook her head quickly, with an uneasy look on her face, and then explained to her: "The second sister is now the princess, and the fifth sister and I both respect the second sister."

Lin Qingxue, who was half-hiding, also nodded, her eyes timid.

Alas, there is really no way. Maybe it's because she didn't pay much attention to these two sisters at home before, or maybe it's because of her behavior in Shoukang Hall just now.

That's why these two girls were afraid of her.

"Yue Yatou, you are also thirteen this year, right?" She asked with a smile, trying to find a topic to make these two girls have a different view of her.

Lin Qingyue nodded in response, but at the same time it was a little strange. She celebrated her birthday the day before her second sister got married, and Miss Xuemei also gave her a golden hairpin.

She also asked her aunt to keep it and did not dare to wear it to show off.

Lin Jiaojiao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "She looks like a big girl."

At this time, Lin Qingxue stared at her big eyes, tilted her head and said to her: "Second sister, Xue'er will be ten years old tomorrow."

"Really?" She responded with a smile. It seemed that she remembered wrongly and thought that this girl was already ten years old.

So he took off a white magnolia hairpin from his head, handed it to Lin Qingxue, and said, "Second sister has a few things to take with her when she goes out today, so I'll keep them first. It's also my consideration."

This white jade hairpin is the finest mutton-fat white jade, and one piece alone is worth hundreds of taels of silver.

Lin Qingxue didn't know, but Lin Qingyue had seen some things in the world, and she immediately sighed at the generosity of these two sisters, who never hesitated to reward them.

Although he had a good impression, he didn't dare to go beyond the rules. After Lin Qingxue accepted it blankly, he quickly motioned to her to thank her second sister.

"Okay, Second Sister won't delay you to get the charcoal fire."

The materials these two girls wear are not good either. The only good thing is that they are made of cotton, which can keep them warm.

As a young lady from the Lin Mansion, she didn't even have a maid by her side. She never thought that Mrs. Shen had become so mean.

Now that Mrs. Shen of the Lin Mansion is in control, these two girls must not be able to get the charcoal fire, so she said to Xuemei: "Send the third young lady and the fifth young lady to get the charcoal fire, and take good care of Mother Cui."

If she doesn't take care of it, if she leaves the Lin Mansion, Cui's mother will go to the Shen family to complain.

Xuemei was stunned after hearing this, but then she thought about it and it was not such a tiring job. Now she could feel proud in front of Cui's mother.

He bowed his head and said, "Yes, empress."

Then, Lin Jiaojiao told her two younger sisters: "Eldest brother is always in the house. You two walk around frequently when you have nothing to do, so that eldest brother can teach you calligraphy."

Although the Lin Mansion is a scholarly family, these concubines have not yet gone to school because of the Shen family.

Only the aunts can teach me the rules and so on.

Lin Qingyue became happy after hearing this, and seemed to be enlightened: "Last month, eldest brother asked us to go to Shi'an Academy to practice calligraphy. As soon as eldest brother is free, he will ask Mother Liu to come and ask us to go. "

"Every time the fourth sister refuses to go, she blames us afterwards." Lin Qingxue murmured in a delicate voice, looking quite cute.
