From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 316 Stepmother is a fool

Mei Xin frowned slightly and wanted to scold people, but also felt that the emperor was really disgusting and depraved.Shangguan Xinrou had just left Prince Liang's mansion, and she hadn't seen the imperial decree of divorce, yet now she was going to give another marriage.

What do you want to do, take control of Prince Liang's Mansion and make everyone in the world think that their father and daughter are heartless, ungrateful, and cold-blooded?

The anger in his heart could not be expressed, the emperor raised his brows and asked with displeasure when he saw that she was silent for a long time, "Why, you don't want to?"

His expression was indescribably serious, and the coercion in his tone made Mei Xin very uncomfortable.

Looking straight up without any fear, Mei Xin replied without changing her face: "Since the father asked my daughter's opinion, then the daughter dared to speak up. Shangguan Xinrou violated the seven-out rule by stealing someone, and the father made an order Divorce is for the consideration of the father of the daughter, but if we marry now, how will people in the world talk about the father and how will they view this matter?"

"It was Shangguan Xinrou who made a mistake in divorcing his wife. If the royal father orders the marriage now, will people in the world think that this is a trick deliberately played by the royal father in order to divorce his wife and marry another?"

It's not like there are such things in the back houses of wealthy families, so what Mei Xin said was not polite.

Seeing that she was full of aura at such a young age, the emperor evaded the importance and said lightly: "So you don't object to your father Wang Xuxian, but you feel that the time is too close. Is that what you mean?"

With clear eyes and no hesitation, Mei Xin replied decisively: "Yes, the father has worked hard for his daughter all his life, and he has been a father and a mother for more than ten years. Right now he is seriously injured and needs someone to take care of him. There should be someone by his side on weekdays." Accompanied by people who know the cold and hot, even if it is to talk with him. The father said that he would find a gentle, virtuous and good character for the father, have you already taken a fancy to that girl?"

I don't know why the emperor would do this all of a sudden, Mei Xin was furious, and she clenched her hands tightly under her sleeves.Knowing that it is useless to refuse this matter, he simply asked who it was first, and then went to check her details.If it's a good one, then it's good, if it's a bad one, she has to think of a way.

Nodding his head, he ordered De Shun'er to bring the portrait to show to Mei Xin. The emperor said, "Cheng Enhou's granddaughter, Zixia, is only twenty and unmarried. She has a gentle temperament, is virtuous and virtuous, and if you marry her, you won't be afraid to treat you badly. And your big brother..."

Suddenly remembering that Mei Jinze was not young and not yet married, the emperor changed the subject and said: "There must have been no wars before the Tatar peace talks, and I am going to issue an order to call your elder brother back to Beijing for the New Year. Coincidentally, he is not young anymore." , it's time to start a family, and return to Beijing so that the major issues of life can be settled."

Speaking of which, the Mei family rarely gets together, even during Chinese New Year, not all of them get together.So, this can be regarded as a kind of favor.

The matter of father's reunion has not been finished yet, but the emperor has not thought that the emperor will hit his elder brother again.Mei Xin was very angry but she could only bear it, stood up and saluted and said, "Thank you for your understanding, my brother is indeed time to get married. It's just that the elder and younger are orderly, and my brother's marriage may have to wait for the mother and concubine to enter the door. "

Not long after returning to Beijing, she hasn't had time to go out to see the girls from different families. She doesn't know who has good character, and doesn't know who is suitable for her brother, so Mei Xin can only delay.

The son's marriage is naturally arranged by the mother, so the emperor said: "Naturally, this is Zixia's portrait. Take a look at it. If you think it is good, I will issue a decree to marry you when your father is better and can walk around in the ground." .”

Although it is a remarriage, it still needs to give face to Cheng Enhou's mansion. Besides, the daughter of his family was chosen for the sake of showing face.

Sit according to the words and take a closer look at the portrait. He has an average appearance, a slightly wider body, and a pair of almond eyes. He looks very blessed and is not annoying.

Growing up in the military camp since childhood, Mei Xin is not a person who judges people by their appearance, but she will never let this girl in if she only has the word Cheng Enhou.Cheng Enhou is the uncle of the country, the natal family of the former empress, he has no real power but is constantly favored.Back then, because of Mei Linlang's entry into the palace, Marquis Cheng En even ridiculed Prince Liang's mansion openly and secretly. It can be said that he is a despicable family.However, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the girl's head was burned out due to high fever when she was young.

Not completely a fool, but her mental insufficiency and reaction are much slower than ordinary people, and it is because of this reason that she is still unmarried at the age of twenty, and no one wants to marry.

Mei Xin gritted her teeth angrily at the thought of sending a mentally handicapped person to Prince Liang's Mansion to be her stepmother.She didn't know what the emperor was thinking, but he was undoubtedly insulting their Mei family and her father.

The Mei family has been loyal and good for generations, not to mention hard work and great achievements are also his classmates and friends, how could he be like this, how could he!

Clenching her fists furiously, Mei Xin forced a smile and said, "Thank you for saving my life, my father. I don't know how my father is doing now. It's good to cultivate in the palace, but it's too inconvenient to cause trouble for my father. Grandma I am very concerned at home, I wonder when my father will be able to move back home to recuperate?"

Before, I thought there was some affection between them, but now it seems that there is no such thing.Giving marriages to one's own courtiers and friends, but to a fool, this is simply a shameful shame and a deliberate disgusting person.

Wanting to find out what happened to Mei Zhannan, and also wanting to imprison him in a disguised form for the time being, the emperor said: "Your father is seriously injured and must be recuperated. Doctor Zhou said that it is not appropriate to move now, and we will talk about it in a few days." Go ahead. If the old lady is really worried and worried, when the weather clears and the snow melts that day, you can lead her into the palace to see your father."

As soon as he finished speaking, Deshun came in, and said: "My Majesty, Zhao Momo from the Palace of Compassionate Ning came and said that the Empress Dowager didn't eat or drink all day long."

His brows were furrowed and his heart was irritated. The emperor knew that the empress dowager was forcing him to go on a hunger strike. He waved his hand and said, "Order all the princes and princesses to go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to persuade the empress dowager. When the empress dowager eats, they will eat at that time. If the empress dowager doesn't eat, let them all starve."

Feeling chilled and hurt by the empress dowager, the emperor didn't care at all.I thought to myself, isn't she forcing her to die, so let's use the children to force her.Anyway, she has always cherished feathers, and she couldn't hold out for two days for the sake of fame.

De Shun'er felt that this move was quite ruthless, it was like stabbing the Empress Dowager's heart, and immediately said: "The servant obeys the order!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed and left.

Although Mei Xin never regarded herself as a princess, she was indeed named the eldest princess of Zhen Guo.Not sure that all the princess bags mentioned by the emperor did not include her, she got up and saluted: "Daughter..."

"You go to join in the fun with a big belly, let's go see your father." He waved his hand to signal her to step back, and the emperor got up and walked behind the screen.

Mei Xinba had no choice but to go, and hurried out without saying a word to thank her.
