Professional Ethics of a Concubine

Mu Nianqiu naturally agreed to her daughter's arrangement, and then turned to Nanny Zhu beside her and said,

"Madam, please help me prepare some gifts for Miss Feng when she comes."

"Master, rest assured. I will be fully prepared." Nanny Zhu immediately responded with a smile.

"Mom, did Doctor Feng take your pulse today?" Ye Qingzhi asked.

My beautiful mother, this is nothing to worry about. Ye Qingzhi instantly felt like watching the show.

"Not yet." Mu Nianqiu shook his head.

She knew that her daughter and Feng Yuxi had a good relationship. According to Qingzhi, they were best friends.

So, Mu Nianqiu immediately asked Nanny Zhu to invite Doctor Feng over so that Qingzhi could talk to him.

Nanny Zhu took the order and left to invite him personally.

However, after a long time, no one came back.

Ye Qingzhi was afraid that something might happen to Feng Yuxi, so she asked the eunuchs in the courtyard to go and see what was going on.

After a while, the eunuch and Nanny Zhu came back together, but Feng Yuxi was not there.

"Where is Doctor Feng? What happened to him?" Ye Qingzhi asked with a frown.

Mu Nianqiu also looked at Nanny Zhu, waiting for her reply.

Even though Nanny Zhu had seen a lot of storms, she looked as if she had seen a ghost when she talked about Feng Yuxi.

"My Lord, Concubine Ye, when Doctor Feng went out just now, bird poop fell on his head, so he went back to tidy up his appearance.

However, when he went out again, a gust of wind blew and he was blinded again. Because he was rubbing his eyes, he didn't pay attention to his feet and tripped over a stone and fell. But he was not seriously injured, just a little blood came out of his mouth..."

Nanny Zhu was standing by, watching this series of unexpected events, and was dumbfounded.

Ye Qingzhi,...

This is what is called backlash. It sounds like a small matter, but it is really bad luck.

Especially when they happen one after another in a short period of time, even the smallest misfortune can become a huge nuisance.

Mu Nianqiu listened and frowned slightly.

"Doctor Feng said that he is too unlucky now. It is not convenient for him to come and check the master's pulse in the next few days. He is afraid that the bad luck will be implicated on the master, and if anything goes wrong again..."

Nanny Zhu waited for the master and Concubine Ye to digest what she had just said, and then continued,

"I also think it makes sense. Doctor Feng's experience is a bit weird. It's better not to get close to the master. The master can't stand the slightest torment right now."

Ye Qingzhi,...

Son, the power of your blessing (curse) is quite strong.

My God, her mind is now full of doing good deeds and accumulating merits, so as to avoid being blessed by her son and then suffering misfortune.

-

Another day passed, and Prince Jing finally had some free time to take Feng Niankang back to the Xie Mansion to meet his relatives.

Mingyu knew that they were going to see their great-grandmother, and said that he also wanted to pay his respects to her, and of course he also wanted to go out and play with them.

Since the children wanted to pay their respects and show filial piety, Prince Jing naturally did not stop them. He simply asked the princess consort and his daughter Mingyan to go together. It was indeed a long time since he had visited the old lady.

"Brother Kang, according to the relationship theory of the Xie family, you have to call me uncle, do you understand?"

Xie Mingyu was about to go back to the Xie Mansion when she remembered this matter and wanted to act like an elder in front of Feng Niankang.

"Okay, then we'll talk about our own things from now on. You call me Brother Kang, and I'll call you Uncle. Uncle sounds more intimate than the Crown Prince."

As soon as Feng Niankang, this little rascal, opened his mouth, Mingyu was at a loss, and her little face wrinkled like a bun.

Can we still discuss each other like this?

Ye Qingzhi held back her laughter and did not join in the two children's conversation, just watching the fun.

The princess looked at her son's distressed expression and sighed slightly in her heart, thinking that her son was indeed too kind.

It would indeed be beneficial for him to be sent to Wenhua Palace early and attend classes with other princes and grandchildren.

"Feng Niankang, you're talking nonsense again!" Xie Mingyan frowned slightly and spoke to defend her brother, "Don't try to fool Mingyu by changing the concept."

"Yes, Princess Baozhu, I won't dare to do it again next time." Feng Niankang bowed to Xie Mingyan and admitted his mistake without any excuses.

"Sister, don't be mean to Brother Kang. He was actually just joking with me." Mingyu tugged at her sister's sleeve and began to protect Feng Niankang again.

Xie Mingyan glared at her stupid brother and didn't want to pay any attention to him. She was supporting him, but he was actually turning his elbow outward.

angry!

And there is Feng Niankang, who is very young but has a smooth tongue. He can make the dead come alive and coax this one and that one.

But I have never seen him coax me.

Every time he saw her, he put on a serious look, greeted her politely, and didn't say anything extra.

When asked to tell her an interesting folk story, he refused, saying it would pollute his ears and refused to tell it.

Xie Mingyan felt that she was being targeted by Feng Niankang. Every time she saw him, she felt unhappy because he was deliberately teasing his younger brother.

Ye Qingzhi looked at the little princess, then at the little prince, and finally at Feng Niankang. Well... it doesn't matter. Children's friendship is so weird.

Today I am nice to you and not nice to him, tomorrow I am nice to him again, and the day after tomorrow we are nice to each other again.

They were fighting to the death and crying loudly one second, and the next second they were playing together and laughing.

The princess looked at her daughter, then at Feng Niankang, and said nothing.

The children are still young, it is normal for them to have quarrels, what's the big deal?

King Jing was riding a horse outside and did not ride in the carriage with them, so he was unaware of the "undercurrents and turbulent situation" in the carriage.

-

When they arrived at Xie's house, Prince Jing and his entourage were told that the emperor had also arrived and was visiting the old lady in Fushou Garden.

"What a coincidence, we meet father." Prince Jing said to them with a smile.

"Wow, Grandpa Emperor is here too, that's great!" Mingyu said happily.

Mingyan also showed a happy smile. She was naturally happy to see the elders who loved her.

The Emperor is busy with government affairs, and they don't go to the palace to pay their respects every day. They haven't seen him for more than ten days.

When the princess heard that the emperor was there, she immediately tensed up, having been relaxed at first, and entered a high combat state.

Ye Qingzhi is almost the same. She also gets into work mode and doesn't want to slack off.

She also whispered to Feng Niankang, "The emperor is a very kind elder, don't be afraid, just talk to him as usual, but you must also remain respectful, follow the rules, and don't get too close."

"Aunt, I understand!" Feng Niankang nodded vigorously, looking a little excited.

Every time he encountered those bad officials when he was a child, he felt that he had a lot to say to the emperor!

Well...for now, forget it.

He has grown up and won't complain easily.

-

Prince Jing and his entourage arrived at Fushou Garden. When the eunuchs who came with the emperor saw them, they immediately stepped forward and kowtowed to greet them.

"Go in and tell them." Prince Jing said to the eunuch.

The eunuch took the order and went into the house. After a while, he came out and respectfully invited King Jing and others to come in.

"Haha... what a coincidence, my father and I are in perfect sync today. I didn't expect to meet you here." The emperor smiled in a good mood when he saw Prince Jing and others.

"It must be what grandma was talking about. We heard it all." Prince Jing also smiled and stepped forward to pay his respects to his father and the old lady.

When the old lady saw them, and saw Mingyu and Mingyan, she also smiled from ear to ear.

"Don't bow, Mingyu, Mingyan, come to Great Grandmother and let her take a good look at you. You look a lot taller now."

Mingyu and Mingyan kowtowed to the emperor and the old lady before going up to the old lady.

The two children sat on either side of the old lady, calling her great-grandmother with a smile and saying that they missed her, which made the old lady laugh non-stop.

After Feng Niankang kowtowed, he stood aside with Ye Qingzhi very politely, without staring at the emperor or looking at the old lady.

After they had exchanged greetings, the emperor and the old lady's eyes fell on Feng Niankang with curiosity.

This child looks unfamiliar, but was brought here specially by King Jing, so he must have a special identity.

"Whose child is this?" the emperor asked.

"Good boy, come here and let me see who your parents are."

The old lady thought that Prince Jing was the adopted child found for Marquis Pingnan, so she waved at Feng Niankang with a smile.

"I pay my respects to His Majesty and my great-grandmother. My biological father is the Marquis of Pingnan, and my biological mother is Lin Qingwan, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Anle.

My mother had a difficult time giving birth to me and was slandered as having a stillbirth. My biological father abandoned me to a mass grave. Fortunately, I met my adoptive father, who saved me."

Feng Niankang came close to the old lady, knelt down and kowtowed to her, then he spoke clearly about his life story.

"The boy's adoptive father is the gynecologist Feng Yuxi. Some time ago, he was invited to the Prince Su's Mansion to see Concubine Mu.

The boy then met Aunt Zhang who was beside Concubine Ye. She thought the boy looked familiar and his eyes and eyebrows were like her mother's. After some questioning, she determined that the boy's mother was her old master.

These days, Prince Jing has investigated again and again, and confirmed that the boy's identity is not false, so he brought the boy to meet the great-grandmother. "

King Jing,

This king's little mascot is really good at speaking. He is only ten years old, but he is so eloquent. What he says is nine parts true and one part false, and everything he says sounds like the truth.

It would be a shame not to let him be in charge of foreign affairs if he is not immersed in the imperial circle of wealth and officialdom for another ten years.

The emperor raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this, and looked at Feng Niankang carefully again. He was a smart and clever man.

Upon hearing this, the old lady became extremely excited and stood up from her chair. Because she stood up too quickly, her body swayed.

Mingyu and Mingyan quickly used all their strength to support their great-grandmother, and the nanny next to them also hurried forward to help her sit down.

"Oh, great-grandmother, please sit down and don't hurt yourself for the sake of the boy. That boy will be guilty of a great sin."

Feng Niankang quickly got up from the ground and walked to the old lady's side, persuading her like a little adult.

"What a good child, what a good child..." The old lady's eyesight was not good to begin with, and she was so excited that her eyes were tearful. She couldn't see Feng Niankang's little appearance clearly, but she still kept talking happily.

"He looks like your mother, and his personality is likable. He is a smart and good child. Good child, you are blessed, and everything will go well for you in the future."

"Hehe...thank you great-grandmother." After hearing what his great-grandmother said, Feng Niankang thought to himself that he was indeed a lucky person, and that his great-grandmother was really amazing and what she said was right.

"I also wish my great-grandmother a long life, and hope that she can eat well, sleep well, and be in good health."

When Feng Niankang heard his aunt's cough, he changed his blessing from "everything you wish will come true" to "everything you eat is delicious".

Ye Qingzhi was afraid that his blessing was too powerful. Once a person's wish was fulfilled, only bad luck would remain. For the old lady, it would be better not to bless her.

Doctor Feng is now trapped in misfortune, and no one knows when it will end. It's so miserable!

King Jing couldn't help but cough lightly, interrupting his blessing.

Because he also knew how unlucky Feng Yuxi was now, so he couldn't help but feel a little frightened when he heard this boy's blessing.

I was afraid that the merits I had accumulated for the old lady these days were not enough.

What if the old lady’s wish really comes true...she can’t stand a series of bad luck!

It sounds more reassuring to be able to eat, sleep, and stay in good spirits and health.

"What's wrong? Are you two sick?" The emperor looked at Prince Jing, then at Ye Qingzhi, and felt that the expressions of these two people were abnormal.

Something fishy.

"Ahem, I'm worried that the child will talk nonsense and upset father and grandmother again." Prince Jing touched his nose and explained with a deliberately embarrassed look.

Ye Qingzhi also showed an awkward but polite smile to smooth things over for herself and Feng Niankang.

"Xiaokang has been looking forward to meeting the old lady these days. When this child is happy, he keeps talking. He lacks etiquette and rules. I am afraid that he will say something wrong again."

"Hahaha, you two are too polite. What this kid said just now was so wonderful. I love listening to him talk. It makes me happy."

The old lady was laughing so hard that her teeth were showing, she was really happy.

After wiping away the tears from her eyes, the old lady held Feng Niankang's little hand and looked at him again and again. The more she looked, the more she liked him and the happier she was. She kept thanking God and Feng Yuxi for saving the child.

The Pingnan Marquis Mansion finally has a successor!!!

This was a huge happy event for the Xie family, so they had to hold a grand banquet and invite most of the noble ministers in the capital.

Although the two families, Anle Marquis Mansion and Pingnan Marquis Mansion, had broken up, and Qingwan was no longer a wife of the Xie family, it did not affect the child's recognition of his ancestral roots and inheritance of the title of Marquis Pingnan.

The old lady held Feng Niankang and talked for a long time, asking him what he liked on a daily basis, what kind of food he liked to eat, how he had been doing over the years, who his close friends were, and what he had learned.

When she learned that he was bullied while practicing medicine everywhere with his adoptive father, the old lady felt extremely distressed.

When the emperor heard that Feng Niankang had traveled a lot and had broad knowledge and spoke with substance, he became more interested in talking and asked Feng Niankang many questions, such as the local customs and habits of different places and the daily life of the people.

Feng Niankang said a lot, but in the end, he couldn't help himself and filed a lawsuit that had been accumulated for many years.

The magistrate of xx county has raped a woman. There are already many victims, but the people are angry but dare not speak out.

Why does he know?

Because his father was robbed, he gets angry every time he thinks about it!!!

The xx county magistrate judges cases based on who pays more silver, without caring about who is right or wrong. As a result, there are a lot of false and unjust cases under his jurisdiction!

Why does he know?

Because he had lived there for half a year, he would go to the county government office every day to listen to the county magistrate judge cases, which he regarded as entertainment.

The most favorite saying of these despicable county magistrates he met was, "The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and I am the law!"

The emperor became angrier as he listened, and asked the chief steward beside him to write down all of this. He would then ask the Ministry of Personnel to investigate, and if the facts were confirmed, the person would be dismissed from office and exiled, or even beheaded!

If the water is clear, there will be no fish.

The emperor also understood this principle. It was acceptable for the officials under him to be a little greedy, form cliques, do their work perfunctorily, and have no achievements.

However, if one disregards human life, oppresses the people, and makes the people under one's rule suffer, then that is zero tolerance!

"You're a good boy!" Although the emperor was angry, he was very satisfied with Feng Niankang.

Prince Jing immediately said that he was now Mingyu's study partner, and he planned to report to his father in a few days and then let them go to Wenhua Palace for classes.

We just happened to meet here today, so I just told you.

When the emperor heard this, he immediately agreed and asked Mingyu and Feng Niankang to report to Wenhua Hall tomorrow to start classes.

Feng Niankang,...

Didn’t you say you can still hang around for another half a year???

Do I have to start getting up at Yinshi (4 a.m.) tomorrow?

Feng Niankang felt like crying. He had never gotten up so early before.

Oh, it’s going to be like this every day. It’s too difficult, too difficult.
