At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

Piaoyang immediately replied, "Don't worry, Princess. I have already made arrangements for Wen Yin. There are several women who have given birth to children there to serve. In addition, Sister Yunshan has also received news from Wuji Sect. It is said that there seems to be news about Shangguan Hongling in Qizhou."

Yu Yunxin nodded to show that she understood, "Okay, after you guys have practiced the Nine Heavens Mysterious Art to the seventh level, we'll go together."

Piaoyang turned and left after she finished speaking. She had been bored staying in a yard taking care of Wen Yin for the past few days. Now that she could finally go out for some fresh air, she naturally couldn't wait to go to Yanyu Manor to reunite with her fellow sisters and brothers.

Yu Yunxin stood there, looking up at the sky. It was still dark, but official sedan chairs were already traveling on the streets of the capital. She couldn't help but feel extremely anxious.

Nangong Lin, who was standing by, noticed that Yu Yunxin was acting strangely, and asked with concern, "Xin'er, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about the people at Yanyu Manor?"

Yu Yunxin shook her head slightly and replied, "No, it's just that it's almost June now, and Qionglou estimates that there will be floods in the southwest, so I'm a little worried." As she spoke, she leaned slightly on Nangong Lin's shoulder.

Nangong Lin rubbed Yu Yunxin's brow distressedly and comforted her: "I have already sent people to strengthen the water conservancy projects in the southwest, so don't worry!"

Yu Yunxin nodded, then turned to look out the carriage window and found that many officials were waiting outside the Meridian Gate. She immediately tidied her clothes and hair.

"You said that these officials got up so early and had to wait for the court session on an empty stomach. Doesn't that mean many of them didn't have time to eat breakfast?" Yu Yunxin asked curiously.

Nangong Lin looked at Yu Yunxin in surprise and asked, "Do you still want to do their breakfast business?"

Yu Yunxin nodded and replied: "Yes, I think these officials are all rich people, so it is good for them to let my Mingyanglou sell some breakfast! After all, if you don't eat breakfast for a long time, it will cause harm to your body, especially stomach problems."

Nangong Lin smiled and said to Yun Xin, "There is a morning market in the capital. Some officials will ask their servants to buy breakfast and come to court after they are full. Someone has been doing this business for a long time. Ha! Ha! These days, the princess will sleep in the carriage and will not lift the curtain to take a look at the morning market in the capital."

After hearing this, Yu Yunxin opened the car curtain again and saw stalls on both sides of the street, selling snacks, vegetables and fruits, and various daily necessities. People were walking on the street, some were picking out the items they needed, and some were enjoying the morning sunshine and fresh air. She felt that all this was very novel and interesting, and her mood became cheerful.

"The carriage has arrived at the Xihua Gate. Let's go in! I'm going to the Donghe Gate." Nangong Lin said as he carried Yu Yunxin off the carriage, then said goodbye to Yu Yunxin and left. Nanny Li's carriage followed closely behind and arrived at the Xihua Gate. Nanny Li said to Yunxin, "The concubines and the ladies in the palace of the princess all go through the Xihua Gate, the prince and the prince go through the East Gate, and the maids without rank and the wives of officials can only go through the corner gates to enter and exit the palace." After that, Nanny Li took Yu Yunxin into the Xihua Gate.

"There are so many rules in the palace." Yu Yunxin muttered softly. Holding a jade pendant in her hand, she slowly walked to the palace gate. There, she took out the jade pendant and handed it to the imperial guards for inspection. Then, she walked into the palace and was taken to the Queen Mother's palace with several maids.

Now Nangong Lin has also joined the court dispute, and she needs to act according to the palace rules. When she stepped into the Cining Palace, Li Ma reminded her again: "Princess, don't speak casually in the palace. People here are complicated. In the past, the prince was stupid, and no one would say anything about him, but now Prince Yu has returned to normal and has to attend the morning court. All your words and deeds will inevitably cause some waves. In addition, among the many princesses, only you have the position of a palace lady and the title of a second-rank princess. Please be careful and cautious."

Yu Yunxin listened to Li Ma's nagging all the way. Although she was a little annoyed, she still listened patiently. Finally, after Li Ma's chattering reached the Queen Mother's bedroom, Li Ma stopped her nagging.

Yu Yunxin breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she could finally have some peace and quiet for a while.

As soon as she entered the Cining Palace, Nanny Sun came over and said with a gentle smile, "The Queen Mother is having breakfast today, Wen Yin and the two babies are also sleeping, and Concubine Li was busy yesterday and hasn't gotten up yet, so please wait for a moment, Princess Yu."

Yu Yunxin smiled and nodded to show her understanding. She heard from Nanny Li that it was Concubine Li who delivered Wen Yin yesterday. She didn't expect that the person she brought back to the Empress Dowager's palace would trouble Concubine Li to deliver the baby personally. Yu Yunxin felt a little guilty.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the Cining Palace. It turned out that the imperial concubine and the queen had also come here, asking to see the empress dowager and pay their respects to her.

Yu Yunxin muttered to herself, how come these two are here by coincidence?

The maid outside the door stopped them and replied respectfully: "The Queen Mother is still having breakfast, please wait a moment, Queen and Imperial Concubine."

The imperial concubine and the queen looked at each other, with a hint of dissatisfaction in their eyes, but they still politely asked the palace maid to convey their greetings and expressed their willingness to wait.

Yu Yunxin stood aside and watched this scene. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that there were so many rules in the palace. Even the queen and concubines of high status had to abide by these etiquette.

But unfortunately, Concubine Li also came to the Cining Palace. The palace maid immediately greeted her and said, "The Queen Mother has been waiting for Concubine Li for a long time today, so she has started breakfast. Concubine Li, please go in quickly!"

Princess Li smiled and said, "I understand." Then she walked in.

Yu Yunxin looked at Concubine Li, then at the Queen and the Imperial Concubine, muttering to herself.

Concubine Li walked up to the Queen Mother, bowed, and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, saying, "Get up. Thanks to your massages, I feel much better these days."

Concubine Li bowed slightly and said: "Mother, this is what I should do."

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, then motioned for Concubine Li to sit next to her and began to ask her about her dietary precautions.

Concubine Li told Nanny Sun all the recipes suitable for the elderly and planned the empress dowager's diet reasonably.

At this time, the queen and the imperial concubine outside the door could only wait silently.

Yu Yunxin knew in her heart that the Queen Mother doted on Concubine Li, which allowed Concubine Li to gain the respect of the Queen and Concubine Wang in the palace.

At the same time, she is also aware of the complexity of court struggles, where everyone is vying for power and status.

As soon as Li Fei arrived, she was taken in by another Madam Hu from the Cining Palace. The Queen and Concubine Wang saw that she had been standing outside for so long and began to feel dissatisfied. The Queen said, "Why didn't I let you in when you brought Li Fei in like this?"

"Princess Li is giving the Empress Dowager a morning massage. Do you know how to deliver a recipe to the Queen? The Empress Dowager has been tired these days, so you don't have to pay your respects to her this month!" Nanny Hu said coldly while standing at the door.

The two were turned away, and Concubine Wang's face turned very ugly.

"Sister Queen, Concubine Li is now favored not only by the Emperor but also by the Empress Dowager." Concubine Wang bit her lip and said to the Queen with a look of grievance.

"Didn't you do all this yourself? You thought you had found a helper, but you didn't expect that you would have a powerful enemy." The Queen sneered and continued teasingly, "Some people are selfish, they only think about their own interests but don't think about the consequences. I heard that Concubine Bai of the Rui Palace had a miscarriage a few days ago. Concubine Wang, why don't you take care of the Rui Palace's backyard? Do you still have the mind to compete with me here?"

The Queen’s words made Concubine Wang’s face turn extremely pale in an instant. She widened her eyes and looked at the Queen in disbelief.

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Wang tried to explain, but the Queen didn't give her a chance.

"Alright, I don't want to bother with you anymore. Since the Queen Mother has already said so, let's go." After the Queen said this, she turned around and left with everyone.

Concubine Wang stood there blankly, her heart full of regret and self-blame. She could never have imagined that her momentary negligence would lead to such a disaster. The Queen's words deeply hurt her heart and made her realize her mistake. At this moment, she regretted it, but it seemed too late.

The imperial concubine held the handkerchief tighter when she heard this. When she thought of the troubles in the backyard of the prince Rui, she wanted to ask the prince Rui to send all the concubines out of the palace, or make them disappear like Concubine Wen. She looked at the closed gate of the Cining Palace and became furious. She thought to herself: "Isn't it because the prince Yu married Yu Yunxin that Concubine Li has such great luck? Come on, I will destroy the luck I gave you."

The queen returned to the palace, and became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it. Nangong Lin was no longer stupid, and the prince's position was now threatened. She had to find a way out. Suddenly she thought of something and immediately sat down at the desk and wrote a letter. She asked her closest maid to deliver it to the Ye family.

At this time, the Cining Palace was extremely lively. When the Queen Mother saw Yu Yunxin coming, she asked first, "Is Old Lady Lin in good health?"

Yu Yunxin replied respectfully: "Thank you Queen Mother for your concern. Grandfather has found a miracle doctor and medicine and is much better now. Grandmother will be able to enter the palace to accompany the Queen Mother in a few days."

"Oh! The weather is getting hotter day by day. Tell her to pay attention to her diet. I'll ask Madam Sun to find a hundred-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus and send it to the General Protector of the Nation." The Queen Mother instructed Madam Sun.

"Yes, Queen Mother. I will arrange it right away." Nanny Sun immediately bowed to the Queen Mother and walked out of the Cining Palace with two eunuchs.

After seeing Nanny Sun leave, the Queen Mother asked again, "How is the Yunxin Treasury? How do you maximize the value of those tens of thousands of boxes of jewels?"

"The emperor has also discussed this matter with me. Just two days ago, the emperor personally went to check the jewels and jades in the storehouse and the treasury, and even the jade mines in southern Yunnan and the gold mines in Beirong. However, our Dacheng treasury is already in a very tight spot as we have to fight against Xiliang. How great it would be if these jewels and jades could be turned into cash! This year, the emperor also ordered the treasury to convert the cash into jewels to reward the concubines and the queen, but this is obviously not a long-term solution!" Concubine Li said with emotion.

"However, if all these jade pieces are put on the market at once, their value will definitely drop significantly." The Queen Mother sighed helplessly, then picked up the tea on the table and drank it slowly.

"Women will never have too much gold and silver jewelry. I have a good idea." Yu Yunxin said after thinking for a long time with her chin supported by one hand.

"Oh? Princess Yu, please tell me quickly." The Queen Mother said anxiously.

So Yu Yunxin exchanged her Pinyuxuan's business model with the palace jewelry according to grades, and she was also willing to pay for non-grade jewelry with her own money.

The Queen Mother was very satisfied when she heard this and said, "Okay, it seems that I didn't misjudge you. Let's do as you wish. After all, you are the one who makes the decisions in the Treasury now."

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she stood up and looked at Yu Yunxin and said, "You've caused me so much trouble. What are your plans for Wen Yin? Forget it. It's rare for you to come to my Cining Palace today, so why don't you teach me Tai Chi first!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yunxin immediately acted coquettishly in front of the Queen Mother, "Yes, Grandmother, no matter how important the matter is, it is not as important as your health."

So she started her morning Tai Chi coaching mode.

"You know what, after practicing a few moves, I feel a lot more relaxed and refreshed!" said the Queen Mother after practicing the last few moves.

“After you learn these moves, you can exercise your muscles and bones every morning and evening. This way, the Empress Dowager can live a long life.” After Yu Yunxin finished learning these moves, she supported the Empress Dowager and said.

Concubine Li also supported the Queen Mother on the left and said, "The Queen Mother is in good health and will live a long life."

"You two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are really good at talking. If you live too long, you will become old witches." The Queen Mother smiled and replied as she walked.

"No, look at you, Grandmother. You look like you're in your forties but you don't look old at all. People become more charming as they get older." Yu Yunxin replied immediately.

"You are the only one who knows how to make me happy." The Queen Mother replied, and then asked: "What are you going to do with Wen Yin?"

"Empress Dowager, do you dislike the three of them, mother and daughter?" Yu Yunxin asked jokingly.

"No, after all, they are my first great-granddaughter, and twins at that. How could I dislike them?" The Queen Mother explained quickly.

Yu Yunxin smiled and said, "Then you, Grandmother, are you still asking me how to arrange for them?"

The Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Li and then at Yu Yunxin and asked, "After all, you delivered Concubine Li's child, and the twins are also royal blood. You should ask Wen Yin's opinion!"

Concubine Li looked at Yu Yunxin with some confusion and asked, "What is the identity of that Wen Yin?" Concubine Li thought to herself that she couldn't be Nangong Lin's woman. She knew that Nangong Lin only liked Yu Yunxin, so what did the Queen Mother mean by looking at her just now? That's why she asked this.

Yu Yunxin and Concubine Li came to the backyard and told Concubine Li about Wen Yin. Concubine Li said, "No matter what, your father must know about this matter. If you make a decision on your own, I'm afraid that Concubine Wang and Prince Rui will hate you when they find out."

When the Queen Mother came back, she nodded and said, "What Concubine Li said makes sense. Madam Hu, wait for His Majesty to leave the court and ask him to come to my Cining Palace. Remember, you must avoid Prince Rui and Concubine Wang. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Matron Hu immediately nodded and said, "I understand." After reporting to the Empress Dowager, she left to do her work.

Wen Yin was very happy when she saw Yu Yunxin and Queen Mother Li Concubine coming together. Just as she was about to salute the three of them, she was rejected by the Queen Mother: "You are still in confinement, so forget about these etiquettes for now!"
