From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 194 Jade Faced Lord Xiao Qichen

At this time, most of the people have already fallen asleep, so don't take your time.What's more, Mei Xin is still pregnant, it takes more time to wash and change clothes than before.

Although women in the capital would never see outsiders late at night, Mei Xin was different after all, not to mention that it was the imperial guards who came.So, she took out a set of men's clothes from the cabinet and changed into them, and said while putting them on, "Second Master, please take them to the front hall to wait, and I will go there after changing."

It takes time to put on and take off women's clothes. The most important thing is that she is not good at wearing them and always wears them wrong.In addition, after wearing it, you have to comb your hair in a bun, and it is impossible not to wear something on the bun. It is really troublesome, and it is not as convenient as men's clothing.

"Yes, Major General, my subordinates obey!" Wang Geng turned around to take the order and left, Luo Qiu pushed the door open and walked in.

First, he helped Mei Xin put on the green robe, then tied up her hair, and then picked a piece of white jade hairpin to fix her hair, and passed it across.

Looking at the bronze mirror, there was nothing wrong, Luo Qiu suggested: "It's cold at night, let's wear a cloak."

If in the past Mei Xin would have refused without even thinking about it, it would be too much of a hindrance to wear the cloak to the ground.But now that she has a child, she has to pay attention to everything. If she catches a cold and cannot take medicine, she will suffer again.Standing up, Mei Xin said: "Well, take a dark one."

The maroon color can still be worn when wearing women's clothing, but now it is too eye-catching to wear when wearing a man's clothing.Moreover, it is a big night now, if there is an assassin wearing such a bright dress, she will definitely become a living target.

Knowing that the capital is cold, Yuan Muqiu specially prepared several cloaks for her, with different colors and lengths, and the fox fur cloak was especially warm.

Luo Qiu took a dark blue cloak, helped her put it on and said, "I'll get the hand stove..."

"No need, I really think that I am a weak and unruly young lady, and I still use a hand stove." Mei Xin pulled the cloak with a dumbfounded smile, and then said: "Let's go, let's go and meet the old lady who was all the rage back then." The handsome man, I guess he has become a handsome uncle now."

In her previous life, she was married to Prince Ping's mansion. As Princess Ping, Mei Xin knew Xiao Qichen, and also knew about his romantic affairs when he was young.Therefore, I know that he looks good, and he is known as the Jade Face Langjun in the capital.

Luo Qiu likes the majestic and majestic men in the Northwest, and is not interested in the handsome men in the capital, that is, the handsome men.Therefore, he went to the outside room, took a piece of thick clothes and put them on, then followed Mei Xin and left.

In the front yard, in the front hall, the servants have already served tea and snacks.Mei Zhongkai and Xiao Qichen sat face to face, and you chatted with each other very happily.

Xiao Qichen came from the Duke of Qing's mansion, and was the third child in his family. Because of his high martial arts skills, he was personally appointed by the emperor as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army.However, Duke Qing's mansion is not a family of generals, on the contrary, it is a noble family.Therefore, not only is he strong in martial arts, but he is also well-read in poetry and books. I think he was also a handsome and elegant talent who was famous far and wide.

Although Mei Zhongkai is young, he has studied hard for ten years, and he looks like Lin's more handsome, full of books.The two chatted very speculatively. Sitting face to face, one old and one young, was quite eye-catching.It's not like a host and a guest, nor like a friend, but a bit like a father and son.

"The Major General is here!" A shout interrupted the conversation between the two, Xiao Qichen and Mei Zhongkai stopped talking at the same time, and looked at the door together.

Mei Xin brought Luo Qiu and Yun Luo together, and her eyes lit up when she saw Xiao Qichen.In the previous life, he knew that he was good-looking, but he didn't know that this life was better than the previous one.

Nearly forty years old, with fair skin, perhaps because he felt that his appearance was not stable enough to convince the public, so he purposely grew a short beard.However, it is still hard to hide its natural beauty.

While Mei Xin was looking at Xiao Qichen, Xiao Qichen was also looking at her.I've seen her in the palace before, but I just glanced at her from a distance and didn't see her clearly.

There were rumors before that she was born with a strong back and a strong waist, and she was an ugly girl without salt, but now I saw that she was not ugly at all.

Not only is it not ugly, but it also inherited Mei Zhannan's big eyes, bright and clear like stars.

Perhaps it was because she was wearing men's clothing, so she didn't apply makeup on her face, and she didn't have all kinds of fragrances from her daughter's house.Very refreshing, very clean, very neat, and he also inexplicably fell in love with it.

I'm used to seeing colorful things, but suddenly seeing back to the basics, isn't it eye-catching.

Since Mei Xin has been named the eldest princess and enjoys the prince's salary, Xiao Qichen withdrew his scrutiny and got up to salute: "I see the eldest princess, please forgive me for visiting late at night!"

As the commander of the Imperial Forest Army with high martial arts skills, Xiao Qichen actually envied Mei Xin and respected her very much.Of course, it wasn't because she was named the eldest princess, but because of her illustrious military exploits that made him awe-inspiring.

He didn't become an official until he was 25 years old. He joined the Imperial Forest Army by relying on his ancestor Fengyin, and was appointed as the commander in chief by the emperor himself.But this is not what he wants, his dream is to become a great general.In the bloody battle field, relying on her true ability to become an official, just like Mei Xin now, she climbed to her current position step by step by relying on her own ability.

In fact, if the emperor hadn't deliberately suppressed it, and Mei Zhannan underreported his military achievements, Mei Xin would not only be a third-rank official, but a first-rank official.

Of course, this is a secret, and only he, the most trusted commander of the imperial forest army around the emperor, knows.

Heroes cherish heroes, and Mei Xin always likes loyal people. In addition, he also pleaded for the Mei family in his previous life. Mei Xin said very politely: "Excuse me, please sit down!"

While talking, she went directly to the main seat and sat down. Mei Xin glanced at the steaming tea and said lightly, "Ye Shenlu, the important commander has worked hard. I don't know what the big commander came here late at night."

There is a dark thread from the Mei family in the palace, if father has something to do, he will definitely send news.If you haven't received the news, then it's not your father's business.

Xiao Qichen didn't answer, but turned to look at Mei Zhongkai, Yunying and the others.Mei Xin understood that he had something to say to her alone, so she immediately waved her hand to signal them to go out.

Mei Zhongkai got up first, saluted and left very knowingly, and then Yunying, Luoqiu and others also left one after another.

After everyone left, the doors and windows of the front hall were closed tightly, Xiao Qichen looked at Mei Xin and said with a bit of gloom: "To tell you the truth, I have come here to pick up a few people from Prince Liang's Mansion according to the emperor's orders."

Thinking of the emperor's order, Xiao Qichen's face flashed with embarrassment, if possible, he really wanted to postpone this errand.Helpless, he didn't dare to disobey the emperor's order, and he had to come to Prince Liang's mansion.

Frowning slightly in surprise, Mei Xin thought she had heard wrong, and asked instead: "How many people to mention?"
