At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

After saying this, Concubine Li took Yu Yunxin into the bedroom, walked to her dressing table, motioned her to sit down, and said softly: "Look at you, you are now my Lin'er's princess, but the hair accessories on your head are a bit too plain. These jewels were collected by me when I was young, and they are not of much use to me now, so I will just give them to you. Don't you want to enjoy the antique style here? I will satisfy you."

After that, Concubine Li gently opened the makeup box, and saw the dazzling array of pearls and jades inside, which were dazzling. Yu Yunxin was overjoyed, but a little embarrassed to refuse, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but these treasures are too precious..."

Before she could finish her words, Concubine Li interrupted her and said, "Hey, Xin'er, don't refuse. These things are just external possessions to me, but you are in your youth and now you are my daughter-in-law, so you should dress up beautifully."

"Don't let those people with ulterior motives get what they want! They want to see you make a fool of yourself in public. Do you know why? When your father brought Wang Yuanxiang back to the Yu Mansion, it was actually related to Concubine Wang. This time, she carefully planned it, with the purpose of making you and your daughter cause a big fuss in the palace, so that you can ask for a breakup. By then, she can easily accuse you of 'disrespecting the emperor's grace' and punish you severely. Not only that, even your titles may be taken away. Once you lose these, your thriving Mingyang Building and your industries in the capital will be hard to escape the annexation of the Wang family."

After hearing these words, Yu Yunxin thought to herself that Concubine Li had the same opinion as her. She had never expected Concubine Li to be so frank, so she turned her head and stared at Concubine Li, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. Then, she stood up without hesitation, knelt on her knees, and kowtowed to Concubine Li to express her gratitude: "I am grateful to you, your daughter-in-law, and I wish you a long life and good health, and everything goes well." Seeing this, Concubine Li smiled brightly, quickly reached out to help her up, and affectionately took her to choose jewelry together. The two talked happily, laughed constantly, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious, just like a real mother and daughter.

Yu Yunxin stared with wide eyes at the jewelry boxes that Concubine Li took out. The bead forks in the boxes were mainly pink, purple-pink and light colors, which made people happy. She muttered to herself, these bead forks are so beautiful!

However, when she saw that Concubine Li was going to put so many beads on her head, she couldn't help but be a little surprised. Would it be too cumbersome to put so many beads on her head? At this time, Concubine Li pulled her over again and changed her into a gorgeous purple-pink dress. While changing clothes, Concubine Li also paid special attention to Yu Yunxin's right arm. Yu Yunxin followed her gaze and was surprised to find that there was a toad sand on her right arm.

She had never thought that such a magical thing existed in ancient times. Yu Yunxin raised her head and looked at Concubine Li with an awkward smile on her face. Then she quickly put on her clothes and said softly, "Thank you, mother, for the reward." There was a hint of shyness and gratitude in her voice.

At this time, a large group of palace maids and eunuchs surrounded Hu Man and walked into the Cuiyu Palace.

Concubine Li deliberately whispered behind the screen: "Xin'er, did I let you marry Lin'er make you feel wronged?"

Yu Yunxin heard the hidden meaning of Concubine Li's words and replied softly, "The prince and I have been engaged, but the engagement letter has not been issued yet."

"What? Concubine Wang has never mentioned this matter. Doesn't this make me offend the Queen?" When Concubine Li heard this, she felt like she was struck by lightning and said hurriedly.

"Now that I have entered Prince Yu's Mansion and am Prince Yu's person, I will no longer have that thought. I just want to live a leisurely life in Prince Yu's Mansion." Yu Yunxin looked at the figure outside, a trace of sadness in her eyes, and said softly.

When Concubine Li heard this, she nodded repeatedly and said, "I didn't expect you to suffer such a great injustice."

"Mother, things have come to this point. No one can do anything. I, Yu Yunxin, have accepted my fate." There was endless loneliness in Yu Yunxin's voice.

Hu Man and a few others heard the conversation between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law. Hu Man really couldn't bear to interrupt them, so he said softly: "Empress Li, the emperor said to send some people to Prince Yu's mansion. Please take a look at these people, Empress Li."

When Concubine Li heard this, she came out from behind the screen with Yu Yunxin. They carefully looked around the group of people, looked again and again, and then nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, both the palace maids and eunuchs are in good health. The emperor is really attentive. Eunuch Hu, thank the emperor for me."

When Hu Man heard that Concubine Li was satisfied, he felt as if he had been pardoned and prepared to go back to report.

"Eunuch Hu, wait a minute." Yu Yunxin suddenly called out to him.

"Does Princess Yu have anything else to say?" Hu Man glanced at Yu Yunxin and asked puzzledly.

"My Prince Yu's Mansion is now desolate everywhere. I'm afraid you will have to do more odd jobs after you go there. These people are too weak and I'm afraid they can't do the job. Can Eunuch Hu replace them?" Yu Yunxin looked at the palace maids standing in front and said slowly.

"Of course you can, Princess Yu, please feel free to choose." Hu Man glanced at the six people standing in the front and said, "The six of you, follow me!" After that, Hu Man took the six people away.

Concubine Li looked at the people in front of her and said softly, "Since you are sent to Prince Yu's Mansion, take these dried fruits, cakes from the palace, and a few boxes of clothes and jewelry with you."

She turned around and glanced at Yu Yunxin again, and said earnestly: "Don't worry, if there is anything missing in the mansion, you can come to the palace and tell me. I can still afford some gold, silver, jewelry, dried fruits and snacks."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yunxin hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, mother."

After saying this, Yu Yunxin took out the title deed of the medicine shop, handed it to Concubine Li, and said, "This is the title deed of the medicine shop, please take it back, mother!"

Princess Li stuffed the deed back and said slowly, "Child, this is my betrothal gift to you. Although it is not as dazzling as gold, silver and jewelry, you must help me keep this medicine shop. There are many precious medicinal materials in it, and I earn several thousand taels of silver every year."

"But, mother, you also need money to take care of yourself in the deep palace!" Yu Yunxin looked embarrassed.

"Just keep it! How can you take back the betrothal gift you have given away? Besides, isn't this medicine shop in your hands? Isn't yours also my Lin'er's?" Concubine Li said lovingly.

After having dinner in the Jade Palace with Nangong Lin, the two of them left with their belongings and people. This time they had gained a lot from entering the palace. A group of people left the palace in a mighty manner. There were no obstacles along the way. A few concubines in the palace just watched and didn't say anything.

"It seems that Concubine Li is going to be favored in the palace again." Several palace maids said secretly.

After Yu Yunxin and Prince Yu left the palace, Emperor Cheng entered the Cuiyu Palace. He did not expect that Concubine Li was still the same as before, while he himself looked a little old. Emperor Cheng had been worrying about the country and the people all these years, and the intrigues in the harem gave him a headache.

When Concubine Li came to the Jade Palace, she helped Emperor Cheng with a massage and relieved his headache. Emperor Cheng said, "My beloved concubine, you and Lin'er have suffered so much over the years."

"Your Majesty, I originally wanted to stay out of the harem struggles, but I didn't expect my son to suffer so much grievances outside. Fortunately, Princess Yu supported Lin'er. I can't thank Your Majesty enough! It's just..." Concubine Li swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.

"Just what? Just tell me, my beloved concubine!" Emperor Cheng said hurriedly.

"Today I asked that girl Yu Yunxin, she said that she is engaged to the prince, but the prince has not issued the marriage certificate yet." Concubine Li said softly.

"Don't worry, my beloved concubine. Yu Yunxin has been recorded in Lin'er's jade disk. No one can change it. You don't have to worry about the Queen." Emperor Cheng stroked Concubine Li's jade hand and comforted her.

On the other hand, Concubine Wang was very puzzled when she heard that Yu Yunxin returned to Prince Yu's Mansion with more than 50 palace maids and took several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry without telling the palace that she wanted to cancel the engagement.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor will stay in the Cuiyu Palace today." The palace maid beside her said, supporting herself.

"Concubine Li wanted to regain the Queen's favor, so she snatched the daughter-in-law that the Queen liked. She will be in trouble when the Queen comes back." Concubine Wang ignored the palace maid's words.

"But wouldn't the Grand Tutor's plan have been ruined?" the palace maid asked.

"It's okay. The real show will begin when the prince comes back. I just didn't expect that Yu Tinghai and his daughter are so practical and love money so much. They are willing to marry a fool just for tens of taels of gold." Concubine Wang said with some doubts.

"This princess opened Mingyang Tower and Pinyuxuan just to make money! In my opinion, this father and daughter are simply obsessed with money, and only have huge sums of money in their eyes!" The palace maid said to Concubine Wang with disdain.

Concubine Wang nodded slightly to show her agreement, and then asked, "Has there been any news from Concubine Wen?"

The maid shook her head and replied with difficulty: "Reporting to the Imperial Concubine, we have not received any news about Concubine Wen yet."

Concubine Wang frowned slightly, feeling a little annoyed. She waved her hand and signaled the maid to leave.

After the palace maid left, Concubine Wang slowly walked to the window, stared at the dark night sky outside, and thought to herself: "What is this Concubine Wen doing? Why is there no news at all..." As she thought about it, she sighed softly, turned back to the bed, blew out the oil lamp on the table, and then closed the bedroom door. The whole room suddenly fell into darkness.

After returning from the palace, Prince Yu's mansion became particularly lively, with all kinds of items on display, and the dowry she brought was countless. Chunyu and Li Ye were busy shuttling between them, one was responsible for carefully counting all the items, and the other carefully arranged accommodation for the group of people from the palace and properly planned tomorrow's affairs.

After some effort, Chunyu finally finished the inventory. She walked to Yu Yunxin with the list and handed her the key to the warehouse. Yu Yunxin took the list and the key, nodded with satisfaction and praised: "You did a great job! Chunyu, from now on, you and Li Ye will be responsible for managing the income and expenditure of this Prince Yu's Mansion."

At this time, it was already late at night, and it was not too early. Yu Yunxin looked at Chunyu's injured arm with concern, and whispered: "You should ask Li Ma to apply some medicine on the wound on your arm, and remember to rest more." After that, she gently patted Chunyu's shoulder to express her comfort.

Chunyu responded with a smile: "Don't worry, Princess. It's just a minor injury. It's nothing serious." Then she bowed to Yu Yunxin and turned away.

At this moment, Yunshan, Yanluo, Qionglou and Haiwang jumped down from the roof as lightly as flying birds, and shouted in unison: "Princess, you guessed it right! Now Ruyi Theater has also started to sing "Journey to the West", and they have also imitated your Mingyang Tower!"

Yu Yunxin raised her lips slightly, revealing a confident smile, and responded: "Humph, so what if we follow the trend? We have already made a lot of money. In a few days, I will launch the book version of "Journey to the West"! Let's not talk about this, I still have a lot of wonderful scripts in my hands that have not yet been published!"

Hai Wang nodded respectfully and said, "As you command, my lady. As far as I know, all the people in the martial arts world are searching for Shangguan Hongcheng and Shangguan Hongling in Dacheng. At the same time, they are also taking good care of the female disciples in their own sects. If they receive any disturbance, they will report it to you immediately."

After hearing this, Yu Yun nodded slightly to show her agreement: "Now that I am the Princess of Yu, I have been ordered by Emperor Cheng to train death warriors. I need to trouble the four sisters to find a few suitable people for me in Yanyu Manor."

Before he finished speaking, Yanluo stood up abruptly and volunteered, "Princess, leave this matter to me! I will carefully select a suitable candidate for you in Yanyu Manor." Her words revealed determination and confidence.

Yu Yunxin stared at Yanluo's determined eyes, thinking that among the four people, she was the most suitable to take on this important task. So, she nodded slightly and agreed, "That's great! I'll trouble you then. You all go down first!"

After that, everyone left. After they left, Yu Yunxin turned back to the room. As soon as she stepped into the room, she saw Prince Yu pouting his lips and looking unhappy. Seeing this, she couldn't help but feel pity for him and asked with a soft smile: "What's wrong? What makes you so unhappy?"

"My lady, where are the two candied haws you mentioned?" Nangong Lin asked angrily, blinking his big eyes and pouting his little mouth.

Yu Yunxin raised her lips slightly when she heard this, and she smiled faintly. She raised her jade hands lightly, and took out two red, crystal clear candied haws from her wide cuffs as if by magic, and gently shook them in front of Nangong Lin's eyes.

This scene made Nangong Lin's eyes widen, with a gleam of surprise in his eyes. He couldn't wait to reach out and grab the tempting candied haws, but Yu Yunxin playfully retracted her hand and raised the candied haws higher.

"Little greedy cat, don't be impatient!" Yu Yunxin smiled softly, her eyes full of pampering. She knew that Nangong Lin liked to eat candied haws the most, so she specifically asked the maid Chunyu to buy it for him before entering the palace.

Of course, in addition to the candied haws, Yu Yunxin also prepared some other surprises. She bought fresh hawthorn fruit and fine white sugar, and planned to make hawthorn slices and snowflake hawthorn candy by herself tomorrow. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart, looking forward to bringing more joy and deliciousness to Nangong Lin.

As soon as Nangong Lin saw the candied haws in Yu Yunxin's hand, he immediately smiled happily and hugged Yu Yunxin like a hungry tiger. Yu Yunxin was caught off guard and lost her balance and fell directly into Nangong Lin's arms. This scene happened to be seen by Nanny Li who had just come in.
