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

In the palace recently, the three words "Mu Zhaoyi" were mentioned the most frequently.

After Mu Jinqi was canonized as Zhaoyi, she moved to Guanju Palace according to the Queen's decree, and also had maids and eunuchs to serve her personally.

Not only that, in the past month, the emperor has come to Guanju Palace to sleep five times. Mu Zhaoyi has become the most favored concubine in the harem, and is likely to replace Concubine Qin.

The palace walls are high. Unlike the north, the snow in the palace was cleared the next day after it fell. Today, there is still a faint red and green color in the palace.

Mu Jinqi was sitting in front of the dressing table in her bedroom, and her maid Zhilan was carefully combing her long hair.

In the bronze mirror, Mu Jinqi looked at her own pretty face that had shed its childishness. Her originally clear eyes now looked more charming and bright.

"Your Majesty, which hairpin do you want to wear today?" Zhilan selected a few exquisite hairpins from those given by the Queen and several concubines, and placed them in front of Mu Jinqi.

Mu Jinqi chuckled softly: "Let's go with the green butterfly tassel hairpin. Your Majesty likes this color."

Zhilan inserted the selected hairpin into Mu Jinqi's bun delicately, flattering her: "Your Highness looks so beautiful wearing this hairpin. Fairies in heaven are probably no more beautiful than this."

Mu Jinqi said calmly: "Who in this palace is not a fairy?"

At this time, a eunuch hurriedly came to report: "My young master, Eunuch Wei just sent a message that His Majesty will go to Guanju Palace to sleep today, and asked my young master to prepare."

A hint of joy flashed in Mu Jinqi's eyes. She stood up and gently stroked her dress.

"Got it, go down," he said softly to Zhilan, "Zhilan, change into that light green gauze dress, His Majesty likes it."

"Yes, little master."

The harem is always so peaceful, but there are always undercurrents behind the peace.

There is only one emperor, so his favor is naturally limited. At this moment, Mu Jinqi is like a bright morning star that has just risen, attracting not only attention, but also all kinds of jealousy and dangers in the dark.

Most of the people who entered the palace with her were not canonized.

The daughters of ministers like her were merely canonized as noble ladies or beauties.

The one of this level of title did not even have a separate bedroom and still stayed in the Cangyou Courtyard.

"Do you know that this Mu Zhaoyi is the niece of the Queen?"

A concubine who had just been canonized as a beauty whispered that she was the daughter of Wang Minghai, the official under the Shaofu.

"Niece?" Another girl was surprised. "Wouldn't that mess up their generations?"

Lady Wang smiled evilly and said sarcastically, "Yes, when Concubine Mu sees the Empress, I'm afraid she will have to call her sister."

After hearing her say this, the jealousy towards Mu Jinqi on the faces of the other people diminished a little, as if they were satisfied in some way.

A cautious concubine lowered her voice and reminded: "Keep your voice down, this is the palace. If someone hears you, you will be in trouble. Mu Zhaoyi will not let you go."

"Humph!" Lady Wang didn't care. "But she has been favored by His Majesty for a few days. How is she better than us? When His Majesty gets tired of her, she won't have any business. She won't let me go? I don't think Concubine Qin or even the Queen will let her go!"

"A-choo!" In Changning Palace, the Queen couldn't help but sneeze.

The maidservant beside her quickly asked the imperial physician to prepare some medicine.

"Never mind," the queen gently waved her hand, "It's nothing. I guess she was blown away by the cold wind when she went to the garden to admire the plum blossoms during the day."

"Your Majesty, please pay more attention to your health. If His Majesty comes here and sees that you are unwell, I'm afraid he will be distressed again."

The maid Chunxi is very good at speaking.

"Your Majesty," the Queen said with a gloomy expression and dull eyes, "Where will Your Majesty go to rest tonight?"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty has been to Guanju Palace and the newly appointed Consort Mu Zhaoyi's place the most in the past month."

"Jinqi," the queen murmured to herself, "the little girl should be in a good mood."

Chunxi was the Queen's confidant, and the Queen was not shy in front of her. She naturally knew the relationship between the Queen and Mu Jinqi.

"Your Majesty," Chunxi lowered her voice, "I have something to say but I don't know if I should say it or not."

The queen glanced at her and said softly, "You have been with me for twenty years. There is nothing you cannot say to me."

Chunxi continued to lower her voice: "Your Majesty, Concubine Mu is very favored now, which is naturally a good thing for Your Majesty, but Concubine Qin and Concubine Shang may not think so. Over the years, they have been..."

"You mean, I should remind her to be more careful?" The Queen frowned slightly.

"This is for the good of the queen," Chunxi knelt down immediately when she saw that the queen's expression was not right. "If she could stand on the side of the queen..."

"I know you are doing this for my own good," the queen closed her eyes and prepared to rest, "but the time has not come yet."

Early the next morning, the emperor left Guanju Palace contentedly, and Mu Jinqi's face was full of joy.

However, at this moment in Yingchun Palace, Concubine Qin's face was ashen. Ever since the emperor favored Mu Jinqi, the emperor only came once in a month.

From being favored to falling out of favor, the gap in her heart made Qin Fei suffer every day. Especially after she learned that Mu Jinqi was the queen's niece, she became even more uneasy.

If the queen regains power and her eldest son is made the crown prince, the Qin family's years of management will be ruined.

Just as she was thinking about how to deal with the situation, a palace maid from Zangyouting secretly came to Yingchun Palace and whispered to her.

An imperceptible smile crept onto her cheeks, but then she said seriously: "Report this to Li Shangfang, and punish him severely according to the harem rules!"

Soon, screams were heard from the Zangyou Courtyard. Concubine Wang and others were being beaten with sticks for criticizing the Queen and Concubine Mu behind their backs.

When the fight was about to end in blood and flesh, and someone was about to die, Concubine Qin appeared at the right time.

"Stop!" She said in a deep voice while looking at Lady Wang and the other three.

The eunuch who was taking action whispered, "Madam Qin Fei, behind the scenes..."

"That's enough," Concubine Qin said firmly, "If the fighting continues, someone will die. If Li Shangfang has any objections, let her come to me!"

"Yes, Madam Qin."

Naturally, the eunuchs would not offend Concubine Qin because of this punishment.

"Dongmei, get some medicine for wounds and heal Lady Wang. Make sure there are no scars left, otherwise she won't be able to stay in the palace."

Concubine Wang, who was about to faint from the beating and was in so much pain that tears were streaming down her face, looked at Concubine Qin. Although she couldn't move her body, she still said in a weak voice, "Thank you, Concubine Qin..."

"You should have a good rest and recover from your injuries," Qin Fei said calmly, "I will let Zang Youting take good care of you."

"Thank you..." Before she could finish the second word of thanks, Lady Wang had already fainted.

Concubine Qin glanced at the few people and said in a deep voice: "It seems that I have to go to Guanju Palace in a few days!"
