Chu Li was an adopted abandoned infant, raised as the Ninth Prince—a girl disguised as a boy—by Consort Wen to gain favor. However, she was determined to live a 'salted fish' life, just eat...

Before Chu Li returned to Zhaolan Palace, she was discovered by Imperial Tutor Jiang, who gave her the "Essentials of Governance from Various Books" and asked her to go back and memorize it.
It’s a thick book with more than 30,000 words!
Just looking at it takes half my life.
He dragged his tired body and returned to Zhaolan Palace with his head down. Before he could even sit down on the bench, Chongfeng from the Regent's Palace came again.
"Greetings, Ninth Prince."
Chu Li resisted the urge to get angry:
"What's the matter?"
"I, under the orders of my master, have carefully selected outstanding men and specially presented them to the Ninth Prince."
Bang!
After two high-fives, a tall, stern-looking man walked in from outside the door, knelt on the ground with bent knees, and saluted with a clear, cold and pleasant voice, like pearls rolling on a jade plate.
Chu Li: “?”
First he gave her a woman, then he gave her a man. What did he think of her?
A beast with no brains and only the lower body?
Knowing that Chu Dichi had become suspicious of her, she had to put on a full show.
Chu Li said in a calm voice: "Thank you for your kindness, Regent, but this man is not my type."
Chong Feng nodded slightly:
"Because of this, my master has considered everything. Please choose for yourself, Ninth Prince."
After that, three more men walked in.
Tall and handsome.
The boy is fair.
He has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and looks very strong.
The boy has a feminine appearance and is more gentle than a woman.
She is well-suited for both plump and slender women.
She had no choice but to accept it.
Chu Li gripped the armrests tightly, a breath of anger rising to his throat, but he swallowed it back calmly, looked at several people, and picked the youngest one who looked easiest to control.
"Let's go with him."
The young man knelt down to express his gratitude: "I thank the Ninth Prince for his kindness."
Seeing this, Chongfeng did not stay any longer. He took the other three men out of the main hall and glanced at Nuanyu in the courtyard.
Their eyes met for a moment.
Nuanyu lowered her head.
She will keep a close eye on the Ninth Prince's every move.
inside the house.
The door was closed, and the young man knelt in front of the soft seat. He carefully held Chu Li's right foot with both hands and placed it on his shoulder, blushing:
"Please have mercy, Ninth Prince."
Chu Li looked at him, "How old are you?"
The boy lowered his head, very obediently: "Fifteen."
The Regent was deliberately trying to test her, and if she didn't do something, he would definitely become suspicious.
"I will serve you..."
The young man shyly stretched out his hands and untied Chu Li's belt.
Chu Li held him down, "I just fell off the horse yesterday, my right hand is not functioning properly and it hurts, why don't we wait a couple of days before talking about it."
The young man got anxious.
If he fails to complete the mission today, the Regent will definitely take his life!
"I know how to serve others. I know how to do everything. Ninth Prince, just lie down and enjoy yourself. Leave everything to me!"
Chu Li could see that he had no choice but to do so, so naturally he wouldn't make things difficult for him.
"Once you enter Zhaolan Palace, you belong to this prince. I favor you two days later, what's wrong with that? If you are really afraid of losing your life, can you put on an act?"
The young man was slightly startled:
"Acting...acting?"
Chu Li raised his hand and pinched his thigh, twisting it hard.
"ah!"
it hurts!
At the same time, the young man understood what the Ninth Prince meant, and his voice immediately softened, groaning and crying out in pain:
"Ninth Prince, it hurts... ah! Be gentle, ah..."
The boy's suppressed crying voice spread out, mixed with a bit of ambiguity, and reached Nuan Yu's ears.
Nuan Yu, who was eavesdropping in the corner, blushed.
I didn't expect the Ninth Prince to have such a hobby...
-
An hour later.
Chu Li, who had successfully gotten away with it, tied his belt, ran out of the palace, and met Qin Muyu at the old place.
"Ahri, you're here!"
"how?"
"You told me the route, and I sent people to spy on it. There is indeed a trail up the mountain, but the bandits come down the mountain from this trail every evening to buy supplies. I can only wait until it gets darker, and then I will lead people to sneak up the mountain secretly."
Chu Li nodded: "I will go with you."
"But you're still injured..."
"It's okay. Saving lives is more important."
The eldest sister-in-law has always treated her well, and Chu Hongyan is also soft and cute. For the sake of her little nephew, she can't just stand by and watch.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Qin Muyu immediately ordered someone to bring a gentle mare, which would not hurt her and would also help her travel faster.
An hour later.
Arrived at Wenchuan Mountain.
This mountain is endless and surrounded by steep mountains. As far as the eye can see, there are large tracts of dense forests. If people who are not familiar with this place rashly enter, they will definitely get lost and lose their lives.
At this time, the setting sun shines on the earth, and the birds flap their wings to return to their nests, showing the extraordinary tranquility in the mountains.
"We are behind Wenchuan Mountain."
Qin Muyu whispered:
"Today, the Sixth Prince and General Wang brought troops to the foot of the mountain to negotiate with the bandits, attempting to rescue the First Prince and his wife by offering them amnesty. Most of the bandits have been pinned down, so we have a great chance of successfully rescuing them."
He commanded twelve men, dressed in green clothes, and hid in the green woods.
Disperse and slowly go up the mountain to lie dormant.
Chu Li went with Qin Muyu.
"Ali, walk behind me." Qin Muyu pressed her wrist, but found that her wrist was very thin and could not even be held in one hand.
It seems like it will break if you pinch it slightly.
The tips of his ears were slightly red.
When we were young, we went to school together at the Academy, and I didn't think Ali was delicate and pretty. But now that she has grown up, the orchid fragrance on Ali is more pleasant than that of a girl.
Chu Li didn't notice and whispered:
"Just keep walking. I can keep up."
He asked her to walk behind because he was afraid that there might be traps set by bandits in the woods or that they would be discovered by the bandits, so he could protect her at the first time.
Qin Muyu nodded, leaned down, and moved swiftly through the woods.
Although Chu Li's right hand was inconvenient, he had learned some martial arts, so moving through the woods was no problem for him.
The two of them quietly moved up the mountain.
As the sun sets, the light in the woods gradually dims, becoming almost indistinct. Suddenly, a dark shadow scurries over from the other side of the woods.
“Someone’s here!”
Qin Muyu told Chu Li vigilantly.
Chu Li also saw it.
About six or seven meters away from them.
However, he was alone and heading towards the mountain. Could he be a bandit coming down the mountain to buy supplies?
Chu Li's eyes turned slightly and he took out a slingshot from his sleeve.
Use this.
Normally, he would shoot birds with ease, but now he used it to shoot people. One bullet shot out and hit the person's knees so hard that he fell to the ground.
"Muyu, it hits you!"
Qin Muyu was as fast as an arrow. He kicked the man from behind and lifted his clothes to cover his head.
"You stubborn bandit, you have hands and feet, why did you choose to do something else but this unscrupulous way!"
Chu Li went up and kicked him hard:
"How dare you kidnap the eldest prince and his wife? How many heads do you have? You are courting death!"
He picked up a wooden stick and started beating the man hard.
“Mmm! Mmm!”
The man struggled, but Qin Muyu grabbed his shoulders and pressed him to the ground.
"You also feel pain? When you robbed the people and bullied the masses, you should have thought that this day would come!" Chu Li waved the stick, "You still dare to beg for mercy!"
“Hmm!”
Qin Muyu stopped him: "That's enough, Ah Li. We can use this person as a cover to find the eldest prince and his wife."
"good."
Chu Li threw her long hair behind her, exhaled two breaths of hot air, and took the clothes off the man's head.
When she saw the other person's face, her eyes suddenly widened, and the next second, she quickly covered herself with her clothes.
It’s over!
