Maid Keer

Chapter 126 Maid Ke'er (Two in One)

In the depths of the capital, the Ouchi Imperial Palace.

In a magnificent palace.

The second prince, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, leaned on the bench, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The official who had just had a closed door in the south of the Yangtze River swept off the wind and snow in front of the house, and after tidying up his appearance, he entered the room respectfully.

The second prince has a serious cleanliness habit.

Everyone around him knows this.

The official trotted all the way, knelt down in front of the second prince, and reported the situation just now in detail.

Not even a trace of Jiangnan's tone and demeanor was missed.

After listening, after a long time, the second prince opened his eyes.

"He never shot at you?"

The official shook his head quickly, "Although that Jiang Xiuyi drove the slave out, he didn't hurt anyone."

The second prince sighed: "That's really a pity."

The official's expression changed.

He originally thought that His Royal Highness was trying to win over Jiangnan.

But he never expected that His Royal Highness would want Jiangnan to take action against him?

Can't help but be puzzled, "Your Highness..."

When he said this, he came to his senses and quickly slapped his lips: "This slave is talkative! This slave is talkative!"

The Second Highness cast a glance at him, "It's okay."

"Auspicious, you have been with me for many years."

"Should I know about Ben Gong's attitude towards Jian Hut?"

Hearing this, the officials suddenly reacted.

The attitude of the entire Daxia court towards Jianlu is a bit subtle.

Due to the existence of Jianlu and Mo Qingshan, Daxia looms as the champion among the six major forces, occupying the territory of Zhongzhou.

But it is also because there is a supreme existence like Mo Qingshan in that sword hut, the Great Xia court can say that there are almost no restrictions on the sword hut.

It can be called a country within a country.

Under such circumstances, it is natural that some people in the court are extremely dissatisfied with the Sword Cottage.

And the second prince is the most radical group among them.

He believes that people who are not of my race must have a different heart.

Combined with the identity of the Jianghou Lord Jianlu Jianshou, the official Jixiang naturally guessed the second prince's attitude towards Jiangnan.

"As long as you don't speak rudely and he dares to attack you, I am sure that his appointment as Marquis will come to naught."

The second prince's eyes were cold, and he murmured: "I am in the Great Xia Dynasty, how can I let an outsider who was born in a sword cottage become a marquis?"

"Unfortunately, this person is too cautious."

The second prince sighed quietly, "Forget it, I can only find another chance."

The officials buried their heads deeply, not daring to say more.

But he already knew what the second prince was thinking in his heart.

In the Great Xia court, no matter whether they were appointed as marquises or promoted.

During the period from the decision-making to the formal entrustment, the entrusted person will generally be more cautious than usual.

Because this period of time is not expressly stipulated, but it is an "inspection period" in the sense of unspoken rules.

Throughout the ages, during the inspection period, there are countless examples of being caught by political opponents because of some insignificant incidents, and finally good things turned bad.

The second prince didn't want to win over Jiangnan from the beginning.

It was just under the guise of wooing the officials to face Jiangnan with a bad attitude.

If Jiangnan couldn't bear to attack the officials for no reason, he could make use of the issue to make matters worse, and finally rushed to the position that Jiangnan had easily obtained.

It's just that he didn't expect that Jiangnan directly drove the officials out.

The plan fell through.

After a long silence, the second prince suddenly said, "Auspicious, didn't the deacon of the Xiuyi Mansion come to the Ministry of Rites to select servants for Lord Najiang two days ago?"

The official was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Your Highness, there is indeed such a thing."

As a result, the second prince's brows gradually relaxed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, the officials felt cold all over and shivered.

He knew that whenever the second prince showed such an expression, it meant that someone was going to be unlucky.
.
After driving away the official, Jiang Nan took out the letters again.

Open one by one.

The letter from Utie Kingdom was from Princess Huaisu, saying that she had been established as the successor of Emperor Utie.

He also mentioned the dead prince, saying that a certain noble concubine had given birth to a child who was [-]% similar to the prince, and the eunuchs and maids privately rumored that it might be the reincarnation of the prince.

Seeing this, Jiang Nan smiled dumbly.

The underworld has already been destroyed in the battle of gods, the six realms have also been broken, and the theory of reincarnation is basically impossible.

Unless it is a great power who has achieved success in cultivating the Tao, he can still use his great supernatural powers to leave behind and reincarnate to rebuild.

But Prince Wu Tie naturally didn't have that condition.

But that's fine, Jiang Nan knew that Huai Su's girl was extremely guilty of the prince's death, so it could make her think a little bit.

Put away Huai Su's letter and put it back in the pot.

The letter from Jiangnan to open Weishui was naturally written by Qi Jiuxiao. In addition to congratulating Jiangnan for being a Marquis, he also said that Weishui has now been unified, and there is nothing else.

As for the letters from Nanhuang Nanli Tribe, Huaiguang Holy Land, and Qinghua Holy Land, they congratulated Jiangnan on the feudal lord in a more official tone.

All that was left was the Sword Hut, the Holy Land of Taiyi, and the letters from Tianji Pavilion.

There are three letters from Taiyi Holy Land, except for the customary congratulations, the rest are personal letters from Li Yuan and Qiu Shuya.

Li Yuan said that he had broken through the fifth rank, and hoped to have the opportunity to meet Jiang Nan again.

As for Qiu Shuya, most of her letters were about barbecue.

She said that after she returned to the Holy Land, the countless rare seafood she had eaten could not compare to the meat roasted in Jiangnan that night.

Seeing this, even Jiang Nan couldn't help but blush.

Next came letters from Jianlu, one from Mo Qingshan and one from Mo Yizhen.

The two letters are not so official anymore, more like family chatting between relatives.

Mo Yizhen said that she had been promoted to the sixth rank, and she had fully understood Taishang's ruthless sword intent, and asked Jiang Nan to give her advice the next time she returned to the sword house.

In this regard, Jiang Nan is not afraid.

Now his swordsmanship supernatural powers have already been perfected, and Mo Yizhen should be able to do it.

As for Mo Qingshan, he told Jiangnan to come back to Jianlu for a reunion after the end of the year, and also reminded him to beware of the faction headed by Prime Minister Zuo Zhongshu in the Great Xia court.

Because this faction is relatively hostile to Jianlu, this time Jiangnan's feudal lord may hinder it.

Seeing this, Jiang Nan suddenly realized.

Because he suddenly remembered that in the raging battle between the two princes, Li Zuoxiang, the Minister of Zhongshu, was the second prince's biggest supporter.

Thinking of this, the reason why the official was so pampered just now is self-evident.

Jiang Nan took a deep breath, kept an eye out, and put away the letter from Jianlu.

Now, he only has the last letter left in his hand.

From Tianji Pavilion.

On Li Hanyi's ship back then, Da Xiuyi had told him that it was Tianji Pavilion who sent information about Jiangnan to Xiuyi's mansion.

Then, under Jiang Nan's bewildered eyes, he learned a secret.

Tianji Pavilion and Tongbao Pavilion are one family.

Therefore, as the holder of Tongbao Pavilion's Golden Cloud Token, it is reasonable for Tianji Pavilion to send a letter of congratulations.

Not surprisingly, it should also be an official statement.

But when he opened the envelope, he was stunned.

The whole letter is eloquent, like a chat between friends.

What's even more strange is that the person who wrote the letter was able to clearly know what happened in Wutie and Weishui in Jiangnan.

He saw that at the end, a signature fell into his eyes.

——Li Qingyun.

After a moment of stunned, the figure who pretended to be embroidered clothes to cheat food and drink came to Jiangnan's mind.

He claimed to be a member of Tianji Pavilion and studied under Master Shifang.He also admitted that Hongzhou's information was also passed on to Daxiuyi through his hands.

Finally, he sent his greetings to Jiangnan in the letter, and said that when he was named Marquis, he would come to congratulate him in person.

After reading it, Jiang Nan let out a long breath.

No wonder I asked Wang Chunyun to check the identities of the two embroidered clothes Li Qingyun afterwards, but found nothing.

It turned out that Li Qingyun's real identity came from the mysterious Tianji Pavilion.

Those guys who are best at news will naturally not leave any traces in the world.
.
Time passed quickly, and it was already dusk in a blink of an eye.

Just when Jiangnan was about to go out and eat something casually.

There was a knock on the door.

After getting Jiang Nan's permission, the door was pushed open.

Standing at the door was a young man who looked like a deacon in the pantry.

"Jiang Xiuyi."

The deacon Jiangnan had met once, his surname was Huang, and he was in charge of logistics in the tea room.

Deacon Huang saluted Jiangnan respectfully, "Her name is Ke'er, and she is the maid in charge of serving you. She was just sent from the Ministry of Rites today."

It was only then that Jiang Nan noticed that there was a young girl following behind him.

She was about fourteen or fifteen years old, her small body was wrapped in a somewhat loose jacket, and her small face was red from the cold in the snowstorm.

On her back was a large package issued by the Ministry of Rites, which seemed to contain some clothes and bedding.

At this moment, the girl was looking at Jiangnan timidly.

Every embroidered garment living in Qingfeng Mansion has a dedicated maid in the other courtyard.

This can be regarded as the benefit of Xiuyi Mansion.

And when it comes to the level of Jinxiuyi, there are even special butlers and military guards.

Although Jiangnan lives in the Luoqi Courtyard with golden thread embroidered clothes, the servants are equipped with the standard of iron embroidered clothes.

——There is only one maid in charge of food and lodging.

After all, the servants of the Embroidered Clothes Mansion of the imperial court are all assigned from the Ministry of Rites, and Jiangnan is just an embroidered garment with an outer finger, and according to the regulations, there should be nothing.

If the request is too much, it will be quite difficult to deal with the tea room.

Jiang Nan didn't want to embarrass them, so he offered to be unworthy of servants.

After all, he was used to being alone.

However, the tea room still brought him a maid to take care of his basic necessities.

"Excuse me, Deacon Huang." Jiang Nan cupped his hands.

After a few more polite words, Deacon Huang left.

Only the girl named Ke Er remained.

She bowed lightly, and said respectfully, "Master, my name is Ke'er."

I don't know if it was because of the weather, but Jiang Nan felt that she was trembling slightly.

With a smile in my heart, I thought that the maids trained by the Ministry of Rites would also be shy.

"Your name is Kerr, right?"

Jiang Nan beckoned her into the house, and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, I don't eat people, and I won't beat or scold you."

Maybe it was because Jiang Nan had no airs, the girl relaxed a little.

Jiang Nan took her to a room in Luoqi Courtyard, "Ke'er, you can live here from now on."

The girl nodded slightly, "Thank you, master."

"By the way, can you cook?" Jiang Nan asked suddenly.

Ke'er Zhenshou nodded lightly: "Master, don't worry, Ke'er can cook, wash, clean, tailor..."

"Okay, then I'll take you to the dining room."

There are some vegetables, meat and rice in the dining room provided by Luo Qiyuan, which were all prepared in the tea room before Jiangnan came yesterday.

In addition, there is a small pond in the yard with some fat fish in it; and a vegetable garden in the corner with fertile soil for planting.

It can only be said that it is worthy of the golden thread embroidered clothes level residence, and the details are also done extremely well.

However, Jiangnan is a lazy dog, so these few meals were all spent in restaurants on the street and in Jian Xun's yard.

Now that the maid Ke'er is here, she can just taste the handicraft of the maids trained by the Ministry of Rites.

After placing the salute in the room, Ke'er quickly rolled up her sleeves and got busy in the dining room.

Looking at her skilled and busy back, Jiang Nan's eyes revealed complex colors.

He has no relationship with Ke'er, but at her age, if she was placed in his previous life, she should be enjoying her youth carefree.

But this girl named Ke'er was cultivated by the Ministry of Rites to live for her master.

I don't have a life of my own.

The servants trained by the Ministry of Rites were either orphans from the people, or poor people who were unable to raise children who were sold into the Ministry of Rites, or the family members and servants of officials who had their homes confiscated.

In this society, they do not have any human rights.

Even in the Great Xia Kingdom, where the laws are strict and people pay for their lives, they will not be prosecuted for any crimes like a master's execution of a servant.

Back in the lobby, it was completely dark.

Jiang Nan sat at the dining table, waiting for his first meal in Luo Qi Yuan.

But the next moment, his leisurely expression suddenly changed.

The source of the accident lies in the doppelgänger at Beihai, Hongzhou.

When Jiangnan left Beihai, in order to stabilize the emotions of those voters, he left a clone to receive incense in the undersea kingdom of God.

And that avatar is connected with Jiangnan's main body.

It is equivalent to his third hand and fourth leg.

Therefore, in the Kingdom of God, no matter what happens, he will be able to know immediately.

These days, after being reshaped by the green lantern, the Kingdom of God is peaceful and peaceful.

Those elector girls who have been reborn have established a new home in the new kingdom of God, living as usual every day, and at the same time offering incense to the avatar.

Business as usual.

And the avatar Jiangnan is also trying to master the power of incense.

Use the power of incense to drive supernatural powers.

Then, an accident happened.

——The girl voter that Jiangnan met for the first time, when he saw Jiangnan in the sky perform the art of exhaling wind with incense, he actually imitated it.

Regarding this, although the avatar knew that it was impossible, he couldn't bear to hit this dazed girl.

But after a long trial, the girl actually displayed a weakened version of the Breathing Wind Technique!

Jiang Nan took a deep breath and suppressed the agitation in his heart!
For the first time, he saw the display of Qingdeng's supernatural power from someone else!

Although weak, and extremely unstable.

But it opens up a new path!

The elect, originally created by spirits to provide the power of incense, are extremely weak and impossible to practice.

But now, the voters in Jiangnan have shown the potential to practice supernatural powers!

As a result, ambition rose up in his heart like fire.

Whether it's Jianlu or Daxia, although they all have an inseparable relationship with him.

But other people's power is ultimately only someone else's.

No one can tell what the future holds.

When interests diverge, Jiangnan will not naively think that Daxia will stand by him unconditionally.

Therefore, the idea of ​​building power took shape in Jiangnan's mind very early on.

The original idea was to form a Conferred God Legion composed of spirits and monsters.

But it is difficult to implement.

After all, the spirits are scattered all over the world, and it would take too long to subdue them one by one.

But today, he saw new hope.

——The Chosen People of the Kingdom of God.

They will always be loyal to Jiangnan and will never betray.He also showed the aptitude to display supernatural powers.

In an instant, Jiangnan decided to let the various magical powers he mastered spread among the voters of the Kingdom of God!
Achieve a force that belongs only to you.
