Professional Ethics of a Concubine

Two years later, it was still Kunning Palace.

In addition to the queen, Ye Qingzhi and the emperor were also there. The three of them stared at Mingyu who was kneeling below and the woman he brought back.

The queen was so angry that her face turned blue. The words she said two years ago were still fresh in her mind. She stared at Mingyu and said in a sarcastic tone,

"You kept your word and actually brought back a daughter-in-law for my mother."

Mingyu gave her mother a flattering smile, and cast a look at Ye Qingzhi for help, hoping that her mother-in-law would say something to help her.

Ye Qingzhi didn't want to interrupt, she just wanted to watch the show.

Because she heard that this little girl was very powerful, and she forced herself on Mingyu.

"Empress, please forgive me. When Mingyu and I met, I didn't know he was a prince. I forced him..."

The girl next to her, Wanyan Yingge, spoke up, with an attitude of "everyone takes responsibility for their own actions", and was very brave.

Queen,...

She almost suspected that she had given birth to a girl, not a son.

"Okay, stand up first. Please take a seat." The emperor also spoke and asked Wanyan Yingge, "Are you a Jurchen?"

"Your Majesty, my father is the leader of the Wanyan tribe of the Jurchens..." Wanyan Yingge gave herself a detailed self-introduction, and at the end she dropped a big bomb.

"I'm already pregnant. If the queen is not satisfied with me, I will return to the tribe. I can also raise the child by myself."

"...Get married! Get married! Get married immediately!" The Queen could no longer sit still and immediately stood up and shouted.

Ye Qingzhi burst into laughter and said to the emperor,

"Your Majesty, our palace is bustling again. Your first grandson or granddaughter has arrived."

"I am going to be a grandfather too." The emperor nodded with emotion.

But he still felt that he was in his prime and not old at all.

-

One year later, the Queen was holding her heavy, fat grandson and chatting with Ye Qingzhi with a smile.

"Look, she looks exactly like Mingyu when she was a child. But that's not right. She's much fatter and stronger than Mingyu when she was a child, and she doesn't get sick very often."

"He really looks like Mingyu. Children are so cute." Ye Qingzhi smiled and pinched his chubby little arm.

"It's really fun to tease like this."

"Yeah, she was cute when she was little, but she's become less cute as she grows older, and she only makes you angry."

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded her fat grandson. When she saw that he was drooling, she gently wiped the corner of his mouth and made faces to make him giggle.

"Has Niankang never gotten married in all these years?" asked the Queen.

"No, he is the legendary playboy. He doesn't like to stay in one place. Even if he gets married, it would be a waste of time for the girl."

Ye Qingzhi was very open-minded. "It doesn't matter. As long as he is happy, it's fine. People don't have to get married and have children in their lifetime."

The Queen Mother held a different view. She always felt that without marriage and children, life would not be normal and would not be complete.

At this time, the eunuch ran over happily to announce the good news.

"Empress, the imperial physician just checked the pulse of the Crown Princess and found that she is already two months pregnant."

"Really?!" The queen's eyes widened in surprise and she immediately laughed happily, "Oh, that's great, that's great! I've finally gotten what I've been waiting for."

Mingyan has been married for four years, but she has not been pregnant. This has become a source of worry for the queen, and she is always worried.

Now that she heard her daughter was pregnant, she finally felt relieved.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, you're going to be a grandmother again." Ye Qingzhi said with a smile, "This month, the monthly salary of all palace servants will be doubled."

"It's my grandmother... No, it's my grandmother." The Queen said with a smile, "I will keep a close eye on Mingyan and let her rest well and take care of the baby. She is not allowed to stay up late to handle government affairs."

Ye Qingzhi nodded in agreement.

"By the way, Qingzhi, you should also talk to the emperor and tell him not to arrange things for Mingyan anymore. You should also help Mingyan deal with some things. The most important thing for her now is to take care of the baby."

The queen continued to give instructions.

Ye Qingzhi nodded with a smile, "Okay, okay, I will definitely remind the emperor again and again."

-

In the evening, Ye Qingzhi mentioned Mingyan's pregnancy and asked the emperor to reduce her workload.

"I know. This is my grandson too. I must take good care of him." The emperor smiled and nodded.

"I have already arranged the matters in her hands and let others take charge temporarily."

He looks like a caring grandfather and a benevolent emperor.

However, within three months, the emperor could not help but say to Ye Qingzhi,

"As a woman, it is really difficult to balance childbirth and work. It is impossible to do both perfectly. I saw Mingyan's hard work and persistence, but even if she tried very hard, she still couldn't do as well as before. Pregnancy has consumed too much of her energy and effort."

Ye Qingzhi couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this, "What else? The emperor is disgusted with her and thinks Mingyan's work ability has declined?"

"Of course I don't dislike it." The emperor said immediately, "I just feel emotional."

Ye Qingzhi was too lazy to discuss this with him and yawned, "I'm sleepy and I'm going to sleep."

emperor,……

Why are you falling asleep while we're talking?!

"Qingqing, are you feeling unwell?" Emperor Xie Jin frowned and asked worriedly, "You wouldn't feel sleepy at this time before."

Ye Qingzhi frowned when he said that and said, "I feel a little tired and lack energy these past two days."

Emperor Xie Jin immediately looked at her belly, then thought of something and looked away in disappointment.

"I remember you just left for two days, so you shouldn't be pregnant."

Ye Qingzhi chuckled twice, indicating that he was right. Even if she had a terminal illness, it was impossible for her to get pregnant.

"I will call the imperial physician right away to feel your pulse." The emperor asked the eunuch to call the imperial physician.

While waiting for the imperial physician to come, Ye Qingzhi had fallen asleep, which made Xie Jin frown even more and feel more uneasy.

"Let's see the Imperial Concubine. What's wrong with her?"

When the imperial physician arrived and saw the emperor's gloomy face, his heart skipped a beat and he felt a chill on his neck, as if he had one foot on the guillotine.

Oh my! Hasn’t the Imperial Concubine always been in good health? How come she suddenly fell ill?

The imperial physician walked to the bedside and saw that the imperial concubine had already fallen asleep. He felt her pulse with some trepidation, then frowned, his eyes full of confusion.

"What happened?" the emperor asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty, I am stupid and I cannot diagnose what illness the Imperial Concubine has." The imperial physician knelt down with a plop.

Xie Jin stared at him, then ordered the eunuch to call all the imperial doctors on duty at the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Of course, someone was also sent to deliver a message to Feng Yuxi, asking him to come back quickly.

However, Feng Yuxi is traveling outside, and no one knows where he is now, let alone when he will return.

The imperial doctors all came over to diagnose Ye Qingzhi. The Queen also heard about such a big thing and was so scared that she hurried over to see what had happened to Qingzhi.

"Your Majesty, what happened to Qingzhi? She was fine during the day!" The Queen asked the Emperor in panic.

"Sleepy and listless," said the emperor.

"Are you pregnant?" The queen's eyes lit up and she asked in surprise.

"...No." The emperor shook his head, "The imperial physician hasn't diagnosed any symptoms yet."

The surprise on the queen's face disappeared in an instant, leaving only worry and anxiety. She walked to the bed and sat down, staring at the sleeping Ye Qingzhi again and again, and couldn't help but call her softly,

"Qingzhi, Qingzhi, Qingzhi..."

The shouting became louder and louder, but Ye Qingzhi still didn't wake up.

The queen panicked and started crying after shouting.

"Wuwuwu... Qingzhi, what happened to you? Don't scare me! Wuwuwu... He was fine during the day, why can't he wake up all of a sudden!"

Xie Jin stood beside the bed, staring at the unconscious Ye Qingzhi. His whole body began to tremble uncontrollably, and even his teeth chattered. A strong sense of fear swept over him.

The reason why he was so frightened and scared was that at this moment, his mind was full of one guess:

She is leaving, she is leaving him, she is going back to the modern era.

how could be!

How could she leave like this!

Feng Yuxi hasn't left yet!

By the way, Feng Yuxi, he should know something. No matter what the cost, we must find him as soon as possible.

Xie Jin turned around, his voice was hoarse as soon as he opened his mouth, and there was even a hint of trembling in his voice.

"Increase the number of people who can look for Feng Yuxi. Find him at all costs and get him back as soon as possible."

When the queen heard what Xie Jin said, she wiped her tears and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, let's find the divine doctor quickly!"

After the other imperial doctors finished diagnosing Ye Qingzhi, they all felt that they were doomed.

"Why don't you say something? What have you diagnosed?" the queen asked angrily.

"Her Majesty, Your Majesty," the imperial doctors replied tremblingly.

"We have checked her over and over again. Her pulse is very stable and there doesn't seem to be any disease. But she is unconscious... There is nothing I can do!"

"Everyone, please leave." The emperor waved his hand and did not make things difficult for the imperial doctors.

The imperial doctors felt as if they had been saved and became more grateful to the emperor.

The emperor is truly a wise and holy ruler, not an incompetent and furious tyrant who only knows how to kick their heads like balls.

"Your Majesty, do you know why Qingzhi is like this?" the Queen asked him with red eyes.
