Parents are busy farming

Ye Zifen frowned slightly and asked worriedly, "Can the Ministry of Rites handle this now? Aren't they busy with overseas envoys now?"

She was well aware that the Ministry of Rites was busy and worried that the preparations for the wedding would affect the reception of foreign envoys.

The emperor did not answer Ye Zifen's question immediately, but suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Girl, do you have some seeds with very high yields?"

Ye Zifen smiled and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. I have given some of the high-yield seeds to my cousin Wang Chuanxing, and planted some in my own fields. I have also handed over some to the county, allowing them to arrange the planting according to the actual situation. This project is still in the trial stage. Once definite results are achieved, I will report the specific planting methods to the court."

The emperor nodded, expressing his satisfaction, and sighed, "I have always trusted you to do things, but I am afraid that I will not be able to see your research results promoted throughout Daxia."

There was a hint of sadness in his words.

Ye Zifen heard the emperor's hidden meaning and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

She carefully observed the emperor's face and found that he seemed much thinner than before.

Finally, Ye Zifen couldn't help but ask, "Don't the doctors in the Imperial Hospital really have any solution?"

There was concern and confusion in her voice, hoping to get a definite answer from the emperor.

The emperor looked at the distressed girl in front of him, smiled bitterly, and said softly: "I have stayed on this throne for too long, and now I am exhausted. If it were not for the drought in recent years, I really couldn't hold on, let alone leave easily. After all, I can't leave the prince a shabby and devastated Great Xia! At this moment, perhaps it is a kind of relief."

The emperor's tone was calm and indifferent, but after hearing it, Ye Zifen felt a bitterness in her heart. However, she still managed to smile and tried to comfort him, "But..."

However, the emperor raised his hand gently, indicating that she didn't need to say anything more.

A hint of determination and resoluteness flashed in his eyes, and he said in a heavy tone: "Girl, you are too soft-hearted and too kind after all. But you must understand that you must not be so indecisive in the future when you are in the imperial family. I know that several princes have had contact with you, and the relationship between you is quite harmonious. But at the critical moment, you must not be soft-hearted, and you must act decisively."

Ye Zifen nodded silently, indicating that she understood the emperor's painstaking efforts.

Then, she said with deep emotion: "Your Majesty, in fact, you have always believed that you are not good at educating children, but in my opinion, no matter which prince ascends the throne, he will be able to govern Daxia in an orderly manner. As an emperor, you are undoubtedly very successful because you do not favor any party. It's just a pity that this is in the royal family. If it were an ordinary family, they could just let the children go and fight on their own."

The emperor smiled slightly, and his eyes became deep and distant, as if traveling through time back to the past.

He sighed softly and said slowly: "Yes, it would be great if I were an ordinary family. Unfortunately, there is no if in this world."

He went on to say: "However, even if they are in the royal family, they are not completely without options. As long as they have enough ability and wisdom, they may be able to take a different path."

He looked into the distance, as if thinking about something.

Ye Zifen listened quietly. She understood the emperor's helplessness and expectations.

As an emperor, he must be responsible for the entire country and cannot be lenient even to his own children.

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Ye Zifen said softly, "No matter what the future holds, I believe the Crown Prince will work hard to protect the country of Daxia."

Zhang Gaoyi suddenly looked at the emperor. The emperor smiled and said to Ye Zifen: "Hearing what you said, I feel very comfortable."

Although Ye Zifen said such outrageous words, the emperor was not angry at all and even smiled.

Zhang Gaoyi did not stop them, but just listened quietly.

Perhaps it was because of Ye Zifen's honesty and boldness that she gained the emperor's trust.

The emperor continued, "Girl, as long as you can keep your original intention, don't worry, no one in the whole of Daxia will dare to touch you!"

Ye Zifen responded with a smile: "My original intention was to be an ordinary, plain woman, and to be able to live freely and comfortably."

The emperor looked at Ye Zifen meaningfully, then at Zhang Gaoyi, and said slowly: "You are full of lies, but you two are good children. Well, each of you should go and do your own things!"

Ye Zifen and Zhang Gaoyi bowed again to express their gratitude, then bid farewell to the emperor and left the palace together.

Through the window, the emperor silently watched them leave with a gratified smile on his face.

The eunuch stood beside the emperor and spoke carefully, "Your Majesty, Princess Fuxia and the general are really a perfect match! Look, when the princess was talking to you, the general was watching her from the side, his eyes full of tenderness and love. And he didn't seem to have any intention of stopping the princess, which shows that the relationship between them is really good."

The emperor nodded slightly and responded with a smile: "Yes, they grew up together, worked together, and experienced many ups and downs. Although they were once forced to separate, they always supported and helped each other. Especially Princess Fuxia, she has paid a lot for the general, and the general is so affectionate to her now, which is worthy of the princess's sincerity."

However, although everything seems good on the surface, who can predict what will happen in the future?

Maybe they will be happy forever, or maybe they will encounter some twists and turns along the way.

But no matter what, all we can do is cherish the present time and live every day well.

After all, the road ahead is still long and no one can predict what will happen.

Zhang Gaoyi and Ye Zifen walked out of the palace together and stood at the palace gate.

Ye Zifen smiled gently and said, "I still have some things to deal with, so I won't accompany you for now."

Zhang Gaoyi nodded quickly, showing his understanding: "I also have some matters to deal with, so I may not be able to visit you at the Princess's Mansion for some time."

Ye Zifen nodded understandingly and said softly, "I understand. Just do your own thing and don't worry about me. Come back and see me when you are free."

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Zhang Gaoyi with a beautiful back.

Zhang Gaoyi looked at the direction where she went away, feeling reluctant to let her go.

But he knew that the most important thing at the moment was to do the job at hand well. Only in this way could he be worthy of Ye Zifen and himself.

So he took a deep breath, resolutely walked in the opposite direction, and began to deal with the affairs of Bai Xiangyang's wife and children.
