The Regent's Tender Darling

"My slave, I pay my respects to the princess."

As soon as Xiaoyun saw Lin Jiaojiao, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and his body was shaking.

He must be afraid.

However, Lin Jiaojiao, who was sitting on the warm chair, yawned and stretched, feeling a little strange that this girl was so afraid of her.

Could it be that she thought she came here to ask for guilt?

After all, Xiaoyun is the person close to Zhao Shuang'er, and Yilanyuan and Shuanghuaju are at odds with each other.

"Get up." She said.

"Yes..." The weak voice was trembling.

Xiaoyun stood up from the ground and buried his head so low that his face was almost close to his chest, making his face unclear.

"You raise your head."

Xiaoyun followed her instructions and slowly raised his head, but his eyes were still evasive, for fear of meeting her gaze.

This little face looks quite fair at first glance, but it is a little red, like a scab after being injured by the wind.

She was dressed in the attire of a low-class maid. The gray linen clothes had already grown a layer of hair and were very thin, not enough to withstand the cold winter.

The sleeves were a little dark, as if they were soaked, and even the hands were red.

She leaned forward and grabbed Xiaoyun's sleeves. Xiaoyun was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and almost took her off the heating chair!

"Empress!" Xuemei quickly went to help her and glanced at Xiaoyun angrily. Seeing Xiaoyun burying her head on the ground again, her temper was gone for a while.

At the same time, I was also surprised, how could there be a girl who was so afraid of people?

Lin Jiaojiao patted her chest after sitting firmly. She was also frightened just now.

She just touched it and found that Xiaoyun's sleeves were soaked through. She hurriedly said to Xuemei: "Take Xiaoyun down and change into clean and warm clothes before talking to this princess."

"Yes." Xuemei said and stretched out her hand to subdue Xiaoyun. Water could be squeezed out by squeezing her sleeves.

I felt inexplicably sad for a moment.

How cold it is in this winter.

…

Not long after, Xuemei came in with Xiaoyun who had changed into clothes. The clothes probably belonged to Xuemei.

The two are the same size, but they look roomy when worn on Xiaoyun.

Xuemei looked unbearable at this time. She walked up to her and said, "Mother, her body is covered with bruises and she is so thin that she has no flesh at all."

Hearing what Xuemei said, she was not surprised. In her previous life, she had been to Zhao Shuang'er's Yilan Courtyard. All the girls were dressed brightly, except for a little girl in gray linen clothes who was being punched and kicked by others.

It must be Xiaoyun.

"Bring an embroidery stool quickly." She glanced at Xuemei.

Xuemei quickly took the embroidery stool and placed it behind Xiaoyun.

"Sit down," she said.

After Xiaoyun sat down carefully, she said to Xuemei: "Go out first and help me keep an eye on people, but don't let anyone come in."

"Yes, I promise not to let anyone in."

After Xuemei left, Xiaoyun became even more uneasy. He clasped his hands tightly together and looked at his own hands with a low eyebrow and a nod.

Lin Jiaojiao didn't intend to tell this girl the truth, so as not to make people panic.

She saved Li Maonian's sister, so she must be qualified to negotiate terms with Li Maonian.

Thinking of this, she smiled and said: "Xiaoyun, do you know why this princess brought you here?"

Xiaoyun shook his head, raised his eyes slightly to glance at her, then quickly looked away and replied: "Princess, I don't know."

"I don't want anyone to be bullied. You will work in Shuanghua Juli from now on. I will give you the status of a second-class maid."

This second-class maid can come to serve the master.

Currently, there is only one second-class maid in Shuanghua Residence, Dong Xue.

Xiaoyun's expression paused, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment. She didn't want to be in Yilan Courtyard anymore, but she didn't know about the relationship between the princess and the concubine.

I'm afraid the princess is not so kind.

Seeing what this girl was thinking, Lin Jiaojiao said lazily: "Don't worry, I have nothing to ask you, the princess. What can you, a handyman who can't enter the house, know?"

She did have ulterior motives, but they were not related to Zhao Shuang'er.

Hearing this, Xiaoyun thought that it was ridiculous for the princess to save her just to make excuses for a maid like her who would never be able to enter her master's house.

But, I still felt uneasy.

Thinking of this, she knelt down to express her gratitude: "My slave, thank you, Princess, for your grace."
