The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

"Come on! I'll take you somewhere!" Bai Yi said loudly. Just by listening to his voice, you could feel his mood at this moment. From today onwards, An Mi was already his fiancée. Naturally, he was in an extremely good mood. He even wanted to announce this good news to the whole world and wished he could marry An Mi today and make her his rightful wife.

Anmi suddenly frowned, "Where to?"

The First Prince's residence? An Mi subconsciously thought of Qing Lan's joyous occasion today. Given her friendship with Qing Lan, she should have gone to offer her congratulations. However, she couldn't fathom Qing Lan's thoughts. Thinking of Qing Lan's selfless protection earlier, An Mi's brows furrowed even more, unable to relax.

She didn't know if his congratulations would cause trouble again. She hadn't forgotten that Sima Yan regarded her as a rival. She knew very well the disaster that a woman's jealousy could bring!

Suddenly, a large hand covered her face, and then the gentle touch of the fingertips soothed her eyebrows, gradually smoothing them out.

An Mi met Bai Yi's eyes and heard his gentle voice, "Not going to the First Prince's residence!"

An Mi was slightly taken aback. After realizing what was happening, a smile bloomed on her face. Without saying anything, she took Bai Yi's other hand and got into the carriage. Once An Mi was settled in the carriage, she heard a sharp, hoarse voice, the kind of voice unique to palace eunuchs, coming from outside the carriage...

"Your Highness, King of Bohai... Your Highness, King of Bohai, please wait..."

The voice grew closer, sounding quite urgent. An Mi and Bai Yi both frowned. An Mi lifted the curtain, exchanged a glance with Bai Yi, and then both looked at the eunuchs running towards them...

As they approached, the head eunuch bowed and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the Emperor... the Emperor has summoned you from the Imperial Study."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yi's eyes narrowed, and the eunuchs became even more apprehensive.

"Summon?" Bai Yi spoke calmly, as if he were pondering the two words, his expression unreadable.

"Do you know why His Majesty summoned me?" Bai Yi's gaze swept over the eunuch.

The eunuch flinched. "Reporting to the Prince of Bohai, this servant...this servant does not know, but His Majesty's mood seems...to be good."

"In a good mood?" Bai Yi frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"Bai Yi, let's go!" An Mi said from the side. Emperor Mingde had agreed to the marriage against his will today, so he must be very resentful. It's likely that things will not be quiet for some time to come.

Bai Yi and An Mi exchanged a glance, and just as An Mi had thought, they realized that they would have to postpone their trip to the destination today.

"Liuguang, Yifei, you two go back to the manor with Miss!" Bai Yi ordered loudly, giving An Mi a look. The two smiled at each other, needing no further explanation, yet it seemed as if they had already said a thousand words.

Liu Guang and Yi Fei accepted the order. Only after the carriage carrying An Mi gradually drove away from the palace did Bai Yi withdraw his gaze and turn to walk into the palace...

Anmi sat in the carriage, her smile undisguised, and even Liuguang and Yifei could sense Anmi's feelings at that moment.

"Today, the entire capital should know that our Prince spent millions of gold coins for Miss Anmi. Only Miss Anmi could be so generous." Liu Guang finally couldn't help but tease her. She was also happy that Miss Anmi and the Prince's marriage was successful. You know, their Prince had put in a lot of effort for Miss Anmi. If he still couldn't win Miss Anmi's favor, it would really damage the Prince's reputation.

Yifei persisted, teasingly saying, "Isn't that right? Today, Miss has really stolen the show. In the future, all the women in the world will probably envy Miss."

An Mi smiled slightly, letting the two banter, but her mind was on Sima Yan. She felt that since this woman had suffered a loss because of her today, she would probably not miss any opportunity to make things difficult for her in the future. Thinking of this, An Mi couldn't help but sigh. Whether in her past life or this life, even if you live a low-key life, there will always be someone pushing you in an adversarial direction. It seems that she cannot be careless when facing Sima Yan in the future.

As Anmi thought this, she frowned slightly. Suddenly, accompanied by the neighing of a horse, the carriage stopped.

Yifei and Liuguang, who had been joking around, immediately became alert. They exchanged a glance, one protecting Anmi while the other lifted the curtain to check the situation outside. "What's going on?"

“Miss Yifei, this person…this person blocked the way. Luckily, we stopped quickly, otherwise, we would have stepped on her. I don’t know where this woman came from. Does she have a death wish?” The coachman’s tone was reproachful as he looked at the woman standing in the middle of the road. He was still scared when he thought about what had just happened. It was not a big deal if the woman was hurt, but if the girl Anmi in the carriage had been hurt, the prince would probably have skinned him alive.

Yifei's gaze fell on the woman in the middle of the road. She frowned and said kindly, "Miss, if you're not hurt, please move aside!"

Yifei tested the woman's expression, but the woman showed no sign of being frightened. She must have done it on purpose!

Yi Zhuxuan stepped forward and walked to the carriage, saying softly, "Miss, may I see An Mi?"

As expected! Did they come for the young lady?

Yifei frowned, her gaze towards Yi Zhuxuan becoming even more wary. She looked her up and down. She recognized the woman; she had once served by General Feng's side. But today, she was dressed in rags... What was the reason for this?

"I'm sorry, my young lady is not available to see you." Yifei said calmly. Feng Yu was no good, and the people around him were naturally on the top list of people to be wary of.

Yi Zhuxuan forced a smile and pleaded, "Miss, please inform her? She and I are from the same hometown. If you tell her, she will see me."

As Yi Zhuxuan spoke, she even knelt down, and with her tattered clothes, she looked even more disheveled. "Miss, I only saw her once. If I hadn't been desperate, I wouldn't have..."

At this point, Yi Zhuxuan began to sob softly. Yi Fei was trained by Bai Yi, and her mission was to protect the young lady. Anyone who might pose a threat to the young lady had to be kept out. No matter how much Yi Zhuxuan cried here, once she made up her mind not to let her get close to the young lady, she would never waver.

Yi Zhuxuan sobbed for a long time, but Yi Fei remained unmoved. Yi Zhuxuan couldn't help but curse inwardly, "This damn stumbling block!" But thinking of today's plan, she still couldn't give up.

“Miss, we were like sisters back then, but I didn’t know how to cherish it and was ungrateful. I know I was wrong, Miss. I only wish to see you one last time. There are some things I want to say to you.” Yi Zhuxuan continued crying, and gradually, people began to gather around.
