Rong Yingluo was thrown off by the jolting.
She's definitely not that easy to coax.
Fortunately, the ground was soft, so I didn't fall and get seriously injured.
Once the horse calmed down, she took out some candy to coax it. This time it took her a little longer, but she successfully mounted the horse again.
Koma still went berserk, but not as violently as before.
Rong Yingluo gripped the handrail in front of the saddle tightly, letting it rage on.
Seeing that he couldn't shake off the person on his back, the horse started running forward like a madman.
Rong Yingluo lay prone on the horse's back, letting it run.
As long as she stays on the flat paddock and holds on tight, she'll be fine.
The four guards hiding in the concealed spot were also startled.
"Ling Feng, should we lend a hand to the young mistress?" Huo Hu's heart was in his throat.
"No need, you underestimate the young mistress. She was just pretending she couldn't ride a horse; she was probably playing dumb to fool everyone. Look at her movements, she's still pretending she can't ride. She's just instinctively lying on the horse's back. And look over there, all those young masters are looking this way. The young mistress is just putting on an act for them." Ling Feng has already inquired about quite a few things these past few days.
He had also found out about the quarrel between the young mistress and the crown prince, and he suspected that the crown prince's visit today was for the young mistress.
They cannot reveal themselves before the Crown Prince makes his move.
After the horse ran two laps, its speed slowed down.
Rong Yingluo can now sit up straight and control it.
The horse eventually stopped.
"My goodness, Mrs. Gu is so amazing! She had to coax the princess for a long time before she got on the horse. Mrs. Gu only gave her a few candies before she got on the horse, and she didn't get thrown off even when the horse went crazy." Yu Qiannian clapped her hands and cheered.
Yuwen Yi and Yuwen Tai, who were watching this side, both revealed malicious smiles.
"Cousin, do you want your horse back?" Yuwen Yi tempted.
"Of course I want to. That's a Ferghana horse that I went to great lengths to acquire. It's such a waste that it's in Princess Jinyang's hands." Yuwen Tai had never been so unsuccessful in his life, losing to a merchant's daughter in pitch-pot.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, he dared not go out for several days.
He's waiting for an opportunity to get revenge.
If Rong Shi hadn't married Gu Ce, he would have already taken action. Crushing Rong Shi would be as easy as crushing an ant.
After practicing for a while, Princess Jinyang began to gather the young ladies to sign up for the horse race, on a voluntary basis.
Just as the girls were considering whether or not to sign up, Yuwen Yi and Yuwen Tai walked over.
"Little princess, I heard you're using the racecourse's entrance token as a prize?" Yuwen Yi asked, raising an eyebrow.
Actually, he was a little jealous.
This racecourse was under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Household Department, which was the Emperor's private treasury.
He wanted several tokens but his father wouldn't give them to him, while his little sister could easily get them and even use them as prizes.
"That's right, with this prize, everyone is more enthusiastic." Princess Jinyang used to be reluctant to offer such a prize, but she wanted to find a companion who shared her love of horseback riding, so she did this.
She repeatedly invited noble ladies from the capital to go horseback riding, but there were very few young ladies who knew how to ride.
She organized horse races no less than ten times, but none of them satisfied her. If the difficulty was increased even slightly, the horses would all back down.
Today she saw Mrs. Gu learning to ride a horse, and she was the fastest she had ever seen a girl learn.
"Little princess, I'll also give you a little something extra: a token from the Bright Moon Pavilion in the capital. With this token, you can dine there for free for a year, and you can bring three friends each time." Yuwen Yi took out a token from his robes and waved it in front of the group of girls.
Gu Qingya deliberately moved closer to take a look and exclaimed in surprise, "It really is the token of Mingyue Tower!"
"Mingyuelou is the most popular restaurant in the capital. It's always packed. If you want to invite friends to a gathering at Mingyuelou, you have to book a private room half a month in advance," Fang Yuening exclaimed.
This is even more appealing than the racetrack entry pass; this pass is so practical.
"Crown Prince, are you really willing to part with this?" Princess Jinyang found it hard to believe that Yuwen Yi was so generous.
"I have a condition." Yuwen Yi put away the token, a mysterious smile on his face.
"What are the conditions?" Princess Jinyang rolled her eyes. She knew it; she had never seen him so generous before.
"I recommend someone to participate." Yuwen Yi pointed to a woman dressed as a guard behind him. "This is the daughter of one of my advisors, named Chen Ying. She is dressed as a man and has come out with me today. Also, I think Young Madam Gu rides quite well, so she also wants to sign up."
Rong Yingluo's brow twitched when she heard her name mentioned.
It seems the Crown Prince is going to make things difficult for her today. He's definitely after her.
"This..." Princess Jinyang didn't know what the Crown Prince was planning, so she didn't dare to agree casually.
"Sister-in-law, although this is your first time riding a horse, I think you ride better than any of us. You can even handle such a fierce Akhal-Teke horse. Since His Highness the Crown Prince values you so much, you can't refuse." Gu Qingya tried her best to persuade her.
"Yes, Madam Gu, we've all witnessed it. It wouldn't be right for you not to get involved," Princess Xiangyi advised, knowing that her brother, the Crown Prince, must have some ulterior motive.
She knew that her brother, the Crown Prince, and Lord Gu were at odds in court and were definitely looking for trouble with Rong Yingluo. She had to help him with this.
Her brother had worked so hard to get a BMW, but because Rong Yingluo acted as a substitute, he lost his precious possession. She also hated Rong Yingluo.
"Young Madam Gu, what do you think? I know you're not short of money, but even Gu Ce might not be able to get the token to Mingyue Tower. It's the best place to dine with your colleagues." Yuwen Yi's words were blatantly tempting.
Rong Yingluo paused. "Shall we have a meal together?"
What does this mean?
Does the Crown Prince already know that Gu Ce wants to compete for the position of Prime Minister?
Thinking about this possibility, it seems necessary to obtain the Mingyue Tower's token, just to give Gu Ce a little help.
I just don't know who owns Mingyue Tower; I'll have to find out later.
"Since Your Highness has said so, then I will respectfully comply." Rong Yingluo did not yet know the Crown Prince's purpose in doing so, but she knew that he must have ill intentions.
As for how to make things difficult for her, she had no idea at the moment.
However, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he wouldn't risk his life.
In the end, a total of eight women signed up, including Princess Jinyang, who also wanted the token.
The competition venue was not the flat ground where they had just practiced, but a small hill not far away.
"Little Princess, this time you and I have put up quite a lot of challenges. The difficulty level you young ladies used to face is a bit too low. I have had three fences prepared. Ladies, please cross them if you can. If you can't, you can give up halfway." Yuwen Yi's consideration for the young ladies won their hearts.
Rong Yingluo scoffed at his act of pretending to be a good person.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness." Someone expressed their gratitude.
The ladies chose new horses and arrived at the starting point of the competition.
Princess Jinyang also chose a horse, a precious steed, which she was not yet fully able to handle.
"Today, I, the Crown Prince, will be the referee," Yuwen Tai, who had remained silent until now, volunteered.
The referee needs to go to the finish line to watch.
"Then I will be the commander of Qidian." Yuwen Yi also took the initiative to define his own position.
