Su Jingning slowly moved to Lin Fengnian's side, and said in a low voice, "Don't you live the life of idle clouds and wild cranes? You don't want to be bound by any rules and regulations, don't you like intrigues in the officialdom?"

"Since this is the case, why do you go against your own heart and live a life you don't want?"

Although Lin Fengnian is full of talent, if such a talent stays in the court, he will definitely be able to make a difference in the Nanjing court, but he hopes that Lin Fengnian will choose from his heart and do what he wants to do, rather than change for others I lost my original intention.

Hearing this, Lin Fengnian was stunned. How does His Highness know that he has the same heart as the wild crane and the dust? Knowing that he doesn't like the court's intrigues, even his father doesn't understand why he doesn't enter the court to serve the country because of his talent. His father quarreled with him several times over this.

I thought His Highness, as a prince, would have the same thoughts as his father, but His Highness told him not to go against his own wishes and follow his own choice. He did not regret going against his original intention and staying in court.

Just because of the glimpse on the Yingyue Bridge, His Highness smiled like a serene spring pear blossom, pure as the first snow that day, he wanted to get closer to His Highness, if Wild Crane and Chen Yuan were the original intentions, then His Highness It is his heart now.

Lin Fengnian looked at Su Jingning fixedly, and smiled at him: "How does Your Highness know that this is not the life I want now? I took the imperial examination and entered the imperial court, all of which were done according to my own heart. "Just to get closer to His Highness.

Su Jingning asked tentatively, "Mr. Lin, did you take the imperial examination for a certain talent?"

"Yes." Lin Fengnian nodded slightly, his eyes filled with tender affection.

Su Jingning raised the corner of his mouth and nodded. It seems that Lin Fengnian and the female lead are already on the mend. The male lead line has completely collapsed. Fortunately, the relationship between the male lead and the female lead is still alive.

Without the male lead and the male supporting role vying for the female lead, it is not a matter of minutes for the male supporting role, let alone such a good man with both civil and military skills, Lin Fengnian, work harder, the emotional line in the plot depends on you alone The banner is raised.

Su Jingning clasped his hands and said: "Then hereby, I would like to congratulate Lin Zhuangyuan, who was named on the gold list and topped the list. The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day."

Lin Fengnian cupped his hands in return, looking at Su Jingning, his expression softened, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Su Yanyuan said softly at the side: "A'Ning, you have been on leave for two months to recuperate in Prince An's Mansion, you should be in good health, shouldn't it be time to go to court to deal with business?"

The smile on the corners of Su Jingning's lips froze. In fact, brother Yuan mentioned this to him as early as a month ago, but he kept evading it, trying to prevaricate what hurts today and what hurts tomorrow.

As long as the morning court time can be pushed back a little bit, he will not be so resistant. Getting up at three o'clock in the morning every morning to go to the morning court, even modern social animals dare not fight like this.

Seeing that he was so resistant to the early court, Yuan brother felt helpless, so he turned a blind eye and acquiesced to the palace for his recuperation. There were complaints, and some people even wrote to impeach him, although Emperor Jingwen ignored all the memorials to impeach him.

Su Jingning pulled up Su Yanyuan's wide sleeves and swayed them left and right. The silver bell tassels on his body made a clear and clear voice as he swayed from side to side: "Brother Yuan, can you give me a few more days? Obediently go to morning court."

Hearing this, Lin Fengnian was about to say something, but before he could speak, Su Yanyuan gave him a look and stopped him.

Su Yanyuan chuckled lightly: "Okay, it happens that Yuanzheng rests until the seventh day of the lunar new year. You have fun these days, and then you will go to the morning court. Don't make any more excuses."

Su Jingning paused for a moment with his hand grasping the sleeve, and then realized that he had been tricked. Yuanzheng is the modern Spring Festival, and it is a rare holiday for officials not to go to court. From the day of Yuanzheng to the seventh day of the new year, these days he had been He didn't have to go to court, and he foolishly begged Brother Yuan for a few more days.

"A'Ning, follow me, I have something to tell you." Su Yanyuan pulled him to the main hall of the Temple of Heaven.

The main hall of the Temple of Heaven is the place where the tablets of the emperors of past dynasties are placed. As soon as Su Jingning stepped into the hall, he smelled a strong smell of incense.

The hall is quiet and bright. On the incense table on the high platform stands the tablets of ancestors and emperors. A lotus flower lamp is placed in front of the tablets. Countless incense sticks are inserted in the golden tripod incense burner, and the smoke is filling the air.

Su Jingning asked suspiciously: "Brother Yuan, the sacrificial ceremony is about to begin, why did you bring me here?"

Su Yanyuan looked a little stern, and said in a deep voice, "The main hall of the Temple of Heaven is relatively quiet. I have sent Jiang He to guard outside. I have something to ask you. Tell me honestly, is Xiao Jiugu no longer in Prince An's Mansion? "

It seems that Brother Yuan already knew that Xiao Jiugu was the prince of Beishuo, so he didn't need to hide it.

Su Jingning lowered his eyelashes and nodded, "Xiao Jiugu disappeared two months ago."

Su Yanyuan frowned: "Did Xiao Jiugu tell you where he went? Did he tell you his identity?"

Su Jingning shook his head: "Xiao Jiugu left me a letter, which said that he has a personal matter to deal with and will not be back until some time later. His identity? What is his identity?"

What he told Brother Yuan was the truth, Xiao Jiugu did not mention his identity as Prince Beishuo in the letter.

Su Yanyuan glanced at him complicatedly, his eyes were full of distress, and that distressed gaze looked at him, as if he was cheated of money and sex by someone.

"As early as a month ago, I received a letter from my uncle. On the way back, there was an extra person in the team of Beishuo envoys. Xu Rongxuan discovered that this person was Xiao Jiugu, the guard in your mansion. In order to prove his identity, Xu Rongxuan searched The name of a criminal forced him to get out of the carriage, and unexpectedly learned that Xiao Jiugu was the long-lost only son of King Beishuo."

"I've been wanting to talk to you about this for a month, but I haven't been able to find an opportunity to talk about it. A few days ago, I received a secret report that Beishuo has changed a lot recently. Within a short period of time, he grasped the power left to him by King Beishuo, and then he struck while the iron was hot and was named the crown prince."

"Xiao Jiugu went from being suppressed by the Qin King's faction to being equal to the Qin King's faction in a short period of time by using thunderous means. It can be seen that Xiao Jiugu is meticulous and deep in the city."

"Ah Ning, how many times did you beg me for him? Otherwise, the time he hurt you, his life would have been gone long ago, and the day of winter hunting, when he treated you like he was in the deep pit, This time, as a guard of Prince An's Mansion, he defected from the mansion privately, and you hid him for him."

"You love him so deeply, but what about him, Xiao Jiugu? Before he left, he never revealed his identity to you. This shows that he doesn't have you in his heart at all. Your brother who likes men doesn't care about you, but Xiao Jiu I don't care if it's worth your entrustment."

"Aside from the identities of the two countries, Xiao Jiugu's mansion is deep, and my brother suspected that Xiao Jiugu used it to deceive you at the beginning. You are pure-hearted, Aning, and this person is not suitable for you."

Su Jingning tried his best to suppress the corners of his mouth that were about to twitch, his stomach was full of words that he wanted to clarify and his throat was blocked and he couldn't speak.

Three years ago, after his hand was bitten by Xiao Jiugu, Brother Yuan was so angry that he wanted to take Xiao Jiugu's life. Brother Xiangyuan has always believed in this.

Seeing Brother Yuan staring at him with worried eyes, he couldn't tell Brother Yuan at this time, he would have lied to him if he said that he cared about Xiao Jiugu at that time, if Brother Yuan found out, I'm afraid Xiao Jiugu His little life is saved, but his little life is not guaranteed.

A trace of sadness flashed in Su Jingning's eyes, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, when he raised his eyes, misty mist gathered in his clear eyes, he bit his lips to restrain his crying, and said, "Brother Yuan, Xiao Jiu deceived me At this point, I don't like him anymore, the sacrificial ceremony is about to start, I'll go out first."

He had to walk through the hole he dug on his knees, and now he just wanted to get out of Brother Yuan's sight as soon as possible, he was afraid that if he stayed here for a while, he would not be able to help laughing out loud.

"Go." Su Yanyuan sighed softly, Ah Ning was so emotional, did he just let it go, this child probably wanted to find a corner to cry.

Su Yanyuan thought of the culprit who made Ah Ning sad, his face that was still as warm as jade just now was instantly covered with frost.

Jiang He opened the door of the hall and came in, and saw Su Yanyuan standing quietly in front of the incense burner, meditating, with a green bamboo jade hairpin inserted between his silk-like long black hair, making his skin white as snow, and the smoke from the incense burner, hazy Zhang Qingya has a gentle appearance.

Su Yanyuan stretched out his fair and slender fingers to gently move the smoke floating in the air. Jiang He's eyes were dim, and he felt that the finger that seemed to be carved from white jade was not moving the smoke, but like wisps of spring wind moving him. Heartstrings.

Jiang He lowered his thick black eyelashes to cover the turmoil in his eyes, and said respectfully, "His Royal Highness, the sacrificial ceremony is about to begin."

"Well, let's go." Su Yanyuan turned around slowly, and was about to leave.

After Jiang He got up, he stretched out his hand to block Su Yanyuan's way; "Your Highness, wait a moment."

Su Yanyuan stopped immediately, and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"

Jiang He took out a paper package from his arms, opened the package, and inside the paper package were several pieces of glutinous rice cakes that Su Yanyuan loved to eat. Not only did the glutinous rice cake not fall apart, but it was also kept warm.

"Your Highness, the sacrificial ceremony will take several hours. It's better to eat some snacks to cushion your stomach, so as not to starve your body to death."

Su Yanyuan glanced at the dim sum in Jiang He's hand, and frowned slightly: "I don't need it, the ancestral precepts cannot be violated, since you are a first-time offender, I don't mind, you take the dim sum..."

Before Su Yanyuan finished speaking, a piece of soft, glutinous and sweet glutinous rice cake was stuffed into his slightly parted lips. The glutinous rice cake, which was not too big or small, just happened to be stuffed into his mouth. Su Yanyuan didn't want to waste food, so he frowned. I swallowed the glutinous rice cake in my mouth
