The soul of a military doctor in the Secret Service enters the body of the daughter of the Prime Minister's first wife, persecuted by her father and his concubine, married off to the Prince Regent. Tormented by all sorts of traps and countless set-ups, she uses her medical skills to skilfully manoeuvre through the struggles in the mansion and the political intrigue of the inner court. From killing the Crown Prince, saving the Prince of Liang to curing plagues, she sheds her skin as a flinching little maiden and evolves into a strong lady, capable of standing by his side."If you sneak off again, I will cut off your short little legs. What Princess Consort would run about wildly with a child in her belly?""Jiangdong is infested with a plague. Naturally, as a government physician, I have to go. If you stop me, the epidemic will make its way to the capital." The Prince Regent scooped the long-winded woman into his strong arms and carried her back home. Hmph, there are plenty of government physicians. Why would they need a pregnant woman like you tagging along? Have you confused yourself with the Buddha? Don't you remember how vicious your methods were that year?

My children are going to think I’m a poor mother.”Qin Zhou scooped the five-year-old Hutou into her arms. “Who am I?”“Mom!” Hutou grinned, flashing his two little dimples. He was indescribably good-looking. Qin Zhou’s breath was immediately taken away. Everyone had expected Qin Zhou to prefer Tianen because Tianen was the spitting image of Zian especially at five years old. Her eyes and brows were clearly distinct, it was like they were carved from the same mold.However, Qin Zhou ended up preferring Hutou just because Hutou had called her mom during their first meeting. It was fate! Moreover, she had no plans to get married, but she needed an heir...Tianen tugged on Qin Zhou’s sleeves and swayed it with all her might. “Mother Empress, I want a hug too.”Qin Zhou scooped Tianen into her arms and kissed both the twins. “What
It was another midwinter night.It had been three years since Zian’s return. She had opened up a few medical halls in the capital. It was a joint venture with Rouyao. Rouyao had finally listed herself as a physician.Rouyao walked more confidently now that she was a listed physician.On the other hand, Chen Liuliu was feeling very proud of herself as well. She had given birth to six children in just three years.Murong Zhuangzhuang had given birth to a girl this year. She had bled profusely during birth. Although they had managed to save her life, she could never have children again. For this reason, she fell into depression for a long time. After all, she had wanted to help expand Xiao Xiao’s family line. Xiao Xiao was the Supreme General Zhenguo after all, she had to continue his family line. After all, only males could inherit the title of marquis. Without sons, the title would be given to someone else eventually.The most exuberant of all among the Xiao family members was Xiao
Zian put her head in her hands. At this point, she would prefer it if Murong Jie stayed ignorant about the pregnancy.Murong Jie put her under close surveillance. Zian could not escape so she had no choice but to send Murong Zhuangzhuang off to meet Consort Mei. She really wanted to do it herself so that she could check on Consort Mei’s injuries and listen to Consort Mei’s account regarding the matter. It would have been easier for her to evaluate and see if she had missed out on anything and also think of an excuse so that she could be ready for any unexpected circumstances.Unfortunately, Murong Zhuangzhuang was unwilling to do it despite receiving a message to visit Consort Mei in the palace from Murong Jie’s servant.After all, it was a rare chance for her Xiao Xiao to go boating. It had not been easy for them to spend time alone. She was definitely not going to give up this chance just to enter the palace.Murong Jie had no choice but to make a personal trip to the Princess’ m
Zian slept for nearly half an hour before Nanny Yang woke her up to have her meal. After her meal, she strolled around the courtyard. Once her food had digested, she had a bath and got dressed before waiting for Old Seventh. However, before he arrived, she began to feel sleepy again so she decided to take a nap and only have supper with him when he returned. She woke up to someone stroking her cheek. When she opened her eyes, she found a pair of deep and dark eyes staring into her drowsy gaze. She smiled and rubbed her cheek against his palm, “You’re back?”“I’m sorry. I had a drink with Second Brother and lost track of time,” Murong Jie said softly.“It’s alright.” Zian sat up, holding the blanket close to her. She asked, “How’s he?”Murong Jie sat down and sighed. “Pacified for the time being, but the longer this drags out, the more dangerous it will be. Furthermore, I’m not sure if Second Brother will be able to restrain himself. I’m afraid mother-in-law will be in danger.”“I’l
Everyone jumped with fright. Zian quickly bent down to help Nanny Yang up, but Qin Zhou stopped her. “You, sit down.”Rouyau helped Nanny Yang to her feet before using some medicinal oil and rubbed it on Nanny Yang’s Middle of the Person acupoint, pressing it a few times. After a while, Nanny Yang finally regained consciousness.When Nanny Yang regained consciousness, she wiped her tears that were streaming down her face as she stared at Zian. Her heart was thumping wildly in joy. She murmured, “The heavens is merciful. I’ll go on a vegetarian diet and read Buddhist scriptures from now on to thank the gods for their kindness.”Zian was moved. She wiped Nanny Yang’s tears and said, “Look at you, shouldn’t you be happy? Why are you crying? You’ve been hoping for me to conceive.”“I’m happy, I’m happy, I’m so happy!” Nanny Yang was so happy that she lost her composure. She looked at Zian carefully and asked, “Do you feel uncomfortable in any way? Do you feel nauseous?”Murong Zhuangz
Nanny Yang smiled as she walked over. “Oh, have I lost your favor?”Zian quickly swallowed the dessert and begged for mercy, “No, no, of course not. I’m just admiring your fine cooking skills.” She noticed Nanny Yang carrying a bowl of multi-colored balls and asked, “What are those? They can’t be glutinous rice balls, right?”“They’re sticky rice dumplings!” Nanny Yang put the five-color glutinous rice balls on the table. “I’ve just made this. Would you like to try them, Your Royal Highness?”Zian had eaten five-color glutinous rice balls from Suzhou back in the modern era. She remembered that they had been made from pumpkin, sesame, purple sweet potato, and glutinous rice flour. She took a bite and found that these were more delicious than the ones she had in the modern era. She asked, “Nanny, I can taste osmanthus in this. Did you include osmanthus in your recipe?”“That’s right.” Nanny Yang smiled. “Five-color glutinous rice balls. Every color contains different ingredients. How
Xiao Sun led two page boys who were carrying buckets of hot water toward the gateway, but she found Nanny Yang standing guard at the door with a knowing smile on her face.“Nanny, why aren’t you waiting on them inside?” Xiao Sun asked in confusion.Nanny Yang shushed her. “You should wait. Wait for them to summon you before you bring the hot water in.”“Wait? The water is hot. It should be poured into the bathtub to cool it down first,” Xiao Sun reasoned.“What’s the rush? Just wait a moment,” Nanny Yang said, “This matter is more important.”“What’s so important?” Xiao Sun asked curiously.“The matter regarding the Princess Regent’s conception. Isn’t that important?” Nanny Yang threw the question back with a grin. Zian had been drinking that medical brew for many days now, and Nanny Yang had secretly added a powerful medication in it. She had purposefully asked for a prescription to expel cold and to warm the uterus from a sage physician who had retired from the palace. She had
Murong Jie returned to his mansion after a long journey.Zian had the staff warm up the dishes and prepare the wine long ago, waiting for his return. She waited from five to seven in the evening and from around eleven to one at night before someone burst into the door from outside.Xiao Sun ran in with her small cheeks brimming with smiles. “Guess who’s back, Princess Regent?”Zian poked Xiao Sun’s in the head, “Who else?” After she finished speaking, she ran out.“The Princess Regent is certainly eager,” Xiao Sun remarked with a smile.Before Zian could run out from the gates of Pleasant Warmth Pavillion, she felt as though a shadow had engulfed the light. She lifted her head, but before she could get a good look, a pair of firm arms wrapped her against a pair of broad shoulders in an embrace. The man hugged her with all his might, nearly suffocating her.Zian’s eyes fogged over as she threw her arms around him. The smell of dust and earth engulfed her senses. “You’re finally ho
