At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

The Queen Mother seemed to understand that Concubine Li didn't like to stand out too much. In the morning, Madam Hu said that she had stopped the Queen and Concubine Wang outside the Cining Palace, but she herself had entered the Cining Palace. It would not be good to attract jealousy, so she said, "Since Concubine Li still has matters related to jewelry, let her stay in the treasury for a while! Then I will ask the imperial kitchen to send you dinner. By the way, I will reward everyone in the treasury with fourteen dishes, and let these craftsmen polish better jade wares."

When everyone heard this, they all knelt on the ground and thanked, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your reward." After the Queen Mother said this, she walked out of the treasury room with the help of Emperor Cheng.

When the Queen and the Imperial Concubine heard that the Queen Mother invited them to have dinner together in Yuhua Palace, they showed joy on their faces. With the careful dressing of the palace maids and the nannies, they came to Cining Palace together. But when they looked at each other, only Imperial Concubine Wang could let the Queen go in first.

Arriving at the banquet hall and seeing the Queen Mother and the Emperor waiting for them at the upper seats, the Queen leaned forward and saluted, saying, "I pay my respects to the Queen Mother and the Emperor."

Then Concubine Wang paid her respects to the Queen Mother and said, "I also pay my respects to the Queen Mother and the Emperor. I have also prepared some small gifts for the Queen Mother. I hope the Queen Mother will like them."

After saying that, the palace maids standing on both sides took out several brocade boxes, which were filled with precious Chinese medicines such as deer antler slices, thousand-year-old ginseng, and thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.

"The imperial concubine is so thoughtful. I like it." Of course the empress dowager liked these things. They could be exchanged for silver directly and also help to maintain the reputation of the Treasure Pavilion.

When Concubine Wang saw the kind look on the Queen Mother's face, she also sat down next to the Queen.

The Queen Mother asked Nanny Sun to pick up a piece of bean curd roll and said, "Noble Consort Wang is so thoughtful. You can come and have dinner with me tomorrow. Do you have a few sets of Yuwan in your palace? It would be even better if Yuwan goes with this exquisite bean curd soup."

"Yes, if the Queen Mother likes it, I will present it to her tomorrow." Concubine Wang nodded.

"When Emperor Cheng heard this, he smiled and said, 'Noble Concubine Wang! Do you like the jewelry and jade I gave you a few days ago?'"

"I like it." Concubine Wang was flattered when she heard it.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Cheng smiled and put a few dishes of rice in the bowl for Concubine Wang and said, "My beloved concubine, you have lost weight in the past few days. Come and eat more."

The neglected empress watched Emperor Cheng and the empress dowager surrounding Concubine Wang to pick up food, and her jealousy rose again. She said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, I will also ask Eunuch Wang to get some coral and glass cups from my Kunning Palace."

"Queen, am I a greedy person?" The Queen Mother said angrily, "From now on, you can all come to Yuhua Palace to have dinner with me. I need to stay in Cining Palace in the morning to recuperate, so it's inconvenient for you to come and bother me in the morning."

"Yes, yes! I was wrong, Queen Mother, please calm down. I will prepare some small gifts for you tomorrow to show my filial piety to you." The Queen echoed.

"Okay, I'm full. I'm going to go to the Imperial Garden and take a walk." The Queen Mother was about to get up and said, "Your Majesty, please spend more time with the Queen and the Imperial Concubine!"

In the end, Emperor Cheng and Concubine Wang returned to Ningxiang Palace together. The Queen watched the two leave with a look like a knife. If this look could kill Concubine Wang, she would have died countless times. It was obvious that both of them hated Concubine Li in the morning, but now the Queen and Concubine Wang began to be jealous of each other. It can only be said that the situation in the harem changes quickly.

The Queen Mother looked at the Queen and said, "Queen, if the harem is full of jealousy and disputes, how can you control the harem? Listen to me, you must be magnanimous."

When the queen heard this, she immediately retracted the look from Concubine Wang, like a frightened rabbit. She lowered her head and said humbly, "It was my fault for being impolite. Please punish me, Queen Mother."

"I won't punish the Queen. You and Concubine Wang can have dinner with me tomorrow." After the Queen Mother said this, she asked Madam Hu to help her back to the Cining Palace.

After finishing dinner with everyone in the treasury room, Li Fei came to an empty warehouse. She took Yu Yunxin's hand, like a kind elder, pointed at the space ring and said, "Lin told you, right?"

Yu Yunxin nodded when she heard it, her face full of curiosity, and asked impatiently: "Is this space ring yours?"

Li Fei nodded, her eyes gleaming with memories, "Yes! I was the same age as you when I traveled through time, but I am over 40 in modern times. I am a medical geek, and I found this ring after I traveled through time. I didn't expect that there was a small flat I bought in my hometown, a farm, a pond, a ranch, an orchard, and a modern shopping mall system, where you can buy all kinds of modern things, except for firearms. Later, after I gave birth to Lin, Lin was smart since he was a child. He bought various accessories separately and liked to assemble these firearms. So to meet my needs and, when Lin acted crazy in front of everyone, I gave him the pair of rings directly, and also let him know some information about our time."

Yu Yunxin understood what was going on and frowned. She couldn't help but ask, "Then why don't you give half of the ring to Emperor Cheng?"

"No, I didn't tell him this secret, so no one else can know this secret except the three of us, because Emperor Cheng has never been sincere to anyone, and he can't enter this space." Concubine Li looked at the direction of the imperial study with deep eyes, as if looking at a bottomless black hole, and said slowly.

"Since I saw you, I knew that Lin was the best match for you. I built a glass kiln in my palace. I did some modern medicine experiments in transparent glass jars for easy observation. You can use the glass kiln I built to make more glass ornaments you need."

"Mother, let's go to your glass kiln and take a look." Yu Yunxin said impatiently when she heard it.

"Okay! I also asked the palace maids and eunuchs to do it when there was nothing to do in the palace. However, the color of the glass they made was not good-looking. However, it is enough for me to see the chemical reactions of various medicines. Besides, I bought several sets of experimental kits before giving Lin'er the space ring." Concubine Li said as she walked out of the warehouse.

Concubine Li brought Yu Yunxin to the backyard of the Jade Palace, where there was a small kiln. There were several semi-porcelain and semi-transparent containers placed next to the kiln, which looked very distinctive. It looked a bit like enamel. Yu Yunxin walked over curiously, walked around the kiln a few times, and even stuck her head into the kiln to check it out. Then she carefully observed the quartz stone and lime powder next to it, and asked, "How do you fire it?"

At this time, a palace maid in pink clothes came forward and replied respectfully: "Princess, we put these stones and lime together into the kiln and burn them." After that, the palace maid began to demonstrate the whole process.

Yu Yunxin watched the palace maid's operating steps attentively, and gradually understood why it was impossible to burn glass with a higher purity.

But when she retracted her head, some dust fell from the cave entrance and landed on her left cheek, like a crystal teardrop. When Nangong Lin saw this scene, he hurried over, took out a brocade handkerchief from his arms, and gently wiped her cheek, as if he was wiping a precious piece of porcelain.

Concubine Li felt Nangong Lin's careful care, and a warm smile appeared on her face, just like the warm sunshine in spring, warm and pleasant. She signaled the palace maids to light the palace lanterns beside the glass kiln, and suddenly the whole space became bright, like the bright stars in the night sky.

As the palace lanterns lit up, the surrounding environment became clearly visible, and Concubine Li also came over with great interest, wanting to help them burn the colored glaze.

Yu Yunxin looked at the busy people in front of her and suddenly said, "Everyone stop for a moment. I know how to make it."

When everyone heard this, they stopped what they were doing and focused their eyes on Yu Yunxin. Yu Yunxin continued, "You can go to the palace and find some wood ash for me."

At this time, the maid in pink stood up and said to her respectfully: "Princess, there is a lot of wood ash in the backyard of the imperial kitchen. I will lead everyone to collect enough. How much do you need?"

"The more the better. Bring me some more quartz and lime." Yu Yunxin simply said everything she wanted. Soon everyone was ready.

Yu Yunxin began to filter the quartz powder and lime powder together with wood ash. The filtration would take one night, so she handed some tasks over to the pink-clothed palace maid.

Li Fei said softly: "There are books on the shelf in the study of this glass purification space. You can take a look. But I am afraid that if the degree of purification is too high in this era, it will have a butterfly effect in our era."

Yu Yunxin laughed when she heard this and said, "It shouldn't be. Mother, have you noticed that there is no such country in our history books?"

"I'm a medical student and don't know history." Concubine Li looked at Yu Yunxin and said, "Since you don't know, then you can do it. You should go back and rest early so that I can hold my grandson earlier."

When Yu Yunxin heard how Concubine Li had been assimilated by the women of this era, she smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry, we will try our best." After that, she took Nangong Lin and bowed to Concubine Li and took her leave.

After the two returned to their courtyard, Yu Yunxin began to think seriously about what Concubine Li said. Although she didn't know much about history, she also felt that too high a degree of purification in this era might bring unexpected consequences. After all, it was already strange that they had traveled to this world, and if they changed too many things, it might really cause a butterfly effect.

But she didn't want to give up the opportunity to make high-quality colored glass. She believed that as long as the purity was carefully controlled, it shouldn't have much impact. Moreover, she also wanted people of this era to enjoy a better quality of life.

Thinking of this, Yu Yunxin decided to continue making colored glaze according to the plan. At the same time, she also had to remind herself not to be too greedy and to keep a moderate balance in the world.

At this time, the moon was high in the sky, and Yu Yunxin and Nangong Lin walked out of the palace gate together. The night market in the capital was very lively, and the people in the city set up stalls on the street, forming a unique night market scene. Yu Yunxin watched all this with interest, and said to Nangong Lin excitedly: "Let's get off the car and go shopping! I have never been to a night market before."

Qin Long, the driver, heard this and quickly responded, "Princess, there's nothing good to see in this night market. It's full of prostitutes. But if it's later, there's a more interesting place - the ghost market."

"Ghost market?" Yu Yunxin looked at Nangong Lin curiously.

"Yes, Princess may not know that the Ghost Market is a very special place. Both sellers and buyers have to wear masks because some things cannot be seen in the light. We have been there several times, and each time we can find a lot of good things, such as martial arts, mysterious weapons and the like." Qin Long became more and more excited as he spoke, but he didn't know that Yu Yunxin already knew Nangong Lin's true identity, so he kept praising the Ghost Market.

At this time, Bai Hu, who was sitting outside, couldn't help but say, "Stop bragging! The so-called 'Xujiazhuang 72 Styles' you bought from Blind Huang last time was fake, wasn't it? How could it be as powerful as the Tai Chi that our princess taught us?"

Yu Yunxin couldn't help laughing as she listened to the two people bickering with each other, and asked, "What else is there in the ghost market?"

Qin Long quickly replied: "There are many interesting things in the ghost market! For example, Jianghu killers, as long as the buyer can afford enough money, they can kill anyone the buyer wants to kill. Moreover, these killers will never reveal the identity of the buyer's family, and even the government can't find out. However, there are also some independent people who pretend to be killers from Yueling Pavilion and Shura Gate to deceive people, but this situation is rare. Especially in the capital and Jiangnan area, there is a great demand for killers."

Upon hearing this, Bai Hu quickly retorted, "Princess, please don't listen to Qin Long. Although we have helped Lord Yu investigate several cases, those so-called killers are actually just some unknown people in the underworld. Once they are arrested and taken to the Ministry of Justice, they will confess honestly."

Yu Yunxin asked curiously, "Are there any other special things? Like rare treasures?"

Qin Long said excitedly: "Princess, you've hit the nail on the head! In fact, some palace maids who left the palace would sneak into the ghost market and sell the gold, silver, jade and other treasures they had brought out of the palace. Of course, these were not allowed to be seen in public. Even if someone bought them, they could only hide them at home for their own enjoyment and would never dare to show them to others easily."

The more Yu Yunxin listened, the more interesting she found it. It seemed that no matter where you are, the ghost markets in wealthy places are the most interesting. She was looking forward to going to the Kyoto Ghost Market in person to see this mysterious and charming place with her own eyes.

But Nangong Lin didn't seem to be interested in the ghost market at all. He frowned and said in a serious tone: "The ghost market is full of people from all walks of life, a mixed crowd, it's not suitable for my princess to go there."

However, Yu Yunxin was full of curiosity and anticipation. She widened her eyes and said excitedly, "No, I must go and have a look! Maybe I can find some jewels from the palace! Moreover, I want to see if anyone in the treasury that I manage dares to do something sneaky under my nose."

Nangong Lin's heart softened when he saw her insistence. He sighed helplessly and said gently, "Okay, if the princess really wants to go, then go back to the palace and change into a light outfit, and bring some silver and copper coins with you in case of emergency."

Yu Yunxin smiled with satisfaction when she heard this. She turned around, patted Nangong Lin's shoulder gently, and then ordered Qin Long to stop the carriage. She jumped off the carriage nimbly, her face filled with joy.

Nangong Lin shook his head helplessly and reminded: "Princess, don't forget that you have to go to the Cining Palace early tomorrow morning to pay your respects to the Queen Mother. I also have to attend the morning court, so I can't delay too long."
