After rebirth, I became the widow of my mortal enemy

"I didn't expect to meet Lord Yan and Madam Yan here." Anyang ran up to Yan Mobai, unable to hide his excitement and love in his eyes.

Yan Mobai's eyebrows were cold, and he bowed slightly: "Your Highness."

Ning Miao, Yan Kunpeng, Chi Feng and Lan Ying also followed.

"Oh, don't be so polite outside," Anyang glued his eyes to Yan Mobai and asked him, "Are you here to see the lotus flowers too?"

"I'm on official business." Yan Mobai said indifferently.

Ning Miao also spoke up at the right time: "I came here to see the lotus, I have already seen it, and I have other things to do back home, so I will take my leave now."

After saying that, he bowed to Anyang and prepared to leave.

Yan Kunpeng also went with her.

Yan Mobai also opened his mouth: "I also have official business to attend to."

Seeing that everyone was about to leave, Anyang's face turned cold and he stamped his feet and said, "Stop right there!"

Everyone had to stop.

"None of you are allowed to leave!" Anyang ordered.

Ning Miao frowned slightly.

Yan Mobai's eyes turned cold, and he was about to speak, but Anyang didn't give him a chance and spoke before him.

"It's not my intention, it's my father's."

After saying that, he raised his hand and pointed in a direction: "Father is over there."

Everyone was startled and surprised, and looked in the direction she pointed.

In a long pavilion in the distance, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes was sitting upright, with two attendants standing on his left and right. One of them stood straight with a sword in his arms, while the other had his hands clasped and his head lowered in a servile manner.

Ning Miao's eyes narrowed slightly, it was indeed Emperor Zhaoqing.

The one next to him was Zhan Chan, the sword-bearing guard in front of the emperor, and the other was Wang Gonggong, the eunuch.

"I didn't lie to you, did I?" Anyang looked proud.

Yan Mobai pursed his lips, retracted his gaze, and spoke slowly: "I will go over there. Since they are not from the court, there is no need to..."

"Your Majesty is talking about everyone." Anyang interrupted him.

Although her father had never said this, she was determined to use the chicken feathers as a token of authority.

Who made these people not take her seriously? When she sees her father soon, won’t they all leave?

"Let's go." Anyang raised his chin and took the lead.

Yan Mobai looked at Ning Miao deeply, turned around, and walked slowly.

Red wind and blue shadow followed closely behind him.

Ning Miao and Yan Kunpeng walked at the end.

Yan Kunpeng was very nervous. He had never seen the emperor's holy face and never dreamed that he would meet him today.

As he walked, he leaned close to Ning Miao's ear and asked in a low voice, "Is everything going to be okay?"

Ning Miao tilted his head and moved closer to him, whispering, "Don't worry, it's okay."

When she pretended to be an assassin and assassinated Emperor Zhaoqing as ordered by King Kang, she was dressed as a man and had her face covered, so Emperor Zhaoqing should not have been able to recognize her.

Yan Kunpeng is an innocent scholar, so nothing will happen to him.

Yan Mobai turned around casually and saw the two of them whispering to each other.

A hint of coldness flashed across his eyes, and he looked away.

When they arrived at the long pavilion, Yan Mobai led everyone to prepare for the ceremony, but Emperor Zhaoqing raised his hand to stop them.

"I am traveling incognito, so there is no need to be polite, so as not to disturb the people."

"I heard from Anyang that the twin lotus flowers here have bloomed ahead of schedule, so I accompanied her to take a look at the excitement. I didn't expect to run into Lord Yan. Lord Yan is..."

"I heard that the bandits who robbed the disaster relief funds were active in the north of the city, so I came here to investigate."

Emperor Zhaoqing nodded and turned his gaze to Ning Miao and Yan Kunpeng: "Who are they?"

Ning Miao was about to reply when Yan Mobai spoke first: "My eldest sister-in-law, Ning, and my distant cousin."

Ning Miao lowered his head and looked submissive, being extremely respectful.

But I felt a little speechless.

This man took the initiative to introduce them, and he introduced them based on his relationship with him. She was grateful, but she shouldn't introduce Yan Kunpeng like this.

You may say he is not meticulous, but he even emphasizes distant relatives so clearly.

To say that she is delicate, she, a woman, has a surname, but Yan Kunpeng, a man, doesn't even have a given name.

In fact, becoming familiar to the emperor at this time would be of great benefit to the future imperial examinations. What a pity.

Emperor Zhaoqing looked at Ning Miao, who was wearing a light veil, and said, "I heard that the rouge used by the concubines in my harem was made by you. You are quite capable."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise." Ning Miao bowed humbly.

Anyang pointed to a wishing tree not far away and said to Yan Mobai, "Master Yan, I heard that the wishing tree is very effective. Let's go make a wish there."

Yan Mobai was about to say that he didn't believe in this when he heard Emperor Zhaoqing say, "Go ahead, all of you young people go. There is an auspicious sign today, so it must be even more effective."

Yan Mobai had no choice but to nod and accept the order.

"Let's go." Anyang was very happy as his wish came true.

Several people walked towards the wishing tree together.

The wishing tree is a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, hung with red wishing strips with wishes written on them.

There was a stall under the tree selling red cloth strips and pens and ink for people to use.

There were many people queuing up to make a wish.

Anyang took out some money and generously bought six strips of cloth, giving one to each person.

Write down your wishes.

Anyang thought for a while and wrote: [May the person I like also like me]

After finishing writing, he saw that Yan Mobai had already finished writing, so he came over curiously and said, "You finished it so quickly, what wish did Master Yan make?"

"May the country be peaceful and the people be prosperous." Yan Mobai avoided her approach, walked to the tree and hung the red cloth strip on the branch.

Anyang: “…”

Still not believing it, she went under the tree and looked up.

The five characters written in a flamboyant style mean that we wish the country peace and prosperity.

Anyang looked lost.

Here, Ning Miao, Yan Kunpeng, Chi Feng and Lan Ying had also written their wishes and hung them on the wishing tree.

Lan Ying was hanging up while secretly looking at what Chi Feng wrote.

Chi Feng hit him in the chest with his elbow to stop him from looking, but Lan Ying gave up with a playful smile.

While hanging up, Ning Miao glanced at Yan Mobai out of the corner of her eye and saw that he seemed to be looking in her direction.

She curled the corners of her lips slightly and tied the red cloth into a special knot.

"The emperor has left." Lan Ying said.

Everyone looked towards the pavilion.

The place where Emperor Zhaoqing had sat previously was no longer occupied.

Ning Miao spoke at the right time: "Your Highness, I have something else to do at home, so I'll take my leave now."

Anyang was eager for these annoying people to leave, leaving her and Yan Mobai alone, so she said "hmm".

Ning Miao glanced at Yan Mobai, and her eyes met his as he was looking at her, and they both looked away at the same time.

Ning Miao turned and left.

Yan Kunpeng also said goodbye afterwards.

After the two of them left, An Yang was just about to invite Yan Mobai to climb the tower next to him when he heard Yan Mobai say, "Your Highness, I have official duties to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

After saying that, he turned around without even waiting for her response.

Anyang frowned: "There's no rush."

"Official business is important and urgent." Yan Mobai said this without even turning his head.

Signaled to Chifeng Lanying: "Let's go."

Watching the master and his servants leave, Anyang was very angry.

-

Yan Mobai took Chifeng Lanying on horseback to other places in the north of the city, but naturally did not gain anything.

When they were about to return to the Dali Temple, Yan Mobai said to the two of them, "My handkerchief fell on the stall selling wishing strips. I'll go get it. You go back first."
