Chapter 445 The Cold Palace Is Not Cold

"Your Highness, it's not right for you to answer the door in person. Go back and sit down."

"Ah Xuan, you should be obedient too. Go back quickly."

Yu'er advised earnestly, but both the man and the cat pretended not to hear.

Princess Ankang was even more smiling, with curiosity in her eyes.

Li Xuan's tail was hanging high, like a flagpole erected majestically. He ignored Yu'er's nagging and directly quickened his pace to surpass him, directly climbed over the courtyard wall at the gate, and stretched his head to look out.

"Let me see if there are any blind people looking for trouble?"

The one knocking on the door was the flowery eunuch guarding the door.

However, unlike before, there is now a team of ten flowery eunuchs guarding the gate of Jingyang Palace.

There are also two teams of flowery eunuchs patrolling nearby, which can be regarded as a strict defense.

Before, when Shang Zongguan introduced them, he only said that the guards around Jingyang Palace were slightly increased.

After all, their location is remote and there are not many people nearby, so more guards are also for their safety.

But Li Xuan's perception is amazing, and he clearly knows how much "slightly" Shang Zongguan said.

Compared with the past, it has increased by fifteen times.

A total of thirty eunuchs in flowery clothes stroll around Jingyang Palace all year round, and there should be no one who is blind to cause trouble.

This is why Li Xuan is so curious about who the visitor is.

Jingyang Palace is now living a good life, and I am afraid that many people in this palace will be jealous.

And just as Li Xuan expected, undisguised jealous words have been heard outside the door.

"Fuck, this gate!"

"It's much bigger than the gate of my small courtyard, right?"

"And this door nail, it seems to be pure gold!"

"Hey, don't knock it, it's really embarrassing!"

"Oh, why did I meet this guy."

Li Xuan listened to the lively movement and couldn't help laughing when he saw who was coming.

There were quite a few people who came, including the fifth prince, the seventh princess, the eighth prince, and Princess Yuan'an.

Several princes and princesses who were close to Princess Ankang were all here.

They all had things in their hands, and it seemed that they had prepared gifts.

"They are well-informed."

Li Xuan couldn't help but smile when he saw that they were several princes and princesses.

They were considered the few friends of Princess Ankang in the palace.

Although the princes and princesses were brothers and sisters in name, the competitions in recent months also made Li Xuan see them clearly.

Some people were worse than strangers, not to mention brothers and sisters.

Especially after the struggle for power, they did everything they could.

However, the eighth prince and others, after several contacts, became closer and closer to Princess Ankang. Now they can help each other when there is something, and have become each other's helpers.

Of course, the most important point is that these people are not so interested in the competition in the Imperial Garden.

Otherwise, if there is an unavoidable competitive relationship, it is still difficult for them to get so close.

Soon, Yu'er came to answer the door.

After discovering that the visitors were several princes and princesses, they immediately invited them in.

As a result, the fifth prince refused:

"No, no, no, this is our first visit to Jingyang Palace, let's be more formal."

"It's in accordance with the rules to report it when you go in."

When the eighth prince heard this, he pushed the fifth prince aside:

"You are the only one who has too many things to do. We are so familiar with Ankang, why are you making a fuss?"

He was about to follow Yu'er in, but was stopped by the seventh princess and Princess Yuan'an, who had dark circles under their eyes, holding their shoulders on the left and right.

"I think the fifth brother is right about this matter." Princess Yuan'an said seriously with a stern face.

The seventh princess also nodded.

But at this moment, Princess Ankang, who was hiding behind the door, heard their voices and jumped out directly, making her debut.

"Since you must inform me, then just inform me directly."

Several people were startled by Princess Ankang's sudden appearance.

The Eighth Prince laughed and said, "You see, Ankang doesn't follow the ordinary path, why do you force it?"

"Ankang, my brother came to see you, and brought you a gift."

The Eighth Prince said, handed the gift box in his hand to Princess Ankang, and then stepped into the Jingyang Palace on his own, looking around and visiting, and couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

"Alas, I wanted to say something more formal."

The Fifth Prince seemed a little regretful, but he also handed the gift box in his hand to Princess Ankang.

"Ankang, congratulations on your new home."

"Fifth brother, I just renovated it, and the place is still the same." Princess Ankang held the gift box and explained with a smile.

"That's worth congratulating, sister!"

Princess Yuan'an and the Seventh Princess also walked forward, congratulated Princess Ankang, and gave Princess Ankang the gifts they prepared.

Princess Ankang immediately took a few people to the main hall and sat down.

Yu'er also added a few more tea cups for the few people and brought out some more snacks.

Li Xuan got into Princess Ankang's arms again and lay down. Princess Ankang squinted her eyebrows and glared at Li Xuan who was running around.

Li Xuan pretended not to see it and secretly took the snacks on the table to eat.

After Yu'er prepared the snacks, she stood behind Princess Ankang and smiled at the lively table.

Jingyang Palace used to be so lively.

"How did you know I came back today?"

Princess Ankang asked curiously.

Even she herself only received a notice from Shang Zongguan a few days ago.

"Ankang, the news in this palace spreads very fast."

"You have to pay more attention in the future. You can't be like before, turning a deaf ear to what's happening outside the window."

The eighth prince explained casually.

"Sister, you don't know yet, do you?"

"As soon as the renovation of Jingyang Palace was completed, everyone in the palace who should know about it knew about it."

"After all, when this place was being renovated, it caused quite a stir in the palace."

Princess Yuan'an said excitedly.

Li Xuan listened in Princess Ankang's arms and thought so.

Jingyang Palace was renovated so exaggeratedly, how could the news be concealed when it started?

And this place is in the West Palace, people have plenty of ways to take a look.

And the exaggerated new specifications of Jingyang Palace are something that no one in the palace can remain calm when seeing.

Li Xuan estimated that during the time they lived in Xingqing Palace, the palace was definitely not quiet.

"Ankang, you don't know."

"During this period, someone has spent a lot of effort to stop the renovation of your Jingyang Palace, but unfortunately all of them were blocked by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

The fifth prince said with some gloating.

He himself couldn't stand the secretive methods that could not be brought to the surface in the palace.

Now seeing those villains being humiliated, they are naturally very happy.

During this period of time, they have eaten a lot of melons in the palace, which has brought a lot of fun to the fifth prince in addition to studying.

But as to who used these means, several people tacitly did not elaborate.

The palace has its own tacit understanding.

Many things are not the turn of these princes and princesses to comment behind the scenes.

And these things also need Princess Ankang, the person involved, to solve them herself.

Their presumptuous intervention is disrespectful to Princess Ankang.

Princess Ankang did not delve into this issue, and chatted with several people casually, drinking tea and eating snacks.

At lunchtime, the eighth prince and others followed Princess Ankang to eat a royal meal. After eating and drinking, they dispersed and agreed to meet again in the future.

The three little ones digested their food while opening the gifts they had just received.

As expected, the fifth prince's gift was a thick collection of poems, which collected all the masterpieces of the predecessors.

The eighth prince and Princess Yuan'an each gave an exquisite toy.

The Seventh Princess's gift was the most interesting, a stargazing mirror.

Although the name contained the word "mirror", it was actually a smooth piece of jade.

According to the Seventh Princess, using this stargazing mirror to observe the stars at night, one can see the stars in the sky more clearly, as if the stars were put into this piece of jade, hence the name of the stargazing mirror.

Princess Ankang asked Li Xuan to collect these gifts and store them in the Emperor Hong bone ring for safekeeping.

Afterwards, Princess Ankang moved a reclining chair and basked in the sun in the yard, feeling very comfortable.

On the side, Yu'er was peeling apples for Princess Ankang.

Li Xuan was in Princess Ankang's arms, controlling the swing of the reclining chair for her.

At this time, Princess Ankang said:

"Ah Xuan, I seem to know what you wanted to say before."

Only then did Li Xuan remember that he had not yet written anything when he was interrupted by the visit of the Eighth Prince and others.

"Ah Xuan, what Shang Zongguan said before, are you telling me that Jingyang Palace is no longer a cold palace?"

"Otherwise, in the past, Bage and the others could not enter and leave Jingyang Palace at will, right?"

"It seems that they came to visit me as soon as possible to tell me about this matter."

Princess Ankang is very smart. Li Xuan knows that even without his reminder, she will figure it out quickly.

It is a good thing that Jingyang Palace has gotten rid of its status as a cold palace.

But Princess Ankang's mood is not as good as expected.

Li Xuan understands that Princess Ankang must be thinking how good it would be if this matter could come a few years earlier.

Li Xuan stood up from Princess Ankang's arms and put his head against Princess Ankang's face, asking her not to think too much.

Thinking too much about the past and the future cannot be changed.

People only live in the present moment, but always ignore this point and worry about things that cannot be changed and have not happened yet.

Princess Ankang has learned a lot recently, but she has also encountered many problems.

It is difficult to become smart, but when you become smart, you will think a lot, and the more you think, the more worries you will have.

Therefore, enlightenment after being smart is a difficult thing.

Do not welcome the future, do not mix the present, and do not think about the past.

It sounds simple, but it takes a lifetime of practice to achieve it.

Li Xuan also understands these principles a little bit, but he is still far from achieving them.

But he is willing to stay with Princess Ankang until she grows up slowly, and he also hopes that he can give her some guidance when he can.

Princess Ankang was silently comforted by Li Xuan, and she couldn't help but smile a little more.

"Yes, my mother is in heaven, and she will be very happy to see the changes in Jingyang Palace."

"Maybe all this is the blessing of my mother."

Princess Ankang laughed again.

But at this moment, the door of Jingyang Palace was knocked again.

The three little ones frowned together and asked in confusion:

"Who is it again?"
