Sang Jiang looked at him and raised an eyebrow with a light laugh: "Isn't it said that the harem should not interfere in politics?"
Long Jingchen smiled and looked at her as well: "If you are willing, I will give you the whole country."
Sang Jiang pouted and lazily stood up: "Forget it."
Seeing her lack of interest, Long Jingchen pulled her back again: "Do you want to leave the palace?"
Upon hearing the words "leave the palace," Sang Jiang's mood immediately brightened. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Long Jingchen: "Is what Your Majesty said true?"
Long Jingchen looked into her eyes and was momentarily dazed. Her eyes had always been like this, but they had become much dimmer since she entered the palace.
Seeing that she was in a good mood made him feel better too. If she really wanted to go out for a walk, why not? If not, he could just bring a few more bodyguards. Besides, as long as he stayed by her side the whole time, he didn't think anyone in the world could hurt her.
Thinking of his arms around her waist, she tightened them again: "A promise is a promise."
Hearing his resolute tone, Sang Jiang couldn't help but smile: "Then, Your Majesty, when shall we go?"
Long Jingchen thought for a moment and was about to say a few days, but when he met her expectant eyes, the words that were about to come out changed to: "Tomorrow!"
"Okay!" She looked at Long Jingchen beside her and thought he looked much more handsome. She unconsciously put her hands on his neck and kissed him on the cheek.
Long Jingchen was completely stunned.
This was the first time Sang Jiang had taken the initiative to kiss him, or rather, the first time she had taken the initiative to get close to him.
If he had known that taking her out of the palace would make her treat him like this, he would have taken her out long ago.
Sang Jiang belatedly realized what she had just done.
Her face flushed red instantly.
She glanced at Long Jingchen, then jumped off the rocking chair and ran back to her room as if fleeing.
Long Jingchen couldn't help but laugh as he watched her hurried figure, as if her tail had been stepped on.
He ate lunch alone in Chengshun Palace. He knew that the girl was shy and if he kept trying to get close to her, she would chase him away again. He didn't appear at Mingyue Palace again until evening.
Sang Jiang was packing her things to take when she left the palace. Seeing her fleeing like a famine victim, Long Jingchen couldn't help but laugh and tease her, "Wife, are you not planning to come back?"
Sang Jiang hadn't expected Long Jingchen to come over at this time, so she just casually replied, "Yeah, who would come back if they went out!"
She realized something was wrong as soon as she finished speaking, and sure enough, when she turned around, she saw Long Jingchen staring at her with a dark expression.
Sang Jiang felt a little guilty under his gaze, her phoenix eyes darting back and forth, avoiding looking at Long Jingchen.
Long Jingchen walked past him, waved to Chunhe and Kou'er, and the two acknowledged and left.
As soon as the door closed, Long Jingchen reached out and pulled Sang Jiang into his arms. He then sat down on the soft couch behind him and whispered in her ear, "Is my wife planning to abandon her husband?"
Sang Jiang felt a shiver run through her body as she felt the warm breath on her ear. She put her hands on Long Jingchen's chest to keep him away from her and said, "No, you must have misheard me. What I meant was that since we're going out, we should be well-prepared so we don't have to come back for things we don't need."
Long Jingchen raised an eyebrow at her, his narrow eyes brimming with amusement: "Really? My wife ran away after leaving the palace last time..."
