Professional Ethics of a Concubine

After setting her work goals and plans, Ye Qingzhi prepared to attend a few plum blossom viewing banquets that invited her.

It's the end of the year and everyone is busy seeing each other, so there are endless plum blossom viewing banquets, and there is no shortage of opportunities for her to appear on camera.

She went out to socialize in order to establish her reputation as someone who was favored but not easy to mess with.

Only by making these noble ladies deeply aware of her power can her obedience and the princess's extraordinary means be highlighted at the end-of-year banquet.

This is the preparation that must be done before the climax arrives. Without this preparation, the desired effect will not be achieved.

Everything is set off, and the preliminary work must be done well.

The next day, she invited Princess Ling Yue to go to the Duke of England's mansion.

The Duke of Yingguo's Mansion is the emperor's maternal grandfather's home. The deceased old Duke of Yingguo was the emperor's uncle. He followed Taizu to conquer the world and was granted the title of Duke because of his considerable contributions.

The current Duke of England is the emperor's eldest cousin. He is in charge of the military power of the camp outside the capital and is responsible for protecting the safety of the capital. It goes without saying that he is loyal to the emperor.

The Duke of England had three sons and three daughters. The eldest son, who was born legitimately, had already married, and it was decided that he would inherit the title. A memorial was submitted to the Emperor, saying that it was not an exaggeration to call him the Crown Prince.

In addition to the Crown Prince being born of a legitimate wife, there is also a younger legitimate son, who is now just seventeen years old. This blind date banquet is also for him.

The invitation from the Duke of England's Mansion was naturally also sent to the Princess, but the Princess was busy attending a banquet at the Prince Duan's Mansion.

So, Ye Qingzhi came here on behalf of Prince Jing's Mansion.

Ye Qingzhi knew that Ling Yue was bored. She also knew that after Ling Yue left Prince Su's Mansion, she had been restraining herself from seeing Prime Minister Fang and was suffering from lovesickness. So she pulled her out to relax.

Moreover, Ling Yue was familiar with the Duke of England's in-laws and they often visited each other. With Ling Yue around, she could save a lot of effort.

Because the population of the Duke of England's mansion is too large, if she attends by herself, if some people don't match their numbers or don't know other people's identities and taboos, it will make a fool of herself and offend others.

At the beginning, the banquet went smoothly. Everyone wore proper masks and smiled while speaking polite words or flattering each other about business.

In the second half, someone came out to pick a fight with Ye Qingzhi. It was the mistress of the Minister of Justice's family, Madam Miao.

The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice is a loyal younger brother of the Crown Prince and a member of the Chen family faction. It is self-evident why Madam Miao is picking on her.

Ye Qingzhi sparred with her for three rounds.

In the first round, Madam Miao said that Ye Qingzhi must have a high level of attainment in Buddhist scriptures, and knew the story of the Rakshasa ghost and the child ghost. She also said that she had a family background in Buddhism, which was actually an allusion to the fact that she relied on her mother to get to the top and thus got the position of concubine.

Ye Qingzhi smiled slightly and replied to her seriously,

“This concubine does not like to eat vegetarian food or chant Buddhist scriptures. She is just a layman, so her knowledge of Buddhist scriptures is not very high. She only knows a few anecdotes.

But this concubine has a pure mind and has no intention of harming others. She is able to recognize her own position and does not fight for things that do not belong to her.

Therefore, the Buddha favored her a little more, and even Master Liao Yin said that this concubine was blessed with great fortune and had noble people to help her in her life.

For someone like Madam Miao, whose appearance shows that she has a miserable life, it is probably impossible for her to understand what it means to have a good fortune or to be chased by the heavens and fed. "

When Madam Miao heard Ye Qingzhi say that she had a miserable life, she couldn't bear it and immediately said,

"Concubine Ye, I have a very good life. It is not a hard life! You may not know..."

"Oh, that's good, that's good, as long as you don't have a hard life. I don't need to know the details. After all, it's Madam Miao who lives the life, and it has nothing to do with me."

Ye Qingzhi immediately interrupted her with a smile. Madam Miao was almost choked to death. She suppressed her anger and lowered her head without glaring at her. It was clearly she who said that her life was miserable!

In the second round, Mrs. Miao was defeated again.

In the third round, Ye Qingzhi took the initiative and told Madam Miao and others a short story about the injustice done to Dou E.

Ye Qingzhi doesn't need to exaggerate. This kind of classic story can attract people as long as it is told.

When it came to the three vows that Dou E made when she was unjustly killed, that her blood splattered on the white silk, that snow fell in June, and that there was a severe drought for three years, all of which came true one by one, everyone sighed and were shocked.

"Madam Miao, your master is the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, in charge of criminal justice. When you go back, you should tell him this story carefully, so that he won't end up with a victim like Dou E.

If justice cannot be served for the victims and evil cannot be punished, God will not be able to stand it. God is watching what people do, and if people don’t punish God, he will punish them. "

Madam Miao's face turned extremely pale in an instant. She forced herself to smile.

"Concubine Ye, you are joking. My master is fair and just, upright and impartial. He will never give in to personal feelings. There will definitely be no false or wrongful convictions."

"Of course, if there was, your master wouldn't be able to sit in the position of Minister." Ye Qingzhi said with a smile.

"The story of Dou E's injustice is a reminder for officials to redress injustice for the people and uphold justice. Don't take it too seriously. The three oaths mentioned in the story are impossible to be fulfilled."

"Yes, yes, yes." Madam Miao continued to force a smile and responded, "What the concubine said is right. Even if it is not true, this story makes so much sense. It is very profound and a wake-up call."

Mrs. Miao now looks like a person with connections in the workplace who finds faults, gets scolded by her boss, and then obediently gives in. She is a troublemaker at that.

After hearing this, the others looked at Ye Qingzhi with more or less admiration in their eyes. This Concubine Ye is really capable!

Look at the way they are trying to make things difficult for their opponents, trip them up, and defeat their opponents. It's so clever and profound.

Once the story of Dou E's injustice spread, haha, everyone who had experienced such injustice would shout a few times, "She (he) is Dou E," and pray to God to open his eyes and have snow in June and blood splatter on the white silk.

Even if those three vows will not be fulfilled, if you, a minister of the Ministry of Justice, really dare to make up a wrongful case, you say you are not disgusted, you are not afraid? You are kidding!

After teaching Mrs. Miao a lesson, everyone behaved well and no one made trouble again.

The Duchess of England was even more welcoming towards Ye Qingzhi.

After the banquet, she personally saw Ye Qingzhi and Princess Ling Yue off, and said that she would send a message to Ye Qingzhi next time to invite her to come and play.

Ye Qingzhi responded with a smile.

After leaving the Duke of Ying's mansion, Princess Ling Yue smiled and praised Ye Qingzhi again.

"Your little brain is really useful. The story you told about the injustice of Dou E was so beautiful that it made me angry and shocked, but I also felt relieved in the end. When I get home, I will tell my father. I think he will like this story, too.

I don’t know if the severe drought in Qingzhou last year was caused by injustice... Never mind whether it is or not, just say it is and start building momentum.

Judging from the current assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice's servile appearance, it is impossible for him to be upright and incorruptible. There must be false cases and wrongful convictions under his command. Not everyone is Lord Gu of the Dali Temple.

Taking advantage of this incident, my Shi Jin and my brother Prince Jing will work together to build momentum, present evidence, and use public opinion to suppress him. They can easily bring down the Minister of Justice, and then replace him with our people. That will be awesome! What do you think?"

Ye Qingzhi,...

If you ask her, if the princess was a prince, her leader might have no chance at all.

That’s not right. The two of them must fight to the death.

Besides, she is really capable and it seems like she has done something big again.

Pinching her waist can make her feel awesome.
