Chapter 249: Souvenirs
Sending Li Xuan back to the gate of Jingyang Palace, Manager Shang instructed bitterly:
"Ah Xuan, you are not allowed to blow up your hair in front of Your Majesty in the future."
"Be a well-behaved cat."
Manager Shang touched Li Xuan's supple fur, but Li Xuan didn't eat this set at all, and drilled out of Manager Shang's palm with a short body, and turned around and gave Manager Shang a grimace.
"You kitten, you're a little naughty."
Mr. Shang shook his head helplessly.
Seeing that Li Xuan couldn't wait to jump onto the wall of Jingyang Palace, Manager Shang continued to say to him:
"I'll pick you up on the first day of junior high school, stay at home and wait for the next two days."
Manager Shang waved his hand and said goodbye to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan also meowed to Mr. Shang, and then jumped into the courtyard.
As soon as he jumped in, he heard a scream coming from a distance.
"Your Highness—"
"Ah Xuan is back!"
Yu'er, who was cleaning in the yard, shouted excitedly.
She had been cleaning not far from the door, and faintly heard a voice talking at the door.
Sure enough, the next moment the little black cat jumped into the yard.
I haven't seen him all day, Yu'er naturally thinks that Li Xuan is thinking about it tightly, so she left the broom in her hand and rushed over to pick him up.
Li Xuan obediently let Yu'er hold him, rubbing his cheek against himself.
"Hmph, you didn't even bother to lift your eyelids when I went home before, and you hated me like a dog."
"Now I know how important Ben Meow is."
Li Xuan's meow meowed continuously, and that look was not so proud.
At this moment, a figure also burst out of the house, sweeping like a whirlwind.
It is Princess Ankang who is now walking like a fly.
"Ah Xuan—"
Far away, Princess Ankang opened her arms and swooped over like a bird returning to the forest.
Princess Ankang suddenly hugged Yu'er in her arms, and the two girls rubbed their faces against Li Xuan in unison, confirming his body temperature.
"Woo-woo-"
"Why did you come back so late, I'm afraid that I will call someone else's female cat outside."
"Meow!"
When Li Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but protest loudly.
"Meow, meow? Meow, woo! (Forget it if you are picked up by a good-looking young lady, what does a female cat mean?) Don't underestimate cats, hey! )”
Even though Li Xuan protested loudly, Princess Ankang and Yu'er did not have the slightest dislike, and were still busy sticking to him.
Li Xuan protested a few times, and gradually narrowed his eyes comfortably.
Surrounded by two girls, sticking non-stop, it's still quite enjoyable.
What's more, when you go home, someone can greet you so warmly, who is not confused?
After a long while, Princess Ankang and Yu'er's attention was finally off Li Xuan.
"Ah Xuan, what is this?"
"It's delicious!"
Princess Ankang's eyes lit up, and she licked the things in her hands.
Yu'er on the side also nodded again and again, but kept making a "uh-huh" sound in agreement.
Seeing that the two girls were eating so happily, Li Xuan also became happy, licked the red fruits in front of him, and chewed them and swallowed them.
What Li Xuan brought to them was actually not a rare thing, but one person brought a string of rock sugar gourds.
After he completed his task at that time, he came out of Ping An Commercial Bank with Mr. Shang, and unexpectedly saw someone selling this thing on the road.
It happened to be difficult to leave the palace once, so Li Xuan thought about bringing some gifts back to Princess Ankang and Yu'er.
It just so happened that he couldn't find any suitable gifts in such a hurry, so Li Xuan asked the chief manager to help him buy three strings of sugar gourds, and then put them in a space in the Dihong Bone Ring that had not stored items.
Li Xuan's Emperor Bone Ring, except for those treasures obtained in the Yuqing Pool, there was almost nothing left.
Li Xuan is a cat, although he has the habit of carrying things with him.
It's just that it's different now, Li Xuan plans to find an opportunity to enrich the Dihong Bone Ring, so that he can deal with any situation in the future.
Just like buying sugar gourds this time, after all, it was the money that Manager Shang paid him, so Li Xuan only bought three.
Of course, he also knew that Mr. Shang was not short of this money, but he was always a little embarrassed.
If he had money at the time, he would probably have wrapped all the rock sugar gourds on the stack.
Anyway, the food stored in the Dihong Bone Ring, according to Emperor Yongyuan, will not deteriorate for decades.
"I'll have to get some money from Ankang later."
"I'm also a face-saving cat now, and I can't go out with empty pockets."
Li Xuan thought to himself, planning to withdraw a few taels of silver from Princess Ankang's small treasury.
He has a kitten, and the cost is not big.
What's more, although Jingyang Palace is now saying that it is not worrying about eating and drinking, it has no income.
The biggest entry last time was the fifty taels of silver sponsored by General Manager Shang, followed by some broken silver that Li Xuan stole from the hands of the two bad eunuchs of the Yanqu Palace.
Li Xuan thought that he didn't have many opportunities to spend money, and a few taels of silver on his body was enough.
If there is really a place to spend a lot of money, it is estimated that it will be outside the palace.
Because in this palace, the value of silver is actually very limited, far less real than power.
Especially their Jingyang Palace, now there is no need to spend money at all.
And outside the palace, Li Xuan naturally has many ways to make money, and he also knows where there is no psychological burden if he borrows money casually.
"Hey, now that I think about it, I still suffered an inexperienced loss."
"Wouldn't it be more fun for me to sleep last night and go out for a walk."
Li Xuan couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he thought about it now.
But he also understands that the opportunity to leave the palace will probably not be less in the future.
He deserves this zero meow so well, Emperor Yongyuan is reluctant to let such a powerful inner secret agent rest.
Li Xuan chewed the sweet and sour hawthorn fruit, watched Princess Ankang and Yu'er's pink and tender tongues dance, lingering on the rock sugar gourd.
Princess Ankang has never been out of the palace, and no one has brought her these foods, so it is the first time to see rock sugar gourds.
As for Yu'er, although she has heard of this thing, she has lived in a remote Pingshan village since she was a child, and her family is not wealthy, so naturally she has no chance to eat this thing, and it is the first time she has seen rock sugar gourds.
Anyway, the two girls were extremely satisfied with the gift Li Xuan bought.
The three little ones were eating rock sugar gourds while chatting about things outside the palace.
Li Xuan dipped his tail in water, and then wrote on the table, telling what he had seen and heard outside the palace.
He thought that in the future, he must prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the Dihong bone ring, otherwise he would always wet his tail, which was really uncomfortable.
Princess Ankang is like a curious baby, constantly asking about things outside the palace.
"Ah Xuan, is it fun outside the palace?"
"Ah Xuan, are there many people outside the palace?"
"What are so many people doing?"
"In addition to rock sugar gourds on the road, what else is delicious?"
“……”
Li Xuan took the trouble to answer these questions one by one.
Yu'er also listened intently on the side.
She was sold to the palace at the beginning, so she didn't stay in the capital for a long time, and she didn't have any impression of it.
She was sold all the way from her family to the palace as a palace maid, and the deepest memory is the roof of the carriage.
That's the most she's seen on the road.
The carriage was filled with a number of little girls about her age, and they were as if they were goods or livestock.
Some frail little girls would get sick on the way, and when they were seriously ill, they would be scolded and carried down by the people who drove the carriage, and no one would come back.
The carriage continued to drive, and along the way there were more and fewer little girls in the carriage, and the cycle repeated.
It wasn't until Yu'er was about to be sold to the capital and the palace that the carriage was more spacious and more comfortable.
For Yu'er, years have passed since that memory, and many of them have become blurry, but for some reason there are always a few images that are still vivid.
She listened quietly to Princess Ankang's question, looked at the words Li Xuan wrote on the table, but somehow remembered the girls who had been in the same carriage with her.
I don't know if they are still doing well, and whether they appear in the content that Li Xuan talked about.
Li Xuan was writing on the table, and his tail suddenly stopped moving.
Princess Ankang, who was looking at the handwriting on the table, found that the original handwriting was suddenly crooked, but saw Li Xuan fall asleep unconsciously, biting half of the hawthorn fruit in her mouth and chewing it halfway.
Princess Ankang looked at Li Xuan's sleeping appearance and couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker.
Yu'er on the side also grinned.
Li Xuan underestimated the fatigue of last night, and when he lurked in the Siyun Grain Shop, those tense and exciting emotions greatly consumed his mind.
So even after sleeping in the middle of the night, he was still a little tired.
Now that he has returned to Jingyang Palace, he is talking about the relaxing content with Princess Ankang and Yu'er, and his mind is also relaxed, making him unconsciously want to take a nap.
Princess Ankang gently stroked Li Xuan's hair, making him sleep more peacefully.
Yu'er went to the house and got the bamboo basket that Li Xuan liked, planning to let him sleep in it.
After all, there is a blanket in the bamboo basket, so it is warmer.
The two girls worked together to put Li Xuan in the bamboo basket, folded the blanket for him, and put it on the table.
It's sunny today, so you can still bask in the sun while sleeping here.
Princess Ankang went to get a book, sat next to Li Xuan, and read it leisurely.
Yu'er continued to complete the previous cleaning work, preparing to continue practicing when she was done.
The days were quiet and peaceful.
There doesn't seem to be any change from the previous days.
But Princess Ankang and Yu'er's shining eyes have long proved how much they yearn for the outside of the palace described by Li Xuan.
Except for each other, the three little ones don't have much to worry about in this palace.
Of course, Yu'er has a younger brother in the palace at this time.
But after all, they are all just teenagers, full of curiosity about the world.
Just a royal palace is too narrow for them.
Not to mention, they can only live in Jingyang Palace.
Although Princess Ankang and Yu'er didn't say it explicitly, they also looked forward to the opportunity for them to go out of the palace to play.
Princess Ankang looked at the book in her hand, but she couldn't even read a word, her brows were tightly locked, and her mind was full of questions.
"In addition to rock sugar gourd, is there anything else delicious outside the palace?"
