The Regent's Tender Darling

After leaving Daxiangguo Temple, it was pitch dark outside, and I could only see the road through the faint moonlight.

"Follow me." Little Loach said to Xuemei, and walked down the stone stairs at the door in a few steps.

Xuemei couldn't see the road clearly, so she took every step carefully for fear of stepping on something.

The wind outside was so strong that it made people's ears hurt. Xuemei didn't wear much thickness when she went out this time, just a thin jacket. She was so cold that her gums were chattering.

"Here, you put it on first, and then you take it off for me when we get there."

Faced with Little Loach's kindness, Xuemei quickly shook her head and subconsciously looked around. The shadow guard was following her.

Even if she couldn't see it, it didn't mean that she didn't have it. If the shadow guard said it out loud, she would not be able to live anymore.

"I'm not cold." After saying that, he strode forward.

"Hey!" Little Loach was startled and shouted in a low voice, "Isn't the Regent's Palace over there?"

He remembered that it was in the mansion area, but it was nowhere near the city gate.

Xuemei knew she was on the wrong track, so she quickly backed up.

There was a little loach leading the way, but no patrolling guards were encountered along the way.

Xuemei walked through the back door of the palace, glanced at Little Loach at the door, and said, "Wait for me here for a while, I have something for you."

"Ah?" Little Loach looked at Xuemei in confusion.

Xuemei took two steps and then turned around and said, "Don't leave, wait for me."

"Yeah." Little Loach nodded seriously.

When Xuemei returned to Shuanghua Residence, it was Qingtao who opened the door. Qingtao asked with a cold face: "Why are you back now?"

"Guan..." Xuemei suddenly fell silent, and then said perfunctorily: "I went out to do something."

After saying that, he went back to the house without looking back. After entering the house, he wanted to take out a new cotton-padded jacket, but he didn't want Qing Tao to see it. He took a look at the door and found Qing Tao entering the hall.

It seems that Qingtao is keeping vigil for the empress today.

So I quickly took my cotton-padded jacket and left Shuanghuaju.

Along the way, we met the guards who were patrolling the house at night, but these people didn't care when they saw that it was Xuemei.

When we arrived at the back door of the palace, the little loach was still waiting outside, but squatted in a corner, curled up into a ball.

She stood in front of Little Loach holding her new cotton-padded jacket and said, "Take off your dirty clothes and wear mine."

She put a lot of cotton into this new cotton-padded jacket, and it's still heavy when you hold it.

Seeing the little loach in a daze, she urged: "Can you hurry up?"

"Oh." Little Loach quickly took off his old cotton-padded jacket, and then put on the cotton-padded jacket given by Xuemei.

This new cotton-padded jacket felt different. The fabric was very soft. It was the first time in his life that he had worn such comfortable clothes.

Xuemei frowned and looked at it. It was a bit big, but not bad, so she said, "Go back quickly."

"Okay." Little Loach responded, then picked up the old cotton-padded jacket on the ground and put the old cotton-padded jacket outside.

The whole person looks bigger.

Xuemei was amused by the little loach's appearance. When she lowered her head to cover her mouth and smiled softly, the red bean hairpin on her bun was even more conspicuous.

When I returned to Shuanghuaju again, I found that the door of Shuanghuaju was closed again!

She remembered leaving the door open when she left.

After freezing outside for a long time, he still knocked on the door shamelessly. Now it was Qingtao who opened the door.

This time Qingtao didn't ask anything, and her cold and arrogant look made people angry.

But Xuemei couldn't say anything, so she thought for a while and asked, "Has your Majesty gone to bed?"

"I don't know." Qing Tao said indifferently.

Xuemei puffed up her cheeks and said angrily: "You are keeping vigil! Didn't you know?"

Qingtao didn't have any emotion, and just said lightly: "You should be keeping vigil today."
