When Ji Lingzhou heard this condition, he also raised his eyebrows: "Is this what Ranran wants to do this time?"

Cheng Mingran was exposed, but there was no embarrassment on her face. Instead, she replied: "Since we are out hunting, I think this is a very normal thing, right?" Ji Lingzhou gave her the riding clothes, so of course she would not waste this opportunity.

"Yes, yes, yes, whatever you want, I promise you." Ji Lingzhou said.

Cheng Mingran was instantly delighted after hearing this: "Then what are your conditions, Your Majesty?" She did not hide her excitement at all.

"My conditions..." Ji Lingzhou pretended to be mysterious.

Cheng Mingran looked at him curiously. What did Ji Lingzhou want that he couldn't get? She also wanted to know what Ji Lingzhou would let her do.

"I want..." Ji Lingzhou leaned close to Cheng Mingran and whispered something in her ear.

Cheng Mingran's eyes suddenly widened and her face flushed. She subconsciously pushed the person away, feeling completely at a loss as to what to do.

"No, no," Cheng Mingran refused in a low voice, almost not daring to look Ji Lingzhou in the eye.

But Ji Lingzhou's mood seemed to be getting better and better. Looking at Cheng Mingran's current state, he was even more teasing: "Why not? If Ranran refuses me, then I will have to reconsider what Ranran said just now." He pretended to be embarrassed, just to provoke Cheng Mingran into taking the bait.

Sure enough, Cheng Mingran hesitated. It was just that his condition was indeed a bit difficult, okay? But on second thought, Ji Lingzhou might not be able to win the bet.

Besides, even if I win the bet, I can still deny it later. Thinking of this, Cheng Mingran's reluctance seemed to fade a lot.

"Okay, I agree. Let's bet." Cheng Mingran suddenly became confident.

Ji Lingzhou's lips curved slightly: "Ranran is really confident, huh? Then let's make it like this, a gentleman's agreement."

Cheng Mingran nodded: "Okay"

The smile on Ji Lingzhou's lips grew bigger and bigger. This silly girl didn't even know she had fallen into a trap, so let her be happy for a while. I just hope she doesn't cry when she loses.

Cheng Mingran had no idea that she had been plotted against. No matter what happened, he certainly couldn't force her as long as she didn't want to... right?

The carriage went all the way to the palace. On the way, Cheng Mingran got into Ji Lingzhou's carriage and never got off again. The two stayed together.

After arriving at the hunting ground, Ji Lingzhou did not deliberately make trouble for anyone. He knew that Cheng Mingran must be tired after the journey, so he asked someone to settle their luggage and went straight back to the tent.

In fact, the hunting site was not far from the temporary palace, but for convenience, Ji Lingzhou still had people set up camp. In the past, during the spring hunt, some noble concubines, daughters of wealthy families, and ministers' families who did not participate in the hunting grounds would be placed in the temporary palace, and this year was the same.

But the only difference is...

"Ranran wants to go to the palace or stay in the tent?" Ji Lingzhou asked.

"I used to stay in the palace, and I also want to experience what it's like to be in a tent." Cheng Mingran was really curious, and although it was called setting up camp, how could Ji Lingzhou's tent be an ordinary tent? The conditions must be top-notch.

"Okay, then you come with me." Ji Lingzhou said. Are they going to live in the same tent together? During the hunting trip for so many days, Cheng Mingran stayed with His Majesty every day... I don't know how many people envied him.

But Cheng Mingran didn't care at all what these people thought, because no matter what they thought, it was their business and had nothing to do with her.

But if they want to cause trouble, or act like a bastard in front of me, I won't let them do whatever they want.

Since she had originally planned to stay in the palace and make good use of Ji Lingzhou's specialness, she had never thought about deliberately letting him go.

On the day of hunting, Cheng Mingran also got up early, after all, she also wanted to join in the fun today. On the first day of hunting, the emperor had to personally give the hunting signal, then walk to the hunting grounds and shoot the first arrow.

At dawn, a faint golden glow appeared in the sky, spreading like brocade over the vast royal hunting grounds. In the hunting grounds, among the dense trees, birds chirped, as if telling of the upcoming hunting feast.

At this time, Ji Lingzhou was riding a magnificent warhorse, his armor gleaming like dragon scales in the sun. Behind him were teams of royal guards ready to go, their armor shining, their spears like a forest, their momentum as strong as a rainbow.

The drums roared and the hunting horns blew, reverberating over the hunting ground like the sounds of nature. Ji Lingzhou held the reins tightly, his eyes scanning the dense jungle ahead, as if he had seen through the fog in the forest and locked onto the figure of his prey.

When everything was almost ready, at Ji Lingzhou's signal, drums thundered and trumpets blew.

Cheng Mingran looked at the scene in front of her, and her heart became nervous and expectant as the drum beats became more frequent. She hadn't felt this way for a long time. Looking at Ji Lingzhou on the warhorse, Cheng Mingran's thoughts gradually drifted away, as if she had returned to her childhood, when Ji Lingzhou was as high-spirited as he is now.

The guards presented the first feather arrow, which would be shot by Ji Lingzhou himself. Ji Lingzhou took it, and the palace servants who had been prepared long ago also released the prey they had prepared long ago from the cage and let it fly out.

Ji Lingzhou aimed at the prey and shot an arrow right in the target! The next moment, the royal guards galloped on their horses like arrows from a bow, rushing straight into the jungle. For a moment, the hunting ground was filled with thundering horseshoes and flying dust. It was truly shocking!

This was not the first time Cheng Mingran had seen this kind of scene, but she always had a different feeling every time she saw it. She had been staring at Ji Lingzhou on the horse. In the hunting ground, he gave people a different feeling...

When she was a child, she had come to the hunting ground with her father and the Queen Mother. At that time, Ji Lingzhou was still a prince and also participated in hunting.

Compared to the childish him back then, Ji Lingzhou now feels much more oppressive from the emperor. He really gives people a feeling that he cannot be desecrated or violated.

However, when Cheng Mingran was still immersed in her own thoughts, Ji Lingzhou had come to her side without her knowing when: "What are you still thinking about? Are you stunned?" he asked.

Cheng Mingran came back to her senses, but when she looked at Ji Lingzhou, the him in the past and the him now seemed to be slowly overlapping. At that moment, Cheng Mingran suddenly felt a little dazed. Who was she...
