Ning Bao nodded.
"I like it, I like it."
Zhou Chengxing affectionately pinched his little daughter's cheek.
"The horses in the Northern Desert are excellent. When I get back, I'll find you a foal."
Ningbao will raise it herself then, and it will grow up alongside you.
"Great! Great!"
Ningbao was overjoyed to hear that her father was going to find her a horse.
Although we now have Chixiao at home, Chixiao is indeed quite old, and its health has deteriorated a lot recently.
She's asked her senior brother to prescribe medicine for Chixiao several times already, to the point that he's constantly nagging her about it...
He's always the one treating cats or horses; last time, it was his senior brother who cured her big gray donkey's diarrhea.
The senior doctor keeps saying that he, a genius doctor whose consultation fee exceeds ten thousand, is about to become a veterinarian.
Chixiao fought alongside Grandpa Zhou his entire life, and Ningbao now only hopes that it can enjoy its old age in peace.
Suddenly Ningbao remembered what her father had just said.
"Dad, are you leaving? When are you leaving? Ningbao will miss you."
Zhou Chengxing sighed. He was also reluctant to part with his wife and children, but as the Prince of Zhenbei, he had his own responsibilities.
It is often said that "with great power comes great responsibility and great risk".
He has been away for some time now. The situation in the Northern Desert is already unstable. If the enemy country finds out that he is not in the army, they will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been difficult to reconcile, and he hopes that his efforts can bring more peace and stability to his family and the people.
Zhou Chengxing mounted his horse and, while urging it on, spoke softly to his daughter in his arms.
"It is my father's responsibility to guard the border as the Prince of Zhenbei."
But don't worry, Dad will come back to see you whenever he has time.
If you miss your father, you can go to the Northern Desert to find him. The terrain there is vast, and he can take you horseback riding.
Ning Bao's eyes lit up.
"Can Ningbao go?"
“Of course you can go.” Zhou Chengxing looked at Ning Bao with a serious expression.
"We have a royal palace in the Northern Desert. Your mother and brothers all lived there, ever since you..."
Since your mother fell ill, I was afraid that the cold north was not suitable for her to recuperate, so I did not let her stay in the Northern Prince's Palace.
Your mother's health has improved a lot thanks to your senior brother's treatment, and she will be fully recovered in a while.
You can go to the Northern Desert together, if…”
Zhou Chengxing paused for a moment,
"If you can't bear to leave your relatives on the Mu family's side, you can take them with you if they'd like."
Ning Bao nodded and then shook her head.
"We'll go see Dad once Mom is better. We won't take Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, or Mom with us."
This is their home, and they certainly don't want to leave. Besides, the journey is too bumpy, and Ningbao doesn't want them to be too tired.
If the older brothers want to go, they can go together. After all, it's good for young people to get out and about more.
The book says that reading many books is not as good as traveling many roads.
However, Ningbao can't stay in the Northern Desert forever; she needs to come back to be with her mother, father, and grandparents.
Although Zhou Chengxing was a little jealous when he heard that his daughter was thinking about the Mu family, he quickly let it go.
"Okay! Whether it's the Mu family or the Zhou family, we are all your relatives. You can live wherever you want, as long as you wish."
"Sit tight, Dad's going to speed things up."
Today, Zhou Chengxing is taking Ningbao into the mountains, specifically to Leng Wei's training base.
This cold guard was trained by the previous Lady Hou herself.
Madam Hou was a remarkable woman, but unfortunately, she didn't live long. She passed away not long after Shen Tingshan and Gu Yunrou got married.
After the death of the old Lady Hou, the cold guard should rightfully be passed on to her son, Shen Tingshan, who is also Shen Muyang's biological father.
But no, the old lady of the Marquis handed Leng Wei over to the old Marquis directly.
