Come to extraordinary times

"Xiao Yi..." Father woke up, opened his eyes and looked at me, his blue eyes were beautiful, but I could see the worry and hesitation inside.

"Father, it's time for you to go to court." I smiled and said to Father.

Father kissed my face, didn't get up, but held me in his arms, so tight that I could hardly breathe.

"Father..." I called softly.

Father let me go, and kissed my forehead again, "What's Xiaoyi's plan for today?"

Huh?My father never asked me what I was going to do in a day, but today...

Ha ha, I think he is a little worried about me.What is he worried about?Actually I have nothing to worry about.

But what are your plans for today?I really didn't expect that today is not the time for Teacher Soli to come to class. Originally, I should stay in the magic practice room to practice magic, or read a book in the study, but I don't seem to be in the mood today.

Where are you going?

Go see my newborn eighth brother?

Forget it, I really don't want to see him.

"Father, for so many years, I have been walking between Jingde Palace and Guanghan Palace, but I have never visited other parts of the palace. Can I walk around?"

Father looked at me, thought for a while, and decided to pamper me, "Okay, but be careful. The palace is too big, and there are many places that are dangerous."

"I'll keep an eye out." I promised with a smile.

Father touched the corner of my mouth lightly with his lips, and then reluctantly got up and went to the morning court.

I watched my father walk out of the bedroom, got up too, asked Jiahong to help me get dressed, combed my hair, called Xiao Guizi, and walked outside Jingde Palace.

Two guards also followed. These two guards are called Yuetian and Yuehai respectively. They are silent by nature and have no sense of presence, but they have been with me for so many years and are loyal to me.The main reason is that there is no danger for me, and they are still relatively relaxed.

Speaking of danger, I suddenly remembered the danger I felt while holding the 'Praise of the Elf' outside the palace. Why didn't it appear later?Is there something wrong?

Forget it, it's not good if they don't show up, do I still expect them to show up?

Indeed, I am almost six years old, but I am still not familiar with the palace at all. I have only been to the imperial garden once, and it was brought by my father. Palace, I have also been there several times.But the palace is too big, and there are still many places that I am still very interested to see.

Even if it's just to relax.

"Xiao Guizi, do you know any interesting places in this palace?" I asked Xiao Guizi. They were all flattering him) might be able to find out something.

"Master, this palace is too big. I only heard that there is Guanghua Palace where His Majesty and ministers deal with affairs, Jingde Palace where His Majesty lives, Guanghan Palace where Concubine Han lives, and Xiaomeng Palace where Concubine Xiao lives. The Xuemei Palace where the Concubine Mei lived, the Boluo Palace where the Borna Queen lived, the Ruiying Palace where the princes lived, and the Shuyi Palace where the Queen lived. But there is no Queen in the harem now. I heard that there is a Queen Yes, but died of dystocia and the child was not saved, Shuyi Palace was empty, and His Majesty has not appointed a new queen yet."

"Oh? There is such a thing?" I have never heard of it.

"Yes, besides that, there are some beauties, the palace where Zhaoyi lives, and the imperial garden. By the way, why did I forget? I heard that there is a forbidden forest behind our palace, which is a very large forest , there are also monsters inside. I heard that the Forbidden Forest is very large, occupying one-third of the palace, and His Majesty and ministers have been hunting in it several times."

"Forbidden Forest? And that place. Why didn't Father ever mention it? I haven't heard that Father went hunting?" I asked strangely.

"I don't know either," Xiao Guizi scratched his hair in embarrassment, "I heard that His Majesty hasn't gone hunting in the Forbidden Forest for a few years, so there is a 'hunting festival' held every five years."

"'Hunting Sacrifice'? What is this?" I looked at Xiao Guizi curiously.

"Master, this... I don't know what to say. I just heard what the old men said. It must be that His Majesty and the ministers hunted and sacrificed to heaven!" Xiao Guizi was really scared by my question.

Hehe, I also know that Xiao Guizi doesn't know the details, so I won't make things difficult for him.

"Then let's go to the Forbidden Forest to have a look!" I decided to explore.

"Ah, master, don't, no one goes to the Forbidden Forest now. It's very dangerous there now." Xiao Guizi stopped in fright.

"Yes, master." Yuetian rarely joined the ranks of persuasion, "There has been no hunting in the Forbidden Forest for many years, and now I don't know what kind of animals and monsters have appeared."

"It's fine if I don't enter the inner circle." I said indifferently, and felt that they were interested in it, and I really wanted to take a look. "Let's just stroll around the outer circle."

"Master, this is too dangerous." Xiao Guizi stopped me unwillingly.

"Aren't there still Yuetian and Yuehai?" I looked at them, pleadingly, "Let's go and have a look, we'll be back soon."

Although they are my subordinates, I still don't want to use orders to suppress them.

"Okay," Yuehai said calmly, "but master, you must follow us and don't run around."

"Okay, okay." Hehe, I knew they would agree, because I never asked for anything.

Yuetian and Yuehai knew the way, after all they had been guards in the palace for a long time.They also seemed to know something about the Forbidden Forest, maybe why the father didn't conduct the 'hunting sacrifice' in the first place, but they didn't say much.

I walked with them for a long time, and it felt like almost two hours.I was a little tired from walking, but I didn't like them hugging me, so I insisted on walking down.

Finally arrived at the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, within ten minutes of approaching here, it became clear that it was getting more and more deserted.

Looking in from the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, it really feels like a virgin forest, with trees lingering, and I saw a little rabbit grazing under a tree.Here and the palace seem to be two extremes, there is hustle and bustle, but here is calm and peaceful.

I seem to smell the aroma of the earth, the natural breath is very strong, I close my eyes and feel it, and I feel that something is calling me.

I felt, by the way, it turned out to be 'Praise of the Elf'!

I took out the 'Praise of the Elf' from the space ring, hehe, that's right, such a strong natural atmosphere is of course the favorite place of the 'Praise of the Elf', I can feel its happy mood.

I also seem to be in a better mood.

I stepped into the Forbidden Forest and felt the beauty of nature.Lush trees, scattered sunshine, crisp birdsong, rich breath of natural life.

Holding the 'Praise of the Elf', I feel a stronger breath of life, as if the green force of nature surrounds me and surrounds me.

As I walked further and further in, Xiaoguizi and Yuetian Yuehai followed me closely.I saw a small deer, several little rabbits, and birds with beautiful feather colors. They were not afraid of me at all, and they surrounded me.

Yuetian and Yuehai became a little nervous, surrounded me and looked at the little animals nervously.

"Don't worry, I feel that they are not hostile." I said to them with a smile.

"Master, there seems to be something attracting them here. We are not far from here, and the small animals here are harmless, but no one can guarantee whether there will be a monster or something." Yuehai said to me seriously, "Let's not go too far."

Hehe, Yuehai has never said so many things in front of me, so it seems that he has no chance to advise me.

"Yuehai, no. These little animals are so cute." I knelt down and picked up a little rabbit that ran to my feet and dawdled, "I promise, I won't go in too far, but I feel that the life here Breath is very beneficial to my magic power, I feel very kind. Otherwise, let’s go in a little bit, find a better place, maybe let me try to practice magic.”

Yuetian and Yuehai heard what I said, so they had no choice but to say nothing, and they stopped stopping me, but just followed me closely.

Xiao Guizi is relatively simple, he is also very happy to see so many small animals, he hugged a little rabbit like me, and said with a smile: "Master, the small animals here are so cute, they are not afraid of people at all."

I also smiled cheerfully, and secretly rolled my eyes in my heart. Without the "Praise of the Elf", how could there be such a strong affinity, and the little animals had already run away.
