Professional Ethics of a Concubine

"Your Highness, you should know when to be content. You can't have too much and too much, right?"

Ye Qingzhi winked at him and said something that both of them understood tacitly.

She doesn't love His Highness, but she is sensible and useful, and she covets His Highness's power. Isn't that enough?

Do you want her to transform into Yao Yinyin?

She loves him to death, bullies all the women around him, and in the end she still shouts "I love Your Highness so deeply" that she can't be a virtuous woman!

Ye Qingzhi was amused by her own imagination, and King Jing immediately asked her what she was laughing at.

"I just suddenly thought of Aunt Yao. Your Highness, do you want me to be like her?" Ye Qingzhi asked him deliberately.

Prince Jing pinched her little face in frustration.

She is very eloquent and I can't beat her in an argument.

"Your Highness, do you want to bring Aunt Yao back?" Ye Qingzhi asked him.

"Her father, the fourth-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Fei, who is pregnant with the dragon seed, are also great helpers."

If you want someone to work for you wholeheartedly, you must show your sincerity in some way. It would be inappropriate to lock Yao Yinyin up in the family temple again.

I just don't know, if Yao Yinyin really comes back, it will stimulate her to dream about her past life more often and get more information.

After all, Yao Yinyin was a great figure who sent away the original owner who had just been reborn.

Alas, the original owner’s death was very... depressing.

If she were the original owner, and wanted to take revenge on Yao Yinyin, killing her once would not be enough to relieve this feeling of frustration.

Therefore, Ye Qingzhi decided to squeeze out Yao Yinyin's surplus value again, giving her hope and then destroying it, and then giving her hope again and making her collapse.

If we play this game a few more times and let her experience this feeling of frustration and despair a few more times, maybe that will help the original owner to relieve her boredom.

Since you have taken over the original owner's body, you have to pay the price.

Not only do you have to avenge the original owner, but you also have to resolve her regrets, fulfill her wishes, and defuse her resentment.

Alas, it’s really troublesome.

It's more troublesome than Mrs. Lin's matter.

"Don't you care about her coming back? She's determined to harm you." King Jing asked her.

Ye Qingzhi shook her head. "I am not that confused. I advised Your Highness to spare her life, so I naturally don't mind reusing the recyclable garbage."

"Qingqing, you have put aside the past grudges and are wholeheartedly working for me. What can I reward you with? You don't even want to be the queen..."

King Jing frowned and said in distress, picking up the still confused girl and putting her on the bed.

"It seems that I can only serve you well in bed."

Ye Qingzhi,...

Oh, wait, that’s not necessary!

When will this unbearable exclusive favor end?

Aunt, help me!

On the other side, Prince Su accompanied Mu Nianqiu to finish lunch. After she helped him digest the food, he lay down with her. Only after he saw that she fell asleep did he get up and go to the palace.

"Eh? Brother, you didn't take a nap?"

When they arrived at the emperor's bedroom, Prince Su found that the emperor was awake and asked in surprise.

Isn't he used to taking a nap at this time?

He was about to wake him up like he did last time.

"...I didn't sleep well. I knew you would come, so I was waiting for you." The emperor said unhappily.

"I already know that Madam Mu is pregnant with twins."

Because the imperial physician had reported the matter to him before lunch, and knowing his brother well, he judged that Prince Su would definitely come to see him at this time, thus disturbing his restful nap.

Just get up early!

“Hehe, hehe…” Prince Su laughed foolishly, “Royal brother, you don’t have to be so envious that you can’t sleep. You also got an eldest son for nothing.”

The emperor glared at him angrily.

He is envious at all!

Fortunately, Mrs. Mu is old and can only give birth to this child. If she had given birth to more than one child, he would have suffered.

"Besides reporting the good news, is there anything else?" the emperor asked him again.

"Brother, do you think the Crown Prince is not interested in inheriting the throne?" Prince Su said.

"I don't like him either. When he ascends the throne someday, I, his nephew the crown prince, will definitely ask him to hand over my military power. At best, he will banish me to my fiefdom, and at worst, he will even put me under house arrest."

"Don't beat around the bush. Just say what you want to say." The emperor glared at him.

"We cannot let our great Zhao Dynasty be destroyed by our unfilial descendants. So, after much thought, I think that Prince Jing is more suitable than the Crown Prince to take over my brother's position."

Prince Su asked seriously, "What do you think, my brother? Do you have any plans for this?"

"Weren't you always indifferent to this matter? Did King Jing come to see you?"

The emperor asked him expressionlessly.

"Of course not. Even if Prince Jing had this ambition, he wouldn't be so impatient as to start preparing for the succession the moment he recognized his ancestry."

Prince Su said, "It was not today that Mu diagnosed twins, and I was wondering how these two children would not suffer in the future.

I was brought up by my brother the Emperor, and I feel so aggrieved if my children cannot enjoy this treatment in the future!

After much thought, only when King Jing takes the throne in the future can they avoid being wronged. After all, besides being my uncle and nephew, I am also King Jing’s future father-in-law.”

"……"emperor.

God damn father-in-law!

"If you want to support Prince Jing, then do so," the emperor said. "I really don't want to see the crown prince dominate."

The emperor will not promise anything more.

Prince Su was already very satisfied, and having his royal brother's words was enough.

Only after he got his brother's consent in supporting Prince Jing could he do things with confidence and boldness.

Doing it secretly was to hurt his royal brother's feelings and destroy his royal brother's trust in him, and to make Prince Jing no longer favor his royal brother.

He wouldn't do such a stupid thing!

On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Yao Yinyin was brought back from the ancestral temple, and her status was of course that of a low-ranking concubine.

Ye Qingzhi accompanied the princess, met her specifically, drank the tea she offered, and listened to her greetings.

After meeting her, Ye Qingzhi felt relieved.

Not everyone can be a mother. She was locked up in the ancestral temple without any resentment or hatred, and instead developed an otherworldly temperament with a green lamp and ancient Buddha in mind.

Many of them return with a heart bent on revenge.

No matter how submissive Yao Yinyin pretended to be, she could not hide the ambition and hatred in her eyes.

I hope Yao Yinyin has become a little smarter after a few months of training (purification) in the ancestral temple.

Besides her, many women in the backyard wanted to fight with her.

The closer it gets to the end of the year, the busier it gets. All the social interactions pile up, and gifts are given, received, and returned. Zhang Jingyi, the newly appointed princess, is extremely busy.

Xie Jin went from being a marquis to Prince Jing, so his social circle naturally became different.

The list of New Year gifts to be sent to various mansions is also a complicated matter. Fortunately, Prince Jing found two capable maids to help Zhang Jingyi take care of this matter.

Although it was busy, nothing went wrong.

Zhang Jingyi is exhausted every day, but she is also growing rapidly.

Although Ye Qingzhi did not ask about matters related to the New Year gifts, she was not idle. She helped to deal with some of the mundane affairs in the mansion when the princess was too busy.

This is what happens when you are in a high position. Although you have more power, you also have more things to do.

Although Ye Qingzhi wanted to lie down and take it easy, she couldn't just ignore everything when she first took up her new position.

At the very least, her team needs to be reorganized and staffed.

Ruyi, Chunyu and the others alone are too few in number and are not worthy of her position as a concubine.

Ye Qingzhi invited Nanny Zhang to come to her side.

Before, she was a concubine and it was inappropriate for her to be so. Now she is a concubine, and Nanny Zhang is working beside her, so she is honoring Nanny Zhang.

She really needed an old lady like Nanny Zhang to help her manage the maids under her.

In addition to the personnel and general affairs of the mansion, Ye Qingzhi received countless invitations to visit her every day.

Apart from Princess Ling Yue's invitation, Ye Qingzhi refused to accept anyone else's invitation.

In addition, what made Ye Qingzhi happy was that although her leader was a freeloader at her expense, he was not just lying there waiting to be fed, and he was finally busy.

I haven't seen him for three days.

Ye Qingzhi happily said that she missed him.
