Dongfang Tianyang gave a bitter smile but did not insist on An Jing playing a tune for him, instead saying, "Tomorrow is the praying ceremony in Dongqing, I will be very busy and likely won't be able to visit you."
An Jing immediately smiled and said, "I wish you wouldn't come every day."
Dongfang Tianyang said, "But I want to come." After a pause, he added, "You are the first woman I've taken to heart."
An Jing replied, "I must have the worst luck in the world."
Dongfang Tianyang: "..."
...
The next day, Dongqing held a grand praying ceremony, praying to heaven for favorable weather, national prosperity, and peace for the people.
Meanwhile, in Quiet Heart Garden, An Jing had people bring materials like bamboo strips and paper to make praying lanterns. She wanted to make praying lanterns and make wishes.
If Dongfang Tianyang hadn't mentioned the ceremony, she wouldn't have thought of it.
Since she was quite idle every day anyway.
