"Yuanan, is there something wrong with this?"
Princess Ankang asked cautiously.
In her opinion, talking to the royal brothers and sisters like this would cause a lot of trouble.
Although she was grateful to Yuan An for standing up for her, she still couldn't help but worry about Yuan An.
If Princess Yuanan, who was implicated, was punished because of herself, Princess Ankang would also feel bad about it.
"Sister Ankang, it doesn't matter, don't take it to heart."
Princess Yuanan waved her hands domineeringly, not caring about these things at all.
She has a good mother, so among the brothers and sisters, it doesn't matter if she walks sideways.
And Princess Yuanan is not stupid. She knows very well when to show off and when to remain silent.
The noise behind the transparent door did not stop their carriage.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and after passing the shadow under the city gate, the view suddenly became clear.
Outside the imperial city, the scenery of the capital slowly unfolded in front of them, and even the previous unhappiness was forgotten by them.
Princess Ankang and others, who were leaving the palace for the first time, could not help but open their eyes wide and immersed in the strange scenery in front of them.
Li Xuan, who had already experienced it once, smiled slightly and watched their reactions silently.
"A bunch of little girls who have never seen the world, are they being fooled?"
"The scenery of the capital city has only shown you the tip of the iceberg."
Li Xuan knew very well that the area near the imperial city was not lively, and there was almost no flow of people.
The surrounding areas are either government offices or the residences of dignitaries. There are many more officials and imperial guards on the road than ordinary people.
It should be said that there are not many ordinary people living in the nearby cities.
Even the worst ones should be the servants and maids of wealthy families.
But Princess Ankang and the others didn't care. They only felt that everything outside the imperial city was very rare.
The curtains on both sides of the carriage were opened, and the two princesses looked outside like curious babies.
Yu'er stood behind Princess Ankang, found an angle that suited her, and looked at everything outside.
Pedestrians passing by, buildings along the road, red apricots peeking out of other people’s houses...
All of this made the three girls who had been living in the palace unable to take their eyes off it.
Even the cold streets around the imperial city made them feel much more lively than the palace.
Li Xuan also quite agreed with this point.
The main reason is that the rules outside are not so strict. People can raise their hands and feet more freely, and they are not so timid wherever they go.
Their carriage went south along the street to the corner of the imperial city wall, then turned east and headed straight ahead along a wide road.
And here is the front of the entire imperial city.
Three huge city gates are embedded in this huge city wall. They are Hanguang Gate, Zhuque Gate and Anshang Gate.
The group took a carriage and had a good visit to the main entrance of the imperial city where they had lived for many years.
Even when Li Xuan left the palace last time, he did not pass by this street. He only saw the huge outline of the imperial city from a distance, but never saw these three towering gates up close.
After driving along the broad road in front of the imperial city for about two quarters of an hour, the carriage carrying them arrived in front of a palace.
If you follow the direction of the avenue and look to the east, you can see the capital city wall that is a head higher than the imperial city, and there seems to be a huge city gate open under the city wall.
The eunuch who was driving stopped the carriage and whispered into the carriage:
"Your Highnesses, we are here."
After hearing this, everyone on the carriage was ready to get off.
Princess Ankang still sat firmly in her wheelchair.
The eunuch driving the car wanted to take out the slide, but Yu'er refused.
Yu'er's current strength is not bad, and she directly and easily placed Princess Ankang and the wheelchair from the carriage to the ground safely.
Princess Yuanan on the side couldn't help but take another look at Yu'er.
She didn't expect that Yu'er, who looked ordinary, was actually a warrior with some cultivation.
The carriage was surrounded by guards sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but they all changed from their colorful clothes into ordinary guard attire.
In addition, there are a number of Princess Yuan'an's attendants, but their clothes have not yet had time to change, and they are still the same as those in the palace.
These people will not all change their clothes. Princess Yuanan will not take everyone with her when she goes to the streets to investigate the case.
Most of them will stay in the palace in front of her to serve her daily life in the next few days.
And when they all got off the carriage, they saw the name of this palace.
【Xingqing Palace】
I heard that a vassal king lived here before, but later that vassal king became the emperor, so his original residence here was rebuilt into the current Xingqing Palace.
It was also expanded and occupied the entire Xingqingfang area, so the palace in front of them now existed.
According to the eunuch driving the car, they will stay here in the next few days.
Except for special circumstances, you must return here to rest after investigating a case.
If you want to live outside, you need to apply for a special application, and the application steps are extremely complicated. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is also roundabout and does not recommend that they do this.
The princes and princesses who are investigating the case in Wannian County will live in Xingqing Palace. As for those who are investigating the case in Chang'an County, they don't know where they will live.
Their group was the first to arrive, so Xingqing Palace was still relatively deserted at this time.
They followed the eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs into it and quickly settled down.
Although the room assigned to Princess Ankang was not as big as the one they originally had in Jingyang Palace, the furnishings inside were indeed much more exquisite. They had everything they needed, and the quality was not bad.
"Your Highness, the conditions here are pretty good."
Yu'er checked the room and then said to Princess Ankang.
"Well, it's more than enough room for the three of us."
Princess Ankang sat on the bed and felt soft under her buttocks, which was no worse than the bed at home.
Since they got a lot of supplies, Yu'er replaced Princess Ankang with a better mattress and bedding, hoping that she could sleep better every night.
Princess Ankang looked at the quality of the bed in the room and felt very satisfied. She thought that at least she would not have the reaction to choose a bed in the next few days.
"Your Highness, what should we do next?"
After packing the luggage she brought, Yu'er asked while pouring a cup of tea for Princess Ankang.
Princess Ankang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked thoughtful.
"Well..."
"First, we have to change these clothes."
Princess Ankang pointed at herself and Yu'er.
The clothes they were wearing made it look like they were coming out of the palace, which was very inconvenient for their next actions.
"All the changes of clothes are ready."
Yu'er said, taking out a few relatively ordinary clothes from the luggage they brought.
It sounds ordinary, but it is definitely of silk and satin quality, and is definitely not something ordinary people can afford.
These clothes were prepared for them by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Otherwise, it would not be easy for them to get a few such clothes in the palace.
The clothes in the palace are all set according to status and class.
If you want to make ordinary clothes like the ones in their hands, you can only make them yourself.
Yu'er did have that skill, but she was in such a hurry that she didn't have time to prepare herself.
Fortunately, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has done a thorough job and prepared such clothes for every prince and princess who applied to leave the palace, so that they can go deep into the people and investigate the case.
Princess Ankang and Yu'er each chose a suitable outfit, closed the door, and changed their clothes.
The next moment, an official's daughter and her accompanying maid appeared in front of Li Xuan.
Li Xuan couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he saw it.
On weekdays, I was always used to seeing how the two girls dressed up. Now that they had changed their clothes, their whole temperament became different.
Li Xuan meowed twice happily, then he looked at the remaining clothes and pointed with his paw.
"What's wrong, A-Xuan?"
"Don't my and sister Yu'er's clothes look good?"
Princess Ankang frowned and asked with her lips clasped on her hips.
Whenever Li Xuan dared to nod, she planned to serve him with pink fists.
Li Xuan immediately meowed twice, nuzzling Princess Ankang and Yu'er, saying that he definitely had no such intention.
He swept Princess Ankang's slap with his tail, explaining that he thought their new clothes were so beautiful, and wanted to see the effect of other upper garments.
Knowing what Li Xuan meant, Princess Ankang and Yu'er had happy smiles on their faces.
"Oh, Xuan, you are so serious."
"You little kitten really tell the truth, there is nothing you can do about it."
Princess Ankang and Yu'er were satisfied with Li Xuan's hands, and then reluctantly agreed to Li Xuan's request.
Then, Princess Ankang and Yu'er changed the clothes in front of Li Xuan and showed her well.
Li Xuan clapped his hands, enjoying the warm pleasure of this miracle in front of him.
"It seems that there are still too few clothes at home. I have to ask the emperor to give more beautiful clothes to the two little girls at home."
In Li Xuan's eyes, Princess Ankang and Yu'er look good in whatever they wear.
From the beginning to the end, I couldn't close my mouth, not to mention how happy I was.
"Hey, Ankang and Yu'er are so beautiful."
Li Xuan nodded happily, feeling proud.
After Princess Ankang and Yu'er played dress-up games with Li Xuan for a while, they planned to go out.
It is rare to leave the palace once, so this time cannot be wasted casually.
As soon as they went out, they saw Princess Yuanan, who had also changed her clothes, waiting outside.
But unlike Princess Ankang and the others, Princess Yuanan actually chose men's clothing.
At first glance, he looked like a handsome young man with fair skin and good looks.
But if you look more closely, you can still see a lot of clues.
This woman pretending to be a man is just deceiving herself.
Walking onto the street, I'm afraid someone will see through it soon.
Princess Yuanan, who had changed her clothes long ago, finally waited for Princess Ankang and the others.
She stood up immediately and asked excitedly:
"Sister Ankang, would you like to go to the county government office together?"
But this time, Princess Ankang silently shook her head and expressed her refusal.
The smile on Princess Yuan'an's face faltered, and she seemed a little overwhelmed.
