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

Seeing that Su Yanyuan ate the glutinous rice cake in his mouth, Jiang He's expression became extremely gentle, a smile appeared on his lips, and then he knelt down to plead guilty: "His Royal Highness doesn't care about his body, but his subordinates do. , the subordinates are willing to be punished."

Su Yanyuan said lightly: "Forget it, just this once, let's go."

Jiang He lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his lips: "Yes!"

Sacrifice is a very cumbersome ceremony. It starts with welcoming the gods, kneeling nine times to pay respects, offering blessings to the priests, and finally performing three offerings of incense.

Now the first item of the sacrificial ceremony is to welcome the gods. Emperor Jingwen walked up to the high platform slowly in costumes, and the priest then sent a torch. .

Several masked people danced around the burnt wood stove. They wore silver bell accessories on their hands and feet, and the accessories rang with their dancing movements. After a while, the masked people stopped dancing and opened their hands Form a circle in front of the burnt wood stove, raise your head and sing praises.

Su Jingning knelt in the crowd, staring curiously at the god welcoming ceremony on the high platform, and asked in a low voice, "What are they singing? I don't understand their language."

Lin Fengnian explained in a gentle tone: "They are using an ancient language. They are praising God's gratitude for nurturing all things in the world, and praying to heaven for the wish of the South Mirror to have a good weather and the people have enough food and clothing."

"You can even understand ancient Chinese?" Su Jingning couldn't help sighing.

Lin Fengnian raised his eyes to meet Su Jingning's star-like eyes, and a smile appeared between his brows: "I usually read a lot of miscellaneous books. Among them are books that record ancient Chinese language. I flipped through them in my spare time and learned a little bit."

As expected of the heroine's future man, he is really knowledgeable and talented.

"Get up!" The priest's high voice brought back Su Jingning's drifting thoughts.

Because of kneeling for too long, her legs were a little weak, and the cumbersome clothes were too heavy, Su Jingning suddenly stood up and her center of gravity was a little unstable, and she staggered and fell backwards.

When Su Jingning came to his senses, the expected pain of falling to the ground did not appear. He slowly opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was Lin Fengnian's worried eyes. Lin Fengnian's broad hands supported his shoulders, His back was leaning against Lin Fengnian's chest, and there was a thin layer of clothes between them. He faintly smelled a faint fragrance of coolness from Lin Fengnian's body.

Fortunately, Lin Fengnian was standing behind him at that time, and when he fell, he hurriedly stepped forward to support his figure, thus avoiding this disaster. Otherwise, it would be so dangerous to fall in full view shame.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

Su Jingning shook his head: "I'm fine, I just didn't stand firmly for a while."

The soft and delicate touch between the palms made him slightly dizzy, and for a moment, he was reluctant to let go.

"I've already stood firm." Su Jingning raised those peach blossom eyes looking forward to look at Lin Fengnian, wondering why he didn't let go of his hand?

Lin Fengnian's heart burned when he saw him, and the warmth in his palm also became hot. Lin Fengnian quickly let go of his hand, put his fist on his lips and coughed lightly, to calm himself down.

On the high platform, the priest held a stack of thick blessings and slowly read them. Su Jingning in the audience knelt on the ground, covered his mouth and yawned, his wide sleeves drooped down, revealing that he was Bright skin white in the sun.

Lin Fengnian looked at the dazzling white jade arms in front of his eyes, curled up his slender fingers slightly, and felt that the soft and delicate touch was still left on the fingertips.

After a long time, Su Jingning's slender and thick eyelashes drooped down, casting a light shadow, and her drooping head nodded, obviously falling asleep.

Suddenly, the exciting drum sounded again. Su Jingning was startled by the exciting drum sound, and slowly raised his head in confusion.

On the high platform, the thick blessing in the hands of the priest finally finished, and the last ones left were the three offerings of incense. First, Emperor Jingwen offered the first stick of incense, and then all the ministers offered three sticks of incense and bowed their hands three times. The ceremony will officially end.

When Su Jingning thought that the boring sacrificial ceremony was finally coming to an end, the drowsiness in his mind was immediately driven away, he straightened his back, and acted very seriously. If you haven't seen the way he dozed off just now, it looks really serious. Looks good.

Emperor Jingwen reached out to pick up the incense offered by the priest, and instead of going up to the incense burner in the center of the Temple of Heaven to offer incense, he turned around and walked down the jade steps, helped Su Yanyuan who was kneeling, and put the incense in his hand.

"Father? Why..." Su Yanyuan looked at the incense in his hand in a panic.

Emperor Jingwen nodded slightly, and said softly: "Go, sooner or later it will be handed over to you."

Su Yanyuan was only confused for a moment, and immediately stabilized his mind, picked up the long incense in his hand, and stepped up the jade steps with a calm demeanor. The breeze blew gently, his black hair fluttered in the wind, and his tall figure was as slender as bamboo. .

The faces of the ministers under the high platform were all different. Because of the third incense ceremony, according to the ancestral system, the first stick of incense was offered by His Majesty, which showed the respect of the emperor's pure heart to heaven. Your Majesty asked His Royal Highness to offer incense on his behalf. It shows that the position of heir is a foregone conclusion.

Someone in the crowd whispered: "I heard that His Majesty has already asked the Crown Prince to handle political affairs on his behalf. From this, it seems that His Majesty has the heart to abdicate to let the virtuous, and His Highness the Crown Prince is not far away from taking the throne."

"Shhh, how can you talk nonsense about the enthronement, be careful what comes out of your mouth, and the imperial edict is still undecided, what can these explain?"

A minister stroked his beard and said slowly: "His Royal Highness King An is playful and unseemly. His Royal Highness Yi Wang has not done much in recent years. , Concubine Li once murdered the empress, so it seems that it is the best choice for His Royal Highness to inherit the throne."

All the ministers nodded in agreement.

Su Yuheng clenched his hands tightly. Because he was holding them too hard, traces of blood overflowed from his fingers, and fell drop by drop on the jade floor. He stared at the figure on the high platform, his eyes were covered with shadows, and his expression was full of coldness. .

The father is really partial, all the roads are paved for Su Yanyuan, and Su Yanyuan is asked to offer incense under the eyes of everyone, is it just to announce to everyone that he, Su Yanyuan, is the one who will be crowned in the future, and he also knocked on him from the sidelines Reminded him not to covet the throne.

Is it because his father noticed his recent actions in court?But why?Why can't he be the one who inherits the throne?Father left the throne to Su Yanyuan, and his favor to Su Jingning, but he once left me half a cent, why can't he fight for it?

Since the father is ruthless to him, don't blame him for not caring about the relationship between father and son. If the father doesn't want to pass on the throne to him, he will take it by himself and fight for it by himself!Su Yanyuan and Su Jingning are nothing, I will trample on them hard and crush them bit by bit.

At night, the snowflakes that had stopped for a day fell from the sky one after another, and once again covered the earth that had melted away with snow. Red lanterns were lit everywhere in Prince An's Mansion, and after a while, patches of red stars lit up. fire.

A maid climbed up the wooden ladder, holding a big red lantern in her hand, lowered her head and asked, "Sister Ye'er, can you see if the lantern is hung up?"

Ye'er stood under the eaves, looking up, there were big red lanterns hanging under the eaves fluttering in the cold wind, revealing a red halo.

Ye'er nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, come down quickly, don't fall."

The maid slowly climbed down the wooden ladder, looked at the swaying red lanterns in front of her, and asked puzzledly, "Sister Ye'er, why does Your Highness want the palace to be filled with red lanterns?"

Ye Er said with a smile: "Your Highness thinks that Prince An's Mansion looks too deserted. New Year's Eve is a day to say goodbye to the old and usher in the new. It should be lively, so he ordered us to hang up red lanterns to celebrate the festivities. Also, Your Highness promises that you don't have to wait on us today. Now, let you have a good New Year and be happy."

Hearing this, the maid immediately burst into joyful smiles: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness is so kind."

At the same time, Su Jingning put down the notebook in his hand out of boredom, put on a big cloak and walked slowly to the window. Outside the window, white snowflakes were flying all over the sky, and the lanterns hanging high in the yard were blurred by the flying snowflakes. Red dots.

The cold wind brought snow into the house, Su Jingning gathered the cloak on her body, her eyes drooped slightly, this year's New Year's Eve seems to be colder than the previous years, how did the previous New Year's Eve come here?

On New Year's Eve in previous years, it was Xiao Jiugu who stayed in the house with me to watch the new year. At that time, he was just like now, reading a story book on the beauty's bed with a hand warmer in his arms, while Xiao Jiugu poured out for me. Pour tea or something.

This year he looked at the storybook as in previous years, why did he feel deserted?Could it be because Xiao Jiugu was missing?

Su Jingning shook his head, dispelled the tall and straight figure that appeared in his mind, and murmured: "How can I say, after living together for so many years, it's normal to not get used to it for a while, and I don't know how he lived in Beishuo? Listen Brother Yuan said that he seems to have become the prince, and he seems to be doing well."

However, how did he remember that Xiao Jiugu climbed up to the position of the prince, it seems to be half a year later, and Brother Yuan also said that Xiao Jiugu used thunder to balance with Qin Wang's faction. In the original plot, Xiao Jiugu has been hiding Strength, dormant in secret for a year, before the King Qin faction was eradicated.

During this dormant process, Xiao Jiugu has been oppressed by the King of Qin on the bright side, which is inconsistent with the described plot. It seems that the plot has collapsed again. Every time the plot comes to Xiao Jiugu, it is like a wild horse running wild Yes, gone forever.

There was a familiar sound of footsteps outside the corridor, Su Jingning quickly closed the doors and windows, walked quickly back to the beauty's couch, lifted the quilt and covered her lap, picked up the hand warmer on the table and stuffed it in her arms, picked up the notebook on the table and put it In front of his eyes, he pretended to be watching seriously.

The door was pushed open with a creak, and Ye'er walked in slowly with a wooden lacquer food box in his hand. He stopped in his tracks as soon as he entered the room, turned around and checked the windows in the room, and said suspiciously: "The windows are all closed. Seriously, why is it so cold in the house?"
