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

in a few days

Jiang Li brought Qian Ye, disguised themselves and left the palace and came to the general's mansion, ready to bring the emperor of the Beggars' Den back. They could start the next stage of the plan, but it would not work without the protagonist.

Several people came to the dilapidated temple and strode in.

Seeing outsiders coming, Xiao Mu looked at them warily: "Who are you and what are you doing here? We are all beggars here and have no money. Why don't you go somewhere else?"

Jiang Li came closer, bent over, and took out a handful of peanut candy: "Here are some for you. Thank you for taking care of my dad during this time. That man is my dad, my real dad. We are here to take him home."

"...Are you Grandpa's family? Then why didn't you come to see him for so long?"

It’s over. If the old man goes with them, what should I do? I will be alone again and can’t survive the cold winter. Woohoo, I want to cry.

He couldn't bear to leave his grandfather. Why did God treat him like this, taking away all the people around him? But they were his grandfather's family. What right did he have to stop them from going back?

Little Wood tried hard to hold back his sadness, tears welling up in his eyes: "Okay, wait a moment, I'll go call Grandpa over."

Then she trotted over, tugged at his sleeve, and said with a sob, "Grandpa, your family is here to look for you, go back with them, our previous agreement is no longer valid."

Emperor Ming had a bewildered look on his face. He turned his head to look over, but when he saw Mo Yuan and Mo Jue, he stood there in a daze, as if he couldn't react.

He looked down at the tearful little baby and felt a little reluctant. If he went back, what would happen to the little baby? If the beggars were really hungry, they would even eat children.

Didn’t he see it a few days ago? He was so scared that he was always worried since then. He even seemed to not care that much about returning to the palace.

Emperor Ming held out his hand and said, "Little Wood, you want to come back with me? You can eat and drink well when you get back, and you don't have to worry about starving to death every day like you do now."

Little Wood shook his head: "No, that's your home, not mine. If I go there, I'll just cause you trouble. I'd better not. If you miss me in the future, you can come and see me."

"Well, it'd be better to bring some steamed buns. After all, we depend on each other for survival. Just give me something substantial."

"...You little kid, you really have an eye for food."

Emperor Ming reached out and patted the dust off his body. After giving a few instructions, he walked towards them. His eyes wandered and fell on Jiang Li: "Girl, why did your face change again?"

Jiang Li shrugged: "It's not easy to leave the palace. The fake one is always watching us. It's easier to disguise yourself. Old man, just quit while you're ahead and stop wasting time."

"We are in a hurry, and you should hold back your tears. Don't even think about hugging me and telling me how touched we are about meeting each other after such a long separation. Your body is so dirty, and I don't know if you feel itchy or not."

Upon hearing this, the others unconsciously took a step back and distanced themselves from Emperor Ming.

Emperor Ming's face darkened when he saw this, and he complained, "Jiang Li, come here. You are so caring. I really owed you in my previous life for giving birth to someone like you who is so infuriating."

"You can let me go back with you, but you have to take Little Wood with you. Then why don't you watch me? I just think that there are a lot of leftovers in the palace, and it's not like we can't raise a child."

Jiang Li pouted: "Okay, got it, old man, you are just being stubborn, let's go together, I need to heal the wound on your face quickly, otherwise how can I take back everything that belongs to you."

"Oh, by the way, I have good news for you. Your concubine has been slept with by that fake one. From now on, you will have more cuckolds on your head."

"Why are you glaring at me again? I'm telling you I'm wrong."

Emperor Ming pointed at her, his fingers trembling.

Seeing that the father and daughter were arguing again, Mo Jue couldn't help but interrupt: "Your Majesty, the princess is still young and naive, so please don't argue with her. Let me take you back. There are still many things to deal with in the palace."

A group of people came to the general's mansion with a baby.

After washing, Emperor Ming still had some imperial majesty, but the scar on his face had some impact, making people feel uncomfortable.

Jiang Li looked at the man whose face was wrapped up like a mummy and laughed, his eyes full of gloating: "Hehe, look at you, father, you don't know how to judge people. If you were a bit smarter than me, you wouldn't have ruined your face."

Emperor Ming showed his eyes, nose and mouth. He looked at them with fire in his eyes and shouted, "Mo Yuan, can you please take care of it? This girl is going to marry you in the future. You are blind to treat your elders like this."

Mo Yuan lowered his head and said seriously, "Your Majesty, please don't worry about this matter. Grandmother has already told you that the princess is simple and kind. In the future, everyone at home will give in to her."

"Besides, the princess is just a little playful and mischievous. She is not a bad person by nature and would never provoke anyone. If she gets angry, it must be someone else's fault."

"According to the Mo family rules, my wife will not be wrong. If she is wrong, it must be someone else's fault."

Emperor Ming: ...The silence is deafening!!

Waving his hands, his voice full of exhaustion, "Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore. You Mo family members are all weaklings. Go away. Don't make me angry. I still want to live two more years."

Seeing that she wanted to speak, he interrupted her directly: "That's enough, shut up, don't talk, I don't want to know who in the harem is having an affair, all of you get out, and let Xiao Mu come in alone."

"It's so annoying. I'm annoyed just seeing you guys."

Jiang Li pulled Mo Yuan out, took out some peanut candy from his pocket, and handed it to him: "Come and have some candy, don't be angry, my dad is in menopause, there are always a few days every month when his mood is not very stable."

"Just pretend you didn't see it. If you're upset, how about I avenge you? Look at the way his package looks. He looks like a monkey. No, even monkeys are prettier than him."

"Pfft, I'm not angry."

Mo Yuan opened his mouth and bit the candy, his lips brushing against her fingertips.

Jiang Li felt his fingers go numb, so he withdrew his hand, curled up unconsciously, and said cheerfully, "Let's go have dinner with grandma. After dinner, I have to go back to the palace. I can't stay outside for too long."

"Okay, I've prepared some fruit for you, you can collect it and eat it slowly."

"Well, A Yuan, you are still good to me. You are much more reliable than my biological father."

"...Actually, I might be happier if you didn't compare me to your father. Ahem, what I mean is that we will be husband and wife in the future, so naturally, we are not comparable to your Majesty."

Jiang Li nodded: "That makes sense, let's go, I'm hungry."
