From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 821
Peilan was very stable after serving the concubine for many years, and it was precisely because of this that Mei Xin specially transferred her to serve Wen Ruyan.

Thinking of how busy Mei Zhannan was so busy last night and came to see her specially, and told her to rest well and speak softly, the corners of Wen Ruyan's mouth involuntarily rose into a smile.

She is very satisfied with her current life. Although she will never have children in her life, Mei Zhannan's care and love are enough, and she is content.

Xiao Biesheng was newly married, and after not seeing her husband for a long time, she suddenly brought up something embarrassing. Wen Ruyan glared at her through the bronze mirror, and said shyly, "I count you sweet, here, this reward."

Picking up a pair of pearl earrings and handing them to her, Wen Ruyan said again: "The emperor is not a person who likes beauty, so don't say such things in the future."

Taking the blessed body with both hands to salute, Pei Lan said with a smile: "I know my mistake, I will never dare again."

Knowing that her heart was not the same, that what she said was different from what she thought in her heart, Pei Lan became much more courageous.

She waved her hand to signal that it was okay, and asked her to stand up. Wen Ruyan said again: "The emperor is always frugal, this hair is too ostentatious and too expensive, you go and change to a light one. I feel dizzy, wearing such a heavy one will weigh my neck broken."

Yesterday was the enthronement ceremony, so there was no way. Even though it was the New Year's Eve dinner today, it had to be grand, but there was no need to make myself so tired.Besides, she was already top-heavy, and wearing such heavy jewelry would undoubtedly make things worse. The banquet was long, and she couldn't last long before she had to leave.

How many people were not optimistic about her when she got married, how many people were waiting to see her jokes and excitement, and said behind her back that she would end up in a miserable end and die alone without any heirs.Now she has become a queen before a year has passed, and after marrying into Prince Liang's mansion, her husband treats her well, and the two children also respect her very much. She wants to show them how happy she is now and how happy she is. how nice.

When preparing these jewelry, she only thought that the more grand the better, forgetting about her illness, Pei Lan immediately said: "Yes, slave girl, let's go and get a new set now, and the empress should freshen up first."

The sky is already dark and the palace music is playing, and the Qing banquet has been properly arranged, and the banquet will start in half an hour.

Nodding her head in agreement, Peilan called the waiting ladies in to come in, and waited for her to wash and change her clothes before putting on her makeup.

Originally born not bad, with good color, this careful dressing is even more beautiful.It's just that she was seriously ill and weak, and she didn't dress up like a queen, but looked like a sick Xi Shi.

"Your Majesty has a good complexion and well-maintained skin. She hasn't been tanned for so long in Liangzhou, and her skin is not rough at all." Cailing is a good crafter, and she casually rolled up Wen Ruyan's high temples to reveal her beauty, A set of ruby ​​heads is even more dazzling.

Pei Lan also felt that she was taking good care of herself, so she echoed, "What Cailing said is very true, your mother's complexion is very good."

Seeing that one and two of them had extremely sweet mouths, Wen Ruyan stood up and said very happily: "Seeing that Pei Lan has rewards, you are also itching to see, right? Today's Chinese New Year, everyone will be rewarded."

The reward money for the Chinese New Year was delivered to Yunluo early this morning, fearing that she would not have enough, Mei Xin specially brought a small box of gold leaves and a large box of golden beans for her to reward others.

The maids in the palace were overjoyed when they heard that there was a reward, and they all knelt down to give thanks.

Thinking of Mei Xin not knowing where she is now, Wen Ruyan supported Pei Lan's arm and opened her mouth as she walked out, "Where is the eldest princess, has it passed?"

There is no concubine in the harem and she is the only one. The crown prince lives in the East Palace. Mei Xin is the only one who comes to say hello sooner or later, and the only one who can chat with her is Mei Xin.

People in each palace were very busy during the big banquet in the palace, so that Pei Wen didn't know where Mei Xin was right now.Not daring to answer indiscriminately, she thought for a while and said: "It should be that the emperor and the crown prince are both busy at the banquet in the palace, and the empress is sick, and there are no other concubines in the harem, so the eldest princess is watching alone."

There is no empress dowager at the top, no other princes at the bottom, and no concubines in the middle. Only the eldest princess can worry about the inside and outside.

When she was in the palace, she was Mei Xin's housekeeper, and Wen Ruyan didn't want to get involved in these matters, in case she did something wrong and hurt the relationship between husband and wife.Therefore, she was not dissatisfied in any way, and not only was she not dissatisfied, she also said: "The eldest princess is a hero among women."

It is said that women are not as good as men, but in her opinion, Mei Xin is Mei Jinze's younger brother and should be named a prince.

He had heard about Mei Xin's deeds a long time ago, and Pei Lan admired her from the bottom of his heart, and said sincerely: "Who says it's not the case, the Eldest Princess not only manages the affairs of the harem, but also goes to court, and also leads the household department, and also has a It's been a lot of hard work with two kids."

Speaking of the two children, she couldn't help but think of Zongzheng Mingzhen, wondering what was going on with their marriage, Wen Ruyan stopped and said, "Is there any happy event in the palace recently?"

It's not good to ask directly, she deliberately lowered her voice.

Perrin was smart, and knew what she was asking as soon as she heard this.However, even though there were rumors about this matter in the palace, no one dared to discuss it in public, they only talked about it in private.So, she supported her and continued to walk forward, saying: "Perhaps it is a rumor that Zongzheng Hou moved his family to the south and will leave Beijing soon."

Wen Ruyan, who knew that Mei Xin liked Zongzheng Mingzhen, was stunned.Frowning deep in thought, she paused for a while before continuing to walk forward and said, "When will it happen, did the emperor agree?"

Nodding in agreement, Pei Lan supported her and replied cautiously: "My servant also heard that before the enthronement ceremony, the Marquis Zongzheng wrote a paper, saying that he wanted to be transferred to the south, and the emperor agreed. No, I'm going to leave as soon as the enthronement ceremony is over. gone."

Seeing Mei Xin alone blowing the cold wind by the lake in the Imperial Garden several times, she must be sad.

If her husband agrees, then it must be true, but what should Mei Xin do after he leaves.The two of them had a child again, how could they just leave, Zongzheng Mingzhen's heart was too cruel.

"Your Majesty, let's get out of the way, the banquet is about to start." There is still a long way to go from here to the Hall of Heavenly Purity, and some are rushing.

Putting aside the doubts in her heart for the time being, Wen Ruyan took a slap in the face, and by the time she arrived, the banquet had already begun.Not knowing that she would come, Mei Xin hurriedly told Mei Zhannan after hearing the report.

Today, the monarch and his ministers and Le Mei Zhannan were very happy. When they heard that the queen was coming, he ordered the eunuch to shout: "The empress is here!"

As the voice fell, Wen Ruyan walked up to the main hall amidst the attention of everyone, and saluted Mei Zhannan.

After ordering someone to put down the cushion, Mei Zhannan motioned for her to get up and then stretched out his hand to pull her to his side.The couple sat together and envied all the female relatives. They saluted and greeted each other.

There must be singing and dancing at the palace banquet, but Wen Ruyan didn't glance at it because she had something hidden in her heart, instead she kept staring at Zongzheng Mingzhen.
