Chapter 274 Partnering
"Your Highnesses."
"The competition starts tomorrow and lasts for seven days."
"After seven days, whether your highnesses solve the case or not, the game will end."
"The records during the investigation of the case will be submitted to His Majesty, who will judge this month's winner."
"I wish all of you, Your Highnesses, can successfully solve the case."
"Before leaving the palace, please send someone to report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so that I can make arrangements for leaving the palace."
"If you fail to report and leave the palace privately, you will be disqualified from this month's competition."
"Your Highnesses, please pay attention."
"As for the specific time of leaving the palace, please make your own decisions, Your Highnesses."
Zhao Feng bowed and said that the matters that should be conveyed today had been conveyed, and then slowly walked off the stage.
The people in the audience could not wait for a long time. At this time, when they saw that Zhao Feng had finally finished talking nonsense and dispersed noisily, they all planned to go back and prepare to leave the palace.
The three little ones were also very excited and planned to go back quickly to get ready and go out to play early tomorrow morning.
The Seventh Princess and her group standing beside them, as soon as they saw that they could leave, they hurriedly carried the stretcher and disappeared outside the imperial garden.
The three little ones were also really curious about this "sleeping princess" and politely observed them from the corner of their eyes.
After the group of them disappeared completely, the three little ones began to talk in low voices.
"Is that Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess?"
"I feel like he is a very individual person."
Yu'er lowered her voice and said in Princess Ankang's ear.
Princess Ankang shook her head. She didn't know much about this Seventh Emperor Sister, and it was even the first time she saw this person today.
But the way the stretcher came on stage was really impressive.
Coupled with the unique dark circles under the eyes, it is even more unforgettable.
Li Xuan was also a little curious. Could it be that the seventh princess was also a sick woman and couldn't sleep well every day?
The people in the Imperial Garden gradually dispersed and soon became sparse.
Not far away, Princess Yuan'an was still lingering in place, looking like she wanted to come but didn't dare to come.
However, the Eighth Prince walked over carelessly and showed the sign in his hand.
"Ankang, where did you smoke?"
The eighth prince asked casually.
Princess Ankang smiled slightly and showed the sign in her hand.
"Brother Eight Emperors, Ankang has drawn Wannian County."
"I'm afraid we won't be able to play together this time."
Princess Ankang's attitude towards the Eighth Prince is quite good.
After all, he is the one who least discriminates against him among his many brothers and sisters.
Or it should be said that the Eighth Prince is actually a maverick and anomaly just like Princess Ankang.
Don't you see that other people don't like the Eighth Prince very much?
Seeing the bruises on the eighth prince's face that had not completely disappeared, Li Xuan couldn't help but look away with a guilty conscience.
Speaking of which, the eighth prince's beating had something to do with Li Xuan.
The last time they opened the treasure box in the Yuqing Pond, most of the treasures in the treasure box went into Li Xuan's pocket, but the eighth prince took the last blame.
There was nothing that could be done about it. The three brothers and sisters of the eldest prince were together, and the three of them always communicated with each other, so there was no chance for them to take the blame.
Therefore, the only suitable person is the Eighth Prince.
On the Eighth Prince's side, the three brothers and sisters of the Eldest Prince went too far. In order to see what treasure he got, they deliberately planned not to tell him. In the end, the villain complained first and surrounded and beat him.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't defeat the three of them, the Eighth Prince wouldn't be so angry with him.
But if he knew that all the disasters he suffered were because of the little black cat in front of him, I'm afraid he would never let it go.
Therefore, this matter can only rot in Li Xuan's stomach.
"I'm sorry, old man."
Li Xuan looked at the distant mountains and said something silently in his heart.
The place the Eighth Prince was drawn this time was in Chang'an County, which was not the same place as them.
Seeing the sign in Princess Ankang's hand, the eighth prince couldn't help but have a disappointed expression on his face.
Although the imperial sister in front of him looked soft and weak, the eighth prince felt that Princess Ankang's personality was very suitable for him.
Having met several times before, I feel like we can play together.
It was a rare opportunity to leave the palace this time, and I wanted to make an appointment to play together, but the two of them were investigating the case in different places, so I'm afraid they didn't have much chance.
"Ankang, remember to investigate the case early."
"If you still have time after investigating the case, Bago will take you to some fun places."
When the eighth prince said this, Li Xuan also became interested.
"oh?"
"From what Lao Ba means, he seems to have some understanding of the situation outside the palace."
"Has this guy secretly left the palace before?"
Li Xuan's eyes moved quickly, looking up and down at the eighth prince.
"Yuanan, what are you doing there?"
"If you want to come over, come over by yourself. Do you still need Bago to invite you?"
The eighth prince turned his head in the direction of Princess Yuanan and said angrily.
"Who, who asked you to invite me?"
When Princess Yuan'an's name was suddenly called, she suddenly seemed a little guilty.
Although she said that, her feet moved slowly and honestly as she walked over.
But as she walked along, she took one tentative step and two steps, appearing cautious.
"What are you dawdling about?"
The eighth prince impatiently pulled her to him.
Their respective attendants tacitly pretended not to notice, standing quietly in the distance, looking down at the toes of their own shoes.
"Yuanan, do you have hemorrhoids?"
"How can you walk with such virtue?"
The eighth prince asked sincerely.
"You just have hemorrhoids!"
Princess Yuan'an's face suddenly turned red and she glared at the Eighth Prince angrily.
"Baby, if you don't know how to speak, just shut your mouth!"
"no one……"
Princess Yuan'an originally had half a sentence left, but when she saw Li Xuanzheng looking at her curiously, she couldn't help but hold back the remaining words.
Speaking of which, the fact that she is so close to Li Xuan now is all due to the Eighth Prince.
Princess Yuan'an was not a ungrateful person. Knowing that the Eighth Prince was deliberately trying to lighten the atmosphere, she calmly stopped talking.
When the Eighth Prince saw her like this, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Yuan An, weren't you afraid of nothing before?"
"Where has the original generosity gone?"
"What's wrong with my mother-in-law now? It's so boring."
Princess Yuan'an didn't say anything else this time, she just rolled her eyes at the eighth prince silently.
The Eighth Prince chuckled and continued to say:
"Did you hear what I just said?"
"The case was investigated earlier. If you can't find out anything, forget it. On the last day, I, the older brother, will take you to a nice place to play."
"Even if we have made an appointment, don't make any trouble then."
The eighth prince said to himself, then waved to them.
"Okay, you guys can chat slowly, I have to go back and make preparations."
The eighth prince left Princess Ankang and Princess Yuanan behind, and then left.
"Eh!"
Princess Yuan'an was stunned, stretched out her hand towards the Eighth Prince's back, opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
Needless to say, although Princess Yuanan didn't like the Eighth Prince very much, if the Eighth Prince were present, the atmosphere would be more lively and it wouldn't be as awkward as it is now.
The atmosphere between the three little ones and Princess Yuanan cooled down at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Instead, the two kittens meowed and greeted each other.
Bai Xiao is also a master who does not hold grudges.
It was clearly jealous before because of Princess Yuan'an's coveting of Li Xuan, but within a few days it had completely forgotten about it.
After a while of silence, Princess Ankang, who was still her elder sister, took the lead and said:
"Yuanan, where are you investigating the case?"
"Me, I'm also in Wannian County."
Princess Yuan'an took out her lottery ticket and showed it to Princess Ankang.
"Ten thousand years, Jia Liu."
Seeing Princess Yuan'an's signature, Princess Ankang hesitated and then said:
"That……"
"How about we leave the palace together tomorrow and have a companion on the way?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned except for Princess Ankang who spoke.
Li Xuan couldn't help but look up at Princess Ankang.
Turns out she wasn't joking.
Li Xuan's eyes immediately moved, and he somewhat understood Princess Ankang's thoughts.
Although Emperor Yongyuan made some arrangements for this trip, it is inevitable that no accidents will happen.
And if they act together with Princess Yuan'an, who is the Queen's legitimate daughter, their safety should be much guaranteed.
Princess Yuan'an's security power is definitely far beyond that of Princess Ankang.
This has nothing to do with Emperor Yongyuan's arrangements, but with the queen's power.
Li Xuan originally thought that the playful Princess Ankang had not noticed this problem, but he did not expect that before leaving the palace, she was already looking for her free bodyguard.
"Sister Ankang, is it really okay?"
Princess Yuan'an's face was full of surprise, as if she had not expected that Princess Ankang would make such a proposal.
"It doesn't matter to me, it depends on Yuan An what you want?"
Princess Ankang smiled slightly and left the final decision to Princess Yuanan herself.
"Yuanan is willing, Yuanan is naturally willing."
Princess Yuan'an happily agreed, as if she was afraid that Princess Ankang would regret it.
At this time, Zhao Feng appeared out of nowhere and walked to them.
"Aren't your two highnesses going back to prepare?"
"It turns out to be Mr. Zhao." Princess Yuanan was in a very good mood at this time. She greeted her happily, and then continued: "I made an appointment with Princess Ankang to leave the palace together tomorrow."
"oh?"
Zhao Feng couldn't help showing surprise and glanced at Princess Ankang and Princess Yuanan.
He never expected that the two princesses would get closer and closer.
But Zhao Feng didn't show it on his face and said with a smile:
“It’s naturally more fun to travel together.”
"I hope both Your Highnesses can have fun outside the palace."
"But you must also remember not to run around at will, and you must be accompanied by guards when playing."
Zhao Feng gave instructions and then made an appointment with them to pick them up tomorrow.
The matter of leaving the palace is arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so they don't need to worry about it themselves.
"Then Princess Ankang, let's see you tomorrow morning."
After deciding on the matter, Princess Yuanan happily waved goodbye and jumped away with Bai Xiao in her arms.
