The tutor: "..." Money is hard to earn, and princes are hard to please.
Qi Qi stood aside with his pageboys and watched as the Ninth Prince, dressed in neat clothes, started jogging with a group of little kids. The teacher ran very slowly, and the children followed in a crooked line, making for a very cute scene.
This class was a physical education class for the masters. The servants didn't need to run around. They just stood by with towels and water, and the masters would call for them if they needed anything. The teachers, on the other hand, were quite busy, afraid that these nobles might accidentally bump into something.
Running wasn't very interesting, and Qi Qi's attention was scattered. The Ninth Prince and the others who were a bit older started practicing boxing after warming up. Their moves were quite impressive. It was indeed the red-clad boy who had ridden horses and practiced archery that day. As soon as he arrived at the training ground, he radiated a dazzling light.
Noticing someone watching, he looked over, raised an eyebrow at Qi Qi, and appeared quite pleased with himself.
The Fifth Prince was also fighting nearby, and at this moment, his face was finally fully revealed in the sunlight.
Good heavens, Qi Qi's eyes were practically glued to him. Sure enough, he had the blood of a nomadic people from beyond the realm. He was tall and had very fair skin. Although he also had black hair and black eyes, his eyebrows and eyes were deep-set, with the typical feature of eyebrows pressing down on the eyes. He had a fierce look, a handsome face that was almost sinister, and an introverted temperament. When he looked at people, his eyes would dart away, as if he didn't dare to look people in the eye directly.
She's already this good even before she's fully grown; she'll surely captivate countless girls in the future.
They could easily rank in the top three in the training ground. This isn't just Qi Qi talking nonsense; it's mainly because the Emperor of Great Xia isn't very good-looking. Most of the princes look rather ordinary. The few princes who are good-looking must have inherited it from their mothers.
Qi Qi was standing idly by, making a bold analysis.
The Ninth Prince is a sickly immortal descended to earth, the Seventh Prince is a dashing young man, and the Fifth Prince is an evil and domineering CEO.
No, it's not good to talk behind people's backs like this. Qi Qi hasn't found the Fifth Prince's persona in Qi Laibao's memories yet; he should be a marginal figure.
His gaze swept around again, and then a few people led a row of horses behind him. Wow, this time it was a "messenger of justice," with the standard sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, handsome features, an aura of righteousness, and a deep gaze.
He's clearly not an ordinary person.
Wearing a short, bluish-gray outfit, and inspecting the saddles of several ponies beside him, Qi Qi felt that this description was somewhat similar to that legendary... male protagonist.
Amu said, "Gu Siyan was the eldest grandson of the former General Zhenguo. The General Zhenguo rebelled and his entire family was beheaded. Gu Siyan was pardoned because his deceased grandmother, the former princess, pleaded for him and he became a stable boy in the palace."
Qi Qi: "...Brother Amu, how do you know everything?"
It really does look like a plot NPC.
Amu: "These are all common knowledge in the palace. I'm afraid you've only been in the palace for a short time and don't know what taboos you might have broken. If there's anything you don't know, you can ask me."
Qi Qi said sweetly, "I know, Brother Amu is such a nice person, I like you so much."
A slight blush appeared on Amu's dark, square face. He nodded steadily and continued to stare at Young Master Wen.
Qi Qi secretly glanced at the male protagonist not far away. Strangely, he was only twelve years old, but he seemed so strong.
Qi Qi silently looked at his thin arms and legs, pondering how he could snatch the jade pendant back in a few years without making the man so angry that he would kill him on the spot...
It's only five or six meters away. Why don't we go over and see if we can chat for a bit?
"Brother Amu, there are so many horses!" Qi Qi looked at the pageboys who were leading the horses and asked tentatively, "Are the princes riding together, or does each of them have their own?"
Amu said, "Most of the horses in the palace are for the use of nobles, and a few are for their own exclusive use. That white horse is our Ninth Prince's Snow-Treading Horse, that chestnut horse is the Seventh Prince's Red Hare, and that black horse is the Prince of Qingyang's..."
The horses that Amu mentioned are all easy to recognize, and they are the best-bred; they are obviously fine horses.
Qi Qi asked, "Which horse does the Fifth Prince ride?"
Amu shook his head: "The Fifth Prince does not have a separate horse."
“Oh,” Qi Qi thought back and realized that the Fifth Prince was the poorest. He had no accessories and wore a worn-out silver crown to tie his hair. The others all wore jade crowns, which were exquisitely made and inlaid.
"Brother Amu, is the next class archery? Can I go see His Highness's horse?"
Amu: "Go ahead. The pageboys also need to get to know their masters' horses. Ta Xue is docile, so it's good for you to familiarize yourself with them beforehand. Find the horse groom to introduce Ta Xue's habits to you, and also teach you how to check the saddle and such."
He carefully instructed, "You can follow them and lead the horses around the edge of the training ground a couple of times. You're a beginner, so go slowly. I'll watch over you from here."
I didn't expect the pageboy to offer this service. Now I have an excuse not to strike up a conversation! Qi Qi chuckled: "Yeah!"
Let's give him a try! Let's see if the male lead is easy to get along with. If he has a good personality, then... hopefully he won't kill someone immediately after stealing the jade pendant.
Amu helped Qi Qi tighten his trouser legs a bit more. The pageboy didn't wear clothes with wide sleeves, mainly for the convenience of doing daily tasks.
Qi Qi got ready and strode confidently toward the male lead, but little did he know that the edge of the training ground was slightly uneven, and Qi Qi, not looking where he was going, tripped over a bump.
These wretched limbs that just appeared!
He instinctively took two steps forward, and just as he was about to fall, a strong hand grabbed Qi Qi by the back of his collar and pulled him up.
Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief. After the person in front of him helped him straighten up, he immediately took two steps back.
Qi Qi rode a horse a few weeks ago. The horse was well-cared for, plump and strong. It was often washed and cleaned, and the smell was alright. Now, the tip of his nose smells of horse, a little sour, a little smelly, and also the smell of hay.
