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

There was a knock on the door. Jiang Li pulled the quilt, turned over and continued to sleep. Soon, the knocks became louder and louder, mixed with the eunuch's shrill voice: "Crown Princess, please wake up. I am here to pass on your instructions."

Bi Yue came back with the water and saw the nanny hiding aside without saying a word. A eunuch was still banging on the door. Everything went dark before her eyes.

If the master is woken up, he will be angry.

She quickly stepped forward and reminded him, "Sir, if you have anything to say, you may as well tell me. The princess goes to bed late and needs to sleep a little longer today. It's better not to wake her up."

The little eunuch turned around and said in displeasure: "I came to pass on the order, so of course the Crown Princess has to come in person. You, a little maid, have no right to speak. Why don't you stay away? You have delayed His Highness's business, and you will suffer the consequences."

Seeing this, Bi Yue frowned and said coldly: "Don't forget, eunuch, you are just a servant. My princess is of noble status. How can I allow you to act so presumptuous here? The maids have to watch."

"If you wake the princess up, you won't want to see the consequences. I've already told you. You can tell me the order. When the princess wakes up, I'll tell her."

"If you insist on having your own way, don't blame me."

The old eunuch narrowed his eyes and sneered, "She is just a princess who came here for marriage. Your Highness has not even consummated the marriage yet, which shows that he is not satisfied with the Crown Princess. It is a bit too presumptuous to make fun of her here."

"I just went out of the palace to do some things. I didn't expect that there would be such a person who doesn't know the rules in the palace. Aunt Gui, you really disappoint me. His Highness didn't ask you to come here to enjoy your retirement."

Upon hearing this, the nanny in the dark came out immediately. Without saying a word, she slapped Bi Yue in the face and turned around to flatter her, "Eunuch Shun, calm down. It's all because of this old slave's failure to take good care of you."

The old eunuch snorted. He was the senior eunuch beside the prince and had watched the prince grow up. He had never been treated like this before. The little girl was really disrespectful and needed to be punished.

With a creak, the door opened behind me.

Jiang Li yawned, rubbed his eyes, and said in a sleepy voice: "Who is sick to stay up so early in the morning? Knock, knock, knock your mother's soul, it's so annoying, whoever knocks it, stand up for me."

Shun Gonggong stood aside, raised his chin, and shook the whisk in his hand: "Greetings to the Crown Princess. It was I who knocked. Now that the Crown Princess is awake, then you can speak."

"His Highness has ordered the Crown Princess to..."

"what!!"

Before he could finish his words, he was kicked away by Jiang Li. He raised his hand to pat the dust off his legs, with a look of disgust on his face: "Where did you come from, you rubbish? You are so annoying. His Highness has never been like this in front of me."

"Humph, you are taking advantage of your age, Bi Yue..."

Jiang Li's eyes fell on her face, where the slap mark was clearly visible. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes became more dangerous: "Chen Lu, what happened to the wound on your face? Who did it?"

Bi Yue sniffed and pointed at the person beside her: "To answer your question, it was Nanny Gui who said that I didn't know the rules and slapped me. Don't worry, Princess. It doesn't hurt."

"Fight back. I'll see who dares to fight back."

"Yes, I understand. Thank you, Princess!"

Bi Yue walked over, raised her hand and slapped her twice. Nanny Gui had blood on the corner of her mouth. She fell to her knees and cried, "Princess, how could you treat this old slave like this?"

"I just have good intentions. I am afraid that Miss Chenlu doesn't know the rules and might offend Eunuch Shun. He is a favorite of the Crown Prince. It will not be good for you to offend him. The Crown Prince's wife is actually like this. I feel really wronged."

Jiang Li leaned against the door, looking lazy: "Oh, if you are so wronged, just go and bang your head against the wall and die. Why are you nagging? He is just an old eunuch. So what if I offended you?"

"Get away from me, and go back and tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that you must have forgotten how I saved his life last night. If you have forgotten, I will spread the word so that everyone will know."

"Chenlu, Xiangcao, go and throw Nanny Gui out. As for that eunuch Shun, who woke me up so early in the morning, I won't bother him much considering that he is old and confused."

"Drive them all out. If they don't get out, I'll kill them all."

When Eunuch Shun met those eyes filled with murderous intent, he was so frightened that his back felt cold. He quickly got up and crawled out. Nanny Gui followed behind him, and the two of them fled.

Bi Yue closed the door and spat at their backs: "You deserve it!"

Jiang Li covered his mouth and yawned, his voice still sounding a bit sleepy: "Biyue, there is ointment in the drawer of the dressing table, don't forget to apply it. Look at your little face, it's swollen. I'm going to have a day off and need to sleep for a day."

"If there are people who don't know how to behave, just send them away. If they don't want to leave, just kill them and bury them. It's really annoying..."

"Yes, I know this."

Vanilla and the others went in, looked up, and said tremblingly: "Sister Chenlu, the princess has always been like this before, she looks so scary, I spilled some water last night, will she be killed?"

Bi Yue couldn't help but smile: "No, the princess is not cruel. If you don't anger her, she won't punish the servants easily. It's just that she has a little stomachache and is a little irritable."

"Go make some brown sugar ginger tea. I'll bring it in later. The princess will drink it and take a nap. When her body feels better, her mood will naturally improve."

"Okay, I'll go right away. Thank you, Sister Chenlu."

Bi Yue waved her hand and said casually: "It's okay, call me when you're done, other maids, don't rush to leave, go prepare some food first, the princess will get hungry easily."

The maids nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I will prepare it right away."

In a blink of an eye, it was afternoon. Jiang Li woke up, his stomachache was gone, and his facial expression was much more relaxed. He walked to the yard and sat down.

Bi Yue saw that she had woken up and came over: "My lady, a eunuch just came to tell me that the Crown Prince is not feeling well and needs someone to take care of him. Do you think it would be a good time to go over there?"

Jiang Li looked surprised and pointed at himself.

"Will you let me go to serve you?"

"Yes, that is what your Highness meant."

"Oh, we need to boil some medicine or feed some medicine. That's fine. Let's go now and get some coptis powder. We'll give His Highness some more later. Good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease. Eat more bitter food and you'll get better faster."

As soon as these words came out, Bi Yue's eyes flashed with understanding, and she suppressed her smile: "Yes, I will get it right away."

a moment later

The master and servant came to the prince's bedroom and boiled the medicine according to the imperial physician's instructions. After it was done, Jiang Li held the medicine and poured half a bottle of coptis powder into it while no one was paying attention. He chuckled secretly and said, "Come on, let's torture each other."

Jiang Li brought the medicine in and stood by the bed. He looked at the person lying on the bed with a bad look on his face. His eyes were wet, as if he was about to cry: "Your Highness, what happened to you?"
