Professional Ethics of a Concubine

Prince Chu's Mansion.

As soon as Xie Wenyuan returned to the mansion, Chen came out to greet him with a long-lost smile on her face.

"The prince is back!"

Xie Wenyuan paused, responded, and said directly,

"I heard that my uncle and his family are back. Where are they? I want to see them."

When Chen heard him call her uncle, she felt relieved, but her eyes became a little sad. She quickly said,

"When I heard that the prince had returned, I immediately sent someone to call for my father. Please wait for a moment, Your Highness."

"Okay. I'll go back to the room and change my clothes." Xie Wenyuan said.

"I will serve the prince." Chen said immediately.

"No thanks." Xie Wenyuan refused calmly, "It's just a change of clothes, no need to serve me."

"The prince has suffered a lot outside these years." Chen said, "He is not spoiled at all now. I remember that the prince used to need people to serve him in everything, no matter how big or small. If the servants didn't serve him attentively, the prince would scold them."

"I was free and was just looking for trouble," said Xie Wenyuan.

The Warriors are never afraid to admit their messed-up past.

"..." Chen.

It's a bit hard to talk today.

"Let's not reminisce about the past. I was mentally ill before, and it was serious. Although you are talking about me, it is not the me now."

Xie Wenyuan could see her careful approach and attempts to please him, and he also knew that this must be because she had regained her mind and figured out what to do in her current situation.

However, it was impossible for him to have any marital affection for Chen. At most, there was only some kinship affection. Moreover, the rest of his life in the capital would be limited, and he would not be able to live an ordinary life with her.

Therefore, some words need to be made clear and understandable.

"I don't like staying in the capital. I may come back once every few years. You don't have to face me in the future."

The King of Chu spoke.

"Is it because the prince can't tolerate you staying in the capital?" Chen asked immediately, "Do you want to go back to Shangjing? Your fiefdom is also there, we can move there!"

Xie Wenyuan sighed softly. It was really hard to talk to someone who didn't understand him at all.

Tired.

"It's not that the prince can't tolerate me, it's that I hate the capital and don't like staying here."

Xie Wenyuan patiently said,

"I won't go back to Beijing either. I like to travel around and don't like to stay in one place for too long."

Chen didn’t understand!

She felt that although Xie Wenyuan was not easy to get along with before, he was a normal person whom she could understand.

But she felt that Xie Wenyuan was seriously ill now and just liked to make trouble.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand or don't know what I'm saying. I don't need your approval."

Xie Wenyuan spoke again,

"I'll tell you something you can understand. You're still young. If you feel lonely and unbearable in the future, you can divorce and remarry."

"Your Majesty, I was wrong!! I really know I was wrong. I will never have those random thoughts or complain again. Please don't divorce me!"

Chen fell to her knees with a plop and begged him with tears in her eyes.

Xie Wenyuan, "..."

Well, he knew her choice.

"Get up. If you don't want to divorce, forget it."

Xie Wenyuan was so tired that he didn't want to say another word to her and turned back to the house.

Chen looked at his departing figure, her face turning paler, her body swayed, and she fell to the ground.

"Princess, the prince has gone far away. The ground is cold. You should get up quickly." The nanny came over, grabbed her arm, helped her up, and persuaded her softly.

"Mammy, the prince just said he wanted to divorce me..."

"Princess, it's a divorce, not a divorce." The nanny corrected her.

"Whether it's a divorce or a divorce, what difference does it make? The result is the same. I'm not the Princess of Chu anymore!"

Chen said with some excitement,

"Even if the prince is not here, what does it matter if I will be lonely in the future?!

If I marry again, can I marry a prince? Can I have the same luxurious clothes, food, status and power as I have now? Can I still support my mother and her family?

You can't do these! It will make both you and Hongbao a laughing stock!

I'm going to give up my current status as the Princess of Chu and divorce her just to be with a lousy man. How stupid must I be to agree to this!"

Upon hearing this, Nanny slapped her thigh in agreement and said excitedly,

"Princess, you are absolutely right! Our prince is a playboy, the kind of person who wanders around the world. Don't even think about tying him down, just let him go crazy.

Just be a good Princess of Chu. The young prince has good ideas, so don't worry about what he does. Just show concern for him.

Then you just need to plan benefits for your mother's family within the appropriate authority, and let the Chen family stand up again!"

When Chen heard that the nanny also agreed, she felt more confident and went back to her own courtyard.

"Princess, if you really need it, you can also use Mr. Horn to play with it. If you use it well, it will be more comfortable than a man."

Back in the room, the nanny whispered to Princess Chu,

"Would you like me to prepare a pair for you?"

Chen's face immediately turned red, she glared at the nanny, and turned the words of rebuttal in her mouth around, and changed them to "... Let's talk about it later."

"Okay." The nanny agreed and expressed her attitude positively, "I will definitely satisfy the princess."

Chen,...

-

The house that Princess Chen of Chu bought for her family was not far from the Prince of Chu's Palace.

The former Minister of the Chen Dynasty, Chen Xiao, received the news and came over quickly. He was led by the eunuchs in the mansion to Xie Wenyuan's study.

"Your humble servant greets His Majesty." Chen Xiao entered the study, saw Xie Wenyuan, and immediately bowed down.

"Uncle, please stand up. You don't have to kneel anymore. You're going to break your old kneecap if you keep kneeling."

Xie Wenyuan spoke.

"..." Chen Xiao stood up and smiled bitterly, "I'm not that old. Thanks to the prince, I didn't suffer too much even though I was exiled.

I was wondering why I and the Chen family were treated so well before, it turns out it was because of the prince. "

"You don't have to flatter me right away. I didn't arrange anyone to take care of you."

Xie Wenyuan said, "What you did before was not innocent either. You deserve to be exiled, and you deserve to suffer."

Chen Xiao was choked and speechless. He opened his mouth and closed it again. He simply stopped saying anything nice.

"That's what the prince taught you."

"The Chen family wants to make a comeback, that's fine. I'll give you this opportunity." Xie Wenyuan said.

"But there is a prerequisite. Stop doing illegal things for me and do more good deeds. Do you understand?"

"...I will keep your highness' teachings in mind!" Chen Xiao knelt down in a daze.

It is said that the King of Chu is like two different people. He suddenly remembered that when the King of Chu was four or five years old, he was smart, kind and lovely, and always thought about others.

Xie Wenyuan said again,

"After the crown prince ascends the throne, I will also leave the capital and will not be back in the short term. If you commit a crime, I will not show you any special mercy."

Xie Wenyuan said again,

"You should talk to Chen more often so that she can gain some experience. Don't think that the royal family owes her a queen and that your Chen family can do whatever they want."

"I dare not." Chen Xiao's heart sank, and he said quickly,

"I failed to educate Chen well and let her be too short-sighted. I am derelict in my duty. I will find a way to restrain her and the Chen family members in the future and will not let them commit any crimes!"

"Okay." Xie Wenyuan nodded with satisfaction. It was much easier to talk to a smart person, so he asked him again, "Are you really okay?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am still in good health." Chen Xiao said.

"That's fine. After all, you have a lot of talent and experience. Tomorrow I will go to the prince to ask for a position for you. You should not be idle."

Xie Wenyuan said again.

Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment, then immediately knelt down to express his gratitude, his eyes moistened, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your support!"
