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

The Queen Mother woke from her sleep, turned over and sat up, with fear in her eyes. She looked around the unfamiliar room, threw back the quilt and got out of bed.

Jiang Li pushed the door open with beef jerky in his mouth. The two looked at each other in shock. Oh, he woke up quite early. She came at the right time. What were they supposed to say when the grandparents and grandchildren met?

Oh, say hello, she's a good and polite kid.

She raised her hand and waved it: "Hello, Grandmother, hello, I'm Jiang Li, nice to meet you, here, do you want some beef jerky? Let me tell you, this is very suitable for teeth grinding, try it and it's delicious."

The Queen Mother had a wooden face and was a little confused. What was going on? Who was she? Where was she? Who was this person?

"You, you are Li'er."

Jiang Li blinked and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I am Li'er, your eldest granddaughter. Are you surprised to see me? I miss my grandmother very much."

What she said was so heartfelt. Of course, there is nothing more interesting than a mother exposing her own son.

The Queen Mother was silent for a while before she slowly spoke: "You saved me. This is in your bedroom."

Jiang Li pulled her to sit down, pushed the beef jerky over to her, and said enthusiastically: "Grandmother, how about we eat and talk at the same time? Try the beef jerky made by my Bi Yue. It's delicious. Father hasn't even tasted it, so I'll give it to you, Grandmother."

She pinched the hard jerky and was a little skeptical about whether it was edible. But seeing her granddaughter eating it with relish, she wanted to give it a try, too: "...Good girl, you're thoughtful."

I reached out and took one, put it in my mouth and bit it. With a crunching sound, it almost broke between my teeth. My expression became weird for a moment. What was so hard? Was it something a human could eat?

Why does she want to grind her teeth like a dog so much? Her teeth feel so sour. Is there something wrong with this granddaughter's brain?

The Queen Mother silently placed the dried meat on the table, looked at the people who were eating happily, and asked softly: "Li'er, where did you save me? If I remember correctly, last night should be..."

Jiang Li said in a relaxed tone: "In the lake, Grandmother, the weather is so cold, why are you jumping into the lake for no reason? Be careful not to freeze yourself, it would be so pitiful."

"No, I didn't jump in by myself. Someone must have thrown me in. How did you happen to see it?"

"Oh, this. I usually get hungry easily at night and like to get up and look for food. When I went out for a walk, I saw four figures in the distance, but when they came back, there were only three."

"I was thinking that one was missing, maybe someone accidentally fell in, so I went to check, and there were bubbles coming out. I thought there was a big fish, but when I jumped in, I pulled up a huge queen."

The Queen Mother couldn't help but twitch her face when she heard her exaggerated statement, but then she changed her mind and realized that no matter what the reason was, she was saved at least, if it weren't for this girl.

She was afraid that... she had died at the hands of the Imperial Concubine. She was so bold that she actually dared to kill her. No, she couldn't just let it go like this. She had to go and ask Yun'er if she knew about it.

If they knew, such a conscienceless person would never be able to be the king of a country. Ming'er is a coward, but he is not so cruel as to allow his woman to poison his own mother.

Whenever she thought of Ming'er, her heart felt like it had fallen into an ice hole. She wondered if Yun'er would kill Ming'er.

Jiang Li saw her standing up and reached out to stop her: "Grandmother, where are you going?"

The Queen Mother looked anxious: "I have something important to discuss with the Emperor. Be good, don't make trouble, just get out of the way."

"No, if you go find that fake father, he will kill you. I saw it all. Those three people are from the Imperial Concubine's Palace. They threw you down, right? The fake father must have known about this."

"If he didn't know, the concubine wouldn't be so brave."

Jiang Li tilted his head, his eyes full of innocence.

There are some truths that the Queen Mother naturally needs to know. Without the Queen Mother's cooperation, their plan would be easier to accomplish, wouldn't that be better?

The Queen Mother was surprised and asked, "How did you know? No, when did you know? What about your father? Do you know where he is?"

Shaking his head, he said, "I knew from the first time we met that my father didn't know where the fake father had hidden him, but he shouldn't be dead. Don't worry, Grandmother. What we need to do now is to find my father."

"Take down the fake ones, and deal with the imperial concubine. What do you think, Grandmother? If there was no imperial concubine, the royal family wouldn't be in such a mess."

"...You are right, but let me think about this matter again."

Jiang Li sighed and said helplessly: "Grandmother, Li'er also wants to give you time, but our fake father will not give us time. Who knows when he will frame the Mo family."

"Once the Mo family falls, my mother, my brother the crown prince, me, and the other brothers and sisters will all die, except Jiang Xiao and Jiang Rou."

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and subconsciously tried to turn the Buddhist beads, only to find that her hands were already empty. She was stunned for a moment, and after coming to her senses, her voice was somewhat lonely: "Okay, I know, tell me, what preparations have you made behind the scenes."

"Hehe, Grandmother, you are so smart."

He rolled his eyes at her. She hadn't been back for a long time. He didn't expect that his eldest granddaughter would be like this. She was good at pretending to be crazy and stupid, but it made sense if she didn't do that.

The imperial concubine and Yun'er will not let her live.

The two talked for a long time. After dealing with the Queen Mother, Jiang Li left with satisfaction. Before leaving, he did not forget to take the beef jerky away, his eyes full of sincerity: "Grandmother, this is a bit chewy, I'll change it to something softer for you."

Queen Mother: …She doesn’t really want to see this granddaughter. She is so tired!!

Jiang Li skipped out of the door, holding a piece of beef jerky, chewing a few pieces, his eyes full of happiness. This kind of life is really good, wait until he has dealt with the garbage like the imperial concubine and the prime minister.

She can leave the palace to treat her face. What a wonderful life.

Bi Yue came in with a basket and saw that she was eating non-stop. She said helplessly, "Princess, that jerky is too hard. It's not suitable for you to eat too much. It's easy to have trouble defecating. Eat more soft food."

"...What? Why didn't you tell me earlier? No wonder you've been so exhausted recently. I thought it was constipation, but it turns out it's this. Bi Yue, do less next time so I can eat less and everything will be fine."

"You must have made it too hard. Otherwise, my iron stomach would not be unable to digest it. Can you make some more rice cakes? I really like the rice cakes you make."

Xiuhua glanced at Biyue, who looked helpless, and laughed softly.

"Princess, you've gained weight today. Do you want to control it?"

"No, this is not being fat, this is all blessing, you don't understand."

"...!!"

They all rolled their eyes and said nothing more.
