From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 111
She opened her mouth to explain, but Mei Xin opened her mouth before him, and introduced herself, "Liangzhou guard, Mei Xin, sees the empress, and the empress is a thousand years old!"

"Xin'er, you are Xin'er, why are you so tall?" Before the Queen could say anything, the Crown Princess Qiu Yuwei asked with surprise on her face.

Childhood friend and only confidant, if Mei Xin was in her previous life, she would definitely raise her head and be as ecstatic as her, and greet her happily.But after experiencing the pain of the previous life, she knew that she was not the Qiu Yuwei she knew before, so she didn't look up.As if saluting to the queen, he said lightly: "See the princess!"

"Do you know each other?" Suddenly remembered that the princess's father was an official in Liangzhou, the queen continued without waiting for the princess's answer, "Look at my memory, you mentioned Mei Xin to me not long ago."

Bowing her head to signal Mei Xin to get up, the queen looked her up and down and said, "Mei Xin, the daughter of Prince Liang, was born in the capital and grew up in Liangzhou. She entered the military camp at the age of eight and formally joined the army at the age of 12. She is a member of the Mei family army." A fierce general, he has made a lot of illustrious military exploits over the years."

Because of the teachings of the Mei family ancestors, the queen was very curious about the daughters of the Mei family when she was still in the boudoir.After listening to Mei Linlang's deeds, I feel even more respectful, and of course, more envious.

The daughters of the Mei family are born proud, and they will not be concubines if they don't enter the harem, but almost no one who marries them dares to take concubines.A couple for a lifetime is the luxury of women all over the world, it is their dream.Therefore, she envied the daughter of the Mei family, and before she got married, she also hoped that she and her future husband would be a couple for the rest of their lives.

As soon as Mei Xin stood up, the Crown Princess held her hand, and instinctively wanted to avoid it, but Qiu Yuwei was shocked and exclaimed: "Oh, why are there so many calluses on this hand? ? And the nails, which are all cracked. Xiner, do you hurt?"

She obviously had a concerned look on her face, but Mei Xin felt pain in her hands, especially when her hands touched those cracks.

If it was Mei Xin in her previous life, she would definitely think that Qiu Yuwei didn't do it on purpose, but she was too surprised and distressed to accidentally touch her.It can be seen that after seeing her real face in the previous life, she doesn't think so now.

Flicking her hand away skillfully, Mei Xin said calmly, "My minister is a member of the army. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and holds a knife all the time. The princess laughed!"

A look of embarrassment flashed across Qiu Yuwei's face, but soon she stretched out her hand again.This time, instead of holding Mei Xin's hand, she directly took away the prescription from her hand: "It looks like the prescription prescribed by Tai Hospital, Xin'er, what's wrong with you? Are you sick or injured?"

As the voice became lower and lower, Qiu Yuwei's face changed, and her hands trembled involuntarily.

Atractylodes macrocephala, Eucommia, rehmannia glutinosa, dogwood, licorice...

Isn't this the miscarriage medicine she took before?Could it be that the news sent by her natal family yesterday was true, the prince not only ruined Mei Xin's innocence but also allowed her to have a child?
Seeing Qiu Yuwei's unconcealable shock and anger all over her body, Mei Xin knew that she had received the news.With no expression on her face, she calmly said: "I was injured on the battlefield and has not recovered yet. The emperor ordered Zhou Taiyi to take the pulse of this minister. This is the prescription prescribed by Zhou Taiyi after taking the pulse. "

Although the Empress is the successor, she is not much older than the Crown Princess, but she is a daughter of a family and has always acted prudently.Seeing that the Crown Princess was different from usual, she was very reckless and unruly, and she seemed to be surprised for a while, so she directly took the prescription in her hand and looked at it, saying: "Well, it's the words of Imperial Physician Zhou. Replenishes Qi and blood."

After finishing speaking, she folded the prescription in half and returned it to Mei Xin, the queen continued: "No wonder the general looks bad, it turns out he was injured."

While giving Mei Xin the prescription, the queen carefully looked at her hands.It is not fair, and it is larger than ordinary women's hands. The most important thing is that it is very rough, and the calluses on the tiger's mouth are also very thick.Someone in the family practiced martial arts, so she naturally knew that the calluses on the tiger's mouth were caused by practicing martial arts, but her hands were not only dry and cracked, but also had many barbs, and the nails were also trimmed flat, rougher than all the hands of men she had ever seen.

Couldn't help but stepped forward to hold her hands, looked back and forth, the queen said: "It's cold, you need to take good care of your hands, or you will suffer in winter."

She suffered from chilblains when she was playful when she was a child. Although the condition of Mei Xin's hands is different, the dryness and cracking are the same.Feeling sympathetic in her heart, the queen withdrew her hand and said to the maid next to her: "The almond pearl cream I made a few days ago is good, very moisturizing, suitable for the major general, you order someone to get it and bring it to the major general."

The maid named Fei Cui immediately saluted and said: "Yes, this servant obeys!"

Standing up, she turned her head and waved to Lushui who was standing behind, and she went back the same way to get the almond pearl ointment.

The queen's gift, it's hard to say no, Mei Xin accepted it calmly and thanked: "Thank you for your concern, empress, I will definitely make good use of it!"

In order to win the emperor's pity, she deliberately did not use the pearl ointment that Yuan Muqiu collected for her. Now that the goal is achieved, she must take good care of it.Of course, it can't be compared with those famous ladies in the capital, as long as they don't dry out.

Seeing that Mei Xin was a straightforward person, the queen saw that she was getting more and more pleasing to the eye, and said with a slight smile: "Okay, your hands are very dry, I'm afraid one bottle is not enough. I'll see if you can use it when I go back later." Yes, let the people below send it to you. I won’t drag you to talk if you are still injured, and I will call you into the palace again when you recover in a few days.”

Sensing that the queen didn't seem to be doing superficial tricks, nor did she seem to be saying it casually, Mei Xin frowned slightly.However, it soon unfolded, and he saluted: "Yes, I will retire!"

"Mother, this is the first time for the Major General to enter the palace. If there is no one to lead the way, I am afraid that I will get lost. My son and the Major General are old acquaintances, my son..." Before Qiu Yuwei finished speaking, she was interrupted by the people around her.He only heard: "The Crown Princess will go to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager in a while, and the servants will send the young general out of the palace."

The voice was deep and extremely severe, and one could tell it was the old lady who had gone out of the palace.

Hearing the sound, she was stunned, and the princess realized that she had lost her composure, and she was too anxious.Smiling awkwardly, he explained: "Er Chen and Sister Xin'er knew each other when they were in Liangzhou. They are close friends in the boudoir. We haven't seen each other for ten years, and we forgot everything when we saw each other. Don't be surprised by the empress, Er Chen is rude."

Although the queen is young, she is not easy to fool. In addition, Qiu Yuwei behaved strangely after meeting Mei Xin. She gave her a meaningful look and said, "I also have close friends in my boudoir, so I understand your feelings." , but this is the Qianqing Palace, not the East Palace."
