At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

"This is all what the king asked Li Ye to do. He specially found a master of the Xuanmen sect. This master is the junior brother of the national teacher! Moreover, he is a carpenter and a member of the mysterious Gongshu family!" All of this was designed by him! I wonder if the princess likes this style? Nangong Lin looked at her expectantly.

When she heard the words "Gongshu Family", she couldn't help but be moved. Could it be that in this era, there is still such a legendary carpenter family? Could they really be the descendants of Lu Ban? She exclaimed: "The layout here is really unique, I like it very much."

At this time, Nangong Lin asked cautiously: "Princess, do you want me to make you a bowl of noodles?" His eyes revealed a hint of concern and tenderness.

"Hmph, this princess doesn't want to eat noodles! Ever since this princess was so kind as to teach you how to knead dough, you've been making noodles every now and then! This princess needs to nourish her brain. This princess wants to eat fish, walnuts and chestnuts!" Yu Yunxin complained angrily, her little face flushed red, her little mouth pouted high, and her eyes flashed with dissatisfaction. It was obvious that she had no interest in the food in front of her.

Nangong Lin saw this and thought to himself that it was not good. He knew the temper of the princess very well. If he angered her, he would suffer. So he nodded and said, "Okay! Someone, go and inform the kitchen and ask them to prepare the food according to the princess's request. Be quick and efficient. If you delay the princess's meal, don't blame me for being rude!"

As soon as the order was given, a servant immediately ran to convey the instructions. Nangong Lin carefully smiled and said to Yun Xin: "Princess, please calm down. It's all my fault. I will go and tell the kitchen to prepare the food you like. Please wait for a moment." After saying that, he did not forget to bow to Yu Yun Xin to express his apology.

Seeing Nangong Lin so obedient, Yu Yunxin couldn't help but feel proud in her heart. She felt that her dignity was maintained, and she also had a sense of control over the overall situation. So she held her head high and strode towards the restaurant, and every step she took seemed so confident and proud. Behind her were Chunyu and Qiushuang, two personal maids, who stood by and served respectfully, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

After entering the restaurant, Yu Yunxin walked straight to the main seat and sat down, glancing coldly at the dishes on the table. Although the dishes looked delicious, she had no appetite at the moment. She just wanted to eat her favorite fish, walnuts and chestnuts as soon as possible to cheer herself up.

At this time, Nanny Li was busy serving exquisite dishes to the table. When she saw Yu Yunxin and Nangong Lin walk in, she first bowed respectfully to them, then took the initiative to step forward and skillfully felt the pulse of Yu Yunxin and Nangong Lin.

Yu Yunxin looked at Nanny Li with a puzzled look on her face, and asked in confusion: "Nanny Li, Prince Yu and I are not sick, why are you taking our pulses?"

"In reply to your question, Princess, this is the rule of the mansion. Every time the season changes, the masters in the mansion have to see a doctor several times, just in case. What's more, the prince has just recovered from his health not long ago, so I naturally have to pay more attention." Nanny Li replied respectfully.

"So that's how it is! All the dishes are served, so you all should sit down and eat together!" Yu Yunxin said as she watched the last dish of walnut crisps being served.

When several people heard you look at me and look at you, Nangong Lin said: "Since the princess has said so, you all should sit down and eat together!"

"As you command!" several people in the room replied.

It was really good to be a princess in ancient times. There would be people to serve her when she ate. But she didn't like people standing behind her or in front of her to serve her. She would rather sit down and eat together to enjoy the meal.

Yu Yunxin looked at the crowd and said, "There are so many delicious foods. Not to mention, King Jiang and Ge Dunliu's cooking skills are getting better and better. It's better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. Don't be polite, let's eat together."

Nangong Lin naturally wouldn't say anything. As long as he could see the people in front of him happy every day, he would feel happy in his heart too. There was still a long time to live!

After lunch, Yu Yunxin wanted to take a walk, so they went to the back garden together. Not to mention that taking a walk after lunch made her feel refreshed, which allowed her to think about the diversification of Fengyu Rice Shop's varieties.

Soon, Yang Yunsheng, led by Manager Zhao, came to the living room of the third courtyard of Prince Yu's Mansion. The living room was decorated very luxuriously and simply, with various jade and coral ornaments placed against the wall. These were all placed by Master Gongshu, the junior brother of the national teacher, to attract wealth.

Yang Yunsheng was dressed in a blue brocade robe. He had a thin figure, a picturesque face, eyes as deep as a lake, and a golden abacus as big as his palm hung around his waist. His temperament looked somewhat inconsistent with his age.

"Princess Yu, this is Mr. Yang from Jin Suanpan, the richest man in Jiangnan." Shopkeeper Zhao introduced.

Yu Yunxin glanced at Yang Yunsheng and said, "Mr. Yang, I admire your great name. I didn't expect that Mr. Yang is also a good businessman who cares about the country and the people."

"Princess Yu, you are too kind. I took a look at the Fengyu Rice Shop you designed and it's quite nice. I have 103 rice shops in Dacheng and none of them are as exquisite as what Princess Yu imagined. I wonder if your arrangement can allow my rice shop to be designed according to your Fengyu Rice Shop." Yang Yunsheng said.

"Manager Zhao, please go back to Fengyu Rice Shop first. The king, Princess Yu and Mr. Yang have important matters to discuss." Nangong Lin said to Manager Zhao who was standing aside.

When Manager Zhao heard this, he immediately bowed and left the study, closing the door gently.

When Shopkeeper Zhao left for a while, Yang Yunsheng stood up and walked to Yu Yunxin's side with light steps. He bowed slightly, gave Yu Yunxin a standard salute, and then said, "I am the King of the Golden Ghost of Jiangnan, and I pay my respects to my lord and mistress!"

His voice was deep and powerful, with a kind of majesty that could not be ignored. However, this sudden action surprised Yu Yunxin a little. She couldn't help but stare at the mysterious man in front of her with wide eyes.

At this time, Nangong Lin also stood up. He walked quickly to Yu Yunxin, held her hand tightly, and said gently: "Xin, I have kept many things from you before, but now I don't want to hide them anymore. Mr. Yang is my man and one of my most trusted friends."

Yu Yunxin was even more shocked after hearing this. She thought she knew everything about Nangong Lin, but she didn't expect there was such a person hiding behind him. She glanced back and forth between Yang Yunsheng and Nangong Lin, trying to find some clues from their expressions.

Yang Yunsheng stood quietly aside, his eyes deep and calm, as if observing Yu Yunxin's reaction. He knew. Nangong Lin held Yu Yunxin's hand tightly, telling her with a firm look that all this was true.

"Madam, I know you are worried about the possible flooding in the west, but please rest assured that Prince Yu and I have made some preparations. Taking into account that low-lying areas are more susceptible to floods, we plan to let the villagers downstream grow lotus roots. In addition, we have also opened grain stores in various county towns to prevent local grain merchants from arbitrarily raising grain prices." Yang Yunsheng said in a firm tone.

Yu Yunxin frowned slightly and asked, "You have considered everything very carefully. However, what if the flood does not happen in the end?"

Yang Yunsheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile, and responded: "Wouldn't it be better if there were no floods? In this way, not only will we not suffer any losses, but we can also make a profit by selling lotus roots in the south. Even if we only lose some lotus root seeds, it doesn't matter. I have also planted a lot of lotus roots in various places in the south." His words revealed his confidence and optimism about this decision.

"Okay! Mr. Yang, I will leave the matter of the northern branch of Fengyu Rice Bank to you." Nangong Lin said in a loud voice.

"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness! In addition, I hope you can bring more burlap to make rice bags. All rice sold by Fengyu Rice Shop to customers must be accompanied by our logo, so that we can retain customers. If there are major customers purchasing, we can also provide door-to-door delivery services." Yu Yunxin said.

After saying this, everyone nodded in approval.

"Madam, you have thought it through. Your new business model is also a good start." Yang Yunsheng added, "Madam, you are wise. I believe that with your wisdom, you will be able to make the rice shop business in the north flourish."

Nangong Lin waved his hand, signaling them to stop discussing. He looked at Yang Yunsheng and said in a deep voice: "This king knows that the princess is very capable, but she has been very busy recently. Since you have decided to go to the capital to do business, you must run it carefully and must not tire my princess out. Li Ye, take this Mr. Yang to the City God Temple outside the capital, and then inspect all the shops under the princess' name. If you have the intention to cooperate, do your job seriously and don't let this king down."

Before he finished speaking, Nangong Lin called out Li Ye's name in a somewhat irritated tone. Upon hearing the voice, Li Ye immediately opened the door and walked into the study, asked Yang Yunsheng to leave the room, and walked out of the palace together. When they arrived outside the palace, Li Ye smiled and said to Yang Yunsheng: "His Royal Highness Prince Yu has recovered from his illness, and now the princess has another person to rely on. It can be seen that Mr. Yang's choice to cooperate with our princess is a wise move! Next, I will take you to visit the princess's newly built manor." After that, the two walked side by side, gradually went away, and left Prince Yu's palace.

Yu Yunxin turned around abruptly, staring at Nangong Lin with a look of doubt and curiosity in her eyes, and asked, "Is Mr. Yang involved in the assassination of the crown prince?"

Nangong Lin quickly shook his head to deny it. His eyes were firm and clear, and he didn't seem to have any intention of hiding anything. He said softly, "That's not true. I wouldn't do such a despicable thing." As he spoke, he actually reached out and tried to hug Yu Yunxin.

However, Yu Yunxin reacted very quickly. She dodged Nangong Lin's hug flexibly. She secretly vowed in her heart that she would never let him succeed again. She quickly performed a series of exquisite moves - turning horse, single circle hand, double circle hand, single snake hand, double snake hand, single sticky hand, double sticky hand... Yes, this is the unique skill of Wing Chun.

Yu Yunxin's movements were as natural and smooth as flowing water, and each move contained endless power and skills. Her agility and light steps made people marvel. Nangong Lin obviously did not expect Yu Yunxin to have such excellent reaction speed and superb skills, and was caught off guard for a moment.

The prince will go to the military training ground for a competition in a few days. Do you want to do anything else? Or do you want to fight with me? Hey, okay, I can teach you some Wing Chun moves! "Yu Yunxin flexibly avoided Nangong Lin's attack, and took the opportunity to counterattack, blocking his next few moves.

At this time, Qiu Shuang and Chun Yu, who were outside the living room, heard the fighting sounds coming from inside and looked at each other in surprise.

"What is going on? Why are the prince and princess fighting in the living room?" Qiu Shuang frowned and asked in confusion.

"Yeah, it's really strange. Aren't they always respectful to each other on weekdays? What happened today..." Chunyu also looked confused.

The two looked at each other and decided not to rush in and disturb them, but to see what was going on first. After all, the affairs between the prince and the princess were not something that servants like them could interfere with.

"Where did you learn these skills?" Nangong Lin, who was pinned to a pillar by Yu Yunxin and unable to move, struggled to break free from his restraints while breathlessly questioning the agile woman in front of him.

However, Yu Yunxin turned a deaf ear to Nangong Lin's questioning. Her eyes were focused and firm, as if she and the pillar were the only ones in the world. Then, she turned her eyes and said, "This is another set of boxing techniques. Watch carefully how I attack!" As she spoke, her figure flashed like a ghost, and her fists and feet attacked Nangong Lin like a storm.

This set of boxing looks simple, but it actually hides mysteries. Each move contains endless power and changes. Yu Yunxin's movements are smooth and flexible, which makes people marvel. This is the exquisite move of Wing Chun. However, she did not point out the mystery to Nangong Lin.

"Ouch! It hurts! Princess, please spare me, don't hurt me anymore!" Nangong Lin, who was suffocating under the pressure, didn't care about the dignity of the prince at this moment, and could only beg bitterly. His miserable appearance caused several maids and palace maids outside the door to laugh.

"Hmph! It's good that you feel the pain. Let's see if you dare to do that again in the future." Yu Yunxin snorted softly, a hint of cunning flashing in her beautiful eyes, but the strength in her hands did not weaken at all, instead it increased a bit.

"I know I was wrong, please show some mercy, Princess." Nangong Lin begged for mercy with a bitter face. He secretly complained in his heart, this woman was really cruel, his arm was almost blue from her pinching.

"Forget it, forget it. I will let you go today. There will be a martial arts competition tomorrow, so you should prepare well for me. If you lose, don't blame me for being rude to you." Yu Yunxin let go of her hand and said in a serious tone.

Hearing this, Nangong Lin nodded as if he had been pardoned, and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely do my best and will never lose to others."

Yu Yunxin then slowly let go of her hand, took a deep look at Nangong Lin, and turned around and left resolutely. However, after she took two steps, she suddenly stopped and turned back again. At this moment, a hint of vigilance that was difficult to conceal was revealed in her beautiful eyes.

"You...you won't do anything while I'm not prepared, right?" Yu Yunxin stared at Nangong Lin closely and asked with a tone full of suspicion and vigilance.
