The runes in the dark night were shining with golden light, and if it was an adult, it would definitely be surprised and questioned, but Xiao Yunfan just used this magical stone as a trick to hold the lamp, and he was not overly surprised.

The golden light runes just floated in the alleyway, illuminating the entire alleyway, Xiao Yunfan tried to catch these runes, the runes jumped irregularly, the golden light of the runes dissipated into clouds, the clouds dispersed into fog, and the floating fog gradually covered the earth.

Xiao Yunfan stopped and went and came home very late.

The palm lantern envoy was on the top of the Wenyuan Pavilion, looking at the misty laneway, his mind was complicated, and he whispered in a low voice: "Thousand Illusion Cloud Stones!"

Xiao Shunzi didn't see Xiao Yunfan come back, and he was very anxious in his heart, after all, he let Yunfan go over, and if something happened, he would be held accountable first.

Xiao Shunzi only dared to wait in the harem, did not dare to cross the wind and cloud wall, and sent someone to inform the old grandmother. The old grandmother knew something about Xiao Yunfan's naughtiness, and just told the Praetorian Guards to pay attention to him, and if they found Xiao Yunfan, take him back to the palace.

Concubine Pian and Wei Weier were very worried about Xiao Yunfan, the poor concubine had no support in the palace, and only because Yun Fan had a relationship with the old grandmother, they turned to the old grandmother for help, and the old grandmother told them to wait in the palace.

After walking through that section of the black road, the Thousand Illusion Fire rekindled the flames, flying low above Xiao Yunfan's head, Xiao Yunfan and the big yellow hair stopped and chased the Thousand Illusion Fire, forgetting that the time had passed into the second watch, and also forgot Xiao Fat's appointment. The big yellow hair followed Xiao Yunfan back to the palace of the concubine, and the concubine was waiting anxiously in front of the door at that time.

Xiao Yunfan, who saw his mother's concubine, realized that he had made a mistake, lowered his head, and prepared to meet the punishment. To his surprise, Concubine Pian just hugged him into her arms and whispered: Why did you come back so late, do you know how worried the mother concubine is about you.

"I'm ......"

Xiao Yunfan told Concubine Pian about her experience of this day, and seeing Xiao Yunfan dancing and talking, Concubine Pian's original anxiety was scattered, and she couldn't help laughing.

"Mother, look! This is thunder!" Xiao Yunfan took out the thunder box, but at this time, the thunder and lightning in the thunder box had dried up and no longer flashed.

"Huh, also, this little firebird was also given to me by the lantern bearer. "A thousand phantom fires flew down from the tall wall, just the right amount of warmth came to the face, and the feeling of warm sun was like a winter Laba porridge delicate into the stomach.

"This is..."Wei Wei'er looked at the Thousand Illusion Fire in horror, unable to believe that the wooden flying bird was still flying with flames burning all over its body.

Concubine Mercy was also surprised, Xiao Yunfan explained that she had overcome the fear of darkness in her heart, and the lantern envoy gave it to her. The concubine advised: Don't accept gifts from others at will. I was curious about the old man, who was called the lantern bearer, because he knew nothing about him, and his own child had spent a day with this strange old man.

Wei Wei'er took some food in the imperial dining room, and the well-fed Xiao Yunfan and Da Huang Mao fell asleep next to each other on the same bed, and the Thousand Illusion Fire flames were extinguished and stood in front of the window bathing in the moonlight.

The next day, Xiao Yunfan wanted to send Rhubarb Mao to his grandmother, and at the same time, he also had to go to Taifu Xu Qing to fulfill his promise of "painting the world in the palm of his hand".

The old grandmother's palace is in a bamboo forest, clean and leisurely. In the season when the bamboo forest is growing upright, the bamboo leaves are verdant, the fresh mountain breeze carries the fragrance of the bamboo leaves around the bamboo forest, and next to the bluestone path is a stream, in which the purple-red petals float. There are some pavilions on the way up the hillside, and the rockery next to the pavilion is surrounded by a trace of mist, and the pavilions are full of silent samurai, just drinking and drinking tea.

Walking up the hillside, a small courtyard came into view. The courtyard is surrounded by trees, and the tall trees block the sight of the sky, but only the view of the northeast side is not blocked, and the Fengyun Mountain and the cloud scenery are presented in front of you, like a frame diagram, there is stillness in movement, and there is movement in stillness.

Xiao Yunfan has no one to stop him all the way, he has only been here a few times, he is familiar with the road, as if he did not regard himself as an outsider, you must know that this place is more strict than the emperor's bedroom.

At this time, the old grandmother was squinting and resting at a stone table in the courtyard, and Xiao Yunfan cleverly patted the big yellow hair, signaling it to play and not disturb the old grandmother. He himself was attracted by the dessert on the stone table, which he had eaten before, and the dessert was called Luohua Cake, which was made from the falling flowers of the Luohua tree that fell in all seasons on Fengyun Mountain. The confectionery made from the petals of each month of the year has a different feeling when you taste it carefully.

Xiao Yunfan cautiously walked to the stone table and took a few pink and purple pastries openly. At the same time, he was also attracted to another thing on the table, a string of yellow hand beads. Xiao Yunfan is very good at observing, before he found that this string of beads can change color, and it is a variety of colors, he wants it very much, but this is not suitable.

I picked up the beads, looked at them, sniffed them again, and finally put them down. Picked up a pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, took a few more and kicked it into his arms, and then turned to leave.

In the woods next to the courtyard, a human form gradually appeared, and it was the deacon of Wenyuan Pavilion who was secretly hiding. The palm lamp made his hands behind his back and said, "It's a pity, innate qualifications, it's a pity not to cultivate." Alas!"

The old grandmother did not sleep, she opened her eyes, her eyes were clear and full of spirit. "You don't have to act on your own in this matter, you will be born as a mortal and live a peaceful life, this is also his mother's hope, Hugh will pull him into your so-called cultivation world. ”

"Okay, listen to you. The lantern envoy did not refute the old grandmother, but just nodded and said, with a hint of helplessness and disappointment in his words.

............

Taifu Xu Qing is the prime minister of the imperial court, and he is the Taifu Taishi of the overlord of the Longyun Empire.

Xiao Yunfan did not disappoint Taifu Xu Qing, there are many smart princes, and there are many brave people, but they all have more nobles. Especially today's princes, who are idle all day long and don't read classics. But he is smart, but he is not willing to work hard, does not seek progress, does things absurdly, and memorizes every word of the art of governance, but has no heart for benevolence. Only Xiao Yunfan, the mother concubine and a palace maid, far away from the palace and the government, Xiao Yunfan is smart and studious, and his heart is not turbid.

Taifu Xu Qing, who saw the map of the palace, looked surprised, and couldn't believe that Xiao Yunfan, who was only six years old, had drawn the huge palace so carefully.

"Your Highness, the minister promised His Highness, and the minister will keep his promise. But..."Taifu Xu Qing paused halfway through his words and looked at Xiao Yunfan.

"Your Highness, can you finish reading "National Politics"?"

"I'm done, I'm done with my homework. ”

"Your Highness, now it's time to ask the palace, Your Highness tells the minister, can you have the ambition of the world?"

"Hmm, Taifu, what do you mean?" Xiao Yunfan really didn't understand the connotation of Taifu Xu Qing's words.

Asking the palace is the tradition of the Longyun Empire, the princes will be summoned by the emperor at the age of six, and the ministers will ask questions, clarify their aspirations, show their talents, and set their directions. After the inquiry, the prince will be trained by the ministers and the emperor according to his performance.

The prince of the Longyun Empire will generally have four titles to be awarded, the first class is the regent, who shares the rights equally with the emperor and supervises the regent; the second class is the king of the town, who is in charge of the town border guards, expands the territory, and guards the frontier; the third class is the county king, who is in charge of one side and governs the country and the people; and the fourth class is the prince of Yu, who has no position and no position, and enjoys aristocratic treatment.

Xiao Yunfan is already six years old, and he will be asked about the palace this year, and the Taifu Xu Qing and the old grandmother obviously recognize that Xiao Yunfan has the talent of the emperor, so they hope that Xiao Yunfan can perform well when the court asks the palace, maybe he can really remove the prince and establish Xiao Yunfan as the prince.

Taifu Xu Qing stroked his beard lightly, thinking about something, while Xiao Yunfan was looking forward to something.

"Your Highness, the minister promised His Highness that the minister always remembered that the time for His Majesty to patrol Ziqingyuan is approaching, and the minister will take His Highness with him. Taifu Xu Qing knew that the emperor of the dynasty would not summon the palace by himself, so he decided to find an opportunity to carry out this matter during the hunting patrol.

"A word is a certainty!" Xiao Yunfan was very happy after getting the promise, and after leaving, he went to Wenyuan Pavilion to find the lantern envoy to learn the "Organ Technique", but the lantern envoy was not there, so Xiao Yunfan went back to the palace in a daze.

Just when Xiao Yunfan was arranged by Taifu Xu Qing's life, the lantern envoy also told the concubine some truths, and after the concubine Qiaoxi learned about Xiao Yunfan's situation, she decided to ask the palace king to find a way out for him, and was affirmed by the lantern envoy to be the king of the county in the future.

The palm lamp made her wonder in her heart: Did she not understand her hints, and after thinking about it, it is also that this world has forgotten about the cultivation of truth for almost a thousand years, and it is strange to understand.

As a prince, Xiao Yunfan has some things that he can no longer control.

Taifu Xu Qing lived in the palace for several months, teaching Xiao Yunfan knowledge day and night, and some unfamiliar faces also entered and exited the palace of the concubine, they were all virtuous ministers who were running around for the new prince's palace plan.

In a blink of an eye, the emperor's hunting time came, and Xiao Yunfan followed Taifu Xu Qing to the mighty hunting army.

The emperor is lazy, just enjoy the wine and food, and he really can't ride and shoot. First a few older princes performed, then some townside royal families and county royal families, and finally the current prince - Yunfeng.

Yunfeng's equestrian skills are exquisite, and his archery is almost every shot, if it weren't for his bad reputation, the ministers really thought that he was an excellent candidate for the heir to the throne.

There are eunuchs and relatives and ministers to control, and the hunting patrol seems to be the prince's lone show. Until everyone shared the roasted meat, Taifu Xu Qing stood up and said, the new prince Yun Fan has not asked the palace yet, the time is approaching the end of the year, there is no auspicious day, today the Son of Heaven and the ministers are here, it is really an auspicious time to ask the palace.

After hearing this, the emperor was drunk, and he looked at Xiao Yunfan beside Taifu. The emperor stared at Xiao Yunfan for a while, then turned his head to look at the chief eunuch, while Xiao Yunfan saw his biological father with a complicated expression.

"Ahem, Prime Minister, today is the day of the hunting patrol, killing and seeing blood, I'm afraid it's not good to ask the palace here!" The person who spoke was a minister of foreign relatives, and his status was no less than that of Taifu Xu Qing, and he was not polite when he spoke.

"Yes, Prime Minister, this matter needs to be considered in the long run. "The chief eunuch is the chief eunuch.

"Hmph, Your Majesty hasn't said anything yet, is it your turn to speak?" Taifu Xu Qing, who was refuted by the ministers of his relatives, suddenly became angry, and sprinkled it all on the chief eunuch, whose face was pale, and he did not speak.

"The matter of asking the palace is troublesome every year, don't mention it in the future if you solve it today. The Emperor said, then looked at the chief eunuch.

Although the chief eunuch was unwilling, he still ordered the venue to be cleaned up and held a palace ceremony.
