Chapter 976: Chapter 977: Fought for Pride Chapter 976: Chapter 977: Fought for Pride An Jing imdiately shook her head and said, “No.”
Xiao Changyi then extended a hand toward An Jing.
An Jing smiled as she placed her hand on Xiao Changyi’s, and he helped her down from the horse.
Watching the interaction between An Jing and Xiao Changyi, Dongfang Tianyang felt a subtle discomfort in his heart, but he did not show it and smiled at An Jing instead, “The Princess, a woman, has such courage and bravery to have tad the horse. Tianyang admires, truly admires this.”
One does not strike a smiling face, moreover, this was a prince from another nation. Even if one did not respect the prince personally, they must give face to Dongqing Kingdom to avoid causing displeasure and sowing seeds of conflict between the two nations.
Thus, An Jing replied with a smile, “Seventh Prince, you flatter . Previously, my lord taught the art of horse taming. If not for that, I would have been thrown off the horse long ago, and how could I have tad such a wild horse?”
As Prince Yi, Xiao Changyi held high prestige in Xiyun, and other nations regarded him with much wariness. If Xiao Changyi managed to achieve sothing, others wouldn’t find it surprising; so even saw it as natural.
Now, since An Jing ntioned that Xiao Changyi taught her horse taming, Dongfang Tianyang felt much more comfortable and not as embarrassed.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Dongfang Tianyang and Su Chengyu finally left.
Once Su Chengyu and the others had left, An Jing hurried to the Emperor of Xiyun and cheekily said, “Your Majesty, in honor of taming this horse and earning so respect, please give this horse to .”
The Emperor of Xiyun imdiately laughed, saying, “Oh, you Jingjing, so this was your plan all along!”
“The horse would just sit in the stable, unused. Just give it to .” An Jing still wore a playful smile, and seeing her husband approaching, she even hugged his arm.
Seeing An Jing hugging Xiao Changyi’s arm and continuing to be playful, showing little ladylike deanor, the Emperor of Xiyun didn’t get angry at all, but laughed instead, “You have never asked for anything before. Since this is the first ti you’ve asked for sothing, naturally, I will grant it.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!” An Jing imdiately expressed her thanks joyfully.
“However,” the Emperor of Xiyun continued, “since Dongfang Tianyang is still in Xiyun, it wouldn’t be proper for to give the horse to you now. Wait for him to leave, and once he’s gone, you can take the horse ho.”
An Jing also understood that it was rude to give away a gift from soone else right after receiving it, so she readily nodded her head, “Yes, I’ll take the horse ho once he leaves.”
“Alright, watching you ta the horse for so long has tired . Let’s return.”
With that, the Emperor of Xiyun headed back to the Jun Palace.
Unwilling to just let soone else take the horse she had just tad back to the stable, An Jing led it herself.
She held the horse with one hand and Xiao Changyi with the other, still laughing and saying, “My Lord, what do you think we should na the horse?”
Xiao Changyi said, “Whatever you like.”
An Jing said, “I think we should give it a na similar to ‘Zhuri.’ When one hears the na, they’ll know it’s our horse. Zhuri… Zhuri… Zhu? Ri?”
An idea suddenly flashed through her mind. An Jing eagerly exclaid, “I’ve got it! I know what we should call our horse.”
At An Jing’s use of ‘our,’ Xiao Changyi’s lips curved slightly, and he asked, “What shall we call it?”
