An Yuan'er broke free from Yi Chenqi's hand and interrupted him: "Fifth Prince, be careful with your words. Three years is a long time, and we don't know what might happen. There are some things that shouldn't be said and don't need to be said."
Yi Chenqi looked at his empty hands and disappointedly put them behind his back.
"Three years is not a long time. As long as I am determined to do something, I will never change my mind."
Yi Chenqi looked deeply into An Yuan'er's eyes and said affectionately, "Little Yuan'er, it's not just three years, it's been much longer. My feelings have never changed."
An Yuan'er lowered her eyes and did not respond to him.
"The Fifth Prince has a bright future ahead of him, and Her Majesty the Empress will surely choose a suitable match for him. Yuan'er only wishes to be a free bird in the forest, and does not wish to be bound by these constraints. Fifth Prince, you should not continue..."
Yi Chenqi didn't let An Yuan'er continue.
"Whether it's a good match or not, I know it in my heart."
"Don't worry, I will protect you. Today, I won't let Yi Chenxuan do anything reckless to you."
Just as Yi Chenqi was about to leave, An Yuan'er grabbed his sleeve.
"etc!"
A hint of joy flashed in Yi Chenqi's eyes: "Xiao Yuan'er, have you changed your mind?"
An Yuan'er couldn't bear it in the end. Such a sincere and enthusiastic boy would never be able to practice martial arts again after this competition.
In his previous life, he was injured by a sword during a competition, which damaged his foundation.
An Yuan'er whispered in Yi Chenqi's ear, "When you're shooting arrows later, be careful to the left; there might be danger."
Yi Chenqi was stunned: "Xiao Yuan'er, what's this?"
An Yuan'er could only say, "I went to Donghua Mountain to pray for blessings yesterday, and Master Fang revealed it to me."
Yi Chenqi smiled broadly, his whole being radiating joy. He said with a hint of pride, "Xiao Yuan'er, you really do care about me. I'll be careful."
He walked with light steps; An Yuan'er had only shown him a little bit of friendly concern, and he was already this happy.
An Yuan'er looked at his retreating figure with a heavy heart. What should she do with this peach blossom?

By the time An Yuan'er arrived with the horse, the other four were already ready.
An Yuan'er changed into a light riding outfit, which made her look both heroic and cute. As the only girl in the competition, all eyes were immediately drawn to her.
An Yuan'er took a deep breath, memorized the movements, and swiftly mounted her horse.
Little White Horse cooperated perfectly by raising its hooves and tilting its head high, showing that the two were working together very well.
A cheer erupted from the audience.
Pretty girls are always popular, no matter where they go. What's more, people are used to seeing dignified and proper ladies from noble families in Shengjing, so An Yuan'er's unique charm and stunning beauty made several boys stare.
Men began to genuinely cheer for An Yuan'er.
“Miss An is truly kind and righteous. Although she is a prince’s companion, she was able to bravely stand up. Regardless of how the horse riding went, her courage and righteousness alone deserve applause.”
"A woman should be like the Fourth Miss, whose heroic spirit is no less than that of a man."
"Go, Miss An!"
An Piao'er looked extremely upset as she watched An Yuan'er steal the spotlight.
She cursed inwardly: "That little bitch An Yuan'er, I hope she falls off her horse and dies. That would be truly satisfying."
Before setting off, An Yuan'er secretly glanced at Yi Chenli one last time.
Their gazes met in the air. Yi Chenli's eyes were terrifying, as if he wanted to devour An Yuan'er whole, leaving not even bones behind.
