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

Before Jiang Xiao could react, Emperor Ming's imperial edict had arrived.

After receiving the imperial edict, he lowered his head and was still a little dazed, muttering: "Father, you hate seeing me so much that you have to transfer me to such a far place. I am not allowed to enter the capital without an imperial edict, haha."

Deok-sun looked at the man who was laughing crazily indifferently and remained silent.

His identity meant that he was destined to have no chance of becoming emperor, and he was lucky to be able to keep his life. If it were not for Prince Yun's request before his death, if he had stayed in the harem, he would have angered His Majesty sooner or later, and his death would have been only a day sooner or later.

Now that we have left the capital, His Majesty will not see them and naturally will not think of those things. The Third Prince’s life can be saved.

Before leaving, Jiang Xiao came to the Prime Minister's Mansion and knelt on the ground: "Grandfather, I'm leaving. I don't know when I will come back in the future. Maybe we will never see each other again in this life."

"My father is now treacherous. If I leave, I can survive, but my grandfather is always under his nose. I'm afraid I will have to bear some resentment."

The prime minister walked over, helped the man up, and patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, you don't have to worry about me. I have been an official for so many years, and I already know your majesty's thoughts. There is no problem in saving your life."

He sighed, "I originally thought that since you could be on good terms with the Crown Prince, you would have a chance to make a name for yourself after His Majesty abdicates. But now it seems that His Majesty has no mercy at all."

"It would be bad for you to continue staying in the capital. Leaving might be a better choice. Be careful on the way and bring more people with you to avoid any problems."

Yang Lin came out and said, "Third Prince, the master is worried that you might encounter an accident on the way, so he ordered me to escort you all the way to the destination. It will be safer if the death squad of the mansion follows you."

Jiang Xiao was moved when he heard this. His eyes were moist. He raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes and choked up: "Grandfather, I'm leaving. You must take care of yourself. Now you are my only relative."

Rou'er is my half-sister. We are not close and cannot be relied upon. If something happens to her mother, what else can she do if she doesn't show up? In the future, she will just be a pawn in the hands of her father.

"Well, go early, do your best when you get there, and don't harbor hatred. You are no match for them. If you have any plans, hide them well and wait for the opportunity to reveal them."

"Xiao'er understands what grandpa means. Don't worry, I will keep your teachings in mind and will never be as reckless as before. Now I have no one to rely on."

The Prime Minister sighed and waved his hand: "Go quickly. If you delay for too long, His Majesty will be unhappy. Grandfather will be waiting for you here. One day you will come back."

The group marched out of the city and headed towards the desert.

That was the fiefdom granted to him by Emperor Ming, and it was also the most chaotic and poorest place in Qi State. It was obvious that they didn't want him to live. The more they didn't want him to live, the more Jiang Xiao would not live up to their expectations.

Chaos also means opportunity. One day, he will come back with dignity.

Estate Planting Area

Jiang Li was holding a dogtail grass in his mouth and walking as if he didn't recognize anyone as his own as he inspected his own plantation. He opened his mouth to smile but his muscles couldn't move, and in the end he looked like he was smiling but not smiling, which was very strange.

Sister Qiu ran over and bowed, "Princess, the queen is urging us to go back, we can't persuade her anymore, why don't you go over and take a look."

"Well, no need to persuade us. We should go back now. The garbage in the palace has been cleaned up. It is safe to go back now. There is no need to stay outside the palace any longer."

"Mother liked this place very much before, why are you in such a hurry to go back?"

Sister Qiu said softly, "Perhaps she was worried about His Majesty in the palace and wanted to go back earlier. She was also afraid that His Majesty would blame her, blaming her for...deceiving the emperor. After all, the one in the palace was fake."

"There is also the secret passage. If His Majesty knew about it, would our plantation and sugar factory belong to the court? The annual profit is quite a lot."

Jiang Li waved his hands: "No, my father doesn't have the guts. If he dares to do that, he won't even have the treasury. Humph, let's see who's more ruthless."

"This is my little treasury, the source of my happiness. How can I hand it over? If I hand it over, I will be unhappy. If I am unhappy, I will think of causing trouble."

Sister Qiu suppressed her laughter and said, "Yes, then I can rest assured."

"Okay, Sister Qiu, I'm leaving now. Please keep an eye on this place. If you have any questions, just go to Mo Yuan. He will tell me. We have a secret way to communicate, which is more convenient."

"Puchi, okay, the princess will get married next year, we can go then, but our status is a bit..."

Jiang Li took her hand and said solemnly: "Of course you can. I welcome more people to come. What's the problem with your identities? You are all good girls and independent female heads of households."

"Live with dignity, there is no shame in that. No one can hurt you. If anyone causes trouble, I will solve it. There is nothing that cannot be solved by fists. If there is any, just come a few more times."

Sister Qiu had a gentle smile on her pretty face.

Jiang Li flew into the yard, pushed open the door, squatted beside the bed, looked at the little one who was concentrating on feeding, and said softly: "Mother, you are not well yet, why are you in such a hurry to go back?"

"Alas, the imperial concubine in the harem is gone. If I don't go back, who will do those trivial things? It will cause chaos."

"It's okay. The Concubine Chen is here to take care of you. She's doing a good job. Mother, you should put down some of your burdens and enjoy your life. Otherwise, you'll live a miserable life."

The Queen said angrily: "How can this be possible? As the Queen, you are the mother of the world. How can you enjoy yourself? Everyone has their own responsibilities."

"Besides, there are few simple women in the harem. If you are not under the control of your mother, who knows if someone will attack you in daily life? Your mother cannot bear the consequences."

Jiang Li lay on the bed, resting his head on it: "Okay, then let's go back and give my father a surprise, and bring our big son back with us. My father is still strong and healthy. He is so old and still has a son."

"It's a miracle. Mother, you are so capable."

The queen looked shy and a little uncomfortable: "Girl, I told you to read more books, but you are too blunt in your words. If you attend the Venerable Assembly like this, you will offend people without even realizing it."

"Also, your brother Shaoyun has a name, but you call him Haodaer. That sounds ugly. Don't call him by random names."

Jiang Li tilted her head and said, "Okay, Shaoyun, you're so big now. When you're one month old, I'll go get my face treated. When you're sensible, I'll take you out for a walk and make sure you laugh every day."

"Ouch, mother, why did you hit me on the head? I won't grow taller."

"You're about to get married, so it doesn't matter if you're not tall. The Mo family won't mind anyway, and they can't beat you, right?"
