Yunxia's Quick Transmigration Journey
Chapter 24 Ancient Little Concubine's Daughter 14
The eldest son, Zhou Jingxu, officially began his martial arts career when he was three years old.
In the same year, Yunxia became pregnant again and gave birth to her second son, Zhou Jingrui. Because a heavy snow fell on the border when she gave birth, and as the saying goes, "auspicious snow foretells a bumper harvest," she named him Zhou Jingrui.
Yunxia never stopped practicing medicine, and during this time she also taught batches of doctors who were good at treating external injuries, since surgeons were in short supply during wartime.
In war, brothers fight side by side; in battle, fathers and sons go to war together. As Zhou Haochen's sons, it's inevitable that at least one of them will take their father's place in the army when they grow up. For their future safety, Zhou Haochen has no choice but to cultivate their martial arts skills and military awareness from a young age.
To give her children more options, and after figuring out that twins were no longer considered unlucky in this era, she chose to have another pair of twins.
Zhou Haochen had his own reasons for being in this position. On the battlefield, swords and spears have no eyes. If he were to sacrifice himself, the others would be able to shoulder the burden. This was also a tragedy of an era.
Zhou Haochen had just finished the soldiers' training and hurriedly went to the camp. As soon as he opened the tent, he heard:
The four little radish heads, big and small, cried out, "Father! Father!"
The youngest twins, Zhou Jingshan (three) and Zhou Jingsi (four), climbed directly up Zhou Haochen's chest along his clothes and trouser legs, and then hugged his neck from both sides, hanging on him.
Zhou Haochen shushed them and led the four of them into Tiezhu's tent.
It is worth mentioning that Tie Zhu has become Zhou Haochen's deputy general, and three years ago he won the heart of the beauty, marrying Xiao Tao, the girl Yun Xia saved.
Now, Xiao Tao is a renowned surgical expert. Yun Xia devoted herself to teaching her medical skills, and she lived up to expectations by studying diligently and earnestly. In the end, she not only became a female doctor but also found a beautiful marriage.
After seeing the children off, Zhou Haochen returned to his tent and looked at Yun Xia, who was still fast asleep, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her.
"Husband, we made another batch of wound medicine yesterday. This one is made with the best formula available so far," Yunxia said while yawning.
"Thank you for your hard work, Madam," Zhou Haochen said apologetically. "Since you married me, you've been constantly busy for the soldiers. I owe you so much."
Yun Xia waved her hand dismissively, "I studied medicine to heal the sick and save lives, and soldiers are also people of this world."
Zhou Haochen felt that his wife was a goddess descended to earth to save the world. After many years of marriage, he knew that his wife was shy and disliked excessive praise. He said affectionately, "My wife is righteous, and I admire her greatly."
Yunxia thought that she just wanted to live a long, long life, after all, the golden light of merit could protect the soul.
After Yunxia washed up, the two of them ate with the child and then began their own busy day.
Yunxia and her fellow disciples opened a pharmaceutical factory in the border region, and Zhou Haochen would purchase finished pills from there every year as military supplies.
As a mother of four sons, Yunxia is now twenty-eight years old, but due to taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill and Beauty Pill powder, she looks like an eighteen-year-old girl.
Now 32 years old, Zhou Haochen possesses a mature charm. Years of battlefield experience have imbued his brows with a chilling, murderous aura that makes people hesitant to approach him.
Only in front of his wife and children would he shed his cold exterior and reveal his most vulnerable side.
News spread throughout the capital that the old emperor had suddenly passed away, and the throne had been passed to the male protagonist—the sixth prince, Feng Ziye.
With the new emperor's ascension to the throne, a new emperor brings a new court, and Zhou Haochen was summoned to return to the capital with his family.
Because Zhou Haochen didn't interfere in their struggle for the throne, he was still considered useful to the new emperor. After all, Zhou Haochen had made invaluable contributions in protecting the borders for many years.
After the family of six returned to the capital, they first went to the general's mansion of Zhou Haochen's father.
As for Zhou Haochen's father, although his son had become cold towards him, he could still win over his grandson's heart, so he was extremely enthusiastic towards the children.
Yunxia naturally wouldn't stop the children from being close to their grandfather. After years on the battlefield, the old general's health had deteriorated significantly, and he was only able to live for another two or three years thanks to the support of good medicine. He probably wouldn't live to see his four grandchildren get married and have children.
Yunxia also told Zhou Haochen about what she had observed. Zhou Haochen was not saddened by this, and only said, "Yes, it's all fate."
After years of tacit understanding, he knew that his wife's words meant the other person was beyond saving and there was no way to salvage the relationship. Otherwise, his kind wife would surely have told him about the treatment methods as well.
As Zhou Haochen had suspected, she was powerless to do anything about it.
After dressing neatly according to the rules, the couple went together to attend the palace banquet hosted by the new emperor.
After entering the palace, Yunxia was assigned to the same seat as her mother, a table for noblewomen. The mother and daughter had barely met when they were summoned away by Consort Rou from the inner palace.
Yunxia said, "My elder sister has now become Consort Rou and has even been officially employed. That's good. It's much better than the ending in my previous life when I was sent out of the palace and forced to commit suicide."
The system detected that Yun Wanrou is gentle and grateful for your donation of medicine years ago. The host is safe on this trip and there is no need to worry.
Yunxia: "I'm not worried about my safety on this trip. I'm just marveling at the change in my elder sister's fate and I'm a little curious about the female lead's status."
The system states, "The female lead is a concubine in the Prince's mansion. After the male lead ascends the throne, she becomes an Imperial Noble Consort. The former Princess Consort becomes the Empress, and the former concubine becomes a Noble Consort. The four earliest concubines in the Prince's mansion are promoted to the rank of Consort."
Yunxia: "Oh wow, the Imperial Noble Consort is equivalent to the Empress. Generally, the Empress is not appointed as an Imperial Noble Consort while she is alive. Is the male lead dissatisfied with the Empress, or is he deeply in love with the female lead?"
Yunxia and her companion walked along the long palace road and finally arrived at the residence of Consort Rou in the inner palace.
When Yun Wanrou saw the mother and daughter from afar, she prepared to go out to greet them, but was persuaded not to by her personal nanny.
"This humble woman pays respects to Consort Yun." The mother and daughter greeted Consort Yun respectfully. Then, Yun Wanrou dismissed the palace servants, and the three of them began to talk about the recent situation at home.
Yunxia stood quietly beside her mother, only answering politely when asked by the mother and daughter, behaving like a proper housewife.
The banquet began quickly. Yunxia only ate a little bit of the somewhat cold food at the table, spending the rest of the time watching the performances. After all, entertainment options were relatively limited in ancient times.
At the banquet, the noble ladies who were interested in the imperial harem all tried their best to impress the emperor.
The banquet was filled with the sounds of string and wind instruments. For a time, people were playing instruments, dancing, painting on the spot, and giving speeches. Everyone was showing off their unique talents. Yunxia was truly treated to a feast for the eyes.
Two handsome young men with rosy lips and white teeth wielded their swords with great skill and power, a sight to behold that captivated Yun Xia.
Zhou Haochen kept a close eye on his wife's situation, and seeing this, he knew perfectly well that her habit of admiring beautiful women had resurfaced.
Yun Xia glanced around casually and met Zhou Haochen's dark, inky eyes. Feeling a little guilty, she looked away.
More than a month has passed since the palace banquet. Although Zhou Haochen is eager to return to the border, the new emperor has not given the order, and the garrison commander has not been selected. Therefore, the two of them cannot act on their own.
Six months later, several large and small disturbances had broken out on the border. After much deliberation, the new emperor finally allowed the couple to take their young son back to the border, while the eldest and second sons were granted special permission to stay in the capital to care for General Zhou.
"Husband, Jingxu and Jingrui are being kept in the capital to control us, aren't they? Aren't they a bit narrow-minded?" Yunxia muttered, pointing to the sky.
Zhou Haochen: "Jingxu and Jingrui are already sensible. Let Master Lin Yan stay by their side to protect them and teach them martial arts."
Later I will go and invite my former teacher to come out of seclusion and teach them to read.
"Madam, don't worry too much. We'll come to see them every year from now on. When they're older, they can come back to the border to visit us."
What could Yunxia do? The emperor's order could not be disobeyed, so Yunxia had no choice but to compromise. The couple took the twins back to the military camp.
Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. When the twins were two years old, Yunxia gave birth to another daughter.
Now her daughter is eight years old and looks like a little fairy child under the seat of Guanyin, with delicate features and unparalleled cuteness.
Although the couple doted on their daughter, they did not raise her to be arrogant. Yunxia treated all the children's studies equally.
Although they receive the same education, each child has different strengths.
Although all five children are talented in both literature and martial arts, the eldest son and the third son are skilled in martial arts, the second son is fond of literature, and the fourth son is fond of medicine and loves to study difficult and complicated diseases.
The daughter was skilled in using and detoxifying poisons and loved gold and silver jewelry. Therefore, after she came of age, she often wore a human skin mask when doing business.
Regarding her children's future marriages, Yunxia called them all to her side and told them, "If you have someone you like, you can tell us. We are not the villains who break up couples."
It's best to marry someone of equal social standing, but even if they are not, we won't object as long as they are of good character.
But you chose your partner yourselves, so be careful. If you let someone with ulterior motives into our home, you'll have to bear all the consequences yourself.
“You have all studied medicine with me since you were young. Although you are not as proficient as Xiao Si, you should know that it is not easy for a woman to give birth after the age of eighteen and damage her body.”
So you can get married at any age, but don't have children too early.
Seeing her sons' faces flushed red, Yunxia took a sip of water and told them to disperse.
As a doctor, she didn't see anything wrong with stating these common-sense facts.
Later, the children all got married and had their own lives. Their eldest son, Jingxu, gained the recognition of the soldiers for his military achievements. After Zhou Haochen resigned, he was appointed by the new emperor as a new general to continue guarding the border.
Yunxia felt sorry for her eldest son, who would be stuck here for the rest of his life, and wanted to comfort him before returning to the capital.
Seeing the pain mixed with guilt in his parents' eyes, Zhou Jingxu suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Dad, you're getting old, it's time for you to go home and retire. From now on, I'll be a great general, hahaha, you can't beat me up anymore!"
Yunxia was shocked, bewildered, and then relieved. What she saw as a place of shackles was, in her eldest son's eyes, a place where dreams could be realized.
Zhou Haochen immediately retorted with a dark expression, "You may be the King of Heaven, but I'm still your father. I'll beat you up no matter what."
