Seeing the little palace maid in Jingyang Palace hugging the bundle tightly and giggling like no one else was around, Manager Shang was almost amused.

"Okay, little girl. Let's continue the silly fun later. I think you are feeling better. Please go and let me know and see if it is convenient for Her Highness the Princess to see me."

"We haven't seen you for many years. I would like to pay my respects to Your Highness the Princess."

Hearing this, Yu'er suddenly showed a look of surprise.

No one has ever come to greet them in this cold palace where everyone is disgusted with them.

Ordinary people are afraid of hiding but cannot afford to hide.

But since Manager Shang took the initiative, Yu'er had no reason to refuse.

"Mr. Shang, please wait a moment. I will inform Her Royal Highness the Princess immediately."

Yu'er hugged the baggage, turned to the door, and closed the door easily this time.

Manager Shang waited patiently in front of the palace gate, looking at the sky in the distance with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

At this time, the eunuch in colorful clothes who was waiting at the side came forward and asked for instructions: "Father-in-law, do you want to send someone to monitor Jingyang Palace immediately?"

"Don't worry, wait until I meet Her Royal Highness the Thirteenth Princess." Manager Shang raised his hand with a cold expression.

If it was just to deliver the monthly deductions that had been withheld, there would be no need for Manager Shang to do it himself.

A few days ago, Manager Shang caught two young eunuchs stealing the royal meal.

These two young eunuchs came from Yanqu Palace. They were both dressed in yellow. They had no ability and no backers.

But after interrogation, Manager Shang found that the two eunuchs in yellow were not stupid, and were even no less thoughtful than others.

It was just like these two eunuchs in yellow who were so obsessed with their secrets that they not only had the audacity to steal the royal meal, but also continued doing so without anyone noticing for several months, but in the end they were caught in a clumsy way.

Maybe it was because it was too smooth, which caused their hearts to swell and made such low-level mistakes.

But Manager Shang has always been rigorous in his work, so he sent someone to Yanqu Hall to check everyone the next day, and got an interesting clue.

The two eunuchs in yellow had been in the palace for several years. Unfortunately, they were not lucky enough. None of the talented people they served had ever made a fortune, so they spent their time doing odd jobs in the Yanqu Palace.

Although there were some frictions with other people during this period, they were all harmless and were normal in this palace.

But on the day they were arrested, they were instructed by a talented person to pretend to be the Ministry of Internal Affairs and deduct the monthly regulations of Jingyang Palace.

Later, it was found out that the reason why the talented man did this was because he heard that the queen disliked Jingyang Palace, so he wanted to take the opportunity to suppress Jingyang Palace in order to please the queen.

In other words, after the two eunuchs in yellow from Yanqu Palace caused trouble in Jingyang Palace during the day, they were in bad luck at night.

Such a coincidence, Manager Shang naturally wanted to come and take a look for himself.

Just when Mr. Shang was thinking about this, he suddenly felt something. He immediately turned his head to look, and all he saw was a black shadow flashing past the courtyard wall.

"It seems like a tail?"

Manager Shang frowned, and just at this moment, the palace door of Jingyang Palace opened again, and Yu'er walked out.

"Mr. Shang, Your Highness the Princess invites you."

Manager Shang nodded, and then said behind him:

"You guys wait here."

Manager Shang followed Yu'er into Jingyang Palace. As soon as he entered, he saw Princess Ankang sunbathing in the yard.

"Old slave Shang Wenfu, please see your Royal Highness the Thirteenth Princess. Princess, stay safe."

Manager Shang paid homage directly without any hesitation.

Even when he was facing the sick princess who was locked up in the cold palace and had no power at all, he was still polite and respectful.

"Mr. Shang, there is no need to be polite, please get up quickly."

Princess Ankang was a little flustered after not being treated with such respect for a long time and said quickly.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Although he answered like this, Manager Shang still insisted on finishing the etiquette, and finally stood up again with the help of Yu'er who received Princess Ankang's signal.

After Manager Shang stood up, he looked at Princess Ankang sitting in the wheelchair and couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Has His Highness's body reached this point..."

Manager Shang sighed secretly and immediately lowered his eyelids to hide his expression.

"Our Jingyang Palace has not welcomed guests for a long time. I wonder what the important matter is for Mr. Shang to come today?" Princess Ankang asked.

Manager Shang glanced at Yu'er beside him and noticed a trace of nervousness flashing across her face. He immediately understood that Princess Ankang didn't know about the monthly deduction, and immediately replied with a smile:

"Her Royal Highness the Princess is really annoying this old slave. There is nothing important for this old slave now. They are all trivial matters. The old slave happened to be working nearby today and passed by Jingyang Palace. He thought that he had not paid greetings to Her Royal Highness for a long time. That’s why I shamelessly made a fuss.”

"Mr. Shang is so polite."

Then the two of them were polite and talked about some unnecessary gossip.

With Manager Shang around, the atmosphere is always harmonious.

Even if Princess Ankang has no impression of Manager Shang, the two of them can still have a pleasant chat.

After chatting for a while, Princess Ankang began to yawn uncontrollably, and Manager Shang also left immediately.

"Old slave, I won't disturb His Highness's rest. I'll come back to say hello to His Highness next time I have the opportunity."

"Okay, Mr. Shang, please excuse me."

Princess Ankang talked for a while and felt tired.

"Yu, Yu'er sends Mr. Shang out."

Princess Ankang almost called her sister out of habit, but she changed her tune in time when she realized that there was an outsider.

On weekdays, when they are the only ones around, you can call them whatever you like, but you must abide by the rules in front of outsiders, otherwise it is easy for others to talk about you.

Yu'er turned around and left with Manager Shang. Princess Ankang, who was about to sleep for a while, started to look for her warm baby.

"Axuan, Axuan..."

"Where did you go again?"

Manager Shang was not far away when he heard Princess Ankang's call from behind him. He couldn't help but curiously asked Yu'er beside him: "Who is your highness the princess calling?"

"this……"

Yu'er lowered her head and hesitated, subconsciously remembering the threats made by the two eunuchs a few days ago.

If it were known that there were cats in Jingyang Palace, would it really make the Ministry of Internal Affairs think that they still had enough food, so they would reduce their monthly routine.

Especially since the identity of Mr. Shang in front of him is unusual, his perception may directly affect the future of Jingyang Palace.

After hesitating for a while, Yu'er found that there was suddenly a palm-sized piece of silver in front of her eyes.

"Oh, Mr. Shang, what are you doing?"

"I can't do it, I can't do it..."

Manager Shang smiled slightly, turned his wrist, and the silver ingot was quietly put into Yu'er's sleeve.

Yu'er only felt her right arm sink, and there was an ingot of silver in her sleeve pocket.

This silent gift-giving skill of moisturizing things made Yu'er's eyes widen, her mouth slightly opened, and she was so surprised.

The silver ingot that was still in Manager Shang's hand just now disappeared in the blink of an eye as his palms moved together, and his sleeves became heavy, as magical as a magic trick.

She subconsciously checked the inner pocket of her sleeve, but there was only a silver ingot.

"I can't bear to see the lack of food and clothing in Jingyang Palace and how hard the life is."

"However, even I cannot change the monthly rules at will. I believe Miss Yu'er can understand. This is just a little bit of my feelings for Her Royal Highness the Thirteenth Princess. You must not refuse."

"Her Royal Highness the Princess has been weak since she was a child. If the conditions are so difficult, it will only make matters worse."

"This is for her own good!"

Manager Shang's words reached this point, and Yu'er couldn't continue to refuse, so she could only answer truthfully: "Axuan is the cat left by Concubine Xiao to His Highness. It is a very important existence to His Highness."

"Oh, I see."

Manager Shang suddenly understood, and then asked casually: "I wonder what this Ah Xuan looks like?"

"Axuan is less than one year old, so he's only that big." Yu'er gestured, and then added: "It's a solid black cat."

Manager Shang suddenly stopped, looked at Yu'er in surprise, and confirmed with a half-smile: "In other words, Ah Xuan is a clouded leopard?"
