Chapter 183: The Feast of the Wind

Qi Lang was a little confused. He was silent for a moment and then said, "According to the law of Ningguo, you should be punished with fifty rods and a certain amount of silver should be paid to the injured person."

Hearing this, Yun Shang evoked a faint smile, which fell on Qi Yuzhi who was dazed, and then turned to the trembling body of Qi Mansion's housekeeper. Then she lowered her head and looked at the silver peach blossoms embroidered on her skirt.

She said softly, "Oh? I heard that at noon today, the third son of Qi ordered his subordinates to injure the son of the Li family in the west of the city in the Cyclamen Restaurant. General Qi said, how should we deal with it?"

Qi Lang was shocked, his hands suddenly clenched into fists, and his body was tainted with a bit of violence. However, Yun Shang seemed to have not seen him before, his smile did not diminish, and he turned his eyes to look at the fish in the pond, "Since ancient times, there have been

Yun, when a prince breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the people. I have often heard Prince Jing talk about the general, saying that the general has good command of his subordinates and clear rewards and punishments. I entered Kangyang City today and saw that the people in Kangyang City respect the general very much. I must have

The general will not disappoint so many people, right?"

No one answered for a long time, but Yun Shang was not in a hurry and sat quietly.

"Naturally, if the law is not strict and the people are not disciplined, the general will be dealt with according to the law." Qi Lang's voice was a little forbearing.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Shang heard Qi Yuzhi grit his teeth and shout, "Father."

Qi Lang gave Qi Yu a hard look and knelt on the ground respectfully, his face turning pale.

Yun Shang turned her eyes and glanced at Qi Yuzhi, who had bulging veins on his forehead and looked unconvinced, and wanted to laugh again, "General Qi is indeed as the prince said, with clear rewards and punishments. In this case, then I, the princess, will

I won't delay General Qi to deal with this matter. It seems that the Li family is waiting for General Qi in the front hall." After saying that, Yun Shang glanced at the Qi Mansion housekeeper who was obviously shocked, and Shi Shiran stood up.

Qianyin helped me back to the Juyuan Garden.

"Princess, as soon as you came here today, you asked General Qi to beat his son so sternly. Will General Qi have thoughts of rebellion because of this? We are still living in Qi Mansion. If we offend the people of Qi Mansion,

What if they try to deal with us? As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake..." Qianyin was a little worried, thinking about the expressions on the faces of General Qi and the Third Young Master Qi just now, she felt a little worried.

Yun Shang's expression was calm, with a faint smile on his face, and he slowly shook his head, "Since I came to Kangyang City after asking for a will, I can no longer pretend to be weak and harmless.

It's because I'm weak, the less Qi Lang will take me seriously, when the time comes, when Xia Jun comes to attack, I'm afraid he won't take it seriously at all if I put forward any opinions."

He sighed softly, "I did this deliberately 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 monitor the people in Kangyang City.

Everything. In this way, he will definitely be a little wary of me, and with my identity there, he may not care that I am a princess, but he cannot care that there is Prince Jing behind me. At this point, even if

He can only put on a show, and he doesn't want me to catch his mistakes. When the time comes, he will definitely let me perform the duties of supervising the army, but he will try every means to embarrass me. I only need to bypass him.

If you set a trap, you can truly touch the battlefield..."

Yun Shang looked at the lines on the table and was in a daze. Who said that those rough guys who only know how to fight don't know how to twist and turn? I'm afraid their scheming is no better than those in the imperial city who are trapped in calculations all day long.

The deep-seated woman in the house is shallow.

After all this tossing, Yun Shang was really tired. Qi Lang had been in the battlefield all day long, where real swords and guns were used to fight to the death. His body was also infected with some murderous aura, and he faced him.

At that time, the murderous aura was particularly strong, making people unable to feel physically and mentally exhausted.

Yun Shang lay down on the bed and wanted to rest for a while, but she didn't expect that when she woke up again it was already the morning of the next day. After Yun Shang woke up, she felt her head hurt, maybe she had caught a cold.

I couldn't help but frown. Since practicing martial arts, my body and bones have improved a lot. I rarely get sick, but when I get sick, I feel very uncomfortable.

He called Qian Yin to come in and wait. Qian Yin heard that something was wrong in Yun Shang's voice, so she hurriedly asked the secret guard to fetch the doctor. She really caught a cold. The doctor prescribed the medicine, and Yun Shang asked his servants to take the medicine.

Caught it. Yun Shang checked it out before letting Qianyin go and do it in person.

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

"Princess, I heard that General Qi really ordered someone to beat Third Young Master Qi with fifty sticks yesterday. You were asleep at that time, and this servant made a special trip to have a look. Hehe, Third Young Master Qi was screaming so pitifully.

The sound could be heard by the entire Qi Mansion." Qian Yin laughed happily for a long time, and then said, "I heard that the fifth lady called almost all the doctors in the city to the house yesterday, and they were so crying.

The pear blossoms brought rain, but it seemed that he was reprimanded by General Qi later."

Yun Shang curled her lips. Qi Yuzhi's mother was the fifth lady of the Qi Mansion. I heard that she was once the daughter of the richest man in Kangyang City. She was considered favored in the manor. I'm afraid because there was the richest man in Kangyang behind her.

, so Qi Yu’s talents have always been favored, and he has become such a domineering and domineering person.

"I'm not afraid of Qi Lang and Qi Yuzhi, but you have to ask someone to keep an eye on this fifth lady. This fifth lady is not simple." Yun Shang rubbed her temples and her voice was a little hoarse. She knew best.

The woman in this deep house has a lot of secret tricks, so naturally she won't underestimate them.

Qianyin responded and said with a smile, "Princess, someone contacted me yesterday, and I just found out that the boss actually opened his shop in Kangyang City, which seems to be a little remote. It's really amazing. By the way, the boss has

The letter is for the slave to give to the princess." Qianyin said, then took out a piece of parchment from her arms and handed it to Yun Shang.

Yun Shang took it and looked at it carefully before a big smile appeared on her face, "You're right, Ning Qian is really amazing. It only took her six or seven days to arrive at Xia Kingdom's Imperial City.

The eldest princess of Xia Kingdom has already taken a fancy to her, and she was even taken to the princess's mansion."

Qianyin had a bit of surprise on her face, "Eldest princess? When did the boss become a man-in-law? Does the eldest princess also like women? Or does she want to choose a concubine for the prince-in-law?"

Hearing this, Yun Shang couldn't help but laugh, and tapped Qianyin's head with parchment, "What are you thinking about? That eldest princess is the sister of the Emperor of Xia, and she wants to select beauties to donate to the Emperor of Xia.

For the Emperor of Xia Kingdom, Ning Qian is very outstanding in appearance and intelligence, so the eldest princess naturally chose her. Maybe after a while, Ning Qian will be able to enter the palace and become the concubine of Xia Kingdom."

"Huh?" Qianyin was stunned for a moment before laughing, "So that's it...if the boss becomes a concubine, wouldn't many things be much easier to handle?"

Yun Shang nodded, "Yes. It's finally good news..." Yun Shang returned the parchment to Qian Yin, "This thing will be dealt with."

Qianyin nodded, brought out a brazier, lit it with a fire stick, and threw it into the brazier. He watched the parchment burn until only ashes were left, then he doused it with water and took it out.

Yun Shang had breakfast in the house, slept for a while, and then had lunch. Just as she was thinking about going out for a walk, she heard a voice that sounded a little tired from outside, "Mother of the Qi family,

Please see Princess Jing."

Yun Shang paused for a moment, then walked to the chair and sat down, nodding towards Qian Yin.

Qianyin lifted the curtain and walked out. After a while, he brought a woman in. The woman looked about forty years old, her appearance was very ordinary, and she was slightly fat, but her complexion was very pale.

Like a chronically ill person.

"My wife pays homage to Princess Jing..." Mrs. Qi blessed herself and saluted Yun Shang.

Yun Shang stood up and gave her a weak hand to help her stand up before speaking softly, "Mrs. Qi, you are polite. Now I am a guest in the Qi 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. I woke up a little bit cold today, and I was afraid that my wife would be over sick, so I was delayed."

"I don't dare, I don't dare." Mrs. Qi smiled quickly and said with a bit of restraint on her face. After a while, she said, "If the princess is sick, can the doctor be summoned?"

Yun Shang nodded, "I feel a little uncomfortable when I wake up early in the morning. I have already ordered the maid to call the doctor. It's not serious. It's just that my health is not good and I have been traveling for days, so I am sick. No.

The trouble is that she has already taken the medicine. But Mrs. Qi's health is feeling better? Yesterday, I saw Mrs. Qi coming to the front hall to entertain her, and after asking General Qi, I found out that Mrs. Qi was not in good health..."

When Mrs. Qi heard this, her expression paused, and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes. Although it was very fast, Yun Shang could see it clearly, "As people get older, their bodies are not so smooth. They also have some old problems.

The princess misses you."

"If Madam is short of any medicinal materials, just ask. I have brought a lot of medicinal materials, including some rare ones." Yun Shang said with a smile, "The two young men who saw Madam yesterday are quite talented.

With her heroic appearance, Madam is a lucky one."

Qianyin brought tea and put it on the table beside them. Yun Shang picked up the tea cup. The water temperature was just right. Yun Shang opened the tea lid and skimmed the tea leaves floating on it. When he lowered his head, his eyelashes slightly fluttered.

It was trembling and looked very gentle. Mrs. Qi was stunned for a while, and then she said with a smile, "The princess is so ridiculous. They are just two young boys, far from being a talented person." Even so.

As he spoke, there was a bit of pride in his eyes.

Yun Shang slightly rolled his eyes, took a sip of tea, and then said softly, "I heard that the third young master of Qi was punished by General Qi for fifty with his staff yesterday. I wonder how he is doing?"

The smile at the corner of Mrs. Qi's mouth was a bit colder, "Thanks to the Princess's concern, Yuzhi has been too reckless. These fifty sticks are the punishment he deserves. He is young, has a strong body, and has nothing serious."

"That's good." Yun Shang said with a soft smile.

"The princess is here in Kangyang City. The general ordered his wife to prepare a wedding banquet for the princess yesterday. It was originally planned to be tomorrow night, but if the princess is sick, it might as well be postponed for a few days." Qi

Only then did the madam reveal her true purpose of coming.

Yun Shang smiled and nodded, "Let's postpone it for a few days, because my princess's health is so unsatisfactory. When her health is a little better, I will have someone tell Madam, and Madam will make arrangements."

Mrs. Qi seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief. She chatted with Yun Shang for a while and asked whether she was used to being in the mansion before leaving the Jujuyuan Garden.

Yun Shang leaned on the soft couch and raised the corners of her mouth slightly. It seemed that Qi Mansion was not a peaceful place.

Qianyin sent Mrs. Qi out and back to the house, then she said softly, "Looking at Mrs. Qi's appearance, she must be very unpopular. 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 things, but you didn't see the hidden part inside." Yun Chang said, seeing Qian Yin looking at Yun Chang with bright eyes, looking curious, Yun Chang 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 where he is today. Qi Lang has three sons in total, two of them were born to Mrs. Qi.

Although Mrs. Qi is not beautiful, she still has an irreplaceable position in General Qi's heart. Moreover, her methods are not bad. General Qi now has seven wives and concubines, but only the fifth wife has a son. The others have nothing to show for.

.So, don’t underestimate this lady..."

Qianyin opened her eyes wide and nodded repeatedly, "The princess is so amazing."

In the next few days, almost all the ladies in the Qi Mansion came to visit, except for the Fifth Madam and the Seventh Madam.

Yun Shang knocked on the table, with some contemplation in her eyes. The two ladies had already been offended by her. The seventh lady blamed General Qi for letting a concubine serve tea on the day she entered the house, and the fifth lady,

I'm afraid it has something to do with Qi Yuzhi.

Yun Shang's health gradually improved, so Yun Shang had someone send a message to Mrs. Qi. Mrs. Qi replied and said that she would hold a banquet for her in the Qi Mansion in two days.

It was already the seventh day that Yun Shang came to Kangyang City. However, the Xia army was indeed as the waiter said. Apart from occasionally calling for formations at a distance, there was no other action.

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

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

Yun Shang was stunned, thinking that she had left in a hurry, and was afraid that after she left, the palace steward would send a letter to Prince Jing.

He... I'm afraid he will be angry, right? Yun Shang thought in her mind that she had expressed the idea of ​​coming to Kangyang before, but he rejected it. She came privately without discussing with him...

Yun Shang received the letter, but did not open it for a long time.

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

Yun Shang smiled and shook her head, thinking that she was thinking wildly before she saw the letter, but it was not like her style at all, so she simply opened the envelope, and there was a piece of paper stuffed inside, which Yun Shang took.

When he came out, he couldn't help but frowned. Why, this paper... looks wrinkled?

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

No? Yun Shang opened her eyes wide and waited for the paper in her hand. She looked back and forth. There was indeed not even a word on the letter.

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

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

"I must have taken it by mistake." Yun Shang murmured softly, suppressing the faint feeling of loss in her heart.

When the Qi Mansion hosted a banquet for Yun Shang, Qian Yin dressed up Yun Shang early, and when the time was almost up, she headed towards the place Mrs. Qi had mentioned.

The place where the banquet was held was in the courtyard behind the front hall of Qi Mansion. There were corridors all around the courtyard. The corridors were lit with lanterns, which made the courtyard look like day. There was a stage set up in the south of the courtyard. Under the stage

Many tables were set up.

When Yun Shang arrived, the courtyard was already full of people. Qi Lang and Mrs. Qi stood guard at the door waiting for Yun Sang. As soon as Yun Shang arrived, they quickly led Yun Shang to the balcony above the stands in the north.

Sat down on the table.

As soon as Yun Shang sat down, she noticed eyes looking at her from all directions, but she remained calm and smiled quietly while chatting with Mrs. Qi.

On the main table, except for Qi Lang and Mrs. Qi, there were people Yun Shang had never seen before, both men and women. Yun Shang glanced around lightly, and his eyes fell quietly on the stage in the distance.

On the stage, several actors were sitting or standing, some playing the piano, some ringing the bell, and some beating the drum.

Qi Lang stood up and said in a deafening voice, "Today's banquet is to welcome Princess Jing. Princess Jing has come all the way here with the emperor's condolences and blessings. Today, we can still speak in Kangyang City.

Those who can speak will express their gratitude to the princess and the emperor on behalf of the thousands of people in Kangyang."

Everyone stood up one after another and picked up the wine glasses. Yun Shang smiled softly, stood up, made a toasting gesture towards everyone, raised her head and drank the whole drink.

Everyone cheered and drank all the wine in their glasses.

When everyone sat down, singing began on the stage, and the song was "Mulan".

The actor on the stage played Mulan, but it was a pretty woman with no trace of heroic spirit. She just played the womanly female general in a tender and affectionate way.

Yun Shang heard a soft snort coming from below, "She is just a woman who only knows romance, but she really thinks she can be a hero and save the country from danger... Women should be raised in a boudoir and embroider flowers."

That’s it, why are you still thinking about going to the battlefield to kill the enemy? I’m afraid that when you actually get to the battlefield, your legs will become weak from fear.” (To be continued)
