Professional Ethics of a Concubine

Concubine Xu was dragged away with her mouth blocked.

She is really too noisy.

Zhang Jingyi was annoyed by her noise. Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of her, she had someone cover her mouth and drag her away.

However, given Concubine Xu's intelligence, Zhang Jingyi didn't believe that she could say such a thing.

There must be someone behind Concubine Xu.

who can that be?

Zhang Jingyi went through all the women in the backyard of the mansion in her mind one by one, and then wondered who had the ability to hide quietly behind and let Concubine Xu be the first to step forward, and be so willing to do so.

After thinking about it, I came up with three suspects. One was Su Ranran, the concubine Su, one was Concubine Xia, and the other was Concubine Huo.

Zhang Jingyi didn't care who it was, nor was she in a hurry to catch him. As long as he had done it, there would always be traces.

Just suppress it first and let that person panic.

Over the next two days, Ye Qingzhi worked with the princess to work out the welfare policy for emergency relief funds.

In addition, we took this opportunity to further improve the various rules of the palace, one of the more important ones being the promotion path for servants.

The servants in the palace are also workers. Who wouldn't care about promotion, salary increase and career prospects?

If there is a fair and transparent promotion path, bright career prospects, and reduced influence of nepotism, it will definitely stimulate people's potential, bring out their greatest abilities, and thus discover many capable and loyal excellent employees, and it will also reduce the situation where servants fool their masters.

Bright career prospects, including but not limited to the following:

For example, they can become a housekeeper, be sent to a shop to work as a manager or accountant, and even the children who have signed a death contract can be changed into a living contract, from a slave to a free person, and they can even let their children and nephews take the imperial examinations, etc.

Of course, if you want people to grow, you cannot do without corresponding vocational training.

The slaves all came from poor families. Before entering the palace, they had basically no chance to study. Most of them could not read or count, and only relied on instinct and barbarism.

There is of course special training before officially taking up the post on how to be a good servant, how to serve the master well, and what the rules of the mansion are.

However, that is just the most basic professional skills training, not personal growth.

However, Ye Qingzhi was not sure about what kind of training should be done, how in-depth the training should be, and how much investment should be made. This still had to be decided by Prince Jing.

Of course, these generous and attractive welfare benefits must be accompanied by corresponding punishment measures.

We must make them understand that once they betray their master, the price will not only be their own life, but also the lives of their families.

In addition to this, they must be brainwashed every day. If you and your family are threatened and asked to betray your master, please report it in time!

In this way, your family will still have a chance to survive. If you choose to betray, you and your family will only die, and die miserably!

There are many secret guards in the palace, watching you all the time. Don't be too smart and don't think you can hide from the prince who is a member of the Jinyiwei.

……

These things took several days to be finalized, and the princess immediately announced the new rules.

Moreover, the princess did not erase Ye Qingzhi's contribution, and made the servants understand that the good benefits such as relief funds and employment prospects were all Ye Qingzhi's ideas and she fought for them for everyone.

The servants were naturally grateful to Ye Qingzhi. When they talked about Concubine Ye, they were all thankful. They thought she was a kind-hearted bodhisattva, or the kind of person who would show silver between her fingers.

On weekdays, he would be rewarded a lot of money for running errands for Concubine Ye.

Ye Qingzhi also reciprocated the favor and became more respectful and obedient to the princess in front of the servants.

She took the lead in fulfilling her duties, making the servants understand who is the mistress of the house, who holds their promotions, and who holds their lives, so that no servant would be disrespectful to the princess.

The rules have been set here, and Concubine Xu has been locked up for four days.

The princess had never taken any care of her. She only asked someone to send her some water and a steamed bun every day, just enough to keep her from starving to death.

During this period, the princess also asked people to keep a close eye on the movements of other women in the harem.

Finally, she decided that the person behind the scenes was between Concubine Su and Concubine Xia.

After the princess had taken care of the servants, she was free to do her part. She thought the matter should have come to an end, so she ordered Concubine Xu to be released.

In just four days, Concubine Xu had become so haggard and miserable that she didn't even have the strength to scream.

Life is hopeless, that's what she is like now.

All the women in the backyard were there. The princess briefly explained what Concubine Xu had done, and then asked Concubine Xu to reveal the person behind it.

Concubine Xu had a deadpan look on her face and said no matter how she was asked, it was her own idea.

The princess frowned, very dissatisfied with her stubbornness, and wondered whether she should be given a taste of her own medicine.

"Concubine Ye, what do you think?" the princess asked Ye Qingzhi beside her.

"Princess, I think I should pour a basin of cold water on Concubine Xu to wake her up."

Ye Qingzhi sat sideways, supporting her head with her right hand, and spoke lazily.

Concubine Xu suddenly raised her head and glared at Ye Qingzhi, but she was angry but could not say anything.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." The princess smiled and said immediately,

"Go get a basin of cold water to help Concubine Xu wake up."

Everyone, "!!!"

Why do they feel like they are seeing a tyrant and his favorite concubine when looking at the Princess and Concubine Ye?

This time, Concubine Xu glared at the princess, her eyes bulging out, with a look of disbelief on her face.

Do you dare to pamper Concubine Ye a little more!

Why did Concubine Xu dare to be the first to speak out? Because she was sure that the princess would be moved by her words and would protect her.

Even if you suffer a little, it will only be temporary.

However, in fact, reality and imagination are a world apart!

They could understand that the prince doted on Concubine Ye, so they just accepted it with a pinch of their nose.

But why does the princess dote on her so much? Doesn’t the princess love the prince but Concubine Ye? ! !

"what!!!"

A basin of ice-cold water just drawn from the well was poured over Concubine Xu's head, and she screamed because of the cold.

People are indeed much more sober.

At least I no longer have to wonder about the relationship between the princess and Ye Qingzhi.

The other women shuddered as they looked at Concubine Xu, who was wet and in a very miserable state.

It felt like the basin of water was poured heavily on their heads.

Concubine Xia clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and her breathing paused. If she took off her makeup, one could tell that her face was as pale as paper.

Of course, she wasn't the only one with a grim look on her face. Several other people pursed their lips tightly.

"It seems that the prince favors me alone, which has caused the wrath of the people. You all want to get rid of me one by one. Could it be that Concubine Xu took the lead and you are all behind the scenes?"

Ye Qingzhi looked at them and chuckled. She didn't care whether the truth was true or not, and continued to speak slowly.

"Let me tell you a cold and cruel truth. Even if you get rid of me, the prince will not favor you, let alone let you have a child.

Because in the prince's heart, you are no longer of any use. Firstly, your family background is too low, and secondly, you are uninteresting and unfresh.

Alas, even if I am not here, there are still so many noble ladies out there, with good family backgrounds, talents, and looks. Your Highness can pick and choose any of them to marry into your family, so why should you wrong yourself and favor you?"

Everyone, "!!!"

This is murder and heartbreaking!
