Chapter 86 So Free?
Li Xuan did not dare to follow too closely, and only dared to observe Shang Zongguan from a distance.
Shang Zongguan and the flowery eunuchs around him were all masters. If they were noticed, it would be difficult to get away.
Therefore, Li Xuan controlled the distance and used the innocent appearance of the kitten to confuse them, so as to achieve his purpose of following.
At least, so far, he was relatively successful.
Except that he could not hear Shang Zongguan's voice, his every move was under Li Xuan's eyes.
After Shang Zongguan left Jingyang Palace, he seemed to wander around the harem casually.
From time to time, there would be flowery eunuchs hurried to his side and report something.
Shang Zongguan would give a few instructions casually every time and then send them away.
Near noon, Shang Zongguan took people back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to rest.
After eating and drinking, he took people to count a batch of supplies in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and put them into storage after checking.
Then he drank tea, took a walk and basked in the sun, looking like he was waiting to get off work.
Li Xuan looked up at the broad daylight in a daze, and said with envy and jealousy: "Is this the godly life of a retired boss?"
"He is so idle that he is farting!"
There is joy in leisure, and the world is wide and broad!
"This eunuch really makes him understand."
Li Xuan sighed in his heart and couldn't help but admire him.
There are so many eunuchs and palace maids in this palace, but the only one who can be treated like this when he is old is probably Shang Zongguan.
Just looking at these situations, Li Xuan can't be sure whether Shang Zongguan really has no other intentions.
It's not that he doesn't believe that there are still good people in this palace.
But after seeing the complicated human calculations, he can't help but be more cautious.
Although there are only two or three kittens in their Jingyang Palace, others can't see what value they have to be calculated.
But Li Xuan has to be careful.
Who knows what secrets there are in this palace that he doesn't know.
Until the night, Shang Zongguan still looked so idle.
It seemed that there was nothing else worth his attention today except dealing with the incident of wounding in the alley.
Li Xuan also found that it was not that there was nothing for Shang Zongguan to deal with, but after he received the report, he quickly gave a solution and handed it over to the eunuchs in flowery clothes under him to deal with.
Even if Shang Zongguan had nothing to do in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he rarely dealt with these things personally.
It seems that Yu'er's luck is really good.
If Shang Zongguan had handed the matter of the alley to his eunuchs in flowery clothes, I'm afraid the result would be different.
Li Xuan watched here all day and didn't have time to eat lunch and dinner. His stomach couldn't help but growl.
After dinner, Shang Zongguan took out a scroll of chess and a chessboard and started to play in his yard.
Shang Zongguan naturally wouldn't be at the same level as the three little ones in Jingyang Palace. What kind of five-star connection is playing? They play serious Go.
Although Li Xuan was far away, he saw that Shang Zongguan had filled up the chessboard in a short time.
If he was playing Gobang, he would fill up the chessboard so much, and even use chess records to study.
Then this Shang Zongguan...
is also quite studious!
Shang Zongguan has a separate secluded courtyard in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It doesn't look big, but the furnishings inside are very exquisite, and there is no extravagance at all, but a sense of simplicity.
It's the kind of feeling of being poor and exquisite.
"The boss is the boss, and his aesthetics are so different."
Li Xuan nodded, and could only explain it this way.
He yawned a little bored, and felt that Shang Zongguan really didn't seem to be unusual.
This person looks no different from an ordinary retired old man.
If there is anything special, it is probably that he is more idle than an ordinary retired old man.
"The old man should go to bed early. I will go back to eat after he goes to bed."
Li Xuan stretched himself to refresh himself.
He didn't feel so bored when he was watching in Yanqu Hall.
"It seems that my energy has declined in recent days. I have to make up for it when I go back."
Just when he was about to fall asleep due to boredom, someone suddenly came to visit Shang Zongguan.
There were quite a few people coming, and the lanterns they carried were connected into a line.
But these lanterns stayed outside the courtyard, and only one figure walked into the courtyard.
Seeing the person clearly from a distance, Li Xuan couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and he was no longer sleepy, and he immediately perked up.
"Zhao Feng!"
Li Xuan was in a high place at this time, and immediately glanced down to explore the surrounding alerts.
He planned to get closer and listen to their conversation.
How could he not be curious about the content of the conversation between eunuchs like them?
The guards down there are indeed tight, but it's already night, and considering my kitten's appearance, maybe I can give it a try.
Seeing Zhao Feng approaching Shang Zongguan in the courtyard and bowing, Li Xuan could no longer hold back and jumped down to rush towards the courtyard.
Along the way, Li Xuan specifically looked for bushes and branches, and successfully approached the courtyard with the cover of these things.
During this period, the flower-clothed eunuchs were not completely alarmed, but they just glanced at Li Xuan and retracted their gaze.
Fortunately, none of them were too serious, otherwise, even if he was a cat, he would probably be expelled.
And this is the Ministry of Internal Affairs after all, and it can be clearly felt that the degree of vigilance of the flower-clothed eunuchs is far less strict than that in Yanqu Hall.
At that time, they guarded almost every door and window, and talked in the house, leaving Li Xuan helpless.
But tonight they did not do this. After all, Shang Zongguan's courtyard was open-air, and they would not build a roof.
Li Xuan touched Shang Zongguan's courtyard without any danger.
After he came in, he found that there was no guard in the yard, and there were only Shang Zongguan and Zhao Feng.
At this time, Shang Zongguan had stood up with the chess book, and Zhao Feng followed behind him, holding the chessboard upright, without messing up the chess pieces on it.
The two returned to the house, closed the door, and talked at night with candlelight.
Li Xuan could only see their shadows sticking to the table and chairs outside, sitting opposite each other.
Li Xuan did not give up, and crawled on the ground quietly, with his ears erected, facing the direction of the shadows.
At this time, his racial advantage was revealed.
Ordinary people, even the top masters, probably don’t have such outrageous hearing as Li Xuan.
He could vaguely hear the conversation inside even though he was still far away from the room.
Li Xuan didn’t dare to be greedy, so he stopped here directly, pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"It's enough to be able to hear it. It's not like listening to music. Why do you need such high sound quality?"
He made up his mind and didn't crawl forward even half a step. He closed his eyes and listened carefully to their conversation.
"Didn't I say it? Don't come to me if you have nothing to do."
The voice of Shang Zongguan came, but it was full of disdain.
"I'm here to pay my respects to my godfather."
The voice of Zhao Feng Pei's smile continued.
Li Xuan, who was eavesdropping outside, raised his eyebrows silently and thought to himself: "These two people are actually father and son."
He had heard some things about Shang Zongguan before.
Shang Zongguan was the previous general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was deeply trusted by the emperor. This is why others always respectfully call him "General Manager".
And he can still be called this way after he resigned from his position, without any taboo. It can be seen that these two people are not just father and son on the surface.
From the appearance, he and Zhao Feng are almost the same age. It seems that Shang Zongguan is well maintained.
Zhao Feng, on the other hand, didn't seem to have learned his godfather's maintenance skills.
"Still talking to me about this useless thing."
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Thanks to "Duming Chailang" for his reward support.
Thanks to "Fengyunqiluo", "Sleeping Conch", "Men All Over the World Rise Up", and "Empty Format Contempt" for their monthly ticket support.
What else could it be?
Sleep!
