Professional Ethics of a Concubine

Mingyan glanced at him and saw that he was stiff-necked and had a serious look on his face. Then she smiled.

"Of course I trust your ability, otherwise I wouldn't have made you the governor.

It’s just that you used to do things very smoothly, and you made sure not to offend anyone. Your tactful way of dealing with things left a deep impression on me.

This time, as soon as you took office, you caused so many troubles and offended a lot of people, leaving no leeway at all.

I called you over to ask about the situation, but you didn't even explain it to me. You asked me right away if I believed you. I found that quite new. I've never seen such a tough side of you before."

"I have reached this position. If I want to achieve achievements quickly, I can't do it without offending anyone." Xie Niankang said.

"Rather than being a nice guy who tries to smooth things over and does things slowly, I choose to be a ruthless person who can produce results. This way, it won't be in vain that you promoted me, and it won't be criticized by others behind your back for not being able to judge people."

"You have a lot on your mind." Ming Yan said with a smile, "Okay, just go ahead and do it, try to achieve some achievements as soon as possible, and make others shut up. I'll help you deal with these impeachment memorials."

"That's not necessary." Xie Niankang walked to the table, "Give me all the memorials impeaching me, and I'll take a look. I'll treat them to a meal later to calm their emotions. It's not a big deal."

Mingyan paused, handed him the memorials and asked him to read them himself.

Xie Niankang took a quick look and understood what was going on, so he said to Mingyan, "I will take care of it. I won't let them write memorials to bother you anymore."

Hearing this, Mingyan just looked at him and smiled, with a hint of brilliance in her eyes.

Xie Niankang was somewhat puzzled and embarrassed by her smile, and could not help but touch his rough face.

"What do you mean by smiling like that?"

"Because I'm very satisfied with you." Mingyan said with a smile, "I feel relieved by your work."

"This is what I should do. Well, it is my responsibility and duty as a subject." Xie Niankang said.

At this time, the eunuch came again to report that someone wanted to see him.

"Okay, I'll leave the shipping side to you." Mingyan waved her hand and told him to go ahead and get busy as she had other things to deal with.

Xie Niankang took his leave.

Now that he had entered the palace, Xie Niankang naturally had to go visit Ye Qingzhi.

"What book is Auntie reading?" Xie Niankang walked over to her and asked when he saw that she was reading seriously.

"The Emperor assigned me to finish reading this biography." Ye Qingzhi said helplessly, "What about you? What are you doing here?"

"I just went to report my official duties to the Crown Princess. After that, I came to visit my aunt." Xie Niankang said with a smile.

"Why does the emperor still ask my aunt to study now?"

"He probably just can't bear to see me idle." Ye Qingzhi said angrily, then threw the biography aside, smiled and pulled Xie Niankang and said,

"Now that you're here, I have a good excuse to be lazy. Come here. I've prepared a lot of portraits of women. Do you think you can find any that suits your taste?"

Xie Niankang was not surprised. As she looked at the portraits of women, he still felt a little headache when he saw the pile of portraits on the table.

"Didn't my aunt say that she was going to hold a large blind date party? Then I don't have to look at them one by one. It's better to see the real person at the party. There will always be differences between the portrait and the real person."

"Since you're here, let's take a look together." Ye Qingzhi opened a scroll, "How is it? A beautiful lady with a gentle smile?"

Xie Niankang immediately shook his head.

Ye Qingzhi found another one and said, "This one looks good, and seems to have a lively personality."

Xie Niankang still shook his head.

After looking at several of them in a row, Xie Niankang shook his head.

Ye Qingzhi was too lazy to open it and glared at him unhappily. "There were all kinds of beauties in the portraits just now. How come you didn't like any of them? What kind do you want?"

Xie Niankang thought about it carefully and finally figured out where the problem was.

“Aunt, I’m over 30 now, and these girls are only 17 or 18 years old. I look at them as if they were my juniors. I feel like I’m committing a crime if I have any thoughts about them.

My dad always told me not to touch girls under 18, that’s animal behavior.”

Ye Qingzhi,...

There's no problem with that either.
