Xia Mengyao was wearing riding clothes, with her cuffs and trouser legs tightened. She had a leather belt around her waist with a horsewhip pinned on it. Her boots were very thick and squeaked as she stepped on the grass.
"Ji Yunhuan, let go. Chi Feng is mine. Why do you want to snatch everything from me? Even my favorite horse."
There were seven or eight horses following Mo Niang, all of which were Xia Mengyao's favorites.
The two young ladies are of similar age and stature, and can use similar horses. Normally, the young ladies are not so stingy, so why are they being so picky today?
Mo Niang couldn't help but persuade her, "The Marquis ordered that the guests be allowed to choose first. These are all horses that the young lady likes. Qingfeng has good endurance and is suitable for playing polo. Why don't you use Qingfeng?"
When Qingfeng heard his name, he blinked his big eyes and consciously moved closer to Xia Mengyao, rubbing his head against his master's hand docilely.
Xia Mengyao slapped Qingfeng and pushed him away, "Get out! I want Chifeng!"
Qingfeng didn't understand what he had done wrong. He was spinning around in confusion, trying to please his master.
Mo Niang's face darkened. She pulled Qingfeng to her side and stroked him gently, then fed Qingfeng a piece of brown sugar. Only then did Qingfeng calm down, lowering his head and slowly eating grass.
"Since the young lady insists, let Chifeng choose for himself."
Mo Niang blew a whistle, and Chi Feng returned to Mo Niang. Mo Niang touched Chi Feng's mane lovingly. I don't know how they communicated, but Chi Feng seemed to understand what Mo Niang meant.
Xia Mengyao was determined to win. She just couldn't stand Ji Yunhuan. She wanted to snatch the horse that Ji Yunhuan liked!
"Chifeng is my horse, he must obey me, Chifeng come here!"
Chi Feng looked at Xia Mengyao, snorted at her, spitted in her face, and then ran towards Ji Yunhuan without looking back!
Ji Yunhuan was very surprised. She really preferred red, and this horse's bright color matched her clothes very well.
"Chifeng, what a good horse. I like him."
Xia Mengyao was furious. She whipped out her horsewhip and rushed over, "You traitor! I am your master!"
Mo Niang blocked the whip.
She was tall, with long arms and legs. Her hands were covered with calluses from years of horse training. She didn't even frown when the whip hit her hands.
"Miss, I've said before that horses also have spirits. You hurt Chi Feng's heart today, so of course Chi Feng doesn't want to let you ride him."
Xia Mengyao knew that Mo Niang was angry. She finally remembered the injured pony and looked a little embarrassed.
"Humph! If you don't want to ride it, then don't ride it. It's just a horse. I don't care about it!"
"Ji Yunhuan, you are so foolish that you actually want to fight His Highness. Not to mention that you will definitely lose, even if you win, what difference will it make? Which man would like someone as competitive as you? Do you think that His Highness will look at you differently if you try to find a new way? People like you will only annoy His Highness."
"I'm different. I begged His Highness to let me play on his team. He said he would protect me. All I have to do is follow His Highness and pass the ball to him. As long as I can see His Highness's heroic figure, I'll be satisfied..."
Mo Niang wanted to say something but stopped herself. Today's young lady made her feel so strange. The young lady shouldn't be like this. The young lady loved playing polo the most, so why did she become the prince's foil?
Ji Yunhuan couldn't bear to listen any longer. She had already mounted Chifeng and swung the polo bat in her hand, scaring Xia Mengyao so much that she stepped back repeatedly.
"Do you know what you look like now? Like a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy! Even dogs know to follow those who give them meat and bones, what about you? What can you gain by following the prince? Use your stupid head and think carefully. Do you really like him? What do you like about him?"
