Cheng Mingran slept for a long time, and when she woke up, the carriage was almost arriving.

"Is the Queen awake?" Shuhua asked Cheng Mingran as she slowly opened her eyes.

"What time is it?" Cheng Mingran yawned slightly.

"It's sunset at twilight hour." Shuhua poured a glass of water for Cheng Mingran.

So late? Cheng Mingran opened the car curtain and saw that it was already dusk outside.

"How long will it take to get to the palace?" Cheng Mingran asked.

"It should be more than half an hour. Are you tired, Your Majesty?" Shuhua asked.

Cheng Mingran shook her head: "It's okay. Where is His Majesty? Did anyone tell him anything? Or did anything happen on the way?" She asked again, because she really didn't expect that she would sleep so long.

"His Majesty did send someone to ask a few questions, but after knowing that the queen was still resting, he didn't say anything else." Shuhua replied.

Cheng Mingran supported her head with one hand and said, "You can call me next time. We can't keep His Majesty waiting."

Shuhua laughed: "Your Majesty is afraid of disturbing your Majesty's rest. Who doesn't know that your Majesty loves your Majesty the most now?"

Cheng Mingran was helpless, but she didn't want to continue explaining. However, at this time, someone else came outside: "Aunt Shuhua, His Majesty sent someone to ask if the queen has woken up?"

Shuhua looked at Cheng Mingran: "Your Majesty has sent people to call him several times. He really can't live without the Empress."

"Does His Majesty have any instructions?" Cheng Mingran asked.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty has sent someone to invite you to come over and have dinner with him." said the palace servant outside.

Cheng Mingran did not refuse: "Tell His Majesty that I will go right away."

It was indeed time for dinner. Cheng Mingran didn't feel anything just now, but she was really hungry now.

When Cheng Mingran arrived at Ji Lingzhou's carriage, various meals were already placed in front of Ji Lingzhou. One has to say, it's not bad to be an emperor.

"Are you awake?" Ji Lingzhou asked when he saw Cheng Mingran coming over.

Cheng Mingran nodded, and Ji Lingzhou reached out and pulled her to sit down beside him: "Why did you sleep for so long today? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"I'm not feeling unwell anywhere. I just didn't sleep well last night, so I slept a little longer today," said Cheng Mingran.

"I thought you would sleep like this until dark. If you continue to sleep, I'm afraid I'll have to ask the imperial physician to check on you." Ji Lingzhou said half-jokingly.

Cheng Mingran yawned again, and Ji Lingzhou raised his eyebrows: "Are you still asleep?"

"I just woke up and feel a little drowsy." Cheng Mingran looked at the delicious food on the table. These things were her favorite.

Ji Lingzhou served her some soup: "Drink a bowl of soup first." he said.

Ji Lingzhou's carriage was very different from other carriages. It was spacious and comfortable, and not too bumpy.

Cheng Mingran's stomach had been impatient for a long time, so she didn't pretend to be reserved. She picked up the bowl and started drinking. It tasted pretty good.

It's just that the cooks have to cook while traveling. Cheng Mingran looked at Ji Lingzhou: "Will His Majesty go hunting in person?" she asked.

"Of course, isn't it the same every year?" Ji Lingzhou said. The first prey of each year was hunted by him personally, and it had to be.

"Then will Your Majesty participate in the hunting competition?" Cheng Mingran started asking questions again.

"It depends on my mood. Why does Ranran ask these questions?" Ji Lingzhou suddenly became curious.

"I just suddenly wanted to ask, but if we compete with His Majesty, does anyone dare to win?" Cheng Mingran was really curious. As a concubine, she had never cared much about these things before, but now she just wanted to ask.

Ji Lingzhou laughed when he heard this: "Of course no one dares to win, but... it can't be said that they don't dare, but that they can't win anyway." As he spoke, he seemed to become more arrogant. Cheng Mingran didn't believe it when he heard this.

Seeing Cheng Mingran's questioning expression, Ji Lingzhou's competitive spirit rose up: "What's with that expression, Ranran? Could it be that you don't believe in my ability?"

"Your Majesty is really confident." Cheng Mingran couldn't say that she didn't believe it at all. After all, she knew in her heart that Ji Lingzhou had always been a man of both civil and military talents.

Ji Lingzhou was helpless: "You don't even have this much confidence in me? Then why don't I make a bet with Ranran, okay?"

"What bet?" Cheng Mingran also became a little interested.

"Let's bet on whether I will win this time." Ji Lingzhou said.

Cheng Mingran looked doubtful: "Then how and what does Your Majesty want to bet?" she asked.

"Hmm... what are you betting on?" Ji Lingzhou seemed to have really thought about it. In the end, he didn't know what he thought of. He looked at Cheng Mingran and said, "Let's bet on one condition. If I win, Ranran, you have to agree to one condition of mine. If you win the bet, I will agree to one condition of yours, okay?"

Cheng Mingran thought about it seriously for a while, and finally refused firmly: "I don't want to gamble."

"Why?" Ji Lingzhou was surprised.

"Because I can't win no matter what." Cheng Mingran said as a matter of course.

"How can you say that?" Ji Lingzhou asked her.

"Because you have the final say on whether we win or lose. If you take hunting seriously, no one else will dare to compete with you, so you will definitely win." After thinking about it, Cheng Mingran felt that this bet was not particularly worthwhile.

Ji Lingzhou raised his eyebrows when he heard these words: "Well... I heard that there is a white tiger in the hunting ground this time. If I can kill the white tiger, I win. If I can't, Ranran wins. Is this okay?"

White tiger? Cheng Mingran had never seen a white tiger before, but she was still a little hesitant: "This is too dangerous. If something happens to your majesty, I can't bear the consequences."

"You dare to talk nonsense, what kind of accident can happen? Ranran doesn't believe me." Ji Lingzhou also said.

Cheng Mingran pursed her lips, hesitated for a long time, and finally asked: "What are the conditions?"

"Of course we'll have to wait until the results come out before we can talk about this." Is Ji Lingzhou planning a trick?

But Cheng Mingran really didn't buy it: "No, what if I don't want to agree to your conditions later? So I have to state the conditions first before I can start gambling.

Ji Lingzhou: "..." Doesn't this frame contain people?

"Then Ranran, what conditions do you want?" Ji Lingzhou compromised with a doting look on his face.

"Well, I want to ride a horse, you teach me archery, and then take me hunting later." Cheng Mingran didn't hesitate at all, and it seemed like she had thought about it a long time ago.
