As soon as Jiang Jingyue said those words, Qi Yehan's expression changed instantly. However, he couldn't bear to make Jiang Jingyue feel bad, so he could only nod, glance at her, and then leave with his men.

When she saw Qi Yehan leave, Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It's really hard to coax someone; she likes being coaxed but doesn't like coaxing others.

What's more, this person is so difficult to appease; it's really a headache.

After watching Qi Yehan walk away, Jiang Jingyue returned to the Minister's residence.

Madam Jiang looked at his flushed cheeks and gave her a teasing look.

Jiang Jingyue became even more embarrassed when her mother looked at her like that, and her face turned even redder.

"Oh dear! Mother, what's wrong with you? Father, look at Mother, she's really so annoying."

Seeing his wife joking with his daughter warmed Jiang Shangshan's heart. The thought that he would soon have a grandson or granddaughter filled him with excitement.

"Alright, stop playing. Xiaoyue, you still have a baby in your belly, you need to go to sleep early. Dad will take you back to your room."

Jiang Jingyue winked at her father and said with a smile.

"Father! I'll sleep with Mother tonight, you can sleep in the study by yourself."

Minister Jiang was stunned when he heard the news. He had wanted to rest well with his beloved for the night, but he didn't expect that he would have to sleep in the study on his first night back.

Minister Jiang wanted to see more, but looking into his wife's eyes, he knew there was no hope.

With no other option, he had to take his belongings with him and make do with the night in the study.

At this moment, Qi Yehan in the palace tossed and turned, unable to sleep at all.

Without his wife by his side, he felt uncomfortable sleeping alone.

But it's so late now, they don't want to bother them.

If Jiang Jingyue were sleeping alone, he could sneak up through the window.

However, Qi Yehan clearly heard Jiang Jingyue tell him that she was going to sleep with her mother tonight, so he couldn't go over there and could only endure it, since it was only for one night anyway.

That night, Qi Yehan barely slept. He tossed and turned, unable to sleep, until dawn broke, and he finally drifted off to sleep.

He had only slept for a short while when Su Lin woke him up.

The next morning, Jiang Jingyue was woken up by a kiss.

That's right, she was woken up by someone kissing her, and she was a little dazed the moment she woke up.

She opened her eyes and was startled to see Qi Yehan's enlarged face.

"Your Majesty...Why are you here at this time? Didn't you go back to the palace?"

Qi Yehan originally thought that if Jiang Jingyue saw him since he arrived early, she would be very happy.

But looking at Jiang Jingyue's expression now, she doesn't seem so happy.

Seeing Jiang Jingyue's expression, Qi Yehan couldn't help but ask her.

"Yueyue, why do I feel that you don't seem so happy to see me? I rushed over here right after the morning court session. It seems I was too hasty. It seems that this heartless woman doesn't really want to return to the palace with me!"

Jiang Jingyue really didn't want to go back to the palace. The palace was like a big cage, locking her up. It was much more comfortable outside the palace.

However, she also knew that she couldn't act on her own whims now and could only follow Qi Yehan back to the palace.

"Your Majesty, please stay for lunch before you leave!"

Qi Yehan didn't want to agree at first, but the little woman kept looking at him expectantly, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Madam Jiang was also reluctant, but there was nothing she could do. Her daughter was now married and could no longer be as willful as before.

"Xiaoyue, after you return to the palace, you must serve the Emperor well. Only when you and the Emperor are well can your mother be at ease, understand?"

"Now that you're pregnant, you can't be as willful as before, understand?"

Jiang Jingyue knew that Madam Jiang was concerned about her, so she nodded to her.

"Mother, don't worry, Xiaoyue knows. When the baby is born, remember to come to the palace to see the child!"

Madam Jiang nodded with a smile.

No matter how reluctant she was, Jiang Jingyue had no choice but to return to the palace. However, before returning, Qi Yehan took her for a long stroll outside the palace.

"Husband, come here quickly! This is so much fun. Shall we ask the old man to draw one for us? It's something we can eat and something we can look at. It's so beautiful."

Qi Yehan was pulled away by Jiang Jingyue in an instant, before he could even react.

There are a lot of people here. He regretted bringing Jiang Jingyue here. Now that Jiang Jingyue is pregnant, it is really not safe for her to be squeezed in with all these people.

When he first came in, Qi Yehan wanted to take Jiang Jingyue out, but seeing the little woman's excited eyes sparkling, he couldn't bear to do it.

There was nothing else he could do but try his best to protect Jiang Jingyue and prevent her from being pushed around by others.

His expression had been tense the whole time. When Jiang Jingyue suddenly pulled him like that, he didn't react in time and almost fell over.

Fortunately, he managed to regain his footing in time, preventing him from falling in public.

"If you like it, then let me draw one for you."

Jiang Jingyue understood what Qi Yehan meant: he didn't want to paint, and that was unacceptable.

"My husband, let's draw one together. Then I'll eat you, and you'll eat me, okay?"

Qi Yehan liked hearing this. He smiled and nodded.

Then he whispered in Jiang Jingyue's ear, "Yueyue, I love eating you the most."

The moment he said those words, Jiang Jingyue's face turned red.

However, since they were outside, she could only reach out and punch Qi Yehan; she couldn't do anything else.

Seeing Jiang Jingyue's helpless expression, Qi Yehan couldn't help but laugh.

His hearty laughter immediately attracted the attention of passersby, and some of the bolder women stared intently at Qi Yehan.

These people were looking rather bold, so Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but step in front of Qi Yehan to prevent the others from looking.

What she didn't know was that it was this one action of hers that pleased Qi Yehan.

"Husband, these people are so annoying! Why are they staring at you like that? You're mine, no one else can look at you, hmph."

Hearing the sweet, coquettish voice of the young woman, Qi Yehan's heart softened completely. He couldn't help but reach out and pinch Jiang Jingyue's cheek, smiling as he spoke.

"Yueyue, you're worried! It's just you, and only you."
