Parents are busy farming

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, Ye Zifen's graceful figure appeared in his sight.

At this moment, a man in a green robe and a jade belt around his waist walked towards Ye Zifen in a hurried pace.

This person looked like a steward in the palace, and his demeanor was extremely respectful.

As he walked, a breeze blew up, causing the corners of his clothes to flutter gently.

Looking at his face again, the smile on it seemed as if it was carefully carved by a skilled craftsman. The flattery was revealed, but at the same time, the right measure was struck so that the flattery did not cause offence, but instead revealed a just right amount of respect.

When he was only a few steps away from Ye Zifen, the steward stopped and bowed to her respectfully.

Then, he turned his smiling face to Ye Zifen and said in a neither loud nor soft voice, "Madam, you are finally back! I have been waiting for you here for a long time!"

His tone was full of flattery and joy, as if it was a great honor to see Ye Zifen return, and these words could be clearly heard by the people around him.

Ye Zifen nodded gently, her movements elegant but sharp, and then she opened her red lips and quickly ordered in a swift and resolute tone: "Hurry and prepare a best guest room for the distinguished guest sent by the court. There must not be any delay!"

Her eyes were as bright as stars, flashing with an unwavering light, and her unquestionable tone seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, making people dare not disobey in the slightest.

"In addition, when the general returns, inform him immediately and ask him to meet me in the study. I will be waiting here."

When she said this, a hint of anxiety flashed across Ye Zifen's eyes, but in the next moment, it returned to its calm state like still water in a deep pool.

After a brief silence, she seemed to suddenly remember something and added, "Oh, by the way, don't forget to prepare some exquisite and delicious snacks and send them to the study."

At this moment, her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her originally dignified and elegant face now looked extremely focused and serious, and it was obvious that she attached great importance to these matters.

Faced with this series of instructions that came one after another, the manager couldn't help but become a little flustered.

However, he quickly calmed down and nodded repeatedly, shaking his head up and down as fast as pounding garlic, and kept repeating the words: "Yes, ma'am, I understand."

After saying this, he did not dare to delay for a moment. He immediately turned around and left in a hurry. He began to carry out the tasks assigned by his wife in an orderly manner one by one with quick steps.

Soon, his figure completely disappeared from everyone's sight, and only the sound of his footsteps, which were gradually moving away and becoming fainter, was still faintly echoing in the air.

As night fell that day, the entire mansion was silent and no one knew what the general talked about with the princess in the study after he returned.

Inside the study, the dim candlelight flickered gently in the breeze, illuminating the figures of two people sitting opposite each other.

The general's brows were furrowed, his face was solemn, his lips were slightly parted but he seemed to want to say something but stopped himself several times, as if he had thousands of words in his heart that he was unable to express.

The eldest princess sat upright on the chair, her eyes as sharp as torches, staring firmly ahead, as if she was patiently waiting for the general to speak.

However, the tightly closed study door was like an insurmountable barrier, locking all the secrets firmly in this small space, and people from outside had no way of getting a glimpse of them.

At dawn the next day, before it got bright, the eldest princess, dressed in plain clothes and without any luggage, resolutely set out on the journey back to the capital with the court officials.

The early morning sun shines softly on the vast grassland, covering this vast land with a layer of golden gauze.

The eldest princess stood tall and straight, her steps steady and powerful, without a trace of hesitation or attachment on her face.

The court officials who followed her all looked hurried and followed closely behind her.

Their team did not carry too many fancy bags, and no one looked back before leaving.

Just like that, the eldest princess and her entourage left as quickly as the wind, leaving behind only the sound of hurried horse hooves that resounded through the sky and raised a cloud of dust.

It was not until two days after Ye Zifen led everyone to leave the grassland that the news gradually spread. The people on the grassland learned that the eldest princess, whom they had always respected, had returned to the capital.

Despite this, people on the grassland are still busy with their daily lives in an orderly manner, as if the princess had never left.

On that ordinary day, everything seemed peaceful and calm as usual.

However, during an inadvertent casual conversation, a shocking fact hit everyone like a bolt from the blue - the eldest princess had actually left quietly!

This sudden news left everyone present dumbfounded and at a loss. They looked at each other, and their eyes were filled with disbelief.

For a moment, the whole atmosphere fell into deathly silence, and no one could find the right words to express the deep feelings and firm belief in the eldest princess in their hearts.

Some people closed their eyes silently, clasped their hands together, and prayed devoutly to God, hoping that this was just an illusory nightmare; while others were sad, tears streaming down their cheeks uncontrollably, and the pain in their hearts surged like a tide.

However, fate always seems to like playing tricks on people.

Just when everyone had not yet recovered from the huge blow of the eldest princess's departure, new news came again just about ten days later.

I saw a horse galloping towards me like lightning, raising a cloud of dust.

The man on the horse looked panicked. After he pulled the reins and jumped off the horse, everyone discovered that he was holding a letter tightly in his hand.

When this letter carrying important news was opened, everyone's heart instantly rose to their throat.

It turned out that the eldest princess encountered a group of vicious robbers on her way back to Beijing.

Faced with these cruel criminals, the eldest princess showed no fear and stepped forward to protect the accompanying court officials.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. During the fierce fight, an arrow was mercilessly shot at the eldest princess. She was unable to dodge and was hit hard by the arrow, seriously injuring her.

Although her followers tried their best to rush her to a nearby clinic, she was ultimately unable to be saved.

When the eldest princess was sent to the hospital, the flame of her life was as weak as a candle in the wind, and could be extinguished at any time.

In the end, this highly respected legendary figure could not escape the clutches of death and left this world forever.
