Chen Pingting couldn't possibly have a good face towards Xiao Li: "You still have the leisure to enter the palace? And you can still smile?"
Xiao Li: "You're really nosy. What does it have to do with you whether I smile or not?"
Chen Pingting gritted her teeth: "You're really sharp-tongued."
Then he thought of something and laughed out loud: "Xuan Yang, you can't be so desperate because you can't win Mr. Lu's heart, right?"
"The Lu family also dislikes you. They don't even want you to look at them during their visit. Hahaha..." She sneered, "You are so pitiful."
Xiao Li also laughed, much more evilly than her: "What do I need his heart for? I can't make soup with it, but his body is mine. I can beat him up and sleep with him as I please. It's a pity that some people can't even get a hair off of it. They can only drool at the side! Ha~~~~"
He smiled contemptuously and left.
Chen Pingting was so angry that she dug her nails into her palms: "Xuan Yang!!!"
Ahhh! This is so infuriating.
This bitch!!
She would definitely ask Mr. Lu to divorce her, trample her into the mud, and make her suffer!
Chen Pingting was thinking about how to deal with Xiao Li, but Xiao Li didn't want to let her go either. She turned around and went to the Empress Dowager's palace first to file a complaint!
"Queen Mother, why don't I divorce my husband?"
The Queen Mother frowned: "What are you doing?"
Xiao Li sighed, "I'm not trying to make a scene. I'm doing this for the Queen Mother's sake."
The Queen Mother sneered: "Just be obedient to me."
Xiao Li slowly shook the lid of the cup and asked, "Does the Queen Mother know that Cousin Pingting has a lover?"
The Queen Mother's expression darkened. "Pingting will soon enter the palace as a concubine. Don't speak nonsense. If you ruin her reputation, I will not forgive you."
Xiao Li was not afraid of her: "The Queen Mother, you are wronging me. I would love for my cousin Pingting to enter the palace. Otherwise, she has been against me for the sake of the prince consort. She has been more active than me in visiting the prince consort. She even cried in front of Mrs. Lu after seeing the prince consort injured. People who don't know would think that Lu Yanzhi is her prince consort. I have been hesitant about how to tell the Queen Mother these past two days."
"You know, if the prince consort wants to take a concubine, I can't stop her, but how can my cousin from the Chen family be his concubine? I was afraid that you would be embarrassed. Now that I hear you say that my cousin wants to be my sister-in-law, I feel relieved."
The Queen Mother's face was extremely ugly, but Xiao Li's words were measured and she had no way to scold her. She even had to praise her for being thoughtful.
Xiao Li didn't want the empress dowager to praise her, so she ran away after applying eye drops to the empress dowager.
As expected, it would have been impossible for Chen Pingting to wander around before becoming a concubine.
But the emperor is afraid that he doesn't want to accept such a concubine now.
Tsk tsk, this is going to be a good show.
-------
The emperor originally wanted to allocate 100 people directly to Xiao Li, but she insisted on choosing them herself.
Fortunately, it was not a big deal, and the emperor agreed, but did not let Xiao Li choose the imperial guards. Instead, he asked her to go to the military department to choose.
The Bingmasi was the military headquarters of the entire capital, and the imperial guards responsible for guarding the palace were elites carefully selected from among the Bingmasi.
The level dropped a lot.
Fortunately, Xiao Li himself had never thought of picking the imperial guards.
What a joke. Not all of the imperial guards, but at least 80% of them are loyal to the emperor. Who knows where the rest were planted. She would be a fool to pick a bunch of landmines for herself.
Although the Bingmasi does not have so many elites, the backgrounds of the low-ranking soldiers are absolutely clean, and there are always pearls covered in dust among those ordinary soldiers.
The princess chose her guards, which was a comfortable and lucrative job. After receiving the order, the deputy commander of the military department selected a hundred people and waited.
"Princess, you see, these one hundred men were carefully selected by me. They are all brave warriors in the army and can definitely protect your safety."
Xiao Li took a look and saw a hundred soldiers standing in rows, each standing straight with their heads held high and their chests puffed out. They seemed to be in good spirits.
Then the next moment she saw some people scratching, some moving their feet, and some almost falling down while standing.
Xiao Li casually pulled a knife from the shelf, threw it aside, and only took the scabbard.
As he walked past those people, before he even moved, the man saw Xiao Li approaching, and his breath suddenly stopped. His puffed-up chest instantly slumped, and he grinned guiltily, "Princess."
Xiao Li slapped his scabbard and said, "You, stand over there!"
After saying that, he swung the scabbard down and hit the next person's feet, knocking the person to the ground in an instant.
Xiao Li: ...I simply can’t bear to watch it.
The soldier got up with a red face: "Princess, I..."
Xiao Li just glanced at him and said, "Do you want me to treat you?"
Xiao Li kept hitting them, each blow heavier than the last. Although no one fell down, few people could stand straight. They were all a bunch of cowards who lived in idleness.
The scabbard was lost with a snap.
"Deputy General Liu, is this the person you chose for this princess?"
"There's an assassin in this princess's mansion, so I'm adding guards. Are you picking these because you're waiting for me to die so you can collect my body?"
Lieutenant General Liu probably hadn't expected the princess to actually inspect the goods, and he felt a little embarrassed. "They just haven't seen the princess before, so they may have lost their composure for a moment. That doesn't mean they're incompetent. I'll have them demonstrate their skills to the princess immediately."
"No need."
It was obvious that he was fooling her by treating her as a princess who knew nothing.
Xiao Li jumped on his horse and rode towards the military camp.
To be honest, the environment in the military camp is really bad. Even though this is the military headquarters in the capital, it is just barely acceptable.
The ground was compacted with earth, and there were men emitting the stench of sweat, as well as all kinds of strange smells.
