At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

Yu Yunxuan felt heartbroken when she heard this. She originally thought that the prince was outside the palace and she could use her beauty to make the prince look at her a few times, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince..." Yu Yunxuan wanted to say something but was interrupted by the Crown Prince.

"Okay, this prince still has things to do. Xin'er, let's go." After saying that, the prince took Yu Yunxin's hand, turned around, got into the carriage and drove away.

Watching the prince's back as he left, Yu Yunxuan burst into tears. She didn't understand why she was always looked down upon, and why no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get recognition from others.

The prince was worried that Yu Yunxin would be unhappy, so he immediately took out a set of headwear for Yu Yunxin. It was the headwear of the crown princess, with a lifelike golden phoenix that seemed to be about to spread its wings and fly high. The edge of the phoenix was inlaid with red jade, as if the phoenix was reborn from the fire.

"This is a headpiece I specially had made. Do you like the style of the phoenix? If not, I will have someone make a new one." The prince said as he handed the headpiece to Yu Yunxin, his eyes full of anticipation.

Yu Yunxin looked at it carefully for a few seconds. This ancient craft was so exquisite. How could she not like it?

"I like it!" Yu Yunxin took the headdress and replied happily.

Looking at Yu Yunxin's smile, the prince felt as if basking in spring breeze. His love for this woman grew stronger and stronger, and he wished he could marry her back to the East Palace right now.

He moved closer to Yu Yunxin and grabbed the hand of the beauty in front of him without hesitation.

"Xin'er, let's go to the suburbs to enjoy the flowers together. I know you like looking at flowers the most." The prince clenched his hands tighter and said softly.

Yu Yunxin was about to reply, but before she could say anything, the horse in the carriage suddenly started galloping for some unknown reason.

"Your Highness, the horse is frightened!" The driver hurriedly tightened the reins and shouted. With the joint efforts of Ruan Ming and the coachman, the carriage was finally stopped.

"Your Highness, someone has tampered with this horse." Ruan Ming said anxiously as he watched the horse fall straight down.

Just when the prince was about to hug Yu Yunxin tightly, the carriage suddenly shook violently. Yu Yunxin was caught off guard, lost her balance, and was thrown away from the prince by the huge inertia.

"Xin'er! How are you? Are you hurt?" The prince was anxious and stared at Yu Yunxin with concern, his voice revealing obvious anxiety and worry.

"I'm fine!" Yu Yunxin calmed herself down and tried to recover from the shock. She took a deep breath and tried to calm her panic, but there was still a hint of shock in her eyes.

However, the shaking just now was too violent and Yu Yunxin was unable to sit still. Her body softened and she fell involuntarily into the carriage.

When the carriage stabilized again, the prince could no longer suppress his anger, he suddenly lifted the curtain and looked sharply at the situation outside. He was stunned when he saw that one of the horses in the carriage had fallen to the ground for some reason, lifeless.

"What on earth is going on?" The prince's face suddenly became extremely gloomy. He stared at the fallen horse with anger flashing in his eyes. He knew very well that the condition of the horse in such a suburban area was related to the safety of their group. Now such an accident happened, which was really worrying.

Ruan Ming immediately went forward to check and saw that the horse on the left was foaming at the mouth. He looked at the coachman.

The driver was frightened by Ruan Ming's look and turned pale. He said, "Your Highness, I don't know! I always feed the horses well before we go out."

Ruan Ming looked at the prince and asked, "The prince is now in the suburbs. I think it would be better if I could change your horse and take you back?"

Upon hearing this, the prince looked at Yu Yunxin.

Yu Yunxin nodded and said, "Your Highness, I think we should go back." Yu Yunxin was also shocked by the sudden change. Now she has no internal strength. If Shangguan Hongling appears, she can only rely on Liu Xu Piaoyang who is not far away.

When the prince heard this, it seemed that the capital was too unstable after Concubine Wen was kidnapped last time. He must check the matter of his carriage when he returns and strengthen the security in the capital: "Ruan Ming, you change horses. You drive the princess back to the mansion first."

Ruan Ming immediately followed the prince's instructions and harnessed his horse to the reins of the carriage quickly. He then asked the coachman to sit on the other side of the carriage and drove the carriage himself.

After returning to the carriage, the prince looked at Yu Yunxin embarrassedly, "Xin'er, it seems that we can't go to appreciate the flowers together today."

Yu Yunxin looked at the prince with some regret. In order to calm the prince and herself, Yu Yunxin suggested, "Forget it. I think the weather is not very good today. Let's go back. Or we can go to the theater. Mingyang Tower has launched a new play today, which is "The Lotus Lantern."

The prince nodded immediately upon hearing this and said, "Okay, let's go to Mingyang Tower."

When Ruan Ming heard that he also liked watching plays, this was a good suggestion, and the snacks in Mingyang Building tasted good too, so he smiled and immediately quickened his pace.

The Journey to the West in Mingyang Building can be regarded as a perfect ending. Now she sold the script to the eldest princess, and she opened a musical theater. The decoration inside was built according to Yu Yun's suggestions. Not only the stage lighting background was built according to the standards of modern gymnasiums, but also it could accommodate more people. However, there were very few first-class boxes.

The Opera House is open to all men and women as long as they buy a ticket to watch the opera, acrobatics and drama. These dramas are naturally the plays that have been performed in Mingyang Building. Although it is a second-hand play, "Journey to the West" is played a hundred times regardless of the era, and no one will get tired of it.

Now there are more takeaway snack stalls outside the theater, especially cheap and affordable braised pork, mutton and beef offal. Now the price of pig offal in Beijing has also increased by half, but Yu Yunxin is not afraid. She has a breeding farm in Liuzhou, outside the capital. As long as they want to make money honestly in the capital, Yu Yunxin and the princess will give them a chance. The princess specially built the stalls near the theater for the sake of beauty and neatness, and there is also income from the stall fees every month.

There is also a teahouse next to the opera house, which was also built by the princess and Yu Yunxin. Those who don't want to spend money on tickets can go to the teahouse to listen to the storyteller's story of "Journey to the West". There are also comic books of Journey to the West on the second floor of the teahouse. One page is a beautiful illustration and the other page is a text. There are many people reading these comic books. Once they are launched, they are basically sold out.

We soon arrived at Mingyang Tower. Although Journey to the West is no longer being broadcast, there are still many people dining at Mingyang Tower.

"I wonder if this Precious Lotus Lantern is as good as Journey to the West?" Yu Yunxin heard these words as soon as she got off the carriage.

The prince also asked curiously, "Xin'er, do you think this "The Lotus Lantern" is good?"

"Products from Mingyanglou are of the highest quality." Yu Yunxin replied confidently.

Upon hearing this, the few people immediately quieted down and walked into Mingyang Building.

When the prince heard this, he was very happy and took Yu Yunxin's hand and went to the box on the third floor.

Yu Yunxin asked Mu Xue to prepare fruits for all guests on the third floor. This was also a special benefit for guests in the premium boxes.

It was a coincidence that the show was about to start in half an hour. Now on the stage, a separate background song was playing "Chinese Wind Journey".

"It's nice to come here just to listen to music!" Ruan Ming sighed as he walked into the box. He stood quietly at the door, closed his eyes, and immersed himself in the melodious singing.

"I didn't expect that it has been more than two months, Xin'er, and your Mingyanglou's business is still so good!" The prince stood at the window, overlooking the bustling crowd downstairs, and couldn't help but admire.

Hearing the prince's praise, Yu Yunxin smiled with joy. She said confidently, "Of course, whether it's the dishes or the script, I have put a lot of effort into it. I am very confident in my skills and creativity!"

Yu Yunxin walked lightly to the side of the prince and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, don't you plan to order something else? We have many signature dishes in Mingyanglou!"

The prince turned his head and stared at Yu Yunxin, his eyes flickering with ambiguity. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand, held Yu Yunxin tightly in his arms, and said softly: "The one I want to taste most is you, Xin'er..."

His words revealed a kind of desire and intimacy, which instantly flushed Yu Yunxin's cheeks. She lowered her head slightly, and a sweet feeling surged in her heart, but at the same time she was a little shy and at a loss.

"Your Highness, there are too many people here." After saying this, he pushed the prince away.

The boxes here are all half-open. If someone saw the scene just now, her reputation would probably be affected, and she might even be gossiped about and pointed at.

At this moment, Ruan Ming was standing at the door, closing his eyes tightly, immersed in the melodious song. However, when he opened his eyes, he was surprised to see the scene that just happened. The sudden situation made him feel at a loss, so he turned around and left the door without hesitation.

The prince was somewhat regretful of his impulsive behavior, but he couldn't help but secretly admire that Yu Yunxin's waist seemed to have become thinner. Just as he was wondering if anyone else had witnessed this scene, a loud gong sound suddenly came from the stage, interrupting his thoughts. The good show was about to begin, and all the troubles were temporarily thrown behind his mind.

The prince looked at Yu Yunxin tenderly with a shy face, smiled slightly, then gently handed her a piece of fruit and said softly: "Xin'er, watch the show!" He hoped that this way he could ease the awkward atmosphere.

Yu Yunxin took a piece of fruit, took a bite, and looked towards the stage.

With the experience of Journey to the West, Zhao Banzhu and his team designed the special effects, lighting, costumes and props perfectly. Both the actors and the backstage lighting showed the whole story vividly, and the story links were linked together and fascinating.

After the first play, a group of scholars found Mu Xue first and asked the shopkeeper directly: "This play is good! Our Ruyi Opera Troupe wants to buy your play."

Mu Xue raised her head when she heard the voice and looked at the rude people in front of her. The leader was Chen Wenjie, who had abandoned her.

Mu Xue tightly gripped the pen in her hand, looked at Chen Wenjie firmly, and said in a resolute tone: "We will never sell the scripts of our Mingyanglou!" Her voice carried a hint of anger and determination, as if she was making her position clear to Chen Wenjie.

Qiu Yong saw a group of people surrounding Mu Xue and immediately walked over to protect her behind him and said, "Everyone, she is just a woman. I am the owner of the troupe here. If you have any questions, come to me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wenjie looked at Qiu Yong and smiled, then said, "Ruyi Troupe? Have you ever heard of it? Your play is a complete copy of our Ruyi Troupe!"

Today, Wang Yuanxiang and Yu Yunxuan were also watching a play. When they heard a commotion coming from the counter, they curiously went over to see what was going on. When they heard that it was plagiarized from the Ruyi Opera Troupe, Wang Yuanxiang immediately became excited. She strode over and shouted, "Everyone, come and see! Mingyanglou actually plagiarized the Ruyi Opera Troupe's play!"

Seeing this, Yu Yunxuan was secretly delighted and dragged Mingyanglou and Yu Yunxin into the conversation. She said smugly, "Humph, this is the Mingyanglou opened by Princess Xingguo! They really dare to accept anyone, even plagiarizing opera troupes!" Anyway, now that Yu Yunxin and the prince have gone to the suburbs, she can discredit Mingyanglou as much as she wants without worrying about being exposed on the spot.

At this time, Yu Yunxin and the prince on the third floor also noticed the commotion downstairs. They looked from afar and saw a crowd gathered together, talking. Yu Yunxin couldn't help but frowned, thinking: "What's going on? Is someone deliberately making trouble?"

The prince looked at Yu Yunxin's worry and said, "Xin'er, don't be afraid, I'll go with you." After that, he looked at Ruan Ming who was standing outside the door.

Ruan Ming immediately felt his master's cold gaze and immediately followed the prince downstairs.

Wang Yuanxiang and the others started crying again as soon as Yunxuan finished speaking, "Everyone, you should stop coming to Mingyang Tower. Princess Xingguo doesn't even respect her elders and often criticizes us mother and daughter in the mansion."

Old Master Yu was also in Mingyang Tower. Hearing Wang Yuan's commotion, he immediately came over, found a stick from somewhere and started beating Wang Yuanxiang: "How can you be considered an elder to our Xin'er, a concubine? How could she be so harsh on you? Last year, Xin'er even gave her a set of jade headdresses worth tens of thousands of taels to her concubine's sister. I wonder which legitimate daughter treats a concubine's daughter so well."

When everyone heard this, they exclaimed, "Oh my god! A jade headdress worth tens of thousands of taels is a complete set for a concubine's younger sister. You can't find such a good legitimate sister in the entire capital."

"This winter, it snowed heavily and you didn't take care of the servants in the west courtyard, which caused the house to collapse. It was Tinghai who asked the concubine to take out the water jade headdress to exchange for silver to repair the west courtyard. Xin'er didn't ask you for a single copper." Old Lady Yu also walked over and said angrily in front of everyone. Wang Yuanxiang dared to slander Xin'er in front of the two elders without even checking whether the two elders agreed.

When Chen Wenjie heard how they were off topic, and the owner of Mingyang Tower was Princess Xingguo, he dared not offend her. He was about to leave the crowd when Mu Xue grabbed him and said, "How can you, the head of the Tongzhengsi, just leave like that? You said you were plagiarizing, so you have to give Mingyang Tower a clean name."

The two elders saw Wang Yuanxiang and Yu Yunxuan making trouble here and immediately said, "Wang Yuanxiang, hurry back to the mansion or I will ask Tinghai to kick you out of the mansion."

"Grandpa Yu, why is a concubine like Old Madam Yu still staying in the Yu Mansion? Get her out immediately!" The owner of the rice shop across the street, who had long disliked Wang Yuanxiang, said to Grandpa Yu.

"Lord Yu is a good official! It's a pity that he has a concubine who forgets his loyalty for the sake of profit. What a pity!" The rice shop owner sighed, "Five years ago, the Wang family had several rice shops. Do you know what your concubine Wang's eldest brother did?"

"Brother, please tell me what you want to say!" Old Man Yu asked anxiously.
