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

It was Dongfang Yi. Mu Lie glanced at him and lowered his eyes and said, "General Dongfang, this matter is not your fault. I felt that your engagement with my daughter was inappropriate at the beginning. It was your mother and Yan Er's mother who pushed for this matter."

Dongfang Yi looked at Mu Lie with a sincere face: "My decision to cancel the engagement has nothing to do with the situation in the court or your daughter's situation. I just hope to find someone with the same ideals to spend my life with. Although your daughter and I are not engaged now, my Dongfang family will do our best to help you in this matter!"

Mu Lie looked at Dongfang Yi and sighed, "Thank you, General Dongfang."

The emperor left the hall and came to the harem. At the harem banquet, he mentioned the matter of Mu Jinyan again. Upon hearing that the emperor had bestowed a favor, the second wife and the second young lady hurriedly stood up and kowtowed to express their gratitude.

The second wife took the opportunity to say a lot of flattering words, which greatly pleased the emperor, whose territory had been reduced by one tenth in just five years since he ascended the throne. He was so overjoyed that he rewarded the mother and daughter with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry on the spot.

After the banquet, the emperor, a little drunk, came to the queen's bedroom, Changle Palace.

Since ascending the throne, the emperor has come here only a few times, but on the day of the annual banquet, he will stay here overnight, which has become a routine.

The queen saw and thought clearly that compared with the newcomers in the palace, she was already old and ugly.

Although her son is the eldest son, he has not yet been appointed as the crown prince. She must think of some way, otherwise the bloody lessons of past dynasties may happen to her.

Especially Concubine Qin, who is the most favored one in these years.

While gently massaging the emperor's shoulders, she asked softly, "Your Majesty, is there any beauty you like at the banquet today?"

The emperor smiled, hugged the queen, slowly unbuttoned her collar and gently felt around inside: "Why, do you think I don't have enough concubines?"

The queen gently closed her eyes and responded to the emperor: "If your majesty is happy, I am happy too."

Great Xia Kingdom, the fourth year of Yongjia, June 13th.

Ever since Qin Haoran took over the position of commander from Mu Lie, the Yuelan Kingdom began to hang up the banner of no war and no longer launched attacks. The western border became peaceful. The emperor was very happy and promoted Qin Haoran to the rank of Right General.

At the same time, the young general Dongfang Yi repelled the Huns in the northern border, and the Huns' burning, killing and looting on the border were reduced a lot, so he was promoted to the rank of Left General.

Although the war in the south is still tense and Japanese pirates still appear frequently on the eastern coast, the situation in Daxia seems to be moving in a positive direction.

For the Mu family, although Mu Jinyan had been missing for nearly a month without any news, no news was already good news for them.

Xia Qin outside Xiling City was in a better and better mood these days. Mo Ye accompanied her most of the time, except for occasionally going out to buy some things, and guided her very patiently.

Although Xia Qin cannot jump more than ten meters like Mo Ye now, he is still light and strong, and his physical fitness is much better than before he traveled through time.

My physical condition is very good, so my mood is naturally good too, and I can occasionally watch Mo Ye's "love drama" to spice up my life.

She was kind of enjoying her current state. She had never felt so relaxed and happy in both time and space combined.

On this day, Xia Qin was practicing martial arts in the forest. Although she could not jump up like a bird like Mo Ye, she could easily jump three meters high.

She thought to herself that if she returned to the modern era, she could win the world championship in high jump and long jump.

From a distance, Xia Qin saw Mo Ye coming over, and she ostentatiously jumped in front of Mo Ye with the help of tree branches and trunks.

"Mo Ye, how is it? Do you look like a chivalrous butterfly in the forest?"

Mo Ye raised his eyebrows, smiled lightly and teased: "I didn't find the chivalrous butterfly in the forest, but I saw a green grasshopper jumping around."

Hearing Mo Ye teasing her, Xia Qin was about to lose her temper, but was interrupted by a woman's voice.

"Mo Ye! I didn't expect the rumors to be true. You are hiding here and hanging out with this vixen!"

The fifth one... one a week, it’s quite regular.

However, when did she become a vixen? Never mind. Xia Qin ran away like she did the previous times, ready to return to her own "audience seat".

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to run, Mo Ye grabbed her arm.

"Didn't we agree that you are not allowed to run away when something like this happens?" Mo Ye looked at Xia Qin lovingly and said in an ambiguous voice.

Oh my god! Xia Qin looked at Mo Ye, then at the woman with fire in her eyes.

Scumbag, what are you doing? ! What kind of trick is this?

Mo Ye took Xia Qin's arm, looked at the "heroine" who came this time with a very serious expression and said, "Lady Cheng, let me introduce you, this is my newlywed wife, Xia Qin."

After hearing Mo Ye's words, Xia Qin and Ms. Cheng both stayed where they were, and Xia Qin's heart was inexplicably shocked.

"You..." Lady Cheng was a little exasperated and said angrily, "Just you wait! Mo Ye, you bastard!"

My innocence! Watching the Cheng ladies leave one after another, Xia Qin struggled to break away from Mo Ye.

What is this Mo Ye doing? !

"I have only met these women a few times or even once. It's not what you think." Mo Ye explained to others for the first time, "I don't know how they knew I was here."

Xia Qin thought, is Mo Ye using me to make these Jianghu women stop disturbing his peace? Isn't this just tricking me?

She was about to express her dissatisfaction, but found that Mo Ye's expression gradually became serious. He walked up to Xia Qin and put his hands on her shoulders.

Xia Qin looked up at Mo Ye in confusion, and her heart began to panic. She thought to herself, is this a scumbag trying to put on a show? Should I refuse? How should I refuse?

However, Mo Ye's words surprised her again.

"Miss Mu, it's time for you to go home."

"Ah?" Xia Qin looked at Mo Ye blankly, feeling a little guilty, a little surprised, and a little disappointed.

"Let's talk inside."

After returning to the bamboo house, Mo Ye took out two missing person notices from his arms. The portrait on it was naturally Xia Qin, and Xia Qin knew what the words below said without even reading them.

Xia Qin looked at the notice without saying anything, and didn't know what to say.

It was Mo Ye who spoke again: "Brother Lu brought this back from the city yesterday. I asked around and found out that your father and brother have been back in the capital for more than half a month. They have been looking for you everywhere since they came back and they are almost sick with worry."

Mo Ye's words made Xia Qin recall the appearance of "her" father in her mind, the one who always looked serious to everyone but had a loving smile only to her, and the brother who never let her suffer any harm when he was around.

Xia Qin looked up at Mo Ye and was about to say something when she was interrupted by Mo Ye again.

"It's one month as agreed, and there's only one day left. I've taught you everything I should have, and the chronic toxins in your body have been almost cleared. I'll personally take you back home tomorrow."

"I..." After a month of living together day and night, Xia Qin couldn't help but feel reluctant to leave.

"I'll take you around later. We've been here for a month and it seems we've been staying near this bamboo house."

"Yeah!" Having said this, Xia Qin didn't say anything else.

It was already evening, and the two were walking side by side on the bamboo path. The rays of light shone through the bamboo forest, as if painting colorful notes on the road.

Xia Qin's reluctance surged up again. She looked at Mo Ye's profile. Although Mo Ye did not express it, his drooping right eye and tightly pursed lips also revealed his emotions.

The two walked quietly and soon reached the end of the bamboo forest. This time Mo Ye did not ask any questions. The two of them turned left at the same time in tacit understanding and walked towards the small town not far away.

The town was quieter than Xia Qin had imagined. There were few people on the streets, and most of the shops lining the road were no longer open. The whole town was lifeless, and even looked a little sad against the backdrop of the setting sun.

"Has it always been like this here?" Xia Qin couldn't help but ask.

Mo Ye shook his head: "Since the current emperor ascended the throne, there have been constant wars abroad, heavy taxes at home, and he himself has been extravagant and debauched. In five years, 400,000 soldiers have been killed. The military supplies and palace expenses are endless. Except for a few important cities such as the capital, many places have become like this small town."

"Your father, Mu Lie, helped Da Xia expand its territory and made many military achievements during the previous emperor's reign. He and General Su were the two pillars of Da Xia. However, when the new emperor ascended the throne, the old ministers would naturally be marginalized. Unless it was absolutely necessary, I'm afraid they would not be used again. However, the emperor is narrow-minded and mean, so it's not a bad thing for him to retire peacefully. It's just a pity for your brother."

Seeing that Mo Ye seemed to be introducing the background of the story to her, Xia Qin frowned and couldn't help but ask the question in her heart: "You already knew that I was the eldest daughter of the Mu family?"

Mo Ye smiled faintly and said, "The servant named Lu Liu is still with Brother Hong, and everyone in Daxia knows about the Mu Mansion, so it's not surprising that he knows your identity."

"Then why didn't you expose me these days?"

Mo Ye did not answer this question, but changed the subject: "Do you have a reliable maid in your house who can take care of people?"

This question made Xia Qin stunned. She didn't understand what he meant: "Why, do you want to arrange a maid for me?"

"Come on, I'll take you to see someone."
