The queen has four sons and six daughters, and she can call the wind and rain

"So good."

General Qi and his son could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"I am grateful to Ming Xiurong for taking care of my daughter."

"General Qi, you are too polite. I should thank the Imperial Concubine for taking care of me and Little Grape."

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense and go hunting. Don't disturb the world of two people between Ming Xiurong and me."

King Kang laughed out loud.

"Okay, brother, we'll be leaving now. You two can have fun."

During the annual autumn hunt, three people with the most prey would be selected for commendation. At the very least, they would be rewarded with silver. If they were favored by the emperor, they would be promoted step by step, so the princes and nobles immediately turned their attention to business.

Although Ming Xiurong is good, it is not what they can dream of, so let's be more practical.

The crowd gradually dispersed, Yun Zhining and Qi Yejing continued to ride forward, followed by a dozen guards, so it was not too lonely.

After walking for a distance, Yun Zhining suddenly remembered something, looked back, and frowned slightly.

"Why is Dong Ling missing?"

Qi Yejing snorted coldly.

"Why, do you care so much about Dong Ling?"

"Of course not. It's just that Dong Ling has always been with the emperor, so I don't worry about the emperor's safety. But if Dong Ling is gone, what if the emperor is in danger? What should I do?"

Qi Yejing smiled when he heard the voice.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Yun Zhining turned her head to look at him and said nervously.

"If you really encounter danger, I will definitely hold back the bad guys, and Your Majesty, please run away quickly."

"That won't work. If I run away, won't you be in danger?"

Yun Zhining shook her head and chuckled, but tears welled up in her eyes.

"I am not afraid, I am."

"As long as the emperor is well, Daye will be stable, and the people will live and work in peace and happiness."

"Little Grape and the others will also grow up healthy and happy under the Emperor's protection, free and unfettered, without worries."

Qi Yejing sneered.

"Aren't you afraid that something bad will happen to you, and that your children will forget you as their biological mother when they grow up?"

"Of course I'm scared."

"But as long as they are all fine, I can do anything you ask me to do."

"Besides, ..."

As if she had thought of something, the smile on Yun Zhining's lips softened a little.

"Although Little Grape is young, she is very smart and has a good memory. She will definitely remember that I am her biological mother."

"When Little Strawberry and Little Pomelo grow up, she will tell them everything. With Little Grape around, the two of them won't be able to do anything wrong."

"Are you quite proud?"

"Of course. Who wouldn't be proud to have such a smart and well-behaved little sweet girl?"

Qi Yejing chuckled.

"That's true. I have to admit that Little Grape is indeed smarter than Ming'er and Feng'er. It's a pity that she is a princess. If she were a prince, she would definitely become a great man in the future."

"hehe!"

"Your Majesty, you should be thankful that Little Grape is a princess. If she were a prince, she would have died countless times."

"boom!"

Yun Zhining grimaced in pain when someone hit her on the head.

"Your Majesty, why did you hit me?"

"Because you deserve a beating."

"How can you say that about your own daughter?"

Yun Zhining said with a look of grievance.

"Is what I said wrong?"

"Even though Little Grape was a princess, she was still taken away by someone because she was the first child born after the emperor ascended the throne. She was the target of many schemes."

"I dare not think about it. If Little Grape was a prince, we might both die."

"So no matter which aspect you consider it from, I am extremely glad that Little Grape is a princess."

"Besides, because she is a princess, I love her even more and dote on her even more. I will never ignore her feelings or let her feel lonely just because she has brothers and sisters."

"Okay, okay, you are always right."

Seeing that he couldn't win the argument, Qi Yejing quickly ended the topic.

This was Yun Zhining's first time trying hunting, so she lacked experience and only managed to get some prey thanks to the novice protection period. However, she was already very satisfied.

As they were walking, a sika deer suddenly appeared in front of them. Yun Zhining was delighted and quickly pulled Qi Yejing's sleeve.

Qi Yejing understood what she meant instantly and immediately rode up to catch up.

However, it was not known whether the sika deer ran too fast or the horse ran too slowly because it was carrying two people, but after a while, the sika deer disappeared.

Yun Zhining was a little disappointed.

"I was thinking that once I hunted the sika deer, I would take it back to Qingning Palace and raise it for Little Putao to play with. But who knew that the deer would run so fast and disappear in a short while."

"It doesn't matter. We still have to stay here for four or five days. We have plenty of time. We can definitely help Little Putao hunt a sika deer."

"I hope so."

"Okay, since we didn't catch the deer, let's go back the way we came."

Yun Zhining nodded obediently.

A quarter of an hour later, she sat in the pit, looking up at the sky, deeply doubting that she had not checked the almanac before going out today. If she had known she would be so unlucky, she would never have followed Qi Yejing out.

Back to when it happened.

After failing to catch the sika deer, the two men planned to go back home. However, when they were passing by a meadow, the horse accidentally stepped on empty air and fell directly into a deep pit, breaking its leg.

If Qi Yejing hadn't reacted in time and helped her jump off the horse, she would probably be lying in the pit wailing like the horse.

Hey, what is going on?

Seeing that Yun Zhining was very regretful, Qi Yejing reached out and patted her, comforting her.

"Don't be afraid. Those people have been following me for a long time. If they haven't seen us after half an hour, they will come out to look for us. You don't have to worry."

"Although, I don't know why, I always feel very panicked, as if something is about to happen."

I don’t know what will happen next, but at this moment, Yun Zhining’s worries are unnecessary.

The sun gradually rose and shone on the people, making them tired.

Yun Zhining yawned and tears fell.

Qi Yejing patted her.

"If you're sleepy, take a nap."

"I'm not sleepy. I want to accompany the emperor."

Having said that, she still closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Qi Yejing reached out and touched her face, sighing softly.

Yun Zhining, you shouldn't have come today.
