A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine Volume 2085 Punishment, Milk Baby's Tricks

Naibao has always known that his mother dotes on him more than his father. When he saw that his mother had no intention of comforting him at all, he knew that something was wrong.

Thinking of what Young Master had taught her, that she should take the initiative to take the initiative when encountering problems, Naibao burst into tears without thinking...

"Wow... Wow, mom, you don't like Naibao anymore. You don't like Naibao anymore after you have a little sister. Wow... Naibao is so pitiful. No one loves him anymore."

Naibao clenched his fists and rubbed his eyes. While crying, he did not forget to leave a gap to observe Feng Qingchen's expression. Seeing that Feng Qingchen was unmoved, Naibao cried even harder.

"Mom is so mean. She doesn't want me anymore now that she has a little sister. I'm so pitiful. I want to run away from home. I won't pay any attention to daddy or mommy anymore. Daddy and mommy are so mean. They beat me now that they have a little sister. Ming wu wu wu..."

"My dear, you are so pitiful, so pitiful..."

When Naibao saw Feng Qingchen still ignored him, his fake crying turned into real crying. He cried more and more sadly. Finally, he lay directly on Feng Qingchen's belly and cried loudly. Everyone in the palace could hear his crying...

Feng Qingchen sighed, not knowing whether to coax the baby or not. He could only pat his baby's back gently and tell him not to cry. As for exempting him from punishment, Feng Qingchen did not mention it at all.

Seeing this, Naibao cried even harder. Even though he cried like this, his father and mother still wanted to beat him!

In fact, Naibao's worries were completely unnecessary. The Ninth Prince was too busy to have the time to beat him. Of course, it was impossible not to punish him. Naibao had caused such a big disaster, it was impossible not to punish him.

The Ninth Prince's punishment for Naibao was very simple. Didn't Naibao love to pester Qingchen? The Ninth Prince punished him by not allowing him to see Qingchen. He asked him to study with Feng Jin. When he finished reciting the Three Character Classic, he could see Qingchen.

"Naibao is so young, how can he recite the Three Character Classic?" Feng Qingchen said that she would not plead for Naibao, but when she saw that the Ninth Prince punished him so severely, she still couldn't bear it.

Asking a two-and-a-half-year-old to recite "Three Character Classic" is too demanding. She still can't recite it.

"How is he young? According to his lunar age, he is almost four years old. Many children from wealthy families have already started their education at this age. When I was his age, I would get up before dawn every day to go to the study to attend classes." The Ninth Prince did not think that this punishment was severe at all. Naibao was too naughty and should learn a lesson and control his temper.

Education really has to start from childhood. Feng Qingchen said nothing more. She didn't know how to educate an emperor, so it was right for her to listen to the child's father.

"Don't worry, Naibao is our child, how could I harm him?" Seeing that Feng Qingchen looked good, the Ninth Prince helped her up.

"It's still early, I'll walk with you."

Since Feng Qingchen came ashore, her morning sickness stopped. She ate well, slept well, and her complexion naturally improved. Not only did she regain the weight she had lost before, but she also gained a lot of weight.

The Ninth Prince walked a few steps and kept staring at Feng Qingchen's belly. Seeing the belly becoming more and more obvious, the Ninth Prince couldn't help but say, "It's only been a few days, why is your belly getting bigger again?"

"It's almost six months, and it's normal for my belly to get bigger." Feng Qingchen touched her belly, a glimmer of joy in her eyes.

When she was pregnant with her baby, she and the Ninth Prince were in a cold war. She thought she would never be able to experience what it felt like to be carefully taken care of by her husband while pregnant, but she didn't expect that she would get pregnant again.

This is truly a blessing from God!

Thinking of God's favor, Feng Qingchen remembered something, stopped and said to the Ninth Uncle: "By the way, I want to discuss something with you?"

The Ninth Prince helped Feng Qingchen to a pavilion not far away, and waited for Feng Qingchen to sit down before speaking: "What's the matter?"

Feng Qingchen smiled at the Ninth Uncle Wan'er and said, "I told you about the orphanage before. I want to build orphanages in various towns in Dongling. Do you think it is feasible?"

"It's feasible. I have the same idea. Due to years of war, there are many orphaned children everywhere. If these children are not well educated, they will become a disaster in the future. We must teach them some skills so that they can support themselves when they grow up. This will benefit the country and the people." The Ninth Prince had this idea when he heard Feng Qingchen talking about the orphanage on the sea, but he had too many things to do, so he put it aside for the time being.

"The orphanage will cost too much money, and it also needs government support. Since you have this intention, I won't tell Yun Xiao and Wang Qi about this."

An orphanage is not like a medical school. A medical school will invest money for the first two years, then train students and make money for the medical school. An orphanage, on the other hand, just invest money and will not receive any return in the future.

As the queen, she naturally didn't mind doing business at a loss, but she alone did not have the financial resources to support orphanages across the country.

The Ninth Prince readily agreed: "I will pass on this matter."

The Ninth Prince was already thinking about who would be in charge of this matter. The preparation and future operation of the orphanage would require a large amount of money. There were too many opportunities to make money, so he had to find someone of high status to keep an eye on it, so as to suppress the officials' thoughts of corruption.

If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. The Ninth Prince did not mind his officials taking benefits, but it also depended on what kind of benefits they were. For benefits such as military rations, road and river repairs, or orphanages, the Ninth Prince would never allow any official to take advantage of them.

Once discovered, severe punishment will be imposed!

Feng Qingchen agreed that severe punishments should be used in troubled times. He even suggested that the Ninth Prince abolish the Blood-Clothed Guards and set up a department similar to that to supervise all officials. This department would be directly under the emperor's control and would be responsible for supervising all officials and whether the emperor's orders were strictly enforced.

The departments that supervised the officials could not use private punishment and arrest criminals like the Bloody Guards. They had no real power and were only responsible for collecting evidence. As for how to investigate and deal with the case, that was the business of the six departments.

This move was supported by all the ministers in the court. Compared with the Blood-Robed Guards, the Supervisory Department was much more moderate. Although the Blood-Robed Guards had not made any major moves in the past two years, their existence was enough to scare the officials and the people. After all, no one could guarantee whether the Blood-Robed Guards would reappear. Now that the Blood-Robed Guards had been abolished, they naturally welcomed it with open arms.

Thus, the Blood-Clothed Guards, who were once so powerful in Dongling, finally withdrew from the stage of history, and were replaced by the Dongling Supervisory Office!

If abolishing the Blood-Clothed Guards and establishing the Supervisory Council made all officials happy, then opening an orphanage would be something that would make the people happy.

When the Ninth Prince issued a decree to set up orphanages across the country and let the state take care of those orphans who had lost their parents, the people praised the emperor for his wisdom and believed that the new emperor's succession to the throne was a blessing for them. In the future, children without parents in the village would not starve to death or be abandoned...

Preparing an orphanage is a very large and long-term expense. Although Dongling’s treasury has money, it cannot be spent like this. At the same time as the decree to prepare for the orphanage was issued, there was also a decree to accept donations from kind-hearted people.

The orphanage accepts donations from kind-hearted people across the country. The donation amount is announced by the government every month in the form of official documents. The purpose of the money is also announced, allowing the people and the Supervisory Commission to supervise it together.

This move exposes the orphanage's income and expenditure to the public. Even if the orphanage still has some shady practices, it is better than doing nothing.

As soon as the Ninth Prince's decree was issued, a huge donation was received...
