"drive--"
"drive--"
"Da da da—"
"Ouch, what's that sound?"
Upon hearing the word "驾", everyone turned to look behind them.
A man laughed upon hearing the sound, "What else could it be?"
"It's obvious without even guessing that they're one of the Eight Talented Men from the Capital."
A woman nearby, with a vegetable basket slung over her arm, asked in confusion, "What 'Eight Talents of the Capital'? I've never heard of them!"
"It seems you haven't been to the capital for quite some time."
"So what if it is?"
The woman picked out two more good vegetables and looked up at the person who had spoken.
"The 'Eight Talents of the Capital' refers to eight people."
As the man spoke, he noticed that many men and women around him were looking at him.
"None of you know?"
"I only know about the Eight Talented Men of the Capital, but I don't know who they are."
One of the men spoke, and then the first man began to speak.
These eight children are,
The fourth princess, a dancer of unparalleled beauty; the fifth prince, a healer of skeletal remains; Bai Tangzhi, a master of Go; Bai Tangyan, a painter of divine skill; Princess Zhaoyuan, whose voice moves all; Wei Yuanxuan, a master of both music and calligraphy; Fang Zixu, a playboy; and the Qin prince, who amuses cats and dogs.
"These...these two people...how...how..."
"Don't even mention it. Those two are the kind of people who do everything from chasing cats and dogs to fighting. They're little tyrants and little devils in this capital city."
"drive--"
With a shout of "Giddy up!", pedestrians in the road quickly moved to the side.
"Xi'er, shall we have a race to see who gets to the big willow tree outside the city first?"
"Okay, but don't cry if Fang Zixu cries, okay?"
The girl in pink on horseback smiled, raised her eyebrows, and glanced at Fang Zixu beside her, saying...
After saying that, Qin Ruoxi pushed off with her legs, and the horse galloped away.
At the same time, Qin Ruoxi shouted loudly, "Pretty lady, handsome guys, please make way, thank you!"
The man and woman who were initially in the middle of the road were not very willing. But when they heard Qin Ruoxi calling out in her sweet voice, "Pretty sister, handsome brother," they were all overjoyed.
Both were happy to have been praised and moved to either side.
This resulted in a situation where there was no one in the road in front of Qin Ruoxi's horse, and people on both sides were watching Qin Ruoxi with smiles on their faces.
After Qin Ruoxi rode away, the pedestrians returned to the middle of the road. Fang Zixu, who wanted to follow Qin Ruoxi, was blocked by the pedestrians in front and had to stop.
After Fang Zixu stopped, the horses behind him also stopped one after another.
Dressed in black, Qin Ze stopped his horse next to Fang Zixu's. He glanced at Qin Ruoxi, who had already galloped ahead, and patted Fang Zixu on the shoulder.
He let out a heavy sigh. "Sigh, Fang Zixu, you're going to lose—and you're definitely going to lose."
Fang Zixu shrugged, shaking Qin Ze's hand off, then turned his horse around and rode off along another path.
"Brother, what are you standing there for? Aren't you going to leave?"
After saying that, Qin Yuan turned her horse around and followed Bai Tangyan.
"White Sugar Cigarette, wait for me!"
"If you're so capable, then catch up with me."
After saying that, Bai Tangyan squeezed the horse's belly with both legs and rode off, with Qin Yuan following suit.
Wei Yuanxuan glanced helplessly at Bai Tangyan riding a horse at breakneck speed ahead, smiled wryly, and followed after her.

"Is that the capital city ahead?"
A man dressed in black stood under a large willow tree, gazing at the lake before him, speaking with an expression that betrayed no emotion.
"Yes, young master."
Yu Feng filled the water bag and hung it on the horse. Not hearing Jun Qingzhi's words, he walked over to Yu He and whispered...
"Young master, you should have forgotten about that girl, shouldn't you? After all, our master hasn't mentioned her name for six years."
Yu He listened to Yu Feng's words, glanced at Jun Qingzhi standing by the lake, but his thoughts were quite different.
However, Yu He didn't show it. He packed his things and gave Yu Feng a nonchalant reply.
Maybe.
"Hey, Yu, is that even possible? Explain yourself clearly—"
Yu He ignored Yu Feng and went about his own business.
"Da da da—"
"Yu He, someone's here."
Upon hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Yu Feng became alert and walked over to Yu He, saying...
No sooner had she finished speaking than Qin Ruoxi appeared on horseback in front of them.
Qin Ruoxi walked to the big willow tree and pulled on the reins, "Whoa—"
The horse stopped when it heard this, and Qin Ruoxi dismounted after it came to a halt.
Then he tied the horse to the big willow tree, and Yu Feng stared intently at Qin Ruoxi before turning to look at Yu He.
"Why does she look so familiar?"
Upon hearing Yu Feng's words, Yu He looked up at Qin Ruoxi, froze, then lowered his head without answering Yu Feng.
How could you not recognize him? You were just talking about him!
Immediately afterwards, Yu Feng heard the sound of horses' hooves. "Yu He, listen..."
Before Yu Feng could finish speaking, someone rode over on horseback.
"Sister, elder sister, I'm here too!"
Qin Jingke stopped the horse next to Qin Ruoxi, jumped off, and stood in front of her as she tied the horse's rope.
She flashed a bright white smile, "Sister, I got here before them all!"
"Ke Ke, you're amazing!"
Qin Ruoxi smiled as she watched Qin Jingke, who was already almost a head taller than her, still asking for praise. She reached out and pinched Qin Jingke's cheek.
After pinching Qin Jingke's cheeks, Qin Ruoxi wanted to rub his head, but when she reached out, she realized she couldn't touch it at all.
Just as he was about to put it down, Qin Jingke lowered his head and leaned close to Qin Jingke's face.
"Sister, feel it. Isn't my little brother sweetheart?"
Qin Ruoxi ruffled Qin Jingke's hair, then the two of them pinched the flesh on Qin Jingke's face.
"Yes, yes, Ke Ke is the most considerate."
Jun Qingzhi, who was standing with her back to Qin Ruoxi and Qin Jingke, thought of Qin Ruoxi when she was three years old, when a tail always followed her.
But Jun Qingzhi wasn't thinking that much at the moment.
Not long after Qin Jingke arrived, the remaining five people also arrived.
Fang Zixu dismounted and came to stand before Qin Ruoxi.
You win.
"Of course I woke up. Don't forget to treat me to dinner tonight!"
"Definitely please."
Fang Zixu's ears turned slightly red when he saw the smiling girl in front of him.
"Brother, you're the last one to arrive!!!"
"Do you realize you're ruining my image by doing this?!"
Qin Yuan, seeing Qin Ze arrive so late, walked straight up to him, put her hands on her hips, and loudly spoke to him.
Qin Ze, on the other hand, seemed indifferent, picking at his ear and looking at Fang Zixu with a pleading expression.
"Okay, okay, I know."
"You're a girl, don't be so irritable."
