At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

Chapter 109 The Queen Mother Comes to Watch the Play

After hearing this, Yu Yunxin felt that these words were really funny, so she couldn't help laughing out loud. Her laughter was as gorgeous and beautiful as the flowers blooming in spring, which made people intoxicated.

"Yu Yunxuan, how could you be so stupid? Don't you know that your great uncle and your grandfather's generation parted ways? Why are you so eager to recognize your relatives?" After Yu Yunxin said this, she didn't want to talk to this idiot who liked to compare with others, so she immediately went back to Yayunyuan.

Seeing Yu Yunxin walking like the wind, Yu Yunxuan couldn't catch up with her, and she stamped her feet in anger: "Yu Yunxin, just wait for me! Don't you want to be the Crown Princess? But don't you know that my cousin, the Imperial Concubine, won't let you marry the Crown Prince. The position of Crown Princess can only belong to me!"

In Yayun Garden, Yu Yunxin gathered Yunshan, Yanluo, Chunyu and Qiu Shuang together, and gave each of the six of them a red envelope.

"Thank you, Princess!" The six people accepted the red envelopes with joy.

"Another year has passed..." Yu Yunxin sighed softly.

“Yeah.” Yunshan agreed.

"Yunshan, how old are you now?" Yu Yunxin suddenly asked.

Yunshan and the other four were startled and quickly expressed their opinions: "Princess, we are willing to follow you forever and have no intention of leaving."

"Don't think too much. I'm just asking casually. I'm concerned about your future plans." Yu Yunxin chuckled, indicating that she didn't care.

The four of us were raised by the old manor owner with great difficulty. Yanyu Manor is as important to us as a warm home. We have no regrets in being able to follow the princess, and we are willing to serve the princess with all our heart and do our best. "Yunshan said firmly.

"My lady, people from Yueling Pavilion in the capital have been in frequent contact with the Second Prince's Consort Bai in recent days. In addition, Shangguan Hongling once appeared in Prince Rui's Mansion." Yanluo reported respectfully.

"When exactly did this happen?" Yu Yunxin asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"The princess passed this news to us today. I have sent people to investigate and learned that Shangguan Hongling is indeed in Prince Rui's Mansion at this moment." Yanluo continued to report.

"Be sure to send someone to monitor closely in secret and do not let them notice any disturbance." Yu Yunxin gave the order.

"It's getting late, you should go down and rest early!" Yu Yunxin was concerned about the six people and took out some medicine and handed it to them, "These medicines are for keeping out the cold, so prepare more."

Yu Yunxin then handed a large bag to Hai Wang and said, "Don't forget the sisters from Yanyu Manor who are out there. Here are some internal strength-enhancing pills for them to share equally."

After Hai Wang took the medicine from the bag, he immediately jumped up and left Yayun Garden.

In the dead of night, the Lord of Hell jumped into the house from the window. His figure was like a ghost, silent and unnoticed. He was holding two heavy bags in his hands, which were obviously gifts specially brought for the five little ones.

Yu Yunxin curiously opened one of the fruit bundles, and her eyes widened at the dazzling array of fruits inside. A big round watermelon, with durian and bananas placed next to it, these were all tropical fruits!

She looked up in surprise, looked at the Lord of the Underworld, and asked in confusion: "How do you get these fruits? They are not easy to get." The Lord of the Underworld smiled slightly, and a mysterious light flashed in his eyes.

He whispered, "I found this specially. I know you like to eat it, so I took some time to find these Xianluo fruits." Yu Yunxin felt touched.

"Thank you!" She blurted out without knowing what to say.

"I am here today to spend the New Year with you." The Lord of the Underworld looked at Yu Yunxin and answered calmly.

Yu Yunxin also generously took out the Purple Dragon Crystal Nectar and Tianshan Snow Lotus and handed them to the Dark Lord, saying, "These are medicinal herbs that can enhance internal strength."

The eyes under the Hades' mask looked at the herbs that Yu Yunxin took out and were very surprised: "I didn't expect that the princess also had many secrets."

"Do you want it? If not, I'll put it away." Yu Yunxin pouted and asked coquettishly.

“Of course I will accept the princess’ kindness.” The Lord of the Underworld said as he put all the herbs sent by Yu Yunxin into his sleeves.

The two sat opposite each other around the fireplace, drinking snow lotus tea together and looking at the night view outside the window.

Yu Yunxin looked at the handsome face under the Hades' mask, blinked her big eyes, and asked curiously: "Why are you still wearing a mask during the New Year? Aren't you tired?"

"It seems that Princess, you still want to see my true face?" The Lord of the Underworld raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked with a smile.

"It's okay if you don't pick it. I think you look even more handsome with the mask on. I think you can eat a few more bites of durian, so you'd better not pick it." Yu Yunxin said contentedly while eating the durian she had just opened.

The Lord of the Underworld looked at the playful and lovely woman in front of him and felt that it was pleasing to the eye. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. Overnight, the relationship between the two of them heated up a lot.

The next day, Yu Yunxin was awakened by the sound of firecrackers in the mansion. How did she fall asleep last night? Could it be that the man had some hypnotic tricks? How could she fall asleep just by watching him?

The durian shells in the house had disappeared, leaving only a basket of neatly arranged fruits. There was also incense burning, and the smell of the incense had long since covered up the durian smell from last night.

Just after drinking a cup of tea to get rid of the durian taste in my mouth, Yunshan and Qionglou pulled me into the yard to practice early and worship the Queen Mother of the West.

Her eyelids were still drooping, so she had no choice but to lead everyone to light incense and sit cross-legged in the yard to begin the New Year's morning exercises and worship.

After the worship was over, Yu Yunxin stood up and looked at the sky. She didn't know what was going on, but a ray of sunlight appeared in the sky just after the worship was over, and then half of the sun was covered by white clouds.

"It seems that there will be unrest in the north this year!" Qionglou made a divination and said with a serious expression.

Yu Yunxin was shocked when she heard this, and quickly turned around to ask Xiang Qionglou: "What's wrong?"

Qiong Lou made seals with his hands quickly, muttering to himself: "Just now there was a strange phenomenon in the sky, which means the north is unstable. I have deduced the hexagram plate, Kan Palace and Dui Palace... I am afraid there will be floods in the north and wars in the west this year."

"Qionglou, is your divination accurate?" Yunshan asked curiously.

"Of course it's accurate. I'm following the princess now, especially the spiritual energy on the purple jade that the princess gave us, which makes my deduction more accurate." Qionglou said and showed off the purple jade ring in front of everyone.

"Okay, we all have the Qionglou. I feel like this jade has helped me improve my internal strength a lot." Yanluo said.

"Of course, this is the precious jade we found in southern Yunnan last year. You should keep it well." Yu Yunxin said, "Whether there is a flood or a war this year, we must take measures."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Not long after, a servant came over with a brisk pace, holding an exquisite wedding invitation in his hand. Yu Yunxin took the invitation with a smile, and looked at it carefully. A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "It turns out that my fourth cousin is getting married on the 16th day of the first lunar month!"

Her eyes sparkled with joy, as if she could see a happy future through this wedding invitation. Yu Yunxin gently stroked the exquisite pattern on the wedding invitation, her heart full of blessings and expectations for her fourth cousin.

At this time, she turned to the maid Chunyu beside her and said, "Chunyu, go pick out some gifts suitable for the wedding." Her tone revealed her importance and care for this wedding. Chunyu followed the order and left, knowing that the young lady had a deep brotherly love for her fourth cousin, and would definitely prepare a unique and precious gift carefully.

Yu Yunxin was extremely happy holding the wedding invitation in her hand. She knew that this wedding would be a grand and joyful celebration, and she believed that her fourth cousin and his bride would live a happy life. She secretly made up her mind to personally send her most sincere blessings on the wedding day to add more beautiful memories to their love.

Ye Qinghe was very annoyed when she looked at Ye Qingqing's wedding invitation in the backyard. She was now disliked by the Queen and the Crown Prince, and had no hope of marrying into the Crown Prince's Mansion. But why should Ye Qingqing's sister marry better than her? She heard that the Lin family had stabilized the Southern Dian Kingdom and would be returning to the court soon. If she married Lin Dengyu, she could still enter the palace as a young lady and still see her cousin the Crown Prince.

Moreover, all the male members of the Lin family will be promoted to higher positions. It can be said that they are in great glory, and the betrothal gifts sent by the Lin family are also very large. It is better than marrying a poor scholar.

When she thought of this, a great plan suddenly emerged in her mind. This plan was so ingenious that she couldn't help but get excited. Soon, she made a decision and didn't even touch the food brought by the servants.

When Mrs. Ye learned about Ye Qinghe's hunger strike, she was very anxious and distressed. She rushed to Ye Qinghe's room and saw her daughter lying on the bed, her heart was filled with endless pain.

"Child, please eat a little!" Mrs. Ye called softly, her eyes full of worry and concern. She walked to the bedside and gently stroked Ye Qinghe's forehead, trying to comfort her.

Ye Qinghe lay quietly on the bed, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes, as if she didn't hear her mother's words. Her face was as pale as paper, and Mrs. Ye felt heartbroken when she saw this.

"Qinghe, tell mom what happened? Why do you torture yourself like this? If you have any problems, we can solve them together." Mrs. Ye sat beside the bed, holding Ye Qinghe's hand, and asked gently.

Ye Qinghe's lips trembled slightly, wanting to say something, but she finally remained silent. Tears slid down her cheeks and soaked the pillow.

"The Queen has finally come to see me. I am older than Qingqing and I can't bear to see my sister get married before me."

"Qinghe, why don't I go and talk to Mr. Qian and let you marry into the Qian family first." Mrs. Ye comforted.

"Mom, I want to get married on the same day as my sister. I want to watch the lively wedding at the General's Mansion from afar, and also congratulate my sister on marrying into the General's Mansion." Ye Qinghe said with tears in her eyes.

"It's a happy event for our Ye family that our two daughters are getting married on the same day. Don't worry, I will tell your father." Mrs. Ye comforted Ye Qinghe.

Ye Qinghe nodded when she heard this. Madam Ye saw that Ye Qinghe looked much better and said, "Don't worry, child. I will prepare more dowry for you and will not let you suffer in the Qian family."

"Mother, you should prepare more for my sister. After all, she is marrying into the general's mansion." Ye Qinghe said in a very gentle tone.

Upon hearing this, Madam Ye smiled kindly and said, "My Qinghe has finally grown up. Don't worry! Mother will make all the arrangements."

Ye Qinghe didn't say anything after hearing that. After Madam Ye left, she began to eat the delicious food. She got hungrier day by day. It seemed that her plan was getting closer and closer.

The ice and snow began to melt, and the disaster victims in the suburban farms also returned to their ancestral home. When they returned, Yu Yunxin sent them seeds of various crops, such as soybeans, corn, sunflowers, peanuts, etc. When they were in the farm, Yu Yunxin asked several old farmers to learn how to plant these crops.

She also selected several village women who knew how to raise livestock, and asked them to go back and raise ducks, rabbits, cattle and sheep on wasteland. She would send someone to deliver the cubs after she chose a place.

When the victims heard the princess's arrangements, they were very satisfied. They came here in rags, and they never expected that they would have to carry large and small bags when they leave.

All this was also thanks to Nangong Jue's thank-you gift. She asked the victims to be more grateful to Nangong Jue, the young prince.

After saying goodbye to the disaster victims, Yu Yunxin went directly to Mingyang Tower. When she arrived near Mingyang Tower, she felt as if she was being stared at by many pairs of eyes. There was no special carriage at the door.

"Princess, these people seem to be masters of the palace." Yanluo said.

"Well, there might be some important person in our Mingyang Building." Yu Yunxin entered the second floor of Mingyang Building from the back door as before.

As soon as she entered Mingyang Tower, Mu Xue came over excitedly and said, "Princess, a great man has come to Mingyang Tower today!"

"Manager Mu, can you guess who it is?" Yu Yunxin asked as she looked at Mu Xue in front of her.

Mu Xue thought for a moment and said, "Master Yu is here too. There is also a young man who should be the young prince. The older one hasn't spoken, so could it be Prince Yi and the Queen Mother?"

"Mu Xue, your analysis is good! What play are we singing today?" Yu Yunxin asked again after taking a look at the stage.

"The true and false Monkey King." Mu Xue replied.

"That's right, Manager Mu. Please go to the VIP room on the third floor and deliver some fruits later." After saying this, Yu Yunxin went straight to the third floor.

As soon as I walked into the corridor, I saw Nangong Jue walking out of the private room.

"Princess Xingguo!"

When Nangong Jue saw Yu Yunxin, he was very excited and lowered his voice and came to Yu Yunxin's side.

"Young Prince." Yu Yunxin replied politely.

"Let's go! My royal grandmother is also watching the play today. It's really good." Nangong Jue said as he gently pushed open the door and invited Yu Yunxin in.

I saw an old lady in gorgeous clothes sitting in the main seat, watching the wonderful performance on the stage attentively. On her right was a majestic middle-aged man, whose eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to those of the old lady. This man was Prince Yi.

Soon, the first scene ended. At this time, Mu Xue carefully walked into the room with a bowl of cut and beautifully arranged fruits, and gently placed it in front of the lady.

"Queen Mother, these fruits were specially sent by Princess Xingguo from Nanling County. Please enjoy them slowly." Mu Xue said after kneeling down and kowtowed respectfully.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately turned around and cast her eyes towards where Yu Yunxin was. She smiled kindly and called softly, "Child, come here quickly!"

Yu Yunxin heard the Queen Mother's call and slowly walked forward, her eyes revealing a hint of nervousness and awe. She stood quietly in front of the Queen Mother, waiting for the next instruction.

The Queen Mother smiled and motioned to Yu Yunxin to sit in front of her. Yu Yunxin sat down as ordered, feeling a little uneasy, but still trying to remain calm.
