Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 377 Horse Riding
Naguo's temperament was extremely docile. When he saw the fruit in his mouth, he immediately stuck out his tongue and rolled the apple into his mouth.

When Wan Xian saw it, she was extremely happy and said, "Long live the horse, this horse has eaten the fruit fed by the slave."

"Then I'll feed you another one, as long as it's cooked." Kangxi said, taking another apple and handing it to Wanxian's palm.

Wanxian quickly fed Guo Xima's mouth again.Seeing that Guo dismounted and ate it, Wanxian turned to Kangxi and said, "Long live Lord, does this horse have a name?"

"No, you can get one for it." Kangxi said to Wanxian gently.So what if it had a name, it was the owner who should have named the horse.

"Long live Lord, I don't know what name to give this horse. Long live Lord, can you choose one?" Wan Xian said coquettishly, holding Kang Xi's hand.

Kangxi touched Wanxian's bun with only a few small flowers in it, and said dotingly: "Okay, when you can ride a horse, you can choose a good horse and let you name it. This horse is small, I remember it. It must be a mare.”

"My Lord Long Live, this is indeed a female horse. Because Lord Long Live, you ordered us to pick a docile horse. This female horse has always been docile than the male horse." After taking Galudai to see the horse, he said Surha, who came back quickly, quickly replied.

Kangxi nodded and said to Wanxian in a deliberation manner: "This is the horse I gave you for the first time. It also likes to eat apples, so let's call it Chu Ping."

"Sure, let's call her Chuping." Even if Kangxi didn't understand the meaning of the name, Wanxian said it was a good name.Wanxian took the initiative to pick up an apple and feed it to the horse named Chuping.

Chuping ate the apple immediately.

Wanxian gently stroked Chuping's fur and said, "Chuping, Chuping, this will be your name from now on. Are you happy that you have a name?"

Seeing that the time was right, Kangxi said to Wanxian: "Now I'm familiar with it. Come on, go up and try it."

"Now? Long live my Lord, I'm afraid." Wanxian became timid again when she heard that she was about to mount her horse.

Kangxi quickly coaxed: "Don't be afraid, look at Chu Ping. He is so tall. Even if you fall, you won't be hurt. I will be by your side to protect you."

"Well, Long Live Lord, you must be by my side." Wanxian was relieved and gave Kangxi a thousand instructions.

"Okay. Come, I'll help you up." Kangxi said, pulling Wanxian to Chu Ping's left side.

Wanxian followed Kangxi to Chu Ping's left side.

Kangxi took Wanxian's hand and warned her carefully: "You must remember this. When mounting, you should mount from the left side of the horse, put on the stirrup with your left foot and step on the horse with your right foot."

As Kangxi spoke, he supported Wanxian and motioned for Wanxian to mount the horse as he instructed.

Wanxian obediently followed Kangxi's instructions, carefully put her left foot in the stirrup and stepped onto the horse with her right foot.

When Kangxi saw Wanxian getting on the horse, he quickly warned: "Okay, not bad. Sit firmly on the saddle quickly, hold the stirrups with the soles of your feet, buckle the horse's belly with your toes, straighten your waist, and hold the reins with both hands. .”

Wanxian sat on the horse. Although she was a little scared, she still followed Kangxi's instructions step by step and pulled the reins tightly.

"Okay, what a good boy. Look, aren't you sitting on a horse now?" Kangxi stood on the left side of Chu Ping and looked at Wanxian sitting on the horse and praised him sincerely.In fact, when Wanxian got on the horse just now, Kangxi was also panicked, fearing that Wanxian would accidentally fall off the horse.

"Long live Lord, my slave is really sitting on the horse." Wanxian sat on the horse, feeling indescribable joy in her heart.

"Okay, let's not worry about how to control Chu Ping. You sit on the horse first, and we go around the racecourse first. Okay?" Kangxi said to Wanxian.

Wanxian pulled the reins and nodded.

Upon seeing this, Kangxi walked up to the horse's head, personally pulled up the horse's head rope, led the horse to the edge of the racecourse and started circling.

Upon seeing this, Liang Jiugong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Long live my lord, why don't you let me lead the horse? I promise that I won't throw the queen."

Suerha also hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Long live my Lord, let me let my servant come. Long Live Lord, you are a man of ten thousand gold."

Kangxi waved away the minions who came forward and said: "No need for you, Nao Nao. Who said I can't hold the horse anymore? Please step back."

When Kangxi got angry, no one dared to stop him, and they quickly stepped aside.

While holding the horse, Kangxi told Wanxian: "Your back must be straight and the reins should be tightened." "Yes, I know. I must hold the reins tightly." Wanxian's body was stiff. , Kangxi’s words have always been kept in mind.

Only then did Kangxi feel relieved and lead the horse to go around.Not only that, Kangxi still looked back at Wanxian on horseback from time to time.

"Drive." I saw Galudai riding his horse in the direction of Kangxi and Wanxian.After waiting three meters away from Kangxi and Wanxian, Galudai tightened the reins.

After the horse stopped, Galudai dismounted and said hello to Kangxi and Wanxian: "Greetings to Huang Mafa, and hello to Aunt Shuma."

"Get up." Kangxi said kindly.

Wanxian quickly said: "Galu Dai, you ride really well."

"Thank you for your compliments, but my granddaughter's riding skills are not outstanding." Galudai said sheepishly.

"Galu Dai, you don't have to be modest. No one in your generation can compare with you. All of them only know how to recite poems, compose poems, play music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Little do you know that our Qing Dynasty is fighting on horseback. In the world, even women should learn to ride and shoot, so that they can live up to their Manchu origin." When Kangxi thought of the granddaughters who came to the palace to pay respects during the Dragon Boat Festival, he became angry.Obviously they are all royal family members, but they all want to imitate the dress and style of those Han women.Especially the voluptuous and voluptuous Fulana from the fourth family's family, she completely imitated the appearance of the Han women that Yinzhen preferred. "Liang Jiugong."

"Slave is here, please give me your orders, Lord Long Live." Liang Jiugong immediately stepped forward, waiting for Lord Long Live's orders.

"Go and pass on my instructions: all the heirs of the royal family, regardless of gender, must be proficient in riding and archery. Let their respective Ama's mothers teach them well." Kangxi said dissatisfied.

"Come on, I will pass on the oral instructions now. I will retire." Liang Jiugong agreed and immediately retreated outside.

Kangxi then said kindly to Galudai: "Good boy, go ride your horse and practice hard."

"Yes, my granddaughter has left first." When Galudai saw Kangxi holding Wanxian's horse, he knew that this was not the place for him to stay for a long time.He quickly saluted and got on his horse and rode away.

"Long live my lord, Galudai is the crown prince's legitimate daughter after all. She is proficient in riding skills at such a young age." Wanxian praised Kangxi.

"All the crown princes have meritorious service in their upbringing. Only Galudai, like this, can retain the momentum of the Manchu aunt of the Qing Dynasty." Kangxi said to Wanxian.

"I heard that the Crown Princess was selected after thousands of choices, Lord Long Live. It shows that Lord Long Live you have good taste." Wan Xian said to Kangxi.

"Your little mouth is getting better and better at talking. Are you tired? Is the saddle soft? Is it bumpy when you sit on it?" Kangxi asked Wanxian carefully.

"My slave is not tired, and the saddle is soft and not bumpy." Wanxian said matter-of-factly.

Kangxi then said with confidence: "I specifically asked you to soften this saddle."

"This slave knows that you are the best to your slaves." Wanxian said with emotion.

"Okay, do you want to try to make the horse move?" Kangxi asked Wanxian patiently.

Wanxian immediately replied: "Yes, I want it. Long live my Lord, what do you want me to do?"

Kangxi waved his hand, and Suerha immediately stepped forward to hold the horse's rope.

Kangxi walked to Wanxian's left side and taught: "Press the stirrups with the soles of your feet and buckle the horse's belly with your toes. Keep your waist straight, hold the reins with both hands, and tap gently with your heels. The horse’s belly makes the horse walk.”

Wanxian obediently started to move according to Kangxi's instructions, and sure enough, Chuping took two steps forward.

Kangxi followed Chu Ping's footsteps and taught as he walked: "If you want the horse to stop, gently pull the reins back with both hands at the same time, but be careful not to pull back suddenly with force, lest the horse suddenly stands up and you fall. Also. If you want to dismount, first step in with the toes of your left foot, then release your right foot, and then dismount. But remember them all. These are the most important things, so you must keep them in mind."

"Yes, I will definitely remember it firmly in my mind." Wanxian solemnly assured Kangxi.

Kangxi was still worried and suggested to Wanxian: "First follow what I teach you and do it yourself."

"Okay, if you want the horse to stop with both hands and gently pull the reins back..." Wanxian stopped, dismounted, and mounted step by step according to the steps taught by Kangxi.
