Leng Hanxuan, who sneaked out of the palace, looked at the lively market with curiosity. After staying in the palace for so many years, Leng Hanxuan was naturally very curious about the outside world.
He looked here and there, and finally he was attracted by a vendor selling candied haws.
Seeing Leng Hanxuan's eyes staring at the candied haws, the vendor greeted him warmly: "Young master, do you want to buy candied haws?"
Leng Hanxuan nodded and touched his purse, only to find that it was flat. Only then did he realize that he had come out in a hurry and did not bring any money. He was crying and didn't know what to do for a while.
The hawker waited for a long time but didn't see him take out any money, and he felt a little impatient. Although he is obviously dressed in rich clothes, but he can't even get a few pennies out of his pocket, he must have stolen clothes from a wealthy family, right
Leng Hanxuan noticed the strange look in the vendor's eyes and felt his face burning. He quickly explained: "I was in a hurry and forgot to bring my money."
The more the hawker looked at it, the more he felt that he had stolen clothes from a wealthy family. He waved his hand impatiently as if to ward off annoying flies: "If you don't have any money, go aside and don't disturb my business!"
Leng Hanxuan's pink and jade-carved face turned red, showing both anger and grievance. As the prince born to the emperor's favorite concubine Shu, he had always been the little bully in the palace. When had he ever received such treatment? Especially when it was just a small street vendor who did this to him.
"Two candied haws on a stick." A cold and sweet voice said.
The hawker looked over and was stunned. A girl in white with a fairy-like appearance stood in front of him.
"Give me two candied haws." Looking at the hawker who was staring at him in a daze, Miao Anyun frowned and repeated in a louder voice.
"Okay!" The vendor specially selected two bunches of candied haws that looked the best and handed them to Miao Anyun, taking the opportunity to look at him a few more times.
"How much?"
"Girl, I see you are kind, so I won't charge you any money this time!" The vendor was very enthusiastic. But Miao Anyun didn't know where his enthusiasm came from. He even felt that this enthusiasm came from a bit inexplicable.
Miao Anyun: ...So Ning Xiuyuan actually has a popular face, right? It looks familiar to everyone who sees it.
This time he just wanted to go out to the palace on a whim, but he didn't expect to meet Leng Hanxuan who sneaked out of the palace. I have to say, this is a kind of fate. He had witnessed the whole process of what had just happened. Miao Anyun had no idea that such an embarrassing thing would happen to the future Emperor of the Eternal Ages when he was a child.
"Han Xuan." Pulling Leng Hanxuan and not knowing what to say, Miao Anyun had no choice but to call out his name. Originally, he wanted to call him the Sixth Prince, but this title was not suitable outside the palace, and the country's surname was Leng, which he couldn't call, so he had to settle for these two words.
Leng Hanxuan, who was being led away by Miao Anyun, looked cute. When he heard Miao Anyun calling him, he looked up at Miao Anyun with some confusion: "Sister?"
"..." Miao Anyun, who didn't know how to chat with children, was speechless. She had no choice but to stuff the two bunches of candied haws in Leng Hanxuan's hand. They were originally bought for him anyway. As for the lethal "sister" sentence, Miao Anyun simply ignored it.
Mu Anyun felt that if he cared about this, he would probably feel troubled by it for many days in the future. Miao Anyun had no doubt about the chance of this premonition coming true.
Leng Hanxuan also didn't know what to say to Miao Anyun. He looked at Miao Anyun's face that was as cold as snow and as beautiful as snow, and gnawed the candied haws in his hand tangledly. After he went back last time, his mother, Concubine Shu, had been telling him to be respectful to the Imperial Master and not to be so indifferent... Anyway, she gave him a list of things he couldn't do, and he felt a little more restrained this time. .
Neither of them had the intention to speak, so it turned into a scene of two people walking forward in silence together.
"Did Han Xuan sneak out to play today?" Miao Anyun felt a little regretful as soon as the words came out of her mouth. It was as if she hadn't asked. Leng Hanxuan obviously threw away the palace maid and ran out secretly.
"Yeah!" Leng Hanxuan licked the candied haws and nodded obediently, completely losing the bratty temperament that struck him when the two met for the first time.
There was another moment of silence between the two.
"Sister, I want to eat that!" Leng Hanxuan's eyes suddenly lit up and he broke the awkward silence. He stretched out his hand and pulled Mu Anyun's clothes, pointing to the candy seller's stall not far away.
"Well, okay." Miao Anyun walked over with Leng Hanxuan. At this moment, he still wanted to brush up on his future boss's favorability. After all, they would be working together for many years in the future. To be precise, he will work for him for many years.

Leng Hanxuan soon had a bunch of candy figures in the shape of little rabbits on his hand. But Miao Anyun looked familiar again, and the candy vendor still confiscated his money.
"Sister, do you want to eat?" Leng Hanxuan looked at Miao Anyun, who was watching him quietly, and raised the candy man in his hand as if offering a treasure.
Miao Anyun shook his head coldly. He didn't like candy eaters. He thought these things were too sweet. And Leng Hanxuan seems to like these things. Maybe children like sweet things? Miao Anyun thought uncertainly.
Leng Hanxuan was a little disappointed, but this disappointment was quickly forgotten by him. He licked the candy man and narrowed his eyes in contentment.
…
Leng Hanxuan, who was a little reserved for some reason, gradually relaxed when he realized that Miao Anyun was not as cold and unkind as his mother said. From time to time, he would drag Miao Anyun to a stall and look at him expectantly with his big black eyes.
Leng Hanxuan has delicate eyebrows and a bit of baby fat. When he looks at someone with expectant eyes, usually no one would think of rejecting such a cute child. This kind of opportunity to gain a good impression of your future boss is quite rare, so Miao Anyun will naturally not begrudge anything.
What's more, he actually didn't spend any money along the way. Generally speaking, if you walk up to a stall and brush your face, the stall owner will basically not charge you any money. Well, because he has a nice face.
After a while, Leng Hanxuan had many special snacks on hand. They walked and ate all the way, almost visiting the whole street.
Miao Anyun looked at Leng Hanxuan, who was carved with pink and jade beside him, and felt that people should not be judged by appearance. He ate so much food without blinking an eye, as if he couldn't eat enough at all. This made Miao Anyun couldn't help but wonder if his stomach was connected to another dimension, so it was like a bottomless pit.
After taking a look at the sky, Miao Anyun, who planned to continue shopping with Leng Hanxuan, stopped an excited child from dragging him to another stall.
"Han Xuan, it's getting late, I'll take you back."
Leng Hanxuan, who was still excited at first, seemed to have been poured a bucket of cold water on him. He muttered with some disappointment: "Ah, so fast..."
However, Leng Hanxuan didn't bother to play for a while, he nodded obediently.
…
"Thank you so much, Imperial Master, for sending Han Xuan back this time." Concubine Shu smiled and thanked Miao Anyun who was sitting beside her, her expression filled with gratitude and respect.
The status of the Imperial Master in Tianyu Kingdom is not low, and even her, a first-class concubine, must be treated with respect.
"It just happened to happen." Miao Anyun narrowed his eyes, his expression was cold, and his tone was also very cold. "If nothing happens, I will go back first."
"Master, please go slowly." Concubine Shu naturally did not dare to stop him.
————
Ever since they met Leng Hanxuan outside the palace, there have been more connections between them.
Leng Hanxuan would come to Miao Anyun to play with him from time to time, and sometimes he would act coquettishly for him and ask Miao Anyun to take him out of the palace. Concubine Shu had no intention of stopping him. Miao Anyun knew that Concubine Shu had acquiesced in Leng Hanxuan's actions.
After all, there is no harm in having a good relationship with him as a national master. On the contrary, it has many benefits. Before, there were only rumors that the Imperial Master had a weird temper, so no one tried to get close to him.
"Sister~" A child's tender voice came from outside the hall. Miao Anyun put down the book in her hand, stood up and went out.
"His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince."
The child rushed over and said with a smile: "Sister, just call me Han Xuan~"
"The etiquette cannot be discarded." As he said this, Miao Anyun stretched out his hand to catch him.
"It's okay not to call me Han Xuan, as long as sister tells me your name?"
Leng Hanxuan seemed to be obsessed with asking for his name, but this scene had happened many times.
"..." Miao Anyun looked into the child's stubborn eyes and finally said helplessly: "My name is Ning Xiuyuan."
Leng Hanxuan read these words several times and smiled: "Sister's name is so nice! Sister Xiuyuan, when I grow up, will you marry me and be my wife?"
Miao Anyun was noncommittal, obviously just taking this sentence as a joke. He spoke coldly, as if he was just stating a fact: "The national teacher will not be able to have a family in his life."
"Rules are set by people, can't they be changed?" Leng Hanxuan looked into Miao Anyun's cold eyes with no intention of giving up. "At that time, will Sister Xiuyuan be willing to marry me?"
"Only the Ninth Five Lords can change the ancestral family law, do you understand?" Miao Anyun looked at Leng Hanxuan, his cold eyes full of seriousness.
From their previous interactions, Miao Anyun could tell that Leng Hanxuan had no idea about the most distinguished position. He is talented and intelligent, but he has a playful nature all day long, just pretending to be himself. His disguise was so perfect that even Miao Anyun was deceived by him when she first met him, thinking that he was really just a naughty and naughty kid.
"Of course I understand." Leng Hanxuan smiled innocently, but there was something extra in his eyes.
Miao Anyun could see clearly that what appeared in Leng Hanxuan's eyes was the desire for the throne. If his goal before was just to be an idle prince, now he might be the emperor.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Miao Anyun had to admit that at this moment, Leng Hanxuan only wanted to compete for the throne because he wanted to marry him, the national master.
It's always a good thing to have a goal first. As for the fact that he wants to marry him...Miao Anyun narrowed her eyes, probably she will forget about it when Leng Hanxuan grows up.
"Ah, don't worry about this! Sister Xiuyuan, let's leave quickly. If we don't leave, it will be too late!" Leng Hanxuan seemed to remember something, patted his head, took Miao Anyun's hand and walked out.
