Professional Ethics of a Concubine

"Mother, why did you come out in person?" Prince An hurried to her side, pushed aside the maid beside her, held her arm in person, and said with concern,

"The wind is a bit strong today, and you are weak..."

"My body is not that delicate." The eldest princess frowned and interrupted his chatter with some displeasure.

Although she is already fifty years old and not in good health, she still cannot conceal the heroism and majesty in her eyes and eyebrows.

Ye Qingzhi also knew this eldest princess. When she was young, she was also a heroine who took up arms and went to the battlefield to fight the enemy.

Ling Yue has mentioned many times before that her idol is the eldest princess and her aunt, and she hopes that one day she can go to the battlefield and kill enemies like her.

In her previous life, because she was not with Prime Minister Fang, Ling Yue did come to the battlefield here, but she also stayed here forever.

"Nephew pays respect to the Imperial Aunt." Xie Jin stepped forward to greet her, and said apologetically but cordially:

"My nephew was busy talking and was delayed at the door. I had to trouble the royal aunt to go out and greet you. If my father knew about this, I would definitely be scolded when I return."

The princess smiled when she heard this, and looked at him carefully. She became more and more satisfied with this nephew of the crown prince, and said with a smile,

"It's not your fault. I guessed you were coming, and I was so excited that I couldn't wait to come out and see you. When I got to the door, I heard what you said just now, and I couldn't help but get even more excited.

You are the prince, you can say such words, you can have such cognition, I believe that this ancestral foundation, this great Zhao country, will only get better and better in your hands!"

"I, your nephew, would like to thank the Royal Aunt for her recognition and praise. I will certainly work harder and live up to your expectations!" Xie Jin said as he bowed to her.

The princess was even more satisfied when she heard that he did not refuse but responded in this way. She slapped her son's hand away, took two steps forward, held Xie Jin's arm, and said lovingly with a smile,

"Good boy, Auntie likes people like you who are capable and honest. Let's go back to the mansion and talk it over. And you children, come in together and we will slowly recognize each other."

Xie Jin agreed with a smile.

Prince An looked at his own hand that was patted, then looked at Crown Prince Xie Jin who was supporting his mother and talking to her affectionately, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

On the first day, his own son fell out of favor? !

Prince An sorted out his feelings and ignored the aunt and nephew who were walking in front. Instead, he looked at the children behind him and greeted Xie Hongbao, who was more familiar with him.

"Hongbao, you've grown so tall, why have you become so shy? You don't even call me cousin."

"Hello, cousin." Xie Hongbao greeted him.

"Be good." Prince An rubbed his head and felt sorry for him when he thought about his experience.

His father was the former crown prince, and he used to be the crown prince. However, he now only has the title of a prince, and has to make a living under the current crown prince Xie Jin.

Prince An thought it was outrageous that Xie Hongbao came here with the prince. Then, looking at Mingyu and Mingyan next to him, he couldn't help but understand and realize it.

Xie Hongbao must be used as a whetstone. He will definitely be sharpened and bullied by Mingyu. Tsk tsk, how pitiful.

However, Prince An soon felt a pain on his face.

As Mingyu was walking, he was busy looking at the surrounding scenery and didn't pay attention to his feet. He tripped on the stone steps and was about to fall. Xie Hongbao quickly supported him and started to teach him a lesson.

"Don't look around when you walk, pay attention to your steps."

"I understand, Brother Hongbao, I was wrong." Mingyu admitted her mistake obediently.

Everyone else was used to this, and seeing that Mingyu was fine, no one took it seriously and continued walking forward.

Prince An, "???"

Being bullied?

Small poor?

How come this is different from the script he imagined?

No, Xie Hongbao, you are a deposed crown prince, how can you still have such a high status?

Prince An scratched his head and was confused again.

-

Everyone arrived at the flower hall. After the eldest princess sat down, the prince introduced everyone to her one by one with a smile.

The first person to be introduced is naturally Ye Qingzhi.

"Aunt, she is Ye Qingzhi, my concubine, tutor, and military advisor.

Because she was extremely intelligent, knowledgeable, had a broad vision, and knew how to use people, her father recognized her abilities and personally appointed her as Taifu Ye.

People like Prince Duan, Ling Yue, and the Sixth Prince, all found their positions because of her, had the opportunity to give full play to their strengths, and contribute to the strength of our Great Zhao.

This time, because I was busy with the war and could not discipline these children wholeheartedly, I asked her, Master Ye, to discipline them personally.

Along the way, the children were well disciplined by her, benefited a lot, and grew and improved rapidly.

Qingzhi's words are very interesting. If the royal aunt wants to talk to someone, she can also talk to her. I guarantee you will be happy."

The prince looked at Ye Qingzhi with affection in his eyes and praised her endlessly. The princess nodded in praise again and again, and her eyes became brighter and brighter as she looked at Ye Qingzhi, filled with surprise and scrutiny.

Ye Qingzhi,...

All right, Your Highness, if you keep praising her, she will be able to fly into the sky and float without having to come down.

"I have heard of Master Ye before. After meeting her today, I can see that she is indeed a beautiful girl. She makes me like her at first sight."

The eldest princess looked at Ye Qingzhi and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Princess Chang, for your praise." Ye Qingzhi saluted her, looked at the Crown Prince, and said with a smile,

"Your Highness, Princess, don't listen to the Crown Prince's exaggerated words, such as Master Ye, the favorite concubine, and even the military advisor.

Alas, I am actually the nanny brought here by the prince specifically to help him take care of his children.

In order to make me devote my best to raising the child, he picked out all the nice things to say, not afraid that Her Royal Highness the Princess would laugh at him. "

"Hahaha..." The eldest princess burst out laughing when she heard this, and Prince An next to her also laughed out loud like a goose.

Prince An smiled and nodded, thinking that the taste was just right and reminded him of the scene when he first met Ye Qingzhi.

She really dared to say anything, without considering the prince's face or following the rules.

However, if you say that she is unruly, you can't really say that. On the contrary, she makes people feel friendly to her.

The prince showed a helpless expression, and then laughed.

After the laughter, the eldest princess looked at the children again. These were younger children whom she had never seen before.

Mingyu and Mingyan's status is high enough, so naturally they are the first to greet each other.

The eldest princess smiled and touched Mingyu's head, praising him for being a good boy.

Then she looked at Mingyan again and said with a smile,

"I heard that Ming Yan has been appointed to the Ministry of Revenue, and he is doing quite well. He is so smart at such a young age, and he can also control the situation. My great-aunt is really impressed by him."

"Grandma, you are too kind. I can achieve this because of the opportunity given to me by my father and the good teaching of Master Ye."

Mingyan smiled faintly and had a calm attitude. Despite her young age, she already showed her elegance and grace.

The eldest princess looked at Mingyan, then at the prince standing beside her, and felt that Mingyan seemed to be born with the wrong gender.

But looking at the court's policies over the past two years, it is clear that the status of women has been gradually improving, and the prince's indiscriminate training of Mingyan is not without deep meaning.

As long as you have the ability, why should we differentiate between men and women!

The preferential treatment Mingyan received was what she once longed for. The eldest princess was very pleased to see this day finally come.

The princess also met Xie Niankang, Xie Hongbao, and the fifteenth and sixteenth princes separately. She could not help but admire their meaningful words, upright character, and ambitions, and her mood became even better.

Therefore, the eldest princess felt that the gifts she had prepared for the children were too meager.

Such excellent children should be given more good things.

However, is the education level of their royal family for the next generation so strong? It is much better than those children in their palace.

The eldest princess couldn't help but think of what the prince had just said, and her gaze fell on Ye Qingzhi again, and a vague idea came to her mind.

Now that we have come to her territory, it would be a waste to make good use of this talent.

Anyway, we are taking care of children. We already have six children, so seven or eight more won’t make a difference.

When Ye Qingzhi met the eldest princess' unusually loving gaze, she began to feel inexplicably uneasy and her scalp tingled. She always felt that something bad was going to happen.

After recognizing everyone, the princess felt tired and smiled at the crown prince Xie Jin and the others and said,

"Go wash up and rest first. When the prince comes back from the barracks in the evening, we will go to the palace to get together and get to know the people there."

The prince and others naturally agreed, and then followed the servants back to their rooms to rest.

-

"Mom, the doctor told you to stay in bed more and not get too excited or overworked, but you just didn't listen."

Prince An personally helped his mother back to the house to lie down and rest, and said with concern and distress,

"Look at you, you look so ugly now. I'll ask someone to call a doctor to take a look at you."

"No need to see him, he's just a quack." The eldest princess waved her hand.

Prince An,...

"The prince and his men have brought the imperial physician with them. How about letting the physician take a look at it?" Prince An said again.

"The imperial physician's level is just that. It's not like he hasn't seen this before. It's an old problem. Just lie down and rest for a while." The eldest princess told him not to bother and not to disturb the prince because of this matter.

Prince An also knew that what his mother said made sense. Over the years, his mother had been seen by many famous doctors and imperial physicians, but there had been no significant improvement.

"I heard that there is a genius doctor Qin in the State of Chu. After the war is over, we can find this genius doctor Qin and ask him to come and see my mother."

Prince An suddenly thought of it and said with shining eyes.

"If we can destroy the State of Chu, there is no need to find a miracle doctor. Once I am happy, this disease will be cured without treatment." The eldest princess said with a smile.

Prince An,...

Mom, you really dare to think like that!
