The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

Xue Jinhua's mind was still occupied by the news that Ling Yan had come to southern Xinjiang. Her emotions were surging like the tide and she could not calm down.

Even though she was facing Ximei at the moment, she still tried her best to suppress the surging emotions in her heart.

Ximei, who was standing by, keenly noticed something strange about Xue Jinhua, and a hint of doubt arose in her heart.

She stepped forward cautiously and asked, "Mrs. Xue, are you feeling unwell?"

However, Xue Jinhua just shook her head subconsciously and responded softly: "I'm not feeling unwell anywhere, I just feel a little tired, you can leave first."

Ximei opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but when she saw Xue Jinhua's slightly impatient expression and the movement of turning her back to her, she swallowed the words back.

She quietly left the room and closed the door softly.

However, after Ximei walked out of the room, the doubts in her heart did not disappear.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. The lady's behavior today was too abnormal.

After hesitating for a moment, Ximei walked towards the corner where Xue Jinhua had stood just now almost without thinking.

However, when Ximei carefully inspected the surroundings, she did not notice anything unusual.

She was convinced that perhaps Mrs. Xue was just lying in bed resting because she was too tired, so she stopped thinking about it.

But she had no idea that even though Xue Jinhua was already lying on the bed, she tossed and turned and still couldn't fall asleep.

She gently stroked her bulging belly, her heart filled with eager anticipation that Ling Yan would come to greet her as soon as possible.

At this time, the city of Nanjiang was bustling with people.

It turned out that the Jin emperor's personal visit to southern Xinjiang was undoubtedly an earth-shaking event for the people there.

Not to mention that the entire city was crowded with people, even the officials in southern Xinjiang were excited and emotional.

Meng Jincheng personally led the royal family of Southern Xinjiang out of the city to welcome them.

When the Jin Emperor's carriage approached, Meng Jincheng was the first to bow and salute, and shouted loudly: "Greetings to the Emperor of Jin, long live the Emperor!"

You know, Nanjiang is just a subsidiary city, and when the emperor of Jin comes here, it is naturally like the supreme emperor in their minds.

Therefore, except for the royal family members of Southern Xinjiang and Meng Jincheng, who did not need to perform the kneeling ceremony, everyone else had to kneel and kowtow to pay homage.

Ling Yan got off the carriage gracefully. His posture was as straight as a pine tree, and his gorgeous clothes made his temperament even more extraordinary.

He slowly glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, a gentle and humble smile appeared on his face, and he said softly, "Everyone, stand up."

Although the voice was not loud, it carried an irresistible majesty.

Meng Jincheng, who was standing aside, stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Majesty, please move into the city." Ling Yan nodded slightly to show his agreement.

At this time, the city lord's wife and Meng Jinyao, who were not far away, were staring at everything that was happening here.

Meng Jinyao secretly marveled at Ling Yan's demeanor, but she quickly came to her senses.

In contrast, the city lord's wife seemed a little out of control. She opened her eyes wide and her mouth slightly open, as if she couldn't believe what she saw.

It was not until this moment that the city lord's wife completely believed what Xue Jinhua had said before.

It turned out that Madam Xue really looked down upon her own city lord and had no intention of competing with him for the position of the city lord's wife.

Because the emperor in front of him was so outstanding. Not only was he extremely handsome and charming, but he also had a noble status and great power.

If I had such an outstanding husband, I would never have any second thoughts, let alone betray him.

Thinking of this, the city lord's wife couldn't help but curse the city lord in her heart.

This city lord is so bold! He dared to kidnap Mrs. Lu in front of the Emperor of Jin. He is so bold!

If the emperor knew that Xue Jinhua was in the palace, the consequences would be disastrous...

Just thinking about it, the city lord's wife felt a chill all over her body, and she couldn't help but get goose bumps all over her body.

Although the City Lord's wife was usually meticulous and thoughtful, for the inexperienced Meng Jinyao, everything that was happening before her eyes was simply beyond imagination!

Before this, she had secretly imagined what the Jin emperor looked like, but no matter how hard she racked her brains, she could never have imagined that the emperor was so handsome.

Even though Meng Jinyao had lived in Nanjiang City for so many years and had seen all kinds of people, she had never seen someone with such outstanding looks.

At this moment, her heart, which had been as calm as water, seemed to be thrown into it by a huge rock, instantly causing a thousand waves.

The thoughts in my mind surged like the tide, beating uncontrollably and accelerating, as if they were about to burst out of my chest.

At this moment, Meng Jinyao was extremely certain in her heart that she had fallen deeply in love with the Emperor from the State of Jin.

At this time, Ling Yan calmly instructed his servants to hand the gift to Meng Jincheng, and said slowly: "This is just a small gift from me, not a token of respect."

Meng Jincheng took the gift box, opened it, and found that it was full of top-quality angelica.

Seeing this, a look of joy appeared on his face.

After all, no matter what, the emperor finally kept his promise and did not go back on his word.

So, Meng Jincheng hurriedly thanked him and said, "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty. I am grateful!"

The emperor smiled slightly, his eyes sparkling with curiosity and admiration. "I have heard many times before that the Southern Border is prosperous and bustling. Today I personally visited it and it is indeed worthy of its reputation! With such a magnificent scene, I think that City Lord Meng must have spent a lot of effort and energy in governing the Southern Border over the years."

Meng Jincheng frowned slightly upon hearing this, but soon regained his composure and responded respectfully: "Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment. Managing the land of Southern Xinjiang is the responsibility of this city lord. It is just part of my job."

At this time, the emperor suddenly changed the subject and said with a smile: "Oh, by the way! I also heard that the palace of City Lord Meng is unique and is said to have the effect of calming people down and relaxing their minds."

"I wonder if I will be lucky enough to stay in Nanjiang City for a few days? That way I can experience the wonders of this rumored place."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao on the side was secretly happy.

She was just thinking about how to get closer to Emperor Ling Yan, and her mind was quickly thinking of various methods.

I didn't expect Ling Yan to take the initiative to propose to stay in Nanjiang City for a while. This is simply a godsend!

So, before Meng Jincheng could answer, she couldn't wait to interrupt and said, "If the emperor doesn't mind the crudeness of our Nanjiang City, then it would be great! Our Nanjiang City is vast, especially the scenery in the West Garden is unique."

"It is full of flowers unique to southern Xinjiang, colorful and gorgeous. In a few days, it will be the flowering season, when all the flowers will bloom and it will be a beautiful sight. If the emperor is interested, he can live in the West Garden and enjoy the spring scenery when the flowers are in full bloom..."

Speaking of this, Meng Jinyao couldn't help but beam with joy, as if she had already seen the emperor immersed in the sea of ​​flowers.

"Shut up!"

Meng Jincheng frowned slightly, looking at his chattering sister in front of him, with obvious dissatisfaction in his eyes.

He really couldn't stand Meng Jinyao's endless nagging.

Meng Jinyao had never expected that she would be scolded by her own brother in this way. She stood there in a daze for a moment, her face turning extremely ugly.

She widened her eyes and looked at Meng Jincheng in disbelief, her lips trembling slightly, as if she wanted to say something else, but in the end she swallowed the words back into her stomach.

"Your Majesty is the supreme ruler of the country, and his status is extremely noble. He should live in the palace and enjoy the best treatment and protection. How can he live in this small southern border city?"

Meng Jincheng took a deep breath, tried to calm his inner irritability, and continued to explain his point of view.

In fact, as long as he didn't want the emperor to live here, he would find many excuses to stop him.

The most crucial reason was that he absolutely did not want Ling Yan to discover Xue Jinhua's existence at this time.

Once this matter is exposed, even if you have a hundred mouths, you won’t be able to explain the reason.

By then, the situation will inevitably fall into extreme chaos.

However, Ling Yan was so smart and wise, how could he not see the little plan in Meng Jincheng's mind?

But he did not expose the other party on the spot. Instead, he smiled and said calmly: "What Miss Meng said just now makes me even more curious. In this case, I have decided not to live in the temporary palace anymore, but to rest in this Nanjiang city. Anyway, I have nothing important to do these days, so I can take this opportunity to appreciate what the legendary beautiful sea of ​​flowers looks like."

It is said that the poisonous insects in Nanjiang City were carefully cultivated from these flowers! I wonder if the sea of ​​flowers that Meng Jinyao mentioned is exactly the same as everyone imagined.

At this moment, Ling Yan's expression gradually became melancholy and sad, as if his heart was shrouded by an invisible pressure.

However, in sharp contrast, Meng Jincheng's heart had already fallen into an abyss, and the panic made his heart beat rapidly.

At this moment, Meng Jinyao suddenly shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty, what I said is true. That sea of ​​flowers... is magnificent and beautiful! Every time the flowers bloom, we..."

Before she could finish her words, Meng Jincheng's face tensed, veins popped out on his forehead, and he shouted, "Shut up!"

Faced with such rude obstruction from her brother, Meng Jinyao was stunned, and her excited words came to an abrupt end.

But even so, Meng Jinyao was unwilling to stop there. She was full of doubts. What happened to her eldest brother? The Emperor of Jin clearly favored me, so why did he try so hard to obstruct me?

At this moment, the dissatisfaction in Meng Jinyao's heart became more and more intense, like a volcano about to erupt and difficult to contain.

Just as everyone was looking at each other, not knowing how to respond, the city lord's wife stood up, bowed slightly and said, "My husband, since the emperor intends to live in our city this time, if the emperor does not mind, I will start to properly arrange the relevant matters."

Hearing his wife's statement, Meng Jincheng couldn't help but frown.

However, before the city lord could open his mouth to speak, Ling Yan spoke first: "Why, City Lord Meng, are you dissatisfied with this? Is it that it is difficult for you to live here?"

Facing Ling Yan's questioning, even if Meng Jincheng had great ability and courage, he would never dare to easily reveal his true thoughts at this time.

He quickly bowed and responded, "Your Majesty has misunderstood. I have absolutely no such intention. Everything is entirely up to Your Majesty."

Seeing Meng Jincheng being so obedient and respectful, Ling Yan finally showed a look of satisfaction on his face, and nodded in response: "Okay, then the matter is settled, then go and arrange it."

In this way, the news that the emperor was about to move into Nanjiang City spread quickly.

Xue Jinhua, who had always been paying close attention to the developments in the city, naturally learned the news at the first time.
