At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

Upon hearing this, Concubine Li took out a piece of white jade pendant and said, "This is what your Aunt Li found outside the Imperial Study. I saw that it has the Chinese character 'Lin' on it."

Prince Yu took the jade pendant and said, "It is impossible for it to appear outside the imperial study. I have never been to the imperial study." Suddenly he remembered something. Could it be that I accidentally exchanged with Nangong Sheng before? "

"No wonder she always goes to the Prince's Mansion these days. Could it be that she is going to..." He was interrupted by Concubine Li before he could finish his sentence.

"What did you do to her?"

"Mother, I didn't. I was always wearing a mask and we never did anything beyond the rules." Prince Yu said.

"Okay, mother will help you. Now you can rest assured and recuperate." After saying this, Concubine Li stood up, watched Prince Yu lie down, and walked out the door.

As soon as he went out, Ruan Ming appeared in front of Emperor Cheng with various precious medicinal materials.

When Emperor Cheng saw Concubine Li coming out of the room, he asked, "How is my beloved Concubine Lin'er now?"

She looked at the herbs Ruan Ming had sent and said, "The Crown Prince is really thoughtful. Please give these herbs to me! I will work with the imperial physicians at the Imperial Hospital to find a way to save Lin'er."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Cheng immediately turned around and went back into the house. Prince Yu had fallen into a deep sleep at this time. His haggard figure made Emperor Cheng feel a little sad. He said, "Hu Man, immediately arrange for Prince Yu's salary to be restored to its original state and sent to the palace every month."

"It's the emperor." Hu Man replied immediately.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Li sneered in her heart and said, "Her son will not starve to death if you, the emperor, stop paying him."

"Your Majesty, let's go back and let Lin'er have a good rest." Concubine Li said as she went to pull Emperor Cheng.

"Okay!" After saying this, Emperor Cheng left the room, closed the door, and returned to the palace.

Ten days before Laba Festival, Qiu Yong and Zhao Banzhu finally arrived with the convoy that set out from Nanling County. This time, Ping Su and Hua Jin came to the capital with new goose down clothes and various newly woven woolen cloths.

In a manor outside the capital, Yu Yunxin looked at more than 20 trucks of goods and said, "You must have worked hard on the journey. Why did you bring so much wine?"

"Princess, I heard that the capital city is cold in winter, so I asked Yingying to prepare more wine, and there is also a lot of fruit wine this year." Qiu Yong said.

"Great! Our theater and hotpot are going to open in a few days and I just might need these wines." Yu Yunxin said.

"Pingsu and Huajin, you guys stay in this farm. I have also arranged a group of people to weave with you. You can take care of them when the time comes." Yu Yunxin said to Pingsu and Huajin who were carrying the looms from the carriage.

"Okay! We will follow the princess's arrangements." When Hua Jin saw Qiu Yong's several strong men coming to help, she immediately put down the loom in her hands.

"You just arrived, so take a good rest here first. Tomorrow I will arrange for someone to take you to Xingxin Fabric Workshop and visit my cousin's workshop." Yu Yunxin arranged Ping Su Huajin.

They immediately came happily. Qiu Yong looked at the more than 100 people here and said, "Bring your things and I will take you into the city."

"I have lived for most of my life and never thought that I would be able to visit the capital." said Mr. Zhao.

Yu Yunxin smiled and said, "Boss Zhao, if you perform well, maybe you can enter the palace and perform in front of the emperor and the queen mother!"

"We dare not even think about that, Princess. I will be satisfied if you can gain a foothold in the capital." Mr. Zhao replied.

"Okay, follow closely!" Yu Yunxin said and sat outside the carriage to lead the way.

As soon as I entered the city gate, I saw a group of thugs surrounding Ye Qingqing's carriage, led by a young man in luxurious clothes.

"My little beauty, your carriage just hit my brother. You have to pay for the medical expenses." A hoodlum in a navy blue long cloth jacket looked at Ye Qingqing in a lewd manner and said.

Ye Qingqing hid behind the maid and said, "However much you want, we will accompany you."

The young man in brocade clothes who was leading the group laughed as soon as he heard it and said, "Then how about you accompany me to the flower house to have a drink?"

"Bah! You can't afford to offend my young lady. It's only out of her kindness that she compensates you with money. Don't push your luck." The maid said, blocking Ye Qingqing with one hand.

"Since you said you paid the compensation, why are you still trying to deny it? Brothers, go ahead!"

Qiu Yong watched this scene and said, "Does the capital still have law? They are trying to snatch a woman in the street."

Yu Yunxin said as soon as she saw it: "There are many rich and powerful people in the capital. They are all supported by their noble family titles. You just arrived in the capital, so don't worry about this matter, but this princess will take care of it."

After saying that, he came to Ye Qingqing's side and said, "Don't be afraid, Miss Ye."

"Hey! Here comes another little beauty. Today, this prince is so lucky." As the man said this, someone began to reach out and grab him.

There were more than a dozen men, and the common people who had come into the city also gathered around to watch the fun, pointing and talking as they saw a group of big men bullying three weak women.

"Isn't that the prince of Changning who was just deposed by His Majesty? He is no longer a prince, so how can he still be so bold?"

When Yu Yunxin heard the people around her say that it was the recently deposed Prince of Changning, she smiled and said, "Prince of Changning, how dare you pretend to be the prince?"

"So what? My father is still the Marquis of Changning." The man said arrogantly, "What are you afraid of three women for? Hurry up!"

When ten big men rushed over, Yu Yunxin turned around and kicked one of them up, and then kicked two men who were rushing towards Ye Qingqing, and all three of them fell to the ground immediately.

Then she swung the hilt of the sword backwards and hit the person who rushed behind her directly on the Zhongwan acupoint of the two people. The two people immediately covered their abdomens and rolled on the ground in pain.

Ten people were not enough. She beat them very quickly and all ten of them fell to the ground. The onlookers clapped their hands and shouted, "I didn't expect that this little girl is not only beautiful, but also has such beautiful moves. She knocked down a group of people in just a few rounds. We didn't even see her moves clearly."

On the other side, a man in a carriage was wearing a gorgeous robe with exquisite patterns embroidered on it and a belt inlaid with jewels tied around his waist. There was a sense of nobility in his every move. The sword in the hand of the young man Yu Yunxin said: "The sword of the Ou family has good skills."

"Young Prince, let's hurry into the palace!" The servant beside him immediately said anxiously when he saw his young prince stopped at the city gate to watch the excitement.

"Father, there's nothing to worry about right now. Let me watch for a while." said the young prince.

"You, witch!" The prince of Changning was about to turn around and run when he saw her, but was hit on the acupoints by the hilt of the sword shot by Yu Yunxin.

"Let your people deal with Sister Ye!" Yu Yunxin said, turning back to Ye Qingqing.

"Thank you, Princess." Ye Qingqing didn't know what to say so she could only say thank you. Right after she finished speaking, Yu Yunxin disappeared.

Yunshan saw Yu Yunxin jumping on the horse and asked, "Were the moves that the princess just used the Gentleman Sword Technique?"

"That's right. We can't expose our sect's martial arts casually in the capital, Yunshan, do you understand?" Yu Yunxin said as she gestured for the carriage to go towards the city gate.

"Follow the convoy in front. I want to see whose family they are." Nangong Jue said as he sat in the luxurious carriage.

When they arrived at the theater, it had been built but there was no plaque yet. She called Qiu Yong and others and arranged for them to go into the side yard first. The kitchen building there had also been built, and the second and third floors on both sides were connected, so that customers in the private rooms could walk out from the second and third floors to avoid crowding, and it was also convenient to serve the dishes.

"This building is very special!" Nangong Jue said as he jumped out of the carriage and began to observe the building directly.

As soon as Yu Yunxin entered the side building, she felt a presence approaching. "There are people from the underworld approaching here, Yunshan, you stay here and protect them."

Yu Yunxin walked straight towards Nangong Jue with the sword in hand.

"Who are you and why are you here?" Yu Yunxin looked at the young man.

Young Ye glanced at the servant behind Yu Yunxin who was about to speak and said, "Little Prince, I will go to the palace quickly!"

Yu Yunxin heard the little princess ask: "Which little prince are you from?"

The servant replied, "Miss, we are from Canglan City, and this is our young prince."

"So you are the son of Prince Yi of Canglan City. I am the eldest daughter of the Minister of Justice, Yu Yunxin." When Yu Yunxin heard that he was from Canglan City, she took another look at the young man with extraordinary demeanor and did not doubt his identity, so she immediately introduced herself.

"So it was you and your daughter who saved my father! I saw you, princess, making a move at the city gate just now and I was curious so I followed you. You were using the Gentleman Sword Technique just now." Nangong Jue asked excitedly.

"This is the sword technique my father taught me! If you are interested, you can come to my house another day. My father is willing to teach you a few moves." Yu Yunxin replied.

"Great! My mother was just asking me to bring a thank-you gift to visit you. I didn't expect to meet the princess by chance." Nangong Jue chatted with Yu Yunxin for a while.

When leaving, he said, "Well, I'll take my leave now. See you another day."

"Goodbye, my young prince. I have something important to attend to, so I won't see you off." Yu Yunxin replied.

"No need to see me off!" After Nangong Jue said this, he used his lightness skills to jump onto the carriage and then lay directly on it, waiting for the servant to get on.

The servant caught up with the carriage breathlessly. The young prince said angrily, "You are too slow. I will punish you by making you run from here to the palace." After that, he asked the coachman to drive the carriage and left the servant alone.

"Young Prince, please don't abandon me!" said the servant as he tried to chase the carriage.

After putting their luggage away, Qiu Yong and his companions visited the stage which had already been built.

"This stage is too big!" Qiu Yong said in shock.

"It's not that big. You can just rehearse here for the next few days. We'll have a lively first show. Let's rehearse according to the first chapter of Journey to the West!" said Yu Yunxin.

"Princess, we found a ventriloquist and a band of musicians on the road. I saw your painting of Journey to the West, and it has some elements of flying in the clouds and mist that can change size. How do you perform the Seventy-Two Transformations?" asked Military Advisor Zhao.

Yu Yunxin laughed when she heard this: "This is easy, Qiu Yong, you also know how to do shadow puppetry, you can use tones and shadow puppetry as a substitute."

Yu Yunxin first listened to the ventriloquist's music and arranged the drum team. She has even thought of the opening theme song and the ending theme song. After arranging the singers, she began to teach Qiu Yong how to perform magic tricks by refracting lights and shadows.

With the addition of her special smoke made from sulfur stone and the mist made from water vapor under the stage, which was also blown by a fan made by Li Sinong, it was very easy to conceal the figures of some of the actors.

"My Lord, you have all these little tricks. It will be no problem for you to be the owner of this troupe." Troupe leader Zhao was impressed by Yu Yunxin's manipulation as he watched the stage changes.

"Okay, Mr. Zhao, you have to watch everything. We are going to open a theater in the night market town in the future. The stage design must include these sprays and lights, okay? I will accompany you throughout this performance." Yu Yunxin said.

"It's great to have you as a military advisor accompanying me, Princess. I believe our troupe can definitely gain a foothold in the capital." Qiu Yong said excitedly.

"Okay, everyone must be tired after traveling these days, so go back and rest!" Yu Yunxin said and asked Tan Tai Muxue to arrange food, clothing, housing and transportation for Qiu Yong and his group. There happened to be an open space in the backyard of the kitchen for them to rehearse.

These days, Yu Yunxin simply brought Mu Yihe to the theater every day. Mu Yihe was responsible for the stage background paintings and scenery reliefs, striving for perfection.

Seeing that Mu Yihe was so good at painting and sculpture at a young age, Master Zhao volunteered to teach Mu Yihe academically and how to behave. Although Master Zhao was not a famous talent, he was definitely a good teacher when it came to imparting academic knowledge.

Now Mu Yihe not only carves pictures, but also carves regular script characters in the style of calligraphy masters.

Looking at these carvings, Yu Yunxin recalled that there was printing in this era, but no color pictures and newspapers. If she had these, could she do a better job of promoting the theater and hot pot restaurant? She could even promote the jewelry store and cloth shop together, and publish daily and weekly newspapers.

As he was thinking, he was interrupted by Tan Tai Mu Xue: "What name should I give to this building, Princess?"

"Can everyone think of a name that fits both hotpot and opera troupe?" Yu Yunxin threw this difficult question to everyone.

Everyone fell into deep thought.

"I think it should be called Journey to the West Tower?" Qiu Yong said.

"No, are you going to perform Journey to the West from now on?" Yu Yunxin immediately rejected the name.

"Then let's call it Quanfulou." Mu Xue said.

"No, that's too vulgar." Mu Yihe objected.

"How about Yangminglou? Our opera troupe and hotpot restaurant want to become famous in Dacheng." asked the troupe leader Zhao.

Yu Yunxin asked them to vote, and in the end Yangminglou received the most votes.

"Okay, now that the name is chosen, and the play 'Havoc in Heaven' has been rehearsed these days, let's choose a good date to open the business!" Yu Yunxin said, standing up.

"Good!" Everyone applauded.

"From now on, this Yangming Building belongs to everyone. No matter where you come from, this is your territory. We can hold small meetings every day and a large meeting once a month to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of Yangming Building. Everyone has to make a suggestion and everyone has to speak on the stage. Do you understand?" Yu Yunxin first explained the management system.

Everyone had now performed various roles on stage, and they all agreed with this suggestion.

"Okay, I will find a few more actresses to play the female roles tomorrow. There will also be various female fairies later on who will need her cooperation." Yu Yunxin said as she looked at the troupe which consisted mostly of men.

Everyone had no objection when they heard this, after all, all of this required various kinds of cooperation.

Seeing that Yangming Building was almost ready, she happily returned to Yu Mansion and wanted to tell her father, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, the good news.
