After sending Mrs. Changguo away, Ji Yun and Bingtang served Qin Yining and went back to the room to rest.
In the evening, Tang Xiu said back and forth: "Princess, someone from the Duke of Chang's mansion has sent a message saying that Duke Chang has agreed to your request."
Qin Yining heard the words, the grim expression on his face was relieved, and he let out a sigh of relief.
As long as Chang Guogong nodded, the matter has already become more than half.
The next day, Mu Jinghu went out in person and brought Duke Chang to the palace to avoid people's eyes and ears.
Duke Chang didn't expect Qin Yining to have such a good person by his side, let alone that the "chivalrous man" didn't take him out the door, but came over the wall, causing him to break out in cold sweat. , When he looked at Qin Yining again, his eyes became different.
It is really a pity that such a person can be so bold and decisive in doing things, and his methods are informal.
Qin Yining had a secret conversation with Duke Changguo for two hours.
In the dead of night, Mu Jinghu quietly sent Duke Chang back.
Except for Qin Yining and Chang Guogong, no one knew what they talked about.
Even apart from the two of them and Mu Jinghu, no one else knew that Duke Chang had come to the palace, and even Mrs. Chang who was closest to Duke Chang had no idea, and was still anxious about the matter of the youngest son.
The next day, Qin Yining asked Tang Xiu to bring out the ninth son who had been locked up for two days.
After being tied up for two days, no grain of rice was put in, no dripping water was touched, and the Ninth Young Master had lost half of his life. When he saw Qin Yining, his eyes filled with resentment, as if he wanted to eat people.
Mu Jinghu said, "You know what's wrong?"
Ninth Young Master gritted his teeth and stabbed his neck, and shouted with intent. One was that he had no strength, and the other was that he was afraid of the person in front of him. How could a woman from a good family still go out in the car in the middle of the night? This is what you asked for! I just ate a flower wine as usual, and I met you on the way, how did I know that the dignified princess can still go out in the middle of the night? I was caught by you, I am not wronged!"
As he was talking, Young Master Jiu was so angry that he burst into tears.
Qin Yining was amused by his shameless words, stepped forward two steps to the person sitting on the ground, and said condescendingly, "It's my freedom if I don't walk at night. If I walk at night, is it the reason for your rude words? Whether I want to walk at night or not, and whether you behave properly or not, are two different things. Could it be that you can blame others for your faults? It was me who you met this time. It’s cheap, but what if it’s a woman from an ordinary family?”
Too lazy to talk nonsense with this person anymore, Qin Yining said, "Just hit him ten boards and send it back to his father."
"Yes." Tang Xiu had already received Qin Yining's instructions, and strode forward with a plank.
Ninth Young Master's face turned pale with fright, and he kept saying, "You dare! You poisonous prostitute, you dare to beat me! My father is Duke Chang! If you beat me, my father will not let you go!"
"It's all this time and your mouth isn't clean? Hit me!"
Qin Yining flicked his sleeves and turned back to the room.
Soon, the sound of crackling boards and the wailing of Jiu Gongzi crying for his father and mother came from the yard.
The ten boards were quickly finished, and the ninth son didn't have the strength to cry, so Tang Xiu took someone to send it back to the Changguo Gongfu with the door board.
Ji Yun and Bingtang looked relieved and spat fiercely.
"Deserved, such a person should be taught a hard lesson!"
"That's right, no matter how much you teach him now, in the future, you don't know how many women this bad embryo will harm!"
But enough of the scolding, the two were a little worried. After all, the identity of Duke Chang was there.
"Princess, will Duke Changguo become angry, or bear a grudge against you?" Bingtang asked worriedly.
"Don't be afraid, I have my own arrangements. At this moment, I have another one that I want Tang Xiu to do. When Tang Xiu comes back, you can ask him to come."
"Yes." Bingtang nodded seriously.
Ji Yun smiled and said: "Princess, I have seen the roster of slaves and maids you gave, and contacted a lot of old people to come back according to the address above. This morning, some people have returned to the house one after another. It's just that there are still few people in the house. , do you want to buy some more?"
Qin Yining thought for a while, then smiled: "I don't need it anymore. Just use the old man in the house. You should pay attention to the purchase first. If there are suitable little girls, it is enough to find a few."
"Yes. The princess plans to keep a few little girls by her side?"
"Yeah." Qin Yining smiled, "In the future, when we have a stable life, I will find you a good husband and marry you both beautifully and beautifully. If you are willing, you can be by my side at that time. Madam in charge, the maid by my side will definitely not be enough, so prepare in advance now."
Ji Yun's face turned red, looking at it like this, it was really pink and peach cheeks, and his complexion was extraordinary.
"Princess, don't talk nonsense."
"Where am I talking nonsense?" Qin Yining blinked innocently, "Men should be married and women should be married, do I still keep you as an old girl? You will hate me by then."
"The princess knows nonsense." Ji Yun stomped her feet shyly, turned around and left.
Qin Yining and Bingtang couldn't help but laugh when they saw it.
After laughing enough, Bingtang asked: "Princess Princess, our palace is so big, but not all the old people can come back. I heard Ji Yun said, but only about 20 people were found, so the palace looks empty. ."
"It doesn't matter, if the house is empty, let it continue to be empty, and there is no need to renovate the mottled tiles on the wall, just maintain the state of discovery."
Bingtang didn't quite understand Qin Yining's intentions. Such a good Yuci mansion was so outdated and gloomy that outsiders could see it. I'm afraid he would gossip behind his back, saying that Prince Zhongshun was lonely, otherwise, how could the palace be so dilapidated? .
It's just that Bingtang knew that since Qin Yining did this, there must be an arrangement, so she did not continue to ask.
Not long after, Tang Xiu came to see Qin Yining.
Qin Yining asked Ji Yun and Bingtang to guard outside the door, and whispered a few words in Tang Xiu's ear.
Tang Xiu said in surprise: "What does the princess mean, you want to compile the deeds of the prince into a book and ask someone to tell?"
"Yes." Qin Yining said with a smile, "When you go out these days, you should observe carefully. There are many people who hear about books on weekdays, and those storytellers are more popular. As for the content of storytelling, we will use the time when the prince is fighting. those clips tell them."
Tang Xiu Ting's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again, "This is good, this is good! Princess, you don't know, Wang Ye is really powerful on the battlefield, Wang Ye uses his soldiers like a god, takes the lead, and is always the first to rush to kill, The last one to retreat, not to mention anything else, all the brothers in the army are very convinced by the prince. The prince treats the brothers with justice and never deducts food and wages. Sometimes he gets nervous and even fills up his own money to pay the brothers. …”
Tang Xiu obviously admired Pang Xiao, and when he talked about Pang Xiao's great achievements, he couldn't stop talking, and he said it like a bean.
Qin Yining nodded and said with a smile, "What you said is all very good, there are the princes who sacrificed their lives to save people for the safety of the people, and there are princes who are righteous and unwilling to slaughter the city, you can tell the storyteller all these. , teach them to learn, and speak in the most densely populated places in the city."
Qin Yining thought about it for a while, and then added: "Not only the previous achievements of the prince, but also the chaos between Yuchiyan and Nanyan Yuchi Xujie in the south this time. If the prince does not appear, I am afraid that Nanyan will be in trouble early. ."
Tang Xiu blinked. Anyone who knew about Nan Yan knew that it was not what Qin Yining said.
But in this kind of publicity, the reputation of the prince is getting better and better, which is not a bad thing.
Seeing that Tang Xiu understood, Qin Yining handed over the matter to him with a smile, and said with a smile, "When you have arranged it properly, I will go to hear about the book."
"Princess, do you still need to hear the book? You have already seen the matter of the lord in your eyes and recorded it in your heart."
"That doesn't delay me to join in the fun." Qin Yining said with a smile.
Tang Xiu also laughed, and eagerly went out to make arrangements.
Just when Tang Xiu took the time to contact Mr. Storyteller, the news that Princess Zhongshun had formed a feud with Duke Chang's family had spread like wildfire.
Some people didn't quite believe it, and felt that it was meaningless for Duke Chang to provoke Qin Yining for no reason.
However, the ninth son was beaten, and many people witnessed the miserable appearance of the door when he was brought back to the mansion of Changguo.
In addition, some people have secretly compiled several versions of the story of Qin Yining and the Duke Chang's family's "love and hatred", so word of mouth, the folks about how Qin Yining and the Duke of Chang's mansion formed a feud, Several versions have already been circulated.
So that within three or five days, from Qin Yining's feud with Chang Guogong, it became a feud between Pang Xiao and Chang Guogong, and the news was also rumored to be similar.
Qin Yining was in the mansion, listening to the news from various sources, and ate half a bowl of rice in a good mood.
"Princess, the teahouses in the city are now talking about the heroic deeds of the prince, pacifying Dayan, fighting thieves, and pacifying the Nanyan rebellion. Now eight out of ten people are talking about the prince's bravery and loyalty after tea and dinner. Some people have made up children's songs, and the children are singing them in the streets and alleys."
Tang Xiu smiled and said, "Now the storytellers are most passionate about talking about the prince's battles, which is no less exciting than "Three Kingdoms"."
Qin Yining laughed when he heard the words, "Then where have they been talking about recently?"
"Speaking of the prince's effort to pacify the chaos in the south without a single soldier. Yuchi Yan and Yuchi Xujie joined forces in the chaos, remembering that the military disaster disrupted the Great Zhou Dynasty, they provoked the relationship between the courtiers and intended to restore the Dayan Dynasty, but their treachery After being seen by the prince, the prince was just a little trick, Yuchi Yan and Yuchi Xujie began to rebel against each other, and Yuchi Yan also killed Yuchi Xujie, who had saved his life in the first place. Now the people are scolding Yuchi. Yan is not a thing."
Qin Yining nodded.
Tang Xiu added: "Anyway, the image of the lord of wisdom and courage has been spread all over the world. Even children pretending to be family wine are rushing to pretend to be the lord."
