The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 270

Hearing what Xuemei said, Lin Jiaojiao knew what she was saying. It seemed that Li Maonian got along well with the members of the Wild Dog Gang.

"I'm tired today, you can handle the opening of the wine shop, I'll go and see tomorrow."

"Yes." Xuemei is also happy to have an errand, after all, it's an errand, and she can go to the teahouse to listen to a book when it's half done, and maybe she will be lucky enough to meet the little loach.

Although Xiao Nixiu was hanging out in Yujie, sometimes it was really difficult to find someone. After knowing each other for so many years, she didn't even know where Xiao Nixiu lived.

……

———Into the night.

The crescent moon had just climbed into the night sky when Xuemei braved the cold wind and came back at night.

Seeing Xiaoyun who came out to pour water, he couldn't help asking: "Sister Xuemei, why did you come back so late?"

"Going to work." Xuemei said perfunctorily.

In fact, she should have come back a long time ago, but she was too late to listen to the book, and she walked around Yujie today, but she didn't see Little Loach.

As soon as he heard that he was doing business, Xiao Yun naturally didn't ask any more questions, and said with a smile, "Come inside to warm yourself, it's freezing tonight."

At this time, all the maids were present in the dormitory, and Lin Jiaojiao read to these maids from a book bought outside on a whim.

And these girls sat on the embroidered stools one by one, listening very seriously.

"Your Majesty, the servant is back." Xuemei bowed to Lin Jiaojiao after entering the room, and then hurried to the stove.

Lin Jiaojiao just raised her eyes and said indifferently, "Go and sit on the stool yourself."

When she was young, she liked to play the game of playing storyteller and tea guest with Xuemei, and would often drag Yan Sihan to listen to books.

Probably because of this, Xuemei has liked listening to books since she was a child.

Xuemei moved an embroidered stool by herself and sat down. Seeing Xuemei's frozen red hands, Dongxue reached out to hold Xuemei's somewhat icy hands.

Then they shivered together, and the two girls rubbed their hands together, gradually warming up.

And Lin Jiaojiao was reading the picture book on it by herself, the kind who started to read it by herself, probably because Xuemei went to work earlier, and Yan Sihan was busy with business, so she became bored.

Only then did all the girls in the courtyard be called in.

None of the girls below dared to speak, for fear of disturbing the empress who was seriously reading the picture book.

This picture book was very thin, Lin Jiaojiao only noticed the girls below who were staring at her blankly after reading it.

Obviously, these girls were a little stunned, she asked suspiciously: "Didn't you understand?" She also thought the story was pretty good.

There was silence below, Xuemei was the first to react, and quickly cheered: "This story is good."

Then everyone followed suit, only Qingtao stared at the few people with a puzzled expression, obviously not hearing anything.

Xuemei took advantage of Lin Jiaojiao's eyes on Dongqing and whispered to Dong Xue next to her, "Just get used to it."

She is someone who has experienced it. As for why she likes to listen to books outside, it is also because listening to the mother's story is completely tantamount to not listening.

Although the storyteller outside talked about it several times, at least they didn't lose their voice after talking.

Dong Xue had an understanding expression on her face. In fact, it was nice to sit here with the concubine, it was warm, and there were cakes and tea that were impossible to eat normally.

Except that the "storyteller" was silent from time to time, they really seemed to go to a teahouse to listen to books for entertainment.

At this time, Lin Jiaojiao rubbed her forehead, she was a little tired at the moment, took a sip of the tea next to her, and said, "It's getting late, let's all go back and rest."

The girls quickly stood up, bowed down and said, "Yes."

After all the girls had left, Xuemei came over, hugged Lin Jiaojiao's legs habitually and began to rub, and then said: "Your Majesty, I heard something outside today."
