"Xiao Ru, go prepare two sets of eunuch clothes and come out of the palace incognito with me." Shen Ning spoke.
Xiaoru's eyes widened in surprise, and then his face was filled with excitement.
"Okay, Miss, I will be there soon. Do you want to take my slave out of the palace to play?"
She was as excited as a child. As soon as she heard that she was leaving the palace, she immediately thought of the bustling streets with countless delicious and fun things.
Shen Ning smiled and pinched her chubby face.
"Bringing you out of the palace to do business is not just for fun."
"Are you going to Dr. Zhang's house? It's great. This slave can see Xiao Si again. He ignored me yesterday. I have a lot to say to him." Xiao Ru went out happily.
There was a wry smile on Shen Ning's lips.
It’s Xiaosi again!
All this girl is thinking about is Xiaosi. Does she really like Xiaosi
She and Xiaoru put on eunuch uniforms respectively, took the exit tokens, and left the palace easily without arousing anyone's attention or suspicion.
After leaving the palace gate, she asked passers-by about Li Zhixing's residence, and then took Xiaoru directly to Li's mansion.
"On the order of the emperor, I came to see Mr. Li."
Arriving at Li Mansion, Shen Ning held her head high, took out a token, and waved it in front of the gatekeeper of Li Mansion.
When the gatekeeper saw the yellow token and saw that she and Xiao Ru were indeed eunuchs who had come out of the palace, how could he dare to neglect them? He hurriedly smiled and asked them to wait, and then he quickly went in to report Li Zhixing.
Not long after Li Zhixing was returned to his residence, he was resting. When he heard that someone from the palace was coming with a royal token, he was startled and hurriedly dressed up and went out to greet him.
When he came to the door, he found that they were just two young eunuchs wearing ordinary eunuch clothes. They were not the faces commonly seen around the emperor. His heart dropped in his throat, but he still had a smile on his face and faced Shen Ninghe is as small as arching his hands.
"Did the two father-in-laws come to see me on the order of the emperor?"
Shen Ning raised her eyes and looked at him.
Li Zhixing was wearing a second-grade purple-red robe. He was in his forties and had a dignified appearance. He had three long black beards under his chin. He looked very scholarly and did not look like a martial arts practitioner with thick arms and a round waist.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Shen Ning and the two, muttering in his heart.
This tall little eunuch looked familiar, as if he had seen him before but couldn't remember.
"Yes, the emperor sent us here. We have something to ask Mr. Li." Shen Ning said arrogantly and handed the token in her hand to Li Zhixing.
Li Zhixing naturally realized that this was a gift from the emperor, and hurriedly said: "The two gentlemen are here to invite me, and I will ask my officials to serve tea to the guests."
He personally led Shen Ning and Xiaoru to the living room, and then served them fragrant tea. After sitting down, he was not in a hurry to ask questions, but looked at Shen Ning with a smile.
With his many years of experience as an official, he could tell early on that Shen Ning was the one who was ordered to deliver the message.
As for Xiao Ru, she lowered her head from beginning to end and followed Shen Ning, just like a timid little eunuch who had never been out of the palace, but she did not arouse Li Zhixing's suspicion at all.
"Master Li, how expensive are you this year?" Shen Ning sat down grandly, took a sip of tea, and then spoke slowly.
Li Zhixing was slightly startled. He didn't expect that Shen Ning's first question would be this.
But he soon regained his composure and replied:
"This official is thirty-three this year."
