Parents are busy farming

The emperor slowly stretched out his slender and white fingers, and his movements were so gentle as if he was afraid of damaging some rare treasure, and he gently and carefully touched Ye Zifen's smooth jade-like forehead.

Ye Zifen was slightly startled at first, but then she reacted and said with a sweet smile, "Isn't that so?"

As she spoke, her lively big eyes blinked playfully a few times, as dazzling as the twinkling stars in the night sky.

Then, she crossed her arms in front of her chest and raised her chin slightly, looking like a stubborn yet cute child.

"Your Majesty, you must be obedient, otherwise I won't agree!"

Ye Zifen's tone was brisk and pleasant, with a hint of coquettishness in it, which made people feel pity and love for her.

The emperor gazed with interest at the lively and charming woman in front of him who was as lively as an elf. His eyes were full of endless indulgence and pampering, just like the warm sunshine in spring shining on the earth.

He smiled and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."

Hearing the emperor's submissive answer, Ye Zifen nodded contentedly and breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

At the same time, the corners of her beautiful lips lifted slightly, outlining a charming curve, and two shallow dimples appeared on both cheeks, just like two shy peach blossoms blooming in the morning sun, so beautiful.

"Your Majesty, you must remember to take good care of yourself. I will be watching your every move at all times!"

Ye Zifen spoke again with concern.

The emperor still had that amiable smile on his face, and he responded softly, "I know, little girl."

Just a few simple words, yet they are filled with deep love for Ye Zifen.

Not long after Ye Zifen entered the palace, she was about to leave when she heard a sharp shout from behind her: "Princess Fuxia, please stay!"

She turned around and saw a eunuch in a gray dragon robe and holding a whisk walking towards her quickly.

Eunuch Huang came closer, bowed slightly to Ye Zifen, and then said loudly: "The emperor has ordered that Princess Fuxia will be responsible for drafting various imperial edicts in the palace, assisting the prime minister, participating in the discussion of state affairs, and reviewing memorials in advance. She will be promoted to the third rank. I decree!"

When Ye Zifen heard this, her heart was shocked and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

She originally thought that the emperor would assign her to one of the six ministries. After all, with her talent and ability, it would not be difficult for her to be qualified for those positions.

However, this sudden order really caught her off guard.

Her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, and her eyes revealed deep doubts.

Is this the result of the emperor's careful consideration, or is it just a casual arrangement made on a whim?

Ye Zifen was puzzled.

At this moment, she stood quietly in the center of the palace, her thoughts in her mind intertwined like a tangled mess.

With the Emperor making such a decision, isn't he worried that she will collude with the Prime Minister?

If that were the case, the situation in the court would probably become chaotic.

However, although the emperor did not act in a fair way in the matter of competing for the throne and enthroning the queen, he has always been known for his wisdom and kindness. It is absolutely impossible for him to make such a foolish and confused decision!

So, the emperor actually trusts her ability and character.

The breeze gently blew through her silky hair, but the breeze could not dispel the deep worry that lingered in her heart.

She knew very well that this sudden appointment was both a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her and an unprecedented challenge.

The road ahead for her is bound to be filled with countless unknowns and unpredictable variables.

However, after careful consideration, she felt that such an arrangement might be much better than working in one of the six ministries.

At this time, Ye Zifen asked softly, "Did the emperor mention when this appointment will take effect?"

Eunuch Huang, who was standing nearby, quickly responded, "Princess, the emperor has not given any clear instructions on this. But in my opinion, since the prime minister has already received the relevant order, you can start taking up your post today."

Hearing this, Ye Zifen couldn't help but frowned slightly, and a thoughtful look flashed in her beautiful eyes.

She was seen biting her pink lower lip gently, as if she was carefully weighing the pros and cons in her heart.

Ye Zifen slowly raised her head and cast her gaze towards the vast, blue sky in the distance.

In this clear blue, it seems that countless unknown secrets are hidden, waiting for her to uncover them one by one.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly spoke again, breaking the temporary silence around them: "Eunuch Huang, do you know where the Prime Minister is now?"

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Huang bowed and replied, "Your Excellency, Princess, as far as I know, the Prime Minister should be busy handling court affairs in the side hall right now."

Ye Zifen nodded slightly, a hint of determination flashed in her beautiful eyes. She opened her red lips and said, "In this case, I will go find the Prime Minister right away."

Eunuch Huang, who was standing nearby, bowed and said, "Your servant respectfully sends off Her Royal Highness Princess Fuxia."

Originally, Ye Zifen planned to return to the princess's residence, but now she had not yet stepped out of the palace, so she simply changed her itinerary and went straight to where the prime minister was.

She gently waved the silk sleeves in her hand, and her pace became noticeably faster as she moved forward with lotus steps.

However, before going to meet the prime minister, the thoughtful Ye Zifen decided to find a familiar eunuch first.

Soon, she saw a familiar figure not far away and walked forward.

When she got closer, she took out a few taels of silver from her bosom and handed them to the young eunuch, and whispered, "Please ask this eunuch to go to the Princess's residence and inform the Duke of Chongguo of my current situation. In addition, order him to quickly prepare 40,000 taels of silver for use."

The eunuch took the silver with both hands, and couldn't help but put it in his arms. His face was instantly filled with a flattering smile, and he hurriedly responded, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I promise to deliver your message word for word."

Ye Zifen nodded slightly to show her approval, and then urged: "There is no time to lose, go and handle it quickly, don't delay."

The young eunuch nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, I obey your command. I will do it right away."

After saying this, he turned around and left in a hurry as if he had greased his feet.

Ye Zifen watched the eunuch's back getting farther and farther away until he disappeared.
