Professional Ethics of a Concubine

"You figured this out, you're very smart, boy!"

Ye Qingzhi raised her hand, patted him on the head, and said with a smile,

"Put away your little head. You can save it for later."

Zheng Xiangyang,...

I think you are laughing at me!!

Looking at Princess Mingyan and the others, they were all looking at him while holding back their laughter. Zheng Xiangyang became even more certain that he had just been humiliated.

Wrong!

He, he, he...endure!

Zheng Xiangyang walked to the gate with his head down, then stopped and asked,

"How are you going to get there? In a carriage? On horseback?"

"How far is it? If you can get there within two quarters of an hour, then just walk." Ye Qingzhi said.

"I, how would I know how long it would take? I always go there on horseback."

Zheng Xiangyang grunted for a long time, and finally spoke with his neck stiff.

Ye Qingzhi, "..."

This head feels like it can only be used as a decoration.

Finally, we went there by carriage.

Ye Qingzhi asked the mansion to prepare two carriages, one for her and Mingyan and other girls, and one for the boys.

Zheng Xiangyang had no carriage to ride.

Ye Qingzhi asked him to walk and personally calculate how long it would take to reach the Qibao Tower he mentioned.

Zheng Xiangyang,...

You bad woman, you must have arranged it this way on purpose!

Calculated from the beginning!

Sadly, because Zheng Xiangyang had no sense of time and distance, it took him more than half an hour (about 1 hour and 15 minutes) to reach Qibao Tower, and he had to walk and run fast many times in between.

When he arrived in front of Ye Qingzhi and the others, Zheng Xiangyang was too tired to talk. He just panted and stared at Ye Qingzhi.

"Very good!" Ye Qingzhi smiled and applauded him, asking others to applaud him together, and praised him generously.

"You were able to persevere all the way here without giving up or asking to ride a horse. This shows that there is something precious in your character. I hope you can stick to it."

"Clap clap! clap clap!"

The others laughed and applauded him, saying,

"Well done!"

"If it were me, I would probably give up before I got halfway."

"Oh, I didn't realize you were quite resilient, Zheng Xiangyang!"

……

Zheng Xiangyang,...

He was full of resentment and anger just now, but after being praised by Ye Qingzhi and followed by everyone else, most of his anger disappeared in an instant.

Moreover, he had never had the memory of receiving such praise or being recognized like this before. Zheng Xiangyang even felt a little embarrassed.

He scratched his head, his ears turned red, and he said smugly,

"That's nothing! It's just that I walked a little longer. If I hadn't gotten up a little early today and wasn't in good shape, I could have walked even faster."

"Wow, that's awesome!" Ye Qingzhi continued to praise him.

Zheng Xiangyang couldn't help but grin, and then he heard Ye Qingzhi say with a smile,

"Then keep walking on your way back."

The smile on Zheng Xiangyang's face suddenly froze.

No! !

Mingyan and his group of people from the Beijing faction couldn't help but laugh.

Tutor Ye is really good at playing tricks on people. Anyone who provokes her will really lose a layer of skin in her hands.

Everyone in the palace looked at Zheng Xiangyang with sympathy, and when they looked at Ye Qingzhi, they couldn't help but feel a little more awe.

Ye Qingzhi also smiled, patted Zheng Xiangyang on the shoulder, and said to him,

"I'm just kidding. Can you tell me what's so fun about this Qibao Building? What's so special about it?"

Zheng Xiangyang was full of vigilance, really afraid that she would trick him again, but he couldn't figure out where the possible trap was, so he could only calm down and speak,

“There are all kinds of Mohist mechanisms in this Qibao Building. There is a mechanism almost every few steps. If you trigger a mechanism and are shot by the soft arrow inside, you can no longer move forward and can only retreat.

If you pay one tael of silver, you will have three chances to pass the level. If you succeed, you will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver. Each person can only play once a day."

Ye Qingzhi raised her eyebrows in surprise, and interest appeared in her eyes.

The Mohist mechanism. Every time she watched TV dramas in the past, when she saw some of the mechanisms on TV, she felt that the ancients were very powerful. Some of the mechanisms were so ingeniously designed and very cool.

Later, she watched the videos of craftsmen and saw how they made all kinds of exquisite toys with wood, and she was in awe of them.

Now that she has the chance to experience the Mohist mechanism in person, she is determined to go in and play around.

"Have you ever succeeded in a challenge?" Ye Qingzhi asked Zheng Xiangyang.

"Of course not. It's very difficult! The Seven Treasures Tower has been around for a year. In the entire Funing City, only one person has succeeded in the challenge, and that's the King of Qi."

Zheng Xiangyang changed the subject, shook his head and said, "However, he relied on his superior martial arts to force his way through the barrier, not on his knowledge of mechanical devices."

"The King of Qi is so powerful?!" Ye Qingzhi said in surprise. For the first time, she had a clear understanding of the King of Qi's martial arts.

"Of course, no one can match him." Zheng Xiangyang nodded vigorously.

"Wow, Uncle Qi is so awesome! When can we meet him?" Mingyu also looked admiring.

"It will be in two days." Ye Qingzhi said with a smile, "Even if the King of Qi doesn't come back, you will go to the military camp and you will see him then."

Mingyu nodded and looked towards the direction of Qibao Tower, "Then let's go in."

"I don't want to go in. This Qibao Tower is not fun at all. Apart from Zheng Xiangyang who comes here every day, no one else comes to challenge it. Look, the yard is overgrown with weeds and no one cleans it up."

Another child from the palace, Zheng Xiangxin, spoke up.

The others also nodded in agreement.

"What do you know! The mechanisms here change every day. They are totally different." Zheng Xiangyang said angrily, "You vulgar people don't understand the fun in it at all."

"You know, I haven't seen you succeed in getting through the level yet."

"Ah, given Zheng Xiangyang's stupidity, it's normal that he can't get through."

"I don't know why he is so persistent and wants to throw a tael of silver in here every day."

……

The other children in the palace immediately started to scold Zheng Xiangyang. Apparently, this was not the first time such a quarrel had happened.

Zheng Xiangyang was so angry that he raised his hand to hit someone and teach these younger brothers and sisters a lesson with force.

"Are you very fond of mechanical engineering?" Ye Qingzhi grabbed the back of his collar, telling him not to do anything, and asked him.

"Yes." Zheng Xiangyang nodded.

"That's good. You have something you like and you can persist even when you encounter setbacks. This quality in you is better than 90% of the people in this world." Ye Qingzhi said with a smile.

Zheng Xiangyang,...

seriously?

Is he really that good?

He felt a little dizzy after hearing this.

But in the eyes of his parents and other people, he is not only an uneducated and stubborn person, but also a mad bull who will fight at the slightest disagreement.
