Lin Dengyuan watched as both of them closed their eyes, with a barely perceptible smile on his lips. He quietly took out the plum blossom dart from his bosom, and then carefully aimed at the candlelight in the carriage. He raised his hand, and the plum blossom dart flew out like lightning, accurately hitting the candlelight. In an instant, most of the candlelight in the carriage went out, leaving only a few faint moonlights swaying in the darkness.

Lin Dengyuan was secretly delighted. He was about to take advantage of the darkness to get closer to Yu Yunxin, but suddenly he felt a strong force coming towards him. Before he could react, he was kicked out of the car by Nangong Lin.

Zhuque, who was outside, saw this scene and couldn't help but chuckled, "Fifth Young Master, you'd better stay outside. Don't disturb the prince and the princess. Everyone knows what you're thinking. Now that the princess has married Prince Yu, they are a perfect match in the capital. What's more, didn't you express your feelings to the princess before? Since she has chosen Prince Yu, why are you so persistent?"

After hearing what Zhuque said, Lin Dengyuan's face turned very ugly. He snorted coldly and said, "What do you know! Stop talking nonsense! I will get off the car after entering the city, and out of sight, out of mind!" After that, he turned his head and ignored Zhuque.

As time went by, the sky gradually brightened. When the carriage rushed to the east gate of the capital, the morning market here had already begun to bustle. Many officials living in the eastern suburbs also drove carriages or rode horses to the palace to attend the morning court. The streets were crowded with people, and various sounds intertwined, forming a noisy scene.

The morning market in the outer city of East City was bustling with people. The city gates here would be opened at five o'clock every morning so that the officials attending the court could have breakfast in time. When the carriage slowly drove into the city gate, it was still dawn, but Lin Dengyuan had already got off the carriage with his belongings.

"Your Highness, Princess, we've arrived at the Dongcheng morning market." Suzaku shouted.

Yu Yunxin rubbed her eyes, pulled open the car curtain, and asked curiously, "What is the breakfast here?"

"Princess, don't you want to see the morning market? Zhuque, slow down the carriage so that Princess can have a good look at the morning market." Nangong Lin said gently.

Nangong Lin carefully took Yu Yunxin back and forth in the car, then flashed into the space, quickly washed up, heated two cups of coffee, and drank them before leaving the space with the two of them. He put a veil on Yu Yunxin's head and whispered, "It's early in the morning and there's a lot of dew outside, so you'd better wear a veil." The gauze of the veil gently brushed across her face, adding a touch of mystery and charm to her.

In fact, Yu Yunxin originally wanted to refuse to wear this thing, after all, it would block her vision. But Nangong Lin insisted that she wear it, so she had no choice but to obey. Afterwards, the two of them sat in the car together, looking at the bustling morning market in front of them, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: What a picture full of the atmosphere of fireworks in the world!

As the carriage moved forward, Yu Yunxin curiously observed the scene of the morning market through the gaps in the fence. The streets were lined with various stalls, and the stall owners enthusiastically hawked their goods. The aroma of food filled the air, arousing people's appetite. The fresh fruits and vegetables were colorful, and the cakes and snacks were dazzling, making people salivate.

Yu Yunxin excitedly pointed to a stall selling pancakes, "That looks delicious!"

"Okay, we can buy some to try later." Nangong Lin responded lovingly.

People are bustling in the morning market, some are bargaining, some are tasting food, and some are choosing their favorite items. This morning market full of vitality and vigor is like a vivid market painting, showing every bit of the life of ordinary people in Beijing. Yu Yunxin is immersed in it, feeling this unique atmosphere, and her heart is filled with joy.

Gradually, the sun rose slowly, and the warm sunlight sprinkled on the morning market, as if covering everything with a layer of golden gauze. Yu Yunxin and Nangong Lin also blended into this lively scene, enjoying their own morning time.

I saw several villagers wearing patched clothes carrying fresh vegetables into the city to sell; and several women carrying baskets, shouting: "Cooked pancakes, big and fragrant, only two cents each!" Hearing such shouts, Yu Yunxin couldn't help but think of the scene in "Water Margin" where Wu Dalang was selling pancakes. However, at this moment, it was several women who were shouting.

"Zhuque, do you have any copper coins with you? How much is a steamed bun?" Yu Yunxin turned to Zhuque who was driving the carriage and asked.

"Princess, why do you want to eat that kind of whole grain cake? It's not tasty at all." Zhuque replied, "How about I go to Mingyanglou in front and buy you a bowl of fragrant preserved egg and lean meat porridge."

"No! This princess wants to try the pancakes made by ordinary people." Yu Yunxin responded firmly.

"Okay, I'll buy it for you right away." Zhuque stopped the carriage without saying anything, jumped off the carriage, and quickly bought three Cui cakes. He handed two of them to Yu Yunxin, and carefully put the remaining one in his arms.

Yu Yunxin took the large pancake that only cost two coins each, handed one to Nangong Lin, and then sat back in the car with him. The two of them ate it without hesitation. Unexpectedly, the pancake tasted quite good, so they ate it with relish.

"I never thought that a princess of the second rank would like these ordinary foods of common people." Nangong Lin said with a smile while chewing the food in his mouth and looking at Yu Yunxin whose cheeks were bulging with food.

"Well...it's okay! If you want to have a good appetite, you have to taste the various flavors of the world from time to time, right? Besides, after you are full, don't you still have to go to the palace to attend court?" Yu Yunxin responded softly.

Before Nangong Lin started to play dumb, the servants in the mansion often gave him these things to eat, but they were all cold. Over time, he slowly got used to it. Today, he didn't expect that eating with Yu Yunxin would be particularly delicious. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's true! Only by understanding the various tastes of the world can you truly understand the ups and downs of the people."

At this moment, Yu Yunxin suddenly remembered what the tomb robber said about Qizhou in the ghost market. She couldn't help but say, "Aren't you going to court? Then can you help the dead tomb robber? Although tomb robbing is really abominable, they have no choice! God has given the tomb robber the punishment he deserves, but the living conditions of the people in Qizhou he described seem to be different from what they know. In Nanling County, Hu Li told her that Qizhou is also a wealthy place. How come it is different from what the tomb robber said?"

"The prefect of Qizhou is Prime Minister Meng's favorite student, and it seems that the prefect is the son-in-law of a branch of the Meng family. This matter really needs to be investigated thoroughly. I didn't expect that you not only spent 200,000 taels of silver on a trip to the ghost market, but you could still remember the matter of the tomb robber?" Nangong Lin was a little surprised by Yun Xin's behavior and couldn't help asking.

“How could I easily forget a person who was alive and well and alive, dying right in front of my eyes? It was only because I frantically bought and played those Indian harps that I was able to temporarily cover up the shadow deep in my heart.” He forced a smile towards Nangong Lin.

Afterwards, the two of them came out of the palace together, and everything was the same as usual. However, for Yu Yunxin today, the most important task was to make transparent glass. After teaching the Queen Mother and Concubine Li Tai Chi, she carefully poured the filtered lime and quartz into the kiln in front of the glass kiln, and then quietly waited for the time to come out of the kiln. Time passed by minute by minute, and Yu Yunxin fell asleep sitting by the kiln without realizing it.

At this time, Concubine Li, who was passing by, happened to see this scene. She hurried forward, with a gentle smile on her face, and said softly: "Child, how can you sleep here? It's windy here, and it's easy to catch a cold and get sick. If you are tired, come to my palace to rest for a while!"

At this moment, the palace servant behind her shouted in surprise: "Your Majesty, the colored glaze made by the princess this time was successful! And it is transparent, without any impurities!"

It turned out that it was Liu Fu, the strongest man in the Cuiyu Palace, who was staring at him ecstatically as he had just blown out a transparent glass bottle. The palace maid screamed.

Hearing this news, Concubine Li couldn't help but widen her eyes and showed an expression of disbelief. She walked quickly to Liu Fu's side and carefully observed the transparent glass bottle, her heart filled with joy and surprise.

"Is...is this really colored glass? It's so pure and transparent, it's simply a miracle!" Concubine Li was so excited that her voice trembled.

Liu Fu nodded excitedly and said, "Yes, Madam, we have tried countless times and finally succeeded! The princess's filtering method is really superb. After filtering the wood ash, it is fired in a special way, and finally such a perfect and transparent colored glaze is obtained."

A trace of admiration flashed in Concubine Li's eyes, and she murmured to herself: "Princess Yu is indeed very smart."

Concubine Li knew that this matter must not be known to others, so she decided to keep this achievement secret and go to tell the emperor in person.

She warned Liu Fu and the others, "Don't make this matter public. Wait until I report this to the emperor before making a decision. You must continue to work hard and don't tell anyone yet."

After hearing this, Yu Yunxin felt a clear and bright air pouring into her head, and she woke up instantly. She walked forward with Concubine Li and carefully examined the items in front of them. She saw that an ancient and transparent glass bottle had been formed, and its craftsmanship was exquisite and amazing. Yu Yunxin couldn't help but sighed: "This Liu Fu is really talented. He can blow this bottle so beautifully!"

Seeing this, Concubine Li praised with joy: "Eunuch Liu, you are really skilled! This glass bottle is so beautiful, it is rare."

Liu Fu quickly bowed and thanked her: "Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty! The reason why this bottle is so exquisite is all thanks to the guidance of Princess Yu. Compared with the past, this time the blowing is indeed much smoother."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yunxin smiled happily and said, "That's great! This way, she can start another business." She thought to herself that the two hundred thousand taels of silver she spent last night might finally be earned back.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Li looked at Yu Yunxin with a smile and said earnestly, "Child, isn't this action just to increase the revenue of the treasury for your father?"

"Yes! Yes! This is from my father. You forgot how happy I am." Yu Yunxin replied hurriedly. She thought to herself: If this kind of thing can be mass-produced, it can not only be used in jewelry making, but also made into cups, bottles and other items to sell and make money. Even windows can be installed with this kind of glass!

At this time, Concubine Li looked at the glass bottle in her hand with great joy, and said to Nanny Lian beside her: "We must report this good news to His Majesty as soon as possible." After that, she asked Nanny Lian to rush to the gate of the palace with the glass bottle. Just as they were about to step out of the palace gate, they met the Queen who was walking towards them.

When the Queen saw the glass bottle in Lian Ma's hand, she knew that this glass bottle was priceless, and the glass was of such good quality. The Queen thought to herself, wondering if it was a gift from Concubine Li to the Queen Mother. Yesterday, she was outshined by Concubine Wang. Today, she found several coral ornaments to give to the Queen Mother, and she couldn't let this crystal cup of such good quality outshine her. She deliberately let the maids around her rush over. When Lian Ma and the bottle fell backwards together, Yu Yunxin dodged and supported Lian Ma. The bottle that was about to fall to the ground was also caught steadily by Yu Yunxin's outstretched foot. This action was like a set of acrobatic dance moves. Fortunately, she knew kung fu and Yu Yunxin completed it easily.

After steadying Nanny Lian, she bent down and picked up the bottle and said, "Are all the maids in the Queen's palace so ignorant of the rules? They are so reckless."

Concubine Li was also very surprised to see the queen walking outside her palace, and she quickly stood up and saluted: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, the queen!"

The Queen looked at Concubine Li and said calmly, "Get up!"

After thanking her, Concubine Li stood up and said, "I wonder what brings the Queen to my palace?"

The queen smiled and said, "I was passing by and saw the maid in my sister's palace being so reckless. I thought she should be taught a lesson." After saying that, she looked at the maid who had caused the trouble.

Concubine Li knew that the Queen was looking for trouble, but she still replied calmly: "Sister Queen, please forgive this maid. Isn't my glass bottle not broken? Even if it is broken, there is no need to punish her like this."

After hearing what Concubine Li said, the maid thought she could escape, and immediately knelt down in front of Concubine Li and begged, "Concubine Li, please save me! Please save me! I really didn't mean it..."

Seeing this, Concubine Li couldn't help but feel some sympathy for the maid, so she continued to plead with the queen, "Queen, why do you have to embarrass this maid?"
