Chapter 1698 Princess Anle

After a long time, the emperor finally nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Seeing this, Eunuch Huang, who was standing nearby, finally relaxed a little.

You know, things have changed dramatically since the emperor ascended the throne.

Especially after Princess Fuxia was canonized as the eldest princess and began to participate in state affairs, the emperor was no longer as gentle as before.

Today's emperor often has a frown on his face, and his expression is as gloomy as a dark cloud, which makes people afraid to approach him.

It is not difficult to see from these subtle details that the emperor's heart is full of anxiety and entanglement.

Speaking of this eldest princess, her extraordinary intelligence, courage and perseverance were fully displayed in the court.

Every decision she made accurately hit the crux of the problem and successfully resolved many difficult problems.

However, facing such an outstanding eldest princess, the emperor has indescribable complex emotions.

On the one hand, he had to admit that the eldest princess did have extraordinary talents; on the other hand, this feeling of being forced to admit it made him feel helpless and unwilling.

This emotion appeared and disappeared in the emperor's eyes from time to time. It might not be easy for others to notice, but Eunuch Huang, who served closely, knew it very well.

At this time, the prime minister publicly named the eldest princess to handle those memorials.

This is undoubtedly a high recognition of the eldest princess's abilities.

Looking at the thick pile of memorials, it was like a series of extremely heavy shackles, weighing heavily on the emperor's heart.

After the emperor heard this, his unhappiness became even stronger.

I saw him clenching his fists tightly, and due to excessive force, his knuckles even turned pale and colorless due to lack of blood.

The whole palace was filled with a suffocating and oppressive atmosphere, as if it had suddenly fallen into a cold winter with snow and ice. Eunuch Huang took a deep breath and adjusted his nervous mood a little, then he said to the emperor in the gentlest and most tactful tone possible: "Your Majesty, our Princess Anle is really a blessed person! Not to mention that she has a father like you who dotes on her so much, just the prince consort is also a rare young talent. In addition, the prince consort and the Princess of Fuxia have a close relationship like cousins, so naturally, the Princess of Fuxia will be closer to you, Your Majesty."

When Eunuch Huang spoke, his voice was low but respectful.

His eyes were always lowered, and he did not dare to look directly at the emperor. He would only occasionally quickly lift his eyelids and secretly observe the changes in the emperor's expression with the corner of his eyes.

However, the emperor narrowed his eyes slightly at this moment, making it impossible for others to guess the slightest joy, anger, sorrow or happiness from his expression.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire palace became extremely solemn, as if even the surrounding air had solidified.

At this moment, Eunuch Huang was on pins and needles. He felt sweat beginning to seep out of his palms uncontrollably and his heart was already in his throat.

Because he really couldn't guess how the emperor would respond to these remarks. After all, the situation in the palace has always been turbulent, unpredictable and difficult to grasp!

Eunuch Huang sighed inwardly, but still had a kind smile on his face. He asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, have you issued an order to allow Princess Anle to return to the palace?"

The emperor shook his head without hesitation and answered firmly, "Anle is already married. As a wife, she should stay by her husband's side. Besides, the husband's talent is known to everyone, so he should make the final decision on everything. Besides, Anle's personality is incompatible with the capital. If she follows her husband to work in other places, she can live a freer life without being bound by so many red tape and intrigues."

Hearing the emperor's words, Eunuch Huang bowed slightly to show his respect, then lowered his voice and said softly: "Your Majesty's love for the princess is really well-intentioned!"

The emperor's gaze became increasingly profound, as if he was looking through the palace walls and into the distant horizon.

After a while, he slowly spoke: "Of course, I hope that my precious daughter can live a happy and fulfilling life. Although the capital city seems to be prosperous and bustling on the surface, the rules and etiquette are staggering, and the human heart is unfathomable and complicated. If a child like Anle, who is pure-minded and innocent, stays in the capital, I am afraid she will only run into obstacles everywhere and add to her troubles. On the contrary, if she goes out to explore the world, perhaps she can be free from some unnecessary constraints and troubles."

Eunuch Huang nodded repeatedly and agreed, "The princess is blessed with great fortune and great blessings. I believe that one day she will be able to understand the good intentions of your majesty."

However, the emperor just sighed softly and said helplessly: "I don't really expect her to fully understand my feelings. As long as she lives happily and worry-free outside, I will be relieved."

After saying this, the emperor cast his gaze into the distance again, as if he was worried about his beloved daughter who had married far away...

At this moment, Ye Zifen had just stepped into the vermilion gate of the Princess's Mansion. A breeze blew gently, making her clothes flutter.

I saw her walking towards the inner courtyard with graceful steps.

At this time, Aunt Qi, who had been waiting for her to return, hurried over to greet her. After bowing respectfully, she whispered to Aunt Qi, "Your Highness, the caravan sent a message that the merchant ship that went out to sea has returned to the port safely! It is said that they brought back a lot of supplies this time, most of which seem to be food, but in addition, they also brought back a lot of novel and interesting things. Now they are waiting for your instructions. I would like to ask how you plan to deal with this batch of goods?"

As she spoke, Nanny Qi took out a sealed letter from her sleeve and handed it to Ye Zifen with both hands.

Ye Zifen smiled slightly, stretched out her jade hand and took the letter with an elegant and generous gesture.

She nodded slightly to signal Madam Qi to leave, and then she continued walking forward.

The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves and fell on her body, as if she was covered with a layer of golden gauze, making her graceful figure even more charming.

As Ye Zifen walked, she opened the envelope, took out the letter and read it carefully.

When she saw the contents of the letter, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.
