The Regent's Tender Darling

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, my daughter didn't cause any trouble to Your Majesty, right?" Lin Zhengyang held it in for a long time before uttering this sentence.

After Yan Nanchen excused himself to leave just now, the regent discussed state affairs with him and Lin Xingzhi for a long time, just like in the morning court.

Now Yan Sihan stopped talking and was just sipping tea carefully. The scene was very quiet.

So he had no choice but to ask this question.

"The princess is gentle and virtuous, and she will not cause any trouble to the king." Her tone was normal, cold and without warmth, as if she was going to get angry the next second.

Yan Sihan didn't even look at Lin Zhengyang when he spoke. Instead, he was speaking to Lin Xingzhi.

"That's good, that's good." Lin Zhengyang responded awkwardly, then raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat, and his heartbeat accelerated.

After saying this, the scene fell into dead silence again, while Yan Sihan and Lin Xingzhi were both calm. Only Lin Zhengyang was fidgeting there, as if there were nails on the chair.

After a while, a slave came forward cautiously, lowered his head and saluted respectfully: "Master, Madam has prepared the banquet."

Lin Zhengyang, who had always been frightened and uneasy, stood up immediately as if he had seen a life-saving straw, and said to Yan Nanchen with a smile: "Your Majesty, please come and have a meal."

However, Yan Sihan just put down the tea cup, and there was a slight sound between the porcelain, which was crisp and pleasant.

Yan Sihan glanced at Lin Zhengyang, and then said, "No need."

"Ye Ming, go find the princess and return to the house."

This surprised Lin Zhengyang. Why didn't the two sons-in-law stay for dinner? Could it be that he didn't provide good hospitality?

Still don't like him?

But when the regent wanted to leave, he naturally did not dare to stop him.

Seeing Yan Sihan getting up, he could only say respectfully: "Old minister, I would like to send you my prince."

Lin Xingzhi stood up and bowed his hands: "I respectfully see the prince off."

At this time, Lin Jiaojiao was still reminiscing with Aunt Wu in Lanting Courtyard.

But after a while Qingtao came in, knocked on the door, and said to the person inside: "Princess, the prince said it's time to go back to the house."

Lin Jiaojiao was a little surprised. It was just noon. Why don't you leave without eating?

Why is Yan Sihan so anxious?

She was really hungry now, but she had no choice but to look at Aunt Wu and said, "Auntie, Jiaojiao will come see you later."

Aunt Wu quickly stood up, bowed her head, lowered her eyebrows and said, "My dearest concubine, I will send you here."

After Lin Jiaojiao left, Aunt Wu's expression became melancholy, her eyebrows lowered and she nodded thinking about something.

Mother Jin also had a worried look on her face. She looked at Aunt Wu and said, "Auntie, don't be confused. Brother Zhou's future is important, and what the second lady said makes sense."

"Madam, how can I unseat you?" After Wu Lian said this, she glanced sideways at Jin's mother and warned: "Don't mention this matter again in the future."

After saying that, she was about to go into the house. Mother Jin had no choice but to close the courtyard door. Before the courtyard door was closed, she saw a little maid carrying a bag on her back to come in.

Mother Jin took a closer look. Isn’t this the daughter of Mother Cui in the kitchen? Why did someone come to their Lanting Courtyard for the first time?

Wu Lian hadn't entered the house yet, but when she saw someone coming, she quickly came over to greet them.

"It turns out to be Miss Xiaocui."

"This is the winter charcoal sent by our mother Cui on the order of the regent princess. If my aunt has any difficulties in the future, just send someone to tell her."

Xiaocui's tone was neither humble nor arrogant. After speaking, she put down the big cloth bag and opened it. It was indeed good coal.

Although it's not much, it can still burn for two or three days.

Xiaocui continued: "My aunt will use these first. This month's winter charcoal slaves will be delivered in batches in the evening. Then I will have to trouble my aunt to open the door."

Seeing that my aunt was stunned, Jin's mother quickly greeted her with a smile: "Thank you, Miss Xiaocui."

"Auntie, it's not appropriate for me to stay here for a long time. Please leave now." Xiao Cui said and submitted, and Jin's mother returned the gift.

At this time, Wu Lian looked at Dong Tan on the ground and didn't know what to do for a moment. These two girls were helping her so much, hoping that she would pull down the eldest lady.

But she... didn't want to take the risk. If she missed it, Brother Zhou's future would be ruined!
