Traveling through troubled times: Princess disguises herself as a man and becomes a soldier to earn

Jiang Xueer shook her head: "No, Xueer is a princess and cannot leave the palace. If my sister takes me out, I will be hunted down and die."

Jiang Li jumped and was startled when he heard this. He almost fell off the roof. He lowered his head in disbelief and looked at the baby in his arms.

She is actually a princess, so isn't that her sister? How could a princess have such a miserable life and be bullied by palace maids? Look at how skinny she is, with only this little face to look at.

He is just skin and bones. How much abuse must he have suffered to be so thin?

"You...are actually a princess, so you can go out once in a while, right? I'll take you out to play, and as long as we bring you back and no one finds out, that'll be fine."

Jiang Xueer tilted her head, thought carefully, and nodded after a while: "Okay, as long as you come back, then sister won't be hunted down and can go out."

Jiang Li rubbed her little head and felt sorry for her appearance of a little adult. Alas, this ancient superstition, the little girl's mother died when she was born, and then there are these silver eyes.

It's easy to imagine that if you are not favored in the harem, even if you are a princess and are not favored by the emperor, you will be bullied by the palace maids. It's really pitiful. It's okay, she will protect you in the future.

She pinched her little face and said, "I will protect you from now on. If anyone bullies you, I will teach her a lesson."

Jiang Xueer's eyes flashed and she shook her head: "No, Xueer has to clean it up by herself. Don't dirty your sister's hands."

"...Alright, but what if you can't beat him?"

"There is a way."

Seeing that the little baby insisted, she said nothing more.

The two of them sneaked into the imperial kitchen, opened the lid, and each of them took a pair of chopsticks and started to eat voraciously. Jiang Li hugged her and urged her, "Eat quickly. Let's eat a little bit each, so that no one will notice anything is wrong."

Jiang Xueer nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to my sister."

Soon, the two had almost finished eating, and Jiang Li heard footsteps coming from outside.

"Shh, someone's coming, are you full?"

"I am full."

"Okay, I'll take you back then."

Jiang Xueer shook her head: "Sister, open that, I have something to do."

With a puzzled look on his face, Jiang Li opened the green earthenware jar, thinking that the baby wanted to eat it. Unexpectedly, the next second, the baby spat at the blood swallow inside.

"...??"

After spitting, he wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "Sister, it's okay."

Jiang Li suppressed his doubts, dodged outside, and prepared to ask the baby later, is the spitting a dining etiquette in the harem? Why did he spit on that one person?

After a few jumps, he came to the cold palace and put the baby on the ground: "Xue'er, what were you doing just now? Why were you just spitting in that earthenware jar?"

Jiang Xueer said seriously: "That's the imperial concubine's blood swallow. She drinks it every night. My mother used to be a maid who served the imperial concubine. They said that my mother was poisoned to death by the imperial concubine."

"My eyes also became like this because of the poison from the imperial concubine. I was born with eyes like this. It's unknown."

"…The imperial concubine's surname is Xue, right? She is the daughter of the treacherous minister. Xue'er, why didn't you tell me earlier? I would have vomited more. Now it's too late. I'm so disappointed."

Jiang Li's eyes were full of regret. Why didn't he add more information? The prime minister's daughter was the imperial concubine. They were really the same kind of people. Neither treacherous ministers nor treacherous concubines were good people.

Patiently said: "Xue'er, if something like this happens again in the future, you must tell me, and I will spit too."

Jiang Xueer looked confused, thinking that her sister also wanted to vomit: "Okay, I get it, we'll go together next time, sister, you should go back early, if you are discovered by the guards, you will die."

"Yeah, I'm leaving now. I'll take you out to play some other day. We've made a promise."

"Okay, it's a date."

Jiang Li waved his hand, and after a few jumps the figure disappeared.

Jiang Xueer stood there for a long time without moving. When she came to her senses, she went towards the palace maids' quarters and sneaked in like a mouse, holding a stone in her hand.

He smashed the sleeping palace maid on the head hard, and blood flowed down the edge of the bed. Jiang Xueer's silver eyes were full of ruthlessness, like an evil spirit, without any of the softness and cuteness from before.

Another maid came back from the toilet and shouted, "Ling'er, are you asleep? I'm a little scared. I really can't stay in this cold palace for a day. It's actually haunted."

"Let's go find our godfather tomorrow and ask him to change it for us...Ahhhhh!!"

When the moonlight came in, she saw the person on the bed, his eyes wide open, and she stepped back in fear. She tripped and fell to the ground, and before she could get up.

A sharp pain came from her head. She turned her head and saw a three or four-year-old child standing behind her. He looked at her expressionlessly and muttered, "Go to hell. Anyone who bullies me deserves to die."

It hit him again and again, and soon the man fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

Jiang Xueer threw the stone away and looked at the two palace maids with a strange smile on her face: "Sister, I will clean it up myself. I won't dirty your hands. Haha."

He took out a fire starter from his bosom, and calmly lit the curtain and the quilt on the corpses. He looked at the two burning corpses, tilted his head, and felt indescribably weird.

She turned around and left in a leisurely manner. Well, next time her sister comes to see her, there won't be anyone getting in the way. That's great.

Splendid Palace

The maid came over with a bowl of blood swallows and knelt on the ground: "My Lady, your blood swallows are ready and can be used."

A charming voice came from the soft couch, which made people unconsciously feel half of their body numb. They sat up, and a bit of fatigue appeared on their charming face.

"Hey, are there more fine lines at the corners of my eyes? No wonder His Majesty hasn't come to my place recently. I hate it so much."

"Bring the blood swallow over here."

The imperial concubine took a sip and wrinkled her eyebrows subconsciously. She muttered, "It's time to change the chef in the imperial kitchen. He's useless. He can't even control the heat when stewing blood swallows. Why is it so weird?"

"My queen, would you like the imperial kitchen to cook another portion?"

"No need. It's getting late. I need to rest. I don't have time to bother with them. If they do the same thing again next time, I'll drag them out and kill them. There's no point in keeping useless things alive."

The palace maids lowered their heads, not daring to breathe. Ever since the imperial concubine learned that the Mohists had won the battle, her expression had become increasingly grim. She would get angry and kill people at any time, and a whole group of palace maids had to be replaced.

If she were not an old woman, she could have combed the empress's hair into a beautiful bun. But I'm afraid she would have been executed too. It's so scary.

The imperial concubine drank all the wine in one breath and waved her hand: "Put away the things and go down. I am tired and want to rest. Ask Lan Xin to come and give me a massage."

"Yes, ma'am."

Soon Lan Xin came over and massaged her waist skillfully. Seeing her close her eyes and enjoy it, she raised her lips slightly and said, "Your Majesty, His Majesty asked Eunuch De to come and pass on his order. He will come to see you tomorrow."
