Obsessively Raised by My Doll 134

Chapter 134

Ningning wants to give me a horse?

Although she had already had a vague guess in her heart, hearing these words, Lu Dieqing was still filled with joy.

But… but…

Sob, sob, sob. She had already accepted so much kindness from Ningning today. If she were to accept the horse as well, she would be even more embarrassed.

As the girl was struggling with this, Zheng Xuening lowered her head, her one hand slowly stroking her earlobe, her fingertips slowly sliding down to her neck.

Lu Dieqing immediately shrank back. She was a little sensitive, feeling both a tickle and an indescribable tingling sensation.

“Ningning?”

Her innocent almond eyes made Zheng Xuening’s heart inexplicably burn.

“If you have your own horse, you won’t have to always ride in a sedan chair in the future. You can go wherever you want on horseback. Isn’t that more freeing? Don’t you like it?”

Aiya, these words went straight to Lu Dieqing’s heart.

To be able to go wherever she wanted, whenever she wanted. This was too much freedom!

How could she not like it?

It was just that…

She was still hesitant, but Zheng Xuening had already led the date-red horse out of the stable.

The little horse was very lively, its eyes large, filled with a kind and gentle color, and its lashes were also very long.

Its hooves clopped on the ground, and it trotted to Lu Dieqing, then lowered its neck and nuzzled her.

It seemed that even the little horse knew who would become its true master. Seeing Lu Dieqing, it showed its affection.

“So cute.” Lu Dieqing couldn’t hold back and reached out to stroke the horse’s mane.

Zheng Xuening watched from the side, the corners of her lips curved, and her gaze towards Lu Dieqing became incomparably gentle.

Seeing the girl and the little horse standing together, she always had a feeling that she was the only adult, and the rest were children.

Her little rabbit had always had a naive air. Her almond eyes were not only beautiful, but also clear and moving.

Now, with one person and one horse, both looking at her with their eyes wide open, they were surprisingly in sync.

“This horse was also sent from the Western Regions. It’s just that it was born small and can only grow this tall. But don’t look down on it because of this. When it’s an adult, its bloodline will evolve, and it will even be able to travel a thousand li in a day.”

Zheng Xuening calmly introduced the origin of the little date-red horse.

Lu Dieqing listened attentively and intently, and her impression of this little horse grew even better.

“Look, it’s almost dark. Why don’t you try and see if you can ride the horse home before the sun sets completely?”

Zheng Xuening encouraged the girl.

Lu Dieqing was really easy to coax, too easily distracted.

Zheng Xuening’s suggestion immediately interested her.

“Then… I’ll give it a try?” she said in a small voice.

Zheng Xuening gave her an encouraging look and stroked the top of her head.

“Go on.”

She handed the horse’s reins to Lu Dieqing.

The saddle on the little date-red horse was complete. There was no need to prepare anything. Lu Dieqing could just mount it.

“Horse, let’s go.”

Lu Dieqing couldn’t even bear to use the whip. She just lowered her head, hugged the horse’s neck, and gently instructed it.

This little date-red horse was truly very intelligent. Hearing Lu Dieqing’s words, it immediately started to walk with a clatter of hooves.

Zheng Xuening mounted her own white steed and followed behind to protect her.

When she saw that Lu Dieqing was completely stable on the horse and no longer needed her to worry, Zheng Xuening was finally relieved and returned to Changning Palace.

Now, Helian had replaced the former Matron Li and often handled some of the matters of the palace staff in Changning Palace. Seeing Zheng Xuening return, she immediately came over to pay her respects.

“Does Your Highness wish to dine?”

Zheng Xuening remembered her little rabbit’s invitation, and her expression softened a little. She said, “No need.”

But then she thought of the Lu family’s meals, almost all of which were cooked by themselves. With four people eating together today, the preparations would probably be too rushed. So she changed her mind.

“Send the prepared meal to the Lu family.”

When she said “the Lu family,” Helian was slightly stunned, but she quickly realized where she meant.

Who else could it be? Of course, it was Miss Lu’s family.

It seemed that Her Highness was planning to go over for dinner.

Helian was happy to see this. Although the Lu family was just a simple family of three, they retained a rare and pure family affection, which was how Lu Dieqing’s personality had been nurtured to be so romantic.

Her Highness often visited the Lu family, and she could feel that her emotions had been untied a little, and she was no longer as tense as before. This was very rare.

After Lu Dieqing returned, she told Lu He and her husband about the house.

Lu He and Bai Ming looked at each other in dismay. After a moment, they asked in disbelief, “Is this true?”

Lu Dieqing smiled brilliantly. “As real as can be!”

She held Lu He’s arm, rested her head on her shoulder, and said coquettishly, “Mother, haven’t you and Father always been looking forward to leaving the imperial palace and having freedom? Now the opportunity is right in front of you. Isn’t that good?”

Lu He was moved.

“It is good, of course it is. It’s just that… I’m not sure if doing this will cause any trouble for the Crown Princess.”

Lu He knew that the matter of hostages was not something an heir could decide on her own.

Before, when the old emperor of the Chaoying Kingdom was angry, hadn’t he thrown the Crown Princess into the sky prison at the slightest disagreement? It was clear that the Son of Heaven’s trust and favor did not count and could be withdrawn at any time.

If the Crown Princess were to let their family out of the palace and something were to happen, she was afraid that others would make an issue of it and, in turn, drag the Crown Princess down.

Hearing her mother say this, Lu Dieqing was also stunned. She said, “But…”

Her lips moved twice, but Lu Dieqing couldn’t get the words out.

Seeing his wife and daughter both a little worried, Bai Ming couldn’t help but comfort them.

“We’ll see how things go. If it’s feasible, it’s naturally best to be able to leave the palace. But if not, we shouldn’t be disappointed.”

“Since the Crown Princess has spoken of this matter, she must be confident.”

As he said this, Lu Dieqing and Lu He’s hearts felt a little better.

“That’s right.” A voice suddenly came from outside.

The three people in the room turned their heads in unison.

Zheng Xuening was followed by Helian and other palace staff, carrying food boxes.

She had changed into a brocade robe, not the usual ruqun. Her whole person was heroic and spirited. Standing there, even without any decorative or powerful things to prove her identity, one could notice her at a glance.

Zheng Xuening’s eyes swept over the three of them and showed a smile.

“Uncle and Auntie, you don’t need to worry. This Princess has just gone to see my father, the Emperor, and has already obtained a verbal command, allowing Uncle and Auntie to return to the Shan Kingdom.”

After saying this, Zheng Xuening focused on observing her little rabbit, to see what her reaction would be.

Lu Dieqing, like her parents, upon hearing this huge good news, almost couldn’t hold it in and almost jumped up.

“We can go back to the Shan Kingdom?”

Lu He’s eyes immediately reddened. She clenched her hands and looked at her husband and daughter.

Lu Dieqing, however, in the midst of this ecstasy, inappropriately thought of her and Ningning’s relationship.

If my parents go back to the Shan Kingdom, then what about me?

Should I go back with them, or stay here with Ningning?

But in an instant, Lu Dieqing had made up her mind.
