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

reason?

The emperor's edict has been issued, so naturally it makes the most sense.

Qin Huimu has always been honest and a smart man, but smart people can also make stupid mistakes sometimes.

Such as now.

Guanglu Xun Cheng Lin, who was in charge of the palace guards and the emperor's guards, stepped forward and said, "It is indeed as Lord Qin said. This appointment is indeed not in line with the official system. However, Lord Qin, do you know what the situation in Jinghai County is now?"

Qin Huimu was stunned by the question. He was in charge of judicial affairs and was indeed not very clear about the war on the front line.

Seeing that Qin Huimu did not respond, Cheng Lin turned his serious gaze to Qin Huimu's brother, the Grand Marshal, Qin Huiqi.

"It is understandable that Qin Tingwei does not know about the Japanese pirates in the southeast because of his different duties, but Lord Qin must know."

Although Cheng Lin was only Guanglu Xun, he was one of the few people outside the Qin Party who was trusted by the emperor.

The last time his imperial guards escorted Mu Lie to Yancheng, they were intercepted by the Qin family along the way and many were killed or injured. He still remembered this grudge.

Having been asked the question in person, Qin Huiqi naturally could not pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"Your Majesty, everyone. Thirteen cities in the southeast have been occupied by Japanese pirates. Five of the seven counties under the jurisdiction of Jinghai County were captured last month. The governor Qian Lengshui deserted the battlefield and has been executed."

Hearing this, Xia Qin could hardly believe her ears.

It turns out that this damn emperor wanted to hand over the counties and prefectures that had been occupied by the Japanese pirates to her for management, so that my father could live there in his old age?

As the Grand Marshal of Daxia and the military chief, Qin Huiqi was indeed familiar with the front line.

"The Japanese pirates are still wreaking havoc everywhere and constantly encroaching on our Great Xia territory. The southeast is short of troops, and there are only 3,000 militiamen near Jinghai County to resist. The situation is critical..."

Hearing this, the emperor raised his hand to indicate that it was enough.

He also asked Wei Gao to pass on the military intelligence and battle reports that Dongfang Yi and Shi Qing had sent from the front line a few days ago to all the ministers for review.

In the battle reports they submitted, they did not hesitate to praise Mu Jinyu and Xia Qin.

"Which is more important, the official system or the territory?" After waiting for all the ministers to see, the emperor asked in a cold tone, and then turned to look at Xia Qin, "Your name is Mu Jinyan, right? Concubine Mu often mentions you, but her words are all about her sister's love, and she never mentioned your leadership talent."

Mu Lie knew that Xia Qin was not familiar with the court etiquette, so he immediately explained: "Your Majesty, my daughter was ill before and has not recovered for long."

"So that's how it is. Concubine Mu probably doesn't know that her sister has recovered," the emperor thought. "Concubine Mu is pregnant. After the court meeting, Wei Gao will take Governor Mu to Guanju Palace. You two sisters can talk."

Mu Lie bowed his head to express his gratitude. Xia Qin was still kneeling there stupidly, and Mu Jinyu pressed her head down again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Qin Huimu was still resentful, but he had calmed down from the pain of losing his son, and the court meeting ended.

"Master Mu, please follow me."

In accordance with His Majesty's order, Wei Gao brought Xia Qin into the palace to visit Mu Jinqi, while Mu Lie and his son were waiting outside the palace.

Xia Qin rubbed his knees. He had been kneeling for longer than today, even though he had been in modern times for more than 20 years combined!

Then she walked while looking at Wei Gao curiously.

As expected, eunuchs don't grow beards and have good skin. Wei Gao, who is already in his forties or fifties, still has fair and smooth skin on his face, like a peeled egg.

Wei Gao found Xia Qin's behavior interesting and asked in a low voice, "Master Mu, is there something on this old servant's face?"

Xia Qin's face was instantly embarrassed: "No, no, I'm just a little nervous."

Wei Gao smiled. He had just discovered that Xia Qin didn't seem to understand the etiquette of the court and the palace.

"Don't be nervous. Concubine Mu is now favored by His Majesty, and General Mu has just been named Duke of Wei. Governor Mu should relax."

Aren't eunuchs usually cautious in their words and actions? This eunuch seems to like to talk quite a lot.

Xia Qin was thinking in her heart, but she didn't know that Wei Gao had only said a few more words to her today.

"Well, thank you, Master Wei."

Wei Gao looked at Xia Qin and asked in a low voice, "Sir Mu, what did the thunder look like during the battle with the Huns?"

This eunuch... is quite curious, but how should he answer?

"It was just like a thunder in the rain. A huge thunderbolt fell and dozens of Xiongnu soldiers were killed on the spot."

"I see..." Wei Gao thought about the scene in his mind, and in the blink of an eye he had arrived at Guanju Palace, "Grandmaster Mu, this is Concubine Mu's bedroom."

Wei Gao led Xia Qin in. At this time, Mu Jinqi was concentrating on sewing clothes.

"Mrs. Mu, look who's here."

Mu Jinqi looked up and found that it was Xia Qin. In an instant, tears flashed in her eyes with excitement.

"elder sister!"

She put down her needle and thread and stood up hurriedly to greet him.

"Young master, please take care of yourself." Zhilan at the side quickly reminded.

Wei Gao whispered, "Madam Concubine Mu, Governor Mu, I will wait outside the palace for one stick of incense."

"Wait!" Mu Jinqi walked forward and gave Wei Gao a gold ingot.

"Thank you, Empress Mu." Wei Gao smiled and left Guanju Palace.

Mu Jinqi led Xia Qin into the room and said excitedly, "Sister, I heard yesterday that you and Daddy and Brother would return to Beijing today, but I didn't want to see you."

Xia Qin did not shake off Mu Jinqi's hand this time, because in the memories she recovered, this sister seemed to have never had any malice towards her, and had always been caring and loving towards her.

"Mu, Empress Mu." She called her somewhat stiffly.

I think that’s the way to address him. Even daddy should be addressed like that.

Mu Jinqi was stunned, and whispered to Zhilan: "Go outside to look at the flowers and plants in the palace, and close the door."

"Yes, little master."

After Zhilan left, Mu Jinqi sighed and said, "Sister, you can just call me Xiaoqi. I heard that you have recovered?"

"Well, I'm fine now. My memory has been restored, Xiao, Xiaoqi."

"That's great!" Mu Jinqi suddenly hugged Xia Qin, "Sister, you're fine now, that's great!"

Xia Qin was a little at a loss as to what to do after being hugged so tightly that she could only pat Mu Jinqi's back gently to comfort her.

Mu Jinqi let go of Xia Qin and asked softly, "Are Daddy and Brother okay?"

"Everything is fine. Everything is fine." Xia Qin did not mention her father's injury.

"That's good," Mu Jinqi pulled Xia Qin to sit down together, "The battlefield is very dangerous, right? Does His Majesty still want you to go to war?"

"Well," Xia Qin looked at Mu Jinqi's face, which had matured a lot and looked like a young woman, "This time, His Majesty ordered my father and brother and I to quell the Japanese rebellion."

Mu Jinqi's eyes suddenly looked a little lonely: "For so many years, my father and brother have been away, and we are the only ones at home."

"Sister, I'm sorry." Mu Jinqi suddenly looked at Xia Qin and said guiltily.

Xia Qin looked at Mu Jinqi and felt that she was a little excited.

Mu Jinqi held Xia Qin's hand and whispered, "My mother has been treating you badly over the years. No matter how I persuaded her, she wouldn't listen. Later, she repeatedly tried to harm you!"

"Hey..." Xia Qin was helpless, "Xiao Qi, these things have nothing to do with you, and besides, isn't my sister fine now?"

Thinking of the Second Madam, Xia Qin still felt disgusted, but she had a clear distinction between love and hate. The Mu Jinqi in front of her was a different individual from her mother.

"Sister, I know it's unreasonable to ask you to forgive my mother, but I just hope that if my mother doesn't embarrass you in the future, you and my brother can let her go."

Xia Qin sighed and comforted her, "Xiao Qi, you are pregnant, don't get excited, it's not good for the fetus. I will go to Jinghai City in the southeast with my father and brother soon, and I will not pursue the matter of Er Niang anymore."

For some reason, Xia Qin suddenly felt an inexplicable sympathy for Mu Jinqi, not just because she was her sister.

But Xia Qin felt that Mu Jinqi's character would lead to a bad fate in the harem.

The two chatted for a while, and when the time came, Xia Qin left the palace.

Before leaving, Xia Qin, who had watched many palace dramas, couldn't help but whispered, "Xiao Qi, don't trust anyone in this harem, whether it's the queen, other concubines, or your own maid."

"Don't worry, sister. His Majesty treats me very well."

Xia Qin didn't know what to say, so she left with a wry smile.

"Lord Wei." Xia Qin looked at Wei Gao sincerely.

"Is there something wrong, Lord Mu?"

"My sister is simple-minded. I ask Lord Wei to help take care of her. If she can be of use to me, Mu Jinyan, or the Mu family in the future, I will be happy to help her."

Wei Gao was stunned by what Xia Qin said. In the past, others gave him money and benefits, but this was the first time that he was instructed in such words.

However, he smiled faintly and did not say those polite words: "This old slave will remember this, Governor Mu, don't worry."

Looking at Xia Qin's leaving back, Wei Gao suddenly had an inexplicable smile on his face.

In addition to Mu Lie, Mu Jinyu and Xia Qin, the generals of the Yancheng Army and the Mobei Army also received corresponding rewards.

In Qingyun City, Dongfang Yi stared in a daze at the ladders and catapults left behind by Xia Qin.
