Parents are busy farming

Ye Zifen lowered her head slightly, frowned slightly, and seemed to be thinking about how to answer.

Time seemed to stand still, and the air around them became heavy.

Finally, after a short but long silence, she slowly raised her head, cast her eyes towards Zhang Gaoyi, and asked softly, "What do you think about this question?"

However, she did not give her answer directly, but threw the question back to the other party.

When Zhang Gaoyi heard Ye Zifen's question, his heart tightened.

He had expected to get a clear answer from her, but now it seemed that things were much more complicated than he had imagined.

He wondered to himself, is it true, as his good friend Wang Chuanxing had guessed before, that there was something deep in Zifen's heart that made her feel afraid?

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, trying to calm his flustered mood, then looked at Ye Zifen with an extremely firm gaze and said sincerely: "Regarding the matter of children, it doesn't matter to me whether there is one or not. I am already satisfied to spend my life with you. As for the Zhang family, you don't have to worry at all. I will handle all the problems properly. Of course, the most important thing is your idea. As long as it is what you sincerely want, I will respect and fully support it no matter what."

Ye Zifen listened quietly to Zhang Gaoyi's affectionate words, and a trace of emotion flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Then, she nodded slightly to show her approval, but did not explain much. She just said lightly: "Then let everything take its course! I will neither force it nor deliberately avoid it."

Zhang Gaoyi stared at the woman in front of him, his eyes full of understanding and tolerance.

He knew very well that at this moment, this was the only response Ye Zifen could give.

Although the answer is not so clear, he is willing to wait patiently and believes that everything will become clear as time goes by.

So he nodded without hesitation and said with a smile: "Okay, no matter what decision you make in the end, I will always stand by your side and give you the greatest support and encouragement."

Ye Zifen nodded slightly to show her agreement, and then said softly: "Rest early, you have worked really hard today."

Zhang Gaoyi also nodded, but neither of them could sleep well that night and they just pretended to be asleep.

When dawn broke, Ye Zifen hurriedly handed over all the letters in her hands to a special person, and asked him to send them as soon as possible.

In the court, the emperor has not yet arrived, and the focus of the discussion among the court officials today is the foreign princess who was welcomed into the palace yesterday.

One of the ministers looked worried and said, "This foreign princess has an unknown origin. I'm afraid she will cause a lot of trouble!"

However, before he finished speaking, another minister snorted coldly and retorted: "That may not be the case. Who knows, maybe this princess can promote friendly diplomatic relations between our dynasty and foreign lands!"

For a moment, everyone expressed their opinions and argued endlessly.

Ye Zifen just listened for a moment and did not join in the heated debate. Naturally, the prime minister did the same.

At this time, someone in the crowd murmured in a low voice: "As for whether this princess is a blessing or a curse, it is still difficult to determine."

Then, another person raised his voice and shouted, "Don't make random guesses. Just wait for the emperor's judgment."

At this moment, Ye Zifen was thinking secretly about this matter. She thought that the Prime Minister must hold the same view as her and was not optimistic about it.

"This matter still needs long-term consideration, and we must not act rashly!" An old minister with white hair and high moral character spoke slowly.

I saw him gently stroking the long gray beard on his chin with his right hand, with a serious and solemn expression.

Those deep and worried eyes stared straight ahead, as if seeing the distant future through the scene in front of them.

His brows were tightly furrowed, as if this matter concerned the life and death of the entire country, and any carelessness would bring irreversible consequences.

"But Your Majesty, now that the princess has entered the palace, what if..." Someone nearby interrupted cautiously, but suddenly stopped talking halfway through, as if he had thought of something terrible.

The man looked panicked, and a layer of fine beads of sweat had unknowingly seeped out of his forehead, like the crystal clear dewdrops on the lotus leaves in the early morning.

His hands, which should have been steady and strong, unconsciously grasped the corners of his clothes, causing the fabric to wrinkle.

At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps came from far away, and the court, which was originally noisy, suddenly became silent.

Everyone knelt on the ground, their heads lowered almost to the ground, not daring to even breathe.

It turned out that it was the emperor who had arrived. The face of this supreme ruler of the world was as gloomy as water today. He was wearing a gorgeous dragon robe. The lifelike golden dragon embroidered on it seemed to sense the mood of its master and was emitting a terrifying majesty.

The morning light had just fallen on the court, giving this solemn and majestic palace a faint golden glow.

However, at this moment, the atmosphere in the court was extremely solemn and depressing, as if a heavy rock was pressing on everyone's heart, making it hard to breathe.

After the emperor sat firmly on the dragon throne, the morning court officially began.

However, to everyone's surprise, the first thing they did after the court session was that several censors stood up at the same time.

Their faces were solemn, and they shouted in unison with righteous words: "Your Majesty, the princess from another region is a hidden danger in the palace! We beg Your Majesty to release her immediately, to prevent any hidden conspiracy!"

These powerful words were like a thunderclap, resounding in the empty and silent court, and the echoes continued to echo.

When the emperor, who was sitting on the high throne, heard this, his expression instantly became uglier.

His thick sword-like eyebrows were tightly furrowed, forming a deep "川" character.

A pair of piercing eyes flashed with anger and majesty at this moment, and his sharp gaze like an eagle coldly swept over the ministers kneeling below.

His tightly pursed lips revealed his inner dissatisfaction and anger, which made people feel fearful.

Then, the emperor calmly winked at Eunuch Huang who was standing beside him.

Eunuch Huang nodded in understanding and then walked out of the crowd steadily.

He first bowed slightly to the emperor respectfully, then stood up, cleared his throat, and shouted in a high and resonant voice: "The emperor has decreed that the princess from the foreign land has been canonized as the beautiful concubine, and this decree has been specially passed on to the harem!"
