witch chaotic country

Chapter 638

When the little maid heard Jiang's question, she seemed to reply inadvertently: "Yes, Mr. Tan Xiaolang has come to the mansion with Mr. Xu to discuss matters with Mr. Xu."

When Mrs. Jiang heard that her son was looking for the prince together with Xu Shilang, her heart suddenly fell to the ground.He was quite proud and said: "Oh, he is young and ignorant, so he shouldn't learn more from Xu Shilang and the prince."

Xu Shilang is the only son of the eldest princess. Although his official position is not high, he is also a serious relative of the emperor.

The little maidservant flattered: "Madam is too modest. Although the two young gentlemen are both dragons and phoenixes, but the maid looked at him, but Mr. Tan Xiaolang is more assertive. The maid also heard that the prince and his concubine mentioned Mr. Tan Xiaolang. It is said that the palace is choosing Zhan Shi and Prince Shaofu for the prince. This task may fall on Mr. Tan Xiaolang!"

Mrs. Jiang was overjoyed when she heard the words, and hurriedly grabbed the little maidservant, took off the bracelet on her wrist and put it on the maidservant's hand, and asked in a low voice: "Is what you said true?!"

The little maidservant got the bracelet, smiled with her eyes bent, nodded affirmatively and said: "Although the prince has mentioned a few people with the empress, you also know the position of the empress in the heart of the prince. As long as the empress is willing to say something for Mr. Tan Xiaolang, this position It must be sure!"

Jiang's heart was full of joy when he heard the words.If Tan Chengbo can do Zhan's work in the Prince's Mansion, or the Prince's Shaofu, then their mother and son can be said to be able to attack and retreat.

If King Pengcheng wholeheartedly assists the emperor, and the prince ascends the throne in the future, Tan Chengbo will be the minister of the hidden mansion, and he should be reused most.If King Pengcheng really rebelled, the group of King Pengcheng would have done a great job in addition to the prince who is a confidant!
Now that the emperor has been ill for a long time, even the people around the prince are handed over to King Pengcheng to choose.Of course, King Pengcheng would send his most trusted person there.

The eldest princess has always been close to King Pengcheng, and the position of Xu Shilang is a certainty.And his son making friends with Xu Shilang at this time, doesn't it make it clear that he will be promoted soon? !
The more Jiang thinks about it, the more she feels that this matter is reliable. Everything is ready, and the only thing left is Dongfeng.And this east wind is Jiu Xi's pillow wind!
Jiang tried to test the little maidservant with a smile on her face, "I don't know what the concubine's concubine would like these days, the mother has worked so hard to raise the son, I just want to find something good to make the empress happy."

The little maid thoughtfully said, "Your Majesty has enough food and clothing, and the house is full of treasures. The servant really doesn't know what your Majesty lacks. If you say you have a good heart, your Majesty likes to hear some anecdotes. Maybe it's really boring to stay in the palace all day long." Bar."

Mrs. Jiang clapped her hands and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about anecdotes! What's new in Jiankang City, I know it by heart."

The little maidservant smiled foolishly, "That's a good thing, Madam and maidservant go to see the empress."

Mrs. Jiang nodded, and walked briskly, following the little maidservant all the way to the inner courtyard.

When passing by a row of houses, although Jiang heard some noises inside, she didn't pay attention.Little did they know that at this time Tan Chengbo and Xu Zhanzhi were puffing and puffing, chasing and playing around a few maidservants after smoking Wushisan.

Entering Jiuxi's room, I saw her fiddling with a box of colored treasures boredly.

The gemstones in the box are all crystal clear and full of fire.Even from a distance, Jiang can see that these are rare treasures.It is estimated that King Pengcheng came here to make Jiuxi happy, but there was no joy in Jiuxi's eyes.

Seeing Mrs. Jiang coming, there was a trace of anger in Jiu Xi's eyes, and she softly pointed to the cushion beside her, "Sit down."

After seeing the ceremony, Mrs. Jiang thanked her and sat down, and looked around carefully while bowing her head, but she did not see Xiao Shizi.

It's strange to say that she has not come to Pengcheng Prince's Mansion once or twice, except for the day of the Hundred Days Banquet, it seems that she has never seen the child at Jiuxi's place.Could it be that you are sick?

Mrs. Jiang didn't dare to ask any more questions, and only followed the little maidservant to point her out and said, "Your Majesty seems a little listless these days, but what's bothering you?"

As expected, Jiuxi replied: "Although this palace is big, there are only so many places to go in all directions. How can it be compared with the past when I traveled with my mother at home?"

Mrs. Jiang hurriedly said: "The status of the empress is not what it used to be, and she has to take care of the young son. Naturally, it is difficult to go out. The concubine is more likely to go out, why not find some interesting things to tell the empress?"

Jiuxi smiled slightly, "It's so good. If you talk about interesting things, the most talked about in Jiankang City recently is probably the daughter of the Tan family. I heard that she is coming back soon. I wonder what kind of girl it is?"

Mrs. Jiang didn't expect Jiuxi to ask this as soon as she came up, but she wanted to ask Jiuxi for help, so she naturally didn't hide it, and told about Tan Yaoyu's madness when she was young and being imprisoned in a dungeon.

"You don't know, that's not a person, it's clearly a witch. As soon as I raised my hand, I killed my maidservant. My general is obsessed with ghosts, and he insists on bringing this witch back. Every time I think of This demon girl can't eat and can't sleep at night. It's a pity that my concubine is soft-spoken, and I can't persuade the general, let alone speak to the prince and the emperor. I am really worried that if the demon girl goes crazy again, it will hurt people. Zensheng is good." Jiang Shi was about to cry when she said that.

Jiuxi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh? She killed people as soon as she raised her hand?"

"It's absolutely true!" Jiang said with certainty, "I saw it with my own eyes! Your empress must tell the prince, beware of this witch!"

Jiuxi smiled slightly, "Although I am the prince's side concubine, I am still a woman in the final analysis. This should be explained to the prince by a man of insight. The prince has been choosing things for the prince for the past two days. And Crown Prince Shaofu. The only son of the Eldest Princess, Xu Shilang, has already appointed the position of Zhan Shi, and this Crown Prince Shaofu...in my view, Mr. Tan Xiaolang is the most suitable."

Mrs. Jiang did not expect her goal to be achieved so easily, she nodded her head repeatedly, "Thank you for your appreciation, my lord and my lady! My lady is very right. My family is capable of both civil and military affairs, so who else can this crown prince do?!"

Jiu Xi nodded, "When Lord Tan Xiaolang becomes the Prince's assistant, he will naturally be loyal to the emperor and speak out, and solve problems for the emperor and the prince."

"Exactly! Exactly!" Mrs. Jiang hurriedly said, "Chengbo will never forget the kindness of the prince and empress!"

Jiu Xi looked surprised again, "Speaking of which, General Tan is the pillar of the country, and you are also a virtuous and virtuous lady, how did Qian Jin suffer from this 'madness'?"

Mrs. Jiang hurriedly waved her hands, gritted her teeth and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know. The Tan Yaoyu was not born by my concubine. It was the debt of my general's former wife! That girl was as surly and ruthless as her daughter, and gave birth to a witch, but You don’t know how to atone for your sins, and you left your husband and son behind, and went to become a monk by yourself!”

"Oh?" Jiuxi became interested, "Her biological mother is still alive?"

Jiang's face was dark, "How can we publicize the scandal at home? Few people really know about it. Outsiders thought she was dead."

Jiuxi licked his lower lip, and said with a half-smile: "Maybe she became a monk to atone for her daughter's sins. I just don't know which monastery dares to take in such a woman?"

Jiang said angrily: "Who says no! It is kindness for this criminal woman not to be executed. If she is divorced and abandoned, she should hide far away. But who would have thought that she has become a monk and spent money in the Tan family?" In the past few years, my concubine has secretly investigated and found that my general will send a sum of sesame oil money to the Taoist temple every year. It is a pity that my general values ​​love and righteousness..."

Jiuxi tentatively asked: "Madam didn't send anyone to go to the Taoist temple to check?"

Jiang snorted angrily, "Where does this concubine have such great ability? The general always sends his henchmen to send the sesame oil money. As for where to send it, I have no right to ask."
