Because she understood deeply that in such a solemn occasion, even the slightest mistake could lead to extremely serious consequences.

Looking around, the officials surrounding him all had solemn expressions and focused eyes, not daring to slack off or be negligent in the slightest.

Even the princes who were usually pampered were kneeling there respectfully, quietly waiting for the arrival of the emperor.

The breeze blew gently, inadvertently causing ripples on everyone's clothes, but at this moment, no one would pay attention to these insignificant details.

Time seemed to be completely frozen as if it had been cast under a spell. In the huge and silent palace, even the air seemed to be stagnant and no longer flowing.

It was quiet all around, so quiet that one could almost hear the sound of one's own heartbeat.

In this suffocating silence, a steady and powerful sound of footsteps slowly came from afar.

Then, the tall and majestic figure of the emperor appeared at the entrance of the palace, followed closely by a humble and pleasing eunuch.

The emperor walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, and each step was firm and determined. However, if one looked closely, one could find that beneath this firmness there was a hint of imperceptible heaviness.

From the moment the emperor stepped into the palace, his sharp and deep eyes subconsciously searched for Ye Zifen's beautiful figure.

His eyes swept across everyone present as quickly as lightning, and finally, he caught sight of the figure he was looking for - Ye Zifen, dressed in gorgeous attire, with a graceful figure and heroic air, like a gorgeous peony blooming among thousands of flowers, dazzling and brilliant.

However, it was this beautiful scenery that, when it came into the emperor's eyes, made him feel a complicated and inexplicable feeling in his heart.

The emperor turned his head away slightly, as if he wanted to escape from the scene before him, or as if he was desperately suppressing the emotions surging in his heart.

In fact, the thing that has always been on his mind and made him feel resentful towards Ye Zifen is the attitude of the emperor towards Ye Zifen and Zhang Gaoyi.

Whenever the emperor looked at the two of them, his eyes were always filled with love and care, a kind of warmth that the emperor had never felt since he was a child.

In particular, the way the emperor treated Ye Zifen was like he was caring for her as if she were his most precious daughter.

This obvious preference made the emperor feel deeply lost and uncontrollable jealousy.

It seemed as if all the princes were far surpassed. He, also the son of the retired emperor, had tried his best to win his father's recognition and attention.

However, every hopeful wait eventually ends up being shattered like a dream.

In his opinion, the emperor's heart was clearly more inclined towards the eldest princess of Fujian, named Ye Zifen.

This favoritism was like a sharp dagger that deeply hurt his heart.

Deep down in his heart, he always believed that the cold treatment he suffered was all caused by Ye Zifen.

Not only that, even his mother's life in the palace became dull and neglected because of Ye Zifen's existence.

All these things intertwined together made his feelings towards Ye Zifen more complicated.

He was dissatisfied, and the resentment kept piling up in his heart like a snowball, but faced with such a situation, he was at a loss and didn't know how to vent his anger.

The circumstances involved here are extremely complicated. Not only is the matter of his mother involved, but even the past of the former Crown Princess is involved.

As for Ye Zifen, neither his mother nor the former Crown Princess liked her very much.

However, what is surprising is that despite this, there is still a certain degree of conflict between Ye Zifen and the Crown Princess.

At this moment, the emperor, as the ruler of a country, is treating his wife with full of guilt.

It was only because of the current situation that he was unable to enthrone her as queen.

You know, the imperial edict used to seal the queen has not been issued yet.

Of course, the poor wife still foolishly believed that sooner or later she would become the queen and rule the country.

However, the cruel reality is that this position is destined not to belong to her.

The reason is simple. On the one hand, the emperor is still alive, and on the other hand, Ye Zifen holds the imperial sword, which symbolizes supreme power.

They don't allow it.

Faced with such a situation, even though the emperor was unwilling, he had no choice but to let down his wife.

Moreover, besides this matter, what was lingering on his mind at the moment was his beloved daughter, Princess Anle.

Now, the imperial edict to confer the title of Princess Anle has been drafted, but according to common sense, the title of the eldest princess should never fall on Ye Zifen no matter what.

His wife's expectant eyes seemed to be right before his eyes, but he was powerless to fulfill her wish.

At this moment, the emperor's inner entanglement was like a tangled mess that could not be cut or sorted out.

The powerful aura displayed by Ye Zifen when she held the imperial sword, as well as the supreme majesty of the emperor, made the emperor dare not move easily.

Ye Zifen was keenly aware that a sharp gaze like an eagle was fixed on her body.

She knew without thinking that this must be the gaze of the new emperor who had just ascended the throne and was extremely powerful.

At this moment, as an official in the court, she had a calm face as she knelt on the ground to pay homage respectfully and waited quietly.

Just as that dazzling bright yellow figure slowly passed by her side, Ye Zifen suddenly noticed that his steps seemed to pause for a moment.

Although this moment was extremely short, for Ye Zifen, who was extremely careful and cautious, it was like a heavy hammer hitting her heart.

In an instant, her heart, which had been beating relatively steadily, suddenly contracted violently. She had no idea what the deep meaning of this brief pause was.

However, before she could come to her senses and think carefully, the bright yellow figure had already moved forward quickly and disappeared in front of her in the blink of an eye.

Ye Zifen kept her head down the whole time, not daring to make any rash moves. She could only vaguely hear the sound of the bright yellow sleeves that symbolized the supreme imperial power fluttering in the breeze.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, when the emperor sat steadily on the extremely noble dragon throne and looked around at the kneeling courtiers, he nodded slightly.

At this moment, a high-pitched and sharp shout suddenly rang out: "Get up--"
