"Li Quan, take a red packet for yourself and for your men, go and enjoy the fair," Xuan Cheng stopped at the threshold of main gate and facing her back on them she commanded in a low voice.
"Your...Highness?" Li Quan was taken aback, his tongue trembled from shock, his men who heard Xuan Cheng exchanged glances, it had been their first time serving Xuan Cheng in person as they usually worked at the head office of Duyi in Yuchang.
Those guards were recruited carefully by Li Quan and each of them had been through several terrible life experiences as surviving as slaves was hard. None of them expected any kindness from Xuan Cheng.
They all knelt on the floor and teared up, "Hail Your Highness!" Their voice resonated across the empty street since most people were at the marketplace.
