Chapter 1708 Changes Now

Wang Chuanxing raised his lips slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "Girl, you are wearing such an outfit today, which really surprises me."

Ye Zifen smiled sweetly, opened her red lips and uttered something that sounded like an official statement from the palace: "Thanks to the Emperor's grace!"

The sound was clear and pleasant, as beautiful as the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley.

When Wang Chuanxing heard this, his heart softened and a smile of pity appeared on his face.

He slowly said, "I heard that what you are doing now is actually the responsibility of the Prime Minister. Everyone outside respectfully calls you 'Little Prime Minister'."

His words showed recognition of her abilities, but also hinted at some worry.

Ye Zifen smiled slightly and responded calmly, "What my cousin said is true. I do often read memorials with the prime minister, but that doesn't mean I have much power. I'm sure my cousin has heard some of the rumors about my current position in the court."

When she said this, her eyes became deep, and she seemed to be mocking herself.

Wang Chuanxing frowned slightly, his eyes full of concern, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Wu, the affairs of the court are complicated and unpredictable. As a woman, you are in such a turbulent place, and you must encounter many difficulties and obstacles."

He paused, then continued, "I'm really worried that you'll get hurt or get into trouble that you can't get out of."

However, Ye Zifen shook her head gently, her expression as firm as a rock.

She met Wang Chuanxing's gaze and answered solemnly, "Cousin, please don't worry about this. Since I have chosen to embark on this path, I am naturally aware of the difficulties and hardships involved. But please believe that I will be careful in what I say and do, and take every step carefully to protect myself."

His words were so sincere and resolute that one could not help but be moved.

Wang Chuanxing let out a long sigh, as if his heart was weighed down by thousands of words, so heavy that he could hardly breathe.

He looked at Ye Zifen, his eyes full of worry and concern, his lips slightly parted, as if he wanted to confide something, but in the end it only turned into a helpless whisper: "How can I not worry..."

Ye Zifen keenly caught Wang Chuanxing's worries. Her beautiful and intelligent eyes turned slightly, and she gently comforted him, "Don't worry too much, cousin. I have always been cautious and know my limits. Besides, the Prime Minister is always there to give me advice, so there won't be any big mistakes. Besides, I have carefully read the memorials you submitted before! I know a little about the pros and cons, the tactics and strategies involved."

After hearing this, Wang Chuanxing felt a little relieved, but he couldn't help but take two steps forward, approaching Ye Zifen, and said in an almost pleading tone: "Even so, cousin, you have to plan more for yourself, and never let people hate you because of a momentary negligence. The officialdom is like a battlefield, and people's hearts are unpredictable. If you are not careful, you may fall into a situation from which there is no return."

Ye Zifen smiled slightly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint but extremely confident smile.

She opened her red lips and said slowly, "Don't worry, cousin. How many people who can serve in the court are stupid and slow? What I do now is to comply with the wishes of the Supreme Emperor and the current emperor. Doing this is not only to fulfill the emperor's orders, but also the best protection for myself. It's just a pity that Zhang Gaoyi has to accompany me to bear these prejudices and pressures from the outside world."

Wang Chuanxing stared quietly at Ye Zifen in front of him, his eyes deep and focused, as if he wanted to engrave her face deeply into his heart.

As time passed, the air around seemed to freeze.

After a long time, he slowly spoke, his voice low and firm: "There is nothing we can do about it. Since he wants to marry you, he must have the determination and courage to share the joys and sorrows with you. Otherwise, how can he be worthy of such an outstanding woman like my cousin?"

Ye Zifen didn't seem to want to delve into such a serious topic. She smiled and said softly, "Cousin, I have carefully read the memorials you wrote and the various comments given to you by your superiors. I have to say that you are really outstanding in the officialdom! As long as you continue to work hard and make some remarkable achievements, you will probably be promoted soon and transferred to other places to show your talents."

After hearing this, Wang Chuanxing shook his head gently and said slowly: "Cousin, the current situation of the Wang family cannot be easily reversed by me being a small official. It all depends on the future prospects of Chuanshan and the future development trend of Chuanren."

As he said this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zifen gently raised her hand, brushed her sleeves gracefully, and responded with a smile: "It is really rare for my cousin to have such an open-minded state of mind."

At this time, Wang Chuanxing looked into the distance, with a solemn look in his eyes.

After a moment of silence, he continued, "As the current emperor's son-in-law, I naturally cannot hold an important position. But fortunately, now I can still seek some benefits for the common people and do some practical things here. For me, this is satisfying."

Seeing this, Ye Zifen walked slowly to Wang Chuanxing's side and said softly in a low voice, "My cousin cares about the common people. I believe that he will achieve great things in the future."

Wang Chuanxing suddenly broke the silence and asked, "I wonder how Lord Su is doing in the south now? I'm afraid he won't be able to come back this time?"

Ye Zifen nodded slightly and replied in agreement: "In my opinion, he will not come back this time. Although his achievements over there are not bad, they are still slightly inferior to yours. At that time, the place where he is needs to consider the overall situation and development trend, while you only need to focus on the affairs in your own area."

Wang Chuanxing thought for a moment and responded, "If that's the case, I think he will be called back to the capital to take up a post in a few years!"

Ye Zifen pondered for a moment before slowly answering, "Well... before the Minister of Rites leaves his post, Lord Su must be transferred to the capital. After all, with his talent and strength, the court will naturally not let such a talent go easily."

Wang Chuanxing nodded his head repeatedly and said with emotion: "Indeed, Lord Su is very capable. After going to the south, I believe he will be able to achieve great things."
