Parents are busy farming

Seeing this, the emperor couldn't help but cough softly.

When Ye Zifen heard the voice, she looked up, quickly took Ye Ziwei's hand, carefully wiped it clean with her handkerchief, and then saluted the emperor together.

The emperor raised his hand slightly, motioning them to stand up, and then walked to the couch and sat down.

Seeing this, the eunuch beside him hurried forward and presented the emperor with a cup of fragrant tea.

The emperor picked up the teacup, took a sip, then turned his gaze to the two sisters standing in front of him, his eyes full of satisfaction.

The elder sister was bright and beautiful, while the younger sister was heroic and valiant. They each had their own characteristics and were equally beautiful.

The emperor smiled and said, "This is the first time I have met Princess Fuxia's family. She is indeed a heroic girl. General Hong has a good eye."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zifen hurriedly bowed and thanked him: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty! We sisters are just ordinary women, and we really don't deserve such praise from the emperor."

The emperor just smiled after hearing this, not paying attention to her humble words, and instead turned his gaze to the plates of snacks on the small table.

At this time, there was only one lonely dessert left on the plate. It was obvious that he had arrived at an unlucky time, otherwise this dessert would not have been left behind.

He couldn't help but laugh out loud: "It seems that the county lady really likes the snacks in the palace? Then when you leave later, you can take some back to taste."

When the eunuch heard this, he immediately bowed and said, "Then I will order the imperial kitchen to make more snacks?"

The emperor smiled and waved his hand, signaling him to get ready quickly.

After the eunuch left, the emperor said to Ye Ziwei, "You and your sister are both my juniors, so don't be so reserved."

Ye Ziwei said obediently: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The eunuch came in, and the emperor smiled and said to him, "Take the county lady to the imperial garden. This is the first time the county lady has entered the palace!"

The father-in-law bowed quickly in response, then led Ye Ziwei out after performing the ceremony.

Ye Zifen looked out the window and secretly thanked her luck: Fortunately, the weather is not too hot now.

After the two left, the emperor looked at Ye Zifen with a smile on his face and said, "Girl, you have been really wronged this time."

Although the emperor's words were a bit incoherent, Ye Zifen knew exactly what he was referring to.

She smiled and replied softly, "Since nothing has happened yet, Your Majesty has already made the decision for me, how can you say that I have been wronged?"

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "I know very well that you are a sensible child. Don't worry, I have already dealt with everything that needs to be dealt with. The prince also knows about this matter, and he has also expressed his attitude, so let's end this matter here!"

Ye Zifen nodded obediently, indicating that she would follow the emperor's arrangements.

The emperor then asked, "Regarding your marriage with the general, how are you thinking about it now?"

Ye Zifen remained silent and fell into deep thought, as if she was weighing something important.

Finally, she raised her head, her eyes firm and resolute, and said: "After Ziwei gets married, I beg the emperor to grant us marriage."

Hearing these words, the emperor felt relieved. He breathed a sigh of relief and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

However, he could not help but sigh and said with emotion: "I now know what kind of person the general's mother is. No wonder you always hesitate. But now it's good. You are already a princess. She has to bow to you first when she sees you. Don't worry, the whole royal family will stand behind you and give you the greatest support and protection."

Ye Zifen was filled with gratitude. She knelt on the ground, bowed solemnly, and said with a choked voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The emperor quickly helped her up and said with a smile, "The general has now divided the Tiger Army into two parts. One part will set out for the seaside in the next two days. Is everything ready over there?"

Ye Zifen nodded and said confidently: "I think the general will send those who are familiar with the seaside conditions. In this way, they can quickly adapt to the environment and take action. At that time, the full cooperation of the court may be needed."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction. He could rest assured that these two children were the ones who got things done.

Then he praised: "Your discovery of that weapon was a great help, saving us Daxia a lot of effort. This is a great contribution of yours!"

Ye Zifen said: "Now that Daxia is able to manufacture these things on its own, Your Majesty can finally rest assured."

At the beginning, in order to make a cannon, Chen Lixing led several people who were very interested in this to study the black lump she brought back.

However, an unfortunate incident occurred and two people were injured in an experiment.

One of them lost an eye and another lost an arm.

Fortunately, the two have been properly accommodated by Ye Zifen.

Even if they can no longer work, Ye Zifen's caravan will still pay them the same amount of wages as other team members on time every month to ensure that their family's quality of life will not be affected by their physical condition.

Even Chen Lixing himself had a scar on his face.

Fortunately, after unremitting efforts, they finally succeeded in developing the cannon.

Ye Zifen said with emotion: "In the future, we should encourage more Daxia people to go out and learn from those overseas countries that are better than us. This will benefit us a lot."

Once you have learned the technology, you don’t have to start researching from scratch. Having a reference will allow you to create it faster.

Then you can study your own things.

After hearing this, the emperor nodded repeatedly to show his strong agreement.

This is also one of the reasons why he was eager to build a navy.

He sighed, "Yes, if we don't learn, how can we know that others have such powerful technology? Once we encounter foreign invasion, we can only passively take the beating."

The two chatted happily and before they knew it, a lot of time had passed.

When Ye Zifen and Ye Ziwei left the palace, they walked out of the palace together with the emperor's generous rewards.

These rewards included not only delicious snacks carefully prepared by the imperial chef, but also a night-shining pearl specially bestowed by the emperor to Ye Zifen.

When the emperor showed the night pearl to Ye Zifen, she was immediately attracted by the soft light it emitted.

The light was as beautiful as the bright moonlight, and Ye Zifen fell in love with it at first sight.

Although Ye Zifen knew very well that this treasure had no practical use compared to medicinal herbs, silks, calligraphy and paintings, she could not resist the desire for such an exquisite item.

Finally, Ye Zifen decided to follow her inner desires and gladly accepted this precious gift.
