Professional Ethics of a Concubine

"I am concerned about a lot of things." Ye Qingzhi walked over to sit beside him, pretending to be confused and said,

"For example, when will the concubine enter the palace? What is her personality like? Does Your Highness want to pamper her more, or leave her alone?

Your Highness knows that I am not the kind of person who would initiate trouble, but if this new concubine insists on causing trouble for me, I will not let her off easily.

However, I will naturally put Your Highness first in everything.

If this new concubine is of great use to you and you should pamper her, I will deliberately avoid her and not conflict with her.

Lest the other party cause trouble, I can't help myself and kill him, and then Your Highness will be in a dilemma."

King Jing listened to her words, which were both aggressive and even a little arrogant. He couldn't help but smile and hugged her in his arms. He bit her little mouth and said,

"In terms of importance to this king, no one can surpass Qingqing. No matter who enters the palace, I will never let you avoid them or compromise."

"Your Highness, I believe what you said." Ye Qingzhi said with a smile.

“Although I don’t like to take credit for myself, I’m not the kind of person who would belittle myself or push the credit away.

Although I am of a humble origin and am just a merchant's daughter, I am blessed with great fortune and have many noble people around me!

Your Highness, even if you marry a princess for a foreign mission, the help you get will not be as much as what I can bring alone.

Therefore, Your Highness, you are so wise, intelligent, and far-sighted that you will never do such a thing as to throw me aside and mindlessly favor another woman.

Because I am sure of this, I don't feel any threat from new people entering the house.

If I were to be bullied by her, would Your Highness still side with her and force me to bow to her? If that really happened..."

"What will you do if it happens?" asked King Jing.

"Of course I'll complain to my father, Queen Su!" Ye Qingzhi pinched her waist and said confidently, "At least it still works now."

King Jing,

King Jing patted her on the head unhappily and said, "Your brain is still as good as ever."

Why don't you sweet-talk him now, saying something like "I'm jealous, I feel bad, and I don't want Your Highness to favor a new lady" and just make him happy.

She said a bunch of nonsense to criticize and threaten him. Qingqing is really cruel.

Ye Qingzhi rolled her eyes at him and pushed him lightly in the same unpleasant manner, asking him to move aside so that she could lie down on the bed and rest.

Visiting relatives is also tiring.

Before I could even catch my breath after coming back, I was forced to go to work, drink the tea made by my leader, and attend a leadership symposium, which made me even more tired.

After Ye Qingzhi lay down, she turned her back to King Jing and ignored him.

As for the new concubine, she can love whoever she wants, as she said, she is not afraid of her at all.

She still has the princess to protect her. If the new concubine dares to step on her face, her princess will definitely be the first to take action to discipline the new concubine.

There is no need for King Jing to take action at all.

Prince Jing would not get too involved in the daily fights in the harem, as that was the princess's main battlefield, and she only needed to hide behind the princess.

After being a teacher for so long and bringing up the princess, it is reasonable for her to lie down.

Prince Jing wants to hear nice things. Haha, sister doesn’t need you and can’t get any benefits from you, so naturally she doesn’t want to listen to you.

The love potion has another price.

When King Jing saw her lying down, he also lay down, moved over, hugged her from behind, and continued,

"My father wanted the seventh daughter of the royal family to be his concubine, but I refused."

"Which royal family? Princess Su's family? The prince refused? Will the emperor agree?"

When Ye Qingzhi heard him say this, she suddenly became interested. She turned around and looked at him and asked a series of questions.

"Yes, it's the Wang family." King Jing rubbed her little face and continued,

"According to my guess, the emperor may have chosen the Wang family because the Wang family took the initiative to ask the emperor for it. They may even make concessions and agree that Prince Su can divorce Princess Su completely."

"Then Your Highness still refuses? Why does he refuse? The Wang family is also a famous and prestigious family, especially among the students. The support of the Wang family is also a help."

Ye Qingzhi asked in confusion.

“This king hates these noble families, they are too ambitious and too controlling.

Look at how the Chen family treats the prince. Even though the prince is incompetent, there is no doubt that this great aristocratic family lacks respect for the royal family and even wants to manipulate the monarch."

King Jing said with a serious look,

“When Taizu started his army to overthrow the previous dynasty and establish the Great Zhao, he really couldn’t do without the support of these noble families in the early days of his business.

However, after decades of accumulation, Da Zhao is no longer the weak little country it was at the beginning, and has already established a firm foothold.

At this time, if he continued to have deep marriages with these noble families, it would only bind himself and whet their appetites.

These nobles continued to annex land, which in turn caused the poor people to lose their land, the court to lose tax revenue, and the people to suffer, and the cycle continued...

Therefore, this prince does not want women from noble families to enter the palace as concubines and nourish their ambitions.

My father and Prince Su have both tacitly approved of my bid for the throne and have given their support. I no longer need any extra help. These forces are enough for now.

I only need to remove the crown prince's wings step by step, and then give my father a legitimate reason to depose the crown prince."

When Ye Qingzhi heard what her leader said, she was really shocked and even suspected that he was a time traveler as well.

It's amazing that he can break out of the limitations of this era, think outside the box, and see the essence and disadvantages of large clans and land annexation!

Ye Qingzhi even felt that her leader had a halo of wisdom on his forehead.

"Your Highness, what you said is truly thought-provoking. Have you told the emperor about this? Does the emperor agree?" Ye Qingzhi asked curiously.

"Of course I did, otherwise I wouldn't be able to convince the Emperor to agree."

King Jing spoke.

"However, my refusal may hinder my uncle's plan to divorce Princess Su. The Wang family will not agree so easily. They may even provoke a fight with your mother, saying something like "my uncle favors his concubine and kills his wife because of me."

Ye Qingzhi frowned and said unhappily,

"It's true, and it's not surprising at all. We women are tools for giving birth to children and taking the blame. Don't say it's our fault that we favor concubines and kill wives. If the country is destroyed, it's also us women who take the blame.

We women, whether wives or concubines, all depend on men's moods to make our living.

Whether you live a good or bad life has nothing to do with your status; it all depends on the man’s attitude.

Men don't give face, just like Lin Qingwan, she is the legal wife, so what, she has talent and brains, but because of the man's indifference, the concubine has the ambition and courage to murder her.

Just like what I had in my dream, I was the principal wife, but the child born by my concubine was deceived and eventually poisoned to death in order to make way for the other wife.

For example, my mother was thrown into the family temple for more than ten years and lived a miserable life.

The etiquette and laws of this world are all made by you men. How can we women have a say?

Even though Prince Su gave my mother the title of princess, people can still use her past to attack her.

But whether this attack can fall on my mother and cause her harm, my mother cannot protect herself, so she can only rely on Prince Su, not on the title of princess.

If you want the title of legal wife, just lock up Princess Su and let her stand there like a target. She can also block the spit from outside for my mother.

As for the twins' birth status, haha, if Prince Su wants to give them legitimate birth, it's just a matter of a word.

What are etiquette and rules? They are nothing more than means for those in power to rule others.

If you pursue these things seriously, you will lose. What you need to consider is how to use them to seek practical benefits for yourself and really protect yourself. "

"Qingqing is better than many women in this world." King Jing sighed when he heard this, and then said with a smile.

"What's this about me? In the end, I'm just relying on Your Highness to live a good life. I'm just not greedy."

Ye Qingzhi spoke.

"The empress of Gulan is a great heroine, a remarkable woman. She overthrew the man and ascended the throne herself. She was also able to stabilize the regime and enhance the country's strength.

Your Highness, please don't look down on me. I don't have such great ambitions, nor do I have that ability. I am just reminding you, so that you can look at women in this world from different angles and never look down on them. "

"Yes, there is also an empress in Gulan with extraordinary means."

King Jing also sighed.

If he cannot make Da Zhao stronger when he takes that position, he will feel ashamed to live.
