Parents are busy farming

After all, she came from a distant foreign country, where the customs and culture are very different from ours. Just the language communication is an unbridgeable gap, and communication between each other is difficult. Not to mention understanding the etiquette of Daxia, she is like a blind man, knowing nothing about the complicated and diverse etiquette and rituals in the palace.

However, who could have thought that the emperor would be so obsessed with her unique exotic style! He completely ignored the fierce opposition and earnest persuasion of the civil and military officials in the court, and was determined to keep this foreign woman by his side. Although the emperor really loved this woman from the bottom of his heart, as ministers, seeing this situation, even if they had many dissatisfactions and complaints in their hearts, they did not dare to speak out easily.

However, what is most difficult for everyone to accept is that the position this woman was awarded is so high! This is really unreasonable!

Logically speaking, a foreign woman who had just arrived here, no matter how favored she was, would not be granted such a respected status all of a sudden, right? This was really unbelievable!

At this moment, the atmosphere in the court was extremely solemn. Royal family members, imperial censors and even the prime minister stepped forward one after another.

Each of them had a solemn expression, their eyes fixed firmly on the emperor sitting on the dragon throne, whose face was as gloomy as water and brows were tightly furrowed.

The Imperial Censor shouted in a righteous voice: "Your Majesty, you must not jump to such a rash conclusion on this matter!"

Then, other members of the royal family echoed in unison: "Your Majesty, please think twice before you act!"

The emperor's sharp eyes like an eagle glanced coldly at the group of ministers who were arguing in front of him, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes that was difficult to conceal.

However, faced with the tremendous pressure from everyone, even though he was the emperor, he had no choice but to compromise and give in.

The emperor said stiffly, "Forget it! Then I'll do as you say and lower her position."

Eunuch Huang immediately nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, the court officials, who had been on edge, breathed a sigh of relief and slowly returned to their own positions.

But who would have thought that just when the tense atmosphere in the court had just eased, the emperor suddenly spoke again, whether because he still had resentment about the previous incident or had already planned it, "My dear ministers, General Zhenbei has repeatedly petitioned to return to Beijing to recuperate in recent years. He is getting older now, and has been guarding the border for many years, which is really hard. After careful consideration, I have decided to send Duke Chongguo to take over his position as General Zhenbei."

This sudden decision was like a thunderclap in the court, shocking everyone present.

The Prime Minister, in particular, subconsciously turned his head and took a deep look at Ye Zifen behind him.

At this moment, Ye Zifen's pretty face was filled with an expression of surprise that was difficult to conceal.

Her beautiful eyes were wide open like two sparkling gems, and her mouth was slightly open, forming a small O shape. She looked as if she had seen the most unbelievable thing in the world.

Obviously, she felt unprecedented shock and astonishment at what was happening before her eyes, and had never expected such a situation to occur.

For a moment, the entire court fell into deathly silence, so quiet that one could even hear the crisp sound of an embroidery needle as thin as a hair falling to the ground.

Everyone present, no matter whether they were high-ranking ministers or lowly servants, all held their breath, not daring to breathe, for fear that they would make the slightest noise and break the suffocating silence.

Everyone had different thoughts, but they all secretly wondered what the deep meaning behind the emperor's important decision was.

The Prime Minister, who was the head of all officials, frowned at this moment. A deep "川"-shaped line formed between his eyebrows due to excessive force. It looked as if it was carefully carved by a knife.

He stood there motionless, silently thinking about the series of changes in the situation that this incident might cause.

His eyes, as deep as the sea and unfathomable, revealed an emotional fluctuation that was difficult for others to understand, and countless thoughts in his mind were spinning as fast as lightning.

At the same time, other court officials looked at each other, exchanging glances full of confusion and worry.

None of them dared to speak rashly, but they used their eyes to silently communicate their inner anxiety and fear.

After all, at such a sensitive time, the slightest carelessness could lead to trouble.

However, in this silence, someone suddenly stepped forward.

This person was none other than Zhang Gaoyi. He held his head high and chest puffed out, his posture as straight as a pine tree, and his whole body exuded an unwavering aura.

He clasped his hands together, bowed respectfully to the emperor, and said loudly: "I obey your order!"

The voice was as loud as a huge bell, and it echoed for a long time in this unusually quiet court.

At this moment, Ye Zifen had calmed down her expression. She lowered her head slightly, her eyes slightly closed, and it was hard to guess what she was thinking.

The emperor's complexion also improved slightly. The corners of his originally tense mouth relaxed a little, and his sharp eyes slowly swept over everyone present.

Finally, the emperor's gaze fixed on Ye Zifen, but after staring for a long time, he failed to get the answer he expected.

After a short pause, the emperor began to speak: "Now, many people from Daxia have migrated to the vast grassland. However, as far as I know, their living conditions there are not satisfactory. Therefore, it is urgent to send an official with both ability and experience to the place to effectively improve the living conditions of these people. This official must not only be proficient in government affairs, but also have the ability and wisdom to deal with various livelihood issues. I wonder if there is anyone among you who is suitable for this important task?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the court fell into dead silence.

The ministers looked at each other, lowered their heads and remained silent.

For a moment, the only sound in the entire hall was heavy breathing, and the atmosphere seemed particularly solemn.
