The Regent's Tender Darling

"I remember that when I was a child, I followed my father to the palace. At that time, grandma gave me a piece of pastry. Do you remember that?"

Lin Jiaojiao talked to Grandma Wang as if they were talking about family matters. If she asked Zhao Shuang'er to sit down now, it would mean that these people would not have to offer tea to her.

The maid serving tea almost brought the tea cup to Zhao Shuang'er, but Zhao Shuang'er was unmoved, and the other aunts did not dare to serve tea in front of Zhao Shuang'er.

Grandma Wang glanced at Zhao Shuang'er beside her, and was a little angry for a moment. This princess made it clear that she was not someone to be bullied, so she just had to test her out, and she was being serious.

You neither dare to sit down and accuse yourself of transgressing, nor do you take the initiative to offer tea, so who are you showing off to by just standing there?

"Princess has a good memory, but I don't remember it anymore."

After saying this, Grandma Wang took the tea cup that the maid had been holding, and brought it to Zhao Shuang'er: "Your Majesty, it's time to serve tea to the princess."

Zhao Shuang'er wanted to hold on for a while. Her status was much higher than that of Lin Jiaojiao, the daughter of a third-rank official. Plus, she was the niece of the Queen Mother, so Lin Jiaojiao had to know how to wink.

But she didn't expect that Aunt Wang would take the initiative to hand over the tea cup. She was now riding a tiger and was unable to get off. Serving the tea meant that she would be under Lin Jiaojiao from now on.

If you don't serve tea, I'm afraid it won't sound good if it gets out. If the prince comes to hold you accountable...

That's all, now the housekeeper's key to the palace's backyard is still in her hand. She has stayed in the palace for two years, so these people naturally know who to listen to.

So he reluctantly took the tea cup and walked slowly to Lin Jiaojiao.

This tea ceremony requires kneeling down. Lin Jiaojiao waited for Zhao Shuang'er's next move with a smile.

In the previous life, Zhao Shuang'er didn't serve her tea, and even brought these aunts to make a fuss in her yard.

Zhao Shuang'er looked at her with dissatisfaction, and finally knelt down, holding the tea cup with both hands and raising it within her reach.

"Princess, please have some tea."

Every word was squeezed out from between the teeth.

Serving tea is the concubine's duty. If Zhao Shuang'er behaved herself, she would never have trouble with such a trivial matter.

Perhaps out of shame and anger, Zhao Shuang'er did not dare to look at her, but lowered his eyebrows as if he had been humiliated.

After serving tea one by one, she had to give some rewards. She still had a lot of dowry when she entered the palace, and with Yan Sihan's betrothal gift, she would have enough to eat and wear in her ten lifetimes.

So the rewards are quite impressive.

A pair of fine jade bracelets, the quality of which is rarely seen among officials in the capital, was brought back from other countries by the Chen family's caravan.

After Zhao Shuang'er's maid took it for her, she glanced at it and frowned slightly. Sure enough, she was a merchant's daughter. She smelled like copper. She was rewarded with such a good bracelet.

Even in the Taiwei Mansion, only the old lady and her mother had one each.

"I remember that the princess's mother's family is from a scholarly family, so this move is indeed extraordinary."

Zhao Shuang'er's words made the other aunts cover their mouths with handkerchiefs and chuckle. Everyone knew that the Minister of Rites was a top scholar and his family was poor in the past.

But he happened to marry the daughter of a wealthy businessman.

The status of merchants was low, and Lin Jiaojiao's mother was the daughter of a merchant, so she naturally became a joke in the capital.

Lin Jiaojiao didn't care about this, but what about the merchant's daughter? Who can have trouble with money?

So he asked with a smile: "Does my sister like it? Before I had time to clean it up today, I brought some low-grade things for my sister to enjoy. When the maids clean them up, I will give my sister some good ones."

The valuable things in the eyes of these people are just small coins in her eyes, and she hated Yan Sihan because of her previous life.

In addition, Lin Zhengyang was greedy for money, so she only brought a small amount of dowry. At present, most of what she has is Yan Sihan's money.

After all, Yan Sihan was very careful about spending money on her.

In the previous life, he even got an iron-eating beast to make her happy.
