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

The Queen asked in confusion, "Li'er, what kind of medicine is that? Who gave it to you? You must not trust quack doctors. Even the imperial physician can't do much to cure your prince brother's health."

"We can only take care of him slowly, fearing that he will be harmed. He still hasn't married a crown princess. Sigh, it's so frustrating."

Jiang Li said solemnly: "The medicine for the queen mother will definitely work. You have heard of the Mu family, a century-old medical family. I saved the son of the Mu family, and he gave me this medicine."

Of course, she also added the blood of a psychic. Improving her physical condition is not a problem, but it cannot be too obvious, otherwise people will suspect her. It is best to do it slowly.

Seeing her daughter so confident, the queen nodded and said, "That's good. Mother can rest assured now. I will punish the imperial concubine so that she won't bully the concubines day by day."

Jiang Li hummed, stood up and prepared to leave, then heard the eunuch's voice outside: "Her Majesty, please accept the order."

Seeing the princess was also there, Defu smiled and said, "That's great. It saves me from having to go look for the princess. His Majesty has given a verbal order to the Queen and the princess to go hunting together in three days."

"This is a rare honor. Among the concubines in the harem, Your Majesty only brought the Queen this time. The eldest princess... is good at fighting, so Your Majesty will feel more at ease if she goes with him."

Okay, I understand, she is just a by-product.

But being able to leave the palace is already good enough.

The Queen nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Thank you for your help, Eunuch. Please come here, Hongye..."

Hongye took out a purse from her sleeve and put it in Sedeford's hand: "Keep it for tea, father-in-law."

"Haha, thank you very much, Madam. I will go back first."

After the people left, the Queen looked over and said, "Li'er, your father said you are good at fighting. What does that mean? Did you really earn the position of captain through military merit?"

Jiang Li felt a little guilty. A man who had lost his memory and couldn't even write had such high martial arts skills. It was a bit problematic to think about it. He thought his identity would be exposed.

He lowered his head and said, "This, I don't remember. After I woke up, I just..."

The Queen took her hand and interrupted her, with a bit of heartache in her eyes: "Even if you don't say it, your mother knows it. It must have been taught by Master Yuanyi. I didn't expect that he thought so highly of you."

"Ok?"

Who is Yuanyi? Why is the original owner’s memory so messed up? He can’t remember the important people, and there are a bunch of unimportant people that he can’t sort out.

Jiang Li lowered her head without saying a word. The queen touched the top of her head and sighed, "When you and Yu'er were born prematurely, your mother was worried that you wouldn't survive, so she sent you to the temple to learn something from Master Yuanyi."

"I brought you back when you were about ten years old. Your health improved a lot after you came back. I thought you were just going to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures, but I didn't expect that the master also taught you martial arts."

"That's good. Knowing martial arts will make you healthier, and mother will be relieved. It's just that the palace rules... this one is a little off. After all, you didn't grow up in the palace. It's not your fault."

The Queen changed the subject: "You can turn a blind eye to the palace rules, but you have to write nicely, otherwise it won't be good enough, what do you think?"

Seeing that she was round, Jiang Li touched his nose and climbed up the pole: "Okay, mother, don't worry, I will practice calligraphy well."

"Well, let's go in and continue talking about choosing a prince consort."

"...!!"

This matter can't be overcome, right?

Jiang Li managed to fool the fool with great difficulty and returned to his bedroom. He fell on the bed, his eyelids twitched and he reached out to touch his right eye and raised his eyebrows. Could something have happened?

Bi Yue came in and whispered, "Princess, can we eat now? Or should we use... a basin?"

Seeing that his eyelids had stopped twitching, he didn't take it seriously.

"Well, let's use a basin. The plate is too small for eating."

"This slave knows."

Three days passed in a flash, and soon it was time to leave the palace.

Jiang Li accompanied the queen, sitting in a carriage. She opened the window and looked out. The team was very long and huge, and she didn't know how far they would go. She felt itchy and wanted to go hunting.

The queen raised her hand, pulled down the curtain, and said unhappily: "I know you are happy to go out, but you are a princess after all. You should pay attention to your royal manners when you are outside. You can't be like this."

"…Mother, where are we going? How long will it take to get there? Riding in a carriage is uncomfortable and my butt hurts."

As soon as these words were spoken, Hongye, the maid serving the queen, tried to hold back her laughter, her hands shaking.

The queen glared at him and said unhappily, "Don't talk like that. If someone hears you, I don't know how they will laugh at you. You heard me, right?"

Jiang Li said casually: "Okay, mother, my hip hurts, this is much more elegant."

Hearing this, the queen couldn't help laughing. When she had laughed enough, she snorted, "If you talk like this outside, be careful of getting a beating. Don't think your mother is soft-hearted. You are just like this."

"If you are so bored, why not take a look at the portraits of these young masters? If you like any of them, I will ask His Majesty to grant you a marriage."

Jiang Li had no choice but to take the portraits and look at them one by one: "It's not easy to choose a queen mother. They all look good, but we can't keep them all. It's too difficult to choose one. It's better not to choose."

Seeing her like this, the Queen glanced at Hongye and said, "Go, take away all the food from the Princess. I see she is still eating and eating, and doesn't know how to do her work at all."

"How can a girl talk like this? If someone hears it, I don't know what rumors they will make behind your back."

Seeing that the things were about to be taken away, Jiang Li felt heartbroken, rushed over, and looked at her with tears in his eyes: "Mother, I was wrong, please give me another chance, this time I will watch carefully."

Hongye also advised: "Madam, the eldest princess has lost her memory, so her temper is naturally like a child. Why bother to be serious with her? Just take it slow."

"Yes, sister Hongye is beautiful and kind."

The Queen rolled her eyes at her and said, "Keep watching. When we get to the hunting grounds, I want to see you choose at least three. No fooling around."

Jiang Li lowered his head and carefully selected them. After a while, he selected three portraits and handed them over. "Mother, these are the three I have seen. They were the study companions of my prince brother."

"The other one is a major general. Well, the Mohist tradition is good. Mohist descendants are not allowed to take concubines for life. They can only marry one wife, so there will be less worry in the mansion in the future."

"Oh, so Li'er likes Mo Yuan more. Why not Mo Lin? He is the second oldest in the Mo family and should be more stable."

Jiang Li thought of the big fool and shook his head: "Mother, you have to believe that being steady has nothing to do with age. Some people only grow older but not smarter."

The queen's eyebrows jumped: "Speak nicely."

"Oh, what I mean is that the second son of the Mo family, Mo Lin, is not suitable. He is not as good as Mo Yuan. The other two are also OK. They have a good relationship with the crown prince, but this one is called Pan Yuan."

"You don't look well. You may have anemia."

"...??"
