Xia Zi announced this at the door, while Jin Jinzhi stood outside the Zichen Palace waiting.
Zhao Zhongquan hurriedly bent down and threw Yun Beiye at him, picking up the papers that had fallen to the ground.
"Jin Zhi is here? Let him in."
Yun Beiye looked at Xia Xiazi and said that his expression softened slightly when he heard that Jin Jinzhi had arrived.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects." Jin Jinzhi entered the Zichen Palace and bowed to Yun Beiye to greet him.
"Please take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xia Zi quickly stepped forward and placed a stool with a plush cushion in front of Jin Jinzhi. Jin Jinzhi smiled at Xia Zi.
Yun Duoduo was lying on the ground picking up the memorial she had accidentally dropped when she looked up and met Jin Jinzhi's gaze.
"The little princess is here too."
Jin Jin smiled and nodded at Yun Duoduo.
[How bright and sunny is Sumire's older brother!]
A beam of light shone obliquely from behind the bed and fell on Jin Jinzhi.
Yun Duoduo gave a dry laugh, straightened the hairpin in her hair, looked at her clothes, and hurriedly tidied her appearance.
Her current reaction is like when you've been staying home for a week, and you go out to take out the trash with greasy hair, and you happen to run into your crush.
"Jinzhi, you've come at the right time! I'm going to bestow a title upon the princess, so come and help me think of one!"
"The Ministry of Rites is full of pedantic and pedantic scholars; Duoduo doesn't like the names they come up with."
"A title ban?" Jin Jinzhi asked, sitting opposite Yun Beiye, somewhat puzzled.
"Yes, Jinzhi, you've heard, haven't you? The group that trafficked children in the capital has been investigated and dealt with."
Jin Jinzhi nodded solemnly, "Yes, I have heard about it."
"This is all thanks to Duoduo!"
"My daughter is truly a lucky star for Nanyang. During the New Year, she accompanied me out of the palace to inspect the people's conditions and discovered the basement where human traffickers were holding young children. Now, all these children have been rescued."
Yun Beiye succinctly explained the reason for bestowing a title upon Yun Duoduo.
"I see, Princess is indeed extraordinary." Jin Jinzhi looked at Yun Duoduo with approval.
"Then I must congratulate the little princess!"
Yun Duoduo's little face was flushed, and she lowered her head slightly, a little embarrassed.
"Zhao Zhongquan, show Jinzhi the title proposed by the Ministry of Rites."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Zhongquan, still holding the papers he had just picked up from the ground, placed them in Jin Jinzhi's hands.
Jin Jinzhi looked at the titles, "Yongning, Taiping, Yiyang..."
"hiss……"
He frowned slightly. "No wonder the little princess doesn't like it. These titles are too conventional and could be used on any princess."
"There's nothing particularly special about it."
"The little princess is so special that I believe she should be given a unique title."
"Yes, I completely agree with what Jinzhi said."
"Why don't you think of one, Jinzhi?" Yun Beiye stroked his chin.
Jin Jinzhi looked at Yun Duoduo, who winked at him. "You Rong, how about it?"
Princess Yourong.
"The ocean is vast because it embraces all rivers." Jin Jinzhi said, putting the papers with titles written on them back into Zhao Zhongquan's arms.
He walked to the table, glanced at Yun Beiye, who nodded, and wrote the two large characters "有容" (meaning "tolerance") on the white paper on the table.
“Since birth, the little princess has experienced many things that ordinary children never experience,” he said as he put the calligraphy brush away.
"But the little princess still has a kind heart and treats the people around her with kindness. When faced with danger, she will also step forward, just like this time, when she rescued the abducted child."
【That's right, I, Yun Duoduo, am no ordinary child!】
Yun Duoduo was very pleased to hear Jin Jinzhi's praise.
"Hmm, Yourong means all-encompassing. Princess Yourong, Duoduo, what do you think?"
"Father, Duoduo likes this name!"
No one has ever used this name before. Now that she has come to Nanyang, she will create her own future. She is not going to follow in other people's footsteps.
"Yes, that's very good." Yun Beiye nodded in satisfaction and smiled.
"Zhao Zhongquan!"
"Your servant is here."
"Duoduo's title will be 'Yourong'. You should have the Imperial Observatory and the Ministry of Rites choose an auspicious day for the investiture ceremony."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
...
After confirming the title, Yun Beiye asked Jin Jinzhi why he had come to the Zichen Palace to see him, "Jinzhi, how is the matter of the refugees being handled?"
"Your Majesty, I have settled the vagrants who have been loitering at the city gates and begging in the streets of the capital in wooden houses on the outskirts of the capital."
"As for cotton-padded clothes, food, and charcoal for heating, they are being distributed gradually."
"Because these cotton-padded clothes and charcoal are scarce resources in the capital, they need to be requisitioned from neighboring counties, which will take longer."
"Yes, it's good that you all share my burdens!" Yun Beiye nodded with satisfaction.
[Young heroes truly do emerge! This Jin Jinzhi is far more reliable than those old foxes in the court!]
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing..."
"I do not know..."
Jin Jinzhi pursed his lips, glanced at Yun Duoduo, and hesitated before speaking.
“Jinzhi, just say what you need to say. There are no outsiders here.”
However, this matter is too gruesome to be heard by the little princess.
Jin Jinzhi looked at Yun Duoduo, and seeing her innocent and curious expression, he smiled. "It's like this. When I was settling the refugees in the city, I heard some rumors and gossip."
"But is it about the court officials?"
Yun Beiye asked him, hoping that these rumors weren't about his precious daughter.
"That's right. Rumor has it that half a month ago, an official who was on good terms with Tan Biao bought five dancers from Yihonglou and gave them to Tan Biao. After that, these five dancers seemed to have vanished into thin air."
"Disappeared without a trace?" Yun Beiye frowned, gesturing for him to continue.
"Yes, although these five dancers were redeemed from the Yihonglou, their contracts are still with the Yihonglou. After the madam of the Yihonglou found the contracts, she went to the Tan residence to return them."
"This document requires the signatures and fingerprints of these five dancers, but the madam waited for a long time at the gate of the Tan residence and still couldn't see the five dancers."
"Normally speaking, people who come from brothels value their registration certificate highly. Only by having this certificate in their own hands can they escape the slave status of brothel women and become good citizens."
Yun Duoduo listened intently. "Therefore, these five dancers certainly wouldn't leave the madam of Yihong Pavilion waiting outside the mansion, nor would they fail to retrieve such an important deed."
"Rumors are circulating everywhere..."
Jin Jinzhi paused, then continued, "Every day, screams of agony emanated from deep within Tan Biao's residence for five consecutive days. On the sixth day, however, it was eerily quiet."
