Chapter 185: Reception banquet

Views:

Qi Lang was a little confused, so he was silent for a moment before he said, "According to the laws of the Ning Kingdom, you should be punished fifty times with a staff and compensate the injured person with a certain amount of silver."

Hearing this, Yun Shang evoked a faint smile, which landed on Qi Yu who was in a daze, and then turned to the trembling body of the housekeeper of Qi's house, then lowered her head to look at the silver peach blossoms embroidered on her skirt, He said softly, "Oh? My princess heard that at noon today, the third son of Qi ordered his servants to injure the son of the Li family in the west of the city in the Xiankelai restaurant. General Qi said, how should we deal with it?"

Qi Lang was shaken all over, his hands clenched into fists suddenly, his body was stained with a bit of hostility. But Yun Chang didn't seem to see her, her smile didn't diminish, and she turned her eyes to look at the fish in the pond, "It has been said in ancient times that a prince breaks the law and commits the same crime as the people. My concubine often hears Prince Jing talking about the general, saying that the general has something to do with his servants." Fang, rewards and punishments are clearly defined. When I entered Kangyang City today, I saw that the people in Kangyang City respected the general very much. Presumably the general will not disappoint many people, right?"

It has been a long time since anyone answered, but Yun Chang was not in a hurry and sat quietly.

"Naturally, if the law is not strict, there will be no governance, and if the law is not strict, the people will not be taught, and the general will deal with it according to the law." Qi Lang's voice was somewhat forbearing.

As soon as the words fell, Yun Shang heard Qi Yuzhi gritted his teeth and called out, "Father."

Qi Lang gouged out Qi Yu's eyes fiercely, kneeling on the ground respectfully, his complexion turned pale.

Yun Chang turned her eyes and glanced lightly at Qi Yuzhi, who had bulging veins on his forehead and an expression of disbelief, and wanted to laugh again, "General Qi is really as the prince said, rewards and punishments are clear. If so, then the princess will Don't delay General Qi's handling of this matter, it seems that people from the Li family are waiting for General Qi in the front hall." After speaking, Yun Chang glanced at the butler of the Qi Mansion who was visibly shocked, Shi Shiran stood up, With Qianyin's support, he went back to the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Garden.

"Princess, you have asked General Qi to beat his son so severely since you came here today. Will General Qi feel rebellious because of this? Now we are still living in this Qi Mansion. If we offend the people of Qi Mansion, What if they find a way to deal with us? As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a snake..." Qian Yin was a little worried, thinking about the expressions of General Qi and the third son of Qi just now, he felt a little worried.

Yun Shang looked calm, with a faint smile on her face, and slowly shook her head, "Since I came to Kangyang City after requesting a will, I can no longer pretend to be weak and harmless. It's weak, the more Qi Lang won't put me in his eyes, when the time comes, when Xia Jun comes to attack, I'm afraid he won't take it seriously."

Sighed softly, "I did this on purpose to let Qi Lang know that I am not as easy to bully as the rumors say, even if I am under his nose, I still have a way to spy on the people in Kangyang City." In this way, he will definitely feel a little jealous of me, and with my identity there, he doesn't care that I am a princess, but he can't care that there is Prince Jing behind me. In this way, even if it is As a play, he can only do enough of the play. He doesn't want me to catch his fault. When the time comes, he will definitely let me perform the duty of supervising the army, but he will try to make it difficult for me. I just need to bypass him The traps we set will be able to truly touch the battlefield... "

Yun Chang stared at the lines on the table, dazed in a daze, who said that those rough people who only know how to fight don't know how to twist and turn? I'm afraid their scheming is not as shallow as those housewives in the imperial city who are trapped in scheming all day long.

After such a toss, Yun Chang was really tired. Qi Lang spent the whole day in the battlefield, where real swords and guns were used to fight for their lives, and his body was also infected with some murderous aura. When confronting him, the murderous aura was particularly strong, which made people unable to exhaust themselves physically and mentally.

Yun Chang lay on the bed thinking about resting for a while, but she didn't want to. After falling asleep, it was already the next morning when she woke up again. After Yun Chang woke up, she felt a little headache, probably because she had caught a cold.

I couldn't help but frowned, since practicing martial arts, my body and bones have improved a lot, and I seldom get sick, but when I get sick, it is very uncomfortable.

Called Qianyin to come in to wait on her. Hearing that something was wrong with Yunshang's voice, Qianyin hurriedly called the secret guard to invite the doctor. As expected, she had caught a cold. The doctor prescribed the medicine, and Yunshang asked the servants to take the medicine. caught. Yunshang inspected it before letting Qianyin cook it herself.

After drinking the medicine, he got better, but he still felt a little weak, so he lay on the soft couch and read a book.

"Princess, my servant heard that General Qi really ordered someone to beat Mr. Qi with fifty sticks yesterday. At that time, you were asleep, and this servant made a special trip to check it out. Hehe, Mr. Qi screamed." The sound can be heard in the entire Qi mansion." Qian Yin smiled gloatingly for a while, and then said, "I heard that the servant girl heard that the fifth lady called almost all the doctors in the city to the mansion yesterday, crying so much The pear blossoms were raining, but it seems that General Qi reprimanded them afterwards."

Yun Chang curled her lips, Qi Yuzhi's mother was the fifth lady of the Qi Mansion, and I heard that she was once the daughter of the richest man in Kangyang City, so she was considered favored in the mansion, only because there was the richest man in Kangyang behind her , that's why Qi Yuzhi has always been favored, and he has become such a domineering appearance.

"I'm not afraid of Qi Lang and Qi Yuzhi, but this fifth lady, you have to be careful, this fifth lady is not simple." Yun Shang rubbed her temples, her voice was a little hoarse, she knew best, The woman in the deep house has many secret methods, and naturally she will not be underestimated.

Qianyin responded, and said with a smile, "Princess, someone contacted the servant yesterday, and the servant found out that the boss opened the store in the seemingly remote Kangyang City. It is really amazing. By the way, the boss has The letter is for the maidservant to deliver to the concubine." Qianyin said, then took out a piece of parchment from her bosom and handed it to Yunshang.

Yun Shang took it over, looked carefully, and then a big smile appeared on his face, "You are not wrong, Ning Qian is really amazing, she has only been in Xia Kingdom's imperial city for six or seven days, and she actually She was already taken by the eldest princess of Xia Kingdom, and was even taken to the princess mansion by the eldest princess."

Qian Yin was somewhat surprised, "Princess? When did the boss become a man and woman? Could it be that the princess also likes women? Or do you want to choose a concubine for the son-in-law?"

When Yunshang heard this, she couldn't help laughing, and tapped Qianyin's head with the parchment, "What are you thinking? The eldest princess is the sister of the Emperor Xia, and she wants to choose a beauty for the Emperor Xia to present. For the emperor of Xia, Ning Qian has outstanding looks and intelligence, so the eldest princess naturally chose her. Maybe after a while, Ning Qian will be able to enter the palace and become Xia's concubine."

"Hey?" Qianyin was stunned for a moment before laughing, "So it's like this... If the boss becomes a concubine, wouldn't many things be easier to handle?"

Yun Shang nodded, "Yes. It's finally good news..." Yun Shang returned the parchment to Qian Yin, "Deal with this thing."

Qianyin nodded, brought out a brazier, lit it with a torch, and threw it into the brazier. Seeing that the parchment was burnt to the point of ashes, he poured it out with water and took it out.

Yunshang had breakfast in the house, slept for a while, and then had lunch again. Just as she was thinking about going out for a walk, she heard a tired voice from outside, "Mistress Qi Please see Princess Jing."

Yun Shang paused for a while, then walked to the chair and sat down, and nodded towards Qianyin.

Qianyin raised the curtain, walked out, and brought a woman in after a while. The woman was about forty years old, with a very ordinary appearance and a little fat, but her complexion was very pale. Like a chronically ill person.

"My wife pays homage to Concubine Jing..." Mrs. Qi blessed her body and saluted Yun Shang.

Yun Chang stood up and gave her a little help, and helped her to stand up, and then said softly, "Madam Qi is polite, now this princess is a guest in Qi's mansion, logically speaking, I should go to see my wife Yes, it's just that I was a little tired from rushing on the road a few days ago, so I took a rest early, and when I got up today, I caught a cold, and I was afraid that my wife would get sick, so I delayed."

"Don't dare, dare not." Mrs. Qi smiled quickly and said with a bit of restraint on her face, and said after a while, "Wangfei is ill, can you summon the doctor?"

Yun Chang nodded, "I felt a little uncomfortable when I woke up in the morning. I have ordered the servant girl to send the doctor to see it. It's not a serious problem. It's just that I'm not in good health and I've been on the road for days, so I'm sick. I've already taken the medicine to get in the way. Madam Qi's health is better? Yesterday, my princess saw that it was Madam Seven who came to the front hall to entertain her. After asking General Qi, she found out that Madam Qi was not in good health..."

Mrs. Qi's expression paused when she heard the words, and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes. Although she was very fast, she was clearly seen by Yun Chang, "When you get older, your body is not so comfortable, and it's also some old problems. The princess misses you."

"If Madam lacks any medicinal materials, just ask. My concubine has brought a lot of medicinal materials, some of which are relatively rare." Yun Shang said with a smile, "The two sons who saw Madam yesterday are very talented. Madam is a lucky one with her heroic appearance."

Qianyin brought tea over and put it on the table next to the two of them. Yunshang picked up the teacup, the water temperature was just right, Yunshang lifted the tea cover and skimmed off the tea leaves floating on it. When she lowered her head, her eyelashes slightly Trembling, very gentle appearance. Seeing that Madam Qi was stunned for a long time, she smiled and said, "The concubine is ridiculously praised, but they are just two brats, and they are far from being a good-looking talent." pride.

Yun Chang slightly bent her eyes, took a sip of tea, and then said softly, "I heard that Mr. Qi San was punished fifty times by General Qi yesterday. I don't know how he is?"

The smile on the corner of Mrs. Qi's mouth was a little cold, "Thanks to the concern of the concubine, it is Yuzhi who has gone too far. This fifty sticks is the punishment he deserves. He is young and has a strong body, so there is nothing serious."

"That's good." Yun Chang smiled softly.

"Wangfei came to Kangyang City. The general ordered his ministers to prepare a welcome banquet for Wangfei yesterday. It was originally planned to be tomorrow night, but if Wangfei is ill, it may as well postpone it for a few days." Qi Only then did Madam reveal her real purpose for coming.

Yun Chang smiled and nodded, "Let's postpone it for a few days, it's because my princess's body is too disappointing. When the body is a little better, I will let someone tell the madam, and the madam will make arrangements."

Mrs. Qi seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and she chatted with Yun Shang for a while, concerned about whether she was used to being in the mansion, and then left the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Garden.

Yun Chang leaned on the soft couch, the corners of her mouth slightly raised. It seems that this Qi Mansion is not a peaceful place either.

Qianyin sent Mrs. Qi out to go back to the house, and then said softly, "Look at Mrs. Qi's appearance, she should be very unfavorable. No wonder General Qi doesn't let her come out to meet guests. I'm afraid it's not because she's sick, but because she feels shameful." Bar."

"You, you only saw the surface of the matter, but didn't see the hidden part inside." Yunshang said, seeing Qianyin looking at Yunshang with a curious look in her eyes, Yunshang said softly, "When Mrs. Qi married Qi Lang, Qi Lang was just an ordinary farmer in the countryside. It was not easy for Mrs. Qi to follow General Qi all the way to this day. Qi Lang has three sons, two of whom were born by Mrs. Qi Although Mrs. Qi is not beautiful, I am afraid that she has an irreplaceable position in General Qi's heart. Moreover, I am afraid that her means are not bad. General Qi now has seven wives and concubines, but only the fifth wife and one son, and nothing else. So, don't underestimate this lady..."

Qianyin opened her eyes wide and nodded again and again, "The princess is really amazing."

In the next few days, almost all the wives in Qi's mansion came to visit, except for the fifth and seventh wives.

Yun Chang knocked on the table, with a bit of thought in her eyes, the two ladies have already been offended by herself, the seventh lady blamed General Qi for letting a concubine serve tea on the day she entered the mansion, and the fifth lady, Probably it has something to do with Qi Yuzhi.

Yun Chang's body gradually improved, and Yun Chang sent a letter to Mrs. Qi, and Mrs. Qi replied, saying that she would hold a banquet for her in Qi's mansion two days later.

It has been the seventh day since Yunshang came to Kangyang City, but Xia's team really did what the shop waiter said, except for occasionally calling the team to stay far away, there was no other action.

Prince Xia and Liu Yinfeng, what exactly do they want to do? Yun Chang frowned, thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out why.

"Princess, the prince has a letter..." Qianyin hurried in, holding an envelope in her hand.

Yun Chang was taken aback for a moment, thinking that she was leaving in a hurry, and she was afraid that after she left, the steward of the palace would send a letter to King Jing.

He... I'm afraid he will be angry, right? Yunshang thought in her heart that she had expressed her desire to come to Kangyang before, but he rejected it. She came here privately without discussing with him...

Yun Chang received the letter, but didn't open it for a long time.

"Princess? The prince wrote you a letter? Why don't you open it?" Qianyin couldn't help but urged, with a bit of teasing on her face.

Yun Chang shook her head with a smile, thinking that she was thinking wildly before she saw the letter, but it didn't look like her style at all, so she simply opened the envelope with a piece of paper stuffed inside, Yun Shang took it When he came out, he couldn't help but frown, why, this paper... looks wrinkled

There was some doubt in my heart, but I still opened the folded paper, but was stunned, and turned over the letter paper again.

No? Yun Chang opened her eyes wide and waited for the paper in her hand, looking back and forth, there is indeed not even a word on the letter paper

"Huh?" Qianyin made a suspicious voice, took the paper in Yunshang's hand, looked at it for a while, and said, "Princess, did the prince take it wrong? Why is there not even a word on this paper?"

Yun Shang didn't respond, and couldn't figure out what was going on in her heart, so she sighed, took the letter back from Qianyin's hand, put it in an envelope, and put it aside.

"It should be taken by mistake." Yun Chang murmured softly, suppressing the slight sense of loss in her heart.

When the Qi Mansion held a banquet for Yunshang, Qianyin dressed Yunshang early, and when it was almost time, she went to the place Mrs. Qi said.

The place where the banquet was held was in the courtyard behind the front hall of the Qi Mansion. There were corridors all around the courtyard, and the corridors were full of lanterns, illuminating the courtyard like daytime. A stage was set up on the south side of the courtyard. So many tables were set up.

When Yunshang arrived, the courtyard was full of people, Qi Lang and Mrs. Qi stood at the door and waited for Yunshang. As soon as Yunshang came, the two quickly led Yunshang to the north side of the stand. Sat down at the table.

As soon as Yun Chang took her seat, she noticed the appreciating eyes from all directions, but she remained calm, smiling quietly, and exchanged greetings with Mrs. Qi.

On the main table, except for Qi Lang and Mrs. Qi, there are people Yun Shang has never seen before, both men and women. Yun Chang glanced around lightly, and her eyes fell quietly on the stage in the distance. On the stage, several actors were sitting or standing, some were playing the piano, some were ringing the bell, and some were beating the drum.

Qi Lang stood up with a deafening voice, "Today's banquet is for Concubine Jing, and Concubine Jing came from a long distance, bringing the emperor's condolences and blessings. Today, we are still in Kangyang City. Those who can speak will represent the tens of thousands of people in Kangyang, and thank the princess and the emperor."

Everyone stood up one after another, held up their wine glasses, Yun Chang smiled lightly, stood up too, made a toast to everyone, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

Everyone applauded and drank all the wine in their glasses.

When everyone sat down, the opera had already started to sing on the stage, singing "Mulan".

The actor on the stage played Hua Mulan as a delicate-looking woman without a trace of heroism, and he just played the role of the female general who would not give way to a man.

Yun Shang heard a soft snort from below, "It's just a woman who only knows romance, she really thinks she can be a hero and save the country from danger... Women should be kept in deep boudoirs, and embroidering flowers is the most important thing." Come on, you still want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy? I'm afraid that when you actually reach the battlefield, you will be so scared that your legs will go limp."
