Soon the morning passed. Lunch was all a unified meal, and the three of Nalan Hanxue came over to accompany Ying Qi again.

"It's time to ride and shoot in the afternoon. Sister Yingqi, do you know how to ride a horse?" Most of the noble ladies have been learning to ride and shoot since they were born, which is a rule set by the ancestors. But learning doesn't mean being proficient.,After all, it's been sinicized for a long time.。 Riding and archery is generally just a basic skill, not a survival skill, so most of the ladies only know how to do it. This makes the proficient Saren and Xitong very popular with His Majesty today.

"I won't. I'm weak. Therefore, he did not learn to ride a horse. Ying Qi said lightly.

"That's bad. What if the Twelve Princesses and Xiang Lan provoke later?" Zhang Panlan is a Han girl, so naturally she is not very good at horseback riding. Listening to her tone, it is estimated that she has also been ridiculed.

"It's okay, Sister Panlan, I won't, I just ignore them. Ying Qi instead advised Zhang Panlan not to worry.

It's class time, and sure enough, everyone went to the Shangxi Garden next door to Wuyizhai first. A special place was opened up for the princes to practice bow horses.

Because the princesses and nobles still have piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the practice time is half an hour, and then it is the time for the princes and brothers to practice.

After everyone stood in their positions, the cavalry master was Shi Xueyan, the third daughter of the Marquis of Jinghai, that is, the granddaughter of Shi Lang, the most famous general of the Qing Dynasty. was specially hired by Kangxi to teach the noble girls. Shi Xueyan first talked about the essentials of horseback riding, and then began to practice in groups of three. After dividing it, there were only two people left in the end, that is, Ying Qi and Zhang Panlan, Ying Qi glanced left and right, and saw that Nalan Hanxue and Tong Jialuyao both nodded at her, so she instructed Zhang Panlan to be very bad at horseback riding. plus a person who doesn't know anything about her, it is estimated that they don't need to get on the horse.

Shi Xueyan came to Yingqi in person, after all, Yingqi was the first day of class, so he had to give special guidance.

"Niu Cobalt Lu Yingqi. Shi Xueyan looks a little cold, but he is sassy in a Milan riding suit.

"Master!" Ying Qi and Zhang Panlan were busy saluting again.

"Since you have never learned, let the minions lead the horse today, and you will first try to learn how to get on and off the horse, and feel what it is like to be on a horse. ”

"Thank you, master!" just learn to get off the horse, and someone will lead you, so naturally there will be no danger. Ying Qi nodded and happily agreed.

"Panlan, you're always too nervous, just practice slowly on the side. Shi Xueyan looked at Zhang Panlan, although she is also the daughter of Han Chen, but this Zhang Panlan is the standard boudoir lady, Shi Xueyan doesn't like her very much. Her personality is sassy and unrestrained, and naturally people like Saren and Xitong are even more blue-eyed.

"Yes, master!" Zhang Panlan replied respectfully.

So they walked to the side alone, and the two little eunuchs came with two little foals of beige.

Zhang Panlan practiced on the side, while Shi Xueyan personally instructed Ying Qi to get off the horse.

"The horse doesn't know you, so when you bring it, you should first gently soothe it, make it your best friend, loosen the reins, and take it a few steps to let it relax first. Pat it, be next to it, and let it feel your breath first. ”

"In the early stage, the eunuch will pull the reins for you, you have to face the left side of the saddle, retract the reins with your left hand and grasp the horse's mane, when the horse is still, grab the mane with your left hand, support the saddle with your right hand, step on the left stirrup with the forefoot of your left foot, force the three points of force at the same time, release your right hand, lift your right leg to ride on the horse's back by inertia, clamp both sides of the horse's belly with both legs, step into the right stirrup with your right foot, and straighten your upper body. When you get on the horse, be careful to grasp the reins with both hands, hold one end with your thumb, and clamp the other end with your ring finger and little finger. ”

"When dismounting, hold the reins with your left hand, prop your right hand on the bridge in front of the saddle, detach your right foot from the horse, lift your right leg flat across the horse's back and land, and then leave the horse's pedal with your left foot. Stand up. ”

"When riding, hit the sides of the horse's belly with your lower leg, the harder the beating, the faster the horse's pace, if you want the horse to turn left, you should clamp the horse's right belly with the right calf back, clamp the horse's left shoulder with the left calf forward, and pull the left reins to the left at the same time. If the horse is to slow down or stop, tighten the reins and shout at the same time."

"Alright, let's practice as I told you. Ying Qi listened carefully, and then prepared to get on the horse and practice.

The little eunuch Xiao Lizi, a little man, the Yellow River flooded last year, and both parents were flooded, in order to make a living, his brother discussed with him, and he voluntarily sold it to the palace. It's been a year since I came in.,Because of my character.,I've been bullied.,Arranged to be in charge of sweeping horse manure in Shangxiyuan.。 Today, the eunuch in charge didn't know why, and suddenly arranged for him to lead the horses for the nobles. When I took it over, it turned out to be the duchess who entered the palace for the first time, and I remembered listening to the gossip of the eunuchs in private. This duchess lady was extremely fond of the twelve princesses who came to the racecourse. It's like I led her a horse, maybe when the twelve princesses came over, knowing that she was responsible for leading the horse for this young lady, it would be light to beat her for no reason, no wonder she would send him over today.

Xiao Lizi sighed in his heart, but he still honestly comforted the horse. After all, it's Miss Duke, and if the horse is shocked, she won't be killed.

"Don't worry, Miss Duke, this is a foal, but meek. Xiao Lizi looked at Ying Qi's cute appearance like a golden boy and girl, and said something to the devil. Then he was shocked to realize that Miss Qianjin was not a low-level slave like herself, so she quickly lowered her head.

Ying Qi couldn't help but smile and looked at the warmth conveyed by this strange little eunuch.

"Thank you. I know. Ying Qi habitually thanked her.

Xiao Lizi didn't expect that she couldn't help but be scolded and disgusted for being nosy, and this high-ranking duchess lady actually thanked herself. I couldn't help but look up in surprise. Looking into Ying Qi's big glasses, there was no usual contempt, as if she was looking at herself as an equal. It's been a long time since he's felt this kind of respect, and he can't help but feel a little excited. It feels like this young lady is like a fairy daughter.

Ying Qi began to practice getting on and off the horse.

"Alright, you try to walk a few more slowly, to get familiar with the feeling of riding, I'll go over there and have a look." Shi Xueyan saw that she had practiced a few times and was able to get on and off the horse, so she wanted to practice a simple movement anyway, so she went to see the others.

"Yes, master!" replied Yingqi.

"Miss Duke, then sit tight, and I'll lead the horse a few steps forward. Master Shi walked away, and Xiao Lizi said to Ying Qi boldly.

"Okay. Ying Qi nodded.

"Little father-in-law, what's your name?" Ying Qi tried to adjust her position on the horse.

"The slave maid is called Xiao Lizi. Xiao Li Zi hurriedly pulled the reins with one hand and replied while bowing.

"Little plum, oops, what a name. Ying Qi remembered the most favored eunuch Li in the Qing Dynasty, but the eunuch who was not Cixi's old witch was also called Xiao Lizi. I couldn't help but laugh to myself.

"Thank you, Miss Duchess. Xiao Lizi felt that his name was extremely ordinary, but when he saw the fairy-like Duchess smiling brightly, he couldn't help but feel extremely happy, and for the first time felt that his name was really good.

Little Plum led the foal and walked forward slowly.

Ying Qi sat on the horse, feeling the wind blowing on her face, the noise of the ladies and ladies galloping horses in the distance seemed to be far away, through the sunlight in the shade of the trees, she looked at the brothers who were coming towards the racecourse, and suddenly remembered that when she was in college, the young people squandered sweat on the basketball court, and she and the girls in the dormitory rode bicycles around the playground.

"Miss Duke, be careful!" As Xiao Li Zi exclaimed, Ying Qi heard the neighing of the horse in hindsight, and then felt that the whole body of the pony under him was erected, and Ying Qi, who was sitting on the horse, was immediately carried down by the horse, and seemed to be about to fall down. But because she kept pulling the reins, she didn't fall out immediately, but her hand was strangled by the reins, and she subconsciously clenched the reins. Then the pony bounced again, and Yingqi was shaken back into the horse. Then Ying Qi saw Xiao Lizi's hand pulling the reins stiffly, but the whole person was dragged to the ground by the horse running forward. And he is still staggered on horseback, as if he is about to be thrown out by the horse at any time.

"Miss Duke, don't let go. Little Plum gritted his teeth and still held on to the reins, hoping to control the horse, but he was too small and light to put any obstacles in his way to the crazy horse. He could only remind Ying Qi on the horse that he couldn't let go, and once he let go, he would either fall out or be trampled by the horse. In a daze, he finally knew why he was chosen to lead the horse today, it turned out that everything was just a trap.

"Qi'er!" Yinli, who was walking in the distance, saw the sudden madness of the horses, and Yingqi was almost turned upside down, and was frightened. The rest of the crowd was amazed. Yin Zhen swept his eyes and saw Nalan Hanxue and Tong Jialuyao riding horses in front of him. Rushed forward two steps, lifted the two of them one by one, and threw them directly into the direction of thirteen.

"Seventeen, come!" Yinli also reacted very quickly, jumped on the two horses with Yinzhen, and patted the horse's buttocks, and the two horses immediately rushed straight to Yingqi's direction.

"You rush from behind, I'll go ahead from the front. Yinzhen instructed Yinli, and the two just passed from different directions.

All of them stopped.

"Oh my God, how can you be scared!" the crowd whispered. The steward of Shangxi Garden and Shi Xueyan ran in the direction of Yingqi.

"Little Lizi, I can't hold it anymore. Ying Qi felt like her internal organs were about to be shaken out.

"Don't let go. If you fall out, you will fall to death. Miss Yingqi, you have to hold on, someone will come to save us. Xiao Lizi gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

"Ahh
