Professional Ethics of a Concubine

"Okay, I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well go out and take a look and stretch my muscles."

Ye Qingzhi stood up with a smile, and went to the Imperial Garden with the Crown Princess.

With her by her side, the Crown Princess didn't feel bad about dealing with the fight between Concubine Rou and Concubine De.

They were not in a hurry along the way, but walked slowly and leisurely. When they came across beautiful flowers on the way, they stopped to admire them.

"This flower has a unique color. Let them pick it and use it to paint your nails. What do you think, Qingzhi?"

Zhang Jingyi stopped in front of a bush of flowers again and asked Ye Qingzhi with a smile.

Ye Qingzhi smiled and nodded, letting her arrange it. Seeing that the Crown Princess wanted to look at flowers elsewhere, she could only urge her,

"Crown Princess, let's go check out the situation quickly."

Zhang Jingyi finally put her thoughts to rest and said as she walked forward,

"They are not stupid. They will definitely separate after hitting each other a few times. They won't fight each other too hard. I guess they are going to the side hall next door to tidy up their appearance."

Ye Qingzhi also thought it made sense and nodded.

However, Zhang Jingyi guessed half right.

The two of them did go to the side hall to tidy up their appearance. They didn't want to return to their residence with messy hair and clothes, so as not to be seen by more people.

However, both of them had bruises on their faces, either the corners of their mouths were cut, or their cheeks were bruised and their eyes were swollen.

The battle was much more intense than they had expected.

Zhang Jingyi and Ye Qingzhi arrived at the side hall and saw the miserable state of the two men. They were silent for a moment before they said in unison,

"Have you called the imperial physician?"

"Go and get the doctor."

"Replying to the Crown Princess and Concubine Ye, someone has been sent to invite the imperial physician." The eunuch beside Concubine De replied respectfully.

When De Zhaoyi and Rou Fei saw the Crown Princess and Ye Qingzhi coming over, they might have realized belatedly that they were a little embarrassed, so they half covered their faces with handkerchiefs and turned sideways, and no one spoke first.

"My two madams, you are both my elders. I was shocked to hear about this incident and came here to see if you are okay and to understand the cause and circumstances. The right and wrong of this matter will have to be decided by the emperor."

The Crown Princess spoke with a serious expression and impartiality.

After hearing what she said, Concubine Rou and Concubine De remained silent, because what the Crown Princess said made sense and they were unreasonable. After calming down, they realized they had had enough of the fuss.

When you are tired, just be honest.

If you ask again, you will regret it.

Concubine Rou regretted that she was too impulsive today, lost her mind, and did such a shameful thing. It would be so embarrassing if it got out.

But she changed her mind and realized that it was embarrassing, but with her son, the Sixth Prince, being like that, she had already been laughed at behind his back, let alone having any face!

Concubine Rou stroked her cheek, feeling the pain on her face, and let out a long sigh in frustration.

De Zhaoyi also regretted it so much that her intestines turned green. She wished she could slap her arrogant self twice more.

What are you bragging about?

If his son was implicated by her and rejected by the emperor again, it would be useless even if he cried to death.

De Zhaoyi was so worried and in pain that she really started crying.

When she cried like this, the Crown Princess and Ye Qingzhi naturally went to her first to express their concern.

"Wuwuwu... Concubine Ye, I really regret this. I was too impulsive today. Will I cause trouble for Prince Duan?"

De Zhaoyi held Ye Qingzhi's hand and asked worriedly.

"It should be affected a little bit." Ye Qingzhi said truthfully.

“Because many eunuchs in the palace want to leave the palace and go to the manor, they think that Prince Duan is in charge of this area, so they will naturally give you face.

Just now, under the order of Concubine Rou, those eunuchs did not dare to attack you. This is the reason, and you also understand that your reliance lies in this.

Therefore, the emperor might get angry about this and weaken the power of Prince Duan in this area, and even add more people to supervise Prince Duan to see if he is messing around."

De Zhaoyi's defense was immediately broken and she cried even harder.

Oh, she was wrong, she really knew she was wrong!

Why is she so angry?

When Concubine Rou heard this, she was immediately happy and felt that the beating was not in vain.

When De Zhaoyi and Prince Duan were not feeling well, she felt better!

"However, your majesty, you don't have to worry too much. Prince Duan's ability is there for all to see. Now he is on good terms with the third prince of Gulan, and he is in charge of some diplomatic activities.

Even if the emperor is dissatisfied, he will still use him. You have to persuade Prince Duan to work harder and more modestly. "

Ye Qingzhi persuaded softly again.

When De Zhaoyi heard this, she stopped crying immediately, wiped her tears and nodded, "Okay, okay, I will persuade Prince Duan later."

"Your Majesty, you should also set a good example and not act impulsively like you did today." Zhang Jingyi interjected.

"It's not easy for Prince Duan to work outside. We can't help him, but we can't make things worse and let the child worry more."

"The Crown Princess is right in her admonition." De Zhaoyi felt embarrassed to be taught this by the junior, and her old face was hot.

This time it was Concubine Rou who cried again, feeling heartbroken and uncomfortable.

Prince Duan used to be a useless prince and was not very popular with the emperor.

However, now the prince gave him the opportunity to manage the Poetry Garden Club. He himself did have some talent in this area, so he turned things around.

All in all, it was Prince Duan who had the ability and he did a good job.

Therefore, some small things can discredit him, but they cannot erase his achievements, nor can they affect his status.

Look at her Sixth Prince again. All the things he knows and is interested in are not his real job. What use are they!

Because he didn't like to talk, he was always unable to learn the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics when he was in class in Wenhua Hall, and the teacher angrily commented that he was a rotten wood that could not be carved.

Therefore, many people called him a fool behind his back, but her son was actually very smart, at least in some aspects.

The emperor doesn’t mention him... It’s better not to mention him. I guess the emperor doesn’t even remember that he has this son on a daily basis!

So, now I am seventeen years old, but I haven’t even decided on a marriage partner!

Forget about leaving the palace to build a mansion or being given a title of prince.

You can’t compare them, you really can’t compare them, as comparing them will give me a heart attack.

The more Concubine Rou thought about it, the sadder she became. She covered her eyes with a handkerchief and started crying.

Then, Zhang Jingyi and Ye Qingzhi naturally came to her side to comfort her.

At this time, the imperial physician also arrived. Because Concubine Rou was emotionally unstable and still crying, he checked Concubine De's wound first.

The wound on the face is not serious, just a minor skin injury. Apply some medicated wine and it will be healed in two days.

However, the imperial physician said that De Zhaoyi's kidney energy was gradually declining and her menstruation was about to stop, which caused her to become irritable, suffer from palpitations and insomnia, etc.

To put it bluntly, De Zhaoyi is about to stop menstruating. When she reaches menopause, she becomes easily irritable and can hardly control her temper.

De Zhaoyi quickly nodded in agreement. That was right. She just couldn't stand everything recently and her words were particularly harsh, so she had a fight with Concubine Rou.

Before this, she wouldn't have made such a fuss. She's not stupid.

After examining De Zhaoyi, the imperial physician prescribed some medicine for her, asking her to regulate the balance of yin and yang in her body and relieve her symptoms.

The imperial physician examined Concubine Rou again and also solved the case.

Concubine Rou was also feeling restless because her life was getting better, and if her sore spot was touched, she would lose control of her anger.

It's such a coincidence that menopause coincides with menstruation, which makes things flammable and explosive.

"We are all women, we are all feeling unwell, let's understand each other."

Zhang Jingyi came out to smooth things over and asked them to reconcile privately first.

When the emperor summons us later, we will all admit our mistakes and this matter will be over.

Envoys from various countries are here now. If the matter gets out, we will be embarrassed.

Following the Crown Princess' words, Concubine Rou and Concubine De also went along with it and spoke softly to the other party regardless of what they thought in their hearts.

"Sister, I was wrong just now. I said something I shouldn't have said. Don't take it to heart. I'll give you some Qingxin Pills later. Let's both take some and calm down."

Seeing that the two had reconciled, Zhang Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave with Ye Qingzhi.

"Crown Princess, Concubine Ye, please stay for now." Concubine Rou called them and said while looking at Ye Qingzhi.

“I heard that Concubine Ye has a pair of discerning eyes and an exquisite mind. She can discover the special talents of everyone, turn decay into magic, and change the fate of others.

In addition to the living example of Prince Duan, many palace maids and eunuchs in this palace are able to live a better life because of you.

I know that what I am going to ask next will be difficult, but please have pity on my heart as a mother.

Please save the Sixth Prince and see what he can do to help him live...better."

As she spoke, Concubine Rou stood up and was about to kneel down to Ye Qingzhi.

Ye Qingzhi was frightened and rushed forward, holding her up to prevent her from kneeling down.

By kneeling, you are holding yourself in a high position, with a fire burning below you. Who can bear this?

"Empress Rou, please sit down quickly. I understand your feelings as a mother and your anxiety for your son to become successful.

However, you don't need to beg me for this matter, or even kneel down. If you do this, firstly, I can't afford it, and secondly, you are asking the wrong person for help."

After Ye Qingzhi finished her seemingly evasive words, she saw that Concubine Rou was anxious to speak, so she pressed her palm to signal her not to speak.

"Don't worry, Concubine Rou. Listen to me. I did give some advice on Prince Duan's side.

However, there is a prerequisite, that is, the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hope that every prince can give full play to his strengths and contribute his own efforts to the strength of Da Zhao.

There is no need to say much about the emperor. Although he is a king, he is more of a father. He hopes that every son can succeed and that brothers can work together.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is broad-minded and never regards his brothers as rivals. He truly treats them as siblings.

The prince also wanted them to find suitable positions, give full play to their talents, and be recognized by the emperor and the people of the world.

Therefore, regarding the Sixth Prince's future path, you should ask the Emperor and the Crown Prince to get to know the Sixth Prince in detail and see what the Sixth Prince is suitable for.

At that time, if I have any ideas, I will tell the prince and he will make the decision."

After hearing these words, the weak look in Concubine Rou's eyes disappeared long ago.

In fact, although her behavior just now was sincere, it also contained a test.

From the Crown Prince’s beloved Concubine Ye, whom the Emperor calls Tutor Ye, we can find out the Emperor and the Crown Prince’s attitude towards the Sixth Prince.

Ye Qingzhi's words made Concubine Rou feel more at ease.

"Okay, thank you..." Concubine Rou was about to thank Ye Qingzhi when a voice rang out from outside.

"Okay, Master Ye, what you said is right, and it really pleases me!"

Ye Qingzhi and the others looked back and saw that the palace door was opened, and the emperor, the crown prince, and Prince Duan were standing at the door.

Ye Qingzhi,...

So, my family, the first rule of survival in the palace:

You have to use your brain at all times when you go out, and no matter what you say, don't forget to flatter your leaders and big bosses.
