Shaohua is Junqing

Chapter 190

Prince Chen’s Palace, Qiu Shuang Pavilion.

"Your Highness, I want to learn how to ride a horse. Can you teach me?"

"Of course, but why do you suddenly want to learn how to ride a horse?"

"I didn't think much of it before because I couldn't ride. Later, you took me to watch a polo match and to the autumn hunt. Seeing you riding on horses with vigor and vigor, I suddenly felt so excited and thrilled. Especially when I saw General Chu, a woman, riding a horse and shooting arrows so well, it was so cool! So I wanted to learn."

"You can learn, but don't rush it. I'll take you to the North Suburbs Horse Farm after I finish some things in two days."

"Okay, it's a deal."

On the day of going to the horse farm, Siyu specially changed into the riding clothes that Beitang Moyan had given her before. She tied her hair up high, looking bright and heroic.

"Your Highness, Princess." Outside the gate of Prince Chen's Mansion, Siyu was about to get in the car when she suddenly heard Su Xunxian calling.

"Mr. Su."

"Where are you going?"

"Go to the horse farm." Siyu replied.

"Can I come along?"

"Of course, get in the car." Siyu responded readily.

Su Xunxian smiled happily and got on the carriage without hesitation, but he did not notice that Beitang Mo, who got on after him, had a dark face.

"Is there a polo match going on at the racecourse?"

"No, I wanted to learn how to ride a horse, so Your Highness took me to the stable to teach me."

"I can ride a horse, and I can teach you."

"Mr. Su has been to the battlefield, so his riding skills are naturally beyond doubt."

As the carriage moved along, Siyu was very happy. She always had a smile on her face and looked out the window from time to time.

The view in front of me became wider and wider, and there were mountains in the distance.

"Are we almost there?" Siyu asked.

"Yes, it's just ahead." Beitang Mo Ran replied.

The carriage stopped and everyone got off.

"Your humble servant respectfully welcomes His Royal Highness Prince Chen, Princess Shaohua, who is this gentleman?"

"The Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Su Xunxian."

"Welcome, Lord Su." The speaker was Sui Zhan, the stable manager under the Imperial Household Department.

"No gift."

"Your Highness, Princess, Lord Su, please come in."

"Go straight to the stables."

"Yes, please follow me."

There were long rows of stables, neatly arranged, with a horse in each cubicle. Not far away was a large pasture where several horses were leisurely eating grass.

"This is your first time riding a horse, and you may not be familiar with the habits of horses, so I have selected a few docile ponies for you. You can pick one you like and try riding it first."

"A foal, is this breed inherently short, or is it a type of horse that has not yet reached adulthood?"

"This breed is a short horse, called a fruit-bearing horse, which means it can pass under the lowest branches of fruit trees without hindrance."

"So this kind of horse is not very tall?"

"Yes, this kind of horse is about three feet tall, and has a gentle temperament and is easy to tame. Most of the sons of noble families, princes and ladies like to travel in carriages pulled by this kind of horse."

"Take me to see it first."

"Princess, please."

Sui Zhan led everyone to the third row of stables.

"All of these horses in this row are natural horses. The first four were specially selected by this humble official. Princess, you can take a look first."

"It is indeed short and looks acceptable, but I don't like it, so I would like to ask Lord Sui to help me choose a tall horse with a strong body and strong endurance."

"This... This is the princess' first time riding a horse. I'm afraid she won't be able to control a large horse. If I hurt the princess, I will be killed."

"I understand Lord Sui's concerns. With Your Highness by my side, I will be fine, and I will not blame Lord Sui. So I'll have to trouble you, Lord Sui."

Sui Zhan raised his eyes and looked at Prince Chen, "Just do as the princess wishes. The princess's safety will be fully guaranteed by me."

With the approval of the King of Chen, Sui Zhan was relieved, "Yes, please follow me."
