Time travel is risky, and love requires caution

Chapter 18: Not on the same level as me

Perhaps because Zheng Wanrong was frightened and overthinking, she went into labor prematurely just a few days after the matter of Jingyixuan was completely settled.

Fortunately, with Ning Shuyi's previous experience, although everyone in the harem was in trouble again, there was order in the chaos.

Although Zheng Wanrong finally gave birth to the fourth prince successfully, she suffered from postpartum hemorrhage. The Imperial Medical Bureau tried every possible way to treat her for many days, but in the end she was still unable to be saved.

So the Queen asked for permission to keep the Fourth Prince by her side and raise him, and the Emperor granted permission.

After Ling Qiqi learned the news, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart: As expected, now the Queen has finally got what she wished for.

Ling Qiqi felt that the recent events seemed familiar, and they were similar to what happened between Concubine Shu and Concubine Jing three years ago.

If the last incident was Shu Fei's fault, then what about this time? Was she plagiarized? The problem is that she didn't even know to plagiarize someone with better grades, but had to plagiarize someone who was a poor student? Shu Fei didn't end up well in the end, but she didn't learn from it, and instead continued to do the same. How much courage does this take?

But what if it is not plagiarism but original creation? The Queen’s original creation?

The queen is really disappointing. In these three years, her mind and abilities have not improved at all.

In comparison, this time is not as good as the interlocking and reversal events three years ago.

Although this time was not exciting, it was thrilling. After all, she was also implicated in the game this time, but fortunately she was smart enough to escape.

Ling Qiqi wasn't really angry about what the Queen did, she just simply hated it.

Although Ling Qiqi was too lazy to argue with the Queen, when the Grand Empress Dowager learned that the Queen had almost framed the Seventh Princess and caned Yu'er, she was very angry and immediately sent someone to Chunhui Palace to question the Queen in person:

Why couldn't the Queen think of a reason that even the Seventh Princess could think of?

Why did the queen rashly interrogate and intimidate the princess of a country in public before finding out the whole story?

If the Seventh Princess was wronged, what should the Queen do?

Why did they abuse lynching and try to beat people in Deoksugung Palace?

Does the Queen think that she, the Empress Dowager, is no longer around?

At the same time, he warned the queen:

If the Queen continues to act in this way, she will take the Fourth Prince to Deoksugung Palace to raise him personally.

Ling Qiqi felt that the Queen deserved it!

As the mother of a country, she did not make any achievements in the education of her children. This can be seen from the cultivation of the fifth princess.

In the governance of the harem, to put it nicely, it is governing by doing nothing; to put it bluntly, it is a case of one ladle spoiling the whole pot. The queen is the biggest ladle, stirring up the broken pot of the harem into a mess.

As the saying goes, "If virtue does not match the position, there will be disaster." The queen has little virtue but a high position, little wisdom but big plans, and sooner or later it will affect the fortune of the royal family. If the fourth prince is given to her to raise, sooner or later he will be a misleading child.

Ling Qiqi felt that it would be best for the Queen to learn to be ashamed and cultivate her character in the future, and most importantly, to avoid provoking her.

After all, the queen is not on the same level as me.

It’s not that Ling Qiqi is conceited. Isn’t she extraordinary? She came from a different world.

Although her physical age is younger after traveling through time, her mental age before traveling through time is older.

The Queen is now in her early twenties, a few years younger than Ling Qiqi in the real world.

What's more, Ling Qiqi also has many years of experience in watching movies and TV shows about palace fighting, spy warfare, suspense and other political intrigues, as well as many years of practical experience in workplace struggles.

The modern workplace is sometimes no less exciting than the harem, with intrigue, jealousy, and flattery everywhere, and you can become cannon fodder if you are not careful. Even TV dramas may not dare to film such a fascinating scene.

You have to know that Ling Qiqi in the real world works in HR.

Is HR something that ordinary people can do?

Yes, the threshold for HR is low and anyone can do it. But not everyone can do it well.

Sometimes Ling Qiqi feels that the Human Resources Department should be read backwards: Department (not) Affairs (but) People.

Every day is like pulling a skin strip.

Recruitment for the boss, training (brainwashing) for the employees, matchmaking and bringing the two parties together. But if one day the two parties get tired of each other and want to break up, Ling Qiqi has to jump up and down to say nice things, and if they can't talk nicely, she will help them go to court. But no matter whether they win or lose the lawsuit, they will always be scolded by the losing party.

Performance appraisal is even more lacking in ethics. Using KPI and OKR to PUA, the rewards are all the same, but the punishments are varied.

Ling Qiqi has to act like a scumbag all day, saying some meaningless things to her employees:

"If you think so, there's nothing I can do about it."

"I'm doing this for your own good. You can find a better (job)."

"It was all voluntary at the beginning."

“Which (company) isn’t like that?”

Ling Qiqi does a conscienceless job every day, but the money she earns is barely enough to appease her conscience, let alone her stomach.

People like her who struggle in the cracks of the workplace have long developed a smooth face, a callous heart, and a sense of justification.

That's why she can now thrive in the harem and win every battle. The Queen's tricks are so easy for her.

Ling Qiqi sometimes felt that the Queen was particularly like a female leader in her previous company.

When the female leader first joined the company, she carried an Hermès bag all day long. Those who knew the ways of the world kept their distance from her, thinking that she was not simple, or that the person behind her was not simple. Those who knew Hermès sneered at her and saw through her but did not say anything.

As soon as the female leader entered the company, she slept with her superior. After sleeping with him so many times, she actually became confident in herself. She abused her power for personal gain and was insatiable. She either took revenge on her own or used her power for personal gain.

After the female leader has established herself in the company, she is not able to show off enough. No matter where she goes, she has to bring a minion with her, to carry her bag, open the door, pour her water... The key is that when she orders people to do these things, she never uses her mouth, and the minion will immediately understand what she means with just a glance. Ling Qiqi is particularly impressed, the training is so damn thorough.

After a while, her various packaging finally couldn't cover her up anymore, and her work ability was as fake as her fake luxury goods. So some people started to take advantage of her, some wanted to replace her, and some wanted to get rid of her. After a few rounds, the female leader felt a little overwhelmed and her small rice bowl was a little bit untenable.

Originally, the female leader was a good scumbag but she insisted on being a lady, which made both the scumbag and the lady unbearable.

The company once became a "fighting arena" where dogs bit each other and got nothing but fur.

Whenever they fought, Ling Qiqi would stand far away holding melon seeds, for fear of getting into trouble or getting covered in blood.

The reason why Ling Qiqi feels that the queen and this female leader are alike is because she hates both of them. They both have backing, status, and power, and they are not very capable but they cherish their jobs very much.

Although the queen is not as bad and bitchy as the female leader, she can take people's lives.

When Ling Qiqi thought about these, she felt that she was too ungrateful in the past. The boss gave her a low salary, but the price she paid was not high either. Although her colleagues were annoying, they were after money and not life. If she were to go back in time, she would cherish the bad company, the bad job, and the bad colleagues.

So by comparison, the harem is not as good as the workplace. Not only can you not change jobs, but the cost of being eliminated is also high. It's not your job that is at stake, but your life.

Moreover, the promotion channel for concubines in the harem is single, and they can and can only sleep with the emperor. The KPI is even more simple and crude, sleeping with a prince is good, sleeping with a prince with the right of succession is excellent.

Alas, Queen, you have a long way to go.
