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

Jiang Li walked around for a while but still couldn't find Mo Yuan. He grabbed a few eunuchs to ask, but couldn't get any information out of them. He frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

The flower-viewing party is in the palace. If Mo Yuan knew about it, there is no way he wouldn't come. What about that guy? Could something have happened to him? Or was it that no one asked him to come? No, Eunuch Defu said he would come.

I scratched my head, not knowing what went wrong.

The palace was too big, and it was difficult for her to look for the person alone. She might as well leave it to others. She captured a few eunuchs, asked them to go look for the person, and then turned back.

"Biyue, let's go to the pavilion and wait. Mo Yuan might be late. This palace is so big. He has been fighting outside before. He might not be familiar with it, so he doesn't know the way."

"I have asked someone to look for it, and it should be found soon."

Bi Yue nodded, remembering the strange things those gentlemen had said before, and whispered them into her ear.

"Princess, what do you think they mean by this? His Majesty is holding a flower viewing banquet to let the noble ladies and unmarried men in the capital get to know each other so that they can get married in the future."

"Why, you keep mentioning the princess? You and the young general are in a marriage arranged by an imperial decree. They are already engaged, but they are still acting like this. Isn't this extremely disrespectful? If they dare to do this, could it be that Your Majesty..."

Jiang Li narrowed his eyes, his mind turned a few circles, and his eyes sank: "Haha, apart from that bastard who likes and goes back on his words, there will be no one else. It's better not to be him, otherwise I won't be able to kill him next time."

Bi Yue's expression changed and she looked around: "Shh, Princess, we don't have evidence, so we can't say that about His Majesty. If someone hears us, we will definitely be punished."

"No matter what, these young masters here are not good people. They are dressed very flashy and it's uncomfortable to look at them. Since they are here, I will naturally teach them what is the moral principle of a human being."

"Come here and listen to me. If you do this again, you will get it."

"Ah? Isn't this too..."

Jiang Li shook his head: "It's not too much. Since they can go along with our father, they deserve to be punished. After this punishment, let them remember it and avoid being ignorant in the future."

Bi Yue's lips curled up, her eyes full of smiles: "Okay, I'll go get the things right away, and I guarantee that the princess will have a great time."

"Well, let's go."

Not long after, Bi Yue came back with something, and the two of them walked towards the pavilion.

Men and women sat separately. When everyone saw her coming, they stood up and saluted. Only Jiang Xinrou said sarcastically: "Oh, the eldest princess is here. Why is she here so late? Did she go to see Mo Yuan secretly?"

Jiang Li admitted generously: "Yes, I have a fiancé. If not him, who else can I look at? Unlike my second sister, who is not much different in age from me, she doesn't even have a fiancé at such an age."

"Second sister, you are such a bad person. How annoying must you be that no man is willing to propose to you."

Everyone: …they’re fighting now, it’s going to be exciting to watch!!

Jiang Xinrou opened her mouth to curse, but the nanny beside her pulled her sleeve and whispered, "Second Princess, don't forget His Majesty's instructions. Don't anger the eldest princess. If she goes crazy, no one can stop her."

"Royal etiquette, don't let people laugh at you."

Okay, very good, she would endure it this time. She glared at her fiercely, wishing she could bite off bites of her flesh. This bitch just came here to show off. It was so infuriating.

Jiang Li glanced at the row of men sitting on his left, then looked at the women sitting on his right, then he stood up and stood in the middle, placing the dice cup on the table, which made a crisp sound.

Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look over and saw the black thing with confusion in their eyes, not knowing what it was.

One person said, "Princess, what is this?"

"Oh, this is called dice, it's fun, you haven't played it before, right? You are so ignorant."

Jiang Li glanced at them and pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's boring to just enjoy the flowers. Why don't we do something fun? Let's play this. It's very simple. It's just guessing the size."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They came to the palace to enjoy the flowers, and it would be very rude to gamble in public. If His Majesty knew about it, he didn't know if he would blame them.

Zuo An pursed his lips and smiled, waving a fan in his hand, looking like a romantic young man.

"Princess, this is in the palace. It's inappropriate to do this."

Jiang Li nodded: "Well, you are right. If you don't want to play, then don't stay here. Aren't you here to enjoy the flowers? Go enjoy the flowers. Come, take Master Zuo to the peach forest. Don't bring him out until dark."

Upon hearing this, the eunuch stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and was about to take the people away.

Zuo An's face turned blue and red. This was really too much. They came to appreciate the flowers, and when they were tired they wanted to eat, drink and rest in the pavilion. Who would want to appreciate the flowers on an empty stomach?

She is worthy of being the eldest princess. She is so scheming. She just forces them to gamble. If they win, they will offend the princess, and if they lose, they will lose face. In short, there is no benefit at all, and all the disadvantages are theirs.

It really doesn't go according to common sense at all, and it makes people not know how to deal with it.

He glanced at the others, sighed inwardly, and said seriously, "That's not what I meant. Since the princess wants to play, we should accompany her."

Humph, if you want to gamble, you have to gamble. Let’s jump in together. No one can escape.

Jiang Li's expression softened when he heard this: "Well, I knew that Master Zuo is not such a spoiler. Come on, I will be the banker, and we will start playing."

"You don't need to play too big at the beginning, just ten taels each time. Do you have any opinions? If you think it's too little, we can do a hundred taels each time. I don't have anything else, but I have more silver."

"As long as you can beat me as the banker, this money will be yours. You are allowed to take it out of the palace. I will never regret it."

Everyone watched her take out a stack of silver bills from her pocket, and roughly estimated that there were more than ten thousand taels. Their eyes widened. Although they were the eldest daughters of the family, their monthly salary was limited, and they had indeed never seen so much.

Seeing this, Jiang Li twitched his lips and said, "It's getting late, don't delay lunch, let's get started, Bi Yue go get some tea..."

"I am the banker. If anyone loses and has no money, they can borrow from me. All they need to do is to provide collateral, such as clothes or something like that."

The sound made by the sieve hitting the Gu was very crisp and pleasant. It was quickly placed on the table. Jiang Li asked softly, "Come on, gentlemen, guess the size. Ladies, if you want to play, you can also come and play."

"Guess...big."

Jiang Li moved his fingertips slightly on the table, then took away the Gu and said loudly: "Big brother, congratulations to the gentlemen, give them the banknotes."

"Slave, go now."

The eyes of the young men who received the silver widened unconsciously, and their hearts were excited. The princess's money was ten thousand taels. If they could really win it, it would take them a long time to spend.
