Heartstrings Resonance: The Beloved Princess of the Female Power

Mu Yunxi was very pleased after finally teaching all the soldiers how to use the mechanism. The next morning, she took Ruochan and rode away from the southwest dock.

At this time, the Southwest Wharf had been officially named the military stronghold of Zhao State by Emperor Qing Zhao. High walls were built around it, and a large number of heavy troops were sent to guard it.

At noon, Mu Yunxi and Ruo Chan had just entered the gates of Kyoto when they heard passersby talking about it. "Did you know that the lady who was specially appointed by the Emperor can actually make weapons?" a passerby asked curiously.

Another person took over the conversation: "I heard that it was that kind of weapon that was used to defeat Youdu last month."

A man who looked like a scholar said, "That's right! When I first heard that a woman had become an official, I didn't accept it. But when I heard that the weapons she made were unmatched and she took down two cities in Youdu in just half a month, I had to admit defeat."

At this time, a passing old man joined their discussion: "Not only that! This morning when I went to the government office to sell tofu, I heard from the yamen runners that they had already captured three cities in Youdu."

Everyone was excited when they heard this, and they all echoed, "Great! Kill that guy!" One of the tall and thin men said angrily, "This Youdu is really fucking disgusting. I got bit by the bugs they released a while ago. I used to weigh 180 kilograms, but because of that disgusting thing, I'm now less than 120 kilograms."

The bearded man at the side couldn't help but agree, "That's right! Our whole family was poisoned. Fortunately, the emperor asked us to take precautions early on and even sent someone to teach us about the herbs that can cure the poison. I even dug up quite a few. That day, I found that my mother was not feeling well, so I thought of this and quickly made a bowl of it for her to drink. Not long after she drank it, she vomited all over the floor with bugs. I remembered that an official had mentioned this before, so I immediately reported it to the authorities. The officials asked our whole family to take the antidote, fearing that we had all been poisoned. I made another pot, and it turned out to be true. This damn Youdu thief, luckily this thing can't kill people instantly, otherwise our whole family would be gone."

A nearby vendor looked around, making sure nothing was amiss. Then he lowered his voice and whispered to the others, "I don't think anyone's controlling this thing. I've heard people say before that this kind of thing requires human control to work, and that it can wipe out a whole area with just one move."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces suddenly showed expressions of horror, and they asked in unison: "How did you know?"

The vendor sighed helplessly and replied softly, "My cousin's nephew once worked as an official in Youzhou. He said something like this happened in their government office."

When everyone heard this, they were shocked and angry, and began to blame Youdu. Some of the more timid people said worriedly, "Then I'd better go back and drink more antidote, so as not to accidentally get poisoned to death."

The others also expressed their agreement, and then everyone dispersed.

Mu Yunxi turned around and looked at Ruochan, frowned, and asked, "Such a big thing, you haven't heard of it?"

Ruo Chan lowered her head and replied with some guilt, "Her Royal Highness the Princess forbade me to speak."

Mu Yunxi couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. She led her horse and headed towards the Princess's residence. On the way, they passed a crowded and bustling street. Mu Yunxi had originally planned to find another way, but when she looked up and saw the plaque above her head, she stopped. On it were the two large characters "Nichang".

Seeing the chaotic scene, some people were on the verge of a fight. A younger maid, dressed simply, stood with her hands on her hips, raised her head and shouted, "I got here first! How dare you cut in line?" However, a woman responded unreasonably, "Who saw it? Show me the evidence if you can."

This made the little maid very angry. She straightened her body and proudly stated her identity: "I am the head maid of the second daughter of the eldest branch of the Wen family in the Wenshi Mansion. Which family are you from? Do you dare to tell me your name?" When the maid heard this, her heart suddenly tightened. She remembered that her master's official position was only the third rank. She felt guilty and stopped talking. She just snorted coldly and walked silently to the back of the team.

Mu Yunxi looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't help but find it funny. She turned to Ruo Chan and said, "This is probably the truth that when one person achieves enlightenment, everyone around him will benefit."

Ruo Chan followed Mu Yunxi's gaze and looked at the old woman. He said coldly, "There are many people who rely on others for power, but I didn't expect to hit a wall this time."

Mu Yunxi thought of the serious look of the Bachelor of Literature, and then looked at the little maid, who also had the same look. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she said meaningfully, "The maid of the Bachelor of Literature is also very cute when she gets angry!"

Ruo Chan didn't understand the deeper meaning of Mu Yunxi's words. He saw that the little maid was indeed quite cute, but he couldn't help but remind her, "If Your Excellency praises others like this, His Highness will probably be unhappy if he knows."

Mu Yunxi was stunned at first, then she laughed and said jokingly, "I originally thought you were a blockhead who didn't understand romance, but I didn't expect you to be such a smart blockhead!"

Ruo Chan replied with a serious face, "The main thing is that you yourself are not hiding anything! Look at His Highness's eyes, they haven't restrained themselves at all."

Mu Yunxi paused for a moment and asked seriously, "Do you think I'm worthy of Ayin?"

Ruo Chan replied with equal seriousness, "In terms of background, you are indeed somewhat inferior to His Highness, but in terms of talent and ability, you are still worthy of His Highness."

After hearing Ruochan's words, Mu Yunxi smiled knowingly and said to Ruochan sincerely, "Thank you, Ruochan."

Mu Yunxi's sudden thanks left Ruo Chan a bit stunned. She looked at Mu Yunxi in confusion. Mu Yunxi explained, "Because you don't think it's wrong for me, as a woman, to like A Yin."

Ruo Chan understood Mu Yunxi's meaning and said with a smile, "Don't worry, my lord. You are no less talented than men. If you must have an heir, Your Highness can also adopt a child from the royal family."

Mu Yunxi smiled but said nothing. Seeing that there were fewer people at the entrance of Nishang, she took Ruochan to the shop.

Ruo Chan was holding the horse outside the store, while Mu Yunxi walked towards the main door. People in the queue saw her heading straight for the main door and tried to stop her. One of the maids shouted unhappily, "Alas! Go to the back of the queue!"

"That's right, you can't not queue up just because you're pretty!" another person dressed like a woman echoed.

Mother Wu came out to help and saw Mu Yunxi being pointed at and criticized. She hurried to the door and shouted, "Everyone, this is my eldest daughter."

When everyone heard this, they instantly fell silent, staring at Mu Yunxi in amazement. Mother Wu took the opportunity to pull Mu Yunxi into the store.

As soon as they disappeared, the maids outside began to whisper to each other: "Is that the legendary lady?"

"That should be it. Doesn't the mother beside Madam Mu call her the eldest lady? Isn't that lady the eldest daughter of Minister Mu?" said a woman who was dressed more gorgeously than the other maids.

"I have to say, Miss Mu is also very beautiful!" a maid praised.

"She's an adult now! But as an official, I can't call her Miss, right?" a maid said crisply.

The maidservant next to her, who was about her age, looked puzzled: "Then what should I call her? Her father is also Lord Mu, and she is also Lord Mu?"

"Oh, you are silly! Her father is Minister Mu, and she is Yuanwailang Mu. You can just call her that!" said the maid who was somewhat familiar with her.

Mu Yunxi asked in confusion: "What on earth is going on?"

Mother Wu smiled and replied, "Miss, you are a celebrity in the capital now!"

Mu Yunxi looked at Mother Wu blankly, even more confused: "Did something happen?"

"Madam will tell you." Mother Wu said, leading her to an attic upstairs.

At this moment, Xiao Yao was sitting at the desk, carefully looking through the account book. Mother Wu walked over to her with a smile and said softly, "Madam, look who's here."

Xiao Yao looked up in confusion, and when she saw Mu Yunxi, she smiled happily. She quickly stood up and walked quickly to Mu Yunxi.

Mu Yunxi opened her arms with joy, ready to give her mother a big hug. However, Xiao Yao didn't give her the chance. Instead, she grabbed her hand, led her to the table, made her sit down, and said ruthlessly, "Princess, I don't have time to accompany you these days. You should finish reading these account books first."

Mu Yunxi's eyes widened as she stared at the thick stack of account books in disbelief. She couldn't help but ask, "How long have these account books been accumulating?"

Xiao Yao said angrily, "This month's bill, isn't it the end of the month? We have to settle the bill!"

Mu Yunxi looked at the account book in front of her and said with satisfaction: "Business is good!"

Xiao Yao also said, "It's really good! At first everyone came for the princess, but later they were attracted by the styles of your clothes. As time went by, it got better and better."

"Okay!" She then asked Mother Wu to arrange for Ruochan while she began to help Xiao Yao with the account book. Even this modern soul was overwhelmed by the book, and it took her two hours to finish. After helping Xiao Yao with the account, she asked someone to bring a blank account book, then took out a charcoal pencil from her bag, wrote and scribbled on it for a while, and then showed it to Xiao Yao: "This is how you'll keep your accounts from now on."

Xiao Yao looked at the form in front of her, and became more and more excited. She said excitedly: "My daughter! You have such a good idea, why didn't you come up with it earlier!"

Mu Yunxi simply ignored her question and asked, "Is Ayin busy?"

Xiao Yao knew she would ask this, and after thinking about it, she decided to tell her: "The princess is in the palace tending to the sick. The queen has been poisoned by a poison and has been ill for a long time."
