At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

"You little brat, who am I, your master? I am the high priest of two countries. I can easily avoid even those heavily guarded guards in the border towers. Those ordinary guards in Prince Yu's Mansion are simply vulnerable." The ghost doctor had just made such a boast, but when he looked up, he was surprised to see Nangong Lin standing quietly in front of him without him knowing when.

The ghost doctor was shocked and cried out, "My goodness, we moved so lightly, how could you have noticed it?"

"Sir, you two masters and disciples are not sleeping in the middle of the night and are standing on the roof of my bedroom. What's going on? Aren't you afraid of corrupting the children?" Nangong Lin's voice came out coldly, as if with a hint of anger.

"How dare you say that! I waited for you at your Fengyu Rice Shop for most of the day, but you never came back. I had to sleep until the shops were closed." The ghost doctor explained as he took out one or two bags of jewelry he had obtained from the tomb robbers and Eunuch Hua yesterday, and said, "I have soaked these jewelry in special potions and cleaned them thoroughly. See how much food they can bring?"

"Get out of here! You're not sleeping in the middle of the night and you're climbing onto someone else's roof to discuss business. Is there something wrong with your brain? Why can't you wait until tomorrow noon to discuss it?" Nangong Lin responded angrily.

After hearing this, the ghost doctor said nothing more. He quietly packed up his things, put them on his back, and flew away. On the roof, only Nangong Lin, who was wearing thin clothes, was left. Looking at the direction where the ghost doctor left, he couldn't help but feel helpless. He looked down at the patrolling guards in the mansion and found that there were too few of them. So, he muttered in a low voice: "It seems that this king needs to add some more masters to the palace." Then he released a wolf, two monkeys and two wolves in the space.

He came to Qin Long and Bai Hu and asked them to go to the medicine store to find a few more dogs to guard the palace.

At this moment, the night was shrouded, the moonlight was still as cold as frost, and the entire palace was immersed in silence. However, deep in his heart, Nangong Lin had already begun to think about how to strengthen the defense of the palace...

He jumped down from the roof lightly, and then carefully closed the door, fearing that there would be any sound. Then, he hugged the sleeping Yu Yunxin tightly, gently inhaled the charming fragrance of her hair, closed his eyes, and fell asleep peacefully.

The next morning, Yu Yunxin went to the Cining Palace early to teach Concubine Li and the Queen Mother Tai Chi. She said to the Queen Mother, "Grandmother, the Treasure Pavilion in the palace will open today! Just wait and see how I will bring you a good start!"

The Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. "Great, you clever fellow! I have collected almost all the jewelry and jades given by the concubines in the harem these days. The Treasury has also been changed to the Treasure Pavilion. I can start exchanging new jewelry for the concubines. Just exchange them according to the points you set."

As the Queen Mother spoke, a kind smile spread across her face, like the warm sunshine in spring, making people feel warm.

The Queen Mother has been hosting banquets for everyone almost every day recently, and sometimes she would invite the Emperor and the concubines from various palaces to attend the banquet. To attend the dinner in Yuhua Palace, you must bring valuable gifts and jewelry. Whoever brings more valuable gifts will get more favor from the Queen Mother and Emperor Cheng. All these gifts, whether jewelry, jade or other things, were sent to the treasury by the Queen Mother. Because of this, the Queen Mother has even gained some weight in the past few days.

Yu Yunxin looked at the Queen Mother and said with a smile: "Grandmother is really amazing and is getting better and better at making money!"

"How can you, child, speak to the Queen Mother like that? You have no respect for your elders!" Upon seeing this, Concubine Li hurriedly reminded Yu Yunxin.

"Okay, okay, it's okay. Xin'er, you should leave the palace early today to make arrangements. Your mother and I are taking care of it in the palace." The Queen Mother didn't care. Instead, she was very tolerant of Yun Xin.

"By the way, there are people in the harem who are selling rewards privately. Grandmother and mother, please keep an eye on this." Yu Yunxin said.

"Okay, I understand, don't worry!" The Queen Mother signaled Yu Yunxin to be at ease.

I will take my leave now." Yu Yunxin bowed to the Queen Mother and said goodbye, then turned and left.

After Yu Yunxin bid farewell to the Queen Mother and Concubine Li, she went directly to Pinyuxuan without waiting for Nangong Lin to leave the palace. Today, Pinyuxuan held a big event. The current Pinyuxuan has three floors. The backyard and Xingxin Cloth Workshop have been connected by her, and she has recruited some embroiderers and jade craftsmen. She also had someone build a glass kiln in the empty space in the backyard. She asked Feihe to deliver all the things she bought at the ghost market the day before. Everyone in the backyard was busy with the things at hand. Some were making accessories for clothes, and others were re-polishing shells to make pendants and earrings. Don't underestimate these white shells, they are just white, they shine with colorful light in the sun.

They also used fine threads to string together several shell decorations, including sailboats, small flower baskets, and various other ornaments made of shells.

These days, even her personal maids Chunyu and Qiushuang have been busy here. Pang Jinhua and her four cousins-in-law have also sent maids to help. She only needs to say a word and someone will naturally do what she says. But she has too many things to do. All the maids and old women in the mansion are ordered around in Prince Yu's mansion. There is no idle person in the mansion. Even Nanny Li and Aunt Lianqiao were arranged by her to study various Chinese herbal skin care products in the pharmacy in the mansion. No one in the mansion has ever complained about her, because they also found their value in the mansion.

"Princess, I have been selling limited quantities of lipsticks at Xianzhi Pavilion these days, but they are still sold out! In addition, various soaps are also very popular, and many merchants from other places have asked me for goods!" Chunyu reported respectfully, holding the account book.

Yu Yunxin, Qiu Shuang and several palace maids were sorting out a batch of glass ornaments while responding, "Tell those merchants that our current inventory is limited and we can only distribute some goods to them equally. But the price must be based on our Xianzhi Pavilion's pricing and must not exceed one or two taels. If anyone dares to make a random offer, we will stop supplying him."

Chunyu smiled and replied, "As you wish!" Then, she took out a stack of banknotes and said happily, "This is the recent income of Xianzhi Pavilion, a total of 50,000 taels of silver!"

"Fifty thousand taels is a lot of money. Chunyu, you are really a good boss." Yu Yunxin praised Chunyu. She happened to have a pair of gold earrings made of glass in her hand. The earrings were in the shape of gold ingots. She picked them up and placed them next to Chunyu's ears and said, "These earrings are called Zhaocai Jinbao. They are suitable for a shopkeeper like you. Put them on and go to open the shop."

I thought that it was really easy to do business with the rich people in Beijing, especially the business of women. If I didn't own these shops, I would only be able to spend money.

"Yes, Princess." Chunyu happily took the earrings, put them on, and exited through the back door.

That's why she opened Xinxing Cloth Shop, Xianzhi Pavilion and Pinyuxuan Linglong Pavilion together for convenience.

"Are all the lucky bags ready?" Yu Yunxin asked everyone while looking at the counter that was almost tidied up.

"Everything is ready! There are goods in every bag." Si Niang brought a few servants, each holding a basket full of lucky bags. There are three colors of lucky bags here, and the price of each color is different. The gold ones can be drawn once you make a purchase of 300 taels, and there are also lucky bags of 20 wen and 1 tael of silver. The most valuable items in the lucky bags are different at different prices.

The twenty-cent ones are given to ordinary people who like the jewelry from the Treasure Pavilion but cannot afford it, so that they can promote it. The one-two-cent ones are given to ladies and girls from slightly wealthy families.

Si Niang originally wanted to leave today, but she felt reluctant to leave Yu Yunxin and Linglong Pavilion. After thinking about it, she decided to stay one more day and leave the capital early tomorrow morning.

Yu Yunxin looked at the prepared items and the spotless counter and said, "It's time for everyone to get ready to start today's jewelry exhibition."

As soon as Yu Yunxin said that, everyone opened the door and rushed out of Pinyuxuan excitedly, starting to set off firecrackers and lift the red cloth. A few servants outside the door shouted, "Don't miss it if you pass by. Pinyuxuan is having a big summer sale today. Buy anything you want and you'll get a lucky bag worth 20 wen when you enter the store. If you spend more than 20 liang, you'll get a lucky bag."

"Miss, you will be marrying into the prince's mansion soon. Why don't you go to this Pinyuxuan to see if there are any good things for your dowry?"

There were many people gathered in front of Pinyuxuan. A luxurious sedan chair with eight bearers stopped outside the crowd. A woman with a golden cloud pattern hat walked out of her house. Her face could not be seen because of the hat, but she must be a daughter of a noble family. When the lady got off the sedan chair, several guards made way for her through the crowd. A maid in brocade and red led the way, and a maid in blue silk clothes helped her into Pinyuxuan. Qiu Shuang greeted her immediately and said, "Miss, welcome to Pinyuxuan. There is a glass jewelry exhibition on the second floor. What can I do for you?"

"You? Aren't you the maidservant of Princess Yu?" the maidservant in red brocade clothes asked when she saw Qiu Shuang.

"Yes, this Pin Yuxuan is the property of my princess." Qiu Shuang replied.

"Your princess is really not as lucky as my young lady. Our young lady will marry into the Crown Prince's mansion in a while, and will be personally appointed Crown Princess by the Emperor." The maid in red said, "Ask your master to welcome our young lady. We want to see what good things there are."

"Sister Qin." Yu Yunxin said as she walked down from upstairs.

After entering the house, Qin Xiyan asked the maid in a blue silk dress to take off her hood, revealing a fair and beautiful face. She was wearing a purple cloud-colored brocade dress with a purple jade pendant tassel that was slightly darker than her clothes around her waist. It swayed gently with her elegant walk. When she walked in front of Qin Xiyan, both her clothes and her appearance outshone Qin Xiyan. Yu Yunxin seemed to shine no matter where she was.

"Princess Yu, I hope you are well." Qin Xiyan looked at Yu Yunxin and didn't know what to say, so she only squeezed out these words.

"Sister Qin, you haven't visited me for a long time. What are you choosing at my Pinyuxuan today? Look, I have tassel jade pendants, crystal bracelets, earrings, and necklaces. We have everything here." Yu Yunxin said as she gestured, showing off the things on her body wherever she spoke.

Although she wore an earring on one ear and a purple bead tassel on the other, she was really beautiful when matched with her clothes. With the glowing purple water bead hairpin on her head and the hairpin that made her look like a lotus emerging from water, even Qin Xiyan, who was a woman, couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Qin Xiyan couldn't help but ask, "Sister Xin'er, do you have any of these in your store?"

"Sister, you have some, and some are even prettier than mine. If you wear them, you will look stunningly beautiful." Yu Yunxin said as she prepared to take Qin Xiyan upstairs to see them. "All the treasures I have are upstairs. I'll take you there to have a look."

In this way, Qin Xiyan was pulled up to the second floor by Yu Yunxin without any resistance. When Qin Xiyan arrived on the second floor, she was attracted by the dazzling array of accessories on the second floor. Everything was a complete set, from hair accessories, earrings, necklaces, and jade pendants.

"Sister Qin, I have a complete set upstairs. Of course, I can also buy them separately. These are also assembled by the skilled craftsmen here." Yu Yun said to the stunned Qin Xiyan.

"Are these meant to be matched with clothes? Sister, your clothes will look great with these jewelry. Is there anyone who has the same ones as you?" Qin Xiyan was dazzled by the sight and finally looked at Yu Yunxin and said.

"Of course I have it. If you like it, I'll ask Qiu Shuang to get it for you." But this dress needs to be tailor-made at Linglong Pavilion next door." Yu Yun recommended.

"Okay, and what kind of clothes should I match with this set of light red jewelry? Sister, come and help me look." Qin Xiyan happily picked up the red suit that she had already looked at several times, her eyes full of anticipation.

This red dress is so beautiful and very suitable for weddings. Look at these jades. Under the red candlelight, they can even show the words "May you live happily ever after"! Otherwise, let me show it to my sister. "Yu Yunxin said as she walked briskly to the dressing table specially prepared for guests and lit a red candle. Then, she carefully picked up a red earring bead and looked at it in the candlelight. Sure enough, one side of the earring bead reflected the words "match made in heaven", and the other side said "May you live happily ever after".

"Wow, this is really great! Sister Xin'er, do you know who I am going to marry?" Qin Xiyan glanced at Yu Yunxin and asked.

"It's the current Crown Prince!" Yu Yunxin replied directly. She had already known about the Crown Prince's marriage from Nangong Lin. Qin Xiyan became more and more happy after hearing what Yu Yunxin said, and she liked this red suit more and more. She secretly made up her mind to buy this set of jewelry. After all, owning such exquisite jewelry would undoubtedly add more joy and beautiful memories to her wedding.

"Then let me congratulate you, sister. You will be the Crown Princess in the future. Please take care of me more in the future." Yu Yunxin wished sincerely.

"Don't you think you and Prince Yu are a match made in heaven? You see, Prince Yu's stupidity was cured not long after you got married. Then, isn't my fate with the prince the same?" Qin Xiyan said as she held Yu Yunxin's hand, and continued, "I know that the Crown Princess was originally your younger sister's. It was your second sister who was jealous of you and tried to seduce the prince at the palace banquet. She didn't expect such a thing to happen, and she is too embarrassed to go out! Alas, but it's better this way, it's a good deal for me. It's just... do you think the Crown Prince really wants to marry me? After all, so many things happened before..." Qin Xiyan's face showed a trace of worry.
