Parents are busy farming

Inside the spacious and magnificent hall, the originally solemn and dignified atmosphere subtly changed in an instant.

The princess from overseas stood quietly in the center of the hall. When she heard the emperor's personal consent, an elusive expression flashed across her slightly lowered eyes.

That look seemed ecstatic, but also hinted at a hint of worry and uneasiness, making it difficult to discern his true state of mind.

The emperor sitting on the dragon throne was all smiles at this moment. His eyes were like a ray of scorching sunshine, always fixed on the beautiful princess, as if he was admiring a rare treasure in the world.

At the same time, the ministers standing on both sides began to whisper to each other.

Some ministers believed that this marriage was an important symbol of further friendly relations between the two countries; however, other ministers were worried and secretly wondered whether there was an unknown conspiracy behind this seemingly good thing.

In the crowd, Ye Zifen couldn't help but frown. She once again cast her eyes towards Zhang Gaoyi beside her and deliberately lowered her voice and said, "I always feel that this matter may not be as simple as it seems. This princess appeared so abruptly, and it is really unreasonable to go to such great lengths just for trade. I guess there must be some unknown inside story and purpose behind this."

Zhang Gaoyi's face became more solemn after hearing this. He nodded gently, agreeing with Ye Zifen's opinion, and responded: "Indeed, I hope we are just worrying too much. But then again, judging from her appearance and behavior, this so-called princess does give people a feeling that something is not right. As a princess of a country, she has enjoyed supreme respect and wealth since childhood, and her temperament should be different from others. But this woman in front of us... she doesn't look like a princess who grew up in luxury! It's a pity that we can't go to their country in person to find out, otherwise the truth will be revealed."

At this moment, the envoy from a foreign country stepped forward respectfully, bowed slightly, and said in a loud and respectful voice: "Your Highness, it is a great honor for our country to be favored and loved by your Majesty! I sincerely hope that you, the beautiful and noble princess, can become a shining bridge connecting the friendship between the two countries and add a touch of splendid brilliance to the deep friendship between the two countries."

The princess walked forward slowly with her graceful figure, then bowed gracefully, like a blooming flower swaying gently in the breeze.

She parted her red lips and whispered softly, "Thanks to your grace, I will serve you wholeheartedly and do my best to contribute my insignificant strength to maintaining the hard-earned peace between the two countries."

The emperor was delighted to hear this. He smiled, waved his hand and announced loudly: "That's great! From today on, this noble princess will temporarily stay in my palace."

Before he finished speaking, the foreign envoys present all knelt on the ground and kowtowed, shouting in unison: "Our emperor is wise and holy! Long live the emperor!"

For a moment, the entire palace was filled with thunderous cheers and praises, and the atmosphere was warm and solemn.

In this solemn and dignified court, all the ministers of Daxia were silent, standing like a group of quiet sculptures.

Their gazes intertwined, forming an intricate web of sight.

The emotions contained therein are as elusive as the undercurrent at the bottom of a deep lake.

Ye Zifen, on the other hand, turned her gaze to the princes again.

As expected, the emotions displayed by each of them were completely different.

The eldest prince was seen clenching his fists tightly. The veins on the back of his hands were clearly visible due to excessive force.

His brows were tightly furrowed, as if squeezed together by an invisible force, revealing his inner anxiety and uneasiness.

In contrast, the second prince had a look of indifference. His handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, as if what was happening before him had nothing to do with him at all. His indifference made people feel chilled.

Looking at the third prince again, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining an imperceptible smug smile.

Although the smile was subtle, it was particularly dazzling on his slightly cunning face, as if everything was under his control.

At the same time, the usually favored imperial concubine was no longer as jealous and resentful as before.

Perhaps after experiencing too many disappointments and setbacks, she has become completely disheartened and hopeless!

Her eyes, which were once lively and charming, have now become empty and lifeless, losing their former brilliance.

Although her makeup was still exquisite, her beautiful face was filled with despair and exhaustion, like a flower that bloomed and then quickly withered, leaving behind only a sense of beauty and desolation.

At this moment, Princess Anle, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "I never thought that my father would value a woman's beauty so much. It seems that things really change after becoming the emperor."

Hearing this, Ye Zifen couldn't help but turn her head to look at Princess Anle. There was a hint of inquiry and thought in her eyes, as if she wanted to capture more in-depth information from the princess's words.

In the carriage on the way home, Ye Zifen sat there quietly, staring at the darkness outside the window with a dazed look in her eyes.

At this moment, her mind was still constantly recalling everything that had just happened at the palace banquet, especially the princess from a foreign land. What kind of influence and changes would she bring to her country?

Ye Zifen frowned slightly, thinking secretly in her heart.

The arrival of this foreign princess was so sudden that no one was prepared.

As for a visitor from a strange country, who can easily guess her true intentions and the possible consequences?

The more Ye Zifen thought about it, the more unsure she felt. It was as if she was in a tangled mess. No matter how hard she tried to sort things out, she could not find a clear direction.

Gradually, these chaotic thoughts began to make her feel irritated and uneasy, so she couldn't help but sigh softly.

Just then, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the mansion gate.

After getting off the carriage, he walked into the mansion.

"Madam Qi, go and prepare some food. We have finally made it through the day!"

Ye Zifen spoke to Madam Qi while taking off the pearl hairpin on her head.

Nanny Qi quickly responded and went to prepare.
