Su Lingyue rested for another two days and her cold felt much better. She then remembered what Xiao Yu had said before about teaching her how to ride a horse.

"Your Majesty, I feel much better today, and the weather is good today, so why don't you teach me how to ride a horse today?"

Xiao Yu raised his eyes and looked at Su Lingyue who was expecting something. Considering her health, he refused. "Yue'er's cold has just recovered. She doesn't have the opportunity to ride a horse on weekdays. It won't be too late to teach her next summer."

"I put on an extra layer of clothing today so I can ride a horse. I'm not cold at all. I can just put on a cape. How about that?"

Seeing Su Lingyue so persistent, and looking at the pair of bright eyes in front of him full of expectation, he really couldn't refuse.

Xiao Yu put the book down and smiled dotingly, "Then just study for one hour."

Seeing that Xiao Yu agreed to teach her how to ride a horse, Caidie took out a cloak and put it on her.

Su Lingyue followed Xiao Yu to the stables of the palace and looked at the dozen or so horses inside, all of different sizes and coat colors.

Their coats are shiny and glossy, and it seems that these horses are well taken care of.

Su Lingyue looked at it and didn't know how to choose for a moment.

There was a black horse among them. Su Lingyue recognized it at a glance and ran to the front of the horse happily, "This is the horse we rode that day!"

"Yes, it is this." Xiao Yu answered behind Su Lingyue.

Su Lingyue picked up a handful of grass and fed it to the horse. The horse was not picky about food and ate all the grass that Su Lingyue gave it. After eating, it bared its teeth, which made Su Lingyue chuckle.

It is said that horses look like the people they are raised by, but Su Lingyue feels that Xiao Yu and Zhuifeng have completely different personalities.

Xiao Yu is often lonely, but this horse looks very happy.

"Your Majesty, your horse is really interesting. Does it have a name?"

Xiao Yu also took a handful of grass to feed it, "Chasing the Wind."

"Chasing the Wind, what a majestic name, it should run very fast!"

"Well, it's the fastest one here."

Through Xiao Yu's words, Su Lingyue realized that he was seriously injured at the beginning, and it was Zhuifeng who carried him to a clinic, which saved his life temporarily.

After hearing what Xiao Yu said, Su Lingyue liked this horse even more.

Su Lingyue scratched its chin and said to Xiao Yu, "I want to choose one too and cultivate a good relationship with it."

After looking around, Su Lingyue found a white foal with sharp eyes and an unfriendly look.

But she really liked this color, and white also matched Xiao Yu's horse.

"How about the white one? Does it have a name?"

Seeing that Xiao Yu did not answer for a long time, Su Lingyue turned and looked at Xiao Yu beside her.

Xiao Yu's eyes darkened slightly, and no one knew what he was thinking. There was an emotion in his eyes that Su Lingyue could not understand.

"Yue'er, this one won't work, let's try another one."

"Why?" Su Lingyue was puzzled.

Xiao Yu regained his composure and replied calmly, "It doesn't let anyone else ride it."

Upon hearing this, Su Lingyue looked at the horse with sharp eyes with regret. One could tell from the look in its eyes that it was no ordinary creature.

"Can the prince ride it?"

"Yeah." Xiao Yu responded lightly.

Su Lingyue became interested after hearing this and looked at Xiao Yu, "Is this also your horse?"

It must have taken Xiao Yu a lot of effort to tame such a stubborn horse.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Yu replied in a deep voice: "No, this is an old friend."

Su Lingyue turned her head to look at Xiao Yu. He was looking down at the ground, as if he was lost in thought again.

"...Where is that old friend?"

"He died seven years ago."

Su Lingyue also fell silent. After that disaster, there must be only a few of Xiao Yu's old friends left.

It’s better not to ask about Xiao Yu casually in the future, so as not to bring him back to unfortunate memories.

Su Lingyue held Xiao Yu's hand, "Your Majesty, accompany me to look at other things! Do you have any recommendations?"

The two of them chose for a while and finally picked a horse with reddish-brown fur and a tuft of white hair on its forehead.

It also has a very good personality. Whenever Su Lingyue feeds it or tickles it, it will grin and lick Su Lingyue to show affection.

"Does the horse have a name?"

Xiao Yu stroked the horse's head gently, his expression indifferent, "It was given to me by someone else last year, and I haven't picked it yet. Since Yue'er likes it, let's give it a name!"

"Yeah." Su Lingyue gently stroked the horse's forehead and said after a moment: "The white hair on its head looks like lightning, so let's call it Lightning!"

"How about this name?" Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu, only to see that Xiao Yu was looking at her in shock.

Su Lingyue was confused, "My Lord, is there anything wrong with this name?"

After a moment of shock, Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "That white horse is called Lightning. Yue'er has to think of another one."

Just now Su Lingyue asked Xiao Yu what the white horse was called, but Xiao Yu did not answer. It turned out that its name was Lightning.

However, Su Lingyue could imagine it running on the ground as fast as lightning.

The name "Lightning" really fits it.

Su Lingyue touched the horse's head and thought for a while, "In ancient times, there was a red rabbit. Although it is also red, it has a tuft of white hair, so it should be called a white rabbit."

"My Lord, how about this name?"

Xiao Yu chuckled, "Although it's just a little white, the name White Rabbit is also very special and suitable for Yue'er."

Hearing this, Su Lingyue happily touched the horse's forehead and said, "From now on, you will be called White Rabbit. Are you happy?"

The white rabbit seemed to be very human-like. After Su Lingyue finished talking to it, it grinned and licked Su Lingyue's hand to show its satisfaction.

After Xiao Yu picked out a suitable saddle and stirrups for Su Lingyue, he led the white rabbit to the yard and began to teach Su Lingyue how to ride a horse.

Xiao Yu carried Su Lingyue onto the horse's back and taught her how to pull the reins, how to walk, and how to stop.

Su Lingyue practiced carefully on horseback, with Xiao Yu supporting her beside her.

Li Jing looked at the two people talking and laughing in the yard and felt that they were an eyesore, so she jumped and flew out of the palace.

She went to the stall of the old man selling chestnuts and took ten cents' worth of sugar-roasted chestnuts.

"Girl, you come here so rarely, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you enough in my lifetime!"

The old man straightened his hunched body, trying to see what Li Jingzhang looked like.

If I die, my children and grandchildren will come to set up a stall and they will have to recognize the talents.

Li Jing chuckled, "You are a good person, you will live a long life!"

Li Jing was peeling chestnuts as she walked, and if a child bumped into her occasionally, she would give a few to them.

Before she knew it, Li Jing had returned to her old home.

Li Jing was about to go back, but then she remembered that she hadn't asked the man's name from last time.

He was helpful to Li Jing, and it would be wrong not to know the name of his benefactor.

She walked to the gate and knocked gently on the gate of the yard.

"Who?"

It was still a man's voice.

"It's me. I was here last time."

After a while, the man opened the door.

Today, he was wearing a grey uniform, and his stern face looked much gentler.

The man chuckled, "Why, are you coming here to cry again today?"
