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

Emperor Ming couldn't eat anymore. He felt guilty and looked over eagerly: "Li... Li'er, this sheep has a bell. It's about this big, golden and very pretty."

Jiang Li thought about it carefully and shook her head. She caught it in the woods. She originally wanted to catch a deer, but this sheep appeared. She stepped on the sheep's dung and caught it in a fit of anger.

No matter how clean the sheep's fur is, it is uncivilized to leave sheep droppings everywhere. It would be strange if the sheep is not eaten. She is just helping to solve the problem from the root so that no one would step on sheep droppings in the future.

"No, when I saw it, it was completely naked, with nothing but fur on it."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Ming heaved a sigh of relief. That shouldn't be the one raised by his mother. Although Li'er is noisy and loves to eat, she never lies. If she says there is no one, then there must be no one.

I felt relieved and my appetite returned instantly, so I started eating.

Jiang Li came out with a bamboo cup and handed it over: "Father, this is the sparkling water I made. Try it and see how it tastes. It can help you get rid of the greasiness. It's delicious."

"Okay, let me try it. You have quite a lot of delicious food here."

"That's right. The only way to relieve worries is to eat delicious food. How about that? Look at the resentful look on father's face before. It's gone now. There is nothing that delicious food can't solve. If there is, just have two meals."

Emperor Ming laughed when he heard this, and the feeling of being choked up in his heart dissipated a lot. This girl, when she is not annoying, is still quite cute.

He looked at her chubby little face, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Li'er, have you gained weight recently? I see that there is more and more fat on your face. Don't be too fat, or you won't look good in clothes."

Jiang Li touched his face, then his stomach, and let out a breath: "It's okay, I just gained some fat on my face, not on my stomach. Father, you have to believe in your genes, I won't get fat."

How can one get fat if the food is converted into energy? As for the fat on the face, that is purely because the original owner had a chubby face, and it was not noticeable because he was too thin before.

Now everything has returned to normal and it is normal that there seems to be more flesh on the face.

Emperor Ming and his guards ate so much that they were too full. It was because of that sparkling water. It tasted so good when they drank it, but why did they feel so bloated? The same thing happened to that girl. No matter how good the water tasted, they couldn't keep drinking it.

Hiccup~~Hiccup~~~

After the two left, Xiuhua stretched her neck and said curiously, "Princess, why do you keep pouring them sparkling water? There's only half a bucket, why do they drink so much and still haven't finished it?"

"Hey, guess why."

"I can't guess."

Bi Yue rolled her eyes at her and said unhappily, "Stupid, why else? The princess must have seen that it wasn't enough to drink, so she added a lot of water. In other words, your majesty and the guards he brought drank a lot of water."

"Ah? Is that so?"

Jiang Li said mysteriously, "Yes, but no. It's only half right. The fundamental reason is mutton. Just think about it, there is only one sheep. If they eat it freely, what will we eat?"

"Sparkling water is different. Drinking it will easily make your stomach bloated, which means you will feel full. If you are full, you will naturally not eat anymore. The remaining skewers are naturally ours."

Looking at the silly Xiuhua, he bared his teeth and said, "Come, I'll give you a few more skewers. We'll roast them slowly and eat them slowly."

Emperor Ming returned to his bedroom and was about to take a bath. He was indeed stained with the smell of mutton. It was not obvious when he ate it before, but now when he smelled it carefully, the smell was still a bit strong.

Before she could take it off, the eunuch's voice came from outside: "The Queen Mother is here."

Ok?

What was the Queen Mother doing here so late at night? Was she going to the temple? Or maybe she just didn't want to stay in the harem because there were so many trivial matters and it wasn't as quiet as the temple.

He straightened his clothes and went to meet him.

As soon as she got closer, the empress dowager sensitively noticed that there was a strange smell on his body, some peculiar fragrance, and some smell of mutton. What was that smell?

Emperor Ming said softly, "Mother, what do you want to see me for?"

When the Queen Mother heard his question, she looked anxious: "Ming'er, please ask the guards to help me look for Xiaobai. Xiaobai is lost. I just took him out for a walk, but who knew he ran away on his own."

"Well, who is Xiaobai?"

"Oh, Xiaobai is that sheep. It's the sheep you sent to me a few years ago. Now it's grown up and weighs several dozen kilograms. It's different from when it was little."

Emperor Ming's eyes flickered. "Mother, that little white cat still has the golden bell I hung on its neck."

The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "No, it was stolen by a brave nun before. I punished her, but I didn't get the bell back. This time I brought Xiaobai back, and I thought it would be safe in the palace, so I didn't tie him up with a rope."

"But Xiaobai is easy to recognize, with clean fur. Besides, you, the emperor, don't eat mutton, but it's taboo in the harem. I don't think anyone would dare to eat Xiaobai."

"Well, then, mother, go back first. I'll have someone look for it. I'm afraid it will run to the back hills and get eaten by wild beasts. That would be terrible."

The Queen Mother glared at him and said unhappily, "This is the Imperial Palace, where would a wild beast come from? Don't talk nonsense tomorrow. You are trying to scare me. Then quickly send someone to look for him. I wonder how Xiaobai is doing."

"It's dark outside. Xiaobai is timid, so he should not get scared."

Emperor Ming broke out in sweat on his forehead. The one he ate today might actually be Xiaobai, the one raised by his queen mother. It was over. If his queen mother knew about this, she would definitely go looking for Li'er.

That girl is a stubborn one. If she starts quarreling, who knows if she will be struck by lightning. The empress dowager is so old and can't stand being frightened. What if something happens to her?

The more anxious I was, the louder my stomach growled. My throat felt like something was blocking it. I opened my mouth and took a breath of cold air, and then burped one after another.

The fishy smell became stronger and stronger. When the Queen Mother smelled it, she subconsciously raised her sleeves and looked at him suspiciously: "Ming'er, what did you eat? Why does it smell so fishy?"

Emperor Ming felt a little guilty and could not help but step back a little, saying in a low voice: "Mother, there is something I want to tell you honestly. Please calm down. I didn't mean it."

The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Tell me what happened. I won't blame you."

"That's right, it was Xiaobai. I suddenly felt very greedy and asked the imperial kitchen to kill it. No, calm down, mother. I didn't mean to do that. I really didn't know it was Xiaobai."

The Queen Mother was completely furious. She looked around and picked up a feather duster and hit Emperor Ming with it, scolding him as she beat him: "Are you crazy? Why are you eating lamb for no reason? You didn't eat mutton before, so who told you to eat it now?"
