Time Travel: The Foolish Lady is Forced to Become a Female General

Maybe it was because he had just recovered, but when the emperor heard the news, his eyes flickered with rare excitement and kindness.

His pace involuntarily quickened as he rushed towards Guanju Palace.

Entering Guanju Palace, the emperor gently came to Mu Jinqi's side, feeling the warm atmosphere mixed with the fragrance of new life.

Seeing the royal demeanor hidden in the baby's eyes and eyebrows, the emperor's mouth corners unconsciously raised, his eyes full of expectations for the future.

He whispered to Mu Jinqi, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, "This is God's blessing on our Great Xia. The birth of a dragon son should be celebrated by all the people. I give him the name 'Shao Kang' to show his auspicious spirit. I hope he grows up healthy."

Mu Jinqi was very surprised that the emperor could come, and even more surprised at the emperor's condition. Even before she became pregnant, she had never seen Gao Huanyang so happy and gentle.

However, the emperor did not stay long. He just gave Wei Gao a few instructions and then left.

Mu Jinqi didn't care too much about the emperor's actions. Now she only had her newborn child in her eyes.

She had just experienced the greatest and most difficult journey of her life. At this moment, all her fatigue turned into an imperceptible but unusually warm smile at the corner of her mouth.

Mu Jinqi's eyes were fixed on the little miracle beside her, carrying with it the innocence and curiosity of a newcomer to the world.

The little guy's skin was still light pink, as delicate as a newly opened petal, and his eyes were tightly closed, trembling slightly occasionally, as if he was exploring this unknown world in his dreams.

Mu Jinqi gently and carefully stretched out her hand, and her fingertips lightly touched her son's soft little hand. At that moment, it seemed as if an electric current penetrated her heart, making her feel unprecedented happiness and satisfaction.

Her eyes couldn't help but become slightly moist, those were tears of joy and a testimony of a mother's love.

She gazed at her son and silently made countless wishes in her heart, wishing him to grow up healthily, wishing him to have peace and happiness throughout his life, and wishing he not to have to experience the open and secret struggles in the royal family.

Wei Gao said softly, "Empress Mu, a few days ago, Mu Jinyan Shijun presented some elixirs to your majesty, and your majesty's dragon body has recovered."

"Sister?" Mu Jinqi thought of her parents and family, and looked at her son in front of her, feeling a sense of inexplicable loss in her heart.

If it were an ordinary family, the whole family would probably gather together to celebrate now.

"Qi'er, congratulations." Just as she was thinking about it, the queen came, her face full of kindness and joy. She quickly came to Mu Jinqi's bed and gently stroked the back of her hand.

"Your servant pays his respects to Her Majesty the Queen." Wei Gao saluted.

"Your Majesty has just been here?" Seeing Wei Gao here, the Queen naturally understood that His Majesty had just left. She looked at the little guy beside her and said with a smile, "The temperament between his eyebrows and eyes is exactly the same as Your Majesty's."

Mu Jinqi was very happy to see the queen coming. After all, she was her aunt and her family. Now she knew that her mother had moved to Jinghai County and she had no other family members in the capital.

"Empress, Qi'er is too weak to perform the ceremony." Mu Jinqi's eyes were filled with apology. "Your Majesty just left and named this little guy Shaokang."

The Queen looked at Mu Jinqi, whose complexion had not yet recovered, and said with a smile: "Qi'er, there is no need to be so polite, not to mention that you have just given birth. Shaokang, it's really good to be healthy. I have asked Chunxi to prepare supplements and they will be delivered soon."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mu Jinqi was still very polite.

The queen kept looking at the newly born Gao Shaokang, and unconsciously thought of her own son who was still bedridden. She felt mixed emotions.

She softly taught Mu Jinqi her experience in educating princes in the palace and told Mu Jinqi how to take good care of her body.

Soon, the Shanggong Bureau, Shangshi Bureau, and Knitting Bureau all sent the highest-standard palace supplies. The entire harem also followed the Empress's instructions and decorated with lights and colors everywhere, as if it were New Year's Day.

The news that Mu Jinqi had given birth to a son and the emperor personally named him Gao Shaokang quickly spread throughout the harem.

"Your Majesty, the harem is so grand. No prince's birth has ever been celebrated like this." Qin Fei's maid Dongmei complained bitterly, "Your Majesty is really selfish."

"Your Majesty has recovered, and Concubine Mu has given birth to a son. It is reasonable to celebrate." Although Concubine Qin looked a little unhappy, her tone was still calm. "You should also prepare some gifts to send to Guanju Palace. I will not go there in person to congratulate you."

"Yes, your majesty." Dongmei nodded.

"Where did Your Majesty go after leaving Guanju Palace?" Concubine Qin asked casually while flipping through something.

"Your Majesty, after His Majesty left Guanju Palace, he went to Wang Zhaoyi's place."

Concubine Qin said softly with disdain in her eyes: "This Wang Zhaoyi is a quick learner. I asked a few old maids to teach her several times. Your Majesty has always been thinking about her skills in bed."

"Your Majesty, I think Concubine Wang is also an ambitious person, just like Concubine Mu." Dongmei seemed to have never been shy about these words.

"It doesn't matter anymore," Concubine Qin put down the book in her hand and said coldly, "Even if it's Concubine Mu, these few days won't be enough to make a difference. They don't have that much time."

Speaking of Emperor Gao Huanyang, he was a little unhappy at the moment.

He lay beside Wang Zhaoyi, sweating all over. No matter how hard Wang Zhaoyi tried, he was still powerless.

He thought that maybe Wang Zhaoyi had just recovered from a serious illness and her body had not recovered yet, so he threw her aside and said in a deep voice, "I am a little tired today, take a good rest!"

Wang Zhaoyi could only calm down as she looked at the slightly angry emperor. However, she had a bad feeling in her heart. She felt that the emperor's health might not improve.

But no matter whether the emperor's health is good or not, the Qin family can't wait any longer.

"Your Majesty seems to be a little abnormal today?" Zhao Buyai was sitting in the back hall of the Qin Mansion, still thinking about the emperor's words and expressions in the court today.

Seeing that Qin Huiqi was silent, Qin Huimu continued, "Your Majesty's recovery is a little strange. He was listless two days ago, but today he is full of vigor and vitality. Moreover, he ignored my eldest brother's recommendation for the governor of Yangzhou and appointed Mu Lie's daughter instead."

"Has Your Majesty noticed something?" Another official suddenly became a little nervous.

After listening to them talking for a long time, Qin Huiqi said quietly, "These past two days, Mu Lie's daughter, the governor of Jinghai County, presented your majesty with ten pills, saying they were given by Medicine King Valley."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall instantly fell silent, especially the white-haired old man next to Qin Hui, whose eyes were full of astonishment.

However, Qin Huiqi smiled and said confidently: "The Mu family is indeed troublesome, but there is no medicine in the world that can bring back the dead. When the situation in the capital is settled, Yangzhou alone will not be able to make any waves."

Zhao Buai was stunned: "Mr. Qin means, Your Majesty..."

Qin Huiqi waved his hand to interrupt him: "Let's continue to act according to the plan and wait quietly for the opportunity."

In Jinghai County, Xia Qin soon received an imperial edict to be transferred to the post of Governor of Yangzhou.

Compared to promotion, Xia Qin was more curious about the elixir Mo Ye gave him.

"Is Medicine King Valley really so magical? Can it cure diseases without even looking at the symptoms? Is there really a elixir in the world that can cure all diseases?"

Mo Ye smiled and shook his head: "Xia Xia, there is no elixir in this world. Everything has a price."
