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

After Ning Anhou and his wife returned, they immediately went to look for Ning Xiaoxiao.

There was a knock on the door. Ning Xiaoxiao opened the door and saw the people standing outside. She shouted, "Grandfather, grandmother, why are you here? Where did you go today? Xiaoxiao didn't see you."

"Oh, nothing, we went to see an old friend."

Lin Xue looked inside and saw a box on the table. She walked in and pointed at it: "Xiaoxiao, what is this? Who should I give it to?"

Ning Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at the table, looking a little flustered, and hurriedly carried the box to the bed, waving her hands: "No, nothing, I was just tidying it up, it's really nothing."

"Oh, then tell us, did you encounter any interesting things at the flower viewing banquet? You used to like chatting with your grandmother the most, but now that you are older, why don't you like to talk about it anymore?"

She twisted the handkerchief, her cheeks slightly reddened: "Actually, it's nothing, just a trivial matter. Someone fell into the water, and I didn't know who it was, so I jumped in to save him."

"My clothes got wet, and a kind older brother put his clothes on me and used his inner strength to dry them. He is a very good person."

Lin Xue glanced at the people beside her and said with a smile, "Old man, it seems that our Xiaoxiao has made some moves. This is a good thing. Whose son is he? Tell me so that grandma can go and find out."

Ning Xiaoxiao shook her head: "No, no need. It's not what you think, grandma. I just think that big brother is good at fighting, and I admire him. I wish I could be that good."

"No matter where I go from now on, you won't have to worry about me anymore."

"Is that so? Then I won't ask you any more questions. I'll tell you when you're willing to. There's one more thing. If you have time tomorrow, why don't you go out and have some fun? It's so boring to stay at home all the time."

Lin Xue held her hand and said gently, "Grandma went to see her good sister today. It's just right. Let her grandson take you around. Don't think too much. I'm just worried about you going out alone."

Ning Xiaoxiao heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. She was really afraid that her grandmother would find a man for her. She was still young and didn't want to get engaged or married for the time being. There was no point in getting married.

Tomorrow, I can go out and have a look. I have already come to Beijing, and it would be a pity if I don’t go out and have a look. Once I go home, I don’t know when I can go out again.

"Okay, Grandma, I'll go."

"Be good, just listen to your brother, okay?"

"Yes, Xiaoxiao is the most obedient one."

Lin Xue raised her hand and pinched her nose, saying unhappily, "You, how could grandma not know? You are so naughty. This is the capital city. It's prosperous and fun, but it's also full of dangers. Don't run around and be good."

After everyone left, Ning Xiaoxiao handed the box to someone and asked him to deliver it directly to Mo Lin at the Mo family.

Early next morning

Mo Lin arrived at Ning'an Marquis' Mansion early, with a wooden face. His hands unconsciously clenched and unclenched, and he was obviously a little nervous. His mother asked him to take Xiaoxiao out to play, and he was a little worried. Where should he take her to play?

Gambling house...definitely not possible, it would scare people.

Just as he was thinking, a emerald green figure came jumping in. The two of them were stunned when they looked at each other. Ning Xiaoxiao was a little dumbfounded.

"Big brother, it's you that grandma was talking about. What a coincidence."

Mo Lin's eyelashes trembled, his palms were sweaty, and he stood up: "Xiaoxiao, my mother said that you just came to the capital and are not familiar with many places. Let me take you around."

"I know the capital city very well. I'll take you to whatever you want to do."

Ning Xiaoxiao thought about it, her eyes lit up: "Big brother, I want to go out of town to ride horses, and fish and grill them, is that ok?"

"Ah? Why don't you go to the rouge and powder shop?"

"Why should I go and see it? I seldom use rouge or powder."

Mo Lin's brain stopped working and his eyes were a little confused. In his impression, little girls all liked jewelry and rouge and powder. Why was Xiaoxiao different? That's right, Xiaoxiao might not like practicing martial arts.

"...Okay, I'll take you to pick a horse, and we'll leave the city later."

Ning Xiaoxiao's face was full of excitement: "Okay, thank you big brother."

Seeing her smile happily, Mo Lin's lips curled up slightly.

The two of them went to pick horses excitedly, and after leading them out of the city, they climbed on the horses and galloped away. The breeze blowing on their faces was so comfortable that Ning Xiaoxiao couldn't help but giggle.

"Wow, riding a horse is still the most comfortable. Big brother, can you take me to your martial arts training ground someday, practice with me, and teach me a few moves?"

Mo Lin was a little conflicted. His mother told him to be gentle with little girls. Most people in the martial arts training ground were topless. If a little girl went there, what if she got scared?

Oh, it's so frustrating. If he gets scared, his mother will definitely beat him. Even though I'm thick-skinned and not afraid of pain, I don't want to be whipped for nothing.

Ning Xiaoxiao saw that he didn't say anything, she lowered her head in disappointment, and when she looked up again, she smiled and said, "Brother, don't make it difficult for me, I won't go. The martial arts training ground is definitely not open to everyone. I said something wrong, don't be angry."

"No, that's not it. You can go, but I'm afraid to scare you. There will inevitably be injuries in the martial arts training ground. It's just that the smell of blood is strong, and I'm afraid you can't stand it..."

Looking at the little girl, her eyes becoming brighter and brighter, I couldn't say the rest of the words. Well, Xiaoxiao didn't seem afraid at all and seemed very excited.

What a special little girl.

Mo Lin smiled cheerfully: "Xiaoxiao, if you are not afraid, then we will make an appointment to go next time, but you have to change into men's clothes. If you are seen in women's clothes, there will be unfavorable rumors, which will be bad for your reputation."

Ning Xiaoxiao looked at the sincerity in his eyes, her heart warmed, and she smiled sweetly: "Big brother, you are such a nice person."

"Ahem, Xiaoxiao is also very good."

"Hehe, big brother, you are blushing, you look so cute."

...Well, it seems that men should not be praised for being cute. Oh, never mind, as long as she likes it. She is a little girl, so it’s okay to praise her however she likes. He understands the principle that children’s words should not be restrained.

The two of them had a great time for the whole day. Mo Lin sent the man back home and then rode away on his horse.

Ning Xiaoxiao was humming a song and skipping to go to the backyard when she saw her grandmother coming out from somewhere and looking at her with a smile on her face: "Xiaoxiao, did you have fun today?"

"Yeah, I'm very happy. Big brother is very good. He can fish and cook. His food is much better than Xiaoxiao's."

Lin Xue felt more and more satisfied. She thought of the tall figure she had just seen, and then looked at her granddaughter who was somewhat short. It was nothing, the height difference between the two was just that.

I didn't expect Mo Lin to be so tall. Xiao Xiao was like a child in front of him. If they get married in the future, it would really be like a father taking his daughter...

He coughed lightly and said, "You must be tired. Come over and have dinner, then go back and rest early."

Ning Xiaoxiao nodded obediently: "Okay, grandma, let's go to dinner, and I'll tell you about what happened outside today. There were a lot of fun things."

"You little rascal, grandma is waiting."
