Chapter 744 Horse Racing
Pei Zhan and others went up to the observation deck, where there were already several people.

Tao Zhen was among them, surrounded by a group of girls. Among them was Ning Yan, whom they had met together at the Star Reaching Tower before. It was she who invited Tao Zhen over.

Tao Zhen was introducing the horses in the field to them. The girls were not interested at first, but after hearing what Tao Zhen said, they gradually started to listen and they were still discussing whose horse would win.

The Ninth Prince was obviously also very interested. He stood nearby and listened for a while and couldn't help but ask: "Who do you think will win?"

Tao Zhen had seen them a long time ago and guessed the identity of the Ninth Prince. She smiled and said, "Of course the Hu Ma brought by me will win."

Although the Ninth Prince was young, he was very smart and precocious. He did not agree with Tao Zhen's statement. He said like a young adult: "Although Hu horses are taller and stronger than Dashun's horses, they have traveled a long distance to get here and are inevitably affected by the soil and water." If they don’t accept it and are tired of traveling, even if they run fast and are unfamiliar with the venue, they may not be able to win.”

Tao Zhen felt that although this child was about the same age as Pei Heng, he was much smarter and more mature than Pei Heng, who only knew how to work. This shows that education is a very important thing, and people born in Rome are different.

The Ninth Prince's words made several girls suddenly realize. The girls who had just decided to follow Tao Zhen to defeat Hu Ma were hesitant.

Every time there is a horse race, someone will bet on it, but it is just a small matter. Everyone just wants to have fun and they don’t bet too much money.

Tao Zhen looked at the Ninth Prince with a smile: "Then who is the Ninth Prince trying to suppress?"

The Ninth Prince is good-looking, with a little baby fat on his face. He frowns and thinks like the male protagonist from a Mary Sue novel. When he was a child, he was noble and cute.

Although Tao Zhen doesn't like children, it's still hard for her to say that she doesn't like beautiful children without her conscience.

"I suppress..." He pointed to a tall and beautiful black horse over there and said, "I suppress Wei Xiaowu's Zhuifeng."

The seventh princess stepped forward and said with a smile: "Then the seventh princess will follow you to suppress Zhui Feng."

Only then did everyone notice that the seventh princess was there, and they quickly saluted. The seventh princess waved her hand: "No need."

After speaking, she looked at Pei Zhan and said, "What about you? Pei Zhan, who are you trying to suppress?"

Pei Zhan glanced at Tao Zhen. He really didn't expect Tao Zhen to come. When he left in the morning, Tao Zhen said he was going to Zhuangzi. This man kept it a secret.

Tao Zhen smiled at him playfully: "Yes, Second Young Master Pei, who are you suppressing?"

Pei Zhan's appearance was attractive even with a cold face, and several girls around him were secretly looking at him.

Pei Zhan asked, "Who are you suppressing?"

Tao Zhen said: "I am the second young master of Ning."

Pei Zhan was surprised, and the people around him were stunned for a moment. They thought she would overpower Tao Si. After all, they were biological siblings. However, thinking about the relationship between the Tao family, everyone felt that it was reasonable for her not to overpower Tao Si.

Pei Zhan said: "Then I will suppress the Fourth Young Master Tao."

Ning Yan smiled and said: "I will suppress the second brother too."

Several other girls also suppressed them, and they suppressed everyone.

"Master Wei doesn't gamble?" the seventh princess said to Wei Ziqian standing aside.

Wei Ziqian lazily leaned against the railing and said, "I don't understand. What should I do if I lose?"

The seventh princess smiled and said: "No way, do you still care about this little money?"

Wei Ziqian said: "I just don't like losing."

The seventh princess glanced at him and stepped forward. She crushed all three horses. When she came back, she said to Wei Ziqian: "This way you will win."

Wei Ziqian sneered: "Princess, are you deceiving yourself?"

The Seventh Princess shook her head: "Of course not. It's just one more choice. Even if the others lose, there is always a win." Wei Ziqian glanced at the horses in the field: "That's not necessarily true. The wallflowers often don't end well."

The seventh princess glanced at him and said: "It's not a good thing to be too cautious. It has nothing to do with you whether you win or lose. You don't have to bear the consequences of losing, and you won't enjoy the benefits of winning. Maybe you can take advantage of this. Their behavior will also make people dissatisfied and feel like an eyesore.”

Wei Ziqian was silent for a moment and said, "That's right."

While everyone was talking, the horse racing started below.

Tao Si and Wei Xiaowu shouted loudly. Although Ning Yue didn't speak, it could be seen that he was very nervous.

Tao Zhen glanced down and then looked away.

"You don't seem to care about winning or losing?" Wei Ziqian's voice came.

Tao Zhen was very wary of this person. She said, "I just put in two taels of silver. It has nothing to do with me who loses or wins. If you lose, it's just a meal, and if you win, it's still a meal."

Wei Ziqian was startled, then smiled for a moment: "That's right."

Pei Zhan obviously didn't care, but the Ninth Prince was very concerned.

The final result was that Ning Yue was first, Wei Xiaowu was second, and Tao Si's horse was third.

Wei Xiaowu frowned, unable to believe that he actually lost, while Ning Yue was very happy. He glanced at the observation deck. Wei Ziqian glanced at Tao Zhen beside him and said, "You know he will win?"

Tao Zhen said: "Yes, I gave him that horse. It is the best horse that has ever been on the battlefield. How can it not win?"

Wei Ziqian narrowed his eyes: "Now that you know, why don't you pay more?"

Tao Zhen said: "I know it will win, but there are always exceptions in everything. What if I lose, and I have a bit of a feud with Mr. Ning. I will spend two taels of silver to buy one so that he will not trouble me in the future. It is very special." It’s a good deal. I’m a businessman and I only care about what’s good for me and what’s a good deal for me. As for who wins, it doesn’t make any difference to me.”

After getting off the observation deck, everyone decided to go to the yard to see the peach blossoms. Ning Yue was very happy. Although Tao Si lost, Ning Yue defeated Wei Xiaowu. He was also happy and kept criticizing Wei Xiaowu.

Wei Xiaowu looked at his Zhui Feng, stepped forward and touched its head, snorting coldly: "It's just a win, what's there to be proud of?"

Tao Si retorted: "This is just the beginning. We will win more and more in the future."

Young Master Wei was so angry that he didn't want to pay attention to him.

Peach blossoms covered the manor, and the fragrance was fragrant. Everyone was fascinated by the scenery in front of them, but Tao Zhen asked Pei Zhan: "Can this peach tree bear fruit?"

How great would it be if such a large forest could bear fruit?
The Ninth Prince heard their conversation, looked back at Tao Zhen and said, "It can be knotted, but the peach is not big, but it is quite delicious."

Tao Zhen smiled and was about to say thank you when the Ninth Prince suddenly said: "I remember you. You have a very good relationship with my Second Emperor brother."

It’s really hard to pick up any pot. Children are really troublesome.

Ning Yue was very happy after winning the horse race. He asked people to bring tea and snacks to everyone, and also said that he would take everyone to the island in the middle of the lake for boating and fishing.

Everyone was very interested. Deep in the inland of the capital, the largest river these people had ever seen was the moat. The water was extremely rare.

Tao Zhen also wanted to go boating. She had never been in a boat.

During the assignment, Pei Zhan came with the Ninth Prince, so naturally he had to go with him. Tao Zhen was originally going to be with Ning Yan, but the seventh princess suddenly came over and said, "Tao Zhen, let's go together,"

Tao Zhen naturally couldn't refuse.
