At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner
Chapter 152
Before the Queen Mother rested, Yu Yunxin gave her a facial oil cupping treatment. After the treatment, the Queen Mother looked several years younger. She looked at herself in the mirror and said, "Xin girl, I didn't expect these fragrances to have so many wonderful uses in your hands. Where did you learn this from?"
"Your Majesty, this was written in a book from the Kingdom of Xibo that a foreign businessman gave me when I was in Shangyang County. I liked reading books from foreign dynasties while I was there," Yu Yunxin evaded the question.
"Is that so? You can understand the writing of Xibo. I have never heard of this country." said the Queen Mother.
"That country might have collapsed! I heard from foreign businessmen that the foreign dynasty is in chaos and there are wars every day. Some foreigners fled to our Dacheng border." Yu Yunxin replied.
The Queen Mother nodded slightly, expressing her agreement: "That's right! Just as your grandmother said, the world outside Dacheng is indeed in chaos. Well, I'm a little tired. Madam Sun, please send Concubine Li and Princess Yu back to the palace. Also, let Lin'er take all the snacks in the Cining Palace back."
Concubine Li knelt down respectfully and said goodbye: "I will take my leave. May the Queen Mother live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
"Princess Li has worked very hard today. Please give my jade bracelet and the set of ruby rubies to Princess Li. Let her come to the Cining Palace to pay her respects to me tomorrow." The empress dowager looked at the simply dressed Princess Li and said softly.
Concubine Li was filled with gratitude and knelt down again, saying, "I thank you, mother, for your gift."
The Queen Mother said no more, and Nanny Sun led the three of them out of the Cining Palace.
Concubine Li said, "Yun Xin, it's getting late today, you and Lin'er should go back and rest early!"
"Yes, mother." Yu Yunxin replied and took out a piece of goat milk soap and handed it to Concubine Li, saying, "Madam Li, I made this for washing your face and bathing."
Concubine Li took it and looked at it. "Soap, it's good. You haven't been to my Xianzhi Pavilion, have you? You can go there to try selling. There are facial cleansers, shower gels, and cream essence sets, but not many. This soap is your gift, I accept it. The Queen Mother likes you very much. Come to the palace more often to accompany her mother in the future."
I didn't expect that the time traveler Li Fei could also make facial cleanser and shower gel. Oh my god! It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others!
After Yu Yunxin said goodbye to Concubine Li, she first came to Concubine Wen and saw that her belly had grown a lot bigger.
When Concubine Wen saw Yu Yunxin, she said warmly, "I didn't expect the princess to come to see me so late."
I came to the Queen Mother's place today, so I naturally can't forget you. As I said this, I took out a few bars of soap and handed them to Concubine Wen. "I wonder what Concubine Wen's plans are for the future?"
"After I give birth to the baby safely, I want to do business with the princess. We want to go to Yanyu Manor and become its disciples. I just want to live well with my child and don't want to enter the abyss of Rui Wangfu again." Concubine Wen touched her bulging belly and said. She knew that if she was in Rui Wangfu, no matter whether she gave birth to a boy or a girl, she would not be able to escape the fate of miscarriage. She knew that the main wife would not allow her concubines or concubines to give birth to babies before her. She also knew that as long as Concubine Bai was in Rui Wangfu, it would be sooner or later for Concubine Bai to have a miscarriage.
Yu Yunxin looked at Concubine Wen who was in a daze and said, "Okay, I'll let Piao Yang accompany you for the next few days, so don't think too much."
"Princess, please look. I have been very free in the Cining Palace these days, so I wrote some storybooks. Can you take a look at them and see what they think?" Concubine Wen said softly, handing a book with only a few pages to Yu Yunxin.
After Yu Yunxin took the book, she carefully flipped through a few pages and couldn't help but show admiration on her face: "Concubine Wen, you write really well!"
After thinking for a moment, Yu Yunxin continued, "If you can complete this work, I can pay you the corresponding royalties and share the profits in the future. If it can be adapted into a play, the profits will be even more considerable."
Concubine Wen was overjoyed when she heard this: "My Lady, are you serious? In that case, I will do my best to write it carefully."
"Oh, by the way, Princess." Concubine Wen suddenly remembered something and added, "My name is Wen Yin. From now on, Princess, please just call me by my name."
"Okay Wen Yin, you should rest early since you are pregnant. If you need anything, ask Piao Yang to buy it for you. She will protect the baby in your belly." After saying this, Yu Yunxin left the side courtyard. The Cining Palace is very large and safe, and no one will disturb her. As long as Wen Yin does not leave the palace, no one will find out that she is in the Cining Palace.
Afterwards, they came to the imperial kitchen and saw the three chefs teaching Manager Zhang how to make tofu.
"Eunuch Zhang, there are actually many ways to cook tofu. But it's getting late now, so I will arrange for Ge Dun, Prince Jiang and Liu Chao to take turns coming to the palace to teach you some other day. Of course, if you think this is too troublesome, you can also send someone directly to my Prince Yu's Mansion to learn." Yu Yunxin said with a smile.
"My princess, what you said is very true." Zhang Zongguan quickly smiled and said, "My princess, these three people you brought are really my good helpers! Are you satisfied with them?"
Yu Yunxin nodded slightly to show her approval, then walked out with Ge Dun and the other three, said goodbye to Eunuch Zhang and left.
Today was a fruitful day for Yu Yunxin. The cart was filled with gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, and she also needed essential oils. With these, her lipstick and soap would emit more charming fragrance. This was the authentic soap! Most importantly, with the support of the Queen Mother, she was in a good mood, humming the ditty "Painter in a Small Town" all the way: "There are seven or eight guests in the world, the orioles are chirping, look at whose house the water flows under the small bridge, listen to the humming of the pipa, the swallows are flying densely, and the small town is painting another round of winter and summer..."
"My lady, you sing so beautifully!" said Nangong Lin as he listened.
Yu Yunxin hummed a little tune and returned home happily, but Yu Yunxuan really brought trouble upon herself! After Yu Tinghai found out, he beat her up severely and confined her to her house for two months, not even giving her a year's salary. Not only that, he also asked Wang Yuanxiang to pay back the two gold ingots. But where did Wang Yuanxiang get the money from? She had sent it all back to her parents' home. Yu Tinghai didn't know until he checked. He was shocked to find out that over the years, Wang Yuanxiang had actually subsidized the Wang family with a total of three thousand taels of silver! Maybe there were even five thousand taels of silver left!
"What a pair of prodigal women! Lao He, hurry up and get me a whip, or I'll beat them both to death today!" Yu Tinghai roared angrily.
"Master, please forgive us! It's all because I didn't teach Yunxuan well that such a big disaster happened. For Niansi's sake, please don't beat us anymore. Niansi can't live without his mother!" Wang Yuanxiang cried loudly and begged bitterly.
"How dare you say that about Nian Si? Do you know how much shame you've brought upon him?" Yu Tinghai became angrier and angrier as he spoke. "Nian Si won't have a mother like you in the future. I think it's better for Nian Si to stay away from you. When he grows up and becomes sensible, he won't be led astray by you!"
"Someone come! Lin Shan, go and bring Nian Si over here quickly." Yu Tinghai ordered.
"Yes, godfather!" Yu Linshan responded quickly and turned to walk into the inner room.
Soon, a six-year-old boy was carried out from Wang Yuanxiang's yard. When the boy saw Wang Yuanxiang, he couldn't wait to go over to her, shouting, "Mom, Mom!"
However, Yu Tinghai quickly stepped forward to stop him and said, "She is not your mother. You don't have such a mother. Your mother is the eldest lady."
When the little boy heard this, he was stunned and stopped shouting. He stared at Yu Tinghai and Wang Yuanxiang with wide eyes and a puzzled look on his face.
Wang Yuanxiang wept bitterly, "My son! Please think of me, your dear mother!"
When Yu Tinghai heard this, he became even more furious. He shouted, "Now you know that Nian Si is your son? When you gave all the money in my Yu family to the Wang family, why didn't you know that you had such a son?" His tone was full of anger and disappointment, which moved people.
At this moment, the whole scene became extremely tense. Xiaowa stood there at a loss, with endless confusion and fear in his eyes; Wang Yuanxiang burst into tears, with regret and self-blame in her heart; as for Yu Tinghai, he was furious, as if he was extremely sad about what was happening before his eyes.
"Someone come! Go and carry Niansi to your grandparents' yard! Aunt Wang is totally incapable of teaching a child, and I absolutely cannot let this child follow in Yu Yunxuan's footsteps! She insulted her sister and brother-in-law in the street, and yet she still dreams of becoming the Crown Princess? Yu Yunxuan, Yu Yunxuan, you are really daydreaming!" Yu Tinghai pointed at the mother and daughter in front of him and cursed them angrily.
Old He at the side did not dare to neglect it and quickly ordered: "Immediately seal the gate of the courtyard where Aunt Wang and the Second Miss live, and expel all the people related to the Wang family in the courtyard and the mansion, and do not allow anyone to stay! At the same time, impose a six-month house arrest on Aunt Wang and the Second Miss as a punishment. Just make sure they have food supply, and don't worry about anything else. Anyway, this courtyard has everything you need, and there will be no shortage of anything."
"Yes, sir," Butler He responded respectfully, saying that he would do as he was told.
Wang Yuanxiang watched her son being taken away helplessly and vented her anger on Yu Yunxuan, saying, "You took two ingots of gold and didn't say a word. Now my son is gone."
"Mom, look at what you said. I'm spending this money on myself. And I heard that the prince will be back soon. By then, I will try my best to become the crown princess. Then we can live a better life!" Yu Yunxuan said confidently.
"Oh, my daughter, are you really sure you can do it? Tell me quickly, what good ideas do you have? Let me give you some advice." Wang Yuanxiang asked anxiously.
"Oh, mother, think about it, how did you become the second wife back then?" Yu Yunxuan asked cunningly.
"Do you want to repeat your mother's mistakes? I'm afraid that won't work. Your father was just a fifth-rank inspector back then, and he's the crown prince! What if he doesn't acknowledge it in the future? Or what if he only gives you the status of a concubine?" Wang Yuanxiang said worriedly.
"That's better than Yu Yunxin marrying a fool who has no real power. It's enough for me to live better than Yu Yunxin." Yu Yunxuan said with a smile.
At this time, most of the people in Yu Mansion were distant relatives of Wang Family. Yu Family gave them some silver and rented several carriages to send them back to their hometown overnight. At the same time, they were told that if anyone from Wang Family stepped into Yu Mansion again, they would be beaten to death.
These Wang family members are people who forget their principles when they see profit. Back then, Wang Yuanxiang's father and the current Wang Taifu were brothers. When the family was divided, Wang Taifu was driven out of the house by his brother and sister-in-law because he was young, leaving only a few books. Wang Taifu once asked these clansmen to come out and administer justice, but these people ignored him. So Wang Taifu could only leave his hometown with a book basket on his back, which could be said to be a net worth. Later, Wang Taifu accidentally met the dignitaries in the court. With his own efforts in studying, he showed outstanding literary talent and was favored by the young lady of the left prime minister's family. After that, the two got married, and Wang Taifu even passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar. From then on, his career was magnanimous, and he eventually became the teacher of the current emperor.
After learning about this, Wang Taifu's brother and sister-in-law tried to curry favor with him, but were ruthlessly rejected by Wang Taifu. Although they have the same surname, Wang, the two families have long cut off contact and have no connection with the Wang family. It is worth mentioning that Wang Taifu's family of three is very outstanding. His sons were the top scholar and the third scholar respectively. Now one son serves as the Minister of War, and the other is a fourth-rank official, serving as the prefect of Yizhou, the fief of the second prince. Not only that, his daughter also entered the palace and became a concubine. It can be said that the whole family is famous and respected.
However, in sharp contrast is the Wang family on the other side. They gave birth to a useless son, who not only squandered the wealth accumulated by generations of the family, but also got into trouble with lawsuits. They once sought help from the then Prince's tutor, but the Prince's tutor did not treat them as brothers at all. Now, seeing that Wang Taifu has become successful, he came to seek kinship and asked to save his nephew. For such behavior, Wang Taifu was naturally unwilling to lend a hand. After all, the other party did not regard him as a relative at the beginning, so how could he help now?
Wang Yuanxiang was a good and obedient daughter who followed her parents' orders. She followed her parents' orders and carefully planned a conspiracy, and the target of the conspiracy was Yu Tinghai.
Back then, Yu Tinghai was just a small fifth-rank official in the Imperial Clan Court. On that dark night, poor Yu Tinghai drank the drug Wang Yuanxiang had given him without any protection, and then he fell into Wang Yuanxiang's bed without knowing what was going on. In this way, Yu Tinghai was forced to take Wang Yuanxiang as a concubine. Fortunately, the two brothers-in-law of the Lin family did not cause him any trouble. At that time, Yu Yunxin's mother, the eldest lady, was already one month pregnant. She did not say much and brought Wang Yuanxiang into the house as a concubine.
Later, Yu Tinghai had no choice but to carefully check the case of Wang Yuanxiang's brother, and was surprised to find that it was actually a wrongful case! So he made up his mind to find out the truth and find out the real murderer behind the scenes. After a period of hard work day and night, he finally made the truth known to the world and gave Wang Yuanjie a clean name.
