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

Chapter 79 An Emperor Worthy of Reliance? (Second Miss)

Mu Jinqi smiled faintly, charmingly: "Your Majesty is the reincarnation of the Purple Star. Your Majesty is the sky! Who else in this world can have greater merits than the sky? My father and brother are loyal to Your Majesty, so when we fight the enemy, we will receive the thunder and lightning from the sky to help us!"

"My beloved, your little mouth is really good at talking." The emperor felt particularly happy when he heard these words. He put a little more strength in his hands, and once again held Mu Jinqi tightly to him, slowly twisting her body.

Mu Jinqi's body could not help but tremble, and she spoke in a broken voice: "Your Majesty, I am not good at speaking, I just said what I thought in my heart."

The emperor gazed at Mu Jinqi's uncontrollable expression with great joy, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Of course I can trust my beloved concubine."

The next morning, the emperor issued an edict, summoning Mu Lie and Mu Jinyu to return to the capital to report on their duties and receive orders, and ordered Dongfang Yi to continue to lead the Mobei Army and the Yancheng Army to attack the Huns.

At the same time, Mu Jinqi was also awarded the title of noble concubine because she won the emperor's favor.

At this point, she became one of the three most respected imperial concubines after the queen.

Although he did not make any outstanding military achievements, Qin Zhengran, who was assassinated by the Yuelan Kingdom, was still posthumously awarded the title of "Mighty General".

The fact that Mu Jinqi was conferred the title of Imperial Concubine caused a huge uproar in the harem, and its impact even exceeded the last time she was conferred the title.

It is particularly worth mentioning that at this time, the brothers Mu Lie and Mu Jinyu were making great achievements on the battlefield in the northern border. The promotion of Mu Jinqi this time undoubtedly contains deeper significance.

Everyone knows that although there is a tall and solid palace wall between the court and the harem, the connection between the two is actually extremely complex and subtle.

On the one hand, if the concubines in the harem can gain the favor of the emperor, they can naturally gain benefits for their relatives in the court.

On the other hand, the powerful family forces behind the concubines can also become an important guarantee for them to settle down in the palace.

Now that Mu Jinqi is favored by the emperor and Mu Lie and his son have made great achievements on the battlefield, the ones who are most restless are naturally the Qin family, who are still arranging Qin Zhengran's funeral.

The most uneasy person was Concubine Qin, Qin Yanran, whose favor to the Emperor was taken away by Mu Jinqi.

Mu Jinqi was immersed in happiness at this moment.

When she first entered the palace, she felt desperate and uneasy. Both her mother's attitude and her fear of the harem made her have no expectations for her future life. She just wanted to live quietly in this deep palace.

In just three short months, she seemed to have been reborn.

The emperor was not as stupid and violent as she had imagined. On the contrary, he was strong, intelligent, and gentle. Although he was occasionally overbearing and crazy, he was generally a good person.

After thinking about it, this emperor seems to be a man worth relying on.

"My young master, Lady Wang and Lady Huo are here."

Mu Jinqi was lost in thought when Zhilan interrupted her.

Since being taught a lesson last time, Wang Jinghua seemed to have restrained himself a lot, and was favored by the emperor once and was canonized as a noble lady.

"I have met the Imperial Concubine."

When the two men saw Mu Jinqi, they bowed respectfully.

Mu Jinqi quickly took Wang Jinghua's hand and said, "You two sisters, there is no need to be like this. We entered the palace together and supported each other in Cangyouting for a long time. Don't be so formal."

Wang Jinghua lowered her head and said, "Empress Mu, although we have a sisterly relationship, the palace rules cannot be violated. This is the sachet that Concubine Huo and I made together a few days ago, and it is specially given to the concubine."

A pink Pisces sachet exuding a faint herbal scent, which Mu Jinqi found very refreshing.

"Thank you, sisters. Please sit inside!"

Mu Jinqi looked at the sachet with great delight, not only because of its pleasant fragrance, but also because Concubine Wang and the other two could come here to visit her.

In the palace, she is favored by the emperor, cared for by her aunt, and now also cared for by her sisters who entered the palace with her. Everything is unexpectedly beautiful and reassuring.

"Ugh..." Mu Jinqi had just sat down when she suddenly felt a little nauseous.

It’s so early in the morning and I haven’t eaten anything.

Concubine Wang and Lady Huo were terrified when they saw this, thinking it was because of the smell of the sachet, so they hurriedly asked with concern: "Sister, are you feeling unwell? If you don't like the smell of the sachet, we can re-mix the herbs."

"It's not because of the sachet. I like the smell, but I don't know why it makes me feel sick."

Zhilan, who was standing by, reminded in a low voice: "Young Master, judging from your reaction, are you pregnant?"

Mu Jinqi was stunned, and Wang Jinghua immediately responded, "Hurry up and ask the imperial physician to diagnose my sister. If she is really pregnant, my sister must take care of her health!"

Things turned out just as Zhilan expected. The imperial physician diagnosed that Mu Jinqi was pregnant!

After congratulating them, Concubine Wang and the other lady left Guanju Palace.

"Humph, this Mu Jinqi really knows how to pick the right time," Wang Jinghua's face changed immediately after leaving Guanju Palace, "She took advantage of us to perform this show-off!"

"She really seems to have just found out about this..." Miss Huo at the side expressed her opinion in a low voice.

"Don't know? Humph! Do you think she's a white lotus?" Wang Jinghua looked disgusted, but rolled his eyes and said, "This is not a bad thing. She is pregnant. We will have more opportunities to serve His Majesty in the future."

Lady Huo did not say anything. She felt that her brain seemed to be dumber than that of Lady Wang in front of her. She could never keep up with or understand her thoughts.

As she was talking, Concubine Wang suddenly stopped.

A sinister smile flashed across her lips: "Let's go to Yingchun Palace again and pay our respects to Concubine Qin."

On the second day, the news that Mu Jinqi was pregnant spread throughout the harem.

The emperor was naturally very happy and rewarded a lot of silver, clothing materials and jewelry. According to custom, the empress dowager and the queen also rewarded some items.

However, these things are already commonplace to Mu Jinqi.

She didn't care about these things now. On that day, she had already started preparing to sew clothes for the baby in her belly.

"My young master, isn't it too early to prepare now? Besides, there is a knitting bureau involved in these matters."

Zhilan saw that Mu Jinqi's face was full of joy, as if she was a young wife from an ordinary family.

"It's never a bad thing to prepare early. Although my craftsmanship is not as good as the ladies in the Knitting Bureau, I am definitely more attentive than them."

Mu Jinqi was concentrating on selecting the fabrics in her hands. Zhilan secretly looked at Mu Jinqi and sighed to herself.

The commotion in the harem was beyond Concubine Wang's expectations. Apart from the necessary etiquette, neither Concubine Qin nor the Queen Mother reacted to the fact that Mu Jinqi was pregnant.

That day, unwilling to give in, she came to Yingchun Palace again and deliberately praised Mu Jinqi in front of Concubine Qin.

Qin Yanran watched Concubine Wang perform continuously, and finally couldn't help but said: "Concubine Wang, in this harem, being stupid is not terrible, but you must avoid doing things that you think are smart."

Concubine Wang lowered her head and said with a guilty conscience: "I don't understand what the queen means."

Qin Yanran glanced at her and said calmly: "If you are willing, I can tell you what His Majesty likes, so that His Majesty can favor you a few more times, which is better than you running around everywhere!"

Wang Guiren was stunned, and immediately knelt down to express her loyalty: "I was saved by your majesty last time, and now I am receiving your grace again. From now on, I will definitely follow your orders!"

"Stand up! I am not the queen and cannot bear your kneeling!"

Qin Yanran looked at Concubine Wang a few more times. Although she was not as pretty as Mu Jinqi, her figure was more eye-catching and she had potential. "I would like to remind you again, you should use your mouth less to criticize others and talk about right and wrong, and use it more on His Majesty!"

"I will follow your Majesty's instructions!"

Humph, Qin Yanran felt disdainful in her heart.

Follow the instructions? If you could change your bad habits so easily, you wouldn't be like this.

If you can't understand the situation, don't know how to advance or retreat, can't control your mouth, and can't accomplish anything, you are destined to be just cannon fodder.

Thousands of miles away, Mu Lie and his party were ready to return to Beijing.

But at this moment, Xia Qin was looking at Mo Ye unhappily, her eyes full of disgust and anger, while Mo Ye was smiling apologetically.
