Qin Yanning stood up and looked at Shen Ziyu, only to see him take out a cat wrapped in silk from his arms.

The cat was extremely small and looked like it was just one month old. It might be a white cat or one with some spots on it. Because it was a little dirty, Qin Yanning couldn't tell what it was for a moment.

Shen Ziyu wrapped the cat in silk cloth for fear that it would dirty his clothes.

Qin Yanning didn't understand what Shen Ziyu meant, so Shen Ziyu pointed at Qin Yanning's hand.

Only then did Qin Yanning realize that there were two pine nut shells on the back of her hand. Her face turned red and she picked off the pine nut shells.

"I found this kitten in the bushes when I was out in the mountains. I guess it got lost along with the other cat during the recent heavy rain."

"I saw it was quite handsome, so I picked it up to keep you company. If you don't like it, I'll let Chang Yin take it back to raise."

Qin Yanning didn't expect Shen Ziyu to be so kind. Although he said that if Qin Yanning didn't like it, she could give it to Chang Yin to raise, his eyes were full of words that said, "Hurry up and accept it."

[So cute! I like it.]

Listening to Qin Yanning's inner thoughts, Shen Ziyu smiled with satisfaction.

Qin Yanning liked kittens in the first place, so there was no reason for her to refuse. She turned around and motioned Lan Yue to take the kitten and feed it some goat milk first.

Dingshan is a hunting ground with countless captive animals. Other things are hard to find, but goat milk is not rare.

After receiving the order, Lan Yue took the cat and went to the hunting ground to ask for goat milk.

Shen Ziyu also asked the Yan family's followers to unload the two wild geese on his horse and find a place to raise them.

Qin Yanning took a peek and saw that one of the wild geese was injured, but the other was intact. He didn't know how Shen Ziyu had hunted it.

When Shen Ziyu saw Qin Yanning pressing small flowers on her hands, he knew she was bored.

He lowered his brows slightly. "Let's go run a few laps at the horse ranch next door. I guess the hunters won't be back by noon. After the run, let Chang Yin roast a lamb for you to try."

Autumn hunting was originally a sport enjoyed by the emperor and his ministers, and the rules were not very strict. Except for the last day, the emperor would not force his ministers who came to the hunting trip to have the emperor accompany him at every meal.

As for the ministers' families, there was no rule that required them to accompany them, so Shen Ziyu asked Qin Yanning this question.

Qin Yanning's eyes lit up and he looked at Old Madam Yan. Old Madam Yan didn't want to restrain Qin Yanning, and since Shen Ziyu and Qin Yanning's marriage had already been decided, she didn't stop the two of them.

However, Shen Ziyu asked two maids from the Yan family who could ride horses to accompany him. Although he and Qin Yanning were engaged, they had not yet married.

Qin Yanning went with him alone, fearing that someone would criticize her behind her back.

Seeing this, Madam Yan nodded with satisfaction.

When he arrived at the horse racing enclosure, Qin Yanning saw Chang Yin waiting with a white horse.

This white horse is shorter than Shen Ziyu's black horse, but its coat is brighter. When the light shines on it, its long mane glows silver.

Shen Ziyu took the reins from Chang Yin and said, "This horse is called Zhuiyun. It has a very docile temperament. Why don't you try it?"

Qin Yanning had ridden a horse before, and the original owner of this body was a girl with extraordinary strength. Shen Ziyu held the reins, and she grabbed the saddle and climbed on.

Shen Ziyu was a little slow to react. Didn’t the people below say that Qin Yanning couldn’t ride or shoot?

Qin Yanning understood Shen Ziyu's doubts and said with a smile, "I saw my mother riding a horse when I was a child. After she passed away, my uncle gave me a pony as a gift, but I'm not very good at riding."

Shen Ziyu did not pursue the matter. Qin Yanning also had the blood of the Yan family, so it was not surprising that he had some talent in riding and shooting.

When the maid of the Yan family saw Qin Yanning mounted the horse, she stepped forward to take the reins from Shen Ziyu and take her cousin for a walk around the field.

Shen Ziyu didn't hand over the reins, "I will take Ning'er for a walk myself."

Chang Yin on the side rubbed his eyes again and again. His own prince actually went to such lengths to please the future princess.

Qin Yanning was also a little embarrassed, but Shen Ziyu did not allow her to refute and took Zhuiyun to the other side of the horse farm.

Qin Yanning looked down at Shen Ziyu who was leading the horse. The man was tall and slender, and from the back one could tell that he was a handsome guy with a broad waist and narrow back.

Shen Ziyu seemed to have eyes behind him and whispered, "Sit up straight and hold the horse's belly with your legs to prevent you from falling."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yanning quickly looked at his nose and mouth with concern, straightened his back and sat on the horse.

Although the two stopped talking, Shen Ziyu's ears were still busy.

【What a nice weather today. 】

Shen Ziyu raised his head slightly, agreeing in his heart that the weather today was indeed good. It was autumn with clear skies and a rare sunny day.

[Shen Ziyu is truly a good husband.]

Shen Ziyu nodded. What he said was... correct.

[I don't know what Shen Ziyu's horse is called.]

Windwalker.

What should we name the kitten today?

…

Qin Yanning muttered for a long time, and Shen Ziyu finally spoke.

"What are you going to name today's kitten?"

Qin Yanning hesitated for a long time but couldn't come up with a suitable one. She was also bad at naming.

Just after completing a circle, Shen Ziyu reached out to support Qin Yanning so that she could get off the horse. Qin Yanning did not hesitate, and then Shen Ziyu took his strength away from Zhuiyun.

She hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, and when she got off, she didn't stand steadily and leaned into Shen Ziyu's arms. For a moment, Shen Ziyu smelled that pleasant fragrance again.

I don’t know whose incense she uses, Shen Ziyu thought to himself.

He supported Qin Yanning and said, "Why not just call me An An? It will be An Ning if it is combined with your name."

"No matter what happens to the Qin family or the court in the future, this prince will protect your peace."

Qin Yanning looked up at Shen Ziyu. His expression was still stern, as if the soothing words just now were not said by him.

Qin Yanning hummed, "Just call me An An."

Shen Ziyu clapped his hands, and Chang Yin quickly led his black horse over.

"Cloud Chaser is too gentle. Would you like to try my Wind Walker?"

Qin Yanning looked at the handsome black horse in front of him and nodded.

Tafeng was a bit of a hot-tempered person, so Qin Yanning tried several times before he could get on successfully. However, Shen Ziyu didn't waste any effort and just turned over and sat behind Qin Yanning.

Shen Ziyu held the reins from behind Qin Yanning, squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, and rode faster, taking the two of them deep into the horse farm.

Qin Yanning was having fun, but Shen Ziyu was stiff.

Somehow, I could smell the faint fragrance of the little girl in front of me and feel the softness of her body.

A part of him that had been stagnant for more than a decade seemed to be reacting.

Shen Ziyu only felt hot all over, and some inexplicable desire stirred up huge waves in his body.

Qin Yanning was of course aware of something poking her from behind, but at the moment her attention was drawn to something else.

Shen Ziyu followed Qin Yanning's gaze and saw a woman in light green clothes walking towards the depths of Dingshan in the distance outside their enclosure.

Our regent was doubting his life, how come he suddenly became okay? My Ningning wouldn't suspect that he was an old pervert, right?
