Upon seeing Wen Nongnong, the black horse pawed at the ground with its front hooves, as if greeting her.
Wen Nongnong was taken aback at first, then her face lit up with surprise. She stepped forward, took the reins from the servant, stroked the black horse's mane, and said happily, "You still remember me?"
Whether in response or not, the dark horse snorted.
This made Wen Nongnong even happier; it seemed this black horse had a special talent.
She came to the stable today, firstly to check on the stable's condition, and secondly, because she wanted to learn how to ride a horse.
Seeing how friendly it was to her, she was even more encouraged to learn how to ride a horse.
Wen Nong Nong turned to the servants and instructed them, "Help me put on the saddle; I want to learn to ride a horse."
Upon hearing this, the servants immediately became worried, "If the princess wants to ride a horse, she needs to find a specialist to instruct her..."
"Aren't you the expert? You can just guide me from the side," Wen Nongnong said.
The servant was flattered and overwhelmed, "But I am of lowly status and unworthy to..."
Wen Nongnong said seriously, "You are in charge of feeding the horses on a daily basis, and you are even in charge of the prince's mount. It can be seen that you are very familiar with the habits of horses. I believe you have the ability to do so."
Besides, I've actually ridden horses before, but I'm not very good at it. You can just give me some pointers in a bit.
Seeing that she showed no sign of disrespect, the servant was greatly encouraged and did not refuse again. Instead, he respectfully said, "Please wait a moment, Your Highness, while I put the saddle on the horse."
“Okay.” Wen Nongnong nodded.
The servants quickly fetched a saddle and harnessed the black horse.
When it came time to actually get on the horse, Wen Nongnong was actually a little timid.
She just boasted to the servants; she actually had no formal training in horseback riding.
Back in modern times, she had enrolled in horseback riding lessons, but she hadn't had a chance to learn before coming here.
In ancient times, horses were one of the most important means of transportation, so she had to learn to ride a horse as soon as possible.
Once she learns to ride a horse, it will be easier for her to go anywhere.
With that in mind, she was eager to try it out.
However, before mounting the horse, she couldn't help but stroke the black horse's mane, lean closer, and whisper, "Little Blackie, you have to be gentle with me later, or you'll throw me off."
Whether the black horse understood or not, it pawed at the ground with its front hooves, as if urging her to mount the horse as soon as possible.
Wen Nongnong gritted her teeth, grabbed the saddle, and mounted the horse.
...
After finishing his official duties, Gu Linchao went to the military camp and didn't return until dark.
As soon as he stepped into the mansion, a servant rushed over in a hurry.
"Your Highness, the Princess Consort has fallen from her horse and is injured..."
"What?" Gu Linchao's expression changed. "How could she have fallen from her horse for no reason?" As he spoke, he continued walking quickly toward Chenxiang Courtyard without stopping.
"In the afternoon, the princess went to the stables, saying she wanted to ride a horse, but somehow she fell off," the servant replied.
Gu Linchao's heart tightened, and he asked in a deep voice, "Has anyone been sent to fetch the imperial physician?"
"Yes, Imperial Physician Lin is currently bandaging the Princess at Chenxiang Courtyard," the servant replied immediately.
Gu Linchao frowned, unable to imagine how much pain the delicate Wen Nongnong must be in right now.
When he arrived at Chenxiang Courtyard, Imperial Physician Lin had already bandaged Wen Nongnong.
Wen Nongnong sat on the bed, hugging her right ankle, which was swollen like a steamed bun, and felt like crying.
She was learning to ride a horse very smoothly, and the black horse was very docile. After running a few laps, she thought she had learned to ride a horse. So, on a whim, she went to ride Gu Linchao's red-brown horse.
As a result, they were left behind.
