Professional Ethics of a Concubine

Chapter 315: The Maid's Affairs

Zheng Qinghe didn't pay any attention to his father's mood. He got off his horse excitedly, rushed to his side, and shouted at the top of his voice,

"Hahahaha...Father, that thunderous sound was made by the gunpowder brought by the prince!

Father, please follow me and see for yourself. The power of the firearms and gunpowder is really too strong, too strong!"

As he said that, Zheng Qinghe pulled his father's clothes and tried to pull him onto his horse, so that his father could ride on the same horse with him.

Because his horse had adapted to the loud noise after a short period of training and comforting, it no longer had to panic and run around without being commanded.

"...You, you let me go first!" The King of England struggled to free his hand, but did not mount his horse. Instead, he asked with a vigilant look on his face.

"What gunpowder firearms? Why are your eyes so red? You are so excited, did you take the wrong medicine?"

"Oh, father, you are still drunk?" This time it was Zheng Qinghe who was speechless.

Although he had a lot of complaints in his heart, Zheng Qinghe still grinned as soon as he opened his mouth, full of excitement that he couldn't hide.

"Father, I didn't take the wrong medicine. I was shocked and inspired by the prince because he said he wanted to destroy the State of Chu!

I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night, so of course my eyes were red. Father, hurry up and come with me to see our secret weapon!"

"..." King of England.

Destroy the State of Chu?

I actually hope you took the wrong medicine!

Why would the prince speak so arrogantly and even deceive his eldest son? It's simply... The King of England sighed in frustration.

However, when the King of England was "forced" to mount his horse and come to the gunpowder training ground with his son and witness the power of gunpowder and firearms with his own eyes...

He was also shaken!

"Oh my god! Who invented this magical thing? How was it made? Are there many of them?"

The King of England looked at the pile of firearms, his eyes shining and his expression eagerly asked.

"I heard from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that it was invented by the Sixth Prince. I don't know how he made it, and I guess the Crown Prince doesn't know either."

Zheng Qinghe smiled and explained to his father,

"We don't have many firearms yet, and they are still being improved and forged, but they are enough for us to attack the State of Chu this time!"

"With just a few dozen firearms, they won't kill many people. However, they should be able to blow open the city gates. And the powerful gunpowder should also be able to blow down the city walls."

The King of England also spoke excitedly.

If his father knew about these firearms and knew that they were going to destroy the State of Chu, he would probably jump out of his coffin with joy.

"Father, we don't need to bombard the city gates or walls. Xiong Dayong is our man. Just wait, he will open the city gates for us!"

Zheng Qinghe whispered excitedly into the King's ear.

"…What's going on? Tell me now!"

For the King of England, this news was more explosive than firearms and gunpowder!

"Hey Hey Hey……"

Zheng Qinghe chuckled twice before quietly telling the former crown prince that he was not dead and had actually gone to the State of Chu.

King of England,...

Oh my god!!!

So crazy, so crazy!

Why is this prince acting so arrogantly?

Isn't he afraid? Isn't he worried?

What Master Ye said last night, that one should work tirelessly to serve the Crown Prince and be grateful to him, really hit the nail on the head.

"Where is the prince? Where is our wise and mighty prince?" The King of England looked around but saw no one, so he asked his son again.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has taken people to inspect the camp, saying that he wants to personally comfort our soldiers." Zheng Qinghe grinned, revealing a look of admiration and respect.

"Your Highness's wisdom, broad-mindedness, and benevolence are simply amazing. He is the perfect monarch in my mind."

King of England,...

The prince conquered his son with his own strength.

It is estimated that after the Chu State is destroyed, the Zheng family’s military token will also have to be handed over.

Oh, then just hand it over.

The Chu State is gone, but the Zheng family still has an army of 100,000. Are they planning a rebellion or something? This will definitely arouse the emperor's suspicion.

Looking at the prince's broad mind, as long as they take the initiative to hand over the military orders, they will definitely be properly resettled, and the next few generations will surely enjoy wealth and prosperity.

"Father, what are you thinking about? Why are you feeling melancholy? You're obviously so excited that you can't even express yourself." Zheng Qinghe asked with a confused look on his face.

The King of England rolled his eyes at him and said, "What else could it be? Of course, it's about our family's military power after we destroy the State of Chu."

"Oh, this." Zheng Qinghe said calmly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he will not take away our military power. If we conquer Chu, we will have to station troops there to govern. We will still be responsible for this in the future."

King Ying, "...You two even talked about this? You asked the prince?"

Is the relationship so good?

Did he sleep all night?

Why do I feel like it’s all a dream and everything has changed?

"Just when the conversation came to a head, the prince mentioned this in a very casual manner.

Father, think about it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dared to use the former Crown Prince like this, let him go to Chu as a spy, and even supported him to gain the support of the Chu royal family. Why should the Crown Prince be worried about us? "

Zheng Qinghe spoke in the tone of a loyal prince,

"If my father is too depressed and wants to rebel again in his old age, it would only take a few minutes for the prince to put down the rebellion. The people and the army are on his side."

"Who wants to rebel! You rebellious son, do you want to die?" Upon hearing this, the King of England raised his hand and hit him on the back angrily.

"Ouch!" Zheng Qinghe screamed in pain and ran away. "Father, I'm going to go see if the prince has finished his patrol. You just keep an eye on this side."

King of England,...

Why do I suddenly feel an inexplicable sense of melancholy?

Is this what they call "not keeping a child when he grows up"?

-

Ye Qingzhi was not idle either. When she got up in the morning, she was told that the eldest princess had called the children in the mansion to wait for them to meet her, the tutor.

Ye Qingzhi,...

The eldest princess is worthy of being a member of the royal family. Her efficiency is amazing.

Ye Qingzhi quickly dressed and washed up, then had a simple breakfast.

After finishing, she didn't rush to see the eldest princess, but first called the children she brought with her to sit together for a while.

"Master, I need your help." Ye Qingzhi set the tone as soon as she spoke, "I hope you can help me."

"Mother, please tell me what you want. I will try my best to help you." Although Mingyu is the youngest, she has the most positive attitude.

Ye Qingzhi nodded with satisfaction and patted his little head, "I will reward you with something fun later."

Mingyu smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Thank you, Concubine."

"Aunt, don't keep us in suspense. Tell us quickly, what do you want us to do?" Xie Niankang urged her with a smile.

"The princess asked me to teach the children in the academy. I heard that some of them are quite naughty. I need you to cooperate with me and give them a transformation."

Ye Qingzhi said,

"I'm not sure exactly what I need you to do. I'll decide after I meet them. I might need you to act out a scene, which will be fun."

As soon as everyone heard that it was fun, they became interested, their eyes started to light up, and they were looking forward to their friends joining in.

"Okay, from today on, you are a team. Mingyan is the captain and Xiaokang is the vice-captain. For daily matters, you have to listen to the captain or the vice-captain. Do you have any objections?"

Ye Qingzhi said again.

Mingyu, Xie Hongbao and others shook their heads.

Ming Yan's status and talents are obvious to all, and they are convinced of her. Xie Niankang has always been their elder brother, which makes them even more convinced.

"Do you have any objection to being my deputy captain?" Ming Yan turned to look at Xie Niankang, staring at him with her beautiful eyes, and asked him directly.

"...No." Xie Niankang swallowed his complaints and said seriously, "I'll listen to you."

However, when he turned around, he looked at his aunt with resentment in his eyes.

【Auntie, you have no heart! 】

[You clearly know that Mingyan loves to cause trouble for me, yet you still put me under her command. I am in big trouble.]

Ye Qingzhi pretended not to understand her son's resentment, coughed lightly, and said,

"Ahem, all right, follow me and go pay your respects to the princess."

Xie Niankang quickly grabbed Ye Qingzhi's clothes and said, "Auntie, I have something to tell you."

"Mingyan, please take them away first." Ye Qingzhi said to Mingyan with a smile, "Xiaokang and I will be here soon."

"Okay." Mingyan replied with a smile, looked at Xie Niankang again before leaving.

-

After Mingyan and the others left the courtyard, Xie Niankang immediately said, "Aunt, you can't just stand by and watch someone die, and you can't just watch the fun and not think it's a big deal."

Ye Qingzhi felt a little guilty about what he said, but she still kept a straight face and said righteously,

"Xiaokang, of course auntie is gone, you know that auntie loves you the most, right? How could I possibly want to watch you in such a mess.

Think about it, if you were not the vice-captain, but just a small team member, Ming Yan would only need to say a word to manage you, so what is the difference between this and that? "

Xie Niankang thought it was right, but he soon realized something was wrong, "Then you won't stop her from being the captain, right?"

"If Mingyan is not qualified, who is qualified? Tell me." Ye Qingzhi asked him.

Xie Niankang thought about it and fell silent. Except for Mingyan, no one else could do it.

"Don't feel any psychological burden, and don't always look serious in front of Mingyan. She thinks you have something against her, so she is targeting you and wants to compete with you on everything."

As Ye Qingzhi spoke, she raised her hand to touch his head, and suddenly realized that he had grown a lot taller and had become a big boy.

"How dare I have a problem with her? She is a princess, and I should behave properly when facing her. If I treat her like Mingyu, you will make me pay attention to propriety and rules again."

Xie Niankang said very aggrievedly,

"I'm not a child anymore, aunt. You should advise the princess to maintain a sense of propriety with me and not act as if she has feelings for me."

Ye Qingzhi,...

Ye Qingzhi quickly covered his mouth and told her son to speak in a low voice so that others wouldn't hear it, otherwise it would be extremely embarrassing.

"You are still young, there is no need for that..." Seeing that there were no one around, Ye Qingzhi let go of his mouth and spoke softly.

"Aunt, I'm fourteen, I'm really not a child anymore!" Xie Niankang frowned and said,

"Before coming here, I went back to the Pingnan Marquis's Mansion, and my grandmother asked me if I wanted to arrange a maid for me..."
