"It's so cold, rolling around on the ground, what if you catch a cold?"

"Your Highness, I'll untie you."

Shang Zongguan said, and quickly untied the tangled ribbons for them.

After untying them, the three little ones did not separate immediately. Li Xuan jumped directly onto Princess Ankang's shoulder, and then pointed his head to drill into her collar.

Li Xuan's soft fur made Princess Ankang beg for mercy, forgetting her previous temper.

Yu'er quickly helped Princess Ankang up, and didn't forget to pat Li Xuan's butt.

"Ah Xuan, Shang Zongguan is here, stop making trouble!"

Unexpectedly, Li Xuan was slapped in the butt. Princess Ankang's neck was no longer itchy, but her clothes became bulging.

Li Xuan fumbled inside for a while, and finally found the direction, and his little head drilled out from Princess Ankang's collar.

Princess Ankang also immediately held Li Xuan with her hands to prevent him from sliding down.

Yu'er, who was standing by, looked at the funny look of the man and the cat, and just held her forehead with a headache.

Manager Shang was not surprised, and just laughed.

"Your Highness is getting more and more energetic now."

Manager Shang was very pleased to see the more lively Princess Ankang.

"Didn't you just see meow in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"Why are you looking for me again?"

Li Xuan poked his head out of Princess Ankang's collar and asked Manager Shang.

And in a short while, Manager Shang even changed his clothes.

Today's clothes are brighter than the usual flowery clothes.

"Of course, I have something to see Your Highness."

"I knocked on the door for a long time just now, but no one came to open it. I thought something happened."

After that, Manager Shang flashed and disappeared in front of them.

And the next moment, there was another knock on the door.

Manager Shang was still very disciplined, and he must follow the procedures.

If he had not been in a hurry to come in to check the situation, he would not have casually entered Jingyang Palace.

This time, Yu'er hurried to open the door for Shang Zongguan.

After opening the door, he found that Shang Zongguan did not come alone, and there were many flowery eunuchs following him.

The flowery eunuchs each held a wooden box in their hands, and no one knew what was in it.

After being received by Princess Ankang, Shang Zongguan led them into Jingyang Palace and introduced:

"Your Highness, the dresses of your highnesses are ready for the New Year's Eve dinner in two days."

"Today, this old servant is here to deliver the dress to your highness."

Shang Zongguan said, taking a wooden box from the flowery eunuch beside him and opening it, revealing the bright red palace skirt inside.

The palace skirt is extremely exquisite, with snowflake pattern decorations and white and blue embellishments, but it is mainly festive red.

The palace skirt is quietly placed in the wooden box. Although it has not been unfolded, these details alone are enough to show the fine workmanship of this dress.

What Shang Zongguan brought was not only Princess Ankang's dress, but also Li Xuan and Yu'er's.

The two girls looked at the mini dresses and couldn't help laughing.

Li Xuan was frowning.

I don't know when Daxing started to dress small animals, but Li Xuan rejected it.

He already had a dark and soft fur, so why would he wear clothes?

And how could wearing clothes be as comfortable as running naked?

Li Xuan and Yu'er's dresses were also mainly red, but they were simpler than Princess Ankang's palace skirt.

Princess Ankang and Yu'er wanted to let Li Xuan try them on, but his head shook like a rattle, and he shrank his head and hid in Princess Ankang's clothes.

"Oh, Xuan is shy!"

The two girls joked even more excitedly.

No matter what they said, Li Xuan rolled up into a ball and lay down in a comfortable position.

You know what, now that Princess Ankang is getting healthier, her body temperature is no longer as cold as before, but warmer.

Anyway, Li Xuan started to feel sleepy soon after he came in.

"Aha~"

Li Xuan yawned loudly and stopped caring about the conversation between the two maids and the chief monk.

"Is it just two days before the New Year?"

"It's so fast."

...

Zheng Wangfu.

"Your Majesty, the palace has sent the invitation to this year's New Year's Eve dinner."

Hongyu handed the gold-plated dragon-patterned invitation to Zheng Wang, who just glanced at it and put it aside.

Hongyu didn't say much and quietly stepped aside.

At this time, Zheng Wang still had business to deal with.

"Haven't they reported their itinerary yet?" Zheng Wang asked coldly.

Wu Cheng, who was kneeling below, felt that his forehead was soaked with cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, I have sent secret guards to search along the way. Apart from that one trace of battle, no other traces were found."

"The secret guard who accompanied Master Huo is dead or alive..."

Wu Cheng wanted to say something else, but he held back.

He had some subjective speculations, but now was not the time to say them. He had previously speculated that Zhu Wufeng had rebelled, which had already made King Zheng furious.

But this time, the Western Region Fire Demon went to confirm the bamboo attribute true qi left at the scene, and even the secret guards disappeared.

"Preliminary judgment shows that there were several upper third-grade masters fighting at the scene, but there was no sign of the five elements reincarnation."

"Old Huo should have escaped, but the secret guards are unlikely to survive, so it is understandable that Old Huo did not know about the regular communication."

"But Old Huo did not return to the capital, nor did he go to any stronghold for help. This seems to be very strange..."

Wu Cheng reported tremblingly. He didn't know if he had offended Tai Sui recently, but it turned out to be some big trouble.

The two worshippers in Zheng Wangfu disappeared one after another, and their secret guards could not find anything. Even Wu Cheng himself was too embarrassed to report.

"Wu Cheng!"

Zheng Wang suddenly shouted angrily and smashed the table beside him.

"The secret guards are not here to tell me that this matter is strange, but to find out the strange things for me!"

"You have been comfortable for so many years, have you forgotten what you do?"

Hongyu on the side couldn't help but tremble. He had never seen Zheng Wang lose his temper so much.

"I dare not, I dare not!"

Wu Cheng kowtowed repeatedly and kept asking for forgiveness.

"Get out!"

"If you can't find the trace of Huo Lao within three days, you will be beheaded!!!"

Wu Cheng knelt down and left the room in fear.

After reaching the door, he immediately stood up and ran.

Wu Cheng knew that the prince was not joking. If he couldn't find any clues in three days, his head would really have to move.

"Waste, a bunch of waste!"

Prince Zheng threw everything he could get out of the house, venting his anger.     It's okay to lose Zhu Wufeng, but now there is Ignis.

The worshippers in Prince Zheng's mansion disappeared one after another, but he, the person involved, knew nothing. This feeling of uneasiness made Prince Zheng really uneasy.

Ignis is a second-grade strength, one of the top strong men in the world.

Such a person can disappear silently, so who is targeting him?

He can guess that Emperor Yongyuan must be behind this. After all, he is unlucky, and there is no one happier than Emperor Yongyuan in the world.

But the old guys in the palace absolutely dared not move, and King Zheng knew their movements clearly.

As long as they dared to reveal their flaws, King Zheng would dare to change the sky of Daxing.

"Who is it? Who is it?"

King Zheng's doubts became heavier and heavier.

Since this year, things have become more and more unsuccessful. Things that were originally firmly controlled in the palm of his hand began to be out of control, and fog gradually appeared in front of his eyes, making him slowly unable to see clearly.

"Since Liang Zhao was expelled from the capital at the beginning of the year, the court and the palace have become more and more out of control..."

"Can't wait any longer!"

Recalling what happened this year, King Zheng felt a full sense of crisis.

He didn't know why the good situation suddenly began to show signs of collapse, but he knew that he couldn't wait passively like this.

The general situation has changed, and this change is what King Zheng doesn't want to see.

...

Wuning Palace.

Queen Wu leaned lazily on the couch, reading a letter carefully.

The handwriting on the letter was beautiful and written in a rigid manner, just like it was printed.

Empress Wu slowly read the last signature, then sighed:

"Alas, Yan Zhao is coming back."

Beside Empress Wu, there was an old nanny standing by, silently taking the letter that Empress Wu had just read, and then sorting it out.

"Just looking at the distance, she probably won't be able to make it in time for the New Year's Eve dinner, but she can still arrive on the first day of the new year."

"I don't know how many people will be in chaos when she comes back."

The old nanny smiled kindly and said, "Your Highness, the princess has been studying abroad for many years and has not returned. How can you say that about her."

"If you don't know, you would think that you don't miss the princess."

Empress Wu snorted and said casually, "Humph, my precious princess has so many people who miss her, I'm afraid she doesn't need one more."

Then, Empress Wu sighed, "Well, it's good to come back."

...

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Xuan did not go out again these two days, but stayed in Jingyang Palace honestly, accompanying Princess Ankang.

He occasionally took some time to instruct Yu'er on her cultivation, and then went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to check on Sharon's situation.

Sharon's recovery was much smoother than Li Xuan expected.

Her vitality would be significantly restored as long as she absorbed the fire energy stored by Li Xuan.

Now, Sharon can even practice on her own and increase her internal Qi.

However, in terms of vitality, she still needs the help of Li Xuan's Yin and Yang Qi to recover.

After all, Sharon was almost exhausted before, and it is a miracle that she can come back to life now.

Tonight is the New Year's Eve dinner, and all places in the palace have been decorated with lights and colors, and preparations for the New Year have been made.

The New Year's Eve dinner in the palace lasts from the night of the 30th of the twelfth lunar month to the early morning of the New Year, and it lasts a whole night.

In addition to the banquet, there are various singing and dancing performances and New Year's Eve activities throughout the night, which is the most grand festival in Daxing.

Compared with the previous Chongyang banquet, there will be a New Year's greeting from Emperor Yongyuan on the morning of the first day of the new year, as well as a New Year's worship by the royal descendants and civil and military officials.

From tonight to tomorrow morning, there are many procedures to go through one after another, but it will take a while to be busy.

These things are also handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it is fortunate that Zhao Feng can be busy during this period.

The three little ones started preparing early in the day and changed into the dresses that Shang Zongguan had sent before.

Li Xuan reluctantly put on his dress at the request of the two girls.

"Ah Xuan is so cute~"

The two girls saw Li Xuan wearing a festive red dress and rubbed against him and touched him endlessly.

Li Xuan enjoyed the touch of the two girls, and his impatience with wearing clothes was also reduced a little.

While they were playing, there was a knock on the door outside Jingyang Palace.

Yu'er went to answer the door and found that it was the Eighth Prince and his family.

"Ankang, are you ready?"

The Eighth Prince came in familiarly, followed by the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Princess.

Li Xuan was a little surprised that he didn't see Princess Yuan An following them today.

Princess Ankang also noticed this and asked them:

"Where is Yuan'an? Hasn't she woken up yet?"

The fifth prince waved his hand and said, "She can't join us today. At least she has to come to us after entering the venue."

"The Queen will not let her get too close to us in such an occasion."

Princess Ankang suddenly realized and stopped asking.

Princess Yuan'an always mingled with them on weekdays, and almost forgot that she was also the legitimate daughter of Empress Wu and had the imprint of the Wu family.

The fifth prince and the seventh princess rarely mentioned their mothers, and Li Xuan had not asked about them, but it seemed that they were not as prominent as the eighth prince.

The mother of the eighth prince was from the Qin family, which was very important in the nobles' side.

It was the eighth prince's business if he wanted to play with Princess Ankang.

But if Princess Yuan'an also got together, it would easily cause misunderstandings from the outside world.

Although Princess Yuan'an was far less eye-catching than her sister, she was still the legitimate daughter of Empress Wu and represented the attitude of the Wu family to a certain extent.

Princess Yuan An can't do whatever she wants in an occasion like the New Year's Eve dinner.

This kind of thing is common for royal heirs like them.

Their personal wishes have always been subject to the greater interests behind them.

Every move needs to be cautious and considered in their hearts.

Otherwise, if they act recklessly and cause too much trouble, they will be at risk of being abandoned.

If the princes and princesses who have no one to rely on can still be favored by their mothers, it's okay. At most, they will be unwelcome outside.

But if they lose even the protection of their mothers, it will be miserable.

"Ankang, your palace skirt is exquisite!"

The eighth prince changed the subject and praised Princess Ankang.

The dresses of several of them are mainly red, but the color and style are slightly different, which seems to be divided into some levels.

The color of the eighth prince's dress is closest to that of Princess Ankang, but there are more black and dark green embellishments.

The dresses of the fifth prince and the seventh princess were lighter in color, closer to pink, and the area decorated with other colors was even larger.

Princess Ankang's dress was an orthodox bright red, with very limited embellishment, but with the fine tailoring, the palace skirt did not look too vulgar, but made her look like a red rose in bud.

In the past, Princess Ankang would definitely not be able to support this color, but she was strong and healthy, with a very good complexion and a ruddy face, which made her look more beautiful.

Princess Ankang was a little embarrassed by the praise of her friends, her face blushed, and she lowered her head and said:

"Brothers and sisters are always teasing Ankang."

"No more talking, let's go to the banquet quickly!"
