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

Jiang Xueer turned around, picked up the broken revolving lantern, and prepared to repair it tomorrow. She couldn't let her sister see that it was broken. It was all because of her uselessness that she couldn't even protect the things her sister gave her.

She sniffed and held back her tears. She didn't cry. It was useless to cry as it would only make the palace maids and eunuchs think it was fun to bully her and they would bully her endlessly.

She just needs to be like this. If anyone else comes, she will just kill him.

He walked with his short legs to the kitchen to boil some hot water, and washed himself clean from head to toe until there was no trace of blood left. He moved his nose and smelled something fragrant.

My sister said this is called soap, and it smells so good.

Jiang Xueer wiped the water off her body and washed the bloodstained clothes with the bath water. She thought to herself that she would not wear the new clothes bought by her sister in the future because they would easily be stained with blood after killing someone.

It's hard to wash if it gets dirty.

He worked until midnight, and at dawn the next day, he began to wash away the bloodstains in the corridor. After cleaning it up, he went to the bamboo forest to cut small bamboos to prepare to repair the revolving lantern.

the other side

Jiang Li looked at the faint, somewhat collapsed Nanny, blinked his eyes, and looked very innocent: "Nanny Wu, are you okay? You are not suffering from asthma, you are breathing so hard."

The beauty who was so beautiful that she shrank back at the side lowered her head hastily upon hearing this, not daring to look again. Her shoulders were only trembling, and it was obvious that she was trying very hard to hold back her laughter.

As expected of the eldest princess, she is the only one who can make the nanny so angry that she almost died.

Nanny Wu was also depressed. It took her three years to teach the princess the palace rules, but now, not only did the marriage fail, but she also lost her memory.

The problem is that amnesia is nothing, but how can one forget the palace rules? She has to start all over again if it takes another three years to teach her. She might as well hang herself. There is no way she can be taught.

Thinking about it, she felt that life was meaningless.

Wu Momo tried hard to suppress his anger. Looking at the person who couldn't sit or stand, he wanted to poke his eyes out. He gritted his teeth and said, "Princess, I just told you."

"You should sit with your back straight, legs together, and hands folded up and down. You must not sit like this... This is detrimental to the royal family's reputation."

Jiang Li sat up and tried to imitate them. She felt sore in her waist and back and was very uncomfortable. She wanted to be a princess just to lie down and be a salted fish. Why should she learn so many rules?

Being a puppet is worse than being a soldier.

Thinking of this, his straight back immediately collapsed, and he stretched out like noodles. He leaned back in the chair and looked at her with clear eyes.

"Madam Wu, please give up. I simply can't learn it. Don't waste your time. I'm worried that if you continue to teach me, I might have a stroke."

Nanny Wu was shaking as if she had Parkinson's disease. Her whole body was trembling and she was staring at her with wide eyes as if she wanted to eat her.

"Okay, very good. The eldest princess is so undisciplined, so I can only tell the queen the truth. I really can't teach her. The princess can only expect to be looked down upon by her husband's family in the future."

"I don't understand the rules at all. How will I get married in the future? This old servant is doing this for the princess's good, but it's a pity that the princess doesn't appreciate it. So forget it."

Jiang Li felt that her concept was a bit problematic, and said seriously: "Madam, I think you are wrong. I am the legitimate princess of Qi State. Even if I look for a consort, I should be superior."

"Whoever dares to say that I have bad rules, do you think I am dead?"

Nanny Wu was choked and said helplessly, "Princess, think about it. You can't keep doing this after you get married. Your mother-in-law will look down on you and she will have a problem with you. What should you do then?"

"Oh, what you mean is, if she dares to make things difficult for me, then what? Do I need to follow the family rules to punish her? Ha, if she dares, I will come back to ask my father for a divorce letter."

"We'll investigate later. If there's corruption, we'll just execute them all and replace them with a new consort."

Seeing her stunned, Jiang Li called out, "Mammy, do you think what I said makes sense? What you are worried about will not happen, and no one dares to treat me like this, so it doesn't matter whether you learn this rule or not."

"Who told me to reincarnate? As a legitimate princess of the royal family, I have a lot of rights. Don't you know that, Madam?"

Nanny Wu was unable to catch her breath, her eyes went dark, and she fell straight down. She was still thinking before she fainted.

As long as she is not allowed to teach the eldest princess again, I am willing to shorten my life by ten years.

Seeing the person fainted, Jiang Li walked forward and stretched out his hand to test, then breathed a sigh of relief: "Luckily he is not dead, I was scared to death. Bi Yue, please quickly find the imperial physician to take a look."

"...Yes, I will go right away."

Xiuhua stayed and came closer to ask, "Princess, we have embroidery this afternoon, you won't make people faint again, will you?"

"Tsk tsk, look at what Xiaoxiuhua said. I, your princess, have always been kind. How could I deliberately make people angry? It's obviously because they didn't teach well and kept talking about women's virtues every day."

Jiang Li's head hurts when he hears about women's virtues. What about the three obediences and four virtues, not being jealous, being considerate to husbands, and obeying their wishes? Damn, that's not what a normal person should learn.

She doesn't want it. What if she is assimilated? She is unique and a different firework.

Soon the imperial physician came and carried the person away.

After lunch, Jiang Li took a short nap and was woken up by Bi Yue: "Princess, it's time to learn embroidery."

Jiang Li yawned, and like a wandering soul, came to the embroidery room, looking at the dignified and elegant lady-in-waiting of the Shangyi Palace standing not far away.

"Maid Ziyi from the Imperial Clothing Palace greets Her Royal Highness the Princess. May Her Royal Highness be well and safe."

"Well, sir, let's get started."

"...Yes, Princess, please start with splitting the thread first. We will take our time with the embroidery. There is no need to rush."

Listening to the gentle voice of the beauty, Jiang Li was in a good mood, staring at her with his eyes: "Sir, you have a great temperament."

Zi Yi was stunned for a moment, not understanding why she was praised for no reason. Looking at her dark eyes, she felt relieved a little. She thought the eldest princess was so scary.

That's why the maids went crazy and dizzy, but now it seems that it's not so bad and not as scary as they said.

Look, he is not just obedient, but... he used too much force and broke the splitting line. He just needs to try more. She has great confidence in the eldest princess.

Half an hour passed quickly.

The smile on Zi Yi's face could no longer be maintained. Looking at the bunch of broken lines, there was a look of confusion on his face.

"Princess, please be a little gentler with your embroidery. You need to be more careful with it, or it will break easily."

Jiang Li also sighed. She liked this embroidery teacher very much and really wanted to learn, but she was too strong and couldn't split the thread at all. It broke when she scratched it with her fingernail.

He looked at her with tears in his eyes: "I'm sorry, sir. I didn't mean to do that. I just used too much strength and couldn't control it. Alas."

Seeing her dejected look, Zi Yi found it a little funny: "It's okay, let's try a few more times, there's no rush."
