So he took her hand and led her downstairs, across the path under the grape arbor, introducing his horses to her as they walked.
Little Bray was just under three months old, and Huangfu Jue had bought him only a month ago. The little fellow had been so thin when he arrived, almost all skin and bones. Standing in the stable and introducing Bray, pride resonated in Huangfu Jue's tone.
"In one month, it has gained seven pounds. I believe it will grow up quickly, and then you can ride it."
She glanced at the hand still holding hers, then gestured towards another horse in the stable.
"May I ride that one?"
Having finished touring the stables, if she didn't find something to do, she would have no reason to stay.
Even though she was still wearing the fancy dress from the masquerade, she didn't mind riding at all.
So, he called someone to put a bridle on another horse in the stable.
After helping her into a side-saddle position, he led her by the reins toward the grassy slope.
