Parents are busy farming

This sudden announcement was like a thunderclap, exploding in the originally solemn and quiet court.

For a moment, there was an uproar in the court.

After hearing this, the imperial censors present could not help but look at each other, and each of their faces was filled with shock and confusion.

One of the censors, who was young and strong and full of righteousness, took the lead and stepped forward, clasped his hands together and bowed to the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed! That foreigner came to our country from afar, and we know nothing about her background, let alone her true thoughts. How can we easily take her into the harem? This may bring many hidden dangers to our great dynasty. Please consider it carefully!"

Before he finished speaking, another slightly older imperial censor also echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty! I hope you can think twice before acting! You must not ignore the stability of our dynasty because of a momentary impulse!"

However, in the face of the ministers' advice, the emperor's face darkened, and he snorted coldly and said, "I have made up my mind, no need to say more! This matter is settled!"

After saying this, he no longer paid attention to the ministers and sat on the dragon throne.

In an instant, the entire court seemed to be shrouded by an invisible pressure and fell into deathly silence.

Everyone lowered their heads and dared not speak, but everyone's heart was filled with thoughts...

Just as the front was quiet, the prime minister, who was sitting on a high seat, suddenly moved his hand behind his back without any warning.

This extremely subtle movement happened to fall into the eyes of Ye Zifen who was standing nearby.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she was obviously quite surprised.

Ye Zifen's gaze was as if attracted by a magnet, firmly locked on the slightly trembling hand, and her heart suddenly rose to her throat.

Countless thoughts surged in her mind like a tide, and all kinds of speculations came one after another.

At this moment, the air around seemed to have condensed into a solid, and even time seemed to have stopped flowing.

Ye Zifen's eyes kept flickering, the light in them changing constantly, and her thoughts were like a ball of tangled and messy silk threads entangled with each other.

Because she knew very well that behind such a trivial action, there might be a shocking idea hidden!

However, what is surprising is that none of the many ministers in the court noticed this unusual situation. They were still immersed in their own thoughts and had no idea that a storm was about to come.

Ye Zifen took a deep breath and tried her best to calm her restless heart.

After a hard struggle, she finally plucked up the courage to stand up and respectfully bowed to the emperor.

Then he said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Your Majesty, I believe that the censors have the responsibility to supervise all officials, and what they said this time is not unreasonable. Moreover, a woman who has just entered the palace can be granted the title of concubine just by relying on her outstanding appearance. This is really not in line with the rules of the palace!"

As Ye Zifen's clear and pleasant voice rang out, the long-lasting silence was finally broken.

At this moment, the entire court fell silent, and all the officials' eyes were focused on her petite and straight figure as if attracted by a magnet.

These gazes seemed to have the power to penetrate everything, wanting to see through her entire body from the inside out.

Some of them had obvious surprise in their eyes, with their mouths slightly open, as if they couldn't believe what was happening before their eyes; others frowned, with deep confusion in their eyes, trying to think about the deeper meaning behind her actions; however, there were also a few pairs of eyes flashing with a hint of approval, and they nodded slightly, indicating that they had a positive attitude towards her behavior.

But what was completely different from everyone else was that the emperor who was sitting high above had a terribly gloomy expression on his face, and his eyes, which were originally deep and sharp, were now burning with rage.

His tightly pursed lips and clenched fists all showed his extreme displeasure. It was no exaggeration to say that the emperor's anger had reached its peak at this moment.

However, Ye Zifen seemed to be completely unconcerned about the looks and comments of others. She still said frankly without hesitation: "Although the concubines in the harem do not have a very close direct connection with the previous dynasty, they represent the image and face of the entire royal family, and are even more related to the evaluation of the emperor in the eyes of the people of the world! In this case, you must not act so recklessly and rashly."

The prince next to Ye Zifen has already nodded, which shows that he completely agrees with what Ye Zifen said.

Then Ye Zifen said, "You know, the concubines living deep in the harem, their every move, every breath, are almost under the focus of everyone's attention. From their carefully dressed makeup to their gorgeous and elegant clothes, to their every word and action, every frown and smile, they are all showing the world the style and bearing that a royal family should have. If someone behaves inappropriately or impolitely, then there will definitely be rumors and different opinions among the people."

"By then, the people's original respect for the royal family will be greatly reduced, and the emperor's reputation will inevitably be damaged by these negative remarks. What I said is not just some sensational words, but real and potential serious impacts!"

This time, several princes also stood up and said "yes".

Ye Zifen said: "Your Majesty, please think about it carefully. If the common people talk about the various shortcomings and mistakes of the concubines in their idle chats after dinner, then how much damage will it cause to your reputation! The royal family has always been known for its dignity and majesty, so how can we tolerate it being trampled on so easily? So, no matter what, we must never allow such a thing to happen. We must strictly restrain and regulate their behavior. Otherwise, once a situation that is really difficult to deal with really occurs, I am afraid it will be too late to regret it!"

It is said that the place where the foreign woman was was more than a thousand miles away from Daxia, and the distance between the two was long and remote.

This woman had never known anything about the distant and mysterious country of Daxia, let alone had the slightest understanding of it.

According to common sense, the emperor should not allow such a completely strange woman to stay by his side.
