At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

Yu Yunxin patted her chest confidently and comforted, "Don't worry! These few days I plan to hold two grand new product fashion shows directly in Mingyang Building and the Song and Dance Theater. It will definitely attract many customers to watch, and our new products will surely sell out." Her eyes were shining with excitement, as if she had already seen the lively fashion show scene.

"By the way, I'm afraid it's still as cold as an ice cellar in the north," Pang Jinhua asked with a worried look on her face.

"Are you planning to prepare some clothes for General Mu?" Yu Yunxin smiled sweetly, and like a magic trick, she took out a few sets of sweaters and said coquettishly, "I have already prepared them. My grandfather, uncle, and three cousins ​​all have them."

"Princess, when did you prepare so much?" Pang Jinhua asked in surprise.

"There were so many refugees during the snowstorm last year, so of course we had to prepare for a rainy day." Yu Yunxin looked at Pang Jinhua and smiled as brightly as a spring flower.

Pang Jinhua said, "My old man Mu wants to invite you to my house today. The regent traded a lot of jade with the princess, and he brought them all back personally this time."

"Okay, I'll go with you later." Yu Yunxin said as she handed Pang Jinhua a set of long-sleeved cardigans.

After Pang Jinhua took the clothes, she brought the princess to the Mu Mansion. The Mu Mansion is much bigger now than before. As soon as they entered the Mu Mansion, they heard the sound of Mu Yihe reading.

"Now Yihe has his own study room and a teacher. Although he is only a scholar, he has devoted himself to Mu Yihe and Shenghe." Pang Jinhua said happily.

"The princess has finally got you here." As soon as Mu Zhongye went out, he saw Pang Jinhua leading Yu Yunxin walking towards him, as if he had seen his savior.

"General Mu, I hope you are well." Yu Yunxin said respectfully.

"Well, now I can hand over the task you gave me to your second uncle and fifth cousin. Come on, I will tell you all the details." Mu Zhongye said as he invited Yu Yunxin into his house and poured her a cup of tea.

"This Lan Yishen is such a ruthless man! Now he controls the entire Southern Dian Kingdom, and the people of the Southern Dian tribes worship him as a god. Humph, it's all because he relies on the two giant pythons as pets! He asked for some seeds of the fruits and vegetables you brought over, and asked the people over there to plant them. As for some crops, he sent people to Nanling County to learn farming from the people." Mu Zhongye said.

"It seems that Lan Yishen is indeed a smart man." Yu Yunxin took a sip of tea and said.

"Princess, I sent Boss Yang's people to deliver your things. They will be placed in the manor in the suburbs. Here is the transaction list of Southern Yunnan. You can count it when the time comes." After Mu Zhongye finished speaking, he took out a few documents and handed them to Yu Yunxin.

She took the receipt and glanced at it. Most of the items on it were jade, but there were also some pearls and agates. What was even more unexpected was that there were also seafood and medicinal herbs. These should have been things that Hu Li's people had come into contact with Lan Yishen's men so that both sides could get the greatest benefits.

“Princess, the people you left in Nanling County are really powerful. Ever since His Majesty agreed to make Nandian a vassal state of Dacheng, your people have been doing business with the people of Nandian, attracting many jade merchants and other goods merchants. Wangshan County and Shangyang County are very lively now, especially your Kangzhuang town, which is really bustling.” Mu Zhongye was very excited when he talked about Nanling County and Nanchuan Mountain.

Yu Yunxin also often received letters from Qiu Yingying and Xuan Zi. She could guess the specific changes from the items and banknotes sent before the Chinese New Year.

After chatting for a while, Pang Jinhua asked the servants in the mansion to go to Mingyang Tower to prepare a table of hot pot, and Yu Yunxin had lunch at the Mu Mansion.

During the meal, Mu Yihe carved a few jade sculptures, this time lifelike animals.

"Brother Yihe, your carving skills have improved a lot!" Yu Yunxin liked these palm-sized jade carvings very much and said with a smile.

"As long as Princess likes it, I'm glad. When I have time, I will make some jewelry for mother. She always buys them and says that she is saving money for me to get married." Mu Yihe said childishly.

When Mu Zhongye heard this, he laughed and said, "My son is really capable of making money at such a young age."

"That's my reliable sister, the princess. She has earned thousands of taels of silver, much more than mother!" Mu Yihe had just finished speaking when Pang Jinhua said, "A child can't take so much money. Take it out and let your mother keep it for you."

"No, this is what I earned from painting. Princess said that this is all hard-earned money." After Mu Yihe finished speaking, he slipped back to his room.

Watching the mother and son chasing and playing, Yu Yunxin couldn't help but feel envious.

After finishing their meal at the Mu Mansion, Yu Yunxin brought Chunyu, Qionglou and others to the manor in the suburbs. The manor is still expanding, mainly to build weaving and spinning workshops.

Now she makes knitted sweaters, and as long as the women nearby can knit, they can take them home and knit them themselves. The price is based on the piece and quality. The women nearby are very happy to earn this money. If they have a new knitting method or come up with a new knitting method, Yu Yunxin will give them a reward of five to ten taels, which makes these women study new knitting methods whenever they have time.

When we arrived outside the manor, the first thing that caught our eyes was the more than 20 carriages full of goods that were neatly arranged and stretched out in an endless line. Each carriage was fully loaded with goods.

When Yun Xin's carriage slowly approached, Xuan Zi immediately went forward without hesitation. Her steps were light and firm, and her eyes revealed respect and expectation for the princess.

"Princess!" Xuan Zi's voice was clear and pleasant, as beautiful as the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley.

Yu Yunxin smiled slightly and got off the carriage. Her eyes quickly swept over the woman in front of her who looked a little haggard due to the journey, but she did not blame her at all. Instead, she comforted her softly, "It's really hard for you to come all the way here."

Xuan Zi nodded gratefully and continued, "Princess, in fact, we came here specially this time because of Boss Hu's idea." After that, she pointed to the middle-aged man standing next to her and continued to introduce, "This is Qian Yi, the shopkeeper Qian. He has been in charge of the trading affairs in Southern Dian. This time, I came here to discuss the next cooperation matters with you, Princess."

"Hello, Princess!" Shopkeeper Qian said with a nod and a bow, looking at Yu Yunxin with respect.

"General Mu has handed the list to the princess, right? I took the initiative to buy and sell some medicinal herbs and seafood. I hope the princess won't blame me."

"Manager Qian, you are too kind. How could this princess blame you? By the way, Manager Qian, is the Southern Dian Kingdom close to the sea?" Yu Yunxin asked, blinking her big curious eyes.

"In reply to the princess, there is indeed a coral island south of the Southern Dian Kingdom. The seafood, corals, agates and pearls there are so dazzling! I was stunned at the time." Shopkeeper Qian became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he was on that beautiful island. Then he could not wait to introduce the treasures in the carriage to Yu Yunxin one by one.

"Princess, look! These are pearls of various colors. When I collected them, I asked the local fishermen to sort them by color. There are five boxes of pearls in total!"

Yu Yunxin took a look and saw that the colors and sizes were indeed classified. She nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad. I didn't expect that Shopkeeper Qian was so reliable. These pearls can be taken back to Pinyuxuan for processing and made into various accessories."

"Princess, you have not only corals and agates, but also a lot of sea cucumbers and abalone over there. The locals are sitting on a treasure mountain. The fishermen over there don't like these. They are just ordinary stones to them. I exchange them for vegetables and fruits." After saying this, Shopkeeper Qian showed five carts of seafood to Yu Yunxin.

There were various corals and agates of different colors, as well as palm-sized scallops, abalone and sea cucumbers, all of which were of better quality than the ones Hu Lili gave her last time. She was dazzled by the sight.

"That's great! Shopkeeper Zhao, please send these scallops, sea cucumbers and abalone to Mingyanglou as soon as possible. With these top-quality seafood, Mingyanglou's business will surely reach a higher level!" Yu Yunxin praised these seafood products highly and was secretly delighted in her heart because it meant that she was about to reap a huge profit.

Then, she carefully checked the two carts of jade, but still couldn't find crystal chalcedony. Perhaps this precious chalcedony is really rare and can only be obtained by chance.

Yu Yunxin stared at the corals of various shapes in front of her, pondered for a moment, and then instructed: "Chunyu, tomorrow you go to the capital and invite a few experts to come and taste these corals and agates."

Upon hearing this, Chunyu immediately nodded respectfully and said, "Don't worry, Princess. I know what to do." He knew very well that the princess had extremely high taste and requirements for jewelry and rare stones, so he took on the task without hesitation.

After checking these things, Yu Yunxin set off on her journey back to Beijing. She sat in a spacious and comfortable carriage, the wheels rolling forward, raising a cloud of dust. Along the way, her thoughts were all on making money, and her heart was filled with joy.

When the carriage was about to arrive in the capital, Yu Yunxin saw from afar a gorgeous carriage parked at the city gate. She was puzzled, wondering who the carriage belonged to. As the distance got closer, she finally saw clearly that the person standing next to the carriage was actually the prince!

Yu Yunxin opened the curtain in surprise, and her eyes fell on the prince sitting outside the carriage. She asked softly, "Your Highness, why are you waiting for me here?" There was a hint of surprise and confusion in her voice.

When the prince saw Yu Yunxin, a happy smile immediately appeared on his face. He jumped off his carriage without hesitation and quickly got on Yu Yunxin's carriage. As soon as he got on the carriage, he couldn't wait to hug Yu Yunxin tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to merge her into his body.

Yu Yunxin was startled by the prince's actions, but soon she felt the warmth and strength in his arms. She quietly snuggled in his arms, feeling his heartbeat and breathing. At this moment, time seemed to stop flowing.

"Xin'er, in three days, I will leave the capital and go to Beirong to negotiate with the King of Beirong." The prince hugged Yu Yunxin tightly and said softly.

Yu Yunxin trembled slightly when she heard this. She raised her head, her beautiful eyes full of worry: "Is there no other more suitable candidate in the court? With your status as the crown prince, why do you want to go to negotiate in person?"

The prince gently stroked her hair and consoled her: "This is the suggestion of Wang Taifu. However, my second brother just wants to take this opportunity to make me look bad during the peace talks with Beirong, so as to shake my position. But don't worry, with your grandfather and his escort, I will definitely return safely. After I return to the capital, no one will be able to shake my position as the crown prince. Then, you can be at ease to be my crown princess."

When he said the last sentence, the prince's eyes involuntarily fell on Yu Yunxin's delicate and tempting lips, and a spark of desire flashed in his eyes.

Yu Yunxin was keenly aware of the prince's gaze, and her heart tightened. She subconsciously tried to avoid his burning gaze, but before she could move, the prince's two hot lips had already covered her lips. This sudden kiss was as light and short as a dragonfly touching the water.

At this moment, they were near the city gate, surrounded by people coming and going, so the prince naturally did not dare to act too presumptuously. After a gentle kiss, the prince slowly let go of Yu Yunxin, his mouth slightly raised, revealing a playful smile, and said softly: "Okay, come back with me to have dinner."

Yu Yunxin's cheeks instantly turned red, like a ripe apple, and her shyness was beyond words. She lowered her head, not daring to look the prince in the eye, but her heart was as flustered as a deer beating wildly. Under the prince's gaze, she nodded silently.

"Hmm!" She broke away from the prince's embrace and said, "I will cook for you myself."

When the prince heard this, his face immediately showed joy and he replied, "Great!"

The carriage drove quickly towards the Princess's Mansion and arrived at the destination in a short while. However, just as the carriage stopped, another carriage also stopped at the door of the Princess's Mansion.

The prince was puzzled when he saw this and asked, "Is that Nangong Jue's carriage? Why did he come to the Princess's Mansion?"

"Princess Xingguo!" With a loud shout, Nangong Jue rushed out of the door like an arrow, and his target was the slowly approaching carriage that Yu Yunxin was riding in.

After a while, the carriage stopped and the curtain was lifted. First, the prince walked out of the carriage, followed by Yu Yunxin, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, who got out gracefully.

"Nangong Jue, why are you here?" Almost at the same time when the two appeared, the prince's malicious gaze was firmly fixed on Nangong Jue like a nail.

Facing the question from the Crown Prince, Nangong Jue did not dare to neglect it. He immediately bowed and saluted, and replied respectfully: "Your Highness, I naturally have something to ask Princess Xingguo?"

Upon hearing this, the prince immediately asked, "How is Uncle Wang doing recently? Is he feeling unwell?"

Nangong Jue smiled slightly and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. My father has been blessed by the emperor and is now in good health and doing well."

Yu Yunxin turned to look at the prince, then shifted her gaze to Nangong Jue and said softly: "Young Prince, you rarely have some free time today, why don't you stay and spend a while with the prince." After that, she walked towards the kitchen.

Seeing this, the servants in the mansion hurried forward and invited Nangong Jue and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into the spacious and bright living room. Afterwards, they quickly served fresh and delicious fruit cakes, and took out the long-treasured top-grade high mountain cloud tea, and carefully filled a cup for the two guests.

The fragrance of tea filled the air, making people feel relaxed and happy. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Nangong Jue sat opposite each other, tasting the fragrant tea and started chatting.
