From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 349

Mei Xin looked out through the curtain on the carriage, and saw that all the civil and military officials were here, she looked at Zongzheng Mingzhen and said, "There will be a lot of people, and when the palace gate opens, you can go in first, the emperor ordered me to be here." It's really inconvenient for me to enter the palace with you, I'm sorry!"

Because of the rivalry between the crown prince and Prince Ping in the court, she is now a thorn in the emperor's side, a thorn in the flesh, and it is really inappropriate to have too much contact with him on the surface.Of course, I don't want to attract unnecessary gossip because of a hitchhiking, after all, he is not married yet.

"I should say thank you. You get out of the car later, and I'll let them carry the warm sedan over." After speaking, he left quickly without waiting for Mei Xin to agree.

Mei Xin smiled in her heart, and suddenly found that he was actually very careful and considerate.The most important thing is that he is very gentle, sitting together and chatting will not be awkward, and he does not feel strange at all, but gives people a very comfortable feeling.

As Zongzheng Mingzhen left, Cattail put down the needle and thread in her hand, and quickly packed the food box, she said cautiously: "It's time to take the medicine, the princess should drink the medicine."

A bowl of medicine was brought out from another small box containing charcoal fire, and Cattail brought out candied fruit.

There was still a tough battle to be fought, so Mei Xin drank the medicine in the bowl without hesitation.She didn't take the candied fruit, so she took another anti-fetal medicine and said, "There are many rules in the palace, so you don't have to follow in. It's cold outside, so you can wait in the carriage."

Although she was named the eldest princess, there were also countless maidservants brought into the palace.In addition, Cattail had never been in the palace before, so she was afraid that she would be cautious.So, it's better to stay outside, so as not to bump into someone again, it would be bad.

Cattail has learned the rules from Nanny Song, and she has also heard that there are many nobles in the palace.Not only can't walk around, but also can't look around. If you bump into a nobleman, you will be hit by the board at least or you will die.Therefore, she couldn't wish for it: "Yes, the servant gave the hand warmer to Sister Yunluo, and asked her to put some pastries on her body."

The palace is not like the palace, and it is not like being in your own home. If you are hungry, there is no reward and you can't find anything to eat, and you can't eat indiscriminately.Therefore, she knew that Nanny Sun specially made some fingernail-sized pastries.It is easy to take and eat, and it is also convenient, and it is not easy to be seen.

Feeling that the hand warmer was in the way, Mei Xin directly refused and said, "No need, I'm not cold, Yun Luo will bring the pastry, you don't have to worry about it."

After finishing speaking, Mei Xin heard the sound of the palace door being opened, and after a while, the bustling crowd dispersed and all went in.

Putting down the raised curtain of the carriage, Mei Xin stood up and said, "Okay, I'm leaving, you stay in the carriage and don't get off."

It was cold outside, Mei Xin put on her cloak again and got out of the car.

Yun Luo and Fei Chen were already waiting in front of the carriage, seeing Mei Xin coming out, he reached out to support her and said, "Slow down!"

Mei Xin felt that the people around her were too nervous since she was pregnant, so she smiled slightly and said, "I'm just pregnant and not amputated, so don't be so careful. Besides, I haven't even shown my pregnancy yet, so people will see it as a joke. "

Unconcerned, Yun Luo still supported her arm and said: "What's the joke? Those ladies and Miss Qianjin were not supported by maidservants when they got off the carriage. Besides, the road is slippery in snowy weather, so it's better to be careful. Once you fall, it’s a big deal.”

At this time, a Imperial Guard came over and saluted Mei Xin: "See Eldest Princess, Eldest Princess, Wanfu!"

Hearing the sound, she raised her head and stood firm, Mei Xin pulled back the arm supported by Yun Luo and said lightly, "Excuse me!"

"Thank you, Eldest Princess!" Standing up and stepping aside, he said again: "The warm sedan is ready, please, Eldest Princess, get on the sedan chair."

The inside of the palace is no different than the outside, with strict rules and regulations. If no one gives you a sedan chair, no matter how high an official you are, you have to walk in.Therefore, Zongzheng Mingzhen was acting for his own benefit.

Unexpectedly, Zongzheng Mingzhen could do things so quickly, Mei Xin nodded without saying a word, and followed him into the warm sedan chair.

Perhaps it was because Mei Xin was pregnant, and the eunuchs who were carrying the sedan chair were not fast enough, but by the time they arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the morning court had already begun.

Mei Xin was not in a hurry to go in, after meeting the two young eunuchs guarding the door, she went to sit in the tea room next door.

The emperor's face in the Hall of Supreme Harmony was very bad, and he didn't know whether it was because he didn't sleep well or because he had something on his mind. He pulled his face from the moment he entered the door, as if someone owed him 800 million taels of silver.

De Shun'er stood aside instead of his master Qian Gonggong, and the emperor didn't respond when he heard that Mr. Zhang had finished playing, as if he didn't hear it at all. He whispered: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Hearing the sound, the emperor turned his head back to his senses, followed Deshun's outstretched fingers to look down, coughed twice and said, "Zuza!"

He glanced at the civil and military officials standing below, and found that Yu Hou standing in front had a white cloth wrapped around his neck, and kept his head down. The emperor asked, "What's wrong with Yu Hou's neck, is it injured?"

Fearing that the emperor would not see it, Yu Hou got some blood on the white cloth wrapped around his neck.It was bandaged several times, and the blood was deliberately brought forward so that the emperor could see it at a glance.Therefore, when the emperor asked him, he was overjoyed and immediately walked to the middle of the hall.

Kneeling on the ground, before his voice changed, Yu Hou said with a look of being greatly wronged: "The minister is incompetent, please the emperor to be the master for the minister."

After saying that, he raised his head, and the bloodstains from being scratched on his face instantly caught the eyes of the emperor.

The emperor was shocked when he saw it, and it looked like a woman's nails scratched the scrape instead of falling down. He thought for a while and said: "What do you say, Aiqing is the second-rank marquis named by my relatives. , the imperial court ordered the officials, who dares to do it?"

Although there are eyeliners in the Hou's mansion, but because it was still early and the incident happened last night, the emperor has not received the news yet, and he does not know about Mei Xin's disturbance in the Hou's mansion.

It's okay if you don't ask, but Yu Hou will be even more wronged if you ask.She didn't want to face anymore, she stretched out her hand to remove the white cloth wrapped around her neck, and said in tears: "There is a fierce wife in the family, and the minister is really incompetent. Please ask the emperor to be the master of the minister."

He bowed his head and kowtowed to the ground, and then he said: "During dinner last night, I was still busy in the military department, and the servant at home suddenly came to report that my daughter-in-law was having a difficult labor. I didn't dare to delay and asked the doctor to hurry up." Going back home, but who would have thought that Princess Zhen sent soldiers from Prince Liang's mansion to surround the minister's mansion."

Having said that, he deliberately paused for a moment, wanting to see the emperor's reaction.

The emperor was a little surprised, and also a little confused, he frowned involuntarily and asked with a puzzled expression: "Who did you say surrounded your mansion, Princess Zhen, Mei Xin?"

Surprised in my heart, the emperor thought it was impossible.Mei Xin hasn't been back to Beijing for even a month, these days she has never been out of the gate other than entering the palace to thank Xie En, she probably doesn't even know Marquis Yu, how could she lead soldiers to surround his mansion.
