The Rebirth of a Daughter: My Lord, I Will Never Be a Concubine

The dignified Princess of Yan was as beautiful as a blooming peony, radiant and graceful. Simply standing there, she shone like a ray of brilliant light, instantly capturing the attention of everyone present.

Following closely behind was Mo Cerong from Yunqin. He was dressed in a black brocade robe, meticulously embroidered with golden patterns. These patterns, faintly visible, resembled twinkling stars in the night sky, a figure not only elegant and unique but also evocative of his noble nobility. He was tall and straight, with an imposing bearing, especially his thick, sword-like eyebrows, which were intimidating and terrifying. Just one glance at him was enough to fill one with dread.

Beside Mo Cerong walked a mysterious woman, wearing a veil on her head and a graceful figure, her snow-white dress dancing lightly in the wind. She looked like a fairy from the mortal world, graceful and charming.

As these important figures appeared one after another, the previously boisterous crowd gradually quieted down, and the whispers of people gradually faded. At this moment, the entire scene became unusually quiet, with only the occasional sound of bells ringing from the surrounding palace walls being clearly audible—dong...dong... This steady and melodious sound seemed to penetrate the soul and deeply imprint itself on everyone's heart.

.........

"Yan Hua, why don't you go?" Nalan Linglong asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Could it be that you don't want to see my brother..."

"No," Su Yanhua shook her head in denial. In fact, the person she really didn't want to see wasn't Nalan Yanyu.

However, she found it difficult to explain this reason to Linglong. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately chose to close it silently, swallowing all the words back into her stomach.

But when Nalan Linglong saw her hesitation, she became more determined.

"Yan Hua, isn't brother intentionally distancing himself from you? After brother figures it out in a few days, he'll come find you!"

"Distant?" Su Yanhua was stunned.

"Do you think he's been distancing himself from me these past few days?"

She and Nalan Yanyu were friends for life, they had been through some dark days together, and they were comrades who helped each other in times of need. She understood that Nalan would be dissatisfied with her behavior in the past few days, but the word "estranged" was too hurtful!

"Uh—" Nalan Linglong squeaked in confusion.

She clearly wanted to persuade Su Yanhua not to think too much, but it seems like she messed it up!

"I'd better go outside and take a look at the recruitment meeting!" Nalan Linglong smiled helplessly and slipped out.

.........

Yan Jinyao, dressed in a gorgeous long dress, sat elegantly on a high platform. Her beautiful eyes, gleaming like stars, moved gently, carefully scanning every corner of her surroundings, but she could not find the figure that haunted her dreams.

She turned her head slightly and asked the maid beside her softly, "I heard that Master Xing would also be coming today, why don't I see him here?"

The maid replied respectfully, "My lady, I did hear that Master Xing has arrived. Perhaps he encountered some delay along the way and hasn't arrived yet."

Upon hearing this, Yan Jinyao gently lowered her eyes, which were as charming as autumn water. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly like butterfly wings, just enough to cover the subtle loss and melancholy in her eyes. She remained silent and just sat quietly, as if the surrounding clamor had nothing to do with her.

At the same time, Mo Cerong stood tall in the crowd, as eye-catching as a crane among chickens. His deep, sharp eyes quickly scanned the crowd before him, but everywhere he looked were unfamiliar faces.

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart: I wonder if she has come here too? What if I could really meet her here?

Just as Mo Celong was lost in thought, a woman standing behind him asked curiously, "Your Highness, you seem to be looking for someone? What's the important matter?" As she spoke, she looked in the direction Mo Celong had just been looking, but apart from the guests coming and going, there was nothing special.

Mo Cerong turned his head expressionlessly and responded coldly: "Nothing."

Then, without saying anything more, he walked towards the seat on the left with his long legs and slowly sat down.

His brief and cold words were like a gust of cold wind, instantly dispelling the woman's original peace of mind. She slowly raised her head, her beautiful eyes wide open, revealing a hint of hardness that was difficult to conceal.

At this time, Nalan Yanyu, who was sitting on the main seat, was wearing a green robe with fluttering sleeves, which made him look more graceful and elegant. His jade-like face was wearing a gentle and kind smile, which made people feel good.

Nalan Yanyu smiled and said, "I didn't know that Prince Mo was coming. I'm really sorry for not welcoming you. I hope Your Majesty won't blame me."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present began to whisper to each other, saying, "The show is finally about to begin!"

"Prince Nalan is busy organizing the recruitment meeting, so he's naturally a very busy man. How could this king be someone who doesn't know the rules of etiquette?"

There was a hidden dagger in Mo Cerong's words, and there was a hint of anger in his voice.

Come to think of it, you killed many of Yunqin's soldiers, made the emperor faint from anger, and even abandoned Princess Qinghe. How can you expect others not to care?

But who is Nalan Yanyu? If it were someone else, they would have been embarrassed, but he was still as cheerful as ever, and did not even lower his raised lips.

"Prince Mo, you're joking. No matter how busy I am, I will take care of Yunqin's guests. After all, I am also a Yunqin person. Yunqin has shown me great kindness, and I will never forget it!"

Look, a shameless person appeared, his tone full of sarcasm. To Yun Qin, who robbed your entire family, you said that he was a great favor and you will never forget it, but this revenge is quite unforgettable!

Everyone: The battle between masters is dazzling to watch!

The two people's sarcasm ended here. Nalan Yanyu knew the purpose of this and winked at Wu'er.

Wu'er stepped forward and began to explain the rules.
