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

Jiang Xueer's eyes were full of admiration. Her sister was so powerful. She also wanted to learn from her sister and become as powerful in the future. Then, if anyone bullied her, she could just kill him/her directly without having to work so hard like she did now.

Jiang Li really enjoyed the look in his sister's eyes. It felt really good to be needed by a little baby.

"Sister, I want to learn, okay?"

"Learn martial arts?"

"Yes."

Seeing that she was a little hesitant, Jiang Xueer kissed her on the face without hesitation, looking at her with starry eyes. The look of treasure... was irresistible.

Jiang Li nodded: "Sure, as long as you can endure the hardship."

Jiang Xueer raised her little fist: "Sister, Xueer is not afraid of hardship. As long as I can learn martial arts, Xueer can do anything."

"Okay, I'll teach you when I get back. Let's just have fun today."

He rubbed her neck and said softly, "Well, sister is so nice. Xue'er likes it."

Seeing this, the old man smiled kindly and handed over the most beautiful revolving lantern in his hand: "Girl, take the lantern. These two lotus lanterns are for you."

Jiang Li blinked his eyes and said happily: "Thank you, Grandpa."

He took it and said, "Xue'er, let's go put up the lotus lanterns first. I'll give you this revolving lantern. You can hang it up in your room. It's very interesting. Look, it can even turn."

"Well, Xue'er listens to your sister."

The big one and the small one stepped off the stage. Just after taking two steps, they heard a familiar voice: "Wang Xiaosan...?"

Jiang Li turned around and saw that it was an acquaintance. He was a little surprised: "Young General, Young Master, why are you here?"

Mo Jue looked at the girl in her arms and had some guesses in her mind. She was afraid that the eldest princess had abducted the fourth princess to play. Alas, if His Majesty found out, she would be punished.

He said, "How about going to the river?"

"it is good"

The four of them came to the river. The Mo Jue brothers looked at each other, feeling helpless. If they told the princess about what had happened, she would definitely be unhappy. If they didn't tell her, what if His Majesty found out...

His eyes fell on the two figures, one big and one small, who looked as if nothing had happened. Their moon-white dresses seemed to glow under the moonlight, exuding a sense of coldness.

Jiang Li lit a lotus lantern, placed it in the river with Jiang Xueer, closed his eyes and made a wish: he hoped that Qi would not perish, and that he could just lie down and live like a salted fish forever, without struggling, as a life of struggle was meaningless.

Jiang Xueer also followed suit: she hoped that she could learn martial arts so that she could protect herself and her sister in the future.

They all opened their eyes and looked at each other, then said happily, "Sister, it's so fun outside the palace."

"Well, if you like, I'll sneak you out later."

"Good."

Mo Yuan pressed his forehead upon hearing this and looked at the moon-white figure: "Princess, you cannot leave the palace without permission. If His Majesty finds out, you will be punished."

Jiang Li said casually: "Young General, it's okay. I won't be discovered. The guards in the palace won't notice me leaving the palace. Even if I am discovered, I will just kneel down to the ancestors."

"I think it's great. If I can kneel, I can eat the tributes and won't go hungry. Thank you for your concern. Don't worry about me."

...That's not what he meant. There's also kneeling before the ancestors. Who dares to eat the tribute? Looking at the person in front of her, well, there's nothing she doesn't dare to do.

With this person in the palace, I'm afraid there will be chaos.

Mo Jue looked at his third brother who was choking, and smiled, "Princess, why did you bring the fourth princess here? When did you two meet?"

Jiang Li glanced at the baby and said vaguely, "I met her in the palace. As for bringing Xue'er out, it's because tonight is the Lantern Festival. There is no curfew. I can buy food, drinks and other necessities when I come out."

Oh, well, there’s no way to explain it clearly, everyone has their own opinion.

An adult and a child sat on the lawn, calmly eating melon seeds. Their appearance of not caring about their manners made the other two people feel a little annoyed.

Jiang Li handed a bag of melon seeds in their direction and said politely, "Here, let's eat together. The melon seeds here are delicious."

The two brothers shook their heads: "No, Princess, you eat it yourself."

"Oh, okay then."

Mo Yuan looked up at the sky, a little worried that she would be discovered if she came back late. Just as he was about to speak, he saw her take off her veil and said happily, "Hey, it's more comfortable to eat like this. The veil is in the way."

The little girl's pretty face, dark and bright eyes, and the happiness radiating from her whole body caught his eyes, and for a moment he forgot what he was going to say.

Then I sat down, looking at the river lanterns shining like stars in the sky, and my heart slowly calmed down.

Jiang Xueer stared at him vigilantly. Her sister was hers, and no one was allowed to snatch her away from her. Otherwise, she would kill them.

Mo Yuan met the wolf cub's eyes, curled his lips, and said casually: "The eldest princess and the fourth princess are indeed sisters. They have only met a few times, but their relationship is so good."

"Well, the Major General is right. After all, they all have the same father, and Xue'er is so cute, who can not like her?

"Ha, the Princess has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Jiang Li's hand froze. Uh, she forgot she had a brother.

"No, I don't know where he is. No one told me. Oh, I didn't buy food for my brother. Hey, Xue'er, when we go back later, bring back a braised pig's head for my brother."

"He has been in the palace all his life, so he must have never eaten Uncle Zhang's pig head. Take it back and let him taste the delicacy from the people."

Jiang Xueer's eyelashes fluttered as she said in a baby voice, "Sister, the prince brother might not like Pighead."

Jiang Li tilted his head: "Oh, then what does he like?"

"Pig's feet, pig's feet are more delicious, pig's head is not delicious."

"Is that so? Then buy them all. I have money, so I don't mind. Send some to mother to try. It's delicious to chew on the braised pork trotters."

Mo Yuan and Mo Jue were uncontrollable as they thought about the scene: the gentle Crown Prince and the dignified and generous Queen, both holding the pig's trotter and gnawing on it.

I couldn't help but shudder. The scene was too beautiful, so I decided not to think about it.

Just as he was about to say something to persuade them that they might not like that thing, he heard Jiang Li clapping his hands and said with a firm look in his eyes, "Then it's happily decided. We'll go buy it later."

"If you go too late, Uncle Zhang will close his stall."

Jiang Xueer nodded repeatedly: "Okay, sister."

A few people brought another stick of incense. The wind was a bit cold, so Jiang Li prepared to take off his coat and put it on the little baby. Treasures are very fragile and can easily die if they get sick.

Haven’t you seen that the population in the last days is decreasing year by year? It’s because it’s difficult to give birth and raise children. It was the same in ancient times. Medical conditions were backward and a cold could cause death.

When Mo Yuan saw her trying to untie her belt, his scalp suddenly felt numb, and he hurriedly said, "Princess, I will give you your outer robe, don't take it off."
