Chapter 41 I Also Want to Keep a Low Profile

The next day, after practicing her sword early in the morning, Li Tingting leisurely ate breakfast.

"Miss, this is your first time going to report for duty. Shouldn't you have gone earlier?"

While serving her breakfast, Chunmei asked, puzzled.

"Haha, no need to rush, I'll eat first and then set off."

Li Tingting ate her breakfast gracefully and replied at a leisurely pace.

After she finally finished her breakfast, Chunmei wanted to help her put on her armored guard uniform,

Li Tingting refused to wear it, saying, "Just leave it there! I won't wear it. I'll just carry the military knife and my waist tag."

"Ah, why? Miss," Chunmei asked, looking at her blankly.

Li Tingting laughed and said, "Wearing it is so ugly."

After she finished speaking, she had also straightened her clothes.

After finishing combing his hair, he hurriedly grabbed his waist tag and military knife and set off.

Before leaving, she didn't forget to look in the mirror and muttered something under her breath.

"Sigh! If beauty could put food on the table, I don't know how many people I could support with my looks alone."

Li Tingting instructed her servants to arrange a carriage for her, and she also requested that two guards accompany her when she went out.

This series of actions left Chunmei completely bewildered.

He practically blurted out what was on her mind: "You yourself used to be someone's bodyguard."

Why put on airs? Being late for work is one thing, but having to ride in a carriage and bring bodyguards is another.

Everyone should go to work and have a job; why act like a spoiled princess?

Li Tingting looked at Chunmei, whose face was completely bewildered, and said with a smile:

"Haha, we'd like to keep a low profile, but our strength won't allow it."

They set off quickly; the journey from the general's mansion to the palace was not far.

After leaving the General's Mansion, you will reach the gate of Yonghua Palace after passing through a few streets.

Li Tingting looked closely and saw a winding bluestone path extending beneath the red walls, leading to the majestic and solemn palace.

Sunlight spilled onto the road, casting dappled shadows of trees.

The palace maids, dressed in gorgeous costumes, were busy with various tasks, moving forward with small, quick steps.

Flowers bloom in profusion on both sides of the road, and petals fall as a gentle breeze blows.

As you approach the palace gates, the majestic palace comes into view, its glazed tiles shimmering golden in the sunlight.

The vermilion gate slowly opened, as if telling a mysterious story from the depths of the palace.

As Li Tingting approached, the guards at the gate immediately surrounded her.

She quickly took out her waist token, which the leading guard examined.

With a serious expression, he said, "You wait here for a moment, I will go and inform the head of the guards."

There are 20 guards in Yonghua Palace responsible for security patrols and defense inside and outside the palace;

The perimeter security force consists of six people, patrol personnel six people, and internal security personnel a total of eight people.

A head guard was also appointed. Li Tingting came to report for duty today, so naturally the head guard is her superior.

Of course, there are also 15 maids in Yonghua Palace who are responsible for the daily life, dressing and grooming of the Imperial Noble Consort, and other internal affairs.

Ten eunuchs and attendants were responsible for relaying messages and managing miscellaneous tasks.

Serving the Imperial Noble Consort on her travels and handling various trivial matters within the palace.

Soon the head guard rushed out, glanced at Li Tingting, and immediately began to interrogate her.

"Why are you so late? And why aren't you wearing armor?"

"Yes, I wake up at this time every day. As for why I don't wear armor, it's because it's too ugly."

Li Tingting seemed indifferent.

The head guard immediately flew into a rage, "How dare you, Li Tingting! Are you treating the palace regulations like a joke?"

"Haha, I didn't. I only know that in the military, whoever has the strongest fist gets to listen to them."

"Would you like to give it a try, Captain?" Li Tingting smiled provocatively.

Upon hearing this, the head guard immediately realized that he had encountered a troublemaker today.

But seeing that Li Tingting was a woman, he felt that he had nothing to be afraid of, so he gave the order on the spot.

"Men, seize her for me."

Upon hearing the order from the head guard, the guards immediately moved closer to Li Tingting.

Li Tingting was agile and her moves were fierce, with each punch and kick accompanied by a whooshing sound.

Although the guards were well-trained, they were powerless against Li Tingting.

A guard wielding a long sword slashed at her, but Li Tingting dodged to the side.

He seized the guard's wrist and twisted it forcefully. The guard screamed and his long sword fell to the ground.

She kicked him, sending him sprawling to the ground.

Several more guards rushed at her, but Li Tingting remained calm and composed.

His hands moved like phantoms, sometimes blocking, sometimes striking.

After several rounds, the guards were staggering and swaying.

At this moment, the remaining guards in the palace heard the commotion and rushed over.

They surrounded Li Tingting, trying to overwhelm her with their numbers.

However, Li Tingting's eyes were firm, showing no fear. She moved like a ghost, darting freely through the crowd.

A guard attacked from behind, but Li Tingting seemed to have eyes in the back of her head.

With a backhand elbow strike, he hit the guard straight in the chest. The guard groaned and staggered backward.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Tingting leaped high into the air and delivered a whirlwind kick, causing several guards around her to fall to the ground.

Before long, all twenty-odd guards were lying sprawled on the ground.

Groans rose and fell. Li Tingting, however, stood calmly in the center, like a war goddess.

Consort Hui, who was recuperating in Yonghua Palace, was also disturbed by the commotion outside.

He quickly opened his eyes and asked unhappily, "What's going on outside? Why is there such a loud noise?"

A palace maid hurriedly replied, "Your Highness, the guards outside are fighting with the new guards who arrived today."

"Ah, what are they trying to do? Come, take me outside to see."

To her surprise, as soon as she stepped out the door, she saw that her guards had already been beaten to a pulp.

She had been worried that Li Tingting would be injured by the guards.

If that's the case, she doesn't know how to explain it to her cousin.

Who would have thought that it was her guards who were useless, and they were all beaten down by Li Tingting.

"A bunch of useless trash, what are you doing? All of you, be dismissed by me."

"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant obeys!" The head guard nodded repeatedly in response.

Then, reluctantly, he ordered everyone to return to their posts.

"Your subordinate, Li Tingting, greets Consort Hui. I was merely exchanging pointers with my colleagues just now."

"And by the way, let's test their combat capabilities," Li Tingting said with a grin.

"Tingting, please dispense with the formalities! Your third uncle sent someone to inform me last night."

From now on, you will be in charge of my personal security.

Consort Hui smiled, appearing magnanimous and forgiving.

Although Consort Hui did not understand why Li Tingting was being so high-profile.

But she also knew that the Li family was not to be trifled with, so she would still try to help them if she could.

Given her already weak influence in the palace, it wouldn't be a loss if she could cultivate a good relationship with the Li family through Li Tingting.
