After sending off Duke Chang's wife, Ji Yun and Bing Tang served Qin Yining back to his room to rest.
In the evening, Tang Xiu came back and said, "Princess Consort, someone from Duke Chang's residence has sent word that Duke Chang has agreed to your request."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yining's stern expression relaxed, and he quietly let out a long sigh of relief.
As long as Chang Guo Duke nodded his head, the matter would be more than halfway done.
The next day, Mu Jinghu personally led Duke Chang to the prince's residence without being noticed.
Duke Chang did not expect Qin Yining to have such a skilled person by his side. He also did not expect this "chivalrous person" to not bring him through the door, but over the wall. He was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat. When he looked at Qin Yining again, his gaze was different.
It was a pity that such a person was a woman who could do things so boldly and decisively, and her methods were not restrained by trifles.
Qin Yining and Duke Chang had a secret conversation for four hours.
In the dead of the night, Mu Jinghu silently sent Duke Chang back.
Other than Qin Yining and Duke Chang, no one knew what they talked about.
Other than the two of them and Mu Jinghu, no one else knew that Duke Chang had come to the prince's residence. Even Duke Chang's wife, who was closest to Duke Chang, did not know. She was still anxious about her youngest son.
The next day, Qin Yining asked Tang Xiu to bring out Jiu Gongzi, who had been locked up for two days.
After being tied up for two days, without eating or drinking, Jiu Gongzi was half dead. Once he saw Qin Yining, his eyes were filled with hatred.
Mu Jinghu said, "Do you know your mistake?"
Jiu Gongzi gritted his teeth and straightened his neck. He wanted to shout, but he did not have the strength. Secondly, he was afraid of the person in front of him. After a long while, he squeezed out, "I did nothing wrong! What did I do wrong! Think about it, which decent woman would go out in a carriage in the middle of the night? You brought this upon yourselves! I was just going to have a drink with a courtesan and met you on the way. How would I know that a princess consort would go out in the middle of the night? In the end, I was captured by you guys. I was wronged! "
As Ninth Young Master spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.
Qin Yining was amused by his shameless words. He took two steps forward and stood in front of the person sitting on the ground. He said condescendingly, "It's my freedom whether I want to walk at night or not. I walked at night, is that the reason for your rude remarks? Whether or not I am willing to walk at night, and whether or not you behave properly, are two different things. Are you going to push all the blame onto others? You met me this time. I have a lot of people around me, so I didn't let you take advantage of me. But what if it was a girl from an ordinary family? "
Qin Yining didn't want to waste any more time with this person. He said, "Beat him ten times with the plank and send him back to his father."
"Yes." Tang Xiu had already received Qin Yining's instructions. She strode over with a wooden plank in her hand.
Ninth Young Master was so scared that his face turned pale. He said, "How dare you! You vicious whore, how dare you hit me! My father is the Duke of Chang Guo! If you hit me, my father won't let you off! "
"You still haven't cleaned your mouth at a time like this? Beat him! "
Qin Yining flicked his sleeves and went back into the house.
Soon, the sound of the plank cracking and Ninth Young Master's wailing could be heard from the courtyard.
The ten planks were quickly finished. Ninth Young Master didn't even have the energy to cry. He asked Tang Xiu to bring people to send him back to the Duke of Chang Guo with a wooden plank.
Ji Yun and Bing Tang vented their anger and spat fiercely.
"Serves him right. This kind of person should be taught a lesson!"
"That's right. If we don't teach him a lesson now, who knows how many girls this bad guy will harm in the future!"
However, after scolding enough, the two of them were a little worried. After all, the Duke of Chang Guo's status was there.
"Princess Consort, will the Duke of Chang Guo fly into a rage out of humiliation or hold a grudge against you?" Bing Tang asked worriedly.
"Don't worry. I have my own arrangements. Right now, I have another matter for Tang Xiu to do.
When Tang Xiu comes back, ask him to come over. "
"Yes." Bing Tang nodded seriously.
Ji Yun smiled and said, "Princess Consort, this servant has looked through the register you gave me. According to the address on it, I contacted many old people to come back. This morning, people have already come back to the residence one after another. However, there are still not enough people in the residence. Do you want to buy more? "
Qin Yining thought for a moment and said with a smile, "There's no need. Just use the old people in the residence first. Pay attention to the purchasing matter first. If there are suitable young maidservants, just find a few will be enough. "
"Yes. Does Princess Consort plan to keep a few young maidservants by your side? "
"That's right." Qin Yining said with a smile, "In the future, when our lives are stable, I will find you a Ru Yi husband and marry you off in a grand manner. If you are willing, then you can be a steward's wife by my side. At that time, I will definitely not have enough maidservants by my side, so I am preparing in advance."
Ji Yun's face immediately turned red. Looking at her, she really had a rosy face and peachy cheeks. Her appearance was outstanding.
"Princess Consort, don't talk nonsense.
”
"How am I talking nonsense?" Qin Yining blinked innocently. "Men should get married when they are of age and women should get married when they are of age. Don't tell me I will keep you as an old maid forever? At that time, I'm afraid you will hate me. "
"Princess Consort only knows how to talk nonsense." Ji Yun stomped her feet in embarrassment and turned to leave.
When Qin Yining and Bing Tang saw this, they couldn't help but laugh.
After laughing enough, Bing Tang asked, "Princess Consort, our residence is so big, but not all of the old people from before can come back. I heard from Ji Yun that only about twenty of them were brought back. This way, the residence seems too empty."
"It's not a big deal. If the residence is empty, then let it continue to be empty. There is no need to renovate the mottled walls and tiles. Just maintain the current situation."
Bing Tang didn't understand Qin Yining's intentions. Such a good residence bestowed by the emperor, but it was very old and gloomy. If outsiders saw it, they would probably gossip behind their backs and say that Prince Zhongshun was lonely. Otherwise, how could the residence be so dilapidated?
However, Bing Tang knew that since Qin Yining did this, he must have made arrangements, so she didn't continue to ask.
Not long after, Tang Xiu came to see Qin Yining.
Qin Yining had Ji Yun and Bing Tang stand guard outside the door. He whispered a few words into Tang Xiu's ear.
Tang Xiu said in surprise, "Princess Consort, you mean to tell people about Wang Ye's deeds in a book?"
"Yes." Qin Yining said with a smile, "When you go out these few days, observe carefully which places have the most people listening to storytellers and which storytellers are more popular. As for the content of the storytelling, we will tell them about the scenes of Wang Ye's battles. "
Tang Xiu's eyes lit up when she heard this. She nodded repeatedly, "This is good, this is good! Princess Consort, you don't know, but Wang Ye was really too mighty on the battlefield. Wang Ye led the troops like a god. He was always the first to charge and the last to retreat. Not to mention anything else, all the brothers in the army were very impressed by Wang Ye. Wang Ye was also very righteous towards his brothers. He never embezzled the provisions. Sometimes, when he was nervous, he would even supplement his own silver to pay his brothers … … "
Tang Xiu clearly worshipped Pang Xiao. When she talked about Pang Xiao's great deeds, she couldn't stop talking. She was so enraptured that she was spilling beans.
Qin Yining nodded repeatedly as he listened. He smiled and said, "What you said is very good. Also, there's the part where Wang Ye sacrificed himself to save the lives of the people. In addition, there's also the part where Wang Ye was extremely righteous and refused to massacre the people in the city. Tell all of these to the storytellers and teach them how to tell them in the most crowded places in the city."
Qin Yining thought for a moment, then added, "It's not just about Wang Ye's past achievements. There's also the conflict between the Yuchi Yan and the Southern Yan Commandant Chi Xujie in the South this time. If Wang Ye didn't show up, I'm afraid that the Southern Yan Commandant would have already started a war."
Tang Xiu blinked. Those who knew the inside story of the Southern Yan Commandant knew that it wasn't like what Qin Yining said.
But with this kind of publicity, Wang Ye's reputation would become better and better. This wasn't a bad thing.
Seeing that Tang Xiu understood, Qin Yining smiled and handed this matter over to her. He even said with a smile, "After you've made the arrangements, I'll go listen to the storytellers."
"Wang Fei, do you still need to go listen to the storytellers? You've already seen Wang Ye's matter and recorded it in your heart. "
"That won't stop me from going to join in the fun," Qin Yining said with a smile.
Tang Xiu also smiled. She rubbed her palms together and went out to make the arrangements.
Just as Tang Xiu was spending time contacting the storyteller, the news of the enmity between the Prince Zhongshun's Imperial Consort and the Chang Country Duke's family had spread.
Some people didn't believe it and felt that there was no meaning in the Chang Country Duke offending Qin Yining for no reason.
However, Ninth Young Master was beaten with a plank and carried back to the Chang Nation Duke's residence. Many people had witnessed his miserable appearance.
Other than this, there were also people who made up many versions of the story of the "love and hate" between Qin Yining and the Chang Country Duke's family. Through word of mouth, there were many versions of how the enmity between Qin Yining and the Chang Country Duke's fu came to be.
As a result, in just three to five days, the enmity between Qin Yining and the Chang Country Duke became the irreconcilable enmity between the Pang Xiao and the Chang Country Duke. The news was even spread quite well.
Qin Yining was in the fu. Hearing the news from various sources, he was in a very good mood and ate half a bowl of rice.
"Wang Fei, the tea houses in the city are all talking about Wang Ye's heroic deeds. He pacified the Dayan, fought the bandits, and quelled the Southern Yan rebellion. Right now, eight out of ten people were talking about Wang Ye's bravery and loyalty during their leisure time. Someone even made up a children's song and the children are singing it in the streets and alleys.
”
Tang Xiu smiled and said, "Right now, the storytellers are the most enthusiastic about talking about Wang Ye's campaigns. The level of excitement is not inferior to 'Three Kingdoms'."
Qin Yining laughed when he heard this. "Then what have they been talking about recently?"
"They were talking about how Wang Ye didn't use a single soldier to pacify the chaos in the south. The Yuchi Yan and Yuchi Xujie joined forces to rebel. They wanted to use the military to disrupt Da Zhou, so they tried to sow discord between the court officials in an attempt to restore the Dayan dynasty. In the end, their evil plan was seen through by Wang Ye. Wang Ye only used a little strategy, but the Yuchi Yan and Yuchi Xujie started to rebel. The Yuchi Yan even killed Yuchi Xujie, who had saved his life. Right now, the commoners are cursing the Yuchi Yan for being a good-for-nothing. "
Qin Yining nodded.
Tang Xiu continued, "In any case, Wang Ye's image of being both intelligent and courageous has already spread far and wide. Even children are fighting to pretend to be Wang Ye when they play house. "
