I insist

Chapter 548: Leaving the Palace

The palace banquet ended quickly, and after everyone was finally seen off, Song Miqiu was exhausted.

Back in the palace, Song Miqiu collapsed onto the bed, closed her eyes, and exhaled, "I'm so tired, so very tired."

Upon seeing Song Miqiu like this, Yu Huailin indulged her a bit. He sat down on the edge of the bed, reached out and pulled her up, letting her lean against him.

"What are you doing? I'm so tired, let me rest for a while." Song Miqiu opened her eyes, glanced at him, and said.

“I’m not stopping you from resting. Lean against me and I’ll give you a shoulder massage.”

After Yu Huailin finished speaking, he placed his hand on her shoulder and gently massaged it. Suddenly, he said, "How about I take you out for a walk?"

Song Miqiu immediately perked up and turned to look at him: "Going out for a stroll? Leaving the palace?"

Yu Huailin nodded: "Of course, do you still feel tired now?"

Song Miqiu shook her head repeatedly: "I'm not tired anymore, let's go now, let's go."

After saying that, Song Miqiu quickly got out of bed, grabbed Yu Huailin's hand, and walked outside.

Yu Huailin grabbed her hand and pulled her back, saying softly, "We can't go out like this; we need to dress up a bit."

Song Miqiu glanced down at her cumbersome clothes and nodded: "Yes, we need to change. I'll go find some."

"No need, I'm already prepared."

Yu Huailin took Song Miqiu's hand and walked to the side, where he found two pieces of clothing on the dressing table, both with the same pattern and color.

Song Miqiu recognized the outfits as matching couple outfits at a glance. She turned to Yu Huailin and asked, "These are the clothes you prepared?"

"Of course, what do you think? Do you like it?" Yu Huailin looked at her with a big smile.

"like."

After the two changed their clothes, they left the palace, and the streets were bustling with activity.

Song Miqiu looked at these things excitedly, and then she saw that there were masks for sale. She grabbed Yu Huailin's hand and walked to the stall.

“Look, this mask is the same as our clothes.” Song Miqiu held up the mask and showed it to Yu Huailin.

Upon seeing them, the stall owner smiled and said, "Young master, madam, you two are truly a match made in heaven! I have never seen anyone so perfectly matched."

It's not just about looks, but also about your charisma. I've met so many people, but I've never seen anyone like you two. You're such a perfect match.

The stall owner was telling the truth. He thought the two of them were a perfect match, and that only the two of them deserved each other.

Song Miqiu was surprised by the stall owner's words. She held the mask in her hand shyly, unsure of how to react.

On the contrary, Yu Huailin was very pleased with what the stall owner said, and looked at Song Miqiu with a smile.

The stall owner was delighted to see him and showered him with praise as if it were free.

Song Miqiu felt embarrassed by what she said. She took off her mask and smiled slightly, "Well, let's go and look at other places."

The stall owner was surprised that after saying so much, she didn't want to buy it anymore. Just as he was wondering what to do, Yu Huailin suddenly handed him ten taels of silver.

"We'll take these two masks, thank you," Yu Huailin said softly, taking the masks that Song Miqiu had just taken from him.

The stall owner looked at the ten taels of silver in his hand and was at a loss for what to do. He quickly said, "These two masks don't cost this much."

"What you just said made me very happy. Happiness is priceless, and this money is well spent."

After Yu Huailin finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed Song Miqiu's hand, and walked to the other side.

Song Miqiu glanced at him, looking at the mask in his hand, and felt a pang of heartache: "This mask shouldn't cost that much, and we can't wear masks all the time."

Why did you buy this?

"Didn't I just say that happiness is priceless? After saying so many things about how well-matched we are, naturally I should give you more money?"

That way, his words won't be spoken in vain, and besides, didn't you like what he said?

Yu Huailin leaned down slightly and whispered in her ear.

Song Miqiu was a little embarrassed, but still nodded and said, "I'm happy, but you're really bad at managing money. This amount of money is enough for an ordinary person's expenses for a long time."

After that, she started to complain about Yu Huailin. Although they were now the emperor and empress, she felt that they should still save money where possible.

Seeing that she was genuinely unhappy, Yu Huailin quickly apologized, "Okay, I was wrong. This is just this once, there will definitely be no next time. Don't be angry."

Seeing him like this, Song Miqiu couldn't help but smile. Just as she was about to answer him, he picked her up and carried her to the other side.

Just as she was about to speak, a woman fell down beside her. Yu Huailin was afraid that she would bump into Song Miqiu, so she quickly picked her up and carried her away.

The woman who had fallen to the ground hadn't expected this outcome, and she looked at Yu Huailin with a hint of resentment.

He held Song Miqiu in his arms, and looking at the woman's mournful expression, he sneered, "Your luck with women is too good. You can still attract bees and butterflies even like this."

“We’re in the same boat, look around,” Yu Huailin said softly.

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu glanced around and indeed noticed that many men were looking at her.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After walking for a while, Song Miqiu finally spoke up, "Put me down quickly, there are too many people watching, it's not good."

Yu Huailin knew she was easily embarrassed, so he put her down on the ground, then took her hand and asked, "Where are we going next?"

Song Miqiu glanced around and suddenly put down her hand on a small stall selling wontons.

"Let's go eat wontons," Song Miqiu said, her eyes shining as she looked at him.

Looking into her bright eyes, Yu Huailin smiled slightly and said, "Okay, let's go eat wontons."

The two people walked up to the wonton stall and said with smiles, "Stadium owner, two bowls of wontons."

The stall owner looked up at the two men. He had probably never seen such good-looking people before, and they were dressed in clothes that suggested they were from a wealthy family. The stall owner thought that people like them should go to a restaurant.

After a moment of stunned silence, the stall owner came to his senses and said with a smile, "Please have a seat, gentlemen. I'll cook the wontons for you right now. Please wait a moment."

Song Miqiu and Yu Huailin sat there, and she asked in a low voice, "Have you never eaten anything from a street stall before?"

"Do you think I've never eaten this before? We two used to go through this together, what haven't we eaten?" Yu Huailin said with a smile.

“That’s right. You’ve been with us for a long time and done all sorts of jobs. Did you find it particularly tough back then?” Song Miqiu asked curiously.
