Dressed as a villain, I was coveted by the male protagonist

"Third brother, do you think that is sister Xia?"

Su Jingning looked in the direction Cong Yang pointed, there were two people standing in the gazebo, one of them was Xia Nianzhi, who was wearing a Misty Rain Bixia skirt.

Standing opposite her was a woman in her thirties, with a delicate appearance, wearing a plain snow satin dress, with a golden step hanging down from her temples, trembling because of the lady's large movements. .

Xia Nianzhi held a cup of tea in his hand, Yubai's fingers were red, it could be seen that the tea in the cup was hot, and the woman sat on the stool, gesticulating with her fingers from time to time, as if she was reprimanding something.

Su Jingning and the others stepped forward slowly, and the harsh voice from the pavilion gradually came.

"If it wasn't for you, my Wei Wei wouldn't have been driven to another village. How could I have let you come in the Winter Hunt this time? Don't think that you can be proud of being appreciated by the princess, why don't you just let me handle it?"

Xia Nianzhi's eyes drooped slightly, there was no expression on his face, and he didn't resist. It seemed that he was used to this kind of treatment, or had resisted, but nothing changed.

"Bold, who are you? How dare you make things difficult for someone here." After Su Congyang saw that it was Xia Nian who was being made difficult, she couldn't sit still because of her impatience, and immediately went to support Xia Nianzhi.

Seeing that it was Congyang, the woman stood up and saluted tremblingly: "Princess Congyang."

Cong Yang ignored the passing woman and refused to let the woman get up. He came straight to Xia Nianzhi and knocked off the teacup in her hand. The hot tea splashed on the woman, and she wailed a few times in a low voice. Voice.

Su Jingning also followed in, the woman looked up and saw Su Jingning was shocked, she quickly lowered her head and stammered: "An—His Royal Highness King An." The whole person was like a frightened bird.

Su Jingning glanced at the woman strangely, do I look scary?Why is he trembling so badly?

Cong Yang stretched out his hand to help Xia Nianzhi up, and when Cong Yang saw several large blisters scalded from that slender hand, he was even more furious: "Sister Xia, why did this person punish you like this?"

Xia Nianzhi said softly, "She is my father's concubine, Aunt Bai."

Su Congyang frowned: "A mere aunt dares to make things difficult for my daughter-in-law. She is so unscrupulous outside. Maybe she treats Sister Xia so harshly in the Xia Mansion."

"Princess Congyang is wronged. Just now, the women were just teaching Nian'er to obey the rules. Nian'er didn't follow the rules of men and women when he was outside. He had a good conversation with outside men. There are no rules at all. The women's women are doing it for Nian'er." Aunt Bai softly denied, wiping away unnecessary tears with a handkerchief from time to time, she still had the awe-inspiring look when she just reprimanded Xia Nianzhi.

There was a sneering smile on the corner of Xia Nianzhi's mouth, he said it was for my own good, but every word he said was ruining my reputation, seeing this gesture of pity for me, only my father would believe her one-sidedness word out.

Xia Nianzhi said indifferently: "The person I was talking to, the Princess, also knew her. He was the grandson who was my companion at the time. We were just chatting briefly. There were many people around. Why did my aunt say so? Unbearable."

It seems that the hostess is not doing very well in the Xia Mansion. A little aunt can deal with her daughter-in-law casually, and she doesn't restrain herself when she is out. It can be seen that she is always like this at home, but why do I think that Aunt Bai looks so familiar? But no matter how I think about it, I can't remember where I saw her.

Su Jingning stepped forward to take a closer look at her appearance. Aunt Bai was panicked by his gaze, she immediately lowered her head to avoid his sight.

Su Jingning's doubts were even worse. Aunt Bai was a little strange since she saw him for the first time: "Has this king seen you before? Why does this king look familiar to you?"

Aunt Bai's face was pale, and she tremblingly said: "His Royal Highness Wang An is distinguished, how could it be recognized by the women and the others, it is a great honor for the women to come to this winter hunting, this is the honor of the women This is the first time I met His Highness, the women dare not speak nonsense."

"Has the third brother seen her?"

Su Jingning shook his head: "I don't know, it looks familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere."

Su Congyang slapped the table hard, making Aunt Bai who was kneeling on the ground tremble in fright: "Don't distinguish between right and wrong, treat the prostitute harshly, pull her down and punish the ten boards."

Aunt Bai tugged at Xia Nianzhi's skirt and begged, "Nian'er, Auntie knows she's wrong, go and beg the princess to let Auntie go, I'm afraid that Auntie's body won't let her go if these ten boards are beaten down." I will stay in bed for ten days and half a month."

Xia Nianzhi squatted down, reached out and slowly pulled the skirt out of Aunt Bai's hands, and said in a low voice to Aunt Bai: "The princess's order, don't dare to follow it, I'm not a father, you're a little bit off I feel sorry for you even when I shed tears, so I will obediently stick to you, Aunt Punishment."

Aunt Bai's eyes widened when she heard the words, and she looked at Xia Nianzhi in disbelief. How could she, who has always been submissive, say such things? Could it be that she was just pretending to do everything before?

"You..." Aunt Bai was trembling with anger, her palm was about to fall on Xia Nianzhi's face, before she was knocked down by the guards beside her.

"You woman dare to fight in front of this princess and drag her down."

Aunt Bai struggled a few times, and retorted loudly: "Princess, it's Xia Nianzhi, she..."

The guards saw too many people who were unwilling to intercede, but the results were useless. Before Aunt Bai could finish speaking, she was forcibly dragged down by the guards at the side.

Su Jingning looked at the direction where Auntie Bai was being dragged down, her eyes flickered slightly, Auntie Bai seemed to be stimulated by something just now to suddenly hit the heroine, could it be...

Su Jingning turned her head to look at Xia Nianzhi, she seemed to be frightened by Aunt Bai just now, her eyes were reddish, full of shock, obviously frightened, maybe he was wrong.

Su Jingning hasn't said much since he just entered the pavilion, mainly because the heroine is in trouble, the hero should be left to the hero to save the beauty, but Xiao Jiugu doesn't know what's going on, don't When he said that he had rescued him, he didn't even give him a look. He was so sensible in front of him, but why did he turn into a piece of wood when it came to the heroine?

Seeing that the heroine's tears were about to overflow her eyes, Su Jingning winked at Xiao Jiu, signaling for him to behave well.

Xiao Jiugu strode forward, approaching Su Jingning's eyes, stroked the corners of his eyes with his knuckle hands, stared for a while, and asked softly, "Your Highness, are your eyes uncomfortable? Is there something flying?" went in?"

Su Jingning closed his eyes and took a deep breath, feeling a little headache, and after a while, forced a smile and said, "Hehehe, I'm fine."

Xiao Jiu hesitated to speak, why did he feel that His Highness seemed to be angry.

Su Congyang took out a handkerchief and handed it to Xia Nianzhi: "Sister Xia, is this Auntie Bai bullying you like this, does Master Xia not care?"

Xia Nianzhi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and shook his head lightly: "Father doesn't really bother with the affairs of the back house."

Su Jingning suddenly remembered the incident of the sunset. He heard that Xia Weiwei who caused him to fall into the water should have been executed. Later, Master Xia saved Xia Weiwei's life with the gold medal for avoiding death that the heroine's mother bought.

I'm afraid it's not that Lord Xia doesn't care much about the affairs of the back house. This Lord Xia's heart is obviously out of bounds, otherwise how could he let an aunt ride on the head of his daughter-in-law to do her best.

Su Congyang's face flushed with anger: "It's too much, next time I have to talk to Master Xia, sister Xia, don't think about these unhappy things, the winter hunting competition is about to start, let's go and see it together !"

Unpleasant things came suddenly and disappeared quickly, Xia Nianzhi also regained his smile and nodded slightly: "Okay."

Su Jingning and the others hurried towards the hunting ground, outside the hunting ground the participants in the winter hunting competition were ready.

Su Yanyuan, who was riding on a horse, looked around, saw Su Jingning and waved to him: "A Ning"

Su Jingning strode forward: "Brother Yuan."

"Where did Ah Ning go just now? The game is about to start, and I'm trying to send someone to find you."

Su Yuheng sneered, and his voice was full of contempt: "Brother, why are you looking for him? Even if he is not the bottom of the list every year after participating, it's better to be a little self-aware and obediently stay in the palace so as not to shame yourself."

Su Yanyuan frowned: "No one will treat you as dumb if you don't speak."

"What's the matter? It's just telling the truth, big brother won't let people talk about it."

Su Jingning was not annoyed when he heard the words, and replied lightly: "Everyone knows that my countdown to the winter hunting competition is well known. There is really nothing wrong with it. Why don't you lend me the guards around you, second brother? In the winter hunting competition, I can stand out just like you."

Although Su Yuheng failed to get the first place in the winter hunting every year, he was still in the top few. It was not because of his outstanding archery skills, but because he cheated by taking the prey hunted by the guards around him as his own, and others didn't know about it. , who is familiar with the plot, can he not know?

Su Yuheng lost his footing when he heard the words, and kept looking around with his small eyes, afraid of being heard, he yelled guiltyly: "You are talking nonsense."

"Second Brother, what nonsense am I talking about? I didn't say anything! Could it be that Second Brother..." Su Jingning narrowed her peach eyes, pretending to be very surprised.

Su Yuheng immediately realized that he had been tricked by Su Jingning. Su Yuheng's face turned dark instantly, his teeth were gritted. He suppressed the anger in his heart, snorted coldly, and rode away.

Su Yanyuan asked suspiciously: "How did Ah Ning know that he was cheating on Winter Hunting?"

Su Jingning touched the tip of his nose, and said vaguely: "I found out by chance." It can't be said that it was expected by pinching fingers, right?

Emperor Jingwen stood on the high platform and said loudly: "The rules of winter hunting are the same as in previous years. The one with the most prey wins. The prize for this winter hunting is a red agate red bird dagger." Emperor Jingwen waved his hand.

The palace maid held a brocade-covered tray with both hands and slowly walked up, and lifted the brocade cover, and the dagger on the tray quickly attracted everyone's attention.

The dagger is about a foot long. The blade of the dagger is made of extremely tough black gold. The handle and scabbard are mainly made of golden nanmu, carved with patterns of auspicious clouds, and then inlaid with patterns of Suzaku birds outlined by gold silk. The red agate is the finishing touch, shining brightly against the white snow.

In the crowd, someone exclaimed: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the last work of Master Mu before his death. I didn't expect His Majesty to be willing to take it out as a prize."
