Parents are busy farming

After all, the succession of the throne is full of variables. Who can guarantee that everything will be safe and stable?

She absolutely did not want the people she cared about to fall into the capital city, a seemingly prosperous but dangerous place.

Ye Zifen frowned slightly and said to her father-in-law, "I know, but I feel uncomfortable listening to the emperor's words. Our emperor has been too tired these years."

It was the first time that the eunuch heard someone say that the emperor was tired. He was the person who had stayed with the emperor the longest, and he understood the emperor's hardships best.

Everyone wants to sit in that position, but they don’t know what the person in that position has undertaken.

Princess Fuxia was a sensible person, and he quickly comforted her: "Princess, your status is already very noble now, and you have worked hard all these years alone. The general is still waiting, and the emperor is also waiting, so you should not delay your marriage any longer."

My father-in-law pointed it out.

Ye Zifen sighed. She knew very well that she would shoulder responsibilities for a period of time in the future and could not let her momentary emotions affect the overall situation.

So she answered firmly: "Go back and tell the emperor, I know the priorities of the matter and will not embarrass the emperor."

Ye Zifen sent her father-in-law away, and from today on, the County Lord's Mansion was changed to the Princess's Mansion.

Everyone came to congratulate Ye Zifen. Mu Hongzhou said, "In just two years, the girl has gone from a county lady to a princess. There will be no more promotions in the future!"

In fact, she was a little worried at this time. Among many maids and sisters, she was the only one who was either a county princess or a princess. How could others not be jealous when seeing her?

It would be fine if she was the only one leading the caravan, but doesn’t Ziwei also come with her?

There are also some people in the entire caravan who have become high and low officials by following Zhang Gaoyi. However, these people in the caravan have contributed no less than those people, yet they have nothing. How can everyone feel balanced?

Just as she was thinking about whether to remind Ye Zifen, she saw Ye Zifen smiling at everyone and said, "Eunuch just revealed that the emperor plans to reward the caravan with some gold and silver for capturing the bandits alive this time."

Sure enough, everyone was happy after she said this.

Mu Hongzhou also felt relieved. Yes, they didn’t need official positions in the court now. They preferred freedom and as long as they had money, that was enough.

She felt that she was overthinking, but she also knew that she had this idea because she had been with those junior brothers who were officers in the army today.

They were always talking about official and military matters, so she was also influenced.

It seems that I still need to talk more with people from other caravans, and I can’t always hang out with these junior brothers! Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but laugh.

At this time, a mistress smiled and said to the man next to her: "That's good now. You don't have to feel bad about the money you spent today. Isn't there money coming in now?"

The man next to him nodded quickly and agreed: "Yes, yes, yes, my lady is still far-sighted."

Ye Zifen looked at them with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "What's the cost?"

Aunt Qi explained, "Everyone is curious about the capital, so after packing up their things, they went out shopping and bought some things."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zifen quickly said, "Don't worry, Master's wives. Let's go find Meng'er later and ask her to provide for you. I'll pay for today's shopping."

The mistresses quickly waved their hands and refused, "We are not without money, why should we ask a little girl like you to pay for it?"

Ye Zifen insisted, "I just became a princess. I will have a fiefdom in the future, so I can afford it. It can also be considered as my filial piety."

After hearing this, several wives smiled at each other and said jokingly, "We are not old yet, but we have received filial respect. We have finally found the man we were looking for."

Mu Hongzhou smiled and said, "There are still a few singles. You should introduce some sisters to them as soon as possible, so that they don't have to look at you with envy."

The wives of the masters all agreed and quickly responded, "Okay, I'll ask my female friends to come to the capital to have a gathering later. Those friends are now protecting the refugees returning home, I think it won't take long to be done."

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

However, as it was getting late, everyone decided to go back and rest.

Ye Zifen and her family continued to stay where they were.

When we first met today, Ye Zifen was hurriedly summoned into the palace, so there were many things we didn't have time to say.

Now that there are no outsiders around, everyone can speak freely.

Ye Yongwang did not ask any more questions, not because he was not worried about his daughter, but because the imperial decree to confer the title of princess had already been issued, which meant that Ye Zifen was safe and sound in the palace, so he stopped asking any more questions.

Although he remained silent, Ye Zifen took the initiative to speak to Ye Ziwei, saying, "I have already asked the emperor to confer you the title of county lord, and the emperor has agreed, but the imperial edict may take a few more days to come down."

As soon as she said this, everyone except Ye Ziwei was surprised.

Ye Ziwei asked: "Fifth sister, why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Ye Zifen said: "The emperor was very happy at the time, so I dared to make this request, but I was actually not sure."

Then he reminded her, "You should learn some of the rules and etiquette of the capital from Madam Qi these days. Yujie should be able to come to the capital in the next two days, and then he should come to discuss the marriage."

When I was not a county princess before, it was easier to get married. Now that I am a county princess, many etiquettes are different. Naturally, I have to learn them all over again to avoid embarrassing myself.

Ye Ziwei nodded seriously, "I understand."

Ye Yongwang asked: "The emperor agreed to confer the title of county lady on Ziwei? Does this affect you?"

Ye Zifen shook her head. "Ziwei has been training people in the caravan for many years. Some of the Tiger Army was trained by her. Besides, she married into the Hong family, so the emperor has to consider the Hong family's face, right? It just so happens that the emperor is doing a favor. So it has no impact on me."

Ye Ziwei couldn't help feeling moved when she heard what Ye Zifen said.

She didn't expect that she would receive such an honor, and she didn't expect that Ye Zifen would ask the emperor to confer the title of county lord on her.

She looked at Ye Zifen gratefully and said, "Thank you, sister."

Ye Zifen smiled and shook her head. "No need to thank me, this is what you deserve. You will be the county lord from now on, so you must take good care of yourself and don't let others bully you."

Ye Ziwei nodded vigorously, indicating that she would try her best to do her best.

At this time, Aunt Qi on the side smiled and said to Ye Ziwei: "Congratulations, Sixth Miss! Congratulations, Sixth Miss! From now on, you will be the county lady, and you can enjoy more wealth and honor."

Ye Ziwei smiled slightly and nodded to Nanny Qi to express her gratitude.

"It will be up to Aunt Qi to trouble you next!"

Aunt Qi said: "I am very happy to work hard!"
