Parents are busy farming

When the other party heard this, his eyes lit up instantly, and he responded quickly and cleverly like a cunning fox: "That's great! When we return, I can follow your fleet closely. In this way, those bandits will not dare to act rashly. In addition, I also plan to send some people to your place to study your martial arts, so that we don't have to be afraid of the invasion of those bandits in the future."

Ye Zifen muttered to herself in her heart...the more she listened, the more she felt like someone was taking advantage of her!

She couldn't help but frowned and said with difficulty: "It is hard to determine when my caravan will return or when it will set off again, so what should you do...

"However, the other party seemed to not care at all and interrupted without hesitation: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, I can follow your schedule completely."

Okay, now I’m in real trouble and it’s hard to get out of it!

"Well, let's make a decision after we go to Beijing to meet the emperor!" Ye Zifen did not agree on the spot, nor did she express clear opposition. She just postponed the matter for the time being.

As night fell, a sumptuous dinner was ready.

Today, Mrs. Feng used all her skills to show off her culinary skills.

Although the number of dishes is limited, each one is a carefully prepared delicacy that takes a lot of time and effort and is quite ingenious.

Not only that, Ye Zifen also specially invited a group of officials from surrounding areas to visit the mansion.

Among them were officials responsible for collecting grain, local county magistrates, and generals in the military camp guarding the port, led by Hong Yujie.

"You all have taken the trouble to come to my humble residence today, which really makes my humble home glorious! Especially our foreign friends who have come from afar, they have added a special touch of color to this residence."

After the maidservant beside her filled the glass with wine, Ye Zifen elegantly picked up the wine glass, looked around at everyone, and said softly: "Thank you all for your kindness. I hope you will join me in entertaining our distinguished guests."

At this time, the official who was specially sent by the emperor to collect the grain also hurriedly stood up and carefully held the wine glass with both hands.

With a smile on his face, he said, "Princess Fuxia is very kind! It is our honor to be invited here this time! It is really a pleasure to see this distinguished foreign guest coming to our Great Xia!"

Then, the county magistrate also hurriedly echoed: "If the princess has any needs, just ask, the county government will do its best to support you!"

Ye Zifen nodded slightly to express her gratitude, and although the generals did not say anything, they all raised their glasses at the same time.

Then, Ye Zifen turned to a prince from another country and said with a smile: "Warmly welcome you to Daxia. If the hospitality is not good enough, please forgive me. You can rest here for a few days."

Unexpectedly, the prince didn't take it seriously, but laughed heartily: "Haha, I don't feel wronged, I like you here so much!"

After that, everyone drank the wine in their glasses and began to taste the sumptuous food on the table.

At this time, the foreign prince looked at the people around him who were respectful to Ye Zifen, and couldn't help but feel curious, so he asked, "Is your status in the Great Xia Kingdom as respected as my butler?"

There seemed to be a hint of disbelief in his tone.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zifen's mouth slightly lifted up, revealing a faint smile, and she said softly: "This is very different! Our positions are very different, and although I have some royal blood, that is a very distant thing. My current position is a special gift from His Majesty."

She thought to herself, how could she be compared with that man? After all, his biological father was originally the king of a country, and then his brother inherited the throne.

The current emperor of Daxia is her great uncle, and it is unknown how many generations separate them.

If what she did was not in line with the emperor's wishes, and if her grandfather had not made many contributions in the past, I'm afraid few people would still remember her.

Fortunately, this person did not take this matter to heart, and was soon attracted by the dazzling array of delicious food in front of him.

Since the caravans led by Ye Zifen visited this place frequently, the other party was already familiar with how to use Daxia's chopsticks to eat.

His technique was extremely skillful, as if he was born with the ability.

What’s even more amazing is that he seems to be surrounded by some mysterious power that enables him to quickly discern which dishes he has put more effort into.

Every time she picked up something, the purple tip of her chopsticks always landed accurately on the delicacies that were made with elaborate craftsmanship, and even Ye Zifen couldn't help but admire her.

She sighed in her heart: It's really just appetite!

At this moment, she thought of Mu Hongzhou and Ye Ziwei.

Nanny Qi always remained alert, paying close attention to every move around her. No movement could escape her sharp eyes.

As long as there is a slight need, she can quickly dispatch personnel to help deal with it.

Ye Zifen was filled with endless gratitude for Nanny Qi's careful care and thoughtful arrangements over the years.

Looking back to when she first arrived at the seaside, Ye Zifen was full of enthusiasm and energy, and wanted to do everything herself.

However, it was the wise and experienced Aunt Qi who successfully convinced her with her unique insights.

She once said: "Girl, now that you are a princess, even if you don't consider other factors, just to avoid arousing suspicion from the royal family, you should act in a moderate way. It would be better to hire some reliable people to come into the mansion to help manage it."

These words were like a revelation to Ye Zifen, and she suddenly realized.

After that, many matters, such as the expansion of the house, were approved by Ye Zifen after careful consideration and detailed analysis by Nanny Qi.

Now, seeing how this banquet was prepared in an orderly manner without any omissions, Ye Zifen finally understood the profound meaning of what Aunt Qi had said in the past.

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly: If it weren't for a capable assistant like Aunt Qi to help and advise her, I'm afraid I would find it difficult to cope with such complicated affairs, let alone manage everything so properly.

At this moment, her admiration and gratitude for Madam Qi grew stronger.

Before long, the atmosphere at the banquet heated up rapidly and became extremely lively.

And all this is thanks to our distinguished guest from a foreign country, who has an extremely outgoing and sociable personality.

Although he was not very fluent in the language of Daxia and spoke it with some hesitation, this did not affect the enthusiasm he displayed at all.

This is true even when it comes to things that need to be explained.

In any case, at this point, he was already having pleasant conversations with several other officials.
