The appointed day soon arrived.
Early in the morning, Manager Shang and Zhao Feng arrived hand in hand.
Zhao Feng is here to teach Yu'er martial arts, while Manager Shang is preparing to take Li Xuan out of the palace.
Li Xuan had already told Princess Ankang and Yu'er in advance about leaving the palace.
But he didn't tell them the specific details, he just said that he was going to do a favor for Mr. Shang.
Although Princess Ankang and Yu'er were a little uneasy about Li Xuan leaving the palace, they were relieved to have Manager Shang with them.
It was just the first time they were separated at such a long distance, which always made the two girls worried about Li Xuan.
"Axuan, when you leave the palace, you must stay with Manager Shang and don't run around naughtily."
"If you get lost and can't come back..."
Princess Ankang started crying as she spoke.
"Then what can I do!"
"Uuuuuu——"
Manager Shang, after all his calculations, 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 wouldn't worry too much if she couldn't see him.
But this time it was different. Li Xuan wanted to follow Mr. Shang out of the palace. If he lost it outside the palace, it would be the end.
Last night alone, Princess Ankang had nightmares several times, all about Li Xuan's loss.
When she woke up this morning, one side of her pillow was soaked.
"Your Highness, you can rest assured."
"As long as the old slave is here, there must be A Xuan."
Manager Shang quickly made his own guarantee.
He never expected that Princess Ankang would be so dependent on Li Xuan.
At the moment, Li Xuan was just leaving the palace. If something bad happened to Li Xuan, Princess Ankang would cry to death on the spot.
Yu'er on the side also had red eyes, obviously very worried.
"Axuan, you must be obedient and follow Manager Shang closely, you know?"
The two girls caressed Li Xuan reluctantly, cherishing him as if they were touching him for the last time.
"That's it."
Although Li Xuan felt a little speechless at their excessive worries, he felt warm in his heart.
When you know that you have such an important position in the minds of others, I'm afraid everyone will do this.
Li Xuan stepped forward and kissed and hugged the two girls. After a while of comfort, they felt better.
In the end, Princess Ankang and Yu'er arrived at the gate of Jingyang Palace and almost went with him.
After being inseparable for a while, Li Xuancai finally followed Mr. Shang out of the palace.
Just seeing the two girls left at home, Li Xuan felt very uncomfortable.
"Alas, is this how parents who work outside the home feel?"
Seeing that Li Xuan was also in a low mood, Manager Shang just shook his head slightly, but didn't say much.
The close relationship between the three little guys can only be said to be enviable to others in this palace.
In this palace, even if there is a blood relationship, the relationship may not be any better.
Li Xuan is truly lucky to have Princess Ankang and Yu'er doting on him.
Of course, the same goes for Princess Ankang and Yu'er.
Manager Shang first took Li Xuan back to the House of Internal Affairs, where there were several empty carriages ready.
Today, Manager Shang is nominally going out to the palace to do some shopping.
This job is the most appropriate reason for the eunuch in the palace to leave the palace.
Whether it is Manager Shang or Zhao Feng, when they need to leave the palace on weekdays, they always do so in the name of purchasing.
After all, shopping can be done every day.
Li Xuan was hidden on the carriage and covered with a thick tarpaulin.
He looked at the scenery along the way through the gap.
There is an imperial city gate in the West Palace, leading directly to the outside of the palace.
After Chief Shang led the convoy straight out of the palace, he entered the capital city.
Li Xuan couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the unfamiliar sight. Everything he saw was strange.
The avenue outside the imperial city is very quiet, with few pedestrians passing by, but there are imperial guards patrolling back and forth from time to time.
Looking further into the distance, there were many ancient buildings, and Li Xuan's ears could already capture the hustle and bustle of people, cars and horses on the streets, as well as the bustling lights and feasting.
It's still morning, but the capital seems to be very lively already.
After leaving the imperial city, the motorcade headed south along the wide streets.
The Imperial City is located in the northernmost part of the capital, surrounded by areas where high-ranking officials and nobles live.
Because nearby, 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 spacious the place where he usually lived was.
The majestic imperial city is almost level with the sky, and there are imperial guards wearing golden armor standing on every post, majestic.
After walking for more than half an hour, the convoy walked out of the streets adjacent to the imperial city, with various markets in front of it.
The capital city of Daxing is divided into many cities, each with its own functions. Some cities can only be lived in, some can only be traded, and most of them are mixed, which can be used for both living and trading.
At the beginning, the distinction between the city and the city was relatively strict. Those who lived in the city were called "fang" and those who traded in the city were called "city".
However, as Daxing's economic activities became more and more vigorous, the consumer demand of Beijing residents gradually fell short of supply.
Therefore, the strict requirements for distinguishing between districts and cities were gradually relaxed, and it gradually turned into the mixed form it is today.
Li Xuan found that the farther away from the imperial city, the more lively the market became.
After walking south for a long time, Manager Shang led the convoy to a very large trading house.
【Ping An Commercial Bank】
When the convoy led by Manager Shang arrived, they were immediately greeted respectfully and drove the carriage to the backyard.
The eunuchs who followed were also properly entertained.
Although these eunuchs are all humble and submissive in the palace, when they leave the palace, they are all uncles.
The manager of the commercial bank came to Mr. Shang and greeted him respectfully. Mr. Shang just whispered a few words and sent him away.
Naturally, other people will be responsible for handling purchasing matters.
Chief Monk Li Xuan has other tasks.
Manager Shang hugged Li Xuan and walked into the trading company, arriving at a prepared room without any obstruction.
"Axuan, this Ping An Trading Company is responsible for all supplies in the palace. It is a trading firm that has a very close relationship with His Majesty."
Manager Shang introduced.
Li Xuan also understood after hearing this.
"I'm afraid it's the property of Emperor Yongyuan."
Although Emperor Yongyuan is the emperor, he still needs money.
He cannot withdraw the money in the treasury at will, so he also needs his own small treasury.
Li Xuan had heard before that emperors had their own ways of making money, but he didn't expect that Emperor Yongyuan was not lagging behind.
But running a business is considered reliable.
He is hundreds of times stronger than those foolish kings who sell their official positions.
Manager Shang seemed familiar with this room. He walked to the closet and began to change clothes.
There were many disguise props in the wardrobe. In a short time, Manager Shang changed his appearance and body shape, turning into a fat-bellied and bearded wealthy businessman.
"Axuan, what do you think of my outfit?"
Manager Shang proudly showed off his disguise skills.
Needless to say, Manager Shang is really powerful.
From the thin old man before, he immediately turned into a middle-aged wealthy businessman.
It's just that the wrinkles on his face are a little obvious. Even if they are covered up, they still look a little conspicuous.
Manager Shang looked in the mirror and felt a little dissatisfied.
"Well, I'm getting old after all, and it's a bit reluctant to dress up as middle-aged."
Manager Shang's tone was inevitably a little disappointed.
At this time, Li Xuan remembered something, flicked his tail, and poured out several human skin masks from the Emperor Hong Bone Ring.
Manager Shang couldn't help being surprised when he saw this rare thing.
But he immediately thought of the channel through which Li Xuan obtained this thing.
"Axuan, this is what you got in the Yuqing Pond."
Manager Shang said with a smile.
As the saying goes, if the Tao is one foot high, the devil is one foot high.
It seems that Emperor Yongyuan has made adequate preparations for Li Xuan.
Manager Shang was not polite, after all, Li Xuan couldn't use this thing.
He picked a suitable one from among them and placed it on his face carefully.
This human skin mask is not just glued on the face, but there are various details that need to be dealt with.
Li Xuan didn't know this knowledge, he just watched Manager Shang's operation curiously, thinking it was learning.
Manager Shang's craftsmanship is not bad, and he quickly put the human skin mask on.
Now, the image of a wealthy businessman with smooth and greasy skin, a fat face and a round belly came to life.
Especially the details on that face are impeccably done.
I don’t know how this human skin mask was able to imitate that kind of skin condition that is white, fat, and slightly oily.
Seeing the greatly changed Manager Shang in front of him, Li Xuan couldn't help but meow in surprise.
If it weren't for the fact that the smell was still the same as that of Mr. Shang, Li Xuan wouldn't dare to recognize the person in front of him.
"Haha, how is Ah Xuan now?"
Manager Shang's voice has also changed accordingly. If only based on appearance, this disguise is simply perfect.
Li Xuan also didn't expect that those ordinary-looking human skin masks would have such a good effect.
"Axuan, just put the rest away first."
"This is a useful treasure when traveling around the world. Remember to let Princess Ankang and Yu'er read relevant books in the future. Otherwise, it would be a pity to just leave it unused."
It was rare to see Manager Shang speak so highly of him, and Li Xuan secretly kept this in mind.
"Okay, Xuan."
"Let's set off right now and check out some places first."
Manager Shang picked up Li Xuan as he spoke, but before setting off, he looked at Li Xuan over and over again, and then said:
"Axuan, this is a rare opportunity. Why don't you come and pretend to be a good person?"
Li Xuan tilted his head. He had never heard of cats disguised.
But then he nodded and agreed.
Because when he looked forward to seeing Mr. Shang in disguise, he thought it was quite fun, so he wanted to try it himself.
Manager Shang didn't hesitate, picked up Li Xuan and started busy.
Not long after, a new cow cat appeared.
The Emperor's Bone Ring on Li Xuan's tail was also covered up in white, making it look less conspicuous.
"Meow? (Am I a cow?)"
