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

Jiang Li let out a breath, leaned into his arms, and said sullenly: "I am saying hypothetically, if I want to have a baby in the future, but it is a daughter, will you favor boys over girls? After all, in a family of military generals, sons are more important than daughters."

Mo Yuan shook his head and hugged her waist, his eyes filled with sadness: "No, in a military family, sons are sent to the battlefield, and countless of them die on the battlefield. Mother has always wanted a daughter, but unfortunately she never had one."

When he talked about his childhood, the expression on his face relaxed a little.

"Before I was born, my mother had always hoped that I would be a girl, but in the end I wasn't. I heard from my brother that my mother didn't want to hold me at that time. Later, before I could remember anything, she often dressed me up as a girl."

"Ahem, so don't worry about that. The general's mansion prefers daughters. My brother's little girl is more favored than his son."

Jiang Li hugged his waist tightly and whispered: "Then let's have a daughter in the future. The gender of the baby is controlled by the man. You behave well and we will let nature take its course. I still like children very much."

Mo Yuan's ears turned red: "Yes, I will. We can have dinner at home."

"Ah, no, I remembered something. I will go back to the palace soon. My father has not given me a dowry yet. I can't just prepare it for my mother. As a father, I should also show some appreciation."

"...!!"

Jiang Li was an impatient person. Thinking of this, he immediately let go of her hand: "I'll go say hello to my mother and go back to take care of important things right away. He lowered his head and let me kiss him properly."

Mo Yuan looked back, waved his hand to close the door, leaned in and kissed her, and let go after a while, rubbing her lips with his fingertips, his eyes fiery: "We will get married next month, and the wedding dress will be delivered to the palace this month. You can try it on and see which one you like."

My head was a little short of oxygen, I felt dizzy, and my eyes were a little blurry: "Ah, wedding dress, didn't you prepare a set?"

"I have prepared one set, and there are also mother, second sister-in-law, and ancestors. At first, four sets were prepared, but it was unlucky, so two more sets were added. One set is six sets, or eight sets. Anyway, send them to the palace. You can try which one you like."

Jiang Li was silent, his cerebellum was a little shrunken. Which good person would choose eight sets of wedding dresses for her wedding? He had never seen such a thing, and his brain was not enough.

"Um, where are your clothes?"

"It's a matching set. If you choose it, I'll choose mine too."

...Good, very good, truly an example of a henpecked husband.

Jiang Li shook his head and became more clear-headed. He stood on tiptoes, held his face, and kissed him hard, his eyes full of happiness: "A Yuan, it's great to meet you. Your family is so nice."

Mo Yuan smiled and said, "Well, meeting Xiao Li, knowing Xiao Li and falling in love with him is also my greatest happiness."

"Pfft, you've made great progress now. You can say sweet words now. They sound nice. Say more in the future. I like to hear them."

"Okay, I can't stay any longer, or I won't be able to leave. I'm going back to the palace to get my dowry. You wait for me at home and don't go out to fool around, okay?"

"...No, the General's Mansion has family rules. No messing around before or after marriage, and certainly no fooling around."

Jiang Li was satisfied after hearing that, and before leaving, he touched his strong chest muscles, then flew away with a smile, running all the way towards the palace. His anxious back looked like there was a ghost chasing him.

Emperor Ming's Palace

The voice arrived before the figure did.

"Father, are you still alive? I have something to talk to you about!!"

Emperor Ming's eyelids jumped: ...Haha, that annoying daughter is here again. I wonder what she will do this time. It's so annoying. It's so annoying.

He said angrily: "Why are you shouting? I am not deaf yet."

Jiang Li smiled widely, leaned over to the bed and stretched his neck: "Father, let me remind you that I will be getting married next month and will be marrying into the general's mansion. Have you remembered? Come, look at my face and think about what you missed."

"What did you miss? Oh, you said this. I will go to the General's Mansion next month. After all, you are my daughter. On the wedding day, the Queen and I will go."

"…It's not this, it's something else. Think about it carefully and think about what you missed. I'm in a hurry."

Emperor Ming frowned, he really couldn't remember, and shook his head: "I can't remember, I and the Queen will go, what else is there, you girl, are you planning something again?"

Jiang Li's face fell, and he said unhappily: "Humph, my parents gave me a dowry when I got married. My father is an emperor but he is also a father, so why doesn't he give me a dowry?"

"Hmm? Your mother prepared the dowry, so why should I prepare it? Besides, these little things are usually prepared by women. I am so busy that I don't have the time to take care of these things."

"...Haha, very good. I'm also very busy. I'll stop drinking your blood. I'll talk about it after I get married. I'm busy."

After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Emperor Ming.

"Wait, you came to me just for the dowry. Fine, I'll give it to you. You and Defu can go to the treasury to choose whatever you like, so you don't have to make a fuss if you are not satisfied with what I choose for you."

Jiang Li turned and looked at him, his eyes shining.

"National treasury? Father, you let me into the national treasury. Wow, how generous."

Seeing her so excited, Emperor Ming's eyelids twitched, and he quickly added, "Wait, you can go into the treasury, but you can only pick ten things, you can't take more. They belong to me, and there is a lot of grain in there, which is for disaster relief, you can't touch it."

This dead girl is like a starving ghost. If he doesn't control her and let her into the national treasury, she will be so strong that she might empty the national treasury. How can he do that? If she really empties it, he will be poor to death.

"Hey, did you hear that? The food cannot be moved. It's for the disaster-stricken people and the soldiers on the front line."

Seeing how defensive he was, Jiang Li curled his lips and said unhappily, "I know. Don't worry. I will never touch the food for the people. I am not that cruel. I may cheat treacherous officials, but I will not cheat the people."

Emperor Ming turned these words over in his mind and felt that something was wrong. This damn girl did not show any mercy when she cheated him.

"Huh? You didn't show any mercy when you cheated your own father."

"...Uh, that's different. This isn't a trap. You're my biological father. What can I do to you? If I really want to be cruel, I can cut my wrist and let my blood flow for you to drink."

Jiang Li snorted lightly: "Look around the palace, who can give you blood to drink? I care about you and treat you like my own father, so I do this. Otherwise, do you think it's easy for me to nourish blood?"

Emperor Ming felt a little guilty and waved his hands: "Okay, you and Defu go and pick it. Control yourself a little. Your father is really poor now. I won't lie to you. Those endless natural disasters are annoying."

I agreed readily: "I understand what you mean, Father. I'll go first. Thank you very much, Father."
