Professional Ethics of a Concubine

Regarding the extra chapters, I feel like everything that should be written about the Empress and the Emperor has been written, except that one is rare and the other is not.

The empress's personality couldn't be changed much, so the best ending for the two of them was to get together occasionally, talk about the past, talk about their son and grandchildren, and just have someone to talk to.

Therefore, I can’t write anything new about this kind of twilight romance, so I won’t write about it anymore.

Like the beautiful mother and Prince Su, oh, I have already written about them, and it would not be good to go back and write about when they first met.

I even thought about writing a parallel universe to save them from the misfortune in their previous life, but it doesn’t seem that interesting.

They are living such a happy life now, there is nothing much to write about their daily life, so I won’t write about it. I wish them all the best, haha…

The same goes for other people. Under my arrangement, they all had happy endings. Alas, I really can't write about any cruel things.

Doctor Feng and the little wolfdog, the twin men are not my genre. I’m afraid I can’t write it well, so I can only mention it briefly.

And they are very happy too. I thought about it again and again and I don’t want to write anymore. It’s boring, haha.

I won’t write about these people individually, but I may mention them in one or two sentences.

Finally, I will write a side story that has something to do with the male protagonist.

I plan to have Xie Jin travel back to the 1960s. Haha, in that era, no matter how many talents you had, you couldn't display them, just like a person who knows martial arts but has his hands and feet tied.

I asked Xie Jin to carry a hoe and go to the fields to earn work points, and also let him become a son-in-law to completely break his sense of superiority!

Haha, I think writing like this seems to be a lot more fun and miserable than traveling to the modern era, but it's also a little interesting, so I decided to give it a try.

I don’t know the length of the extra chapter for now, so I’ll just write it casually.

To be honest, the reason I wrote this extra chapter is to finish it by the end of this month, get an attendance award, haha, and get some money.

I am also preparing a new book. If I write it quickly, I will be able to publish it around the 10th of next month. The new book will not be about palace fighting or house fighting, but a period novel.

You can just take a look at this extra chapter at your leisure.

Okay, that’s enough of the nonsense, and now let’s start the main text. Finally, I’m going to let myself go.

-

Xie Jin is eleven years older than Ye Qingzhi.

When Ye Qingzhi left at the age of fifty, Xie Jin was sixty-one, which made him an old man.

However, because of the bug of Feng Yuxi, he was always fed some tonic pills, and he also exercised regularly, so his physical strength and energy were still abundant.

There's no problem letting him work until he's 90!

But in fact, he abdicated at the age of 56, and Ming Yan officially took over the throne.

He spent the last five years taking Ye Qingzhi around to see the empire they had built together.

After nearly twenty years of construction, the railway system has basically taken shape, making travel much more convenient.

Therefore, Ye Qingzhi did not have much objection to his arrangement. Traveling around after retirement is what most office workers dream of.

While traveling, the two of them also had to understand the people's sentiments and deal with some corrupt officials.

Ye Qingzhi said to Xie Jin,

"Leader, you know a TV series I used to like very much, called Kangxi's Secret Visits, which tells the story of the emperor, his concubines, and a few servants, visiting the people and understanding their sentiments.

They usually meet dog officials who don't know their identities, and then they are bullied in various ways. Do you know what I feel most satisfied with at that time?"

"What is it?" Xie Jinxian asked, and then made a request.

"Qingqing, I understand if you don't want to call me Your Majesty. It's fine if you don't want to call me husband, but you can call me by my name. Calling me leader hurts my heart."

"Leader, we are all this age now, so please don't ask for so many things," Ye Qingzhi said.

"I just like to call you leader. I could only think about it in my mind before, but now I like to call you out loud."

Xie Jin glared at her helplessly, and finally compromised, "Okay, whatever you like, whatever you like. By the way, what's your favorite part of the TV series you just mentioned?"

"When Kangxi and his men revealed their identities, everyone came out together, and then Kangxi was put on the dragon robe, and everyone shouted "Long live Kangxi". They also brought the corrupt officials in for questioning. The corrupt officials were all shocked, desperate and confused. It was so cool."

Ye Qingzhi spoke with great excitement, bringing back memories of the past, which were filled with recollections.

"Leader, look at you and me now. One of us is the emperor and the other is the concubine. We also go on secret visits. The configuration is similar.

It's just that I feel that the officials of our Great Zhao are so sensible, they have never doubted your identity, and they kneel down on their own without you having to put on the imperial robe. "

Ye Qingzhi said with regret.

"Because they have all seen my portrait," Xie Jin said speechlessly, "or have seen me in person. The biggest reason is that although they are greedy, they are not stupid."

"So, I was just joking." Ye Qingzhi said with a smile, "Let's go to Beiyan to take a look. I haven't seen the Ninth Princess for many years. I miss her so much."

"Okay." Xie Jin nodded and asked her, "Do you want to go out to sea?"

"No, I hate drifting on the sea." Ye Qingzhi shook her head, "I don't want to become like Xiaokang with a charcoal head."

Xie Jin smiled and said, "It's up to you. You can go wherever you want."

"Let's make it clear first. I will return to the palace in my last year. I still have to say goodbye to the Empress and the others." Ye Qingzhi said.

"Okay." Xie Jin nodded.

-

Xie Jin and Ye Qingzhi traveled together for four years, visiting many places and experiencing many new customs and cultures.

They also met some interesting people with whom they could make friends, and experienced things that made them happy or angry.

One year before Ye Qingzhi left, Xie Jin and Ye Qingzhi returned to the palace.

Many local officials breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that the emperor had returned to the palace.

It is not easy to be an official in Da Zhao. There are too many idle people in the royal family of Da Zhao, and they all have a heart to eliminate harm for the people.

You never know when you will run into the Prince of Qi, the Prince of Duan, or even the Emperor Emeritus.

If you really dare to embezzle and accept bribes, and the circumstances are serious, your life will be in danger!

Back in the palace, the Queen, now the Queen Mother, scolded Xie Jin severely. How could he just run away and disappear?

It would have been fine if you ran away by yourself, but you also took Qingzhi away, leaving her without a sister to talk to.

emperor,……

It would be fine if the Queen Mother was not buried with him in the future. She might be happier if she was buried with Qingzhi.

-

One month before Ye Qingzhi left, she told the Queen Mother part of the truth.

The Queen Mother was shocked and relieved, saying that she had had her suspicions as well, and thanked Ye Qingzhi for telling her this.

"Can't you stay for another twenty years?" The Queen Mother said to her with red eyes, "Qingzhi, I really don't want you to leave."

"My queen, I can't bear to leave you, but life must come to an end." Ye Qingzhi said to her with a smile.

"If I still remember you in the future, I will miss you often and bless you."

"Then you should just forget about me, forget what happened here, and start a new life cleanly. It's so tiring to keep thinking about the other person in your heart."

The Queen Mother wiped her tears and said to her with a smile,

"I hope you will remain like this in the future. You will have a good life wherever you go. So, I only have the best wishes for you in the future, and I don't have too many worries."

"My queen, thank you." Ye Qingzhi hugged her with emotion. She wanted to cry and felt more and more reluctant to let her go.

Not only was it painful to say goodbye to the Queen Mother, but it was also difficult to say goodbye to everyone here who cared about her.

Before leaving, Ye Qingzhi touched her swollen eyes, sighed, and felt very uncomfortable.

"Is there nothing else you want to tell me?" Xie Jin asked her.

"Eat well, sleep well, don't be so sad. I'm not dead. I just left you and went to live in another world." Ye Qingzhi looked at him and said.

"You left me in the end. How can I not be sad?" Xie Jin held her hand and said, "I don't know if I can find you."

"Don't be obsessed with it. We have met, known each other, and stayed together. It's already very good." Ye Qingzhi said with a smile.

"Xie Jin, thank you, thank you for allowing me to live a carefree life. When I think back on my life, I am actually very happy and blessed."

Xie Jin held her hand and smiled, "That means I'm doing a good job and you're satisfied with me as your leader."

"That's quite satisfying." Ye Qingzhi said with a smile. She felt that she was really about to leave, so she reached out and gently touched his face.

"Goodbye, my handsome old man. I hope you can live a more self-sufficient life in the future, find new hobbies, and don't miss me too much."

Xie Jin held her hand, then bent down and kissed the back of her hand.

Ye Qingzhi glanced at him, closed her eyes, and tears flowed down the corners of her eyes.

Xie Jin wiped away her tears with red eyes and whispered, "I hope we can meet again."

-

After seeing Ye Qingzhi off, Xie Jin also saw off his father and mother in the next two years.

They were all very old, and after Xie Jin sent them away, even though he had children, he felt even more lonely.

He didn't want to stay in the palace anymore. Mingyan, Mingyu and others tried to persuade him to stay, but he wouldn't listen. He became a stubborn old man who was hated by everyone.

The Queen Mother was too lazy to pay attention to him and didn't try to keep him. After all, she was used to not having him around for so many years.

She's not used to him hanging around her every day.

After Xie Jin left the palace, he decided to go out to sea. However, he was not alone. He was accompanied by an old man, Xie Wenyuan.

"Ye Qingzhi has gone back, can you go?" Xie Wenyuan asked Xie Jin, "I have had this dream of flying for so many years, but it has not come true yet."

"Xiao Liu, I won't say any more. It will be soon. It will be in the next two years." Xie Jin said to him, "You won't die anytime soon anyway. You can wait until then."

"No, no, I have to ask my cousin to get some medicine. I feel like I can't move on any longer." Xie Wenyuan said.

Xie Jin gave him a look of disdain, "Then why did you go out to sea with me? Are you asking for trouble?"

"I always feel that you are a little too calm now that Ye Qingzhi is gone. Hmm, I guess you are planning something big. I want to follow you and take a look."

Xie Wenyuan spoke with a confident look on his face.

Xie Jin smiled when he heard this, and the look in his eyes was not disdain but admiration.

"Not bad, not bad. King Chu, you are still sharp. I do have a plan. Maybe you can lead me to find Qingzhi."

"Wow!" Xie Wenyuan, the little old man, shouted excitedly, and then moved closer to Xie Jin.

"Take me with you. We have been good brothers for so many years. If you abandon me, you will feel guilty!"

"I may not even succeed, it's too early for you to say that." Xie Jin rolled his eyes at him, "If I fail, I will die. Can you accept that?"

"Of course, I don't mind reincarnating earlier." Xie Wenyuan said immediately.
