Parents are busy farming

Today is the coronation ceremony of the new emperor, this is a grand event that the whole country is looking forward to!

As the dawn broke, Ye Zifen and Zhang Gaoyi got up hurriedly and carefully put on their court robes.

Of course, today Ye Zifen was wearing her own princess dress, which was embroidered with exquisite patterns, with gold and silver threads interwoven throughout, sparkling with dazzling light.

After everything was packed up, the two walked side by side towards the palace.

Sitting in the swaying carriage, Zhang Gaoyi frowned slightly and was the first to break the silence and said, "I heard that Princess Anle has also returned from abroad this time. When we get there later, I'm afraid she will deliberately make things difficult for you because of the seating arrangement and other things."

After saying that, he sighed softly, seeming to feel somewhat helpless about the impending trouble.

However, Ye Zifen on the side seemed to be unconcerned. She only raised the corner of her mouth and responded nonchalantly: "She has been with my cousin for such a long time. How many ups and downs have she experienced? If her temper is still as willful and capricious as before, and she quarrels and fights over trivial matters, then it would be better for her to divorce my cousin. At the same time, my cousin can be free!"

Having said that, she winked at Zhang Gaoyi mischievously, her eyes full of confidence and composure.

Zhang Gaoyi couldn't help but be amused when he heard this. He laughed and said jokingly, "Oh, you look so confident. I guess you are not worried at all about meeting Princess Anle later!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zifen raised her eyebrows and immediately asked back, "Why should I be afraid? Don't forget, I am the eldest princess, and she is just an ordinary princess. In terms of status, I should be more noble. What's more, the title of the eldest princess was conferred on me by her father himself. If she really wants to cause trouble, she can go find the instigator and argue with him. What does it have to do with me?"

After saying this, she raised her head and looked proudly at the scenery receding outside the car window, as if she had put all the possible unpleasantness behind her.

At this time, the palace was already a busy scene.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites took great pains and made careful preparations for this coronation ceremony for a long time.

From the initial discussion with the Imperial Observatory to finalize the auspicious date for the enthronement, every detail was carefully considered.

Not only do they have to carefully arrange the locations of each link in the palace, but they also have to work closely with the Ministry of War to properly arrange the deployment of personnel in various places and protect the emperor's safety.

It is no exaggeration to say that during this period, the Ministry of Rites undoubtedly became the busiest department in the entire court.

In addition to these tedious affairs, the Ministry of Rites is also responsible for preparing all kinds of items necessary for the enthronement ceremony.

The dragon robe of the emperor and the phoenix robe of the empress alone took countless skilled craftsmen’s efforts. Each piece of gorgeous clothing was made of the finest silk, inlaid with countless precious jewels and jades, and every stitch and thread embodied the exquisite skills of the craftsmen.

In addition, there are the emperor's crown and the queen's phoenix crown, which are said to be equally magnificent and breathtaking.

Since the imperial decree to confer the title of empress was issued only a few days ago, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were extremely busy.

All kinds of memorials came in like snowflakes, piling up on Ye Zifen and the prime minister's desks.

All the memorials were about spending money, so they were sent directly to the Ministry of Revenue, where another round of verbal battle ensued.

Of course, there are still some gains.

They worked day and night to ensure that the coronation ceremony would go smoothly and without any mistakes.

Even Zhang Gaoyi, who had just recovered from an illness, was not spared.

The Ministry of War specially assigned him to take on the important duties of a court official and attendant.

Although his body has not fully recovered, Zhang Gaoyi is fully aware of the significance of this mission and dares not slack off in the slightest.

He pulled himself together, threw himself into his work, and strived to do it to perfection.

This is also the reason why he and Ye Zifen entered the palace so early.

When the first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone on the earth, Ye Zifen and Zhang Gaoyi finally arrived at the magnificent and majestic imperial palace.

At this moment, the entire palace was in order. The palace maids were moving lightly between the palaces with trays in their hands, while the eunuchs stood respectfully at their respective posts, performing their duties.

As soon as Zhang Gaoyi entered the palace, he parted ways with Ye Zifen.

As the chief dispatcher of the guards for the coronation ceremony, he was responsible for ensuring the safety of the imperial palace, so he needed to travel non-stop to every corner for a careful inspection.

Although Ye Zifen entered the palace earlier, she did not rush straight to the gathering place of royal family members like other court officials. Instead, she walked towards the bedroom of the retired emperor as she was familiar with the place as usual.

At this time, the emperor had just woken up from his sleep and was being helped by palace maids to wash and change clothes.

As he had not yet had breakfast, he seemed a little lazy.

At this moment, there was a sound of communication at the door, and then Ye Zifen's pretty figure appeared in front of the emperor.

When the emperor saw Ye Zifen, a kind smile immediately appeared on his face, and he asked, "How come you have time to come visit me on such an important day?"

Ye Zifen smiled and replied softly, "Your Majesty, this is not because of anything else, it's just that my legs have become accustomed to it. Every time I enter the palace, I unconsciously walk towards you."

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help feeling warm and relieved.

Now, the only one who could come to visit him so frequently and sincerely was this well-behaved and clever girl.

"Since you are here, please accompany me for breakfast. I have a lot of work to do today, but don't be afraid, I have rich experience in these matters!"

As the emperor spoke, he took Ye Zifen's hand and motioned for her to sit down at the table.

At this moment, a clever little eunuch came trotting over with exquisite bowls and chopsticks, and placed them carefully on the table.

This series of movements was as smooth and natural as flowing water, as if he was already familiar with it.

When they said they were going to have breakfast, the two of them sat down at the table facing each other in silence.

They just quietly picked up the chopsticks, picked up the delicious food on the table, put it in their mouths and started chewing.

The whole room was silent. Apart from the occasional clatter of cutlery, there was no other sound.

No one mentioned what happened today, and no one expressed even a word of opinion or comment on it.

Before long, Ye Zifen was full.

However, before she had the chance to stay even a moment longer, the emperor mercilessly ordered her to leave.
