I have a book of ghosts and gods

Chapter 186 The King's Capital of Chu (seeking subscription monthly pass)

Could it be that I am wrong?

Jiang Zhou searched the embroidered building for a long time, but he didn't find anything unusual, let alone left books.

He couldn't help suspecting that he was superstitious and misunderstood what Chen Santong meant.

But doubts were fleeting.

Chen Santong would not be such a boring person.

The Chen family mansion was empty.

Except for some ordinary furniture and furnishings, there is not much left in the house.

It seems that it is not a hasty relocation, but a lot of preparation time.

Chen Santong only came to see him before leaving.

Or, it was because Chen Santong treated him casually and only regarded him as a casual acquaintance.

Or, it has to be.

Obviously, for a casual acquaintance, it is impossible to give away their own house with such a large amount of money.

Under the boudoir...

Jiang Zhou stood on the small building, in Chen Qingyue's boudoir, opened the window, showing a thoughtful expression.

Even the floor, he searched carefully, but found no hidden compartments.

He looked up at the quiet and elegant garden below.

Needless to say, originally he didn't care about Chen Santong giving him the house.

But after looking at the house carefully, he liked it quite a bit, and thought of moving in.

Although Su Jingsi is good, but after all, there are many people with mixed eyes and many ears and eyes.

He deliberately exposed something before, and there was nothing in the way.

But time has changed, and some things are better hidden.

"Ok?"

Jiang Zhou saw a small sprout under the window.

It was a peach tree seedling.

He suddenly remembered that during the daytime chatting politely with Chen Santong, he repeatedly mentioned that the best way to drink Jinbo wine is actually to pick one or two peach blossoms and soak them in the wine for two days in advance...

Isn't the location of the sapling just under the boudoir?

This Chen Santong...

The words are not clear, but they are hidden everywhere.

If he was stupid, wouldn't all this effort be in vain?

How big a secret is it, so afraid of being discovered?
Jiang Zhou jumped directly from the window, looked around the peach tree and searched carefully.

It's really weird.

Although it was just a small sapling, Jiang Zhou could see a bit of beauty from it.

Even a peach blossom forest in full bloom might not be able to give him such a feeling.

However, that's about it.

Other than that, Jiang Zhou couldn't see anything unusual.

Could it be that we really have to wait for it to bloom, so I can use it to make wine?

Looking at the appearance of this little tree, I really have to wait until it blooms, and I don't know how long it will take.

Jiang Zhou recalled every word Chen Santong said, and he might really mean that.

This Chen Sanpang, no wonder he wanted to give him a house.

Not only for the sake of secrecy, it is very likely that he is still required to guard the peach tree.

Since this is the case, then the captain is also welcome.

Jiang Zhou looked at the huge garden and immediately decided to move in tomorrow.

It's definitely not that he is greedy for mansions, it's purely a matter of entrustment and loyalty.

Ok.

……

Down the Huai River, more than two hundred miles away from Wu County, is the current sixth prince, the fief granted by the King of Chu, and the capital of the Chu Kingdom——Ying.

Although Yingdu is nearly half smaller than Wujun, its prosperity seems to be not less than, on the contrary, it is more.

The Chu Palace is located in Yingdu.

Although it is the place where the king of Chu lived, it is gorgeous and beautiful, but it does not occupy a large area.

Anyone with extensive knowledge knows that this Chu Palace is not even comparable to one or two of the prince's mansions in the Yujing Divine Capital when the Chu King was not crowned king.

Today, the king of Chu has a very high reputation among literati.

His talent and learning have been praised by great Confucians, and he is the best among princes.

He is respectful and virtuous as a corporal, has a measure of advance and retreat, and is benevolent and loves the people. He has a measure of control, knows people and makes good use of them.

All industries in the country are prosperous, and the people live in peace.

The king of Chu is benevolent, and he often does benevolent government and good deeds. Most of the refugees from all over Nanzhou flock to Chu.

Quite praised by the literati and supported by the common people.

"The autumn festival is just around the corner. After the ceremony, how are your highness's eight treasures banquets prepared?"

"This is a major event once a year in my Palace of Chu, and it cannot be sloppy."

In the backyard of the inner house of Chu Wangfu, in the gorgeous hall.

A woman dressed luxuriously and gracefully, with a beautiful appearance said softly.

She is the mistress of this mansion, Princess Chu.

Beneath the hall stood more than ten nurses and maids in charge of the inner courtyard of the palace.

An old nanny bowed and said, "My lady, everything has been prepared, and there will be no mistakes."

"That's good."

Princess Chu nodded, and after a pause, she seemed to think of something again: "How is Lan Yang these days?"

"I have been busy with the autumn festival recently, but she has lost discipline. She hasn't done anything out of the ordinary, has she?"

The old mother smiled and said: "Your Majesty, please be at ease, the princess is very gentle and virtuous, so why would she do anything out of the ordinary?"

"Hehehe..."

Princess Chu let out a coquettish smile, as if she heard a big joke.

"Is she still gentle and virtuous? Nanny Chen, with your mouth, you can turn black into white!"

The old mama said seriously: "This servant is telling the truth, and this servant has lived for most of her life. I really have never seen someone who is more outstanding than the princess."

"All right, all right, you don't want to say good things about her anymore."

Although Princess Chu knew that the old mother was trying to make her happy, she still smiled happily.

While covering her mouth and laughing lightly, her phoenix eyes moved, suddenly seeing a different expression on the face of a nanny in the hall, she couldn't help but twitch her brows.

"Wang Momo, look at your expression, but what's wrong? Is this girl Lan Yang really causing trouble again?"

Wang Momo looked terrified and bowed: "Go back to your mother, what Chen Momo said is also what the slaves think, how can such a character as the princess cause trouble? But..."

Princess Chu frowned and said, "But how?"

Wang Momo hurriedly knelt down and looked around a few times: "I dare not say..."

Princess Chu glanced at everyone in the hall, waved her hand and said, "Go down first."

"Yes."

All the servants responded one after another.

Before the old mother surnamed Chen stepped back, she gave that mother Wang a hard look.

Mother Wang just said nothing.

Princess Chu said: "Tell me, what did Lan Yang do?"

Wang Niangniang said: "Your Majesty, this matter really has nothing to do with the princess, it's just... this matter may be in the way of the princess's reputation, the slaves have been hiding it in their hearts, and dare not reveal the slightest..."

"What did you say?"

The King of Chu looked slightly cold: "Is it a hindrance to fame?"

Immediately, his expression was neither happy nor angry, and he couldn't see any abnormalities, and said lightly: "Since it has been hidden all the time, why do you want to say it now?"

"Your Majesty asked, the slaves dare not lie, and, and..."

Concubine Chu said: "And what? If you hesitate again, don't blame me for being cruel."

"Yes!"

Wang Niangniang put her head on the ground, not daring to delay, she quickly said:

"Your Majesty, in fact, the last time the princess fled... when she left Yingdu, she had a close relationship with a young man in Wujun,"

"The servant was annoyed at the man's rudeness to the princess, and wanted to teach him a lesson. Who knows, the princess suddenly stepped forward. Naturally, the servant did not dare to be rude to the princess,"

"But the princess would rather put her life at risk than protect that man. Now..."

"Now that I've been back to the palace for a few days, the maidservants are often lost in thought when they see the princess. At first, the maidservants said that the princess had just returned to the palace, so she couldn't let go of the excitement outside."

"But a few days ago, the maidservant heard that the princess secretly sent a maidservant to inquire about the young man..."

After listening to Princess Chu, a slight anger appeared on her face.

"How dare you, an old slave, hide such a big matter and only talk about it now?"

Wang Momo was terrified: "Your Majesty, forgive me! It's really a matter of the princess's name, and the servants dare not arrange it at will."

Concubine Chu said coldly: "Remember your whipping for now, and let's talk about it in detail first."

"Yes!"

Wang Momo bowed her head, a stern look flashed in her eyes.

Then he told the scene between meeting the princess and the arrogant boy of Su Jingsi in Wu Junzhong that day.

She didn't dare to spread rumors, she told the truth about what she saw and heard.

It's just that the words are a little vague and ambiguous, and if you add more jealousy, people will think that there is some kind of affair between the two.

Princess Chu was really annoyed: "Lan Yang, this girl is too outrageous!"

"So messing around with a demon guard!"

She wouldn't just rely on what Wang Momo said.

But her own daughter knew that she wouldn't really do something scandalous, but hanging around with such a lowly status person was not an honorable thing in itself.

As Wang Momo said, this dead girl still can't forget the little servant, how amazing is that?
In addition to being angry, I couldn't help but have some headaches.

"Go, please come down."

Grandma Wang didn't dare to delay, she quickly got up and left in a hurry.

Not long after, the king of Chu, who was luxurious, elegant, and handsome, strode in from the door.

"Hahaha, concubine, it's rare for you to take the initiative to see me, what's the matter? But you miss me?"

Concubine Chu had no intention of laughing with him, and after meeting Yili, she said angrily: "Your Highness, don't be ashamed, do you know what good things your precious daughter has done?"
