Nine-Tailed Fox

"Brother Huang, it's time for you to change Jing'er's surname, after all, he's still a prince." Xuanyuan Che reminded.

"Also, it's fine if you don't hold the post-sealing ceremony. According to the rules of the ancestors, the crown prince's canonization ceremony must be held." Xuanyuan Bei urged, "Hurry up and choose an auspicious day, so that the Ministry of Rites can make preparations earlier."

"You are in a hurry than me."

"He is in a hurry to go back to northern Xinjiang!" Xuanyuan Che said with a smile.

Xuanyuanbei glanced at him, and said: "You are only allowed to be an idle prince for so long, and I am not allowed to go back to northern Xinjiang to stay?"

"You don't like to be restricted by the imperial court. I know it. It's been hard for you these days." Xuanyuan Jin patted Xuanyuan Bei's shoulder, and then looked at Xuanyuan Che with deep meaning.

"Okay, okay, Qing'er and I stay in the capital." Xuanyuan Che shook his head helplessly, knowing that his good days were coming to an end.

"When you are free, let Leng Qing go to the palace to accompany Xiaohuo." After wandering around for a long time, Xuanyuan Jin was still for Yun Xiaohuo.

Xuanyuan Che nodded in response, while Xuanyuan Bei looked at the two imperial brothers and sipped his wine in silence, not knowing what he was thinking.

The three of them had dinner and chatted about a stick of incense before they dispersed.

Xuanyuan Che and Xuanyuan Bei stepped away from the palace. Xuanyuan Jin originally wanted to go to Yun Xiaohuo's place, but it was already time to light up the lights. Seeing that the sky was completely dark, and thinking that today was neither the first day nor the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, he hesitated After a while, he still didn't dare to run to the Fanhua Pavilion, so he could only go straight to the Imperial Study Room.

The batch of notebooks had already been sent back to the Imperial Study Room, and they were neatly placed in two stacks on the table. The stack on the left was already approved by Xuanyuan Bei, and the stack on the right was waiting for Xuanyuan Jin to approve.

He picked up the top one on the right, flipped it open, read it from beginning to end, and thought about it carefully for a while, then took the colored lacquer and gold cloud dragon pen on the pen holder, and dipped it in cinnabar for approval.In this way, I read eight or nine books in a row before stopping.

Feeling that the tea bowl on the desk was already cold, Xuanyuan Jin shouted in displeasure: "Little sparrow!"

Unexpectedly, the little sparrow, which usually responds to a call, made no sound.

"Little bird?" He got off the table impatiently, walked to the door, and opened the two doors with a creak.

Not far from the door, Little Quezi was kneeling on the ground to stop someone. The person stopped by him was dressed in a gorgeous concubine costume, with a pendant bead hanging on her head. Following her fierce accusation, the bead on the walking stick Crackling and colliding, making annoying noises.

"Have you had enough trouble?"

He roared sharply, and the group of people bowed their heads and knelt down immediately, only the woman was so happy that she almost burst into tears.

"Wan'er sees the emperor! May my emperor live forever!" That woman is not the mother concubine of the current eldest prince and the first of the four concubines, Concubine Shu.

"Concubine Shu?" The last thing Xuanyuan Jin wants to see at this moment is probably these harem concubines, but there are some people who want to appear in front of him out of nowhere. No wonder the little bird didn't wait at the door but ran out to block people.

"Little sparrow, come here for me."

"Yes." Little Quezi quickly stood up, and trotted to Xuanyuan Jin.

As he approached, Xuanyuan Jin noticed that Xiaoquezi's right cheek was red and swollen, he frowned, and glanced coldly at Concubine Shu Lu Xiaowan in front of him.

"You can beat my people too?" He was not angry but threatened, and Concubine Shu's face turned pale in fright, "During the period when I was not in the palace, you have grown up so courageous!"

"My concubine dare not! Please punish me by the emperor!" Concubine Shu kowtowed and apologized, and kept saying, "When my concubine heard that the emperor returned to the palace, she missed her deeply, so she made ginseng chicken soup and wanted to send it to the imperial study. Who knew that Eunuch Que insisted on not notifying the concubine, and the concubine did something beyond the rules in a hurry, please forgive the concubine because of the concubine's infatuation."

"Infatuated?" Xuanyuan Jin sneered in his heart, if he wasn't the emperor, would these women be infatuated with him?She eagerly came to see him, but it was just for her coveted queen position and his son's crown prince position.

No one is like Xiao Huo, who is willing to stay with him even if he doesn't know who he is, and is even willing to risk his life to have a child against the sky.

"Your Majesty has been away for a long time. I haven't seen Fei Er for a long time. Fei Er is now practicing martial arts with the Third Prince. The Third Prince praises him for his talent..."

"I happen to have something to tell you." Before Concubine Shu could finish speaking, Xuanyuan Jin interrupted her and said, "I have decided to seal Jing'er as the crown prince, and when the auspicious day is selected, we will hold a ceremony for the appointment. After the ceremony, there will be a night banquet in the Imperial Garden. This is something that the empress should worry about, but Xiao Huoxi is pure and her health is not good, so you can only work harder."

"The emperor's meaning, the concubine didn't understand." It's not that I heard that the emperor brought back two people, one big and one small, but no one saw them, and I heard that the person was arranged in the most remote palace, Concubine Shu Just as she let go of her gripped heart, she didn't expect the emperor to make such a decision. The dream she was eagerly looking forward to was shattered, and her face turned pale, "Did the emperor just joke? Where did the queen come from in this harem?"

"Presumptuous!" Xuanyuan Jin yelled sharply, "Could it be that the Empress Zhen still wants to ask you!"

Concubine Shu's heart skipped a beat, she knelt down in panic, "I dare not."

"The empress doesn't care about the affairs of the harem. As the head of the four concubines, you will continue to manage the harem, but you need to remember that the empress is above you, and he is the real head of the harem."

"Remember, my concubine."

"Let's go back"

Carrying Concubine Shu's sedan chair far away, the rich scent of jasmine drifted away with her, Xuanyuan Jin finally let go of his frowning eyebrows.

"Little sparrow, give me a cup of hot tea."

He flung off his sleeves, turned around and walked back to the imperial study room, unexpectedly there was a person standing in the middle of the room, dressed in red, with long red hair tied up in a bun, fixed behind his head with a Ruyi jadeite hairpin, leaving a few spots on both sides of his cheeks. Strands of hair framed his pale skin.

"Little Huo?" Xuanyuan Jin was taken aback.

"I remembered that I had something to tell you, so I came in without authorization." Yun Xiaohuo didn't know when he arrived.

"Sit down, don't stand." Xuanyuan Jin hurried forward.

"No, I'll just ask you a few words."

"Okay, tell me." Xuanyuan Jin stopped two steps away from Yun Xiaohuo, not daring to get too close, but also reluctant to stand far away, his eyes were full of Yun Xiaohuo's figure.

"Jing'er is eight years old. He hasn't been in private school for a few days. In addition, he is naughty and has not learned much. Now that he is the prince, he has to make up for his homework and cannot relax."

"The candidate for Prince Fu has not yet been decided, wait..."

"I can't wait any longer." Yun Xiaohuo blurted out, and he was taken aback when he finished speaking.

"Why can't we wait?"

"I'm afraid that he won't be able to bear the name of prince and make the courtiers dissatisfied."

"Establish the eldest son of the emperor as the crown prince. This is the rule set by the ancestors. They don't have to gossip. As for the candidate for the crown prince, I will make a decision as soon as possible. Jing'er is a smart child, so you don't have to worry too much about him."

"There is also the matter of the prince's bedroom, it should be settled earlier."

"Jing'er is still young, so there is nothing wrong with living with you."

"Not right." Yun Xiaohuo shook his head, "I have always been a demon, but he is a human being. What he wants to learn is human emotions, six desires, and the principles of ethics. I can't teach him these things. If you have the heart, let him It’s okay to be with you.”

"I am his father, I will teach him to be a man and a king, but after all, he is close to you, and he is so young, you..."

"Although he is only eight years old, he has matured like a teenager."

"Little Huo!" Xuanyuan Jin frowned slightly, not understanding why Xiao Huo was so stubborn, "What's wrong with you?"

Yun Xiaohuo didn't speak, just watched Xuanyuan Jin quietly, his black eyes gradually turning red, and then slowly regained his composure.

Although it was an inch away, Xuanyuan Jin felt that there were still many mountains and rivers between him and Yun Xiaohuo. He was a little unwilling, but more helpless.

Knock knock knock.A little sparrow's voice sounded outside the door, "Your Majesty".

"come in."

Xiao Quezi opened the door and entered the room, and was startled when he saw Yun Xiaohuo, but fortunately, he didn't see the strangeness, so he respectfully offered the tea bowl, and said, "Damn you, I didn't know that Mr. Yun was here, so this slave is here." I'll make you some tea."

"No, I'm leaving."

As Yun Xiaohuo said, his figure had already floated to the door. The red coat was as thin as a cicada's wing, faintly covered with a layer of golden light. With the opening of the two doors, he disappeared into the darkness.

Seeing that autumn is coming to an end, ginkgo leaves are falling, and the garden is covered with golden lights. When you step on it, there is a crisp sound of clicking.

Xuanyuan Jin came down to court, and discussed the state affairs with Xuanyuan Che, Xuanyuan Bei and several important ministers in the Imperial Study Room, and they were busy until lunch time.

"My lord, where are you having dinner today?"

"Go to Fanhua Pavilion."

Xuanyuan Jin didn't sit in the sedan chair, but walked quickly with Xiao Quezi alone, and walked to the gate of Fanhua Pavilion with seven turns and eight turns.

It has been nearly ten days since Yun Xiaohuo lived in this Fanhua Pavilion, and the imperial decree was promulgated six days ago.It was even rumored that the queen had a strange disease, so she never showed her face.

Yun Xiaohuo didn't know about this, and he didn't care about it. He enjoyed the cleanliness in Fanhua Pavilion every day, like this afternoon, lying on the rockery in the sun for a rest, and on the stone table not far in front of him, he was still gurgling. Boil water.

As soon as Xuanyuan Jin entered Fanhua Pavilion, he saw this scene.He froze for a moment, then approached with light steps.

Yun Xiaozhuo was sleeping soundly, her long red hair was scattered on her shoulders, her breathing was steady and undulating, as if she was going to sleep for thousands of years.Xuanyuan Jin was startled, and reached out to touch his face. The warm touch reassured him a little, and just as he took off his cloak to cover him, the man fluttered his eyelashes and woke up.

"Are you here?" Yun Xiaohuo sat up and stretched.

"Why are you sleeping on a rock? You don't feel like you're slumping?"

Just as I was talking, the autumn wind passed by, swishing
