On the night of the broken engagement, the paranoid prince came to me crying and asking for my statu

Most of the people in the Yuan Dynasty believed in gods.

They also believed that their good weather and good harvests were not only due to the emperor's governance, but also inseparable from the blessing of Houji, the god of grain.

According to legend, this parade was started by the grain god Houji who personally appeared in a dream to Emperor Taizu, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, telling him that he liked festivities and that if he could come down to earth to witness the prosperity and peace of the world, he would bless the people of the Yuan Dynasty with plenty of food and clothing.

Taizu was overjoyed, and immediately issued an imperial decree to hold a temple fair at the Huguo Temple. He also invited an expert to choose an auspicious day and suitable young men to carry the sedan chair for the Grain God.

Since then, there has been a seven-day parade of gods before the Dragon Boat Festival after the spring planting every year.

In order to better display their enthusiasm, the lovely people even spontaneously set the rules for the parade: the parade is held during the day on odd days and at night on even days.

In the Yuan Dynasty, famine is rare in places where people believe in the god of grain...

Apart from...

Thinking that there was still a big trouble in Yancheng, Su Sui'an hugged Rong Xian back and gradually tightened the strength of his hands.

But the moment Su Sui'an started to comfort him, Rong Xian had already stood there in a daze.

The woman's voice was gentle, but it weighed more than a thousand pounds in his ears.

The words “Don’t be afraid” were the biggest reassurance he received after his rebirth.

There was a buzz of people around.

At this moment, the woman's voice was still echoing in his ears.

"Xiao Rong, don't be afraid, just keep moving forward. Even if the world is full of malice towards you, don't forget that I am still behind you."

A slightly vicissitudes of life voice overlapped with the woman's now soft and gentle voice. Rong Xian felt that his chest was filled with a sense of satisfaction, and even his eyes were involuntarily sour. His slender arms trembled as he hugged the woman in his arms tighter.

The sudden hug and a strange fragrance mixed with the scent of agarwood lingered in Su Sui'an's nose.

Su Sui'an instinctively wanted to push him away, but not only were the boy's hands trembling slightly when he hugged her, his body also seemed very tense.

The compassion that she had suppressed with great difficulty surged up again.

Thinking of the inhuman humiliation he had just suffered, Su Sui'an sighed silently, and his original move of pushing him away turned into a hug, and he did not forget to pat his back soothingly.

It seemed as if they were the only two left in the world.

The intertwined body temperatures seemed to raise the temperature of the surrounding air.

The sound of his heavy but irregular heartbeat came into his ears, and the lingering fragrance of agarwood lingered between his nostrils. Su Sui'an's ears were unconsciously stained with a layer of red blush, and even his own heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably.

I don't know when the crowd followed the procession to other villages.

The surroundings returned to silence. The two people hugging each other in the crowd seemed to be unaware of anything. Su Sui'an's mind was blank and he didn't know what the world was.

Until the sound of frogs croaking could be heard clearly from not far away.

A breeze carrying dew blew by, and Su Sui'an felt a slight chill on his back.

Her wandering rationality returned, and she woke up as if from a dream, and quickly pushed Rong Xian away.

It was not known whether it was due to inertia or because she felt guilty, but when Rong Xian was pushed, she did not step back, but she took two big steps back instead.

The red and hot cheeks under the reflection of the silver moonlight added a bit of ambiguity to the cold night.

Even though he had let go of Rong Xian's hand, Su Sui'an's hand still retained the touch of the time when he hugged the boy.

I originally thought that Rong Xian was a scholar, and he must be thin and light when I held him in my arms. I never expected that under his clothes, this thin body was so strong.

If Su Sui'an had not detected the internal force fluctuations in Rong Xian's body before, she would have suspected at this moment whether this person was hiding something from her.

In a blink of an eye, she saw Rong Xian's clothes were disheveled, and his porcelain-white face was full of embarrassment. His eyes, which looked affectionate even to dogs, were now red. He looked at her with wet eyes, full of helplessness, as if he was a young animal abandoned by its owner.

Su Sui'an's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but comfort her, "Don't cry, I'm here, I won't stand by and watch you die, why are you crying?"

As if he had grasped a life-saving straw, the tears in the boy's eyes instantly disappeared, and he looked at Su Sui'an with eyes full of hope, "Really? Miss Su will really help me?"

As soon as he said that, Su Sui'an regretted it.

Protecting him means confronting the Ninth Prince.

Behind the Ninth Prince is the Prince of Dingbei...

Su Sui'an opened his mouth slightly, but when he met the boy's expectant eyes, he couldn't say no.

"Miss Su, you...you don't dislike me?"

As if he was worried, Rong Xian asked again in a low voice.

That cautious look, coupled with his pure and beautiful facial features and well-behaved expression, made Su Sui'an's sanity, which had finally returned, go away again.

She got excited and nodded heavily with gritted teeth, "I don't mind."

The young man's face lit up with joy, and he was about to say thank you.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and the joy on his face disappeared.

Pursing her lips and lowering her head, she said, "No, I still can't implicate Miss Su."

Seeing him struggling, Su Sui'an couldn't help but reach out and tap his forehead, "I've already said I'll help you, but now you're asking if it's a problem or not, isn't it a little late?"

When this light move appeared, even Su Sui'an herself was shocked - her hands seemed out of her control...

Rong Xian didn't notice Su Sui'an's shock, he just kept shaking his head and smiled bitterly, "If I hadn't accepted anything from the Ninth Prince, maybe Miss Su would have helped him, and His Majesty would have let me go for Miss Su's sake. Unfortunately..."

Rong Xian saw the smoke in Su Sui'an's eyes, and forced a smile that was uglier than crying, "I didn't know my sister actually accepted the land deed given by the Ninth Prince. I'm afraid that if I want to escape, the Ninth Prince will not allow it, not to mention..."

"Land deed?"

Su Sui'an immediately captured the information he wanted.

The suspicion towards Rongxian's "sister and brother" was also because of the land deed.

Her eyes darkened, and she pretended to be curious and asked, "If you really want to reject the Ninth Prince, the land deed must be returned. Will your sister be reluctant to do so?"

Rong Xian shook his head again.

Looking up, he saw a stone block under a big tree not far away. He simply pulled Su Sui'an to sit down next to the stone block. In order to prevent the dust on the stone block from dirtying Su Sui'an's clothes, he took off his torn outer robe and put it on the stone block. He then sat side by side with Su Sui'an wearing only a light gray middle shirt.

Looking from afar, in the dim night, two figures, one tall and one short, were sitting together under a tree, looking like a pair of lovers whispering to each other.

Yi Zhi and Yi Fan saw this ambiguous scene from a distance.

The two men looked at each other, and tacitly held their breath and hid in the haystack, just in case their master "played" with a fire.

"Why don't you tell me? If you don't, how can I help you solve the problem?"

Su Sui'an held his chin with both hands, looking concerned.

In her heart, she was secretly estimating how long it would take her men to throw the Ninth Prince into the back alley, and she was also secretly thinking about how to shift the blame for harming the heir to the Duke of Gu's Mansion or the Marquis of Changping's Mansion...

She was thinking about how to escape, but for some reason tonight, her eyes kept looking disobediently towards Rong Xian.

If she wanted Rong Xian to get away with it, she had a bad idea that was not very glorious, but she didn't know if Rong Xian was still willing to cooperate with her in playing a trick...
