After saying this, I suddenly realized that maybe she also regarded Princess Duan Sheng, a brilliant hunter, as a rival in love? But Duan Sheng and Song Yu had already become a pair of bickering lovers. However, when I thought about the fact that such idle gossip was hard to verify, I suppressed the urge to advise her.
"Nothing..." She was indeed evasive: "I just suddenly thought women riding horses were very beautiful, and I wanted to learn from Sister Mu."
I naturally stopped asking questions and told her about some of my previous experiences riding horses in the hunting ground and the horse farm, such as overcoming fear and finding the rhythm of the horse's steps and hooves. However, these were all just talk and in the end, practice makes perfect.
She listened very carefully and started to practice. I followed her at the beginning, and later I sincerely admired her for her female physique. Her petite body was like an exploding universe!
I saw her riding until she was sweating profusely and her face was flushed, but she still didn't stop. I had already stood on the platform to rest, thinking about how unhappy this child was today.
Suddenly, the joy of the promotion and the paycheck faded, and instead, a sense of guilt set in. She finally pulled the reins and stopped, and I quickly stepped down from the platform, getting her some water and a silk handkerchief to wipe her sweat.
She looked at me with a smile on her face, like a bright red peach: "Sister Mu, if I practice like this every day, will I be able to ride a horse as well as Princess Shengyang soon?"
After all, Princess Shengyang grew up riding horses on the grasslands, so her horsemanship is excellent. She will also ride horses into battle and kill the enemy in the future.
I carefully considered my words, "I can't guarantee you'll be as good as Princess Shengyang, but if you truly practice like this every day, you'll be able to roam freely across the grasslands and deserts without a problem!"
She thought about it, then grinned: "Okay! Thank you, Sister Mu, I understand!"
I had sweated a lot during the day, so I took a shower. It was getting late, and it looked like Song Heng wouldn't come today. Just as I was about to study the atlas again, Eunuch Afu arrived in person, saying that His Majesty had ordered me to go to Chengqing Palace immediately and that I didn't need to bring any maids.
I froze. Chengqing Palace? Apart from the last time I took Chinese medicine, I had never been there. And it was so late, why did they ask me to go to Chengqing Palace?
The favor plot that I just avoided yesterday and the princess's dejected look today kept flashing in my mind. I took careful steps and followed Eunuch Afu to Chengqing Palace.
Xiao Cui and Xiao Tao were very happy, saying that His Majesty had never asked the concubines to go to Chengqing Palace, and I was so honored... I could only force out a smile that was uglier than crying to respond to them.
