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

Feng Su looked at the pig's trotter in the bowl, paused with his hand holding the chopsticks, and without saying anything, he directly changed the bowl. He hated eating pig's trotters the most, so this idiot did it on purpose.

Jiang Li: ...Hehe, I did it on purpose, what can you do about it.

The two looked at each other, and the tension between them was known only to themselves. In the eyes of others, they were just the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, and they only had eyes for each other and would not tolerate anyone else.

The jealous eyes of the women were fixed on her, and they wanted to tear the handkerchief into pieces.

When the palace banquet ended, Jiang Li took Bi Yue back. Along the way, Bi Yue's hands were shaking as she held hundreds of thousands of taels of silver bills. Although she had been on duty in the palace for many years, she had never seen so many silver bills before.

"Master, you should keep this banknote. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep if I keep it. What if I lose it? Even if I sell myself, it won't be enough to compensate for it."

Jiang Li rarely saw her panic, so he deliberately wanted to tease her and said casually, "It's okay. If you can't afford it, then don't pay. Just write a good contract and you can pay it back slowly in your next life or ten lives. What are you afraid of?"

"Ah, ten lifetimes, this..."

Bi Yue had a bitter face as she wrapped the banknotes in a handkerchief, fearing that she had not wrapped it tightly enough and what would happen if one of the banknotes flew away. It was not until she heard the laughter that she seemed to realize something.

He snorted softly: "Master, why are you teasing me on purpose?"

Jiang Li's mouth corners slightly raised, and he was in a good mood: "Well, I'm just joking. It's just silver, it's not as important as you. Since you are so worried that I can't collect it, then I will collect it."

"Pick a few for yourself and I'll give them to you."

"No, my monthly salary is already very high, I can't ask for more from my master, you should keep it and spend it slowly."

Jiang Li took it, pulled out a few from it, and stuffed them directly into her arms. He looked up at the moon with a calm expression: "We are one family, there is no need to be so particular, just take it if you give it to me."

Bi Yue hesitated for a moment, but still put it away and thanked softly: "Okay, thank you, Master. Let's go back to Liuguang Palace or go to admire the moon."

"How do you know that I want to go to admire the moon?"

"After coming out of the palace banquet, the master has been looking at the moon. I think he is homesick. I will accompany you to look at it. After we finish our business, we can go home."

Jiang Li's eyebrows curved, and he murmured to himself: "Yes, home is such a warm word. Let's hold on a little longer, and we'll go back after we finish our work."

The two walked and found a balcony. Jiang Li took Bi Yue up there and sat on it, looking at the moon in the sky. His mood gradually calmed down and he said softly, "Look, that's the Big Dipper. If you get lost at night, you can find the right direction by looking at that."

Bi Yue looked up, looked around to see no one, and lowered her voice: "Master, why were you so nice to those generals at the palace banquet? They are from Yun Country."

"Yes, I know. I said it on purpose. If I didn't tell them, how could they know what their future might be like? This is just a window paper. Once it's broken, they will remember it in their hearts."

"No one has told them this before. Even if they knew, they would still be optimistic. Now I am helping them and pointing these out. In the future, they will work so hard on the battlefield. Aren't they impressed by themselves?"

Jiang Li held his chin with his hand and said in a relaxed tone: "As for people, once their beliefs are broken, they will have other thoughts. The consequences of the discord between the monarch and his subjects are beneficial to us."

"Besides, I didn't lie, and I didn't instigate anything maliciously. These are all facts, and they are their future fate. Alas, I really have a kind heart, and I just can't bear to see people being fooled."

Bi Yue's mouth twitched, and she asked in a low voice: "Master, do you think there is really harmony between the ruler and his subjects in this world?"

"Yes, there is. That requires the emperor to have a clear mind and a very broad mind, so that he will not be suspicious of the generals under the instigation of treacherous ministers. Naturally, those things will not happen."

"It's difficult. This kind of situation is too rare. Most of them are just ordinary people. After sitting in a high position for too long, they lose their sense of self and become conscienceless, just like my father, a piece of trash."

"...!"

Jiang Li cursed for a while and felt much better.

"Yeah, it turns out that scolding is better for the body and mind. Some people are just mean-spirited. It's useless to reason with them. Look at A Yuan and his family. They have a very upright family tradition. This is not a good thing."

"It's a good thing to meet a good king, but if you meet a bad one, he will just stick his neck out and wait for others to cut his neck. Don't bet on human nature, it's scarier than ghosts."

Bi Yue listened quietly, her mind a little blown.

"They are lucky to have the princess, otherwise they would not have a good ending. Good people should not end up like that. It's so good now. The good people are alive, and the bad people... are half dead."

Jiang Li chuckled: "That makes sense. I don't know how my father is doing. I guess he's going to die soon. His broken body can't hold on for long anyway."

"We need to deal with things here as soon as possible. Go back and check on that little maid. Have more contact with her. I think something is wrong with her. She may know the whereabouts of Emperor Yun."

"Yes, I know this."

The two watched for an hour, feeling cold all over. Jiang Li led his men down and headed towards Liuguang Palace: "Let's go, it's getting late, let's go back to sleep."

The Crown Prince's Bedroom

A dark figure floated in and knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, the spies have brought back news about Princess Nishang."

Feng Su lazily stood up, opened the envelope, and after reading it carefully, he laughed softly: "Sure enough, that person is not her. She is so brave that she dares to enter the palace alone."

"Your Highness means that the Crown Princess is fake?"

"Well, isn't it obvious? But compared to the fact that she is fake, I am more curious about her true identity. What kind of family can raise a girl like this?"

The black shadow said nothing when he heard this, but lowered his head and waited for instructions.

Feng Su lowered his voice and whispered, "Go get the secret medicine. No matter who she is, poison her first and then control her with the medicine. As for the rest, it doesn't matter."

"Yes, my subordinate will go right away."

a moment later

Feng Su held a porcelain bottle in his hand, rubbing it with his fingertips. A look of determination flashed in his eyes, and he laughed softly: "No matter who you are, since you are here, don't even think about leaving."

I have never seen such an interesting woman before. It would be a pity to let her go. It would be okay to use some means to keep her. After a long time, how could she not be attracted to him?

In his dream, he saw a woman in white, who kept getting farther and closer. No matter how hard he tried to see her clearly, it was as if there was a layer of gauze covering her, and he couldn't see clearly, which made him irritated.

Waking up in the middle of the night, Feng Su looked at the pitch-black night, his eyes darkened, he stood up and walked out, walked along the peach blossom forest, opened the mechanism and entered the secret room.
