Professional Ethics of a Concubine

"I won't go." Ye Qingzhi shook her head. "I don't understand war, and I'll only cause more trouble if I go."

"...Then why did Your Highness take the two children with you?" The Crown Princess said, almost gritting her teeth.

"They are younger, especially Mingyu. He is not even seven years old yet. He doesn't know anything. He is still a child. What can he do on the battlefield? What if, what if an arrow shoots at him..."

When the Crown Princess thought of that scene, she felt suffocated by fear and could not speak any more.

"Crown Princess, don't get angry. Come, have some tea to calm your temper." Ye Qingzhi quickly poured her a cup of tea and comforted her softly.

“Your Highness is not taking them with you to go to the battlefield. They will not face the bloody fighting on the battlefield, but will only stay far behind.

Princess, don't forget that the one who has been guarding the border between Chu and Zhao is the King Ying who was appointed by Emperor Gaozu at that time.

Later, with the arrangement of marriage arranged by Emperor Gaozu, the eldest princess married the legitimate son of King Ying and she has not returned for many years.

Princess, when His Highness takes Mingyu and the others over there, he will definitely let them stay in the Prince of England’s Palace or the Princess’s Palace, where they will be protected by many people.

In fact, His Highness did not ask them to go to the battlefield, but because the eldest princess has not met Mingyu and Mingyan yet, His Highness took them to recognize their relatives and meet this legitimate imperial aunt. "

His Royal Highness: You understand me! That’s how I fooled my father just now.

Princess,...

She knew about the eldest princess's affairs, but Qingzhi didn't mention it, so how could she remember it now?

"Mingyan and Mingyu really won't go to the battlefield?" the Crown Princess asked worriedly.

"Your Highness, you still have some sense of propriety. Your Highness only has these two precious legitimate children, how can you not take good care of them." Ye Qingzhi nodded heavily.

"Your Highness wants to train them as princes or princesses, so he won't let them enjoy themselves. Instead, he will take them with him and teach them personally every time he goes on a long journey."

The Crown Princess's anger was indeed not that great anymore. She sighed softly, "Qingzhi, you are good at persuading people."

Ye Qingzhi smiled, "It's good that the Crown Princess has calmed down."

"I'm no longer angry, but I'm relieved." The Crown Princess sighed again, "I'm still worried and upset."

Ye Qingzhi nodded again, "I understand."

"Only when you become a mother yourself can you experience this feeling firsthand." The Crown Princess sighed again.

"Yes, yes, yes." Ye Qingzhi agreed.

The Crown Princess glanced at her unhappily and said, "Do you think I should go with you this time?"

"It's up to you, Princess. Intellectually, it's unnecessary. You can't just keep following them wherever they go. But emotionally, I can't say anything."

Ye Qingzhi spread her hands, indicating that she was powerless and had no better suggestions.

"Yes. But they are too young." The Crown Princess frowned.

"In the eyes of their mothers, children may never grow up and are hard to let go. However, this only applies to sons.

After all, when you raise a daughter, you think from the beginning that she will marry into someone else's family, not be raised by yourself.

Anyway, as a mother, when her son is about to start a family, she has to intervene, continue to take care of his food and clothing, and train her daughter-in-law to serve her son well. She can’t let him suffer…”

Ye Qingzhi looked at the Crown Princess and said with a smile, "Is that true?"

Princess,...

No, this sounds so wrong and full of sarcasm.

But everyone thinks so, what else?

A daughter belongs to her husband's family, while a son is one's own support.

The Crown Princess and Ye Qingzhi stared at each other, and for a moment, neither of them spoke.

After a while, the Crown Princess automatically ignored this matter and asked a question that she had been avoiding for a long time.

"Qingzhi, Your Highness has been training Mingyan so much, is it true that you will choose a female emperor in the future?"

"It depends on what Your Highness wants. Whoever is more capable will take the position." Ye Qingzhi looked at the Crown Princess and said with a smile.

"The palms and backs of my hands are your beloved ones. It doesn't matter who is the emperor. You will be the queen mother in the future."

The Crown Princess stopped talking again.

Although this is true, she still feels uncomfortable. Firstly, she thinks it is a bit absurd for her daughter to be an empress. She is also afraid that her son will have objections. She is even more afraid that the two of them will turn against each other because of this.

Oh my God! She had never thought before that such a fight for the throne would happen between her two biological children!

Think about the other three children in the family. Although His Highness also raises them, he does not care about them as much as he does Mingyu and Mingyan.

Besides, they were still young and couldn't see anything, let alone be a threat to her two children.

By the way, there is Qingzhi, she doesn’t have any children yet!

Although she was several years late in having children, as long as His Highness lived long enough and reigned long enough, there would be... endless possibilities.

For example, if Your Highness abdicates when he is in his sixties, Qingzhi's children will surely be adults by then!

At that time, will you fight again?

She believed what Qingzhi said and did not support her children in fighting. The world outside was indeed vast, but sometimes a mother's unwillingness to fight did not mean that her children would not fight either.

When Qingzhi and His Highness' child was born, His Highness loved Qingzhi so much, how could he not favor her child?

It is normal to love your youngest child, especially when he is born to your beloved woman.

By then... Of course, Mingyu and Mingyan will have grown up, in their teens, and will be much better. They will know not to compete for favors with their younger brothers and sisters.

But, can human nature never feel resentful?

The Crown Princess shuddered when she thought of this. She was surprised and ashamed of her inner thoughts.

What is she thinking? Without Qingzhi's help, how could she have such a comfortable life now!

The Crown Princess despised herself.

"Qingzhi, I, I remembered that I have something else to do, so I'll leave first..." The Crown Princess stood up and almost ran away.

Ye Qingzhi pulled her sleeve, stood up, winked at her playfully, and said with a smile,

"Princess Consort, look at you. You are so happy that you have lost your mind thinking about your two excellent children. This is your room. You have to be busy. It is me who should leave."

The Crown Princess laughed awkwardly twice and her face turned red. She felt embarrassed and even more ashamed. She wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Ye Qingzhi left with a smile on her face, pretending she knew nothing and hadn't seen anything.

Who can be a saint? People are selfish, especially mothers for their children.

When someone infringes upon the interests of her child, a mother will subconsciously stand up, no matter who the person is, even if he is her closest relative, the child's biological father.

-

As spring turns to summer, the weather is getting hotter.

The prince and his companions were also about to set out for the south. They would have to take a boat for most of the journey, which would take a month.

The night before leaving, Ye Qingzhi was ready to work overtime.

After all, the prince will be gone for a long time, and we may not see each other again for half a year or even a year.

However, after the two demons had a fight, the prince no longer wanted it.

Ye Qingzhi chatted with him in a random manner, secretly wondering whether the prince was really cultivating his character, or if he was just too tired recently and not feeling well.

Ye Qingzhi was just thinking about some yellow waste when she heard the prince ask her,

"Qingqing, you really don't want to go south with me?"

Ye Qingzhi,...

It turned out that the prince had not given up, or had changed his mind, and wanted her to go south with him.

Ye Qingzhi shook her head again and again without saying anything. She just leaned in his arms and looked at him with her big watery eyes. Her meaning was very clear.

How could you bear to take me there to suffer?

Xie Jin, ...

Don't think that you can just act like a spoiled child like this.

What kind of heartless little devil has he fallen in love with?

If it were an ordinary woman, and he doted on her so much and treated her like this, her heart would definitely fall in love with him and not want to be separated from him, or she would be worried about him and afraid that he would favor other women after being away for so long.

"You can stay in the Princess's residence. We are not asking you to go to the battlefield."

Xie Jin touched her little face and coaxed her to follow him in a pitiful way.

"I said before that I couldn't let you go, I was just being generous. But then I thought about it and realized that if I went, I might not be able to come back for a year.

You are far away in Beijing, I miss you, but I can't see you. It's so painful.

If you stayed after the war and I missed you, I could just ride a horse for a day and see you, and it would be a completely different feeling.

Qingqing, how can you be so cruel, you have really changed, you were not like this before..."

As he spoke, Xie Jin held her in his arms and rubbed her neck.

Ye Qingzhi,...

Leader, you know your image is ruined!

Don't play the pitiful role here.

She is not a power bank or a human-shaped pendant that will follow you wherever you go.

Ye Qingzhi touched his head and rubbed his hair until it became a bird's nest.

Although she was complaining in her heart about Xie Jin's character collapse and his increasingly shameless and unmannerly attitude in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little shaken after hearing what he said.

To take a step back and not talk about feelings or love, she still has to talk about professional ethics.

He had made a big promise before that he would not let her go, but now he has changed his mind. Isn't this normal?

There is no leader who really keeps his word, especially when it comes to providing benefits to employees and making big promises to them. They always fool people at first and then go back on their word.

The most heartfelt moment for a leader is when he is unable to pay wages and tries to beg you to stick with the company and overcome the difficulties together by playing the victim.

Just like her Crown Prince now, she really felt that he was sincere in what he said and really wanted her to go with him.

"Xiaokang is going with you too. Aren't you worried about him?" Xie Jin said again.

"It's okay. The child has grown up and we have to let go." Ye Qingzhi continued.

"The emperor issued an imperial decree asking you to join the army, but you refused to go?" Xie Jin used his trump card.

"When did this happen?" Ye Qingzhi pushed his head away speechlessly.

"Your Highness, if you give me an order, I will follow you obediently. There is no need for the emperor to intervene. You are really..."

The rest was too indecent, so Ye Qingzhi didn’t say anything.

"Because I want you to accompany me as Master Ye, not as my favorite concubine." Xie Jin regained his composure and said seriously.

Concubine Ye and Tutor Ye have completely different meanings.

Ye Qingzhi understood his intentions and agreed directly.

"That's fine. But I haven't packed my luggage yet."

"Everything is packed." Xie Jin smiled slightly and said in a friendly manner, "I think I've thought it through very carefully, dear. Why don't you praise me?"

Ye Qingzhi,...

This strong sense of déjà vu, what on earth is going on?

Why do I feel like I am being created by myself?
