Fu Yunjing went to the academy, planning to look for Lin Jianyue after school. He left in a huff yesterday, and he didn't know what she would think. He didn't expect Lin Jianyue to be waiting for him there early.

"Miss, it's the prince."

Hehuan was sitting in the carriage and immediately saw Fu Yunjing walking towards the academy. She shouted happily into the carriage.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianyue quickly lifted the curtain and got out of the car.

"Yun Jing!" She called out with a bright smile, trotting towards him, and then, ignoring the students who were arriving at the entrance of the academy, she hugged his arm affectionately in front of everyone: "It's my fault, please don't be angry with me, I care about you too much, I love you too much, so I couldn't help but go to find Gu Zhiyin."

When she spoke softly and coquettishly, Fu Yunjing's heart suddenly softened and he couldn't bear to say anything to her.

"Yue'er, I will definitely do what I promised you. However, she is the princess of a county, so we should still give her some respect on the surface. But I promise that I will never get entangled with her, and you must not go to her to make trouble again."

Lin Jianyue heard his gentle and coaxing voice and responded without hesitation: "Okay, okay, I promise you I won't look for her anymore."

"Good girl!" Fu Yunjing touched her face and chuckled, "I have already told my family to pick an auspicious day to welcome you into the mansion..."

Before she finished speaking, Lin Jianyue looked at Fu Yunjing with joy: "Are you going to be a concubine?"

After she enters the palace, she will slowly deal with the bitch Gu Zhiyin. Sooner or later, she will take the position of the queen.

Fu Yunjing was burned by her hopeful and expectant gaze, and his cheeks felt hot. He coughed awkwardly, "No... No."

"Not a concubine?" Lin Jianyue's voice suddenly became shrill, and the joyful expression on her face cracked.

Fu Yunjing quickly comforted her, "Yue'er, let's take it step by step. Although you are my aunt, my father and grandmother have already agreed that once you become pregnant, they will follow my wishes and make you my concubine."

When Lin Jianyue heard this, his expression did not improve, but became even darker.

She was chosen by heaven to travel through time and space, and was destined to be rich and glorious. Even though she started out as an actress, she was able to charm the prince Fu Yunjing and fall head over heels in love with her.

Do I really have to enter the palace and become a concubine?

She was given the position of concubine only after she became pregnant. Did she give her virginity to Fu Yunjing just for this status which was a little better than that of a concubine but still a concubine?

Although she is a modern person who doesn't care about her virginity, she still feels a bit disadvantaged no matter how you think about it.

But the person of the most distinguished status that I have met since I traveled through time is Fu Yunjing. If I really want to go further, I must get into the circle of wealthy families.

To go or not to go?

Lin Jianyue bit her lip and thought for a long time before she leaned against Fu Yunjing's chest with a gentle look on her face: "I will listen to you. As long as I can be with you, I am willing to do anything."

Whether she wanted to get the position of the principal wife or to move up a level, she had to enter the Prince of Pingyang's Palace. Otherwise, if she lived in the other courtyard, she would either see Fu Yunjing or at worst his cronies, whose identities and backgrounds were inferior to his.

The young masters from noble families who are better than him are all studying in the Imperial College. Fu Yunjing is a fool who can't even enter the gate of the Imperial College. How can she know him?

The day when Lin Jianyue would move in was scheduled for the end of the month.

Gu Zhiyin ordered people to renovate Yizhenyuan and add things according to the rules, and Fu Yunjing later added a lot of good things for her.

"I have checked. Many of the treasures in the Duobao Pavilion are not what a concubine like her is qualified to use. The brocade boxes on the dressing table contain countless luxurious jewelry and head ornaments. As a concubine, her pomp and expense are no less than those of a princess of a county." When Ruyi thought of what she had seen in Yizhenyuan, she felt indignant on behalf of her master.

"The prince dotes on her, so it's normal for him to want to give her the best." Gu Zhiyin turned over a page of the account book and said with a slightly frowned brow.

The owner of this silk shop is playing tricks.

Ruyi poured her some tea and said, "You can't go past you, Princess."

"It doesn't matter. The prince can only give her more good things. He can't surpass me in other aspects."

Fu Yunjing still has this sense of propriety.

"Oh!" Ruyi responded weakly. It was aggrieved to have so many women entering the mansion to share the favor. What's more, she was the beloved woman of Prince Ming. How could her master compete for her?

Gu Zhiyin didn't notice her maid's sad face. She tapped the booklet with her green jade fingers and ordered, "Go and tell Zheng Zongguan to ask the shopkeepers to come to the palace tomorrow to see him."

"Yes, I'll go right away." Ruyi responded quickly and turned to leave the house.

The next day, the breeze was warm, the branches and leaves were swaying, and the warm sunlight was shining through the gaps between the leaves.

Gu Zhiyin met with the shop owners of various shops under the palace in the main hall of the front yard.

A dozen shopkeepers were sitting on both sides. When they saw Gu Zhiyin slowly walk in, they all stood up and saluted.

"Greetings to the Princess of the County. Long live the Princess of the County!"

Gu Zhiyin calmly sat down at the head of the table, smiling gently and dignifiedly as she nodded to the shopkeepers: "No need to be polite, shopkeepers. Please take a seat."

"Thank you, Princess."

Everyone thanked him and sat down.

"We heard that the old princess handed over the management of the palace's finances to the princess of the county, so we have long wanted to visit her. After seeing her today, we can see that the princess of the county is truly otherworldly." The shopkeeper sitting in the front row said with a smile.

Does this mean that she is beautiful but not necessarily talented?

Gu Zhiyin glanced at him and immediately matched his name with the names of all the shopkeepers that Mother Qin had told her about before.

"Shopkeeper Qi, thank you for your praise. I still have a lot to learn from you shopkeepers."

She smiled faintly, looking soft as if she couldn't understand the meaning of Manager Qi's words.

Shopkeeper Qi was somewhat surprised that Gu Zhiyin recognized him. It seemed that she had done a lot of homework during the time she married into the palace.

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. The Princess of the County is deeply trusted by the old Princess. I think she must be very promising. Maybe we old guys will need to ask the Princess of the County for more advice. Don't you think so?"

Shopkeeper Qi said this with a smiling face, and finally glanced at the other shopkeepers and asked.

The others clearly followed the attitude of Shopkeeper Qi, and all echoed him.

Gu Zhiyin immediately understood. No wonder Manager Qi was so bold. It turned out that he had been flattered by others for so many years and his courage had grown.

"I dare not ask for your advice, but there is one thing I don't understand, and I need Manager Qi to help me solve it."

Shopkeeper Qi: "Please speak, Princess."

Ruyi held a stack of account books in her hand. Gu Zhiyin picked up the top one and flipped through it while saying:

"Manager Qi runs a silk and satin shop under the name of the palace, but the profits have been declining year by year in recent years. Last year, he even lost a thousand taels of silver."
