In order to convince Song Jinglan that she would really only be away for a few days and would be back, Jiang Yuyue became more and more considerate to him.

Although she guessed that this was because she had ulterior motives, Song Jinglan still thoroughly enjoyed it all.

However, Song Jinglan kept silent about letting her leave the palace. Whenever Jiang Yuyue brought it up, he would find an excuse to brush it off. After a few days, Jiang Yuyue naturally realized this.

"Yesterday you said the weather was bad and it was inconvenient to go out, the day before yesterday you said it was too sunny and you were afraid I would get heatstroke, what excuse are you going to come up with today?"

Jiang Yuyue couldn't help but question him. To be honest, she really felt that this person was becoming more and more childish, but thinking that it was all because she hadn't been able to give him enough security, she didn't say anything more.

"Is it absolutely necessary to go today?"

Song Jinglan was still somewhat reluctant, "Anyway, your matter isn't that urgent, what's wrong with going in a few days?"

Jiang Yuyue felt helpless. Naturally, the sooner she knew the outcome, the better. If it continued to be delayed, she would feel uneasy. Seeing that this person was determined to cheat her, she simply put on a cold face.

"How could the ruler of a country be so untrustworthy?"

Jiang Yuyue's tone held a hint of displeasure, "Does entering your harem mean I'll never have any freedom again? You clearly agreed to it before, and now you want to go back on your word?"

"When did I ever say you weren't allowed to go out?"

Seeing this, Song Jinglan had no choice but to give in. After all, he knew that he had been making excuses for many days, and if he continued to deal with it like this, he would probably really upset her.

"Alright, since that's the case, then you may set off today."

Seeing that this trick worked, Jiang Yuyue raised an eyebrow and immediately got up to instruct Jasmine outside, "Jasmine, go and fetch my previous casual clothes."

Jasmine immediately went to meet him, and Song Jinglan, seeing how quickly she changed her mind, knew that he had fallen for her trick again. The displeasure on Jiang Yuyue's face just now immediately transferred to his face.

"What? You're already unhappy?"

Jiang Yuyue's earlier gloom had vanished. Turning her head, she saw Song Jinglan's displeased expression, so she took the initiative to step forward and hold his hand, softening her tone to gently comfort him.

"I already told you, this trip is truly for important business. As soon as it's over, I won't delay and will come back immediately. Besides, you can have Yueying follow me. Do you really think I can just run off somewhere?"

After saying this, she tiptoed and kissed Song Jinglan's lips again and again, while he sighed softly, grabbed Jiang Yuyue's waist, and whispered in her ear.

"Even if you run away again, I will still find you and bring you back."

The warm breath tickled her earlobe, making Jiang Yuyue blush and feel hot.

Just as the atmosphere in the hall was becoming increasingly ambiguous, a slightly awkward cough interrupted their actions.

"Your Majesty, I have brought your clothes."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuyue replied, "Okay, put it on the table."

After saying this, she gently pushed Song Jinglan's chest and whispered, "Alright, I should change my clothes now, or it will get dark."

"Isn't it perfect that it's dark? We can go again tomorrow."

Song Jinglan's voice was somewhat muffled, while Jiang Yuyue pinched him lightly. He then let go of her hand, sat down on the chair next to her, and still stared at her changing clothes with an unhappy expression.

Jiang Yuyue was afraid that he would change his mind again, so she changed her clothes quickly and changed into casual clothes in no time. Seeing that Song Jinglan still had a sullen expression, she went up to him and took his hand, speaking very earnestly.

"Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I go."

Seeing that Jiang Yuyue was determined to leave today, Song Jinglan didn't want to force her to stay any longer. He sighed softly, then stood up and took Jiang Yuyue's hand in return.

"Let's go, I'll take you out."

As soon as the two stepped onto the corridor, Jiang Qimo came bounding over and called out to them in a clear voice, "Father, Mother!"

After saying that, he bowed to them in a serious manner. Although Song Jinglan had already said that he did not need to learn those complicated etiquettes, Jiang Qimo was enjoying himself. The little boy was doing things like an adult, which looked rather funny.

He quickly noticed that Jiang Yuyue's clothes were different from usual, which made his eyes light up. He hurriedly said, "Why did Mother change her clothes today? Are you going out of the palace?! Mo'er wants to go too! Take Mo'er with you!"

Jiang Yuyue was going out on business, so she naturally couldn't bring her child. Just as she was about to refuse, Song Jinglan was quicker and directly rejected Jiang Qimo's request.

"Mo'er can't go."

Song Jinglan spoke decisively and coldly, "Mo'er, have you finished your homework today? Yesterday I saw that your handwriting looked like a centipede. How can you go out to play when you haven't even finished writing properly? We'll talk about it when you've finished writing properly."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qimo frowned and retorted without any politeness, "Father clearly said yesterday that Mo'er is still young and should take her time with her calligraphy. Why have you changed your tune today?"

Seeing Jiang Qimo so ruthlessly expose his father's scheme, Jiang Yuyue couldn't help but laugh out loud. However, she also understood Song Jinglan's meaning. He was already worried about her going out. If she took Mo'er with her, wouldn't that make him think that she was going to run away with the child again?

To reassure Song Jinglan, she naturally had to go along with what he said.

"Alright, Mo'er, stay in the palace and practice your calligraphy."

Jiang Yuyue smiled and patted Jiang Qimo's head, but her eyes looked meaningfully at Song Jinglan beside her. "Mother will be back soon after taking care of some business. It won't take too long, so don't worry, Mo'er. When Mother and Father have some free time later, they will take you for a stroll outside the palace."

Seeing that even his mother, who always doted on him, had said this, Jiang Qimo had no choice but to give up. He simply took Jiang Yuyue's hand seriously and said, "Then Mother, you've already made a promise with Mo'er that you'll definitely take Mo'er out to play together from now on!"

After finally managing to deal with Jiang Qimo, Song Jinglan escorted Jiang Yuyue to the side gate of the palace. Yueying had already prepared a carriage and was waiting there. This kind of task had once again fallen on his shoulders, and Yueying truly had no words to express his bitterness.

"Okay, just send it here."

Jiang Yuyue turned to look at Song Jinglan, "I should get going."
