Chapter 1276 Urgent News

But who could have thought that this guy would behave like this, simply challenging his authority as a father!

Old Master Hong muttered to himself, "Who on earth did this kid learn this from? He's almost a grandfather, but why is he becoming more and more outrageous?"

As he thought about it, he shook his head helplessly.

The son in front of him who was giving him such a headache seemed to no longer be the young man who only knew how to study hard.

Today, Master Hong Er is not only smart, but also becoming more and more courageous, and he does unexpected things from time to time.

Fortunately, he has a successful career.

Old Master Hong couldn't help but sigh that time flies! Where did his once obedient, hardworking and studious son go?

Seeing that Mr. Hong was still busy with his own business, Mr. Hong decided to ignore him for the time being.

After all, there is always some generation gap and friction between father and son. Maybe it would be better to wait for some time until both of them calm down and have a good talk...

At this moment, Ye Zifen was sitting around the dining table with Old Madam Hong, First Madam Hong and Second Madam Hong, enjoying delicious food.

There were very few women inside the room, but there were many men outside.

Among the women, the daughters-in-law of the first and second branches of the Hong family were prominently present; among the men, in addition to the men from the first and second branches, there were also Wang Chuanxing and Wang Chuanshan.

Of course, Master Hong had already entered the palace at this time, so he was not present.

Suddenly, a second-class maid ran into the room in a hurry and came straight to Madam Hong, panting and saying, "Madam, it's not good! The servant beside the eldest master brought news that the eldest master is anxiously waiting for the fifth girl at the palace gate, and asked the fifth girl to pack her luggage as soon as possible and prepare to enter the palace to meet His Majesty."

After hearing the news, Mrs. Hong was shocked.

You have to know that meeting the emperor is no ordinary thing. Unless there is an important matter, ordinary people have no chance to set foot in the palace. Even for women like them from official families, it is quite difficult to enter the palace to meet the emperor.

What's more, there are many rules and regulations in the palace. Being suddenly summoned into the palace seemed to indicate that a disaster was about to happen.

Wang Chuanshan's slightly anxious voice came from outside: "Why did Zifen want to see the emperor? What happened?"

His tone sounded anxious, as if he was on fire.

Old Madam Hong was panic-stricken and her body began to tremble uncontrollably. She stood up with difficulty and looked at Ye Zifen, who was sitting on her right, with horror on her face.

However, Ye Zifen seemed unusually calm and composed at this moment.

She noticed her grandmother's panic, and quickly reached out and gently patted the back of the old woman's hand, comforting her: "Grandma, don't worry, I have already thought about this matter. Just now, when we went to grandfather's study, we had already discussed it and everything has been arranged. Please don't worry!"

This is also said for the nervous people outside.

Old Madam Hong looked at Ye Zifen in panic and asked, "What happened? Why do you, a little girl, have to go to the palace to see the emperor?"

However, Ye Zifen did not make any explanation, but turned around to comfort Madam Hong and said, "Grandma, don't panic. Look outside the screen and see if Grandpa is as calm as usual. This means that we all know what is going on. My uncle is waiting for me outside the palace gate. Time is running out. I need to get ready quickly so as not to keep His Majesty waiting for too long."

Then, she turned to Madam Hong Da and Madam Hong Er and said, "Aunt, Aunt, please help comfort grandma. Don't worry, absolutely nothing will happen."

Although Mrs. Hong Da and Mrs. Hong Er were also extremely panicked, they could only move over to comfort Mrs. Hong.

The old lady is very old, how could she be so emotional?

Mrs. Hong was not someone who had never experienced many storms, but at this moment she was really worried about Ye Zifen.

When she heard her granddaughter asked her two daughters-in-law to comfort her, she felt warm and comfortable, but also a little embarrassed.

So she quickly called over two of her personal maids and ordered them, "You two, hurry up and take the Fifth Miss to my room to have her dressed up again. Hurry up! Once she's dressed up, bring her out."

The two maids listened to the old lady's instructions and realized that the matter was of great importance. They knelt down and bowed, indicating that they would obey her orders.

Ye Zifen nodded slightly and followed closely behind him.

Mrs. Hong stood up worriedly and hurriedly followed Ye Zifen into Mrs. Hong's room.

Ye Zifen sat quietly in front of the bronze mirror, allowing the two maids to carefully re-comb her hair.

Just as one of the maids was about to insert an expensive and rare piece of jewelry into Miss Ye's hairline, Ye Zifen raised her hand to stop them: "Just wear something simple, there is no need to carry such expensive jewelry."

When the maids heard this, they were at a loss for a moment and their eyes quickly turned to Madam Hong who was sitting quietly beside them.

Mrs. Hong was confused and puzzled by the girl's sudden request, but based on her understanding of Miss Ye's character, she knew that she would never do this for no reason.

Thinking that there must be some hidden meaning behind doing this, he nodded slightly to show his agreement.

The maids heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and picked out a few ordinary ornaments to decorate her hair as Ye Zifen had said.

After carefully taking care of her hair, Ye Zifen washed her face carefully without applying anything on it, and changed into a simple and elegant set of clothes.

After finishing the preparation, she stood quietly in front of Mrs. Hong and asked her to examine it.

In the past, when Madam Hong entered the palace, everyone she saw was dressed in gorgeous clothes and adorned with jewels.

At this moment, facing Ye Zifen, who was dressed simply and elegantly, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Although he did not find anything obviously wrong, he still subconsciously felt that Ye Zifen seemed to have suffered some kind of injustice or unfair treatment.

With some doubt and uncertainty, Mrs. Hong asked: "Isn't this dress too plain?"

Ye Zifen shook her head slightly and answered firmly, "First, I am still in mourning. Second, my father is a commoner without any official title or fame. As a commoner woman, it is inappropriate for me to wear expensive and luxurious ornaments. This kind of dress is appropriate."

When Mrs. Hong heard this, she nodded thoughtfully in agreement.

After a short pause, Madam Hong urged, "Since everything is ready, let's leave quickly and don't keep His Majesty waiting for too long."

Ye Zifen nodded, then quickly stepped out of the room and bowed to Old Madam Hong and Old Master Hong before saying goodbye.
