Quick Transmigration: My First Female Skill Takes Effect

At the banquet, the attendants added a seat for Zhao Yan, next to Gu Pingsheng.

Wen Zheng and Zhao Yifeng continued the banquet with calm expressions, but Zhao Qi knew that the calmer her parents appeared on the surface, the colder they were inside.

They kept the news of Gu Pingsheng's return a secret from Zhao Yan.

But Zhao Yan now knows.

The banquet ended in an eerie calm, with everyone lost in their own thoughts.

Zhao Qi walked between his parents, and the family of three left in the sight of everyone. As for Zhao Yan, the eldest son of the Zhao family, the magistrate and his wife did not ask a single question.

Zhao Yan clenched his fist, a disappointed smile on his face. He didn't regret rushing over.

Gu Pingsheng looked at him with a hint of worry.

Madam Gu, also known as Chen Ruoqing, had a cold glint in her eyes. Gu Sanlang's current sorrow was something he had never shown to his deceased nephew.

She wasn't going to put up with it any longer.

Madam Gu and her sister-in-law exchanged a glance and nodded knowingly.

The earthquake in the south displaced more than 10,000 people. Soon, flags were raised in several places, but the people in the capital still did not intend to help.

The decision on the throne is about to be made.

In January, a snowstorm affected more than ten states, and in March, people in two northern states also raised the flag.

May floods.

One natural disaster after another seemed to be bringing about the demise of the Great Wei Dynasty.

In June, a military governor in the south raised a large banner.

In July, the emperor's throne was finally settled, but the country was engulfed in war, including Youzhou.

Zhao Yifeng also raised a large flag, but amidst the chaos of war, he was not so conspicuous.

Time flows on, and years pass by.

Six years have passed.

Zhao Qi was thirteen years old, a proper young girl, and she was even taller than a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.

Standing in the army, he was the height of a soldier.

Riding a large white horse, wearing white armor, with stern eyes and a silver spear in his hand, he led his men to charge towards the city gate.

The vanguard battalion has already climbed the city wall and opened the gate.

The army entered.

Thirty men on horseback relayed military orders: "No killing, humiliation, or theft of civilians is permitted; violators will be punished according to military regulations."

Zhao Qi entered the governor's mansion and collected the household registers and other documents from the yamen, so that they could be processed later when the people in charge of general affairs arrived.

There was a map on the table.

She stood at the head, Zhao Buqi stood behind her, and Zhao Yue stood to one side; she was a lieutenant general.

Zhao Qi looked at the map and gave the order: "Rest for a day, then the army will head towards the capital. I want to be the first to open the gates of the capital."

She wasn't the only one leading the team; Gu Pingsheng, Zhao Yan, and Zhao Yifeng's generals also participated.

The generals clasped their hands in a fist salute: "Yes."

They wanted that credit too.

Three days later, Zhao Qi arrived at the city walls of Shangjing and ordered his soldiers to use megaphones to shout at the people on the city walls: "Those who surrender will not be killed."

Those who submit are considered my compatriots.

"The one who helps me open the city gates will be granted the title of Earl."

The sound of the loudspeakers throughout the day was known to everyone on the city walls and in the palace.

The next day.

The city gates opened, and the emperor, bound with ropes, was brought before her, with the prime minister holding the imperial seal.

His hair was white as he knelt on the ground, holding up the jade seal tray: "Welcome General Zhao."

Zhao Qi dismounted, and Zhao Buqi took the tray and handed it to her, saying, "My lord."

"My lord, please rise."

Zhao Qi's address of "Sir" was an acknowledgment of his merits, and Miao Xiangong bowed and thanked him.

She gave the order that military discipline must not be violated.

He turned around, mounted his white horse, held the imperial seal in his hand, and swaggered into the palace.

Soon.

Zhao Yifeng and Wen Zheng came from Youzhou and moved into the palace. Zhao Qi then went to personally lead an expedition to the south. Two years later, the world was unified.

The country was named Xia.

Zhao Yifeng declared himself emperor, known as Emperor Yuan, and Wen Zheng declared herself empress, known as Empress Yuan.

It began when the two emperors held court.

As for the crown prince, he was also appointed on the same day, and Zhao Qi was made crown prince of the dynasty.

The investiture of the two emperors and the crown prince took place on the same day three months later.

The grand ceremony was completed, and a new dynasty began.

It was January 21st again, Zhao Qi's birthday. The two emperors decided to have a family gathering first, and then go to the front hall to celebrate with the officials.

Wen Zheng put down the memorial in her hand and thought again of the letter that A Qi had given her after she entered the capital.

Ask her mother what kind of empress she wanted to be.

Was she brought into the harem or was she chosen to serve under the dual emperors?

After calming her racing heart, Wen Zheng immediately replied, saying that she wanted the two emperors to rule the court and asked her daughter for help.

As expected, just as the mother and daughter had hoped, they obtained it.

Zhao Yue was the first to arrive. After the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty, she was enfeoffed as the Prince of Jin and also served as the Minister of the Imperial Clan Court. Fortunately, there were not many members of her Zhao family, so she had some free time.

"Mother, have they not arrived yet?"

Wen Zheng: "No, you're the first one here."

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

Zhao Qi's voice came from outside: "Who's the first one?"

She wore a veil on her head and a purple, round-necked, narrow-sleeved robe, with the heads and tails of four-clawed golden dragons embroidered in gold thread on both sides of her arms.

He was wearing a white cloak.

He had a pair of almond-shaped eyes, but his gaze was sharp, and most people dared not meet his eyes.

His perfectly proportioned, approachable, and gentle features led many in the court to praise him as a worthy successor to the emperor. In other words...

If the emperor dies, they can immediately support the crown prince to ascend the throne and secure their rule over the country.

Zhao Yue stood up, her face bearing a perfectly respectful and friendly smile. Since ancient times, the order has always been ruler and subject, so she cupped her hands in greeting.

"My sister is always so polite."

Zhao Qi, holding Zhao Yue's hand, led her towards Wen Zheng, and then bowed to her mother in greeting.

Then, with a cheerful smile, she asked about the gift her mother had prepared for her.

Then he turned to Zhao Yue and said that her gift couldn't be missing either.

Amidst the joyful atmosphere, Zhao Yan arrived with Wu Xin and their child. However, the moment she stepped inside and met Zhao Qi's gaze, she was overjoyed.

Zhao Qi noticed his stiffness, but he quickly recovered.

Zhao Yan cupped his hands in greeting to the Emperor and the Crown Prince. Zhao Yue stood aside, waiting for them to rise so they could exchange greetings.

"Big brother."

"Sister."

Zhao Yan was also granted the title of Prince for his military achievements, but his title was Gong.

In the eyes of the court officials, this was a very clear signal: "Respect" meant being content with one's lot and not having any improper thoughts.

However, Zhao Yan did not like it.

The next Zhao Huan slowly approached and saw the Prince of Jin's elder sister and the Prince of Gong's elder brother sitting on his left and right sides, and then looked at the Empress Dowager's mother and the Crown Prince's younger sister in the main seat.

Well, he's not bad either, just an ordinary Prince Ping.

He felt that his title of king was somewhat inflated.

Because his whole family had military achievements, only he relied on his blood ties with everyone else.

When I was young, I was sometimes resentful of my parents' favoritism towards my younger sister, but she treated him well and always gave him something.

I'll give it to him first.

For example, with glass bottles, all the ones from the first batch were sold, but he was the first one from the second batch.

Zhao Huan was moved, thinking that it was her parents' fault and had nothing to do with her younger sister, so she went against her parents and befriended her younger sister.

He even dreamed that one day, with his talent, he would make his parents look at him with new eyes.

But reality is reality, and among his siblings, he turned out to be the most ordinary one.

But the thought of his title immediately soothed Zhao Huan's resentment.

He had just sat down when his saintly father arrived.

Back home, I wrote this down in my notebook: Today's family dinner featured outstanding family members and an ordinary me.
