The delegation entered Hebei from the capital and then took Shanxi, which was exactly the same route as the route taken by Meiru last time. This time, there was no cook by my aunt's side, and the food was much worse. When she left Beijing, her ancestors and mother-in-law repeatedly reminded her to pay attention to the rules and not to run around, so she was in the car during the day, and stayed in the post house at night.

And so it was done. On the 9th, when they arrived in Shaanxi, the group met Meng Zheng's men, who had already greeted the envoys here.

Those who got off the carriage got off the carriage, and those who got off the horse dismounted, saluted each other.

Meiru did not come down. The carriage she was riding in was at the end, and now when she heard the sounds of talking outside, she only felt that one of them was very familiar, Mei Ru was slightly stunned, and hurriedly opened the curtain.

I saw a tall and thin silhouette outside.

The figure is very familiar, but the body is thin, and a face is even thinner, and it is tanned and yellow, and the lips that speak are still a little rough. Mei Ru frowned, and then looked at the past-

She was shocked in her heart, and immediately rejoiced, wasn't the tall thin man in front of her her her own brother?

It turned out that this time the person sent by Meng Zheng to greet the mission turned out to be Mei Xiang!

It was a little far away, and Mei Ru almost didn't recognize her brother.

Unable to care about anything else, she hurriedly jumped out of the car and called "brother" high.

Mei Xiang, who was talking to several envoys, was also stunned, and the next moment, he turned his face suddenly, and his eyes were full of disbelief! He walked over quickly, and Mei Ru hurriedly stepped forward and ran a few steps. When she got to her, Mei Ru only felt that she didn't dare to recognize this brother anymore. The original Mei Xiang was a suave white and clean son, but now this ...... Where is the slightest hint of the past?

Mei Xiang was also a little unrecognizable, "Follow? He was excited and couldn't believe it, and only looked his sister up and down. It's been almost a year, how did you grow taller and look a lot better!?

Mei Ru was also happy, her eyes were red with joy, and she asked incredulously: "Brother, why are you here today?" What a coincidence! ”

Mei Xiang said: "His Royal Highness King Yan estimated that the envoy was almost there, so he sent me and a few brothers to wait here and take you into Chang'an City." After a pause, he sighed, lowered his face and said, "Why are you this girl here?" ”

Mei Ru took his arm and said with a smile: "I'll sue you when I turn around." ”

Mei Xiang raised her hand and knocked on her head, only to dote: "You little ghost spirit!" ”

Let's say that the group walked for another day and entered Chang'an City. The envoys all lived in the inn. For the convenience of doing things, Mei Ru naturally lived in the post house with everyone. The brother and sister talked for a long time, and Mei Xiang was going back to the camp—he was now a centurion in the camp with a hundred people under his command. After Mei Ru heard this, she was deeply happy for her brother. In this way, she realized that she had forgotten her business, and hurriedly asked with concern: "Brother, what are you hurting this discount?" ”

Mei Xiang said naturally: "No." ”

"Brother, don't lie to me?" Mei Ru tilted her head.

Rubbing her brain, Mei Xiang said, "What did I lie to you?" ”

Mei Ruhuan happily took out the portrait of Sister Yue. Mei Xiang took it in his hand and looked at it again and again, and finally smiled. He nodded, "It does look like me." Mei Ru picked out a few interesting things about Sister Yue and told him, and Mei Xiang'an listened quietly. He had something to ask, and then looked at Sister Yue'er's portrait, he quieted down again, just pursed his lips and smiled lightly.

Coming out of the post house, Mei Xiang returned to the camp with the portrait of Sister Yue in her hand. When passing by the Zhongjun tent, he looked inside, and happened to see His Royal Highness King Yan and Meng Zheng selecting people to escort the envoys into Xiqiang. Mei Xiang stood still outside for a while, and when His Royal Highness King Yan came out, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Your Highness." ”

Glancing at him, Fu Zheng said lightly: "Are you back?" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness." Mei Xiang still bowed his hand.

"King Sheben what?" Fu Zheng's tone was still light, and he seemed to be a little puzzled.

Mei Xiang said: "The lowly sister is also among them, and now that we can meet each other, I naturally have to thank Your Highness." ”

After a short silence, Fu Zheng let out an "um", his eyes swept over the painting in Mei Xiang's hand, and asked, "What is this?" ”

"This is a portrait of a lowly daughter." Mei Xiang said happily unfolding the scroll, and added, "The lowly sister painted it." ”

Fu Zheng's eyes fell on the painting, he didn't look too closely at the wrinkled face of the white fat little girl, he only brushed the wrist strength of the pen, he nodded, and took a step to leave. Mei Xiang called him again: "Your Highness! Fu Zheng's figure stopped slightly, and he said, "What's the matter?" Mei Xiangyang said: "Your Highness, this time my lowly sister is in the mission, and I don't feel at ease with my lowly position, and I want to ask myself to escort the mission to Xiqiang." ”

Fu Zheng paused when he heard this, and replied lightly: "The escort matter has been arranged between the king and General Meng Bing, and you have other important tasks." ”

As soon as he heard this, Mei Xiang couldn't insist anymore, and only said "yes".

……

That night, the political envoy of Shaanxi Province invited the envoys and His Royal Highness King Yan to a banquet. Naturally, Mei Ru couldn't go on this occasion. She went to the General Military Mansion to ask Meng Zheng for peace instead.

Meng Zheng asked some about the situation at home, and then advised: "Now that the class teacher has returned to the court, there are not many people left in Xiqiang, and my uncle will send two more guards to you." ”

Mei Ru knew a little about the affairs of the Western Regions - it was about after Xiqiang was defeated, the small countries that were originally accused by him were ready to move, and they might want to find an opportunity to make trouble in private.

Thinking of these troubles in the past, Mei Ru didn't sleep well all day and night. But the people from Honglu Temple ate wine, and when they came back, they were a little noisy. Even across the courtyard, you can hear them talking. The people of Honglu Temple are the best at arguing, and this trouble is a little late, Mei Ru's head is groggy, and she doesn't know when she will fall asleep.

The next day, it was pouring spring rain outside.

On this day, the mission remained in Chang'an City to rest, and in addition to deploying follow-up arrangements. No matter how it is arranged, these have nothing to do with Mei Ru anyway, she doesn't have to worry about anything, she just needs to go to Xiqiang to deal with the little princess. Since she was fine, her head hurt by the quarrel of those people last night, and Mei Ru was still lying in bed at this time, tired, a little drowsy, and sleepy.

She closed her eyes and listened to the sound of the rain falling on the eaves and the rain blowing through the windows.

Suddenly, someone outside came to invite her and said to Jingqin: "Lord Sun asked the girl to go to Songyan Hall to discuss something." ”

Master Sun is the chief envoy of this mission, and everyone has to listen to him.

Since it was Lord Sun who came to invite, it must be an important matter.

Jingqin hurriedly responded, turned around and went inside to wait for the girl to freshen up.

Mei Ru had already sat up helplessly, her black hair fell softly behind her, and she was wearing jade-colored pajamas, always revealing a hint of laziness when it rained.

If you want to meet outsiders, it's not good to be too casual, Jingqin and Yichan are one to comb their hair and the other to dress, and they finally serve Meiru well. Mei Ru sat there fighting with her eyelids straight up, her heart was indignant, just Lord Sun was the noisiest last night, and she didn't let people sleep today!

After dressing up, the rain outside was a little heavier, Jingqin took an umbrella, and the master and servant walked along the verandah to the Songyan Hall in front.

There was already someone talking in Songyan Hall, and his voice was clear and cold, as cold as today's rain. Mei Ru took the umbrella in Jingqin's hand and went alone. When it was about to arrive, his eyes swept slightly into the hall, and he saw that Master Sun and Master Yu were really there, and the top seat was actually Fu Zheng, who I hadn't seen for months!

Mei Ru frowned slightly. On second thought, it should be this person.

Now that he has won the battle, and the people are here, it is naturally his turn to inquire about this kind of mission.

Through the rain, Mei Ru was about to lower her eyes, and the man suddenly turned his head to look over-

The two looked at each other from a distance.

However, I haven't seen him for a few months, this person has faded away from the original delicate elegance of red lips and white teeth, his face is becoming thinner and harder, and his eyes are unconsciously a little more sharp......

Mei Ru lowered her eyes indifferently and took the umbrella in. A maid had already taken the umbrella over and handed the handkerchief to Mei Ru. Mei Ru didn't answer, but blessed everyone and greeted Fu Zheng.

Retracting his gaze, Fu Zheng said, "Third girl, please take a seat." ”

Mei Ru sat at the bottom.

Today's discussion is the arrangement after arriving in Xiqiang, and this matter is very important, so Lord Sun invited Mei Ru to come over before. Mei Ru is now sitting and listening. When she heard that Fu Zheng would go with the mission, she couldn't help but frown quietly.

Fu Zheng was speaking in a deep voice, his eyes swept towards her, and Mei Ru immediately sat upright with an expressionless face.

After everyone finished discussing, Master Sun and the others retreated, Mei Ru also stepped forward to retreat, and the clinker Fu Zheng said to her alone: "The three girls stay." ”

Mei Ru lowered her eyes and asked, "What else is the matter with Your Highness?" ”

Fu Zheng said: "The third girl was late before, and there are some things that the king needs to explain again." "The voice is not salty or light, and I can't hear any emotion.

Mei Ru was indeed a lot late, and now that he said this, she was embarrassed to leave, so as not to delay the business, so she said: "I'm tired of Your Highness." ”

Fu Zheng still glanced at her and said, "Sit down." ”

This time, there were only the two of them and a few maids standing on the side waiting in the hall, Mei Ru didn't want to deliberately run to the outermost side again, so she sat down indifferently under Fu Zheng.

So close, Fu Zheng faintly smelled a faint fragrance, this fragrance was scattered in the continuous rain, like a plum fragrance surging, and revealing some coldness.

Fu Zheng looked over.

At the lower head, Mei Ru hung her head slightly, and her black hair was pulled into a fluffy and soft bun. The weather in Chang'an is much cooler than in Beijing, especially when it rains today. She wore a carmine dotted red gold thread satin jacket, and underneath it was a crescent-white eight-piece Hunan skirt, and she sat there at this moment, her skirt swaying gently by the wind, like soft water. The girl's hand rested in front of her and held it gently, and a little snow-white arm was inadvertently exposed in the cuffs, with a jade bracelet on it, which made the arm more and more white, as white and tender as the earlobes under the black hair.

Fu Zheng opened his eyes heavily.
