The horses were led by the eunuchs, standing bored on the pasture.
Judging from the appearance and spirit of the horses, these horses were much better than the ones she had seen in the horse market in town.
Compared with the two horses Qin Canglan brought last time, they seemed to be a little lacking.
It is enough to teach the daughters of the imperial family how to ride and shoot.
Su Xiaoxiao turned around casually and stopped in front of a pitch-black horse.
"This horse doesn't have enough carrying capacity. You are more suitable for the horse next to it."
Su Xiaoxiao turned around.
The one who spoke was Leng Zhiruo, the daughter of the Leng family.
Mr. Jiang once called on her to answer a question in class, and Su Xiaoxiao remembered her.
Su Xiaoxiao said "oh", followed her advice, and came to the horse next to her.
This horse is definitely stronger.
Leng Zhiruo had already chosen a horse and jumped on it swiftly.
“I don’t have enough explosive power, but a novice doesn’t need it.”
After she finished speaking, she took the whip from the palace maid and shouted "Go!". The horse galloped away and started a test run on the pasture.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her heroic back and suddenly remembered that the Leng family was also a powerful family with military power, and Leng Zhiruo was the daughter of a general.
Leng Zhiruo ran on her own and did not participate in the competition between Princess Hui'an and Princess Lingxi.
The rest of the daughters also came to choose horses.
Qin Yanran picked a horse for herself.
Normally, the palace maids were supposed to adjust the saddles for the daughters.
Leng Zhiruo didn't need anyone to adjust her temperature, but no one came to adjust Su Xiaoxiao's temperature for her.
Su Xiaoxiao recalled Leng Zhiruo's movements in adjusting the saddle and followed her instructions.
Qin Yanran rode over on her horse, looked down at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Your horse can't run fast."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her in confusion.
Miss Lin said to Qin Yanran with a smile on her face: "Miss Qin, please help me choose a horse! I don't know which horse is better?"
Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao ignored her, Qin Yanran felt bored and went to help Miss Lin and others choose horses.
When the selection was halfway through, something went wrong in the competition between Princess Lingxi and Princess Hui'an.
Princess Lingxi's horse accidentally bumped into Princess Hui'an's horse. Princess Hui'an's horse was frightened and started galloping wildly on the pasture.
Princess Hui'an was unable to stop the horse and screamed in fear on horseback.
Princess Lingxi also panicked when she saw this, and tried to save Princess Hui'an. However, the more she chased, the more frightened Princess Hui'an's horse became.
After a while, the horse rushed towards the ladies.
Princess Hui'an was furious: "Ah - get out of the way -"
Qin Yanran spurred her horse to dodge.
She did dodge it, but the girls behind her who were not good at riding suffered.
A horse was startled and stood up with its front hooves raised.
"Ah——" Qianjin on horseback screamed in horror.
Su Xiaoxiao quickly reached out and grabbed her off the horse.
However, her own horse was also frightened, and as soon as she put the man down, her horse ran forward like crazy.
She clamped her legs around the horse's belly and held the reins tightly with both hands to prevent herself from falling off the horse's back.
The scene was in chaos. Except for Leng Zhiruo and Qin Yanran, everyone else's horses were frightened to varying degrees.
Leng Zhiruo rode her horse and chased after him: "Princess Lingxi! Stop your horse from running away!"
Princess Lingxi cried, "I...I can't stop..."
The daughters who had not yet ridden horses stayed far away, staring at the out-of-control horse farm with fear in their eyes.
Miss Wang covered her face and exclaimed, "Oh no! We're going to collide!"
Princess Hui'an and Su Xiaoxiao's horses ran head-on into each other—
"Get out of the way of this princess!"
I can't get out of the way.
Su Xiaoxiao's brows turned cold, and she secretly calculated the angle and distance between herself and Princess Hui'an.
She could only abandon her horse to save her life. She estimated that she would break a few bones. She didn't know if this precious princess could withstand the fall.
Five steps, four steps, three steps...
He sat behind Su Xiaoxiao, grabbed the reins that Su Xiaoxiao was holding tightly, shouted, and suddenly turned the frightened horse around! Princess Hui'an closed her eyes in fear and passed by Su Xiaoxiao's horse!
The danger did not end there. In front of Princess Hui'an was a fence about one person high.
Princess Hui'an opened her eyes and said, "Ahhhhhhhh——"
Hongluan and Bai Ze exchanged glances. Hongluan flew over and knocked Princess Hui'an off the horse. Bai Ze quickly hugged the horse's neck and was dragged forward for several feet. He flipped over and sat on the horse's back.
If it were an ordinary horse, it would be better to kill it.
But this is the imperial horse.
You can't kill it, you can only find a way to stop it.
On the other side, Su Xiaoxiao's horse was gradually controlled by Jing Yi.
The boy had grown taller, and his arms had the strength of an adult man. He held Su Xiaoxiao tightly in his arms, steady and calm.
"Jing Yi." Su Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at him.
The two were quite close.
Jing Yi's ears turned slightly red, and he said calmly: "It's okay, don't be afraid."
"Oh, I'm not afraid." Su Xiaoxiao said, "It's your hand..."
Jing Yi had used too much force just now, his palms were rubbed raw, and blood was oozing out on the reins.
"You are injured." Su Xiaoxiao said.
Jing Yi did not pay attention to his injuries immediately, but looked at her dress first.
Seeing that her clothes were not soiled, his expression eased a little.
"I'm fine," he said.
He dismounted from his horse and reached out to help Su Xiaoxiao.
Thinking of something, he took out a handkerchief and covered the blood on his palm.
Careful, with the youthfulness and piety that are unique to teenagers.
Su Xiaoxiao was afraid of hurting him, so she just gently supported his wrist.
Everyone looked at this scene in disbelief.
I thought that the situation was so dangerous just now that this girl would not be able to escape, and would be crippled if not dead. Who would have thought that Young Marquis Jing would show up in time.
Miss Lin said in a nymphomaniacal way: "The way Young Marquis Jing saved people... was so handsome!"
Young Marquis Jing just turned seventeen this year, not yet of adult age. In the past, they only thought that Young Marquis Jing was still a child, but just now, he was filled with the spirit and charm of an adult man.
Everyone was shocked.
It turns out that a teenager can also give people a great sense of security.
No one thought that Jing Yi had any relationship with Su Xiaoxiao. How could a girl who lived among the people be qualified to make Master Jing bow down to her? Master Jing was brave and righteous. If it was someone else, Master Jing would also rescue her without hesitation.
Only Qin Yanran at the scene knew that Jing Yi and Su Xiaoxiao knew each other.
When they were in Qingzhou, Jing Yi helped Su Ergou.
Today, he ignored Princess Hui'an, who was closer to him, and turned around to save Su Xiaoxiao.
Look at how Princess Hui'an was hit, her forehead was bruised.
Hongluan helped Princess Hui'an up: "Princess."
Princess Hui'an was so angry that she pushed her away and said, "Go away!"
She fell badly and not only did she have a headache, but her feet also hurt!
She limped to Jing Yi, pointed at Su Xiaoxiao, and complained, "Why did you save her and not me?"
Jing Yi said: "Hong Luan went to save you."
Princess Hui'an was furious and said, "I don't want a servant to save me! Look at what she did to me!"
Jing Yi paused and said, "Your horse is too fast. If I go to save you, I will throw you down anyway."
Princess Hui'an: "..."
At this time, Xiao Chonghua came over.
Jing Yi entered the palace with him. It was because of the emergency that Jing Yi used his lightness skills to come over first.
When Princess Hui'an saw him, the grievances in her heart bubbled up and tears rolled down her cheeks: "Wuwu... Third Brother..."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Chonghua strangely: "Third...brother? Aren't you Mr. Xiang?"
The eunuch at the side shouted: "How dare you! This is the Third Prince!"
