At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

"Okay! Madam Liu, please take me to visit the mansion! By the way, can I use those two embroiderers?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"We are all the princess's people now and we will listen to her arrangements." The two embroiderers replied.

"Okay, Yanluo, take them to Linglong Pavilion. Siniang happens to be short of embroiderers. Don't worry, I will pay you for your work." Yu Yunxin said to the two embroiderers.

"Princess, we don't want any wages. We will all follow your arrangements." The two embroiderers said and followed Yanluo out of the mansion.

"My lord, this was originally the residence of Princess Yuqiong. She disappeared after she went to marry a foreign prince five years ago, and it has been empty for more than five years." Nanny Liu introduced the original owner of the mansion.

Yu Yunxin looked around the mansion. It wasn't very big, with three courtyards. However, the scenery inside was very unique, especially the back garden, with pavilions, towers, rockery and flowing water, which made people linger. It was also very suitable for the five little ones to stay. She felt at ease leaving them here, and she would bring them over at night.

"Yunshan, take a few people to clean up the backyard. This princess is going to live here. Also, please send all the rewards from Yayunyuan here in the next few days!" She said after touring the mansion.

"Princess, it's getting late. I'll ask the cook to prepare some dinner for you." Nanny Liu said after looking at the sky.

"Okay! I usually like a combination of meat and vegetables, and eat mainly coarse grains and light food at night. Cook five rabbits for me without adding salt." Yu Yunxin didn't have any requirements for dinner.

"Princess, can you eat five rabbits without salt?" asked Madam Liu.

"Madame Liu has raised five pets to feed them. Also, you should not go to the back garden at night. Just clean up the fallen leaves during the day. Also, two of the five pets are quite large, so you must not tell anyone when you leave the house." Yu Yunxin simply raised the five pets here. She believed that Madame Liu and the others would not say anything.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Nanny Liu replied immediately after hearing this.

After Madam Liu left, Qiong Lou asked, "Are these people reliable, Princess?"

"Don't worry. This princess has nothing to hide except the five exotic beasts. Besides, the little dogs are very gentle now. Every merchant with some money would keep a few pets to play with." Yu Yunxin replied.

"Well! That night the princess will go back to Yu Mansion and bring the five pets over." Qiong Lou asked.

"Let me go tonight! I haven't used my internal energy or martial arts for a long time. Don't worry, I can do it alone." Yu Yunxin patted the two of them and asked them to sit down and drink a cup of tea together.

Qiong Lou handed her a special umbrella. She opened it and saw that both the material and the silver needle hidden weapon in the umbrella were specially made. The most special thing was that the pattern on the umbrella was a pair of yin and yang fish. There were also beads on the edge of the umbrella, and each bead had a pattern on it, which was a formation diagram. I didn't expect that the person who made the umbrella could put a formation into this umbrella.

She picked up the umbrella and began to practice a few moves. It looked like dancing in front of outsiders, but in fact each move was a deadly combination of hardness and softness.

"Madame Liu, look at how well the princess dances. She dances even better than the female musicians in the palace." The palace maid holding a tray couldn't help but say when she saw it.

Madam Liu also took a look and said with great appreciation: "I think our master will have great fortune in the future. Cui'er, we must serve our new master well.

In the backyard of the Yu Mansion, Yu Yunxuan learned that Yun Xin was going to move into the former princess's mansion, and she started throwing things again.

"Boom! Boom!"

Yu Yunxuan smashed two cups in her hands before stopping.

"Why can she live in the former Princess Mansion and Yayun Garden?"

"Xuan'er, don't be angry. Although we didn't enter the palace today, Concubine Wang arranged for us to enter the palace in three days." Wang Yuanxiang comforted.

Yu Yunxuan immediately pushed Wang Yuanxiang away and said, "Why did the noble concubine who brought me into the palace today make us wait for another three days?"

"Isn't the imperial concubine busy these days? The second prince has taken in a concubine. By the way, I saw the invitation from Yu Yunxin. All the invitations were from noble ladies in the capital. You might as well go and see what she is doing at Xingxin Cloth Shop." Wang Yuanxiang said.

"I'm not going!" Yu Yunxuan said coquettishly, "Mom, let's get ready to go see Concubine Wang! Maybe we can even meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Do you like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Wang Yuanxiang asked.

Yu Yunxuan nodded.

"Okay, I'll take you to the palace in a few days to see if the imperial concubine can bring you together." Wang Yuanxiang said, "Yu Yunxin, wait. The Crown Princess belongs to our Xuan'er."

After Yunshan and Yanluo came back, Princess Xingguo's mansion began to get busy. Yu Yunxin was also very satisfied with the house cleaned up by Madam Liu and two palace maids.

In order to avoid revealing their identities, the people in Yanyu Manor had no choice but to serve as her maids. However, no one complained, and they were willing to listen to Madam Liu's arrangements.

Today's dinner was also the first time I tried the cooking skills of the cooks in the Princess's Mansion. It was pretty good. I will give them some recipes when I have time and let them cook more dishes.

She also wanted to open a restaurant in the capital, but now she had to prepare a jewelry store and a theater, and she didn't have any extra time, so she decided to take it one step at a time.

Three days later, hundreds of carriages were parked outside Xingxin Cloth Shop. These were her replies. Although she did not attend the banquet, it did not affect her reputation as a second-rank princess.

Xingxin Fabric Workshop was also rearranged, with all the fabrics on the first floor removed and turned into a semicircular display stand.

Flowers, fruits and snacks were prepared on the second floor as a resting area for noble ladies. The third floor was naturally a place for transactions. As long as the selected ready-made clothes had the same shape as the models, one could pay directly.

"Xin'er, you are so amazing. Today many people come to see you, the newly conferred princess. The eldest princess is also here today." Leng Shuang said.

"The princess is not trying to embarrass you because of the prince's matter, is she?" Chunyu asked the eldest princess worriedly.

"Don't worry." Pang Jinhua walked over and said, "The princess should be interested in this winter clothing. After all, her head girl from the Jiaofang Department also needs to find all kinds of new clothing like the noble ladies to attract all kinds of distinguished guests in the capital."

"Let's go and make arrangements quickly. The performance will start soon." Pang Jinhua urged.

"Qiushuang, go and arrange a position for the princess where she can see the most clearly." Yu Yunxin glanced in the direction of the princess.

All of her models are tall and were selected by her on the street, so that they can better show the characteristics of the clothes.

She also promised to pay the passersby 500 coins as a reward, and the selected passersby readily agreed. She also asked these passersby to cover their faces when they went on stage so that it would not cause any impact on them.

"What do you think Princess Xingguo is doing? I came here to see a fashion show." a young lady asked.

"Yes! I sent a visiting card, but the princess didn't respond. So she gave me an invitation to Xingxin Textile Workshop." Another one replied.

"Look, why is the Princess here too? Didn't Prince Gu offend the Princess a few days ago and fine Marquis Anyuan one million taels of silver?"

"Don't say it! It's all Prince Gu's fault. He has done so many evil things over the years. I think ten years is too little."

The eldest princess heard these words, but she didn't take them seriously and continued to sit there calmly.

Qiu Shuang bowed and walked over and said, "Your Highness, the Princess, the Princess asked me to find you the most comfortable position. Please follow me."

"Oh, are you the princess's maid?" The eldest princess looked at Qiu Shuang and asked.

"My name is Qiu Shuang." Qiu Shuang pointed to a spot on the semicircular stage and said, "From that spot, once our models appear, you'll be able to see all of our costumes for today."

The princess took a look at the place the maid said and found it was correct, so she moved and sat in the seat arranged for her by Qiu Shuang.

Seeing that almost everyone in the store had arrived, Yu Yunxin immediately asked a talkative young waiter to go on stage first.

This young man wore a hairpin with flowers on his head and dressed in neutral-style clothes, looking gentle and refined. This style is the favorite of many young ladies from scholarly families. His appearance was enough to quiet down all the female guests.

"Dear ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the clothing show of Xingxin Fabric Shop today. You are the first batch of distinguished guests of Xingxin Fabric Shop. Everyone who comes here today is a distinguished guest..." the waiter said after the polite words.

Then the fashion show began, with music and lights. The first one appeared in a red coat and cloak made of soft white mink fur. She looked rosy-white. She had a red veil covering her face and a red pompom on her head. She also had a pair of red and white pompoms on her ears, which made her look even more charming. She walked on the stage like an elf, and the ladies in the audience were envious.

"These earrings and headpieces are really pretty with pompoms."

The second piece is a brocade fur-lined cloak with a golden fox fur collar, and underneath it is a floor-length skirt made of light beige rabbit fur and cotton velvet blended fabric. Half of the model's face is hidden under the shawl. The model wearing this long skirt has very fair skin, which further highlights the gorgeous and simple appearance of the clothes.

"The material must be very soft. Look at the beautiful dress she is wearing." said a noble lady in the audience.

"Shh! There should be more interesting things to come. It's a good thing I came this time."

Next was a light blue down dress. It took more than a dozen embroiderers three days to grind white shells into pear blossoms and embroider them on the dress. Under the light, the dress looked even more gorgeous.

"Oh my God! I saw what the Empress wore last year, but she was wearing a jacket with gold peony lace. I didn't expect to see this light blue down jacket, it's called something, this year?" a woman in the crowd exclaimed.

"Look at the different styles in the back. What are they wearing around their necks? They can't be the woolen scarves and neckbands knitted on the second floor of Xingxin Fabric Workshop these days."

The clothes at the back are even more exquisite, and even the jewelry worn by the models stands out with fine workmanship.

"Look at her earrings, they are in the shape of a small fan and are matched with pink orchids. They match perfectly with this pink down robe!" said a noble lady.

"Today has broadened my horizons. My trip here has not been in vain."

The highlight of the fashion exhibition was the ten sets of down robes she carefully prepared. Not only were they beautiful and warm, they were also better than any other winter coats.

An hour later, hundreds of different styles of clothing were displayed. Yu Yunxin, Leng Shuang and the other two cousins ​​escorted people to the lounge on the second floor. Everyone was very excited and asked how much these clothes cost.

Someone else asked about the various jewelry the model was wearing.

"Ladies and gentlemen, a jewelry store will open across the street in two days. All the styles you like will be available there and you can choose as you like." Pang Jinhua introduced.

Yu Yunxin met the eldest princess alone in the lounge. The eldest princess looked at Yu Yunxin, who was wearing a purple-pink purple gauze emerald pattern skirt and a white mink brocade cape. Her fair skin made the eldest princess stunned for a while and said, "You are the Princess of Xingguo. I heard the Lord mentioned you."

"I pay my respects to the eldest princess! The eldest princess is so graceful, and I hope she will give me more advice in the future." Yu Yunxin replied.

"You are a good talker, girl, but I am just the eldest princess in name only. I am not as smart as you, the princess. You have made an indispensable contribution to the fact that the people in the south have been well-fed and well-clothed in the past two years since I became a great man." said the eldest princess.

"Princess, are you here today to praise me?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"Princess Xingguo, I came to see you today. I just watched your fashion show and it really impressed me. I want the girls from the Jiaofang Division to re-do some new dances." The princess blew the tea in her hand and looked at Yu Yunxin and said, "Princess, you have so many ideas. Can we work together?"

"How does the princess want to cooperate?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"I've seen several girls on the stage selected by the princess. Their figures are much worse than those of my Jiaofangsi. But the princess can use various costumes to modify their figures and highlight the beauty of these girls. I would like the princess to give some pointers to the girls in my Jiaofangsi." said the eldest princess.

"But the princess should know that I am an unmarried girl and cannot enter places like the Jiaofangsi at will. I'm afraid..." Yu Yunxin was interrupted by the princess before she could finish her words.

"I, the princess, will certainly not let your reputation be damaged. I will bring the girls to your house for instruction. Don't worry, I will not let the princess teach in vain." said the eldest princess.

Yu Yunxin was thinking that in the future the theater would need some professional dancers to support the performance. She knew many modern and ancient songs and dances, and it would be best if she could cooperate with the Jiaofangsi. After all, many of the girls in the Jiaofangsi only sold their art and not their bodies.

"Okay, Princess, I can cooperate with you." Yu Yunxin said as she offered a cup of tea to the princess and the two of them clinked glasses of tea instead of wine.

The princess was very happy after hearing this, and went to the third floor with everyone else. At this time, the third floor was very lively, and many ladies wanted to buy the clothes on display, especially the down robes.

There were also several men's down robes on the third floor, and there were several styles of men's clothing. The ladies bought them whenever they saw them, and some bought more than ten. Some had to have their clothes tailored to their body shapes.

The princess also selected five different styles of down robes and several matching scarves, and bought a men's mink robe for the marquis.

Leng Shuang smiled as she watched the noble ladies going out carrying large and small bags.

"Sister-in-law, what's so funny about you?" Lin Wan asked Leng Shuang, who couldn't close her mouth.

"Look, Xin'er has increased our store's business several times over today with just one move. How can I not be happy?" Leng Shuang looked at her with curved eyebrows.

"Sister-in-law, there's more! I'm afraid you'll be busy these days." Li Wan said lightly.

"Just be busy! I don't have to serve my husband anymore. I'm full of energy now." Leng Shuang replied.

Lin Wan covered her mouth and smiled: "Yes! If someone comes tomorrow, we can sell all our wool and stuffed toys."

It didn't take long for all the clothes on the third floor to be sold out. Those noble ladies left with their hands full. Before leaving, they asked Yu Yunxin to inform them of new products and new exhibitions.

Yu Yunxin told them that she would hold a fashion exhibition every quarter in the future. They could bring more friends next time, and she also told them the opening time of the jewelry store. They all said that they would not miss it when Princess Xingguo's jewelry store opened.
