The fifth prince took the initiative to pour wine for Ye Fan, which dumbfounded the jailer on duty in the distance.
Ye Fan waved his hands and complained: "I'm not worried, it's just that the Snow Emperor always takes me to the prison. Who do I provoke?"
"Shh!"
The fifth prince quickly covered Ye Fan's mouth, "Brother Ye, please don't talk nonsense.
If it reaches the ears of the father, I'm afraid it won't be a matter of introspection.
If you are charged with disrespect, it will be very troublesome!"
While speaking, he quickly looked outside.
The jailers immediately turned their heads, as if nothing happened.
The fifth prince had a drink with Ye Fan.
After a while, the eldest prince and Princess Xueying came to the Tianlao.
They looked very disappointed and seemed to have a hint of resentment.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Fan said with a smile: "Yesterday I was in high spirits, but today I'm like an eggplant beaten by frost."
"Brother Ye, my father has not agreed to reinstate you."
The eldest prince sighed softly.
"Oh, shall I return my official position to my original position?"
Ye Fan shook his head and smiled: "I would be happy if I could save you a few days!"
Princess Xueying whispered: "The emperor presented the skulls of two monsters, and even the crocodile dragon eggs to the father.
But he didn't let go, he just asked you to reflect here, and didn't even say when he would let you out."
"whatever."
Ye Fan shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "You guys should sort out your thoughts in the past few days, and then write me a speech about your autumn outing. This will be your homework for the past few days."
"yes."
The three eldest princes nodded in succession.
"Okay, you go back to the palace.
It’s not good to stay here all the time, especially Princess Xueying!”
Ye Fan waved his hands and sighed.
"Brother Ye, let's go back first."
The eldest prince raised his hands and saluted: "I will come to visit you again tomorrow."
"Um."
Ye Fan watched the three eldest princes leave.
Chen Jiejie walked to the door of the cell and sighed: "Mr. Ye is really deeply blessed by the Holy Spirit!"
"Brother Chen, what are you talking about!"
Lin Lang spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "I am a prisoner now!"
"I have never seen a prisoner who is visited by a prince or princess every day.
Moreover, His Majesty the Snow Emperor has never stopped me."
Chen Jiejie cupped his hands and said, "If Mr. Ye becomes prosperous in the future, don't forget about the villain!"
"Brother Chen, your official position is higher than mine, okay?"
Ye Fan touched his nose and laughed and said, "I beg you to take care of me. I may have to come in again in the future."
With that said, he took out a few ingots of gold from the space stone and handed them to Chen Jiejie.
"This is my expenses for the next few days. Please take care of it, Chen Jiejie!"
"Mr. Ye, what are you talking about?"
Chen Jiejie refused to accept it.
If Ye Fan is only detained for a few days, will he need dozens of taels of gold?
The two of them were polite for a while, and then Chen Jieji accepted the money and quietly removed Lin Lang's shackles, allowing him to move around freely.
That afternoon, after receiving the news, the four-eyed dragon went to the prison.
He is also an old acquaintance here.
It was not because he had committed anything, but because he visited Ye Fan too frequently and helped him with his affairs. The jailers were very familiar with him.
As soon as he entered the cell, he burst out laughing.
"Ye Fan, you kid is teasing me to death! You've only been out for a few days, and you're here to play again. The house on the street outside the Imperial Palace is just a decoration, it's your home, right?"
"Damn it, stop talking sarcastically."
Ye Fan mobilized his strength, wrapped the cell, blocked the sound from being transmitted, and asked in a low voice: "Have you met Fairy Huaijing recently?"
"No."
The four-eyed dragon shook his head, "You also know that she is the head maid in the deep palace, how can I possibly get in touch with her?
She originally told you to move around more with her, but who knows, you have been in a cell for ten of the twenty days since you took office!"
"……Fine."
Ye Fan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Fairy Huaijing is by Princess Huaiying's side, so it's not that easy to get close to her.
He is now the Imperial Lecturer, he can only enter the palace on weekdays, and can only move around the Wenwu Hall area.
Unless, he can enter the Royal Master's Mansion, stay in the Civil and Military Palace, and have a larger activity area.
Only in this way can we increase the chances of contact with the prince and princess, and naturally we can also meet more with Fairy Huaijing.
In this way, Ye Fan stayed in the prison for ten days.
There was no movement from the Snow Emperor. The eldest prince and the others went to beg for mercy every day, but the Snow Emperor never said when to let him go.
However, the Snow Emperor did not change Ye Fan's position. He still paid his salary and received his salary as usual.
Even though Ye Fan was eating and drinking all day long in the prison, he didn't bother to care.
According to him, as long as Ye Fan didn't leave the prison, he wouldn't care even if the roof was torn down.
The eldest prince and the others arranged for someone to go to Tianlao to deliver food from the imperial kitchen to Ye Fan every day.
Sometimes, they will come in person.
What's more, a large group of princes and princesses came hand in hand and held a class in the prison holding scrolls.
Because the Snow Emperor will inspect their study situation soon, their lecturer is Ye Fan, who is staying in the prison.
If you don’t study here, where can you go?
Immediately, a strange scene unprecedented in history appeared in the Tianlao.
For three days in a row, more than a dozen princes and princesses lived and ate in Tianlao, directly treating it as a dormitory.
Many officials complained about Ye Fan, saying that he ignored national laws and regulations and led all the princes and princesses into corruption.
Unexpectedly, Taishi, the head of the civil service, was the first to jump out and accuse the officials.
He was very interested in the education of princes and princesses, and Ye Fan actually made these princes and princesses spontaneously go to Tianlao to study.
This shows that he has the perfect charm of a lecturer, guiding princes and princesses to study in a positive way, even going to the prison to study in such harsh conditions! How valuable is this?
If you consult Ye Fan, aren't you opposing the prince's desire to learn?
When the officials saw that Big Brother was angry, they didn't need the Snow Emperor to speak, so they themselves gave up and never dared to show their prowess again.
The civil servants were supported by big shots, but the generals were too lazy to pay attention. In addition, the Snow Emperor's attitude was unpredictable. From then on, no one dared to interfere in Ye Fan's affairs.
On this day, Ye Fan used money to treat a group of jailers to drinks, and he also took several prisoners to eat and drink together.
Thirty or forty people set up five or six tables in the sky prison, which was very lively.
After eating for a long time, Ye Fan asked curiously: "The eldest prince and the others rarely come here recently. Are there any big events in the palace?"
Since the end of the Snow Emperor's inspection, the eldest prince and the others came here once, and they were also in a hurry. They left after a short time.
I haven't been here since then, but I have my guards come every day to bring me wine and food.
Ye Fan asked the guards, but they didn't say anything and just invited Ye Fan to have a meal.
Everyone was enjoying their meal today, and Ye Fan came up with a topic to liven up the atmosphere at the wine table.
Chen Jiejie grinned: "Mr. Ye, you haven't heard about it yet?
The civil and military conference is about to begin, this is an annual event in our imperial city!"
"Civil and Military Conference?"
Ye Fan was stunned, "What is a civil and military conference?"
"The Civil and Military Conference has been a tradition of our Lixue Kingdom for thousands of years and is held every year!"
Chen Jiejie said.
"To put it bluntly, it is an official competition that gathers all civil servants and military generals! The requirements are not high, you can participate if you are fifty years old and a third-grade official or below! If you win the first place, you will be promoted to a first-grade official and get three good treasures! In addition, if you participate in the civil and military competition
Groups in the conference can also receive awards from the Snow Emperor, and the prizes are extraordinary!"
"group?"
Ye Fan was stunned, "What group?"
"Hey, aren't there two camps: civil servants and military generals?"
Chen Jieji laughed and said: "But, in the past hundred years, almost all military generals have won the civil and military competitions.
In the evening, when the Snow Emperor held a banquet for the officials, the civil servants could only watch."
"Are civil servants so weak?"
Ye Fan laughed.
"Isn't it?"
Chen Jiejie shook his head and smiled: "The generals selected are all officers with military industry. Every time they are selected, they will sweep away the civilian officials! Alas, the civilian officials this year... Huh?
Mr. Ye, aren't you from Wenwen Pavilion?
You are also a civil servant, and you fully meet the requirements for participating in the civil and military conference! Didn't you receive the invitation letter?"
"Do I still need an invitation letter?"
Ye Fan was stunned, "I've never seen it before."
"Isn't this a waste?"
Chen Jiejie patted his thigh and said regretfully: "Mr. Ye is a martial arts wizard who is rare to see in a hundred years! Let me tell you, there are really not many people under the age of fifty and below the third rank in the officialdom with your level of strength!
If you participate in the civil and military conference, you will definitely be proud of our civil servants!"
"Pull him down."
Ye Fan laughed aloud: "I am entering the palace for the second time, isn't it just for the civil servants?
His Majesty the Snow Emperor just wants to beat me up, but he still doesn’t let me out after staying up for so long. There must be many people who don’t like me and are trying to trip me up on the Snow Emperor’s side!”
"Mr. Ye, you can't say that!"
Chen Jieji lowered his voice, "Let's not talk about earning face for those above. Even for the Snow Emperor's reward, we have to fight hard! It is said that this time the Snow Emperor took out a sixth-grade Snow Element Enhancement Pill.
, you only need to take one pill to reach the peak of the Divine Sovereign Realm, and it is a sure thing to break through to the Divine Pill Realm!"
"So awesome?"
Ye Fan was stunned and a little moved.
His cultivation growth has now slowed down, and he no longer rides the rocket momentum like before.
The only way to change this situation is to use pills.
There are also third-grade, sixth-grade, and ninth-grade elixirs. Ordinary third-grade elixirs, such as Jade Spirit Pill, have a high success rate for ordinary third-grade alchemists.
For some rare third-grade elixirs, even fourth-grade or even fifth-grade alchemists cannot guarantee a high success rate.
There are a lot of third-level alchemists like the Four-Eyed Dragon who can refine jade spirit pills.
But if you want to refine top-grade third-grade elixirs, I'm afraid there aren't many in the entire Lixue Kingdom.
The sixth-grade snow element enhancement pill that the Snow Emperor took out this time was a top-grade pill. He had obtained it from a seventh-grade alchemist in the Central Plains Region.
Originally, the Snow Emperor planned to leave it to his children, but the eldest prince and the others were still young, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to break through to the divine elixir realm within a few decades.
If we wait until that time, the medicinal properties of this elixir will be almost gone.
In order to take out the elixir before the potency of the elixir wore off, he reluctantly took it out as a reward for the leader of this civil and military competition.
