Daughter's favorite concubine: Don't come here, the black-bellied prince

Chapter 26
Xinmeng never expected that someone was actually peeping behind the flowers.Otherwise, she will take Jin Chuan back no matter what, so that if she is exposed, she will give and receive secretly, and it will be confirmed.

Seeing Xinmeng sullen, Xiao Lang couldn't bear it, took out something from his waist and handed it to her: "Don't be angry, my prince will exchange it with you."

At first, he just glanced at it casually, but when he saw it clearly, Xinmeng couldn't help but blinked hard. He couldn't believe that he was going to give her a short knife that was no more than half a foot long and the scabbard was studded with gems.

As the saying goes, a sword is for a hero, and pink is for a beautiful woman.

I'm afraid that only a willful person like him would give a sharp weapon to a lady in a boudoir.

If it was another woman, I am afraid that she would be shocked, disappointed and dissatisfied.

However, this dagger was exactly what she wanted.

She gritted her teeth lightly, hesitating.

To accept, or not to accept?

Take it, it doesn't fit her status.Don't accept it, she will regret it!
Xiao Lang saw her hesitation, took her hand, put on the dagger, and closed her hand considerately: "I think you have already accepted the prince."

There is no reason to force others to accept gifts, it is really overbearing!Xinmeng was cursing in her heart, but the hand holding the short knife slowly tightened.The palm of my hand hurt slightly from the gems inlaid on the scabbard, but my heart was full of joy.

However, the next moment, she handed the dagger back.

"Really not?" Xiao Lang was puzzled.He could see that she was very fond of her.

"Yes!" Xinmeng replied firmly, with anticipation in her eyes, "My daughter is here to attend the banquet, so it's inconvenient to take it with me, please help the eighth prince to keep it first, can I?"

"Of course." Xiao Lang took the dagger.

Xinmeng stared at him reluctantly as he put the dagger back on his waist, forgetting that this was the fact of exchanging tokens.

As for what kind of token it is, it is a matter of opinion.

Later, every time Xiao Lang described Jin Chuan as a token of love, he always succeeded in making Xinmeng jump to his feet, and he even ignored everyone's ladylike manners.

Seeing from a height that the people in the garden had already started to take their seats one after another, Xin Meng and Xiao Lang went down the mountain one after the other.

Xinmeng returned to the guests first, and while waiting for the servant girl to lead her into the table, she looked around, but Shen Yunluo was nowhere to be seen.She clicked, and hurriedly looked for the figure of the Seventh Prince.

Xiao Yi was the person with the highest status at the Flowing Water Banquet. He entered the table early in the morning and sat on the main seat.The seat to his left was vacant, and a young man in a blue brocade sat on his right.

Xinmeng recognized him at a glance——Meng Liangjuan, the eldest son of Meng Guogong's mansion.He has been Xiao Yi's companion since he was a child, and his martial arts are deeply taught by Duke Meng, and he is especially good at horse fighting. As soon as he shoots a spear, he regards him as the second, and no one dares to recognize him as the first.

It is precisely because of the above two reasons that Xiao Yi has always valued and trusted Meng Liangjuan very much.In the previous life, he was Xiao Yi's right-hand man.Half of the credit for Xiao Yi's success in usurping the throne should be attributed to him.

Thinking of this, Xinmeng couldn't help squinting her eyes.

If this person cannot be won over to be used by her, he must be eradicated!
At this moment, a maidservant in a pink skirt approached Xinmeng, bowed and saluted, and said respectfully: "Miss Shen, Second Miss Shen feels unwell and is taking a nap in the courtyard. She asked the servant to come and invite Miss Shen to come over."

Hearing that Shen Yunluo was unwell, Xinmeng frowned slightly, and subconsciously looked at the water-red figure not far away.

Could it be that the water banquet has not started yet, and she can't wait to attack Shen Yunluo?

"Hurry up and lead the way." Xin Meng urged the maid.

It's not that she protects her sister so much, but that Shen Yunluo is always a member of the general's mansion, and if she is to be bullied, she should be bullied by her own sister, and it's her turn to bully an outsider.

"Miss Shen, please come with your maid." The maidservant in a pink skirt led Xin Meng out of the garden, and walked along a corridor to the backyard.

Xin Meng asked suddenly: "I have been to the Prime Minister's Mansion several times, but I have never seen you. Who is your master?"

The servant girl replied as she walked: "The servant girl is not from the courtyard of the eldest lady, so Miss Shen has never seen the servant girl. The servant girl is from the courtyard of the fourth lady."

Xinmeng hummed lightly, and the appearance of the Fourth Miss Lin Fuer flashed in front of her eyes.She has a pointed chin, a small face, a thin body, and a timid temperament. She always acts according to Lin Xianer's face.

Not long after, the two entered a small courtyard.

Xinmeng stopped and looked around.Unlike Lin Xian'er's Yaqin Garden, where many exotic flowers and plants were planted, this yard is not many flowers and plants, but it is very quiet and tidy, and there is not even a single fallen leaf on the road leading to the main house.

"It fits Lin Fu'er's identity." Xinmeng thought, when she looked at the main room with the closed door, she guessed what kind of conspiracy was hidden there.

Not allowing her to think too much, the servant girl quickly opened the door and said respectfully: "Ms. Shen, please come in. Second Miss Shen is in the inner room of the room."

Knowing that there are tigers on the mountain, Xinmeng stepped over the threshold and walked into the room without any hesitation.Before she got used to the darkness in the room, she heard the sound of the door closing and locking behind her.

She yelled inwardly that it was not good, she knew she had been tricked.She miscalculated, thinking that Lin Xian'er was deliberately drawing her to see Shen Yunluo's ugly appearance, and she was not the real target.

Seeing through the crack of the door that the maid was holding a key in her hand and turned to leave, Xinmeng became anxious and said sharply: "Stop! Open the door now, and I can pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise, I will definitely I won't let you go!"

The servant girl stopped in her tracks, and said, "I'm sorry! The servant girl is acting according to the order of the master, please forgive me, Miss Shen!"

Seeing the servant girl walk away, Xinmeng was angry and annoyed.She pulled the door hard, but it couldn't be opened at all. She went to push the window and found that it was also locked.

Her eyes fell on the bead curtain used to separate the outer room from the inner room. To be on the safe side, she decided to take a look inside.

As soon as the bead curtain was opened, a strong fragrance rushed towards my face.Immediately I felt dizzy.

Oops, there is something wrong with this fragrance!Xin Meng quickly covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves, stood outside the curtain and took a look in, then quickly retreated to the door, took a few deep breaths of fresh air through the crack of the door, and felt her mind clearer.

Taking a quick glance just now, as expected, the inner room was empty, except for Shen Yunluo, and the copper censer on the table was burning with sandalwood.

Ordinary sandalwood has a refreshing effect, and it will never cause drowsiness.No need to think about it, but there must be something that shouldn't be added to the sandalwood lit in the inner room at this time.

There was the sound of footsteps, getting closer and closer, and the sound should be that a person was walking quickly.

Xinmeng's heart moved, and she quickly looked at the courtyard door through the crack of the door, and a purple figure appeared in her sight soon.

The person who came was the Seventh Prince Xiao Yi!

She turned pale with shock, and finally understood what Lin Xianer was planning.
