Professional Ethics of a Concubine

The empress read the letter from beginning to end. Although it was all about her son, no matter how she read it, every sentence revealed two words -

provocative!

A naked provocation!

After reading the letter, the empress couldn't help but frown and wanted to drag the Emperor of Great Zhao who wrote the letter out and give him thirty lashes!

After taking a few deep breaths, the empress got rid of her unnecessary anger and felt that the man was really childish for actually thinking of provoking and retaliating against her in this way.

Ah.

The empress curled her lips in a sneer and immediately picked up a pen to write a reply, asking him to write more since he was so good at writing.

She wanted to see what else he could write.

-

Great Zhao.

The envoys from Gulan also left, leaving only Dayan.

In order to finalize the marriage between the two countries, the Yan delegation remained here.

A few days ago, the King of Dayan also sent a letter to confirm the marriage between the two countries and designated the princess to be married as the Ninth Princess.

As for the candidate, the King of Dayan only said that his princess must not be wronged, but he did not say that she must marry the prince.

As for the Ninth Princess, she had already obtained the information of more than a dozen marriage candidates from Ye Qingzhi, so after nearly a month of selection, secret observation, and personal contact, she finally decided on the marriage candidate.

"What?! Sister, after choosing so many times, why did you choose him? Xie Yu is obviously better."

After the Seventh Prince knew the candidate his sister had chosen, he frowned and asked unhappily.

I have met the man my sister chose, named Xie Zimo, twice. He is really as his name suggests, a very quiet person. He won't speak unless you ask him. He is very silent.

Moreover, his conditions were the worst among the royal relatives, and his family had no close relationship with the emperor's branch.

He only has one sister as a relative, and his parents are both gone. Before he was chosen, the clan members had almost forgotten about his existence.

With this configuration, you can say that he has a hard life and is unlucky for both his father and mother.

"My brother, he is a quiet man who doesn't talk too much, which complements my personality. I like to talk, and he is good at listening. He always answers my questions, which makes me very satisfied.

Moreover, he is well-educated, polite, and calm. He is not the kind of kid who feels particularly good about himself, looks up to others, and speaks with a sense of superiority. Just looking at him makes people want to punch him. "

The Ninth Princess thought of her several encounters with Xie Zimo, her eyes lit up and she said with a smile,

"Besides, he is also very handsome. What satisfies me most is that his parents have passed away. If I marry him, I won't have to pay respects to my mother-in-law.

Although I am a princess and a bit tough, and I don't need to pay my respects every day, but he is the elder after all and he has to be superior to me, so I have to be considerate in everything I do.

How good it is now. I married him, and he got the title of prince because of me. So what if he didn't have any property before, he will have it in the future.

There is only one sister in the family, not a brother. When she reaches the age, she can get married. There is not even anyone to divide the family property and fight for the title. Alas, the cleanliness of the house makes me feel a little boring. "

The Seventh Prince,

How come the things he thought were bad became good things and advantages when they came into his sister's mouth?

However, after listening to his sister's words, he felt that it seemed to be the case.

Then Xie Zimo is indeed a good candidate. He is a good match for my sister in every aspect and makes her worry-free. He is a good brother-in-law.

"Is it settled then? It's him?" The Seventh Prince asked her again, wanting to confirm with her.

The Ninth Princess smiled and nodded.

"Okay, then I will go to the prince tomorrow and explain to him that we should settle the marriage between the two countries as soon as possible, and then determine the date of your wedding."

The Seventh Prince said,

"The Chinese New Year is only a month and a half away. This year I will spend the New Year with you in Dazhao, but from now on you will have to spend the New Year here by yourself."

The Seventh Prince looked at his sister worriedly. He felt so distressed when he thought that she would be here in the future without any relatives around her. He was worried that she would not eat well or sleep well, and that she would be bullied.

"Brother, don't worry. Although I have no relatives, I have a husband and a new home after I get married.

Although I was married off as a foreign prince, the Great Zhao allowed me to choose a husband who was fairly pleasing to me, so I could look forward to my married life.

Great Zhao is not a barbaric land. On the contrary, it is more prosperous and wealthy than Great Yan. It is a place that values ​​etiquette and law. It is also a place I like. You can just think of me as marrying far away for pleasure, and don’t think of me as being forced into marriage.”

The Ninth Princess hugged the Seventh Prince's arm and shook it coquettishly, telling him not to worry, and then smiled and said,

"Master Ye of the Great Zhao, Princess Ling Yue, they are all friends I can make friends with, and there is also the dignified and kind Crown Princess. With them around, I don't feel lonely."

"How come after coming to Da Zhao, you are so talkative, blah blah blah. I can't argue with you at all, and I still think what you say is reasonable."

The Seventh Prince looked at his sister and once again suspected that she was much smarter than he thought.

"That's right." The Ninth Princess smiled, revealing two dimples, and said coquettishly, "My royal brother is not as reasonable as me, so of course he can't win the argument with me."

The Seventh Prince glared at her lightly and didn't want to argue with her anymore because he couldn't win.

"Let's go, call General Wei, and go to the manor for dinner." said the seventh prince.

"Has General Wei thought about it? Has he agreed to follow my brother and be your personal bodyguard?" The Ninth Princess asked curiously.

General Wei was born in the countryside and his name was Wei Shitou. This name was too rustic, so the Ninth Princess and others would rather call him General Wei than Wei Shitou.

Once this name is called out, it will destroy General Wei's prestige and make people just want to laugh out loud.

I wanted to change his name, but he was stubborn and refused to change it. The reasons he gave were so good that I couldn't vent my anger or refute them.

He said he was afraid that if he changed his name and died in the underworld, his dead brothers would not be able to find him or recognize him, and would blame him even more.

The Seventh Prince could do nothing but stare at him and just let him do what he wanted.

Knowing that he was good at martial arts and could defeat four generals under Prince Su alone, the Ninth Princess suggested that her brother take General Wei as his personal bodyguard.

After the emperor's elder brother returned to the State of Yan, he wanted to compete with the prince for the throne. What he needed to guard against most was being assassinated by the prince's men, rather than playing tricks.

With General Wei, a man with great martial arts skills, security will be greatly improved.

"He refused to agree at first, but after the crown prince met him and talked to him, he agreed." The Seventh Prince said a little depressed.

He was obviously a general of Dayan and also a prince of Dayan. Why did he have to rely on the prince of Dayan to lobby for the heart of a general?

If this matter were to get out, who would believe it? The Seventh Prince only talked about it with his sister and never mentioned it to anyone else. He kept it absolutely confidential.

"What did the prince say to him?" the ninth princess asked curiously.

"The prince said that if our current prince of Dayan were to become the ruler of Dayan, the two countries would surely go to war again, and the war would only be more brutal than before, with more people dying.

If you want peace between the two countries and want to end the suffering, help me get rid of the current crown prince and let me be the king. He also promised that after he becomes the emperor of Zhao, he will not start a large-scale war and harm the innocent people of the two countries. "

The Seventh Prince said in some confusion,

"This is indeed true, but it's nothing, the Crown Prince of Zhao didn't promise to give him an official title or a noble title.

However, General Wei agreed after hearing this, saying that he was willing to work for me and help me win the throne, and he only hoped that I could keep my word and maintain peace between the two countries in the future. "

The Ninth Princess nodded thoughtfully, and then thought about her own situation. She seemed to have vaguely grasped some of the tricks that the Crown Prince of Zhao used to win people's hearts.

But not everyone can use this routine.

"Brother, while you are still in Da Zhao, you should visit the Crown Prince more often and learn a thing or two from him."

The Ninth Princess gave her brother sincere advice.

"Is this appropriate?" The Seventh Prince felt strange.

"We have the same goal. We are allies, so we should have a close relationship. It's very suitable." The Ninth Princess said with a smile.

"Brother, don't be shy. Be thick-skinned so that you can get more benefits from the Crown Prince of Zhao. When you return to Dayan, you will have more bargaining chips to compete with you, my brother."

The eldest brother is the current Crown Prince of Dayan.

The Seventh Prince agreed because he could feel the huge gap between himself and the Crown Prince of Great Zhao.

There is no shame in learning from the strong.

only……

"Sister, the Crown Prince of Great Zhao is such a talented person, does he really have no ambition to annex other countries?"

The Seventh Prince was silent for a moment, then frowned and asked.

The Ninth Princess smiled, shook her head and said,

"Brother, why do you want to think so far ahead? You should become the emperor of Dayan first before you worry about this."

"You just know how to escape." The Seventh Prince shook his head helplessly.

The ninth princess smiled coquettishly. Escaping is shameful but useful!

-

East Palace.

"The Ninth Princess has chosen the person to marry, and it's Xie Zimo." Xie Jin was a little confused and said to Ye Qingzhi,

"This Xie Zimo looks okay, has no eloquence, can't coax people, and has no relatives or friends. Other things are pretty standard."

"The Ninth Princess has good taste." Ye Qingzhi said something similar to what the Ninth Princess said. If she were asked to choose, she would also choose Xie Zimo.

She and the Ninth Princess are like-minded and can spend more time together in the future. It may be difficult for them to become close friends due to the relationship between the two countries, but they can still talk.

After hearing her words, Xie Jin couldn't help but be silent for a moment, feeling that the approach points of men and women are really different.

"When is the wedding date set?" Ye Qingzhi asked, "Is Xie Zimo to be crowned as a prince?"

"Let's make him a prince first. I haven't seen any special talents in him yet. If he is really talented, he can be made a prince in a few years." Xie Jin said.

"Let the Imperial Astronomical Observatory calculate their birth dates and choose an auspicious date after the beginning of spring next year for the wedding."

Ye Qingzhi nodded. It was almost the end of the year, and their royal family also had a happy event to celebrate, that of Princess Ling Yue and Prime Minister Fang.

The two of them finally got married, and their wedding date was exactly half a month later on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Ye Qingzhi was happy for them from the bottom of her heart. Seeing others happy made her feel happy too.

But... Ye Qingzhi didn't expect that she would have to be her teacher.

The day before Ling Yue’s wedding.

"Qingzhi, I'm getting married tomorrow. I'm so nervous. Please help me."

Ling Yue ran to Ye Qingzhi, held her hand tightly, and said nervously.

"...How can I help you get married? What can I help you with?" Ye Qingzhi asked her in confusion.

Forgive her, she has no experience in marriage, only the experience of the bridal chamber.

If you ask her about the wedding procedures and things to pay attention to, she knows nothing about it. You have to ask the nanny who is in charge of wedding ceremonies about this.

"I heard that women feel a lot of pain during the wedding night. My nanny and mother told me that I just need to bear with it and it will pass. The more they say that, the more nervous I get. Do you have any good ideas?"

Ling Yue asked in a low voice with a red face.

Kissing and hugging are so comfortable, and the books also talk about the joy of love and the ultimate happiness on earth. But when it comes to the bridal chamber, it is just something to be endured when it comes to the mother and the nanny.

Ling Yue didn't understand, and they didn't explain it clearly. If she asked again, she would understand it then.

What? He stopped talking halfway. It was so annoying. It made her even more nervous.

Ye Qingzhi,...

But the solution to the bridal chamber issue is not enough for women alone; the cooperation of men is also needed.
