Thirteen hesitated and did not answer.

He Yue said to herself, "Let's find a suitable reason and take Hongchang, Tonghui, and Tongxuan to visit our uncle and aunt. We can stay in Jiangnan for a year or two, how about that?"

As if imagining his family settling down in such a beautiful place, with several children chasing and playing in the yard, a warm smile unconsciously appeared on Heyue's lips.

Thirteen couldn't bear to discourage her, but he had to say it, and said with a wry smile, "Heyue, without an imperial decree, a prince cannot leave the capital at will, let alone stay in Jiangnan for a year or two. Father Emperor will not allow it."

He Yue lowered her eyelids in disappointment, but she had already expected this outcome; it was just a trial.

Thirteen couldn't bear to see her unhappy, so he cupped her face and comforted her, "Alright, next time Father Emperor goes on a southern tour, I'll ask Father Emperor to take you and the children with him, okay?"

He Yue nodded sullenly, and the two of them quietly ate dinner, took a bath, changed clothes, and lay down on the bed.

Sensing that Heyue was absent-minded today, Thirteen had some doubts, but asked nothing, waiting for her to become even more gentle and enthusiastic.

The next day, Heyue was still asleep. Thirteen did not disturb her. He got up and, with the help of a maid, dressed. When he went to the courtyard, he called Hailan over.

"Who did the Princess Consort meet yesterday?" Thirteen was usually casual and gentle in front of Heyue, and rarely showed such an imposing presence without anger.

Hailan felt a chill run down her spine as he stared at her with a composed face and sharp eyes. She hurriedly shook her head, "I...I didn't see anyone..."

After saying that, he couldn't help but slap himself.

Do you think I wouldn't know whether anyone came or not? I'm such an idiot!
