Heartstrings Resonance: The Beloved Princess of the Female Power

Ruoxia then asked, "Where is that woman from before?"

Aunt Ku Yue smiled and said, "They've all arrived home!"

Ruoxia suddenly realized, "That's her house. Why did she bring us all this way just to buy those potatoes?"

"That's right!" Mu Yunxi looked at her with a smile.

Ruoxia grumbled and complained, "This woman is so cunning! She didn't even tell us the truth the whole way."

"Silly girl, business is all about mutual consent. Besides, we bought this profitable thing, so we made a profit!" Nanny Ku Yue comforted her.

Hearing what Aunt Ku Yue said, Ruoxia's originally puffed-up face instantly brightened up, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, Aunt, you're absolutely right! When I think about it carefully, it's really the case. I was too picky. I'm just a little angry that she kept it a secret from us."

"You! You've been living too comfortably in the Princess's Mansion!" Ruo Chan said as he poked her forehead with his finger.

At this time, Aunt Ku Yue smiled and said, "We are on guard against her, and she is also on guard against us, so... no one should say anything about anyone else!"

Mu Yunxi and Yongle sat opposite them, holding hands, and just watched them laughing and playing quietly.

Soon, they arrived at the port where the Zhaoyang ship was docked. Ruoxia jumped off the carriage first and prepared to enter the city, but accidentally hit her head. "Ouch!" she screamed.

"What's wrong?" Everyone hurried to show concern.

Ruoxia rubbed her head and complained, "The door of this carriage is too low. It's nothing like the carriages in our Zhao Kingdom."

Everyone had noticed this difference a while ago, but their excitement about buying high-yield grain had overshadowed their curiosity about the carriage. Mu Yunxi couldn't help but smile. "This door is arched, and the front is lower. Be careful when getting in and out," she said.

"The door also opens on the side, which is convenient!" Yongle also said.

Wu Jianghua saw them return and immediately disembarked to greet them. He first saluted Yongle and said, "Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Then he said with some concern, "Next time, bring more people with you. If all else fails, bring two lieutenants! You've been away for so long, and I've been worried about you!"

Seeing the genuine worry on Wu Jianghua's face, Mu Yunxi apologized, "I'm sorry to have worried you, uncle. We bought some grain and had it brought back to the ship. We need to keep it safe and make sure it doesn't get wet! Also, we need to pay Mr. Nalu the thirty-four knives and the twenty knives for the two carts."

While listening, Wu Jianghua ordered people to move potatoes and asked someone to get money.

Mu Yunxi sorted through the seeds she'd bought today: one and a half kilograms of tomato seeds, two kilograms of cucumber seeds, six ounces of eggplant seeds, two and a half kilograms of pepper seeds, fifty-three kilograms of sweet potatoes, and over a thousand kilograms of potatoes. Mu Yunxi was quite satisfied with the harvest and had it sealed and stored.

"I went to buy potatoes today and didn't look around much. I'll go around again tomorrow! I'm sure I'll get something." Yongle said with lingering satisfaction while lying in Mu Yunxi's arms.

"Well! Let's go to the place where fruits are sold tomorrow!" Mu Yunxi's mind popped up the place where fruits were sold.

"Okay, go to sleep quickly. We rely on you for this journey, you need to get a good rest!" After Yongle said this, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the cabin. Mu Yunxi woke up first. Looking at Yongle who was still sleeping soundly, she gently tucked her hair behind her ears.

After Yongle woke up, the two of them packed up and prepared to disembark. Wu Jianghua was worried that they would not return for a long time like yesterday, so he sent a team of guards to protect them. Mu Yunxi did not refuse for his peace of mind.

The two of them, accompanied by their guards, arrived at the fruit market, where they saw a dazzling display of all sorts of strangely shaped fruits. Suddenly, they saw a stall crowded with people. Curious, they approached and saw a yellow fruit with a strange aroma. It was actually a modern mango, but the modern mango didn't have such a strong aroma.

The stall owner was a lean old man with a white beard. He was greeting them warmly. The reason for his hospitality was that Mu Yunxi and his companions were dressed differently from the locals, and he could tell at a glance that they were passing merchants. Although the old man had never seen Mu Yunxi and his companions being served this way, it did not affect his enthusiasm. Passing merchants always liked to buy some of their local specialties to try, so he seized this opportunity to introduce them, "This is a fruit unique to Mutila Island, called the yellow-skinned fruit. Eating it can beautify and nourish your skin."

After Mu Yunxi translated the old man's words to Yongle, Yongle's eyes lit up when he heard it. Mu Yunxi smiled and wanted to buy some.

At this time, a gorgeously dressed woman came over and said coldly, "I want all these fruits."

Everyone turned their gazes to the woman. She looked to be about eighteen or nineteen, with dazzling golden hair cascading to her waist, a few strands playfully scattered on either side of her snow-white face. Her eyes, deep and azure, like the depths of the ocean, shone with an innate pride. Beneath her high nose, her rosy lips were slightly pursed. She wore a floor-length white dress, intricately embroidered with gold thread. A jewel-encrusted belt cinched her waist, each gem gleaming with a captivating light, signaling her distinguished status.

Mu Yunxi frowned, stepped forward and said, "Miss, we came here first. It's not right for you to buy everything like this."

The woman glanced at Mu Yunxi with disdain. "This princess doesn't need you to tell her what to do. No one on Mutila Island dares to steal from me."

Mu Yunxi hadn't wanted to argue, but the jewelry on her hands and neck looked familiar. It resembled the items Boerhan had taken from them yesterday. Mu Yunxi's thoughts shifted, and she feigned a reluctance. "Even if you're a princess, you still have to be reasonable. Everything has a first-come, first-served basis." The crowd around her held their breath, eager to see how the argument would end.

The woman snorted coldly: "Why? No one dares to compete for what this princess likes." As she said this, she was about to order the guards behind her to take action.

Mu Yunxi's eyes turned cold, and the guards tightened their grip on their weapons. The atmosphere instantly became tense, and the people around them retreated.

Seeing that Mu Yunxi and the others were still trying to resist, the woman immediately flew into a rage. Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, a woman approached the woman claiming to be the princess and whispered, "They seem to be the guests the prince invited to his home yesterday!"

When the woman heard this, she immediately stopped talking and turned to look at Mu Yunxi and the others with surprise, "So you have those exquisite ornaments?" As she spoke, she took out a purse from her waist. Mu Yunxi looked at the purse that was given as a gift yesterday and nodded.
