From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 722
On the eve of New Year's Eve, there was a banquet in the palace, and all the vassals and their families from all over the country came to the palace for the banquet. The princes and concubines also brought their children to the palace to accompany the emperor and empress dowager to celebrate the New Year.It's not unusual for this to be an old practice in the palace, but this year not only there are more people from Prince Liang's mansion, but also feudal lords from all over the place, a large number of people.

Probably because she was afraid that the news of her illness would shock the court and cause the vassal kings to raise their troops to rebel. As soon as Mei Xin entered the palace, she heard that the emperor had taken the two pills that the East China Sea paid tribute to two years ago.It is said to be a miracle medicine. It contains not only the rare Tianshan snow lotus, but also many rare medicinal materials, and there is even a 400-year-old ginseng in it.

Mei Xin didn't know if it was true or not, but it was a sensation when the tribute was paid back then, and the rumors were so miraculous that she thought the medicine was a fairy medicine at that time.

Because in the previous life, Princess Ping Mei Xin was able to enter the palace to attend the palace banquet every year. Knowing that the banquet would not start so soon and there was still half an hour left, she led Dou Kou, Yun Luo and San Niang to the Imperial Garden.The weather was cold, and it snowed again at dusk. Although it was not very big, the ground was already white and covered with a thin layer of snow.

Wearing moccasin boots in cold weather, Yun Luo was afraid that the soles would slip, so he kept supporting Mei Xin's arm.Although Mei Xin felt that she was being too careful, she didn't say anything, and the group of four walked while admiring the scenery in the palace.

In order to show the majesty of the emperor, the palace banquet cost a lot, and the imperial garden, which should have been bare, seemed to have arrived in spring, with a hundred flowers blooming.

When the wind blows, the flowers are swaying and fragrant. Mei Xin walked to a piece of crabapple flowers and said, "Sure enough, the gardeners in the palace are good at their craftsmanship. Look at how beautiful the crabapple flowers bloom. There are also narcissus and clivia, which are not at all similar. The listless children raised in our house are so spiritless."

It's not just crabapple flowers, the flowers in the imperial garden seem to have been washed every leaf and every flower, they are very clean and beautiful.

Yun Luo didn't like crabapple flowers, nor did she like narcissus and Clivia. She looked around and said, "It's better for slaves to look at Du Juan, and morning glory is also beautiful, but it's a pity that these two kinds of flowers are not grown in the palace."

I heard the second lady Mei Wanzhi say that the more expensive the flowers in the palace, the better. The azaleas and morning glory grow in the wild and are too petty.She didn't believe it when she said it, but now that she looked around, she really did.

"Who can say what it means now, a piece of spring and a heart for Haitang. Yesterday, the servant heard the second young master reading it in the study, but I don't know what it means." Sanniang suddenly remembered, and couldn't help but read it out.

Mei Xin knew it, but before she could open her mouth, someone jumped in front of her, and she only heard: "I thought the Eldest Princess was a hero in the battlefield, but I didn't expect to have the feelings of a little girl, it's so strange."

Wen Sheng looked to Bai Suguan, and an extraordinary-looking young man came over.He didn't have any entourage around him, and he didn't wear any accessories that could represent his identity. Mei Xin said lightly: "I'm a woman, so there's nothing so strange about it, but it's fine for you to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, and still act rashly like this." It seems inappropriate to interrupt, right?"

It was a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

White clothes and plain crowns are majestic, elegant and handsome, and attract people's attention no matter where they go, and such a person who can appear in the imperial garden tonight must not be an ordinary person, let alone an ordinary son of a prince or general.

With a slight smile like a hundred flowers blooming, the man walked up to the Begonia flower indifferently and said: "Everyone in the imperial garden at the banquet in the palace came so I just eavesdropped on it? Besides, your masters and servants don't avoid talking, I I couldn't help but interrupted what's the matter. As soon as I entered the capital, I heard about the affairs of Prince Liang's mansion. It was really shocking. I heard that Prince Liang's continuation won his daughter's approval, and the county magistrate of Jiajing didn't enter the house. I was given the best child soup, and the eldest princess's resolute methods really admire me."

After finishing speaking, he clasped his fists as a signal, expressing that he really admired her from the bottom of his heart.

It was not the first time I heard such words, Mei Xin didn't care, looked into the distance and said indifferently: "And then?"

Remembering who he was, Mei Xin put her hands behind her back and made a gesture to Sanniang and the others that only they could understand.

"Then?" The man casually folded a crabapple flower and held it in his hand to play with. He continued with a half-smile, "Then Prince Liang is afraid of his younger sister, and his younger sister has to nod in marriage. I don't believe it, so I came here to ask."

Frowning slightly, Mei Xin looked down at her swollen belly and said, "That's right, but my elder brother is not afraid of me. On the contrary, he wants to find me a good sister-in-law because he loves me and respects me. Why, Long Is the king here for a marriage?"

King Long, the youngest son of the Emperor of the East China Sea, is deeply loved by his father. He is gentle, kind and filial by nature.

So far, no trace of the fourth prince of Tayan has been found. Mei Xin's attention is all on Tartar, so that she only received the news that the envoy from the East China Sea had entered Beijing two days ago.She didn't expect that it was him who came, and she didn't expect to meet here, Mei Xin became more and more curious.

Since it was the first time for King Long to enter the capital, he never expected that Mei Xin would guess his identity so quickly and call out his title accurately. He was surprised but also meaningfully smiled and said: "Major General As expected of a major general, with amazing eyesight, Xiao Wang admires him!"

He intentionally took off all the accessories on his body in white clothes and plain crowns, thinking that he would still be recognized, it was boring.

A major general is tantamount to an affirmation to Mei Xin, she said: "To each other, my lord, you are being polite!"

She has never met before and can recognize who she is at a glance. This person is by no means simple. It's just that the third prince who came to marry Donghai in the previous life was the third prince of Concubine Xiangui. How can you ask about your brother now?

Something was wrong in her heart, a bad premonition came to her heart instantly, Mei Xin looked back at Yun Luo and said, "The hand stove is cold, go get another one."

I never had the habit of bringing a hand stove, and I didn't take it before going out. It was my brother who packed the charcoal and asked her to take it.She couldn't, thinking that everyone in the palace would also take it, so just take it.Therefore, Yun Luo understood it as soon as he heard it, stretched out his hand to take it, bent over to salute, turned his head and hurried away.

The daughter of the Mei family is well-known all over the world, and Mei Xin is a heroine who never gives up to a man.Therefore, King Long treated her like a thunderbolt.Unexpectedly, a general like her who was fighting on the battlefield would warm her hands with a stove like a daughter in her boudoir, and immediately smiled and said: "Sure enough, seeing is believing once a hundred times. The young general really opened Xiao Wang's eyes. What kind of cold-blooded and ruthless king of Hades is? The women Wang has seen are no different."

Especially now that she is still pregnant and her vigor is gone, she is not at all like a treasured sword that has shown its sharpness before it is sheathed in the rumors.
