"Ayan, I want to go out for a walk to clear my head. I don't need anyone else, just the two of us."
"Okay." Qi Yan now agrees to whatever Wan Ge says.
…
The ministers didn't find out that Wan Ge and Qi Yan had gone out until the next day.
The wedding ceremony that was originally scheduled could not be held, but the most surprising thing was that His Majesty did not attend court or handle state affairs for a month, but nothing unusual happened during that month.
Qi Yan used to control everyone's lives. He knew everything about the officials, and no one dared to betray him or violate his rules.
Putting aside other matters, almost all officials can be fair and honest.
Moreover, in everyone's mind, Qi Yan has been monitoring their lives all along. So what if Qi Yan hasn't attended court for a month? So what if he's disappeared for a month?
They might be hiding somewhere, secretly watching them, perhaps hoping to catch something unusual. So they didn't dare do anything; they continued living the same way they always had.
…
Qi Yan had been out of touch with world events for a long time. He used to summarize the major and minor events every day and then tell himself about them. But now, after being away for a month, he had been by Wan Ge's side the whole time, and everything he paid attention to was related to Wan Ge.
But he didn't feel uncomfortable, nor did he really want to know; in fact, he seemed to enjoy this quiet life.
Of course, this is all on the premise that the person you love most is always by your side, and you no longer need to think about what she did, what she went to do, or what she wanted to do.
He was a little worried about his wife, who wanted to help others, since she was pregnant and he was concerned about her health.
So although it was Wan Ge who wanted to do good deeds, it was Qi Yan who did most of the work. Wan Ge just watched from the sidelines, occasionally lending a hand by throwing darts from a distance.
After staying away for several months, Wan Ge returned to the palace only after discovering she was pregnant.
After a few months, she felt much more relaxed, and she began to have different feelings about Qi Yan.
Although they did a lot of chivalrous deeds, some of them were mostly trivial matters, and others were personal family issues.
To be honest, I didn't really see many bandits or notorious thieves. And in the past few months, I've traveled to many places and found that although the local administration is strict, not many people have any complaints about the emperor.
There were genuinely no complaints, not the kind of complaints that people were afraid to voice.
As long as it's within a reasonable range, everyone's life is actually quite easy, and ordinary people don't feel that the emperor is monitoring their lives, so they just do what they're supposed to do.
Qi Yan seems to have reflected a lot because of a trip, and now she generally doesn't get involved in other people's family affairs or pry into other people's private lives.
And occasionally, he would take Wan Ge out, allowing her body to experience the freedom it desired. This time, everything truly was moving in a positive direction.
…
When the baby turned one month old, Wan Ge naturally invited her aunt, but... when she wanted to find Qi Yan, she saw Qi Yan chatting with her aunt.
The way his aunt looked was clearly the same way his subordinates treated him. Wan Ge seemed to suddenly realize something…
"Qi Yan!!!"
It turns out that even the nun was someone he arranged.
Qi Yan immediately stood at attention, and seeing his wife, who should have been in postpartum confinement, come out, he immediately went over to her and draped his cloak over her shoulders: "Wange, I was wrong..."

①I want to know everything about you. I'm sorry, I can't control myself.
②I thought I would be happy as long as you did what I wanted, but I later found out that wasn't the case.
③If you are sad, I will be even sadder than you.
Qi Yan
