Parents are busy farming

The wooden boxes were placed on the ground one by one, making "bang bang" sounds.

As the lids were opened one by one, dazzling silver light instantly filled the entire hall.

The boxes of white silver piled up like mountains, sparkling with dazzling light.

This sudden scene made the court officials present feel panicky. They opened their eyes wide and looked at everything in front of them in disbelief.

However, Ye Zifen, who was in this silver sea, had a calm expression as calm as water and was not affected at all.

She stood as straight as a pine tree, firmly in place, as if the noise around her had nothing to do with her.

When the ministers who knew Ye Zifen's character saw this, they couldn't help but groan inwardly.

They knew very well that the eldest princess always acted decisively and her methods were extremely tough.

So, some people hurriedly took out the silver bills they carried with them and placed them on the boxes brought by Ye Zifen without hesitation.

However, there are only a few ministers who are as quick-witted as this one.

At this moment, most of the court officials looked at each other with confused and helpless expressions on their faces.

They had no idea what Ye Zifen was trying to do, and for a moment they didn't know how to respond.

At this time, the emperor sitting on the dragon throne also had a look of astonishment on his face.

He could never have imagined that the princess, who was usually dignified and elegant, would have such a tough and overbearing side.

Looking at the silver in the palace and Ye Zifen's indifferent face, the emperor felt his mouth twitching involuntarily...

At that moment, the atmosphere in the entire court seemed to freeze, and a tense atmosphere permeated, making people feel almost suffocated.

Everyone's eyes were drawn to Ye Zifen and the pile of silver in front of her as if drawn by a magnet.

Ye Zifen smiled and said to the emperor on the dragon throne calmly: "Your Majesty, I have already prepared the required silver. And I never thought that the other adults had the same idea as me! Your Majesty should reward us who are always worried about the Tiger Army and the country of Great Xia!"

She spoke these words earnestly, but her smile hinted at a subtle cunning.

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but wonder if he had heard it wrong.

It is totally unheard of that someone would take the initiative to ask for a reward from me!

His eyes widened in disbelief, and a tiny crack instantly appeared on the serious and majestic expression on his face. He was obviously shocked by this sudden situation.

However, at this moment, if the emperor chose not to give rewards, wouldn't it make the ministers who had just donated generously feel disheartened?

So the emperor's eyes began to move back and forth between Ye Zifen and those ministers.

Although he was already burning with rage in his heart, his reason told him that he had to force himself to endure it.

Looking at Ye Zifen, she seemed to be completely unaware of the emperor's rage at the moment. She still stood there straight, as motionless as a sculpture.

Her beautiful eyes were fixed firmly on the emperor who was sitting on the high throne and exuding supreme majesty. She looked as if she was waiting with joy and impatiently for the extremely generous reward that belonged to her to come soon.

At the same time, several other ministers in the court behaved differently.

Some of them lowered their heads slightly, not daring to meet the emperor's fierce gaze, as if they were afraid of offending him; others had fawning looks on their faces, and hurriedly echoed every word Ye Zifen said, with a face full of flattery.

For a moment, the entire court fell into an eerie and quiet atmosphere that made people feel a little creepy. The only sound that could be heard was the heavy breathing of the crowd due to nervousness, which came one after another and never stopped.

At this moment, the emperor tightly grasped the armrests of the dragon throne, which symbolized supreme power, with both hands. Due to excessive force, the blue veins on the back of his hands were all bulging and clearly visible.

After a short silence, the emperor finally opened his mouth slowly and said, "Well! You are so loyal to me, it is really precious, I should reward you."

As soon as the words fell, the smile on Ye Zifen's face, which was already slightly smiling, instantly became even more intense.

Then, she quickly knelt on her knees, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great grace!"

Seeing this, the ministers who had been talking with Ye Zifen just now also followed her actions, knelt down in unison, and shouted in unison: "Thank you, Lord, for your grace!"

Their voices continued to echo in the empty court for a long time.

However, as the emperor looked at the scenes happening before his eyes, his annoyance not only did not ease in the slightest, but became even more intense.

But even so, facing this situation, he had no choice but to sulk in secret.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ye Zifen asked again: "Your Majesty, what exactly are you going to reward us? Fuxia, I can't hold back my inner eagerness and want to know the answer!"

Faced with such a situation, the emperor could only shake his head helplessly, then turned to look at Eunuch Huang who had been serving him.

He then whispered, "I vaguely remember that in my storehouse, there are several high-quality inkstones. Please quickly find them and give them to the ministers present here."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, those ministers who had generously donated money before suddenly revealed an expression of smugness that was difficult to conceal on their faces.

Then, they all knelt on their knees again, shouting "Long live the emperor" to express their most sincere gratitude to the emperor.

Of course Ye Zifen was among them.

On the other hand, those ministers who did not pay were all stunned and could not understand what was happening.

What on earth is going on here? Can I get the emperor's favor and reward just by paying money?

In this way, isn't it clearly using money to win the emperor's favor?

At this moment, the hearts of these ministers were filled with regret and unwillingness.
