Professional Ethics of a Concubine

East Palace.

When Ye Qingzhi came back on horseback, she found that the prince had already returned from outside.

Xie Jin looked at her returning in her red riding suit, and couldn't help but feel his eyes brightened. He smiled and said,

"This riding suit looks great. Make two more."

"I don't ride horses very often, so four or five sets are enough. I can't wear more, and it would be a waste to keep them in the closet."

Ye Qingzhi naturally took over the conversation, then spun around and jumped into his arms, hugged his neck and kissed him, smiling sweetly, like a long-lost little vixen.

"Your Highness, do you like this dress of mine? How beautiful is it? Do you want me to keep wearing it, or do you want me to take it off?"

Xie Jin, ...

He couldn't believe that he could still receive such treatment now?

He was so happy after going out for a ride? Are you in the mood to coax him to have some fun?

Xie Jin's eyes showed surprise, and his mind was full of messy thoughts, but it did not stop him from picking up this little devil and telling her with his actions which one he liked.

When the maids such as Ruyi Chunyu in the room saw this scene, they hurriedly lowered their heads and left, closed the door for their masters, and then went to prepare water for their masters to bathe later.

When Nanny Zhang heard the young palace maid come to report that her master had returned, she stood up and came over because she had some good news to tell her master.

The eldest lady of the Ye family gave birth today. Someone from the Ye family just now came to announce the good news, saying that the eldest lady successfully gave birth to a boy, weighing more than six kilograms, and both mother and child are safe.

However, just as she passed through the courtyard gate, Nanny Zhang saw Ruyi standing far outside the gate. She also stopped and waved to Ruyi. When Ruyi came closer, she asked in a low voice,

"Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also in there?"

"I'm here." Ruyi lowered her voice, her face slightly red as she said, "The masters are in high spirits and it's not easy to disturb them."

Nanny Zhang smiled, looked at Ruyi and joked, "What's there to be ashamed of? You've served the master for so long and you're still so shameless."

"Madam, I'm still a grown girl after all." Ruyi couldn't help but glare at Madam Zhang. What's wrong with being a little shy?

"You are indeed a grown-up girl, and it's time for you to get married. Do you have someone you like? Tell the master and he will marry you off quickly." Nanny Zhang asked her with a smile.

Ruyi shook her head more and more shyly, "Mammy, the master said that I can stay until I am twenty before getting married, and I am only eighteen this year."

"Then I'll listen to the master." Nanny Zhang immediately changed her tone and said seriously,

"A woman may not live a comfortable life after getting married. It is better for her to stay with her master."

As one wishes,……

Mammy, which of your words are true and which are false?

Even if we're just chatting casually, can you please be more sincere when you say it?

-

After the fight between the demons, both Xie Jin and Ye Qingzhi sweated a lot. After taking a bath and washing off the stickiness on their bodies, they felt comfortable.

"Your Highness, I'm so hungry. Please get up and tell someone to serve the meal."

Ye Qingzhi was so tired and hungry that she collapsed on the bed, too lazy to move. She pushed Xie Jin beside her and told him to stop lying down and go call for help.

"Get up, I just gave the order, and the meal will be ready by now."

As soon as Xie Jin finished speaking, Chunyu's voice was heard outside, informing Ye Qingzhi and the others that dinner was ready.

Ye Qingzhi immediately stood up, hugged Xie Jin and kissed him, smiling and praising him, "Your Highness, you are so thoughtful. I am not smart enough to remember it just now."

Xie Jin smiled and scratched her little nose, "You look so tired, how about I carry you over?"

"No, no, I'm not that tired yet." Ye Qingzhi immediately let go of him, jumped off the bed, stepped on the soft blanket in front of the bed and slowly put on her shoes.

"Did you encounter anything interesting while riding your horse today?" Xie Jin put on his shoes and asked as he walked out with her in his arms.

"Today, I heard the Ninth Princess complain about the relationship between her and her husband. I found it quite interesting." Ye Qingzhi smiled and briefly told Xie Jin, and finally said,

"Ling Yue also said that we couldn't figure out why Xie Zimo was upset, and hoped that His Highness could come forward and talk to Xie Zimo to find out what he was thinking."

"...Princess Nine doesn't want to have children?" Xie Jin raised his eyebrows, then looked at Ye Qingzhi and said, "No wonder you two get along so well. It turns out that you...have the same ideals."

Ye Qingzhi had reason to suspect that the leader paused just now because he wanted to say that people of similar tastes are birds of a feather.

hum.

When it comes to having children, no matter how much men respect women, they can never fully understand what women have to go through and endure.

Unless one day a uterus grows on their body, allowing them to personally experience the pain and sorrow of childbirth and feeding, most men will not say things like, "It's just giving birth to a child. What woman doesn't give birth to a child? Giving birth is not only hard for you, but it's also hard for me to take care of you and your child and work. Am I not good enough for you?" and so on.

There is nothing we can do about it. As the saying goes, don’t advise others to do good without first experiencing their suffering.

Between men and women, because only women can give birth to children, and because giving birth is a painful process, it can easily lead to intensified conflicts between men and women, as well as various contradictions in marriage.

There is no solution to this problem. We can only say that both parties need tolerance and understanding, and both parties need to make sacrifices and give. If you are unwilling to make concessions and give, then don't get married and don't have children.

Ye Qingzhi snorted in response to his words, sat down at the table, started eating immediately, and ignored him.

Xie Jin also sat down and started eating next to her, picking up the dishes she liked for her. When they were almost done, he spoke,

"What do you think? Do you want me to go talk to Xie Zimo?"

"I don't care. Maybe things will get better as the couple adjust to each other. For things like this, even if you are the Crown Prince, you may not be able to find out the truth."

Ye Qingzhi also put down her chopsticks and said to Xie Jin with a smile,

"Your Highness, why don't you give Xie Zimo some things to do and assess his character more?"

"I have arranged some work for Xie Zimo." Xie Jin said.

"However, from what you said, these two may have some feelings for each other. The Ninth Princess is my right-hand man. She is living comfortably in Da Zhao, so she has the energy to overthrow Da Yan. I still have to intervene."

When Ye Qingzhi heard what her leader said, she couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. This approach was absolutely right.

The issue of the Ninth Princess's marital life is not a matter of love at all, but a major issue between the two countries.

No problem, no problem.

"Your Highness is absolutely right!" Ye Qingzhi immediately expressed his support.

"The most frightening thing for a couple is a lack of communication. Even if they have feelings for each other, they will disappear in constant cold wars and misunderstandings. Only by talking it out and expressing the grievances in their hearts can they make their relationship closer."

Xie Jin nodded in approval.

The reason why he and Ye Qingzhi got along so well was because she did not hide anything from him in the beginning. If she only had intelligence and talent, but did not have a mouth that spoke the truth and was eloquent, he would not like her so much and be so dependent on her company.

The two of them had almost finished talking and were full, so they prepared to get up and go out for a walk to help digest the food.

At this time, Aunt Zhang appeared again and told Ye Qingzhi with a smile that Feng Shengxue had safely given birth to a boy.

"Wow! This is such a great joyous event! Aunt Zhang, quickly get some more things from my storeroom and have someone send them to the Ye residence as gifts. Tell them that I will also be there for the baby's third-day baptism."

When Ye Qingzhi heard the good news, she immediately smiled, raised her voice, and gave instructions happily over and over again.

Nanny Zhang agreed with a smile, then left to prepare.

"Your mother's family has a happy event, so I should give you something as a reward." Xie Jin said to Ye Qingzhi, "I won't give you a reward today. I'll wait until the third day of the baby's birth."

"Okay, thank you, Your Highness." Ye Qingzhi saluted him with a smile, but it was a bit perfunctory. It was more like a joke than gratitude.

"You are so happy to hear about other people's babies being born, it doesn't mean you hate children." Xie Jin smiled and held her little hand, "Do you hate having your own children so much?"

"It's not hate, it's fear, it's terror." Ye Qingzhi shook her head at him seriously, correcting him and telling him her true thoughts.

Their identities were too unequal before, so it was impossible to discuss this in detail. She could only muddle through and say something perfunctorily like "life, life, life".

However, now that Xie Jin trusted her and gave her his true heart, he put her on a relatively equal position.

So they can discuss the issue of having children like ordinary couples, and she can also express her true thoughts.

When a man is in a position of power, whether you admit it or not, you cannot control your own reproductive rights.

Ye Qingzhi told Xie Jin similar words that she had said to the Ninth Princess and the others that day. She also conveyed the Ninth Princess's thoughts to Xie Jin, so that he could communicate with Xie Zimo later.

After Xie Jin listened, he was silent for a moment and then asked her, "What can I do to help you reduce this fear and make your expectations for your child stronger than your fear and pain?"
