New book is open: "Qing Dynasty Transmigration: Fourth Master's Beloved Consort", welcoming new and old friends to follow.
Before transmigration, Lin Mengyao was a leftover woman ...
Lanqin hesitated a bit; horses were not so easy to control.
"Never mind, Sister Li, I'm really not good at riding horses. Why don't you guys ride them yourselves? I'll cheer you on from here!" Lanqin said.
When Lady Nian heard that Lanqin refused to go, she sneered, "How come Consort Niu can't even ride a horse? I've heard that Manchus are thrown onto horses at birth! I didn't know that Consort Niu was a different kind of Manchu."
Ms. Nian was not a Manchu, but a member of the Han Banner Army. She spoke Manchu because Manchu surnames were already considered a higher social class than Han surnames during the Qing Dynasty.
Lanqin knew that Nian was trying to provoke her, but Lanqin really didn't want to argue with her at this moment.
“Sister Niu, it’s not about winning or losing, we’re just having some fun riding horses freely,” said Madam Li. She then winked at Madam Tian. Back when the Crown Prince was still on good terms with the other princes, and before the Third Prince had established his own residence, Madam Tian, having served the Third Prince even before his wife, naturally had a close relationship with Madam Li. Therefore, upon receiving Madam Li’s signal, Madam Tian immediately replied, “Yes, it’s just riding horses together, why would we argue about anything?”
Consort Chu felt it was inappropriate for Lanqin not to go, so she chimed in, "Consort Niu, I'm not very good at riding either, so we'll keep each other company!"
Seeing that everyone had already gotten this far, Lanqin felt it would be pretentious for her not to go, so she had no choice but to compromise and say, "Alright, I'll keep Consort Chu company!"
Upon hearing this, Lady Nian's lips curled into a smile. Lady Li also quickly arranged for servants to select horses. In the past, the hunting grounds had already kept a large number of horses for hunting.
Several concubines waited in place, and the servants picked out the horses they had chosen!
Lanqin looked around and chose a relatively small horse.
The others each chose their favorite horse and mounted it with the help of servants.
After mounting her horse, Nian deliberately drove it to Lanqin's side.
“Sister Niu, how about I teach you to ride a horse? Actually, riding a horse is very simple!” After saying this, Nian Shi showed a strange smile on her face. Then, without waiting for Lan Qin’s reply, she raised her riding whip and hit Lan Qin’s horse’s rump.
The horse, in pain, immediately took off running.
Lanqin was furious inside; she hadn't expected the Nian family to be so blatant in their plot against her.
Consort Chu watched Lanqin's retreating figure with worry, and quickly spurred her horse to chase after her!
Li watched with a complicated expression as the two of them rushed out first.
"Let's go! Let's catch up!" said Consort Tian, then kicked the horse's belly and chased after them!
Several concubines rode their horses back and forth across the lawn.
Lanqin's horse gradually slowed down. She remembered the riding techniques that Fourth Master had told her before, and slowly pulled on the reins, gradually bringing the horse to a stop.
"Consort Niu, don't stop, how about another lash?" Lady Nian's voice rang out again, as if from a demon!
"If you hit my horse again, it's a deliberate act of sabotage! If the master finds out about your behavior, it won't be good for Consort Nian!" Lanqin said angrily.
“It’s normal for a horse to go crazy, who would know!” Suddenly, Madam Nian raised her whip again and lashed it hard at the smooth rump of Lanqin.
Unlike last time when she was startled and at a loss, this time Lanqin quickly pulled on the reins and leaned her whole body backward!
