Chapter 57

Although Cheng Shuang felt that the choice of time was not right, besides, the equestrian competition in Qiu Lie was only for one day, and even if her mother practiced, she would have no chance to perform, but she was just a slave after all, so she was not good at talking too much, Heed her orders.

Xiao Wanwan lifted the curtain and walked to the stables. Zhao Jingzhuo saw a familiar beauty from a distance, but when he got closer, he found that it was really Yan Jieyu.

"Little lord."

"I don't know why the emperor's wife came here so late?"

Standing in front of the stable, Xiao Wanwan looked past the brightly colored horses and asked, "Your lord, do you know which one is the strongest horse here?"

"The most powerful horse is General Chang's mount, named Ta Feng," the little prince pointed his finger to the left, "Today, General Chang won the first place on it. This horse has strong feet and an arrogant temperament. General, no one else can order it."

Xiao Wanwan walked up to Ta Feng. It was a dark horse with bright black eyes. It scraped the soil under its feet and snorted loudly.

Xiao Wanwan reached out and touched the mane on its body: "It's really a good horse."

The little prince said: "Naturally, this horse was given to General Chang by Emperor Father when he was still alive, and with General Chang, he has lived and died several times on the battlefield, so he can be regarded as the ever-victorious general among horses!"

Xiao Wanwan asked: "My lord, can you help bring this horse out?"

"Sister-in-law, what do you want?"

Xiao Wanwan smiled: "I want to practice equestrianism."

The little prince immediately stopped him: "This horse has a fierce temperament, and most people can't control it. The emperor's wife should change it... Although this king's horse is not as good as General Chang's, it is a rare good horse. If the sister-in-law wants to practice, she can use Xiao Wang's horse."

Xiao Wanwan opened the fence of the stable, took the rein with her hand, and led Ta Feng out.

The little prince tried to persuade him to no avail, so he had to hire himself to lead the horse, for fear that something would happen to Xiao Wanwan, and he also dispelled his original intention of going back to the tent.

She was sitting on Ta Feng's back, her cheeks were slightly puffed up, her face was slumped, her expression was not happy, she asked Zhao Jingzhuo: "My lord, did you all practice equestrianism when you were young?"

The little prince replied: "I have been practicing since I can remember. My father once said that equestrianism is as important as scrolls. It is the root of the people of Zhaoguo, so I can't forget it."

"Then someone like me, who can't even ride a horse, is not on the stage?"

The little prince smiled: "Sister-in-law Huang is from the south of the Yangtze River, a woman from a water village, with a docile temperament. Yesterday's bow shooting is already very impressive!"

Xiao Wanwan muttered: "What's the use of being good at bow shooting? He prefers good equestrian skills..."

"The Emperor is here!"

Cheng Shuang was shocked when he heard this voice, quickly put down the embroidery work in his hands, knelt down respectfully, and lowered his head: "I have seen the emperor, please greet the emperor."

"Well," Emperor Jiawen nodded casually, looking around the tent, "Where's your master?"

Cheng Shuang quietly raised her eyes, only to see a sharply curved jaw. Eunuch Li reminded her in a low voice: "The emperor asked you something, where is Yan Jieyu? Why don't you come out to see me?"

Cheng Shuang: "...Go back to the emperor, Yan Jieyu, Yan Jieyu is not in the camp."

Emperor Jiawen: "She went out again? Where did she go? Why didn't you follow her?"

"Go back to the emperor, the empress will not let the slaves follow, and say... say go to practice equestrianism."

Emperor Jiawen glanced at the sky, and said incredulously, "It's almost dark, she went to practice horsemanship?"
