Parents are busy farming

His words revealed his deep attachment to the past years.

Hearing this, Mu Hongzhou curled her lips and responded disapprovingly: "Okay, okay! Now that you are entangled in so many complicated affairs, how can you easily go back to the past? Even if you really want to go back, I'm afraid few people will let you go willingly, right? So, it's better for you to be a good princess!"

Ye Zifen was not angry when she heard this. Instead, she chuckled and said, "Well, well, since we can't go back, we can still enjoy the pleasure brought by this delicious food here!"

As she spoke, she picked up the chopsticks gracefully and gently reached for the piece of temptingly colored and tender fish on the plate.

The moment the fish entered her mouth, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly and a look of satisfaction appeared on her face.

Seeing this, Mu Hongzhou said no more. He immediately opened his mouth and started to eat like a whirlwind.

I saw him eating very fast, his mouth full of oil, and at the same time he kept making "hmmmm" sounds of praise, as if he was tasting the most delicious delicacy in the world.

Compared with others, Zhang Gaoyi appears particularly elegant.

He sat at the table, slowly picked up the food and put it into his mouth, chewing every bite of delicacy carefully, as if he was tasting a precious work of art.

Although his movements were gentle and slow, it was clear from his slightly narrowed eyes that were flashing with satisfaction that he was also immersed in the ultimate enjoyment brought by the food.

Aunt Qi and Aunt Feng, who were standing by, also began to enjoy the delicious food in front of them.

For a moment, the whole room was filled with the sound of slight chewing and occasional voices of sincere praise.

Ye Zifen smiled and watched everyone enjoying their meal. Her mood also became happier.

So she stood up, picked up the chopsticks, and considerately added some more dishes to everyone's bowl.

Mu Hongzhou was eating happily, his mouth full of greasy stains, but he still took the time to joke: "Oh my, if I could eat as much as I do today every day, it would be like a god's life!"

Hearing this, Zhang Gaoyi couldn't help but cough lightly.

Mu Hongzhou then said: "Don't be too greedy. It's not easy to have such a happy time as this in life."

After hearing this, Ye Zifen smiled and nodded in agreement.

Then, she slowly swept her gentle gaze over everyone present, and her heart was instantly filled with a deep warmth.

Just then, a breeze blew through the window, quietly slipped into the house, gently caressing people's faces, bringing a hint of refreshing coolness.

The breeze adds a bit of coziness and comfort to the already warm and harmonious atmosphere in the house.

Just like that, time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.

During this period, through the meticulous treatment and care of the imperial physicians, the emperor's health has gradually recovered and his mental state has improved a lot.

Therefore, the retired emperor specifically told Ye Zifen that she no longer needed to visit him every day as before, but only needed to come and check on him every few days.

The emperor made such arrangements because he had a plan in mind.

He was well aware of the current situation in the court. The prime minister had assigned more and more heavy government affairs to Ye Zifen, which made the responsibilities on Ye Zifen's shoulders increasingly heavier.

Nowadays, Ye Zifen and the prime minister handle almost the same amount of court affairs. Faced with such a busy situation, the emperor is naturally aware of Ye Zifen's hard work and fully understands her.

Ye Zifen has always been a sensible person, and she always remembers the care and consideration of the retired emperor.

Ever since the retired emperor gave her instructions, she followed his advice and went to pay her respects to the retired emperor every other day.

Even when she had a rare day off, she would always take time to visit the palace to fulfill her filial duty.

In addition, there is another major event in the palace that is being intensively prepared - that is the emperor's coronation ceremony is about to be held grandly!

This is an important ceremony that concerns the country, the people and the people of the world.

However, at this critical moment, a piece of news came out: it turned out that the former Crown Princess had been waiting for the decree to confer the title of Queen for a long time, and was so anxious that she had gone to see the Emperor several times to ask for an explanation.

Everyone speculated that the emperor might blame the incident on the emperor emeritus.

Coincidentally, one day when Ye Zifen went to pay a visit to the retired emperor as usual, she had just reached the gate of the retired emperor's palace when she saw from afar the former crown princess kneeling there alone, her figure looking somewhat lonely and desolate.

Of course, at this moment Ye Zifen did not feel the slightest sympathy for the woman in front of her.

To her, this was just an ordinary scene in the court struggle.

She thought to herself that sometimes, people really need to think more about themselves, especially women like them who live in the deep palace.

In order to win the heart of the superior man, each of them racked their brains and used all means.

However, when the dust settles, how many people will finally get what they want?

More often than not, they become stepping stones for others and abandoned pawns.

Just like the former Crown Princess who once enjoyed great glory, now she can only kneel straight on the cold ground.

When Ye Zifen slowly passed by her, she stopped for some reason as if possessed by a ghost.

He turned to look at the distraught former Crown Princess and asked abruptly, "You have been kneeling here all this time. Have you ever thought about your mother's family, the Song family? Have you ever thought about your children? Is it possible that in your heart, apart from the coveted position of empress and supreme power, there is nothing else worth worrying about?"

After saying that, Ye Zifen did not wait for the other party's response, and did not even linger on the other party's gaze for any longer. She walked straight into the magnificent palace.

Only the former Crown Princess was left behind, still kneeling unable to get up, all alone in the bleak cold wind, looking even more desolate and lonely.

The person who had been kneeling was trembling slightly, and suddenly he froze as if he had been struck by lightning.

She knelt there quietly, her heart filled with endless grievances and unspeakable humiliation. Ever since she came here and began to kneel, those painful emotions surged into her heart like a tide.
