Parents are busy farming

Back then, she and the emperor were a loving couple, holding hands and going through ups and downs together. At that time, the emperor was everything in her life, her only support and sustenance. However, times have changed, and the current emperor is reluctant to canonize her as queen. How can she not feel wronged?

What made her even more heartbroken was that her grandfather loyally assisted the emperor all his life, but in the end the emperor approved her grandfather's petition to retire and return home without hesitation. From then on, she lost the support of her powerful family and became isolated and helpless.

And her cute and well-behaved daughter should have been her greatest comfort in this difficult situation, but when she needed her daughter's company and support the most, she went to a distant place with her husband to take up a post. At this moment, she felt as if the whole world had left her.

The grievance in her heart was like a heavy mountain, pressing her so hard that she could hardly breathe. Just as she was immersed in these sorrows and unable to extricate herself, Princess Fuxia suddenly asked that question, which was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, exploding in her ears in an instant. At that moment, a deep fear surged in her heart, and the chill quickly spread from her spine.

The sunlight poured into the hall through the windows, illuminating the exquisite decorations and luxurious furnishings inside.

Ye Zifen took light steps and slowly stepped into this magnificent palace.

As soon as she came in, her eyes were attracted by the tall and majestic figure in front of the window - the emperor was standing there quietly, gazing at the scenery outside the window.

Ye Zifen approached silently, and her eyes inadvertently swept across the ground, just in time to catch a glimpse of the Crown Princess kneeling on the ground.

However, she seemed to ignore it, walked straight towards the emperor, and bowed gracefully.

The emperor heard the noise and slowly turned around. His deep eyes stared at Ye Zifen, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said with a hint of pampering: "Girl, you are always so kind and soft-hearted. Why bother with that stupid woman?"

Ye Zifen smiled slightly, shook her head gently, and responded softly: "Your Majesty, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to control her. I was just curious and asked what she really cared about. Who would have thought that this person would know how to reflect on her own mistakes."

After saying this, she followed the retired emperor's gaze and looked outside the palace.

At this moment, the Crown Princess kneeling on the ground still maintained the same posture as before, with her head lowered, appearing extremely docile.

Compared with his previous stubborn and unyielding appearance, he was like two completely different people.

The emperor stretched out his finger and gently tapped Ye Zifen in the air, his eyes full of admiration.

Upon seeing this, Ye Zifen walked forward with a sweet smile, carefully supported the emperor, and walked towards the couch step by step.

After the retired emperor sat down comfortably, she stood by his side respectfully.

The retired emperor's face, which had gone through the vicissitudes of life but was still kind, was always filled with a amiable smile.

He leaned forward slightly, lowered his voice, and said gently like a kind father: "You are such a clever little girl! I know my son's temper very well. At this critical juncture, it is indeed not appropriate to confer the title of Queen. I believe that at this moment, he is feeling guilty and uneasy about this matter. Giving her a higher position is of course a matter of course. You can stay calm and rational at this time and not confront her head-on. It is indeed a very far-sighted and intelligent move. Remember, never create powerful enemies for yourself for no reason again!"

Ye Zifen listened quietly to the words of the retired emperor, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, outlining a faint smile.

I saw her big, lively eyes blinking, as dazzling as the twinkling stars in the night sky.

Then, she gently opened her red lips and uttered a sweet voice as clear and melodious as a yellow oriole singing in a valley, and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, could it be that you have heard about my recent words and deeds in the court, so you care about me so much?"

However, this time the emperor did not reprimand or teach her a lesson as usual, but suddenly changed his attitude.

His eyes, which were originally full of love and generosity, suddenly became extremely sharp, as if they could see through all the secrets deep in people's hearts.

Just like that, the emperor stared at Ye Zifen in front of him without saying a word, and his sharp gaze seemed to penetrate her soul.

He slowly said, "Your ability is beyond doubt, and everyone has seen it. Moreover, your mind is also open and clear, and you only want to seek the welfare of the people. However, girl, you must know that as a minister, you do things that should be done by the king, and think about problems that even the king has never thought about. Which king will not be afraid of you? If you continue like this, what good end will you end up with?"

Ye Zifen raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. Her smart eyes stared at the emperor, and she asked softly: "Your Majesty, I wonder if you have ever been afraid of me? Do you think that my behavior is a threat to the supreme throne?"

The Emperor shook his head slightly, a genial smile also appeared on his face, and he said slowly: "Of course I understand you. With your character and ambition, I am afraid that in your heart, those so-called power and status are just like passing clouds and mist, and it is difficult for you to enter your eyes! The reason why you are willing to stay in this palace and hold power is probably more because you hope to use this power to seek welfare for the people of the world and bring hope and peace to more people!"

Hearing the words of the Emperor, Ye Zifen couldn't help but chuckle and nodded in response, "What the Emperor said is very true, but not entirely true. In fact, there is another reason, which is because the Emperor was very kind to me in the past. I have always remembered this friendship in my heart and have no way to repay it. Therefore, I want to do my best to contribute my humble efforts and live up to the Emperor's love and trust. At the same time, I don't want to be a cold and heartless person."

However, at this moment, the retired emperor suddenly turned serious and said earnestly: "Girl, it is a good thing that you value love and friendship too much, but sometimes, placing too much emphasis on emotions will bring you many troubles and even dangers. In life, it is inevitable to encounter various difficulties and obstacles. If you can't let go of some emotional burdens, I am afraid that you will have a hard time in the future! In my opinion, you'd better change your temperament a little bit!"
