Parents are busy farming

A title is just an empty name and cannot represent one's real strength and status.

There were many inquiring looks at Ye Zifen, but she didn't take them to heart.

But such a strong emotion appeared that Ye Zifen couldn't ignore it.

She could only turn her head and look to the right. Not far from her, there was a little girl sitting there, but she looked a little indifferent and a little spoiled.

Ye Zifen was not familiar with such royal relatives, and of course she did not have too much effort to get to know them.

She had a lot of things to do and was not interested in these annoying and irritating secret struggles.

Her principle is always that a clear plan is the key to success in all calculations.

However, the little girl seemed to have a special interest in Ye Zifen.

Her eyes swept over Ye Zifen from time to time, with a complicated emotion.

Although Ye Zifen didn't want to get involved in such intrigue, she also understood that she had now become the focus of everyone's attention, and it would be impossible to completely avoid these disputes.

In this palace full of struggles for power and interests, everyone has his or her own goals and means.

And Ye Zifen, as an outsider who suddenly broke into this world, would inevitably arouse the vigilance and temptation of various forces.

She must keep a clear head and deal with various challenges and crises.

But she didn't understand why the other party was hostile to her.

After all, she has been keeping a low profile since coming to the capital, has not offended anyone, and has not done anything eye-catching. Why is the other party so dissatisfied with her?

She turned her head slightly and her eyes fell on the girl again, but she had already started to pay attention in her heart.

As a little girl, her mind was not that deep, and after a while, she discovered the reason.

It turned out that all this was because of her older cousin Wang Chuanxing.

After realizing this, she could only shake her head helplessly.

This little girl does have some vision, but unfortunately her older cousin may not like her.

My cousin is the eldest son and grandson of the Wang family. Now he has entered the official career. His future wife will become the clan leader of the Wang family, but this spoiled little girl is obviously unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility of a clan leader.

By then, I'm afraid my second cousin's wife will have a harder time.

Once the Wang family falls into chaos, the consequences will be disastrous.

At this time, Ye Zifen looked elsewhere, and several princes who had already arrived also came over and started talking to each other.

Their words seemed light-hearted, but in fact they were a test.

Each tries to understand the other's attitudes and intentions to determine his or her own position in the competition.

At this moment, when the princes were chatting, the concubines from the harem began to come in one after another.

The concubines who had princes looked particularly radiant at this moment because they were bringing their families to pay their respects.

Ye Zifen also stood up and saluted from time to time, following everyone else.

I secretly felt that this place really tests one's wisdom and adaptability. It is best to talk less, otherwise you might offend others accidentally.

After the concubines spoke, she sat back in her seat, looking straight ahead, but listening attentively to the conversations and words of the people around her.

Judging from what we can see now, there is already a clear distinction between the closeness and distance between these ministers and the princes.

The capital city is a big melting pot, binding everyone together through marriage. No one can escape.

Zhang Gaoyi also holds the same idea as her. He has always adhered to his duties as a subject, only doing his own job and never getting involved in other matters.

In fact, he was originally a general who only worked for the common people and was not good at handling the complicated relationships in the court.

Just now, several princes wanted to come over to greet him, but they were frightened by the murderous aura he brought back from the battlefield and did not dare to step forward easily.

Another half cup of tea passed before all the concubines in the harem finally arrived. Then a voice came from outside the door: "The Emperor has arrived, and the Empress has arrived!"

Ye Zifen quickly stood up along with everyone else and shouted respectfully, "Welcome to the Emperor, welcome to the Empress!"

It was not until a command "Stand up" was heard from above that Ye Zifen stood up with everyone else.

Today is the day when the army returns triumphantly, and there is a sound of celebration in the court.

The emperor sat high on the dragon throne, his face filled with joy: "Today is the day our army returns victorious, my dear ministers, there is no need to be restrained, you can all take a seat."

Ye Zifen knelt on the ground with all the ministers to express their gratitude before they stood up and took their seats.

Soon, the palace maids began to place delicious food on each table.

Each dish is meticulously crafted and beautifully presented.

But Ye Zifen remembered what Madam Qi once said: "The food for the banquet in the palace is all prepared in advance, placed in the steamer to keep warm, and taken out when it is time to serve."

As a result, although the appearance is still exquisite, the original flavor has been lost.

Ye Zifen had no interest in these dishes that had lost their original flavor. When the emperor raised his glass and invited everyone to drink together, she pretended to enjoy the food, but she didn't actually taste it.

She always kept in mind the teachings of Nanny Qi, and many conspiracies and intrigues often took place in such occasions with many people and the emperor's attention.

At this time, with so many people talking, it is not only easy to get things done, but also easier to put the blame on others.

Since you want to stir up trouble, it is inevitable that innocent people will be affected, so it is necessary to maintain a good state so as not to be easily calculated by others.

So we need to pay attention to those places that are easy to be tampered with.

For example, tea cups, wine glasses, dishes, cakes, and fruits, in short, try not to touch the things that enter your mouth, and it is better to go back to your own territory and eat however you want.

Not only Ye Zifen, some ladies and young ladies from aristocratic families are like this, and they all understand each other tacitly.

Ye Zifen is not the most outstanding one among them.

At this time, the emperor raised his glass and said excitedly: "This glass of wine, let us toast to our warriors of Daxia! They fought bravely and defended the vast land of Daxia with their flesh and blood, which is why we have today's celebration banquet! Whether the generals and soldiers are present today or not, they are all good men of Daxia!"

After saying this, the emperor held the wine glass with both hands, put it to his lips, and drank it all in one gulp.

The court officials also raised their glasses, saluted the emperor, and drank together.

Zhang Gaoyi's way of drinking was generous but elegant, which attracted the attention of the queen sitting at the top.

She asked the maid beside her softly, "Is that the man in armor the general of the Tiger Army who was just appointed today?"

Her voice was not loud, but the emperor next to her could hear it clearly.

The emperor didn't even raise his eyelids.

At this time, the maid beside the queen did not dare to reply.
