Parents are busy farming

Ye Zifen's willow-like eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and her originally clear and bright eyes now revealed a trace of worry that was difficult to conceal.

She opened her red lips and said slowly, "Alas! Those officials are fighting openly and secretly all day long, scheming against each other, and will do anything to gain the so-called power and interests! Now that I have taken such a step, they will definitely not give up easily."

She seemed to be talking to herself, "You know, they have been struggling in the officialdom for so many years, and they have long been accustomed to this kind of intrigue and calculation. What I did has undoubtedly directly touched their core interests."

At this point, Ye Zifen paused for a moment, took a deep breath and continued, "But since I have made up my mind to do this, I will never back down. It's nothing more than asking them to pay some money."

Aunt Qi comforted them, "Some of this money should not be embezzled or pocketed by them, but should be used to benefit the people and truly benefit the common people."

Ye Zifen agreed and said, "I know very well in my heart that my actions will definitely cause them to feel extremely dissatisfied, and I might even suffer crazy revenge from them. But..."

But what it was, Nanny Qi knew it clearly.

Ye Zifen added: "As the saying goes, 'stealing someone's money is like killing their parents'. To be honest, I am still a little worried at this moment. After all, these officials have worked hard in the officialdom for so many years, and their network of relationships is complicated and entangled. However, as long as I always maintain my integrity, uprightness, behave honestly, do things in a down-to-earth manner, and resolutely not do anything that can be used by others, then naturally there is nothing to be afraid of!"

After hearing what Ye Zifen said, Aunt Qi bowed and responded quickly: "Princess, you have such extraordinary courage and bravery, you will definitely be able to deal with all difficulties and obstacles calmly. But in the future, when dealing with various affairs, you really need to be doubly cautious! After all, the situation in the palace is turbulent and changing rapidly. Even the slightest mistake or negligence is very likely to make us fall into the bottomless abyss and never recover!"

Ye Zifen couldn't help but sigh softly when she heard this. Her beautiful but slightly sad eyes drooped slightly, and she said softly, "I know what Madam said. The situation in the inner court of the palace is indeed complicated and unpredictable. If you are not careful, you may end up in disgrace or even lose your life."

After saying that, she raised her head and looked into the distance with a firm yet worried gaze.

At this time, Aunt Qi hurriedly spoke to comfort her, "Princess, you are naturally smart and clever. No matter what crisis or predicament you encounter, I believe you can rely on your wisdom and strategy to overcome the danger and turn danger into safety."

After hearing Aunt Qi's comforting words, Ye Zifen showed a faint smile on her face, but the smile soon disappeared.

She slowly took steps and began to pace slowly in the courtyard, muttering to herself as she walked: "I hope it's just as Mammy said... Now we can only act according to circumstances, take each step carefully, and take each step as it comes."

As she moved with light steps, her fluttering clothes seemed to reveal a sense of helplessness and melancholy.

After talking with Aunt Qi for a while, Ye Zifen turned and walked towards her room.

When she gently pushed open the door, she saw Zhang Gaoyi sitting upright on the bed, reading the book in his hand intently.

Ye Zifen walked to the bedside and asked softly, "How long have you been walking underground today?"

Zhang Gaoyi pursed her lips slightly, thinking to herself that this matter certainly was not told to her by Aunt Qi, so it must have been Ye Zifen who guessed it based on her understanding of her.

After all, they were childhood sweethearts, so it was not surprising that she could guess that he would be able to walk.

So Zhang Gaoyi answered carefully: "I only went down to the ground two or three times, and each time it took about a cup of tea."

After hearing this answer, Ye Zifen immediately asked, "Was it two times or three times?"

Zhang Gaoyi smiled, scratched his head and said, "Oh, I forgot about it, but don't worry, I don't feel any discomfort in my body."

However, Ye Zifen rolled her eyes disapprovingly, then turned and walked to the basin to wash up.

At this time, Zhang Gaoyi hurriedly said: "I guess you must be exhausted today! Why don't we eat something to fill our stomachs first, and then we can have a good chat about what happened in the court today."

While washing up, Ye Zifen muttered to herself, "Humph, you are the only one who likes to show off. You haven't even fully recovered yet, but you still have to do this."

Even though she said this, her hands did not stop moving at all.

Zhang Gaoyi slowly put down the half-read book in his hand, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a flattering smile, and said softly: "Zifen, I am also hoping to recover as soon as possible, so that I can spend more time with you."

At this time, Ye Zifen had just finished washing up. She walked to the bed with light steps, sat down gracefully, and said coquettishly: "Humph, you are the best at making people happy with your mouth."

Seeing this, Zhang Gaoyi quickly reached out and held Ye Zifen's slender and soft hand, and said with a sincere look in his eyes: "Every word I say comes from my heart!"

However, Ye Zifen gently broke free of his hand, smiled slightly, and said softly, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's eat quickly."

Hearing this, Zhang Gaoyi did not dare to delay. He immediately stood up, walked quickly to the table, and carefully brought the delicious dishes that had been carefully prepared in advance to the table one by one.

After a while, the two sat face to face at the table and began to enjoy this warm breakfast.

The whole room was unusually quiet, with only the occasional sound of chewing being heard.

After they finished eating in a flash, Zhang Gaoyi considerately filled a cup of steaming hot tea for Ye Zifen and handed it to her, saying gently: "Come, try this cup of hot tea to moisten your throat."
