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

After waiting for an hour, the sound of breaking water was heard, and a figure landed beside him. A soft voice rang out: "Xiao Li, I'll give you the mermaid pearl. It can indeed prevent water, but it has a time limit."

Jiang Li stood up and took the mermaid pearl. "It's only one hour. It's a treasure that defies nature. It's not a loss. I don't need to go to my father to settle the score."

Mo Yuan couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Yes, this is a treasure, keep it well, maybe you can use it in the future."

"That's right, A Yuan, do you have anything else to do? Are you staying in the palace tonight?"

"...Not in the palace. It's getting late. I'll go back first. Xiaoli, be careful of the Imperial Concubine in the palace. She has always been unscrupulous. Although the Second Princess is vicious, she is stupid on the surface after all, so she is easier to deal with."

Jiang Li nodded obediently: "A Yuan, you said the imperial concubine is so annoying, can I kill her quietly? Otherwise, it will be very annoying. And the prime minister, take him away as well."

"The treacherous ministers are all dead, so naturally no one will dare to cause trouble in the future."

Mo Yuan's mouth twitched and he shook his head: "No, without solid evidence, we can't kill them at will, otherwise His Majesty will definitely not let them off easily. Your Highness is the Crown Prince, if he gets angry and deposes him..."

Jiang Li didn't say the rest. He understood that this was not the end of the world and he couldn't kill people at will. He said with some disappointment, "Well, let them run wild for a while. When we find a chance, we can deal with them."

"Don't worry, they don't dare to provoke me. Just pay more attention to the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince."

"When can the female doctor that A Yuan mentioned last time be brought into the palace?"

Mo Yuan thought for a moment and said softly, "She will not be in the capital within ten days. The journey is a bit far, so it will take some time for her to come."

Jiang Li hummed and stretched out his hand: "The palace gate should be closed. I will take you out of the palace."

She has something to do later and won't be able to sleep tonight. She promised Xue'er that she would give her a surprise tonight. Adults cannot go back on their words.

Cold Palace

A small figure, wearing a palace dress for a birthday banquet, sat on the rockery, looked up at the bright moonlight, pursed her lips and waited eagerly. My sister said she would come, so she would definitely come.

Ying jumped down and said coldly: "Third Princess, if you don't want to practice martial arts today, why don't you go and rest."

Jiang Xueer's silver eyes glowed with coldness: "Master, please don't worry about me and the others. Take that little assassin back with you. I don't need any trash around me. It's a waste of time."

"Haha, the Third Princess is done pretending. A demon is a demon. She acts one way in front of the eldest princess and another way in front of her subordinates."

"presumptuous!!"

Ying Yi looked at the person with murderous eyes and unconsciously clenched his fists. He said lightly: "The third princess is waiting for the eldest princess. If she saw your true appearance, would she be afraid and stay away from you completely?"

He didn't miss the flash of panic in her eyes.

"Kong Qing was placed next to the Third Princess, first to keep an eye on you, and second to protect you. This is all His Majesty's intention. Don't think of killing Kong Qing. Without him, there will be others."

Jiang Xueer gritted her teeth, her eyes full of resentment. Her father had always ignored her, but now he was caring for her for the first time and actually sent people to keep an eye on her. If she behaved abnormally, she would probably be killed directly.

The corner of his eye swept to the corridor, and the little figure paused and turned away: "Okay, I won't kill him. You can stare at him if you want. Master, you can go now. If my sister sees..."

Ying nodded, glanced at the little figure and said, "Kong Qing, take good care of the third princess, and don't forget to return to the Dark Guard Camp once a month."

The small figure hiding in the darkness hummed muffledly.

After he flew away, he came out and said carefully, "Master, it's cold outside, please put on your cloak, don't catch a cold, otherwise the princess will be very worried."

Kong Qing knew that the master cared about the eldest princess the most and would only obey him if he mentioned her.

Jiang Xueer jumped down from the rockery with a quick and neat movement, which made Kong Qing's eyes light up. His dark eyes were full of admiration: "Master, you are really a martial arts genius. In just a few days, you are better than others in one or two years."

She reached out to take the cloak, her eyes flashing with disgust: "Go away, don't come near me, and don't tell me what happened here, or don't blame me for being cruel."

The bright black eyes dimmed in an instant. From the first moment the master saw him, he wanted to kill him. He understood that no one wanted to be monitored, but he really didn't want to hurt the master.

He lowered his head and said in a barely audible voice: "Well, I will go down first, Master, don't catch a cold."

Jiang Xueer's face was full of disgust and she ignored him. She couldn't get rid of him now, but that didn't mean she could never get rid of him. Once she had mastered martial arts, she would get rid of these annoying things.

She only cares about her sister. As long as she has her sister, anyone else who stands in her way should die.

Kong Qing turned back and didn't see the bloodthirstiness in her eyes.

After returning to the woodshed

He curled up his little body in the hay, closed his eyes and tried to sleep, but it was too cold at night and he couldn't fall asleep at all. It was good to be with his master, even though his master didn't like him here.

But he was not criticized too much. At least he had food and drink and did not have to compete with dogs for food. He also had a small woodshed and did not have to sleep outside for fear of freezing to death.

Kong Qing thought about a lot of things in the past and present, and liked his master more and more. He had never been beaten since he came here. The master was just a little harsh in words, but he was really a good person. That's why he would not listen to what Ying Yi said and reported everything to him.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but he still couldn't fall asleep. It was too cold. He sat up, opened the door and walked out. He saw a figure flying quickly across the roof and then falling down.

Jiang Li blinked and asked curiously, "Little Treasure, who are you? Why are you in Xue'er's Palace? Are you sent here to serve? That room is the firewood room. Do you live there?"

Kong Qing met his master's cold eyes and his heart tightened. Oh no, the master said I was not allowed to come out and see the princess. How could this be such a coincidence?

"Slave...Slave is"

Before she could finish, she was picked up by someone and heard a gentle voice in her ear: "Hey, little treasure, why are you so cold? You should wear more clothes. It's easy to catch a cold at night."

Kong Qing felt like someone was hugging him, with a steady stream of heat coming towards him. His frozen body slowly warmed up, and his eyes couldn't help but become warm.

The princess is... so nice.

Jiang Li held one in each hand, flew up, and flew towards the remote palace: "Since we have met, it must be fate. Come on, I will take you to play together, it's fun."

"Xue'er, how come little Zhenbao is in the same yard with you?"

"…Uh, they were sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Oh, I see. That's your friend. You two are about the same age, so you can be considered a companion. You should get along well with each other in the future."
