"I didn't know the emperor and empress were here. We are sorry to disturb you. I hope you can forgive us." The woman who spoke had a gentle appearance, beautiful features and graceful eyebrows, and she spoke in a gentle voice.

Seeing the confusion on Nan Yan's face, she smiled slightly, "Your servant Yuan Yilan."

After saying that, she glanced at Shang Yue calmly, but found that his eyes were always on Nan Yan, and he didn't even turn his head.

The recently appointed Minister of Justice’s surname is Yuan, and she must be a female member of the Minister’s family.

Nan Yan watched everything Yuan Yilan did.

Shang Yue holds a high position and is handsome, so this kind of thing is inevitable. If someone like Yuan Yilan doesn't do anything to harm her, she won't care.

Nan Yan smiled and said, "The scenery here is quite beautiful. It's natural for you to like it. It doesn't bother us..."

"Yan'er, let's go over there!" Shang Yue frowned and interrupted Nan Yan. The looks of these women were still so annoying.

Nan Yan turned her head and did not miss the flash of impatience in Shang Yue's eyes.

"Ladies, please continue to enjoy the scenery. The Emperor and I will leave first."

After walking past them, Shang Yue took Nan Yan's hand again.

They turned around and looked at the two men's backs with envy on their faces.

Yuan Yilan glanced at Lou Xinyue who was standing beside her, frowned, and said with emotion: "Before I came to the capital, I heard how much the emperor loved the queen. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, it is even better than the legend."

"Most common heads of families would not hold their wives' hands for a walk, let alone the emperor. He can hold the queen's hand and walk with her. He must like her very much."

Yes! He is obviously the emperor who is high above everyone else and is cold to everyone, but he is so gentle to Nan Yan.

A woman nearby echoed, "Yes! If I could be treated like this, my whole life would be worth it."

Lou Xinyue's gaze was like poison, falling on the two people's clasped hands, and the jealousy in her heart spread infinitely.

The few people who were originally eager to see the scenery suddenly lost their mood.

They just looked at Nan Yan and Shang Yue from afar.

Seeing that cold and unfeeling emperor holding the queen's hand, gazing at her tenderly, smiling at her, and tucking her hair away from her ears...

It was a look they had never seen before, and it was so heart-warming.

It really makes people jealous!

Nan Yan had no idea what the others were thinking. After taking a walk with Shang Yue, she returned to Qixia Garden.

Shang Yue didn't come here to escape the summer heat without doing anything. The guards would deliver memorials to him every day. Besides accompanying Nan Yan, he was busy dealing with the memorials.

The women who wanted to meet Shang Yue wandered around Qixia Garden for a few days. Either they couldn't meet Shang Yue, or he was with Nan Yan. They couldn't seduce the emperor in front of the queen.

That day, Yinling walked in from outside angrily.

Seeing her like this, Nan Yan asked curiously, "What's wrong? Who made you angry?" This girl is now the senior palace maid by her side. People respect her wherever she goes. She never knows who could make her angry.

Yin Ling glanced outside the courtyard and said through gritted teeth, "Empress, I just saw those young ladies outside again. They must be waiting for the Emperor again."

Nan Yan smiled and put down the cup in her hand, "Are you angry about this?"

Yin Ling frowned, "Empress, why aren't you angry?"

My young lady is so nice. Those people wanted to snatch the emperor openly, but she didn't say a word.

"What's there to be angry about? It takes two to tango. If they want to enter the palace, they can enter if the emperor allows them to. If the emperor doesn't allow them to enter, they can't."

Yinling thought about it and felt that her mistress was right. The whole world belonged to the emperor, and whatever the emperor said was the truth.

If you take it to heart, wouldn't you be causing yourself trouble?

Her brows relaxed instantly, and she looked at Nan Yan with admiration, "Empress, you think clearly, and I am too narrow-minded."

The lady is worthy of being a lady, she is just smarter than her.

As Shang Yue walked to the door, he heard what Nan Yan said and his eyes darkened.

After Nan Yan finished speaking, he walked in.

Yin Ling saw the tall man at the door and bowed quickly, "Your Highness."

Nan Yan was startled and looked up at Shang Yue, who had no expression on his face.

She didn't know if he heard what she just said, but it didn't matter if he heard it, it didn't matter anyway.

Shang Yue waved his hand, "Go down!"

After Yin Ling left, they were the only two left in the room. Shang Yue strode over and sat next to Nan Yan.

"Yan'er, what do you think about those people who hang around outside the yard every day?" The man's tone was deep, his dark eyes fixed on Nan Yan's face.

Nan Yan looked at him with a smile, "Didn't you hear what I said just now?" Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked like this.

The man pursed his lips, obviously not satisfied with her answer.

"You don't mind at all?" His low tone revealed a hint of displeasure.

If you care about someone, how can you not mind! Just like when he saw those people coveting her, he wanted to dig out their eyes.

Nan Yan saw the man's displeasure clearly.

She stood up gracefully, the tassels on her waistband swaying with her movements, and sat in the man's arms. Even if Shang Yue was angry, he still held her waist to prevent her from falling.

She put her arms around his neck and looked at him with a smile, "Are you angry?"

This woman could actually laugh. Shang Yue felt angry and aggrieved, but he couldn't bear to get angry with her.

"You don't care about me? Shouldn't I be angry?" He said with a hint of grievance.

Nan Yan actually felt that he was quite cute like this.

"Who said I don't care about you?" Nan Yan pinched his face, then raised her head towards the outside, "Just because of those ladies?"

Although the man didn't say anything, he had an expression like that.

"I don't care about their behavior because I trust you. You won't pay attention to those young ladies, nor will you let them enter the palace." Nan Yan smiled sweetly, nudged the man's chest with her elbow, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is that right?"

After listening to Nan Yan's explanation, Shang Yue's anger immediately subsided, and his expression instantly seemed to melt. He kissed her cheek lovingly and said helplessly: "You just hold me firmly in your hand."

I just know what to say to make him happy.

Nan Yan asked back with a proud look on her face: "Am I wrong?"

"You're right." Shang Yue nodded.

He put himself in Yan'er's shoes and thought that if Yan'er had another man, he would definitely go crazy. So in the same way, if he had another woman, it would also be a great harm to Yan'er.

Moreover, he had seen how much his mother had been secretly harmed by the women in his father's harem. She was even given a sterilizing drug after giving birth to him. He didn't want the woman he loved the most to go through all this.

Besides, except for Yan'er, he still felt disgusted when those women got close to him.
