Chapter 1687: Arrangement of Hidden Stakes
"Princess, let's stop here for today! Look, it's getting dark soon." The Prime Minister said to Ye Zifen after he came back.
Ye Zifen nodded slightly to show her agreement. Her beautiful eyes revealed a hint of gentleness that was hard to detect. She said softly, "Well, it's really time to end it."
The prime minister standing at the side bowed respectfully, saluted to Ye Zifen, and said cautiously: "Princess, please go first."
His expression was extremely humble, and there was even a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead due to nervousness and awe.
In the eyes of this powerful prime minister, walking in front of the extremely noble princess was a huge offense and disrespect.
However, Ye Zifen smiled and shook her head, and responded in a clear and firm voice: "Mr. Prime Minister, you are my teacher now, how can a student go in front? So, I hope you go first."
As she spoke, her eyes were filled with deep respect and admiration for the Prime Minister.
Hearing the princess' words, the prime minister was stunned at first, but soon returned to normal.
A gratified smile appeared on his weather-beaten face, and then he bowed to the princess again and said in a gentle voice: "In this case, I will respectfully obey your command."
After saying this, he slowly raised his hand, gently adjusted his sleeves, and then took a step forward.
At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the ground like a thin layer of golden gauze, illuminating the stone road under your feet with a faint golden glow.
The Prime Minister's pace was steady and slow, and he took every step very cautiously, as if he was afraid of disturbing the eldest princess behind him.
Ye Zifen, who followed closely behind the prime minister, moved as gracefully as a lithe butterfly.
When the breeze blew, her silky and soft hair fluttered slightly, adding a touch of moving charm.
Ye Zifen dragged her slightly tired body and slowly stepped into the Princess's Mansion. As soon as she stepped over the threshold, the eunuch who came to deliver the message hurried away, as if he was afraid to stay a moment longer.
Aunt Qi, who had been anxiously waiting at the door, hurried forward when she saw Ye Zifen returning and reported to her everything that had just happened.
Ye Zifen listened quietly, nodding slightly from time to time to show that she understood.
After Aunt Qi finished her narration, she said thoughtfully, "I'm afraid I'll have to go in and out of the palace frequently in the future, so it would be a good thing to have a reliable person to pass on information for me."
Aunt Qi nodded.
Then, Ye Zifen slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, sighed leisurely, and said, "Alas! It is too weak to rely on the strength of one person alone. It is simply difficult to accomplish anything."
Aunt Qi nodded.
Ye Zifen said: "So, we must train a few more capable helpers who can be completely trusted! Although we have never had any evil intentions, as the saying goes, 'it's better to be prepared'. No matter what you do, it will never be wrong to prepare in advance. You must not wait until the real incident happens to start panicking and being at a loss. That will only put yourself in a passive position and let others manipulate and slaughter you at will!"
After hearing what Ye Zifen said, Aunt Qi, who was standing beside her, nodded in agreement. She pondered for a moment, as if she was carefully thinking about the relevant matters in her mind, and then responded: "I understand what you mean, young lady. Please rest assured, I will leave this matter to you. I will definitely handle it properly."
As she spoke, Madam Qi narrowed her eyes slightly, and her originally kind and gentle eyes now revealed an unwavering look. She then added: "Besides, I have some connections in this palace. It is not difficult to select and train a few candidates from them!"
Hearing this, Ye Zifen couldn't help but feel delighted. She quickly stretched out her hands and gently held Aunt Qi's slightly rough hands. Her beautiful big eyes were now filled with sincere gratitude and unreserved trust in the other party.
She said softly, "That's great! I'll have to trouble Madam Qi to take care of it! To be honest, I've just entered the palace and there are still many things I don't understand. I can say that I'm completely in the dark. So, I have to rely on you to help me with this matter!"
Madam Qi gently patted Ye Zifen's white and delicate little hand, and said in a kind and caring tone, "Miss, please don't worry. I will do my best to handle this matter. You also know that the situation in the palace is complicated and unpredictable! If we can win over a few more reliable people, then no matter what we do in the future, we will be more confident and have a greater chance of success."
After hearing this, Ye Zifen nodded slightly to show her agreement.
Her beautiful face looked a little solemn at the moment, and she frowned as she said, "Madam, I have always been very confident in your work. But this matter is very serious and involves a lot of people, so we still need to be extremely cautious and careful. We must not let others see any flaws or clues."
Madam Qi nodded solemnly and said, "I understand it very well. I will be extra careful and will not let you worry about it."
Nanny Qi stood quietly by, looking at her young lady's worried look, and couldn't help feeling pity in her heart.
She comforted him softly, "Miss, don't worry too much. I will definitely not disappoint you and complete the task successfully. By the way, speaking of this, I wonder if the princess had a very hard and tiring time in the palace today?"
Ye Zifen sighed softly and replied with a wry smile, "It's not that I've been hard-working, but I've offended all the ministers in the court today by speaking out for justice."
When Aunt Qi heard this, she was stunned at first, then she comforted her: "Don't worry, Princess. You are the eldest princess, so what if you offend them? In my opinion, this is much better than letting the emperor be suspicious of us and be on guard against us everywhere!"
Ye Zifen raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a relieved smile, and responded: "Mammy, what you said is very true, I think so too. As the saying goes, 'A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind'. Since you have decided to stand up, why should you care about what others think? As long as you have a clear conscience, it is enough."
