Chapter 243 Leaving the Palace

The day soon came to the appointed day.

Early in the morning, Shang Zongguan and Zhao Feng came together.

Zhao Feng came to teach Yu'er martial arts, while Shang Zongguan was going to take Li Xuan out of the palace.

Li Xuan had already told Princess Ankang and Yu'er about leaving the palace in advance.

But he did not tell them the specific details, just said he was going to help Shang Zongguan.

Although Princess Ankang and Yu'er were a little uneasy about Li Xuan's leaving the palace, they felt much more relieved with Shang Zongguan accompanying them.

It was just that the first time they were separated by such a long distance, the two girls always worried about Li Xuan.

"Ah Xuan, you must stay with Shang Zongguan when you leave the palace, and don't run around mischievously."

"If you get lost and can't come back..."

As Princess Ankang spoke, she actually started crying.

"What should I do then!"

"Woo woo woo——"

Shang Zongguan had calculated everything, but he actually forgot to think of this.

In the past, Li Xuan went out to play, because Princess Ankang knew that he would always come home, so she would not worry too much if she could not see him.

But this time was different. Li Xuan was going to follow Shang Zongguan out of the palace. If he got lost outside the palace, it would be the end.

Last night alone, Princess Ankang had no idea how many nightmares she had, all about Li Xuan getting lost.

When she woke up this morning, her pillow was soaked.

"Your Highness, you can rest assured."

"As long as the old slave is here, Ah Xuan must be here."

Shang Zongguan quickly made his own promise.

He never thought that Princess Ankang would be so dependent on Li Xuan.

Li Xuan was just out of the palace for a trip. If Li Xuan really had any problems, I'm afraid Princess Ankang would cry to death on the spot.

Yu'er beside her also had red eyes, and was obviously very worried.

"Ah Xuan, you must be obedient and stay close to Shang Zongguan, okay?"

The two girls caressed Li Xuan reluctantly, cherishing it as if it was the last time they touched him.

"This is it."

Although Li Xuan felt a little speechless about their excessive worry, his heart was warm.

When you know that you have such an important position in the eyes of others, I'm afraid everyone will do the same.

Li Xuan went forward and kissed and hugged the two girls, and after a long time of comforting them, they felt better.

In the end, Princess Ankang and Yu'er still sent them all the way to the gate of Jingyang Palace, and they almost followed him.

After a while of reluctance, Li Xuan finally followed Shang Zongguan out of the palace.

Just looking at the two girls left at home, Li Xuan felt very uncomfortable.

"Alas, is this the mood of parents who work away from home?"

Seeing that Li Xuan was also in a low mood, Shang Zongguan just shook his head gently, but didn't say much.

The close relationship between the three little guys is the envy of others in this palace.

In this palace, even if there is a blood relationship, the relationship may not be that good.

Li Xuan is really lucky to be spoiled by Princess Ankang and Yu'er.

Of course, the same is true for Princess Ankang and Yu'er.

Shang Zongguan first took Li Xuan back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, where there were several empty carriages ready.

Today, Shang Zongguan was nominally going out of the palace to buy.

This job is the most appropriate reason for the eunuchs in the palace to leave the palace.

Whether it is Shang Zongguan or Zhao Feng, when they need to leave the palace on weekdays, they are in the name of buying.

After all, buying can be done every day.

Li Xuan was hidden in the carriage, covered with a thick waterproof tarpaulin.

He looked at the scenery along the way through the gap.

A royal city gate in the West Palace leads directly to the outside of the palace.

After Shang Zongguan led the motorcade straight out of the palace, they stepped into the territory of the capital.

Li Xuan saw the unfamiliar scene and couldn't help but widen his eyes. Everything he saw was strange.

The avenue outside the imperial city was very quiet, with few pedestrians passing by, but the imperial guards patrolled back and forth from time to time.

Looking further away, various ancient buildings stood in a row, and Li Xuan could already hear the noise of people and horses on the street, red lights and wine.

It was still morning, but the capital seemed to be very lively.

After leaving the imperial city, the motorcade followed the wide streets to the south.

The imperial city is located in the northernmost part of the entire capital, and the surrounding areas are all inhabited by high-ranking officials and nobles.

Because in this area, as long as you look up, you can still see the walls of the imperial city.

"It turns out that the palace is so big."

It was also the first time that Li Xuan saw the imperial city from the outside world, and only then did he realize how wide the place where he lived on weekdays was.

The towering imperial city was almost level with the sky, and every ten steps there were guards wearing golden armor standing guard, looking majestic.

After walking for more than half an hour, the convoy finally walked out of the streets adjacent to the imperial city, and in front of them were various markets.

The capital of Daxing was divided into many Fangshi, each with its own functions. Some Fangshi could only be lived in, some Fangshi could only be traded, and most of them were mixed, that is, they could be lived in and traded.

At the beginning, the distinction between Fangshi was quite strict, and all the places where people lived were called Fangshi, and all the places where people traded were called Shishi.

However, as the economic activities of Daxing became more and more prosperous, the consumption demand of the residents of the capital gradually could not be met.

Therefore, the strict requirements for distinguishing Fangshi were gradually relaxed, and it gradually became the mixed form it is today.

Li Xuan found that the farther away from the imperial city, the more lively the Fangshi was.

After walking south for a long time, Shang Zongguan led the convoy to a very large business.

[Ping An Business]

After the convoy led by Shang Zongguan arrived here, someone immediately greeted them respectfully and drove the carriage to the backyard.

The eunuchs who followed were also properly entertained.

Although these eunuchs were humble and obedient in the palace, they were all masters outside the palace.

The manager of the business came to Shang Zongguan and greeted him respectfully. Shang Zongguan just whispered a few words and sent him away.

The purchase was naturally handled by other people.

Li Xuan and Shang Zongguan had other tasks.

Shang Zongguan held Li Xuan and walked into the business, and came to a prepared room without any obstacles.

"Ah Xuan, this Ping An Business is responsible for all the supplies in the palace. It is a business with a very close relationship with Your Majesty."

Shang Zongguan introduced.

Li Xuan also understood after hearing it.

"I'm afraid it's the property of Emperor Yongyuan."

Although Emperor Yongyuan was the emperor, he also needed money.

He couldn't withdraw the money in the treasury at will, so he also needed his own small treasury.

Li Xuan had heard before that emperors also had their own ways to make money, but he didn't expect that Emperor Yongyuan was not behind.

But running a business is also reliable.

It's a hundred times better than those tyrants who sell official positions.

Manager Shang seemed to be familiar with this room. He walked to the closet and started to change his clothes.

There were many props for disguise in the closet. After a while, Manager Shang changed his appearance and body shape and turned into a fat and bearded wealthy businessman.

"Ah Xuan, what do you think of my dress?"

Manager Shang proudly showed off his disguise skills.

It should be said that Manager Shang's trick was really amazing.

From the thin old man before, he immediately turned into a middle-aged wealthy businessman.

But the wrinkles on his face were a little obvious, even if they were covered up, they were still a little conspicuous.

Manager Shang looked in the mirror and felt a little dissatisfied.

"Alas, I'm old after all. It's a bit of a stretch to dress up as a middle-aged man."

Manager Shang's tone was inevitably a little disappointed.

At this time, Li Xuan remembered something, shook his tail, and poured out a few human skin masks from the Emperor Hong bone ring.

When Shang Zongguan saw this rare thing, he was surprised.

But he immediately thought of the channel through which Li Xuan got this thing.

"Ah Xuan, this is what you got in Yuqing Pool."

Shang Zongguan said with a smile.

As the saying goes, the higher the virtue, the higher the evil.

It seems that Emperor Yongyuan has made sufficient preparations for Li Xuan.

Shang Zongguan was not polite, after all, Li Xuan could not use this thing.

He picked a suitable one from it and carefully pasted it on his face.

This human skin mask is not just a matter of sticking it on the face, but there are still various details to be processed.

Li Xuan didn't know this knowledge, but just curiously watched Shang Zongguan operate it, as if he was learning.

Shang Zongguan's craftsmanship was not bad, and he quickly pasted the human skin mask.

Now, the image of a rich businessman with smooth and greasy skin, fat face and round belly can be said to be vivid.

Especially the details on that face, which were really impeccable.

The skin condition was white, plump, and slightly oily. I don't know how this human skin mask imitated it.

Looking at the changed Shang Zongguan in front of him, Li Xuan couldn't help but meow in surprise.

If it wasn't for the smell of the original Shang Zongguan, Li Xuan didn't dare to recognize the person in front of him.

"Haha, how is Ah Xuan now?"

The voice of Shang Zongguan also changed accordingly. If it was just based on the appearance, this disguise was perfect.

Li Xuan didn't expect that those ordinary-looking human skin masks would have such a good effect.

"Ah Xuan, you can put away the remaining ones first."

"This is a treasure that is useful when traveling in the world. Remember to let Princess Ankang and Yu'er read the relevant books in the future. Otherwise, it would be a pity to just leave it unused."

It was rare to see Shang Zongguan give such a high evaluation. Li Xuan also secretly kept this in mind.

"Okay, Ah Xuan."

"Let's set off now and go check the place first."

Shang picked up Li Xuan, but before leaving, he turned Li Xuan over and over, and then said:

"Ah Xuan, this is a rare opportunity, why don't you disguise yourself?"

Li Xuan tilted his head, he had never heard of cats disguising themselves.

But then he nodded and agreed.

Because when he looked forward at Shang's disguise, he felt it was quite interesting, so he wanted to try it himself.

Shang didn't say much, picked up Li Xuan and started to get busy.

Not long after, a fresh cow cat came out.

The Emperor Hong bone ring on Li Xuan's tail was also covered by white, and it didn't look so conspicuous.

"Meow? (I became a cow?)"
