Professional Ethics of a Concubine

The Ninth Princess was also confused. She stared at Ye Qingzhi blankly, and asked,

"Are you trying to incite me to rebel? To make me join the Great Zhao camp completely and help the Great Zhao destroy my country?"

"Yes, and I believe that with your intelligence, you can definitely see our prince's ambition and his real intention of supporting your brother to return to the country and seize the throne."

Ye Qingzhi confronted her directly.

"You should know your brother better than us. He is too gentle. Even if he sits on the throne, he cannot change the current situation of Dayan.

Because his courage was not enough to suppress those greedy Dayan nobles, and he did not have such a broad mind to change the status of Dayan women.

But our prince can!

You have been in Da Zhao for several months now. You should be able to see that our Emperor and Crown Prince are undoubtedly wise rulers.

They care about the people of Da Zhao and have even more in mind the lives of all people in the world. They want to unify the world so that there will be no wars and the people will be prosperous and happy, not to rob resources or enslave the people of other countries to satisfy their own selfish desires.

They will not blindly oppress women, nor will they treat women as commodities for bearing children and enjoying pleasure. Instead, they will take concrete measures step by step to improve the status of women and give us women economic rights and the right to speak.

They are the superiors who share the same goals as you. You should break the limited concept of family and country, stand with them, fight back against the patriarchy that oppresses you, and save your sisters.

Ninth Princess, do you agree with what I said?"

The Ninth Princess was deeply moved by Ye Qingzhi's words. When she met Ye Qingzhi's clear and bright eyes, she could not help but nodded.

Yes, she agreed. Every word was right and touched her heart.

She even suspected that she was being monitored by Ye Qingzhi, and then she talked in her sleep at night and spoke out her thoughts, which were heard by her.

But, but, and yet...is she really going to be a traitor?

She was a princess of Dayan, not an oppressed lower-class citizen of Dayan. She could understand that they wanted to overthrow the imperial power of Dayan.

However, as Ye Qingzhi said, what she wants to overthrow is patriarchy, not imperial power. I feel...she is more powerful!

When she died and went to hell, if there really was a hell, the ancestors of the Yan royal family would probably want to strangle her to death again when they knew her crimes.

However, the Crown Prince's concubine has laid it bare to her. If she doesn't agree, will she be silenced?

So, in order to survive, she had no choice but to surrender. She was just a little woman and couldn't fight against the powerful Zhao. What else could she do? She was also desperate.

For this reason, I hope our ancestors can be less angry.

"Even if I agree, I think there's a limit to what I can do." The Ninth Princess had actually made up her mind, but she just said so.

"No, there are many things you can do. For a smart person like you, even if you are a woman, our prince will not waste your talent."

Ye Qingzhi smiled and gave her a series of tranquilizer pills.

"Look at me, I was personally appointed as Master Ye by the Emperor, and look at Ling Yue, who is also in charge of the State Banquet Garden alone. The Crown Prince has also promised you that after you get married, he will let you be in charge of the trade between the two countries and other matters.

Now that you are willing to join our Great Zhao, the Crown Prince will entrust you with other important tasks in the future."

"Aren't you afraid that I will go back and tell my brother and father? Do you trust me so much?" The Ninth Princess looked at Ye Qingzhi and asked.

"You said that I trust you 100% now, but that's not the case." Ye Qingzhi said with a smile.

"But I'm not afraid of you telling your father and brother that Great Zhao has the ambition to annex Great Yan. This is obvious, and it won't have a big impact whether you say it or not.

If you tell them that Da Zhao wants to subvert you, what do you think they will say? If they ask you to pretend to agree and become a double agent, will they really trust you? "

The Ninth Princess immediately shook her head.

"My father would not take me seriously, let alone believe what I say. To be honest, I would be happy to overthrow my father's rule and trample those warlike nobles of Dayan into the mud."

Ling Yue couldn't help but give her a thumbs up, but still couldn't help but say, "You, you were turned against me like this?"

"Did I not struggle enough?" The Ninth Princess smiled sheepishly and said in a low voice.

"In fact, I have had this thought for a long time. Qingzhi just peeped into my heart and expressed it for me.

Alas, if I am too willing to do such a treasonous thing, it will seem that I am a little heartless to Dayan. I think I should pretend a little.

But from what you said, I still didn't pretend enough. I should have shown more of my struggles and said I would think about it for a few more days. But I was afraid that if I said that, I would miss the opportunity or even get killed. "

Ling Yue,...

Okay, sister, you are really as awesome as Qingzhi!

Ye Qingzhi looked at her with a smile, took her hand and shook it vigorously, "You will not regret your choice today."

"I think so too." The Ninth Princess smiled. "I hope that in ten years, through our efforts, we can really improve the situation of women, and I can start to consider having children."

"Ten years later, things will definitely change. By then you will be only 27 years old. Your body will be at the right age to have a baby." Ye Qingzhi said with a smile.

"Having children too early will actually cause more harm to our female bodies."

"Then... I'll wait three or four years before having a child." Princess Ling Yue fantasized happily.

"Although giving birth to a child is risky and painful, I feel very happy when I think about having a child who might be like Yunyan and me..."

After saying this, Ling Yue met Ye Qingzhi and the Ninth Princess' smiling and blessing eyes, and couldn't help shaking his head, and said,

"Oh, forget it. If I tell you two women who are too sober, you will definitely not understand and will say that I am obsessed with men."

"That's definitely not the case. We are very envious." Ye Qingzhi immediately smiled and shook her head, "Seeing you so happy and sweet, we are also happy."

"Yes, yes, yes. It's good to see friends around you happy, even though I can't enjoy the happiness myself." The Ninth Princess nodded and said with a smile.

Ling Yue,...

She must be under a lot of pressure then.

What if her marriage is unhappy one day, wouldn’t she be bearing the disappointment of three people?

bah bah bah.

She doesn't curse herself, her marriage is sweet.

The prince was not surprised at all when he learned that Ye Qingzhi had instigated the Ninth Princess to rebel, but he was certainly pleasantly surprised. Moreover, he began to order the Ninth Princess around without any hesitation and asked her to take up the post immediately.

On her first day on the job, at the request of the Crown Prince, the Ninth Princess submitted a list of the nobles of Dayan and their general preferences.

On the fourth day after taking office, the Ninth Princess received feedback from the Crown Prince, who asked her to come up with a plan to sow discord among the nobles. She was asked to write down some ideas on how to use sugar and other things to intensify the conflicts among the nobles.

On the seventh day after taking office, the Ninth Princess submitted her plan. The Crown Prince was very satisfied after reading it and said to Ye Qingzhi,

"This Ninth Princess is indeed intelligent. After she gets married, we will have her travel more between the two countries. Having her instigate in the middle will help our peaceful evolution plan go more smoothly."

Ye Qingzhi,...

Traveling between the two countries more often, with such intensity of work and business trips, she feels a little guilty towards the Ninth Princess!

"However, the plan she submitted is still a little too immature. It's obvious that she has never been involved in a real power struggle. I need to find someone to guide her and let her revise it."

The prince said again.

Ye Qingzhi,...

Is it really appropriate to ask others to modify the plan for you at this time?

Ten days later, the ninth princess will be getting married. Prince, please be a human being and let her get married comfortably first. After the marriage, she can go back to work.

-

Hall.

"Han Yan, what have you been busy with recently? You have dark circles under your eyes. Are you too nervous about getting married and can't sleep at night?"

The Seventh Prince looked at his sister's dark circles and asked in confusion.

"...Well, I am a little nervous indeed." The Ninth Princess looked at the book in her hand without raising her head and said perfunctorily.

"Han Yan, if you want to read a storybook, just read it. Why are you trying to cover it up by making a book cover like Records of the Grand Historian..."

The Seventh Prince leaned over to take a look at the contents, and his eyes widened in surprise. He asked in disbelief,

"My sister, why are you really reading Historical Records?"

The Ninth Princess put down the book, looked at him seriously and said, "Brother, I regret this a little bit."

"Do you regret the marriage?" The Seventh Prince looked at her worriedly.

The Ninth Princess shook her head, revealing an expression of wanting to cry but not having tears. She shook her head and sighed.

"Alas, my royal brother, it turns out that it is so hard to do something big. I regret that I was young and ignorant, and had lofty ambitions. I got on a pirate ship, and now I can't get off."

The Seventh Prince,

What is this?
