Chapter 485 General Shi is coming
Liuli, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, probably guessed that there was something fishy about her sudden fear.
"But I haven't done anything recently, let alone eaten anything indiscriminately. What's wrong?"
Liuli frowned slightly and racked her brains to figure out the answer but couldn't.
She is a doctor herself, and she knows very well what taboos pregnant women should avoid in their daily lives. How could she touch something that she knows is harmful to pregnant women?
Unable to figure out the reason for the moment, everyone put the matter aside for the time being and hoped that Liuli would give birth to as many children as possible.
For Liuli, the whole night was pure torture. Even after she drank the painkillers that Ye Jintang prepared for her, she was still in excruciating pain.
It was daybreak and the heavy rain showed no sign of stopping.
Ye Jintang and Master Mu were running around in the tent in a panic, but Liuli just couldn't be born.
"Master, it's been four hours, why hasn't the baby been born yet?"
"It's not a big problem. Some pregnant women just take longer to give birth. Don't worry, Jintang."
Seeing Ye Jintang so anxious, Master Mu couldn't help but comfort her.
As the two were talking, there was a rush of horse hoof sounds outside the tent.
"Who came here in such a heavy rain?"
As soon as Ye Jintang finished speaking, the curtain of the tent was lifted and Shi Bin, wearing a straw raincoat, hurried in.
"General Shi?"
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen, and Master Mu. I am here to see my Liuli."
"You came at the perfect time. Liuli is giving birth."
Shi Bin, with his face wet with rain, never expected that when he came to pick up Liuli on a whim, he would find that she had just given birth.
As he was talking, Shi Bin wanted to go see Liuli, but was stopped by Ye Jintang.
"General Shi, you should change your clothes before coming back. You are wet and cold, so it's not easy for you to enter the delivery room."
"I was negligent. I'll go change my clothes right now."
Shi Bin was completely confused. He hurried into the tent, then rushed out in a hurry. After a while, he ran back in to see Liuli.
Seeing him like this, Ye Jintang found it very funny. He didn't expect that Shi Bin, who could lead thousands of troops to fight on the battlefield, would also be so nervous.
It was a coincidence that not long after Shi Bin entered the delivery room, Liuli gave birth to a daughter.
Shi Bin named his baby daughter Zhuzhu, which means the apple of his eye.
Liuli had just given birth to a child, and Ye Jintang didn't want her to be too tired, so he and his group went to Mucheng and let Liuli stay there to recuperate after the baby's birth before returning to the capital.
"Your Majesty, I will stay with Liuli in Mucheng. All matters in the capital will be handed over to Your Majesty."
Shi Bin stepped forward and saluted Xiao Mo. He had been smiling all day. If the nanny had not said that newborn babies should not be held all the time, he would have been able to hold Zhuzhu in his arms to see Xiao Mo at this moment.
"Okay, just take care of things yourself."
Xiao Mo is about to return to Beijing, so it’s not a big problem if Shi Bin is not in the capital, he can handle it alone.
"Your Majesty, there is something I am not sure whether I should tell you or not."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Just tell me what you want to say."
Looking at Shi Bin's hesitation, Xiao Mo felt strange. When did Shi Bin become so unhappy?
"It's about General Zhou. The emperor has been on the throne for quite a while, but he never mentioned Zhou Wuwei. Now he is still hanging in the South Camp."
Shi Bin struggled for a long time and didn't know where to start, but he could still see Zhou Wuwei's little thoughts.
Given Xiao Mo's jealous temper, he probably wouldn't be nice to Zhou Wuwei.
But Zhou Wuwei had made great contributions to Xiao Mo's ascension to the throne. He couldn't keep him hanging without giving him any official position.
"That's easy. I've already thought about it. General Zhou was stationed at the border all along. Let Zhou Wuwei go to the border as well, and take the Xuanjia Army with him."
"That's fine too."
Shi Bin said this, but in his heart he was severely complaining about Xiao Mo. He was indeed a jealous husband. Didn't Zhou Wuwei admire Ye Jintang? Why would he send him to the border?
But when he thought about it, if a young, handsome man with military power secretly liked his wife, he would probably go crazy.
After passing Mucheng, we arrived at Quyang City in a few days. From here we are very close to the capital city. If we take a horse carriage, we can reach the capital city in about five days.
The closer Ye Jintang got to the capital, the more worried he became.
The Qin Palace and the Imperial Palace are completely different.
After she returned to the capital, the first thing she had to deal with was how to balance the harem and the court.
It is impossible for her to guard such a huge harem for the rest of her life. She cannot have the space just for the convenience of growing flowers.
But the rule that the harem is not allowed to interfere in political affairs will become a stumbling block in her progress.
Especially with the precedent of Empress Dowager Dehui, if she interferes in politics, some old ministers may want to commit suicide by hitting the dragon pillar.
“This is a damn patriarchal society.”
Ye Jintang couldn't help but complain in her heart. The social status of women in Tianqin Kingdom has always been low. She hoped that through her efforts, the social status of women could be significantly improved, especially in terms of learning. She must set up a girls' school to teach the daughters of poor families to read and learn. Only by broadening their horizons can they correctly face all the hardships in the future.
But this is easier said than done.
Just like her training of a female doctor, this is not something that can be changed in a short period of time.
"What is Jintang thinking about?"
Seeing Ye Jintang leaning on a soft pillow with a notebook in her hand for a long time without turning a page, Xiao Mo couldn't help but move closer to her.
"Nothing, just a little irritated."
"What's wrong? We're going back to the capital soon. Shouldn't we be happy?"
"How can I be happy? Believe it or not, when I return to the capital, someone will immediately ask me to help the emperor select concubines to fill the harem."
"So you're worried about this. Don't worry, I've already punished all those restless people in the capital. They will definitely not do anything to bother you."
After hearing what Xiao Mo said, Ye Jintang remembered that Xiao Mo had arranged marriages for his subordinates.
She curled the corners of her lips and reached out to pinch Xiao Mo's cheek.
"You must remember, if I find out that you have slept with another woman, I will immediately take Ping Ping An and run away. Even if you turn the Tian Qin Kingdom upside down, you won't be able to find me."
"Don't worry, I won't give you this chance."
Xiao Mo grabbed Ye Jintang in his arms, kissed her lips fiercely, and whispered in her ear, "You are the only one I want in my life. No matter how good other women are, they are not worthy of my attention."
Holding his beloved tightly, Xiao Mo thought that the reason Ye Jintang thought this way was that he did not give her a sense of security.
He was just talking about the temporary situation, but in her opinion, it was just empty talk and she didn't know when the big picture would disappear.
He had to find a way to make Ye Jintang trust him and make her feel safe.
He just needed to think carefully about how to make her feel more secure, and not try to do something with good intentions but end up with a bad result.
