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

A figure walked out from the path and went straight towards the pavilion. She stood behind him, staring at the back. Ever since that glance at the city gate two years ago, she had been infatuated with him.

However, he had been fighting before for two years, and this was the first time they met. I had been thinking that maybe I should find a chance to ask Mo Yuan out, but I didn't expect him to come here on his own initiative.

Thinking of this makes people feel shy. This is a place she often comes to. Whenever she is in a bad mood, she will come here to sit.

Mo Yuan heard the movement behind him and said lovingly, "Everyone is here, why don't you come over quickly? Could it be that you are harming..."

She stood up and looked over. When she saw who it was, the smile on her face disappeared instantly. Her expression was cold: "Second Princess, why are you here?"

Jiang Xinrou looked at him aggrievedly: "This is a place that this princess often comes to. Young General, aren't you here to see me? Then why are you here? Who do you want to see?"

"Could it be the Imperial Sister? She won't come here. Don't deny it. I know that the young general will come here to see me. It just so happens that I also want to see you."

"Two years ago, did you look at the city gate?"

Mo Yuan felt uncomfortable watching her shy look, and stepped back unconsciously, frowning and shaking his head: "I don't know, I only went back to the capital once two years ago, and I have never seen the Second Princess, can you explain it more clearly?"

Seeing him retreat, Jiang Xinrou felt a little hurt. She took two steps closer, raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and looked at him with an accusing look: "What do you mean? Am I a scourge or a beast? Why do you want to hurt people like this?"

Is this second princess mentally ill? Why are they so alone together? Is she crazy? She came here to see Xiaoli, not to see her.

"Princess, since this is your place, I will leave now."

As he turned around and was about to leave, Jiang Xinrou behind him shouted, "Wait, I have something to say, and I will leave after I finish speaking, so you don't have to leave, General."

Mo Yuan and Xiao Li agreed to come here. If the second princess hadn't been there, he wouldn't have wanted to change the place. If someone saw them, it would easily lead to misunderstandings, which would be even worse.

Turning around: "Okay, Princess, please go ahead."

Seeing him deliberately avoiding her, Jiang Xinrou felt angry, but she suppressed her anger when she thought of what she had to say. "I wanted to ask you about the marriage, but the eldest sister forced you to do it."

"If so, just tell me. I can ask my father to take back the marriage. All you need to do is ask me."

Mo Yuan's eyes became strange. He was now certain that the Second Princess was mentally ill. No normal person would ask such a question. Marrying Xiao Li was what he had been longing for.

Why is it that when I get here to her, I feel like I am being forced.

With a firm look in his eyes, he said, "It is not forced. I have been longing for a marriage, so how can I force you? Princess, please go back quickly. It is not appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone here. I have finished speaking, please leave."

When Jiang Xinrou heard these words, the strings in her brain were about to break, her eyes were completely red, and her voice was choked with sobs: "If... I say I like General Yu, will you choose me?"

"To tell you the truth, my father is afraid of the Mo family and will not allow my sister to marry you. Rather than having the marriage cancelled, why not choose me? This will avoid embarrassment for you and the Mo family in the future."

Mo Yuan narrowed his eyes upon hearing this: "Princess, what do you mean? Is His Majesty going to do something?"

"...I can't tell you that. Anyway, I am definitely a better choice for you than the eldest princess. Although she is the legitimate daughter, she has no one to rely on, even with the Crown Prince."

"I'm different. My mother is the favorite of my father, my brother is in good health, and my grandfather's family is very powerful. If something happens in the future, the young general will be able to save the Mo family. Isn't he aware of it?"

Jiang Xinrou looked confident, and there was infatuation in her eyes as she looked at him.

After Mo Yuan understood what she meant, he felt nauseous. What she meant was that once His Majesty passed away, they would rebel and seize the throne, and they would also drag the Mo family into it.

"I don't know what the princess means, nor do I want to know. Anyway, the only wife I have in this life is the eldest princess Jiang Li. I hope the second princess will respect herself and be careful of eavesdroppers."

"I have something else to do, so I'll go ahead."

Jiang Xinrou ran out and stood in front of him: "Okay, Mo Yuan, you are great. Since you insist on choosing that bitch, I want to see what kind of ending you will have in the end."

"Humph, you are such an ungrateful person."

After saying that, she turned around and left along the path. Mo Yuan felt helpless when seeing this. What was going on? This was the first time he met the second princess. He had never seen her before. When did this grudge start?

Not only was he confused, but Jiang Li, who was hiding in the dark watching the show, was also confused.

The beauty looked at the princess who was eating melon seeds and said unhappily, "Princess, can you please stop eating melon seeds? If you don't go out, your husband will be snatched away by someone else. You better be more careful."

Jiang Li waved his hand: "It's nothing. Those who can be snatched away are all garbage. Mo Yuan is not that kind of person, so don't worry. People will not be snatched away. I just want to know if you understand what I said."

"What do you mean by father? He won't let me marry Mo Yuan. Could it be that he wants to slap himself in the face and regret it? That would be too shameless."

"...Hush, Princess, be careful with your words, or someone might hear you."

"Oh, it's okay. Even if someone hears me, my father can't do anything to me. I just can't figure it out. Maybe I'll know it later. Let's go out first. Mo Yuan must have been waiting for a long time."

Jiang Li was carrying melon seeds and cracking them as he walked towards the pavilion.

Mo Yuan heard the noise, turned around and saw someone coming. He smiled and walked over: "Here you are, but what did you encounter when you came?"

"No."

Her eyes were a little vague. She couldn't say that she came out to see him just to watch the show. That would be too unfashionable.

"Give me the melon seeds and I'll peel them for you to eat."

Hearing this, Jiang Li happily left and sat on a stone bench, asking casually, "Just now, I seemed to see a female figure running away from here. A Yuan, did you see it?"

Mo Yuan looked at her and said seriously, "Yes, the figure just now was the second princess. She might have some problems with her brain. She said a lot of incomprehensible things. I couldn't quite understand her."

"...Oh, what did you say?"

"Princess wants to hear it?"

"Yeah, I want to hear it."

Mo Yuan peeled melon seeds and slowly told the whole story again, saying solemnly: "What she doesn't know is that this marriage is what I wanted most, I was not forced into it."

Jiang Li looked into his eyes, which were full of affection even for dogs, and felt a little uncomfortable: "Ahem, are you confessing to me?"
