Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Ye Bingshang soon tasted the suffering that the Grand Princess had predicted for her.

However, Jiang Xinxin thought that Tan Tai Jin was the most troublesome person in the General's Mansion, because she had seen him talking to birds and beasts more than once. Of course, Jiang Xinxin didn't think it was strange that in a world with immortals, there was a person who could talk to birds and beasts. After all, she had heard of the reputation of the Yi Yue tribe since the Spring Silkworm incident.

It is said that the biological mother of Tan Tai Jin was a princess of the Yi Yue tribe. She married the former emperor of Jing, Tan Tai Wuji, for the safety of her tribe. Tan Tai Wuji's queen not only gave birth to his disciple, Tan Tai Minglang, but also saved his life. However, when she saw the princess of the Yi Yue tribe, she forgot about the entire harem and executed the queen and her mother's clan on the charge of overshadowing her master.

Even if the princess of the Yi Yue tribe had not died in childbirth, the legitimate prince Tan Tai Minglang would have been implicated and killed.

Tan Tai Wuji had no intention of loving his son Tan Tai Jin, who was born at the risk of his life by the Yi Yue princess. Instead, he believed that Tan Tai Jin was the culprit who killed his beloved Concubine Rou. He only sent two maids from the Yi Yue tribe to send the infant Tan Tai Jin to Sheng State as a hostage.

Now that it has been discovered that Tan Tai Jin has the ability to communicate with birds and beasts, it is possible that Tan Tai Jin can use this ability to pass messages to Jing State. Jiang Xinxin still wants to rely on the General's Mansion for a few more years, but she cannot let the General's Mansion be involved in any conspiracy because of Tan Tai Jin.

Then Jiang Xinxin discovered that there seemed to be birds following her recently. Her heart immediately skipped a beat, and she found a convenient excuse to come to the Grand Princess.

The eldest princess was really kind to Jiang Xinxin, because she was loyal to Ye Xiwu and could control Ye Xiwu a little. So when she saw her coming in with a serious face, she immediately ordered people to clear the area. Jiang Xinxin even added boldly: "Don't let any birds get close."

Everyone in front of the Grand Princess was very confused and turned to see what she meant. The Grand Princess told them to listen to Jiang Xinxin without hesitation. After everyone left, Jiang Xinxin said directly: "Old Madam, I saw my uncle talking to birds and beasts a few days ago. I originally thought that my uncle was just a lonely person, but then I remembered that his biological mother seemed to be from the Yiyue tribe who could communicate with birds and beasts. Then I found that there were always birds following me, and I was worried about my uncle..."

The eldest princess' heart trembled, and her eyes became sharp. She took off the red jade bracelet on her wrist and put it on Jiang Xinxin. She said with a look of relief, "Back then, I just felt sorry for you because you lost your father at a young age and were treated harshly by your elders. I agreed to let you enter the mansion just on a whim. I didn't expect that the general's mansion would benefit from you."

Jiang Xinxin quickly expressed her loyalty: "The mansion is doing well, and we servants can also live in peace. There are countless refugees outside now, and even the mansion provides free porridge and medicine from time to time. Now such a safe and stable life is what many people dream of."

Hearing Jiang Xinxin talk about the situation outside, the eldest princess also sighed a little. It was rare to have a smart and broad-minded young man in front of her. The eldest princess couldn't help but reveal her deep worries: "The Ye family is now the backbone of Sheng State, but since ancient times, military generals have always been regarded by their superiors as having great achievements. It is a blessing for the Ye family that the eldest daughter can marry the King of Xuancheng, but the hostage of Jing State was pushed out by the palace to live in the general's mansion. It's hard to say what will happen in the future!"

The eldest princess usually seemed to be completely occupied by Ye Xiwu's affairs. In fact, she was also worried about the future of the Ye family. Perhaps at the beginning she did not have a clear understanding of the palace's attitude towards the Ye family, but ever since Ye Xiwu used the Spring Silkworm in the palace, the series of events that followed were enough to alert her.

Tan Tai Jin didn't know that his act of using birds to monitor the capital had been discovered. He was now living a very good life in the general's mansion, so good that he had given up the idea of ​​returning to Jing Kingdom, even though he knew that Emperor Sheng in the palace intended to let him go back to compete for power with Tan Tai Minglang.

However, he was still very grateful to Xiao Lin for pleading for him in front of Emperor Sheng. After all, Xiao Lin was the first person he had met in Sheng Kingdom who had only complete kindness towards him.

Although he was grateful, Tan Tai Jin did not hesitate to trap Xiao Lin.

It was Xiao Lin's birthday that day. Since it was not a full birthday, and Xiao Lin wanted to find something for Ye Bingshang to do, he asked the palace to let him celebrate his birthday in the palace.

Xiao Lin's original intention was to find something for Ye Bingshang to do, not to make her tired, so for the time being, only male guests were invited, and there was no intention of inviting female guests. Ye Bingshang naturally did not need to go to the front to greet the guests, and could only stay in her own yard at the back.

On Prince Xuancheng's birthday, all the dignitaries in the capital had to attend the birthday banquet, but not everyone could receive an invitation to Prince Xuancheng's Palace. As the top dignitaries in Sheng State, the General's Mansion had the old lady, the Grand Princess, in the family. Even if they did not have the face of Ye Bingshang, Prince Xuancheng's concubine, they had to send someone to attend the birthday banquet.

However, this time, the Xuancheng Palace did not host a banquet for the female members of the family, so Ye Xiwu naturally lost the opportunity to meet Xiao Lin. She was very unhappy when she was at home.

Jiang Xinxin was actually quite curious as to why Ye Xiwu couldn't stop thinking about Xiao Lin.

Ye Xiwu was happy to explain Jiang Xinxin's doubts. "Actually, think about it, when I first met the Sixth Prince, I remembered him. At that time, he was standing in the crowd. Although he was not the tallest, nor the most slender and good-looking, he was very eye-catching. I saw him as soon as I walked over..."

Thinking of Xiao Lin and her own experience at that time, Ye Xiwu couldn't help but reveal a very relaxed and happy smile on her face, "I have known since I was a child who is sincere to me and who is fake to me. The Sixth Prince is the first person who is sincere to me besides my grandmother and father."

Jiang Xinxin sighed in her heart. Ye Xiwu said that Xiao Lin had been sincere to her, but the sincerity of the Grand Princess and the General to her was worth studying.

As if sensing what Jiang Xinxin was thinking, Ye Xiwu tilted her head and looked at Jiang Xinxin, smiling and saying, "Grandma is really doing this for my own good. Daddy is kind to me mostly because he feels guilty, and other people are kind to me because of Grandma's power. But you, Xiao Jiang, are very different. You seem to be indifferent to me, but I know you are different from them. You seem to be glowing."

Jiang Xinxin was even more confused. What did "you look like you're glowing" mean?

It couldn't be that the Coptis chinensis water that she soaked in every half a month had turned her skin yellow, giving Ye Xiwu the illusion.

Ye Xiwu said seriously: "Xiao Jiang, you have to believe me, I am not wrong. When I first saw you, I saw that you were shining with golden light. The light looked intimidating but not dazzling. I even couldn't help wanting to get close to you. When I am with you, I can always control my bad temper."

Having said that, Jiang Xinxin actually believed some of the incredible things Ye Xiwu said. After all, Ye Xiwu had been willing to listen to anything she said since the first time they met. And no matter how angry Ye Xiwu was, she would always calm down quickly once she opened her mouth.

Tan Tai Jin heard all these words through the crows outside the window. He did not think that Ye Xiwu was lying, because he realized better than Ye Xiwu that there were not only humans in this world, but also demons, ghosts, immortal cultivators, and gods.
