The most precious blood-stained horses, the most untamable and fierce horses, docile ponies, tall and strong horses, and some medium-sized horses with gentle temperaments suitable for women to ride.
Huangfu Chuchu and Princess Wuyang each picked a strong maroon horse. Situ Wan liked white, so she picked the only pure white horse in the stable.
The steward was a little worried: "Although this horse is beautiful in color, it is a bit hot-tempered. Should Miss Situ think about it again?"
Hearing these words, Situ Wan couldn't help but feel a little uncertain. Just as he was about to speak, Princess Wuyang next to him said: "This white horse has a smooth and strong figure, a beautiful and noble color, and it fits the gentleness of Miss Situ at first glance."
temperament."
Situ Wan's words reached his throat and he swallowed them back, then said bravely: "Then let's take this one."
Princess Wuyang sneered.
"Princess, please choose a docile horse." Situ Wan looked at Yun Zishu, his tone sounded particularly considerate, "Although it runs slower, it is safe."
Yun Zishu ignored her and paced outside the stable, looking at each one one by one. The horses in front of her were all in good condition, strong and strong, with a smooth and healthy body. There was no weak horse.
"Since both Chu Chu and Wuyang chose maroon, I will do the same as them." Yun Zishu pointed to a maroon horse in front of her. Its color and body shape were very similar to the one chosen by Huangfu Chuchu and Princess Wuyang.
"Can we give us a nice nickname, the Three Musketeers?"
The young groom brought out the horse designated by Yun Zishu.
"The Three Red Swordsmen?" Huangfu Chuchu raised his eyebrows. "It should be called the Three Red Knights. But having said that, how is the Crown Princess's swordsmanship? We can compete with each other someday when we have time."
Yun Zishu said calmly: "My swordsmanship is pretty good."
"Sister Zishu, don't be brave," Yun Baozhu frowned, looking worried, "The women of Dongyou are used to practicing martial arts. If they misunderstand what Sister Zishu means, it may not end well."
Yun Zishu turned her head and looked at her with a half-smile: "Do you know me well? How do you know I'm trying to be brave?"
"I……"
"Don't be self-righteous and put your thoughts on my head." Yun Zishu smiled lightly and said coolly and sarcastically, "I will let you see what it means to be a frog in a well today. You have little knowledge."
After saying that, he got on the horse neatly, his movements were smooth and smooth, and there was no hint of jerkiness or clumsiness at all.
Princess Wuyang knew it was right as soon as she saw her movements. A smile appeared on her lips. She turned to look at the other princesses and ladies: "Come on, it's time to show off your riding skills. The loser, please don't cry."
oh."
Situ Wan's eyes narrowed, and he stared at Yun Zishu who had already sat on the horse with some shock. He could hardly believe that she moved so neatly.
He doesn't look like a novice at all.
Princess Wuyang and Huangfu Chuchu each got on their horses, held the reins in their hands, and looked down at the others: "Hurry up."
Situ Wan looked away and stepped on the stirrup. However, whether it was because the snow-white horse was not familiar with her aura or because she had made some mistake, the white horse suddenly raised its hoofs and neighed. Situ Wan was caught off guard and his body shook violently.
Before he could get on the horse, he was thrown off the horse. Although he didn't fall much, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and he was in shock.
"Miss Situ, be careful!" The steward quickly stretched out his hand to grab the reins and began to calm the irritable horse. He suggested, "This horse has a bad temper. Let me change it to another one for Miss Situ."
"No." Princess Wuyang seemed to be deliberately quarreling with Situ Wan today, with a mocking look in her eyes, "This horse was chosen by Miss Situ herself. Isn't it impossible to control it?"
Situ Wan's face turned red, and there was a burning embarrassment in her ears. Without saying a word, she grabbed the reins and stepped on the stirrups again.
Probably because there was a steward standing by to comfort her, the white horse didn't lose his temper again this time and obediently let her sit on the horse.
However, this does not mean that she can successfully control the horse today.
"Miss Situ, are you seated?" Princess Wuyang kindly reminded her, "You must step on the stirrups firmly and hold the reins tightly. Don't be thrown off. Your fragile body cannot withstand a fall from the horse.
.”
"Princess Wuyang, don't go too far!" Dong Lingyan got on her horse bitterly, "Is it your style to be sarcastic? Today we are all competing in riding skills. It's not certain who will win and who will lose. You can't wait to see the joke.
,Don’t you think it’s too early?”
"It's early or not, we'll know soon." Princess Wuyang looked at Yun Baozhu and Dong Lingzhi, "What are you two waiting for? You won't be timid anymore."
There was a hint of fear in Yun Baozhu's eyes, "I..."
The horses in front of me are so big and tall that it is difficult to even sit on them. How can I ride with them?
Didn't we agree to choose a docile pony?
Yun Baozhu turned to look at Situ Wan helplessly. Situ Wan was sitting on a tall white horse, feeling a little frightened. How could he have time to pay attention to Yun Baozhu at this time?
"Don't waste everyone's time, get on the horse." She frowned and said with a hint of imperceptible impatience in her tone, "Everyone here is not very good at riding, so you don't have to worry too much. Besides, there are so many people on the racecourse.
The guards are here, if anything happens, they will catch you in time."
Yun Baozhu's face turned pale, and she asked the steward to help her calm down the horse. She awkwardly stepped on the stirrup, and tried once or twice but couldn't even get on the horse's back. Her eyes were red with anxiety, and she was about to shed tears.
"Princess Baozhu seems to be really not good at riding." Huangfu smiled lightly, "In order not to cause unnecessary trouble to the racecourse guards, Princess Baozhu should just stand aside and wait."
She actually didn't mean anything else when she said this. Anyway, Yun Baozhu is not the protagonist today. In Huangfu Chuchu's view, she is just a chess piece held in Situ Wan's palm, a chess piece that cannot be put on the table and has no effect at all.
There is no sense of accomplishment even in dealing with her.
However, when Yun Baozhu heard these words, it was like a heavy slap on her face, causing her a burning pain.
Yun Baozhu bit her lip, feeling a bit overwhelmed for a moment.
Dong Lingzhi and Dong Lingxuan also got on the horse, and a group of seven people sat on the horse and waited for her.
Yun Baozhu tried twice more, but finally chose to give up under the increasingly impatient looks of everyone. When she stepped aside, thinking of Situ Wan's plan, she didn't even dare to look up to see her expression at this time.
"Let's go." Princess Wuyang held the reins in one hand and whipped the horse's belly, "Whoever reaches the finish line first wins, drive!"
