Lu Ze: "It's worth it. I'll give it to the princess tomorrow."
It was almost three quarters past three when the carriage arrived at the Royal Stables, and Lu Baozhu had already run two laps.
Lu Ze got off the carriage first, reached out to take Lingling who had jumped out of the carriage, and then reached out to help Qi Yuning.
Qi Yuning didn't let Lu Ze help her and jumped out of the carriage by herself.
Lu Ze withdrew his hand angrily.
The Imperial Horse Supervisor, Wang Zhiyong, the legitimate son of the Marquis of Zhenbei, came forward to greet them, bowed and said, "Prince Lu, Princess Qi."
Lu Ze nodded and said, "Brother Wang, I'm sorry to bother you by coming to the stables today to take your child horseback riding."
Wang Zhiyong had heard two days ago that Princess Qi had a three-year-old daughter who looked exactly like Master Lu, but there were different opinions on whether she was Master Lu's daughter. Today, when he saw Lu Ze holding a three-year-old boy, he was a little confused.
"Master Lu, this young man is..."
Lingling said: "I'm not a young man, I'm a young girl."
Qi Yuning said, "This is my daughter Lingling. Lu Ze is just her equestrian teacher."
Wang Zhiyong said, "It's the little princess. Among the horses that the Wan Kingdom recently sent as tribute, there happened to be a pony that would be suitable for the little princess."
Lingling said: "I don't want to ride a pony, I want to ride a big pony!"
Lu Ze smiled and rubbed Lingling's head. "Big horses are not good. Your mother almost fell off a big horse when she was a child."
Lingling asked doubtfully, "Really?"
Qi Yuning pursed her lips. Although she didn't want to admit it, if Lu Ze hadn't sacrificed himself to save her eight years ago, she would have been missing an arm or a leg by now.
"Lingling, ride a small pony, not a big one."
Lingling nodded obediently.
Wang Zhiyong led a red pony out. Lu Ze came forward with Lingling in his arms. "Lingling, before you ride, pet the horse and say hello..."
Qi Yuning looked at the father and daughter, and distant memories came back to her.
Eight years ago, the Western Regions offered tribute to Qi Yuning with Ferghana horses. Qi Yuning has been able to ride various horses since she was a child. When she was ten years old, she was so brave that she even dared to ride an untamed Ferghana horse.
The big horse naturally refused to accept a ten-year-old girl. Qi Yuning was almost thrown off the horse by the mad horse. It was Lu Ze who came on horseback, caught up with her horse, jumped on it, held the reins tightly and tamed the horse.
The boy, who was twelve or thirteen years old at that time, was much taller than Qi Yuning. The ten-year-old girl could only hug the boy's waist tightly.
"Sister Qi, when you want to ride a horse in the future, please touch the horse's head first and greet it and make friends with it. Only then will the horse obey you."
Lingling's little hands touched the horse's fur, "Is this how you touch it?"
Lingling didn't get a response from Lu Ze. She followed Lu Ze's gaze and looked at a large white horse: "Wow! That horse is so beautiful!"
Lu Ze glanced at Qi Yuning and asked, "Do you still remember little Pearl?"
