Ji Lingzhou couldn't actually give a satisfactory answer to Cheng Mingran's questioning, because no matter how perfect his words were, Cheng Mingran might not believe what he said.

"If Ranran is not ready, then take your time." Ji Lingzhou said. Maybe he shouldn't have brought up this topic in the first place.

Cheng Mingran looked at the food on the table and now she had lost her appetite: "I can't eat anymore, Your Majesty, please eat." After she said this, she was ready to get up.

Ji Lingzhou paused for a moment: "You haven't even eaten much yet, and now you can't eat anymore? No matter what you are thinking, you have to take your health into consideration and eat quickly."

Cheng Mingran looked at Ji Lingzhou: "I have no appetite."

"Even if you have no appetite, you should eat something. How long has it been since you last ate? You went to bed late this morning and didn't even have time to have breakfast. Now you don't want to eat again. Do you think your body is made of iron?" Ji Lingzhou was helpless.

Cheng Mingran didn't say anything, and Ji Lingzhou picked up the soup he had just served: "Let me feed you." As he said that, he actually picked up the spoon himself.

Cheng Mingran frowned: "I can come by myself."

"If you don't eat well in the future, I will be the only one to feed you. Just take this as a chance to get used to it." Ji Lingzhou said as he handed over the spoon.

Cheng Mingran wanted to say something, but after a look from Ji Lingzhou, she said nothing and drank the soup quietly.

"Spring is about to arrive, and this year's spring hunt will be brought forward. Do you want to go together?" Ji Lingzhou mentioned this year's spring hunt.

Cheng Mingran went to the spring hunt every year before, but there wasn't much to do. This year...

Ji Lingzhou may have seen her hesitation, so he spoke before her: "Ranran wanted to learn horse riding before, didn't you? This time I will take you to go horse riding, do you want to try it?"

Riding a horse? Cheng Mingran did not agree immediately. In fact, she knew in her heart that this was just an excuse made up by Ji Lingzhou.

She really didn't plan to go just now, and was ready to find a random excuse to decline, but then she thought again, there would be no harm in going, and in case of some unexpected situation, she could make some plans in advance.

"Okay." Cheng Mingran agreed.

When Ji Lingzhou heard this, he was finally satisfied and relieved. The smile on his face was even more genuine: "A new batch of horses has arrived at the horse farm today. If I have time later, I will take you to have a look."

"What are we going to the horse farm for?" Cheng Mingran was also a little confused. That kind of place was not a place for concubines like them to go.

"Go and pick out a docile horse for you. You can have someone take it to the hunting ground. From now on, this horse will belong to you alone, and you can get familiar with it later." Ji Lingzhou said.

This made sense at the time, and Cheng Mingran did not refuse. And maybe it was because Ji Lingzhou said everything so well, she suddenly looked forward to the feeling of riding a horse.

She had always wanted to learn, but she never had the chance. After entering the palace, she felt that Ji Lingzhou liked quiet and well-behaved women, so she never mentioned riding a horse.

After lunch, Ji Lingzhou took Cheng Mingran straight to the horse farm. Because they came suddenly, the palace servants were also shocked when they saw Ji Lingzhou.

He rushed over with a look of panic on his face: "Your servant greets His Majesty and His Majesty the Concubine!"

"Didn't a new batch of horses arrive today? Let someone pick out a few docile ones and send them over." Ji Lingzhou said.

The palace servants reacted almost immediately. It seemed that they had to choose horses for the Concubine Shu. They did not dare to delay and quickly asked people to select a few good horses.

"Will Ranran be scared?" Ji Lingzhou asked.

"I haven't tried riding a horse by myself, but I have been on a horse before, so I don't feel scared." Cheng Mingran replied.

Ji Lingzhou raised his eyebrows. This was not surprising, because Cheng Li was after all a man on horseback, and Cheng Mingran, as his daughter, how could she have never had any contact with him?

The groom soon brought over some nice horses, including a white one, two reddish-brown ones, and a black one.

Ji Lingzhou took a look and found that they were all similar. Besides, since they were horses selected to enter the palace, they naturally wouldn’t be too bad.

"Take a look, is there anyone that suits your eyes?" Ji Lingzhou looked at Cheng Mingran beside him.

Cheng Mingran walked up to the horses, not afraid, and took the initiative to reach out and touch them. Ji Lingzhou did not stop her, as the horses were quite docile, so nothing would happen.

"It's all fine. I don't have any other requirements." Cheng Mingran said.

"You have to choose it yourself. Why don't you choose one yourself?" Ji Lingzhou asked.

Cheng Mingran took another look: "The black one... that one is too dark, it doesn't look good. The chestnut one is too common, I choose this white horse." Cheng Mingran said.

Ji Lingzhou was not surprised to hear what he said. Generally speaking, little women like them would choose white.

"Okay, then we'll take this one. Do you want to get on the horse and try it first?" Ji Lingzhou asked her.

Cheng Mingran also nodded. She was naturally looking forward to it and even a little impatient, but she still had to pretend to be reserved on the surface.

Ji Lingzhou also noticed her expression and found it a little funny. She obviously wanted to, but she had to pretend not to be anxious?

"Let's give it a try." Ji Lingzhou led the horse over and helped Cheng Mingran onto the horse.

Cheng Mingran lifted her skirt, but before she could step firmly, her center of gravity shifted and she almost fell down. Fortunately, Ji Lingzhou was there to protect her.

"Slow down, it's okay." Ji Lingzhou comforted her. The horse was not very high, so he held her tightly and luckily she got on it smoothly.

Cheng Mingran just sat on the horse, and she felt a little strange, because she hadn't been on a horse for a long time. And the view was different, she suddenly felt a little excited, and it seemed like this was really good.

"Let me hold your hand and walk around first." Ji Lingzhou said to her.

"Okay." Cheng Mingran was very happy now, so naturally she said anything was okay.

Ji Lingzhou could clearly sense Cheng Mingran's emotions, so after being infected, he also felt happy.

If Cheng Mingran really likes horse riding, then I can just bring her here often in the future. It’s not a difficult thing.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let the servants do things like this?" Before Ji Lingzhou led the horse out, the groom came hurriedly. What a joke! How could His Majesty be asked to do such things in person?
