Chapter 22 Lu Ze: Princess, do you really want me to kiss you?
Qi Yuning entered the room. Lingling had already woken up and was sitting on the bed. "Mom, dear!"
Lingling saw Qi Yuning's expression, got down from the bed, took Qi Yuning's hand and said, "Is mother angry?"
Qi Yuning looked at Lingling and Lu Ze's identical little faces, and in the end he did not vent his anger on Lingling. He squatted down and looked at Lingling's little face.
Qi Yuning asked: "Lingling, did Daddy and Mommy always quarrel in the past?"
Lingling shook her head and said, "No, Daddy and Mommy are really good! They kiss us often!"
Qi Yuning frowned and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Given what he said about me today, there is no way I can be good friends with Lu Ze.
Lichun walked up to Qi Yuning and said, "Princess, Master Lu asked me to ask..."
Lichun bravely said, "Today he is on leave, and wants to take Princess Lingling to go horseback riding. What do you think..."
Lingling's eyes sparkled as she said, "Ride a horse? Lingling wants to ride a horse! Mother, shall we go ride a horse?"
Qi Yuning looked at Lingling's smile, smiled gently, touched Lingling's little head and said, "Yeah."
Qi Yuning said to Lichun, "Let Master Lu wait. Lingling and I will go change into riding clothes."
Lingling was so happy when she learned that she was going to ride a horse that she jumped all over the place.
Qi Yuning asked the maid to comb Lingling's hair into a high bun and change her into a little boy's robe. She had transformed from a delicate little girl into a little boy.
Qi Yuning also put on a man's robe, let down her gorgeous bun, combed her long hair high, and put on the jade crown. When putting on the hairpin, Qi Yuning remembered that Lu Ze had not yet changed her hairpin back.
Lu Ze waited outside the Qiwang Courtyard for nearly an hour before he heard Lingling's voice coming from inside, "Mom, where are we going to ride horses?"
"To the Royal Stables."
Lu Ze saw the mother and daughter approaching from afar. Lingling was wearing little boy’s clothes, looking more like him when he was little.
Qi Yuning looked very heroic in her men's robe. No wonder she even changed her makeup after waiting for an hour.
When Qi Yuning passed by Lu Ze, she glanced at him coldly: "Where is Lu Baozhu?"
Lu Ze said, "I got impatient waiting, so I went to the horse farm by myself."
Qi Yuning carried Lingling into the carriage, and Lu Ze got on the carriage of Prince Qi's mansion shortly afterwards.
Qi Yuning said unhappily: "Doesn't your princess's mansion have its own carriage?"
Lu Ze paused after entering the carriage, and Lingling threw herself into his arms, "Mom, let Daddy ride in the carriage with us!"
The carriage of Prince Qi's mansion was extremely spacious, like a small house with everything you need inside, including a woolen blanket at the very back.
Lu Ze took a seat with Lingling in his arms, looked at Qi Yuning who looked unhappy and said, “I’m sorry, Princess, I shouldn’t have said that to you just now…”
Qi Yuning ignored Lu Ze.
Seeing this, Lingling came out of Lu Ze's arms and pointed a small wooden sword at Lu Ze.
"Daddy, did you make Mommy angry? How could you make Mommy angry? Didn't you say that Mommy is your favorite person?"
Lu Ze said: "Dad has already apologized."
Lingling frowned, "But mother is still angry."
Qi Yuning glanced at Lu Ze unhappily, showing in front of Lingling that she was still angry!
Lu Ze said: "Princess, I'm sorry, I hope you can be more magnanimous..."
Qi Yuning said sarcastically, "Don't do that. I, Qi Yuning, have a petty temper, I will never let go of any grudge, I am overbearing, I am not an adult, I am just a petty person, I am petty and calculative."
Lu Ze: “…”
Lingling said anxiously: "Daddy, Mom is still very angry, kiss Mom and she won't be angry anymore!"
Lu Ze was stunned.
Qi Yuning said: "Lingling, please don't give me any bad ideas!"
Lingling said: "In the past, when Daddy made Mom angry, he would kiss Mom, and then you wouldn't be angry anymore."
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning. He wouldn’t be like this six years later, right?
Qi Yuning became even angrier: "Lingling, stop talking nonsense!"
Lingling said: "I'm not talking nonsense. In the past, when Mom was angry, Daddy would always kiss Mom's face, and Mom would not be angry anymore. Daddy, please kiss Mom!"
Lu Ze coughed and asked Qi Yuning, "Is the princess still angry?"
Qi Yuning: “…”
Does she still dare to be angry? If she continues to be angry, Lingling will really let Lu Ze kiss her.
But Qi Yuning didn't want to forgive Lu Ze so easily.
"Still angry!"
Lingling pushed Lu Ze and said, "Daddy, look, you are still making Mommy angry. Go ahead and kiss Mommy!"
Lu Ze glanced at Qi Yuning, "Princess, are you really still angry?"
Qi Yuning raised her eyes slightly, "Why am I not angry? Didn't you say that I have a bad temper? I'm not as gentle and generous as other girls who can easily forgive you!"
Lu Ze approached Qi Yuning and said, "So, Princess, do you really want me to kiss you... before you can forgive me?"
Qi Yuning looked at her nail-painted hands and raised her hand to slap Lu Ze in the face. Lu Ze quickly grabbed Qi Yuning's hand and avoided the slap.
Lu Ze said sincerely, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that to the princess just now."
Qi Yuning took back her hand and said, "I've heard that Master Lu is a very talented writer. If you want me to forgive you, then you should write a poem to praise me. You have to write a thousand words!"
Lu Ze: “…”
Apart from her stunning appearance, the remaining 996 characters are beyond description.
Qi Yuning became even more annoyed when she saw Lu Ze's embarrassed expression: "Why, this princess is not worthy of your praise in a thousand-word poem?"
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 off 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 who managed the horse farm was Wang Zhiyong, the legitimate son of the Zhenbei Marquisate. He came forward and bowed, saying, "Prince Lu, Princess Qi."
Lu Ze nodded and said, "Brother Wang, I am sorry to bother you by coming to the stable today to take your child horseback riding."
Wang Zhiyong heard two days ago that Princess Qi had a three-year-old daughter who looked exactly like Master Lu, but there were different opinions as to 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 am not a young man, I am a young girl."
Qi Yuning said: "This is my daughter Lingling, and Lu Ze is just her equestrian teacher."
Wang Zhiyong said, "It turned out to be the little princess. Among the horses that Wan Kingdom recently sent as tribute, there happened to be a pony that was 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 was unwilling to admit it, if Lu Ze had not risked his life to save her eight years ago, she would have been missing an arm or a broken leg by now.
"Lingling, ride a small pony, not a big pony."
Lingling nodded obediently.
Wang Zhiyong led a red pony out. Lu Ze held Lingling in his arms and walked over. "Lingling, before you ride, touch the horse and say hello to it first..."
Qi Yuning looked at the father and daughter, and distant memories came back to her.
Eight years ago, the Western Regions offered tribute to the Ferghana horses. Qi Yuning had been able to ride all kinds of horses since she was young. At the age of ten, she was extremely brave and dared to ride an untamed Ferghana horse.
The big horse naturally refused to accept the defeat of 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 about twelve or thirteen years old at that time, was much taller than Qi Yuning, and 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, touch the horse's head first and greet it and make friends with it. Only then will the horse obey you."
Lingling's little hand touched the horse's fur, "Is this how you touch it?"
Lingling didn't get a response from Lu Ze, so she followed Lu Ze's gaze and looked at a big white horse: "Wow! That horse is so beautiful!"
Lu Ze glanced at Qi Yuning and asked, "Do you still remember Little Pearl?"
