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

After Jiang Li accompanied the Queen to dinner, she was about to leave when she ran into Eunuch Defu. When he saw her, his eyes lit up and he shouted, "Princess, wait for me, old servant."

"Ok?"

After bowing, Deshan smiled and said, "Princess, please accept the order. The envoys from the two countries will leave tomorrow. His Majesty wants you to see them off and take back the silver to replenish the national treasury."

"Wait, tell me again, why should my money be used to fill the national treasury? Father, do you have any shame? I am so poor, and he still comes to ask for my money. Ahhhh, I can't tolerate this."

"Princess, please wait a minute and let me have a few words."

Jiang Li clenched his fists in annoyance: "Well, go ahead."

De Fu opened the imperial edict and pointed, "Princess, look, His Majesty's edict says that all the money for the destruction of the royal forest and the money for the envoys' food and drink during this period will belong to you."

"The Ministry of Revenue is keeping an eye on that forest. Your Majesty can do nothing about it. The things that are displayed in the open are not yours. However, the money for the envoys' food and drink is kept in secret, so naturally it belongs to the princess."

"As for the eagle, it costs a lot to feed it, and your majesty is helping the princess to raise it, and he doesn't want the princess's money."

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Eunuch, if you say so, then I will feel much better. It's fine. I am not a stingy person. I will give the compensation for the destruction of the forest to my father."

"But we have agreed that the money can be used to finance the national treasury, but it can only be used for cutting-edge purposes. If father is refining the elixir, you are not allowed to touch the money, otherwise don't blame me for turning hostile."

De Fu nodded repeatedly: "This is natural, Princess, don't worry, His Majesty is no longer so obsessed with alchemy, and the money will naturally be spent on the right things."

Alas, with a princess who is so troublesome, His Majesty has to worry about whether she has gone out to cause trouble every day. He has forgotten about refining the elixir so long ago.

After the two of them agreed, Jiang Li changed into men's clothes, took the prepared sugar, and went to find Si Ling and Su Xuemei. The two were about to leave, so she had to build up some good relationships with them so that they could meet at the end of the year.

No, she was going to promote the sugarcane, let them take it back and build up its reputation. When she attends the Venerable Conference at the end of the year, she can take the opportunity to promote it. She understands the principle of celebrity effect.

Otherwise, why do modern advertisers look for celebrities? Isn't it because celebrities are famous? In this era, there is nothing more famous than the Venerable. Using them for publicity will definitely be effective.

A steady stream of money would naturally flow into her pocket.

Silver = food = life

Xue Ling and her friend were admiring the flowers in the Imperial Garden. When they saw the familiar figure approaching from afar, their expressions became indescribable.

Su Xuemei covered her eyes and muttered softly, "No wonder I felt my eyelids twitching today. It turns out that the evil spirit has come. Oh, leave early tomorrow morning. I don't want to see her again."

"Well, His Majesty has already informed me that I will leave at dawn tomorrow. I should be able to watch a good show at the end-of-year Venerable Conference. It's really exciting."

"I wonder who will fall into the hands of this little lunatic when those people with eyes on the top of their heads meet. As long as they are not the ones being abused, it is still very pleasant." Xue Ling said faintly.

Su Xuemei rolled her eyes. Those idiots praised this man as an immortal. Their hearts were so black that they were about to smoke. Back then... forget it. The past was too painful to recall and not mention.

This black-hearted man finally fell into trouble because of this little girl. It was such a relief.

Jiang Li saw them from afar, ran over quickly, looked at them with shining eyes: "I heard that you were leaving, so I came to see you and give you some specialties to take back. If you like it, I can buy more at the end of the year."

Xue Ling raised her eyebrows and glanced at the basket she was carrying: "What are you carrying, local specialties?"

"Yes, I knew you were leaving, so I went out of the palace to buy this. This is a new product that you can't buy outside. You are the first group of people to try it. Follow me and you will know it is a good thing after you try it."

The two looked at the little girl walking in front of them, exchanged glances, and lowered their voices: "Is that thing edible? It's not sold outside. They didn't poison us, did they? Is Qiguo crazy?"

Xue Ling rolled her eyes at her and said, "You are full of poison. Even if the specialty is poisonous, it can't kill you."

Su Meiniang chuckled: "What you said makes sense, then let's go and see what good thing it is that can make this evil spirit so excited."

The three of them came to the pavilion and sat down. Jiang Li opened the backpack, took out an oil paper bag and opened it. Inside were small brown cubes, which were the boiled cane sugar. They looked at him with confusion.

I poured them tea and put a piece of it in each person's cup. I watched the clear water turn brown-red and a faint sweet fragrance waft out, mixed with an unknown fragrance, which was very special.

Su Xuemei looked at it eagerly and asked in confusion: "What is this? Is it for making tea? I have never seen it before. It smells very special. It tastes sweet, but it is not too sweet. This saint hates greasy sweetness the most."

Jiang Li pushed it over and explained softly: "It's not too sweet. You will know after you try it. It is very good for women and has a nourishing effect."

"I heard that your sister's technique is to absorb yang and replenish yin. I think you may have kidney deficiency. Drinking more sucrose is very good for your body. Do you feel weak after that incident?"

"This is because it lacks nourishment."

Su Xuemei looked at her petrified, wondering what this little evil spirit was saying.

Ahhhh! !

Does she want to die? Who told her this? Is this something that can be brought up on the table? She wants to kill her.

Jiang Li saw that her eyes were full of resentment and innocent confusion: "Sister, do you have conjunctivitis? Look at the bloodshot. Otherwise, let the imperial physician take a look. Eye disease is a serious matter and cannot be ignored."

Su Xuemei's charming face sank, and she was a little crazy: "Shut up, don't talk, this saint's eyes are fine, go make your tea."

"Oh, okay, but sister, you are repeating yourself. You should shut up and stop talking. It's the same thing. You only need to say it once. Why do you have to say it twice?"

...She wants to die, and no one should stop her. She will never come to this damn Qi country again. No one here has a sane mind.

Jiang Li put the cup directly to her lips, took a sip, and looked expectant: "Sister, drink it, how do you feel? Is it delicious?"

Su Xuemei smacked her lips, the fragrance with a hint of sweetness rolled around the tip of her tongue, her mouth was filled with the taste, which was somewhat... fascinating, and different from the bitterness of the tea she had drunk before.

"Well, this tastes pretty good. It's called sucrose, right? That means it's still sugar. Why is it different from what I saw?"
