Chapter 394: The Crown Princess Says East, He Will Never Go West

As soon as she left the capital, Lu Li changed her attire.

The originally bright and generous girl transformed into a handsome young man.

She had been in the Dark Guard since she was a child and had mastered the art of making human skin masks.

For this trip, she prepared several human skin masks.

Changing her own look was not enough, Lu Li set her sights on Lu Xuan and Lu Can.

"No, everyone has to dress up so as not to be recognized."

Lu Xuan and Lu Can didn't know what she wanted to do, so they cooperated obediently.

With the help of their maids, Lu Xuan and Lu Can both put their hair into double buns and put on beautiful dresses.

Lu Li took out rouge and powder and gave Lu Can a beautiful makeup.

She is very satisfied with her work.

She took out the small mirror she carried with her and handed it to Lu Can so that he could see it clearly.

“Does it look good?”

Lu Can nodded obediently: "It looks good!"

As for Lu Xuan, Lu Li took a glance at him and found him a bit eye-catching.

The little black girl seems to be more eye-catching.

Lu Xuan had no idea what he was doing, and he also took out a small mirror.

He looked around randomly, then looked at Lu Li and Lu Can.

"Ninth sister, fourth brother, do I look good?" Lu Xuan blinked his big eyes and looked at them expectantly.

Lu Can was about to honestly say that it didn't look good, but Lu Li covered his mouth.

If this kid starts crying later, we will have to spend time comforting him.

So she lied and said, "It looks good!"

Then he emphasized: "For the rest of the journey, you can't call me sister. You have to call me brother. Remember that."

"I've got it." Lu Can nodded obediently.

Lu Li was very satisfied, and looked at Lu Xuan who was still a little confused and didn't react: "I am the brother, he is the sister, don't call him the wrong name."

"Then I am the younger sister?" Lu Xuan pointed at himself.

"So smart." Lu Li touched his little head in admiration.

They soon arrived at their first stop of this trip - Du'an County.

This time, they went to southern Xinjiang first, then to Xichang, Beiyong, and finally Dongluo, just like last time.

Arriving at the destination, Qin Xiao was responsible for finding a place to stay. Soon, he found a suitable inn.

When they arrived at the inn, Qu Songnian asked them to get off the carriage.

"Miss, be careful..."

Before he could utter the word "under your feet", he froze.

Why did the fourth prince disguise himself as a woman? ? ?

Lu Cang didn't think too much and jumped off the carriage with her skirt lifted up.

Lu Li saw this from behind and said in a deep voice, "You are a lady from a rich family, please pay attention to your image."

Qu Songnian looked up.

Yes, the Crown Princess disguised herself as a man.

After Lu Li got out of the car, she carried Lu Xuan down.

Qu Songnian was completely silent.

Young Master Lu Xuan also became Miss Lu Xuan. Is this the strange hobby of princesses and princes?

After entering the inn and settling down, Lu Li held a meeting for everyone.

"From now on, I am the eldest master of the Lu family. These are the eldest and second young ladies. Remember not to address them wrongly." Lu Li pointed at Lu Can and Lu Xuan and instructed.

Outsiders only knew that the Ninth Princess was on a secret visit with the prince. Now that she has grown into a teenager and has two younger sisters, she shouldn't be easily discovered, right?

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After all, the emperor said that this time, he would listen to the crown princess.

After lunch, Lu Li took the two children out for a walk. It was Lu Can's first time going out, so he was very excited.

Qu Songnian looked at Lu Can dressed up like a girl and couldn't help but remind her tactfully: "Miss, don't you think it's weird for you to be like this?"

"It's not surprising, Jiu... Oh no, big brother said it looks good. Anyway, big brother asked me to do this, so he must have his reasons." Lu Can's face was full of admiration for Lu Li.

"Father said before we set out that we should obey my eldest brother in everything."

Qu Songnian: …

Well, he was worrying for nothing.

But he still felt awkward and couldn't help but ask Long Aotian who was standing beside him.

"Do you think it's strange for the young lady to dress like this?"

"It's not strange, it's very beautiful!" Long Aotian nodded affirmatively.

When Lu Li heard this, she gave him a thumbs up.

Have vision.

Long Aotian grinned and followed them to help carry things.

My father has told me that I must be nice to the Crown Princess.

If the princess says east, he will never go west. If the princess says the moon in the sky is square, then it cannot be round.

All in all, he had to make sure the Crown Princess had a happy trip.

Looking at those happy people, Qu Songnian suddenly felt that he was somewhat out of place among them.

His father asked him to accompany the Crown Princess on a secret visit so that he could learn more. Could it be that he wanted to learn how to dress up as a woman?

…

Lu Li and the others didn't think so much. They had been having fun in Du'an County for three days and were ready to set off, but unexpectedly the weather turned bad and it suddenly started to rain heavily.

"Then stay for two more days." Lu Li waved his hand and made the decision.

Naturally, people will not object.

Unexpectedly, two days later, the rain got heavier and heavier, with no sign of stopping.

"Brother, we won't be trapped here forever, unable to leave, right?" Lu Can asked Lu Li worriedly.

This is their fifth day in Du'an County.

"That's not the case. It rains for seven or eight days every year in our An County. Don't worry, my guests. The sky will clear up soon." The waiter who served the dishes heard Lu Can's words and replied with a smile.

"Really? That's great." Lu Can calculated the time. After staying for two more days, the rain would stop and they could leave.

Lu Li looked at the heavy rain outside, but she was not so optimistic.

Seeing this kind of astronomical phenomenon, the first thing she thought of was to check whether the nearby embankments were strong enough.

Be sure not to let it rain too heavily, so as not to break the embankments and cause floods to submerge the villages, leaving the villagers with nowhere to go.

She used the melon-eating system to look at all the nearby embankments, and her face changed when she saw them.

[The county magistrate of Du'an County actually embezzled the Hegong Silver that was allocated from the capital last year! ]

[Damn it, they actually passed off inferior products as good ones. In order to save costs, they even mixed gravel, dead branches and leaves and other debris into it. ]

[This dam can't hold up under such heavy rain.]

[If it rains heavily for another two days, I'm afraid the dam will collapse! ]

Lu Can was shocked when he heard what was in her heart.

If the dam collapses, won’t the people be in great trouble?

After he was born and grew up, his mother told him that he was a good boy, so he could hear what the Ninth Princess was thinking.

But you must never tell this to the Ninth Princess, lest she knows and won’t dare to speak her mind.

Therefore, when he heard it now, he did not panic, but waited nervously for the Ninth Princess's instructions.

"Xiao Qin, take your men to check the embankment on Hengdu River to see if it is still strong and how long it can last?" Lu Li immediately gave an order to Qin Xiao, the commander of the Jinyiwei.

In order to prevent others from hearing his name and exposing his identity, she changed Qin Xiao's name to Xiao Qin.

"Yes." Qin Xiao has always been taciturn, but he is very clear when carrying out orders.

The waiter was just serving the last dish. Upon hearing this, he smiled and said, "Our dike was rebuilt last year. It's very solid. Young Master, you don't have to be too nervous."
