The exquisite space of the ruffian concubine

Chapter 123 "Little Hoof"

As soon as Meng Xiaosuo went out, she met Li San who was in a hurry.

"Miss Meng, I heard that the wine caused you trouble?" He asked.

I didn't expect him to be so loyal, and came here to ask himself about this matter.Meng Xiaocom shook his head, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, there was a misunderstanding, and it's settled."

"That's good, that's good..." Li San breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's good that it's okay, I'm afraid that those gossip palace ladies will secretly arrange you behind."

As he spoke, he hid his hands back, only then did Meng Xiaosuo notice that he was holding something in his hand.

"What's that?" She raised her eyebrows, turned around and came behind Li San, and clasped his hand.

In Li San's hand is a jade pendant the size of a longan, in the shape of a pot, tied with a red string, it looks very unique.Although the quality of the jade is not first-class, it is definitely of the best quality. When viewed against the sun, it is very translucent, like a pool of green water.

Ordinary jade pendants are oblate and spherical, but they are not called jade pendants, but jade beads. They are usually hung on money bags and sachets for decoration.Meng Xiaosuo has seen many of these, but she has never seen this pot-shaped one.

She held it in her hand and looked carefully, and saw that there seemed to be a word engraved on the pendant, which was actually a small word "wine".

"This is... a jug?" She was really surprised.

"That's right... we just asked someone to bring it from outside the palace." Li San scratched his head embarrassingly, "Aren't you going to marry the third prince in a few days? In the palace, there are fewer opportunities to meet each other. A few of us want to give something as a gift, but we don’t know what to give. I heard that there is a jade workshop that can order jade pendants, so I chipped in and bought such a wine gourd. I'll send it to you in a few days, who knows..."

"How could you know that as soon as I got it, I heard that someone made things difficult for me, so I hurried over and forgot to hide this jade pendant?" Meng Xiaosuo asked with a smile.

Li San nodded, looking a little embarrassed: "It's not something expensive..."

"To me, it's already very precious." Meng Xiaocom hung the pendant around her neck and stroked it lightly, "I haven't received a gift for a long time, thank you all."

At the beginning, Li San was afraid that she would be a concubine soon, so he looked down on these gadgets. Seeing that she liked them very much, he let go of his heart: "What kind of pearl hairpins and sachets did they want to buy?" , Facial powder, I said I’ve never seen you use these, it’s better to buy a pendant, they still don’t believe it.”

"It's a pity that I don't drink alcohol, otherwise I will definitely have a drink with everyone...By the way, have you met the third prince these days?" Meng Xiaocoma asked.

"I haven't seen it, the third prince hasn't come to the palace for several days." Li San said, he smiled, and his expression became cunning, "Why, the imperial concubine misses the prince?"

Meng Xiaocom showed disdain, curled her lips and said, "I'm just looking for him for something."

"That's okay, I want brothers to send someone to the Three Emperors' Mansion." Li San said.

Meng Xiaocom nodded: "Then I will trouble you."

Li San was quick to do things, but within two cups of tea, Yin Yichan came.

Meng Xiaosuo didn't know that he came so fast, she heard the laughter of the court lady outside the door, she looked out of the window, and saw him.

Yin Yichan is wearing a light blue long gown today, the clothes are brand new, the fabric is as smooth as water, and the price is high at first glance, but it is a pity that it is a waste to wear it on him.Not only are the shoulders one high and the other low, but the belt is tied crookedly and the hem is not smoothed out, which looks ridiculous.

Yin Yichan's "stupid" is "stupid", but he is still very polite, although Meng Xiaosuo asked him to come, but he went to Concubine Lan Gui as soon as he came, and he should have gone to pay her respects.

Meng Xiaosuo was not in a hurry, she was sitting in the room drinking tea leisurely, and after a while, the door rang.

"Come in," she said.

In addition to Yin Yichan, there were also Grandma Sun who came. The former sat at the table and poured himself a cup of tea with a smile, while the latter stood not far away and glanced at Meng Xiaosuo coldly.

"It's getting cold, I don't have enough quilts here, go and get two more beds." Meng Xiaosuo said to her.

Grandma Sun responded, but did not leave. Instead, she called out and called Qiu Lian to get the bedding.

"I'm a little hungry, go to the imperial dining room and get some snacks." Meng Xiaosuo said again.

Grandma Sun seemed to have expected her to be like this a long time ago, a sneer flashed across her old face, she snorted, walked out of the room in three steps at a time, and stopped Qiu Lian who hadn't gone far: "You took it!" After the quilt, ask the imperial dining room to make some pastries."

"Yes." Qiulian replied.

Meng Qianxin, Meng Qianxin, aren't you very capable of tossing around?Now, look at your little hoof, what else can you think of!

Grandma Sun turned around triumphantly, and the door suddenly slammed shut from the inside, barely touching her nose.

The person who closed the door was naturally Meng Xiaosuo, she had something serious to ask Yin Yichan, how could she allow Grandma Sun to mess around here.

"Open the door!" Grandma Sun yelled angrily, and slammed the door loudly, attracting many people in the blink of an eye.

"There's not much time, let's make a long story short." Meng Xiaoshu ignored the commotion outside, and asked Yin Yichan in a low voice, "Tell me, those few people we met in the inn on the day the convoy to pick up the medical girl was robbed, Who is it?"

"The reason why you ask this is because you already know their identities. Now that you know, why do you still ask me?"

"Then why didn't you remind me then?" Meng Xiaosuo said with staring eyes.

"What's the use of reminding, don't you want to kill him single-handedly?" Yin Yichan asked.

"At that time, you and I were both in the inn, so why not kill him together?" Meng Xiaocom asked rhetorically.

Yin Yichan frowned, as if he was thinking about a difficult question to answer: "If you recognized him at that time and wanted to kill him for revenge, I would not stop it, nor would I help you."

"What a kind-hearted Yun Feitian!" Meng Xiaosu sneered coldly, "Killing corrupt officials and exterminating bandits without blinking an eye, but he is so kind to his brother who is full of evil."

Yin Yichan looked at her indifferently, his expression was always calm: "I have indeed killed people, but I have never killed my relatives."

"Could it be that the lives of your royal family members are more valuable than those of others? Nowadays, corrupt officials are rampant everywhere, and the people are struggling to survive. It is precisely because you royal family members are so weak that they are weak, and those who are vicious are too vicious!" Meng Xiaocoma asked through gritted teeth.

"I'm not from this world, let alone from the royal family." Yin Yichan shook his head and smiled wryly, "Even so, knowing that Yin Tianqi deserves to die, I can't do it. It's as if I fell into Linglong Pendant's trap with just one move. Flesh and blood Mutual killing, there is nothing more vicious in this world. If I do something evil, it happens to be in line with Linglongzhuo's wishes. If I had helped you without hesitation at that time, I'm afraid the consequences would be worse than not helping."

Seeing the struggle on Yin Yichan's face, Meng Xiaosuo was speechless for a while.

She wanted revenge wholeheartedly, why had she ever put herself in Yin Yichan's shoes?Since ordinary people know that the root of the people's hardship lies in the emperor, how could Yin Yichan not think of it?

But why didn't he start to solve it, instead, he gave up everything, sneaked out of the palace from time to time, robbed the rich and helped the poor, and dealt with corrupt officials and bandits?
"I understand." Meng Xiaosuo sighed, and said mockingly, "Actually, I am the same as you. Not long ago, I clearly had the opportunity to kill Emperor Yin, change the owner of the country, and avenge my family, but I still couldn't do it." .Isn’t it because you can’t pass your own test? Emperor Yin is my enemy, and I have a lot of worries, not to mention that Yin Tianqi is your close relative.”

Before the words were finished, the door was knocked open with a "bang", and many people were already surrounded outside.

"How dare you act wild in front of me, you little hoof!" Grandma Sun was furious, pointing at the tip of Meng Xiaosuo's nose and yelling.

She is quite restrained at ordinary times, only when she is beside Concubine Lan Gui, she dares to speak sarcasticly to Meng Xiaosuo.Today, I was really dizzy with anger, and actually called Meng Xiaosuo a "little hoof" in front of so many court ladies and eunuchs behind her.

"I should tell you this." Meng Xiaosu stood up and walked straight in front of her, "You are just a servant, and you dare to be so arrogant to me. Hasn't your master taught you the importance of dignity?" Any other reason?"

"You!" Mrs. Sun was so scolded that her teeth were almost gnashed, "This old slave was ordered by Concubine Lan Gui to teach you etiquette! You first change your scumbag, learn the three obediences and four virtues, and then teach the old man a lesson. Slave!"

"Three obediences and four virtues? The three obediences are nothing more than obeying the father before marriage, obeying the husband when married, and obeying the son after the husband dies. Now I have neither father, nor husband, nor son. Where did the three obediences come from?" Meng Xiaoshu said loudly.

Grandma Sun couldn't find anything wrong with her words, but she was unwilling to admit defeat: "What about the 'four virtues'?"

"The four virtues are women's virtue, women's speech, women's appearance, and women's merit. If I lack moral character, why would the emperor marry me to the third prince? As for words and appearance, if I have something wrong, you must have already told the noble concubine , will never be delayed until now. Finally, it is women's work. Women's work refers to the way of managing a family. I have not yet married, so where do you know that I am incapable of running a family?" Meng Xiaosuo asked coldly.

Grandma Sun's face turned red and white, and she was speechless.

To say that Meng Xiaosuo's behavior is bad is to question the emperor's vision, even if Mrs. Sun has a hundred guts, she dare not question the emperor.

"Also, what did you call me just now?" Meng Xiaoshu frowned, patted his forehead and said, "Oh, by the way, call me 'little hoof'. What does 'little hoof' mean, can you please?" Tell me about it?"

"This..." Grandma Sun couldn't help crying, the anger and aggrieved expression on her face turned into a spring breeze in the blink of an eye, "Oh, Miss Meng, this old slave is just joking with you!"

"Are you kidding?" Meng Xiaosuo raised his eyebrows, and his voice froze, "I don't think you're joking! Someone, give me the mouth of this evil slave!"

Ladies and eunuchs, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to step forward.After all, this grandma belongs to Concubine Lan Gui, who will teach her a lesson, how will she live in the palace in the future?
