Yu Jingchen couldn't help but chuckle at the change in Nan Zhiyun's eyes; this girl's thoughts were completely written on her face.

"Keep it?" Yu Jingchen's eyes crinkled with a smile.

"His Majesty sent them, let's keep them." Nan Zhiyun suddenly realized that with so many rabbits, there would definitely be more ways to cook them later.

Upon hearing Nan Zhiyun's reply, Yu Jingchen immediately ordered the items to be removed. Apart from the rabbits, the other fox pelts were also carefully prepared and sent to Nan Zhiyun; they were all in perfect condition and of the highest quality.

"Did Consort Yuan bring people to bother you today?" Yu Jingchen suddenly asked.

“I didn’t see them. Qianxia stopped them. Your Majesty, they shouldn’t need to pay their respects to me, right?” Nan Zhiyun asked cautiously, because she wasn’t quite sure what Yu Jingchen was thinking.

“I know you like to sleep, it’s fine, just sleep. Don’t pay attention to them. I’ll also give instructions regarding the spring hunt, telling them not to bother you,” Yu Jingchen said.

"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty." Nan Zhiyun couldn't be happier. What's wrong with being able to escape to a peaceful life? She hated doing these kinds of things the most.

"There's no need to thank me." Yu Jingchen was completely powerless against Nan Zhiyun's obedient nature.

"There's a banquet tonight, you'll come with me." Yu Jingchen changed the subject; everyone who participated in the spring hunt would attend the banquet on the first night.

“Okay.” Nan Zhiyun did not object; it was just a banquet, there was no reason to refuse.

After hearing Nan Zhiyun agree, Yu Jingchen patted his head and said, "Why is Yun'er being so well-behaved?"

“I used to be a good girl too,” Nan Zhiyun replied rather shamelessly.

"Yes, yes, she used to be very well-behaved." Yu Jingchen went along with her. Wasn't this just like raising a little girl? Because she had been pampered by Yu Jingchen these days, Nan Zhiyun seemed to be becoming more and more childish.

But why is Yu Jingchen so happy about Nan Zhiyun's transformation, and even a little proud? Looking at Nan Zhiyun's pure and beautiful appearance now, Yu Jingchen can't bear to let her change.

Dinner

Everyone had arrived. There were two seats side by side at the head of the banquet. It was obvious who these two seats were reserved for, and this arrangement must have been at Yu Jingchen's behest, otherwise no one would have set them up like this.

After all, only one person can sit in the seat next to Yu Jingchen... Strictly speaking, even that seat should be moved back a little, but today the seats are on the same horizontal line.

Every decree and arrangement by Yu Jingchen has its own meaning, so it is clear that this is to elevate Nan Zhiyun's status and to test everyone's attitude towards that matter.

"His Majesty has arrived! Consort Chen Shu has arrived!" Xing Lai shouted.

Then, Nan Zhiyun was seen walking in hand in hand with Yu Jingchen, their fingers intertwined—no one had ever received such treatment before.

"Welcome, Your Majesty!" The people below knelt on the ground.

Nan Zhiyun originally wanted to let go of Yu Jingchen's hand, since her current status was not high enough to receive such a grand gesture from so many people, but Yu Jingchen wouldn't let go.

Yu Jingchen turned to look at Nan Zhiyun, smiled gently, and then took her hand and walked with her to their seats.
