Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

"Princess, the steward of the farm outside the city is here and wants to see the princess," the butler reported to Nuanyu Pavilion.

"Butler. I don't know the steward outside the city. Why are you looking for me?" Yun Yuxi asked a little puzzled.

"Princess, you are now in charge of the household affairs of the palace. All matters in the palace are under your jurisdiction. If something big happens, the managers everywhere must come back to the palace to report to you," the butler explained, stroking his goatee.

Yun Yuxi changed into casual clothes and followed the housekeeper to the flower hall, ready to meet the manager of the manor. After all, as the queen of the palace, she had to take care of the trivial matters of the palace.

"I kowtow to Her Majesty the Princess, and wish you good health and happiness. I am the manager of a farm outside the city. Something strange has happened recently. Many insects have appeared in our paddy fields. I am afraid that the rice harvest this year will not be ideal. I dare not delay and have come to ask for Her Majesty the Princess's instructions."

"You. Stand up and talk. Tell me in detail what kind of insect is so powerful," Yun Yuxi asked.

"I don't recognize this kind of insect. It used to be in the ditches, but it wasn't as rampant as it is now, and it didn't affect the crops too much, so I didn't report it." The manager said slowly.

"You mean, this kind of insect has always existed and lives in water?" Yun Yuxi had a bold guess in her mind, so she asked again, "Butler, please get me paper and pen," Yun Yuxi said excitedly.

Upon hearing this, the housekeeper turned around to make arrangements. Yun Yuxi said happily, "Butler, I'm afraid you have done a great job this time. I'll draw the appearance of the insect with a pen and you can see if it is it."

After a while, the housekeeper came back with paper and pen. Yun Yuxi rolled up her sleeves and quickly drew and wrote on the paper. Soon, a vivid crayfish appeared on the paper.

"Manager, take a look. Is this the kind of insect?" Yun Yuxi showed the painting to the manager.

"Princess, you are amazing! How did you know it was this kind of insect?" the steward said in surprise.

"Butler, go get fifty taels of silver for this steward. What is his name?" Although the butler looked confused, seeing the unconcealed joy on Yun Yuxi's face, he nodded and went to the storehouse to withdraw the silver.

"Your Highness, I am Li Dazhuang." Li Dazhuang looked at Yun Yuxi blankly and said.

"Li Dazhuang, you have done a great job! This kind of insect is called crayfish. Go back and arrange for someone to catch a few large buckets, and send them to the palace and hand them over to the housekeeper tomorrow. Don't let this matter leak out." Yun Yuxi said with a smile.

Li Dazhuang took the silver and left happily. The housekeeper couldn't help but ask curiously: "Princess, what's the use of this crayfish? This kind of insect is everywhere."

Yun Yuxi smiled mysteriously and said, "Butler, I will cook myself tomorrow and make a delicious meal for everyone. When Li Dazhuang delivers the crayfish tomorrow, remember to come to Nuanyu Pavilion to inform me. Also, ask the kitchen to buy more garlic, peppercorns and chili peppers today. I will use them to cook tomorrow." After that, she turned and left, leaving the butler with a puzzled look on his face.

The butler muttered to himself: "Is the princess really going to eat those insects called crayfish tomorrow?" When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill, and the hairs on his body stood up.

Yun Yuxi left the flower hall with a smile, muttering to herself, "Oh. God is so kind to me. I was just worried that this restaurant didn't have a signature dish, but it actually let me order crayfish." Thinking of the crayfish that were sold hot in the streets and alleys in her previous life, Yun Yuxi suddenly felt a little homesick, and her mood instantly became a little depressed.

"Princess, Aunt Xiuhe is here and said that the Queen Mother wants you to come to the palace," Banxia said. Yun Yuxi's thoughts were instantly pulled back, and she suddenly remembered that the women in the palace were still waiting for her skin care water. She was afraid that Aunt Xiuhe came here just for this skin care water.

"Aunt Xiuhe. Why are you here?" Yun Yuxi asked in surprise.

"Hello, Princess. The Queen Mother misses you. She sent me to invite you to the palace. Various ladies go to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace every day to ask about skin care lotion. I wonder if the Princess is ready." Aunt Xiuhe said respectfully.

"Aunt Xiuhe, please wait a moment. I'll go change my clothes and follow you into the palace. I've made some skin care lotion, and there's still a bottle for each concubine in the palace. Please rest assured, Aunt," Yun Yuxi said with a smile.

Yun Yuxi returned to the room, changed into clothes suitable for entering the palace, and quickly exchanged the famous brand skin water used in her previous life from the space. She ordered the space baby to quickly unpack the packaging, mix each bottle with spring water, and then put them into the porcelain bottles owned by this dynasty.

"Master, I want chicken legs," the baby cried in dissatisfaction. Yun Yuxi coaxed, "Baby, I will definitely bring you ten chicken legs next time." Yun Yuxi looked at the points disappearing quickly, feeling very painful, and it seemed that she had to find a way to earn more points.

Yun Yuxi told Banxia to pack up the porcelain bottles and arranged for Banxia to guard Nuanyu Pavilion. She took Yuelan and Xiuhe to the palace. Banxia was a little dissatisfied, and Yun Yuxi patiently explained. "The palace is different from the outside. You have no martial arts skills and are in great danger. Yuelan is a martial arts expert. In addition to protecting me, she can also get out of trouble by herself." Banxia was quiet.

"Princess, Miss Bai also came to the palace today and accused you of beating her in front of the Queen Mother. You have to be more careful," Aunt Xiuhe reminded.

"Thank you for your advice, aunt." Yun Yuxi gave Yuelan a look, and Yuelan understood and stuffed a purse into Aunt Xiuhe's hand.

"Queen Mother. The Regent Princess has arrived," said the maid.

"Please come in quickly. Don't you see that the ladies from all the palaces are waiting?" the Queen Mother said majestically. Only Bai Ling had a vicious look in her eyes when she heard that Yun Yuxi was coming.

"Your son pays homage to the Queen Mother. May your Majesty be well!" Yun Yuxi bowed neither humbly nor arrogantly. The queens in the palace looked at Yun Yuxi as if they were seeing a treasure. Their eyes were eager, making Yun Yuxi feel uncomfortable.

"Girl, don't be so polite. I miss you so much. Did you bring the skin care water today? Everyone is waiting for you," said the Queen Mother with a loving smile.

"Mother, yes. Yuelan, please give the skin care water to everyone. Mother, the quantity is limited. We can only guarantee two bottles for each lady in each palace," Yun Yuxi said slowly.

The ladies in each palace paid the silver bills very happily. Yuelan received so much money that her hands were soft. She muttered in her heart, "The princess is really good at making money. Following the princess is the best choice I have ever made in my life."

The ladies in each palace left one by one, but the meaningful look in the Queen's eyes when she was leaving made Yun Yuxi feel a little uncomfortable, and her heart was full of vigilance. Although there was no conflict with the Queen at the moment, the Queen looked at her with a somewhat cold gaze.

"Girl, I want to eat the food you cook," said the Queen Mother a little embarrassedly.

"Mother, what do you want to eat? I will make it for you," Yun Yuxi said obediently.

"Aunt, no matter what my cousin's wife will do, you'd better not make things difficult for her. It will be embarrassing for my cousin's wife," Bai Ling said maliciously.

The Queen Mother looked at Bai Ling with displeasure and scolded her, "Ling'er, don't talk nonsense. She is your cousin's sister-in-law. She is my daughter-in-law, and you have no right to make up stories. If you do that once, get out of here, go back to the Bai family." The sharpness in the Queen Mother's tone scared Bai Ling.

"Mother, why are you angry? It's normal for my cousin to have a problem with me, mother. I'll make some delicious side dishes for you right away." After saying that, Yun Yuxi bowed and took Yue Lan to the small kitchen in the Empress Dowager's palace.
