Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

It was October, the sun was shining brightly, and the weather was crisp. The streets of the capital were crowded with people, laughing and talking, and it was very lively. A luxurious carriage slowly passed by, with gorgeous patterns on the body and the windows closed. Behind the carriage followed a team of guards, who were carrying a total of 38 large boxes, each of which was tied with a bright red ribbon.

People stopped to watch and talked about it: "Whose carriage is this? It's so magnificent!" Someone noticed the logo on the carriage and shouted in surprise: "Look, isn't that the carriage of the Regent's Palace? Could it be that the Regent is coming?" Immediately, there was a commotion in the crowd.

The carriage stopped in front of the Prime Minister's residence, and the guards placed the boxes neatly at the door. At this time, the Prime Minister and his family hurried over, his face filled with joy. He saluted the carriage respectfully and said loudly: "Welcome to His Royal Highness the Regent!"

The curtain of the carriage was gently lifted, revealing a handsome and majestic face. The regent glanced at the prime minister and others indifferently, and then ordered the guards to open the box. The box was filled with precious items such as gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, shining with dazzling light.

The Prime Minister and his family were stunned and secretly happy. The Prime Minister said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Highness, the Regent, for your gift. It is a blessing for my daughter to receive your favor!" The Regent nodded slightly and said nothing.

Afterwards, the Prime Minister led the whole family to pay their respects to the Regent and thank him, and invited him to rest in the palace. However, the Regent coldly refused, and drove away after saying a few words. The Prime Minister watched the carriage go away, secretly relieved, but also a little worried.

He turned to his family and said, "This time, it's all thanks to that girl Yun Yuxi who added so much makeup to Yan'er. We must serve her carefully in the future and not let her suffer any grievances again." Although Liu was a little dissatisfied when she heard this, she did not dare to show it and could only nod in agreement.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, everyone was busy packing up the precious gifts. Yun Ruyan was secretly happy, thinking that she could finally hold her head high. Meanwhile, Liu was excitedly thinking about how to use the wealth to consolidate her position.

"Your Highness, let's go to Sihai Restaurant for a good meal first. We'll return to the Prime Minister's Mansion later to watch a show. Today, the Second Prince will definitely go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to add to his dowry. After all, Yun Ruyan is his principal wife, so this etiquette cannot be omitted. On that Double Ninth Festival, I clearly saw the Second Prince flirting with my third sister Yun Jinxi, but he asked for Yun Ruyan's hand in marriage. I caught Yun Jinxi's vicious and calculating look, and I guess there will be a good show at the Prime Minister's Mansion today," Yun Yuxi said firmly and confidently.

"You, aren't you afraid that your prime minister father will be embarrassed?" Yan Wuque joked with a smile.

"What does the Prime Minister's Mansion have to do with me? I'm already married. The shame is none of my business and it won't affect me. It will just implicate the sisters from other rooms to some extent."

Soon they arrived at the Sihai Restaurant, and Yun Yuxi and Yan Wuque went to the VIP room which was not open to the public. This was Yun Yuxi's exclusive room, and no one could enter without permission.

Soon the head shopkeeper personally led the waiter to serve the dishes, and then reported on the recent situation of Sihai Restaurant.

Yan Wuque carefully peeled crayfish for Yun Yuxi. His graceful movements were like a beautiful landscape. Yun Yuxi just ate and enjoyed it heartlessly. Seeing that Yan Wuque, the regent, actually lowered himself to peel shrimps for her, Yun Yuxi was deeply moved. So she also peeled shrimps for Yan Wuque and fed them into Yan Wuque's mouth.

The two of them at this moment were just like an ordinary couple in the market. The scene was very warm, and Yun Yuxi actually had a feeling that the years were peaceful and quiet.

After eating and drinking well, Yun Yuxi looked at the account book and prepared to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion with Yan Wuque, but the shopkeeper stopped Yun Yuxi and spoke.

"Your Highness. Recently, many restaurants have been selling crayfish, and our business is also declining. What should we do?" the chief shopkeeper said worriedly.

"It's okay. In a few days, our business will be getting better and better. Their crayfish can't taste like ours. That's because they don't have our seasoning. In a few days, I will ask Lingyi to send you two new dishes. I guarantee that they are not available in other restaurants." Yun Yuxi said calmly.

Then the two returned to the prime minister's residence.

"Master, the Regent and the Second Miss are here," Xiao Si reported.

"Please invite them to the hall quickly, I will be there soon." The prime minister said hurriedly.

"Father. We had some things to deal with back then. Now that we're done, we've come back to see grandma," Yun Yuxi said calmly.

"Okay. Your grandmother is worried about you, so go ahead. Let the prince stay in the hall. Father has something to discuss with the prince. The second prince sent someone to say that he will come in person to add makeup to your sister later. You can stay in the prime minister's residence for a while to have dinner." The prime minister smiled.

The old Prime Minister and the cunning fox Yan Wuque were testing each other, and soon the second prince really arrived.

"Greetings, Uncle Emperor," the Second Prince bowed politely.

"Well, get busy," Yan Wuque replied.

"Prime Minister, I am here today to add makeup to Yan'er. Please take me to see Yan'er." The second prince said with a smile.

So the prime minister asked Xiao Si to take the second prince to Yun Ruyan's Ruyan Pavilion.

The second prince looked at the decoration layout of Ruyan Pavilion and couldn't help feeling happy. "It seems that the prime minister really loves Yun Ruyan. From now on, I will have the prime minister's help." The second prince happily went to see Yun Ruyan.

"Yan'er, these are the dowry I give you, and the reward from my mother," the second prince said to Yun Ruyan with pretended affection.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Yun Ruyan looked at those exquisite jewelry and finally looked at the Second Prince with a better face.

After a while, the second prince found an excuse to leave, and his guards kept winking at him.

"Hmph. If I hadn't been attracted by your status and position, and if you weren't the one who most likely would be my future husband, I wouldn't have married you. You're not even a little bit inferior to Yan Wuque." Yun Ruyan despised the second prince in her heart.

"Jinxi, you are really going to kill me. If your elder sister finds out, this marriage will be aborted. I love you, but my mother likes your elder sister, and I cannot go against my mother's wishes," the second prince deceived Yun Jinxi.

Yun Jinxi leaned boldly against the second prince's chest and said, "Your Highness, you said you would marry me as your principal wife, but now you ask for your sister's hand in marriage. What about me?" Yun Jinxi questioned.

"Be good. Don't worry, although I have married her, I don't love her. After she gets married, I will ask my mother to give you the position of concubine. In the future, you will have the help of the prime minister. I will compete for that position one day and promise you the position of queen. Concubine is just a stopgap measure." The second prince continued to paint a big picture.

The idiot Yun Jinxi actually believed the Second Prince's clumsy lies.
