Every night from that day on, Xiao Yezi would take Yin Yin to the stable in the palace to practice riding.

At the beginning, when Yin Yin heard that she was going to practice riding and archery, her eyes widened, and she looked at Xiao Yezi in surprise with an expression of "you are joking", and almost said "You are trying to play me". But Xiao Yezi looked indifferent: "If you eat hard, you will become a master." ”

Yin Yin shook her head in disbelief: "I want you to take me to the throne, who asked you to teach me to ride a horse...... What does this horseback riding have to do with competing for favors? I'm a princess, not a groom. ”

"Do you think that the princess should be high, hide in the boudoir to study piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and be a gentle and demure lady?"

Yin Yin nodded: "Since ancient times, princesses have done this." Gentle and gentle, and virtuous. ”

Xiao Yezi said lightly: "How many such princesses are there in this palace?" ”

Yin Yin pursed her lips: "But that's how everyone came." ”

Xiao Yezi smiled coldly: "With all due respect to Xiao Yezi, may I ask what you can do to win against them?" Is he proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, or is he good at blowing, playing and singing? If you can have an outstanding one and have already become an instant hit, why bother with an ordinary palace maid like me? ”

Yin Yin bit her lip and smiled slightly: "You are extraordinary...... I've inquired about you, but you're a strange woman who escorted Brother Wang home. Otherwise......"

"Or you wouldn't trust me? Really? Xiao Yezi smiled faintly.

"You're not going to be angry if I say that, are you?" Yin Yin approached Xiao Yezi and reached out and tugged at her sleeve, "Don't be angry." I know you're a good person, or you wouldn't have helped me in the first place. ”

The corners of Xiao Yezi's lips twitched, and he smiled: "Xiao Yezi is loyal to the Yanjin Empire, and naturally he is also loyal to the princess, so why be angry." ”

Yin Yin listened to Xiao Yezi's answer, was very satisfied, nodded and said, "That's it, I won't intervene, you say quickly, how are you going to make me get ahead?" ”

Xiao Yezi smiled: "If you want to get ahead, you must first be arrogant and not crowded." ”

"Proud but not crowded?" Yin Yin pondered for a moment, "Let's hear it." ”

"If a woman wants to excel among women, she must either have a beautiful look, or a noble virtue, or a strong qualification, or extraordinary skills."

Before Xiao Yezi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yin Yin: "You are here to ridicule me again, I am not qualified for any of these four items." ”

Xiao Yezi smiled: "But these add up, in my opinion, they are not as thorough as a word." ”

Yin Yin was puzzled: "What word?" ”

Xiao Yezi smiled: "Do what you like." ”

Yin Yin pondered: "Do what you like? ”

"Exactly." Xiao Yezi smiled, "If you want to take down someone, the best way is to win his heart." Even if you can't get his heart for a while, you must act according to his heart, so that he feels that you and him are one and the same, thinking the same thing, and looking in the same direction. As long as you establish this impression on him, everything you do will be in line with his heart. ”

Yin Yin pondered for a moment: "In other words, I have to comply with my father's request?" She suddenly looked slack, "My father's favorite thing is a woman who is three from the fourth virtue and is quiet and virtuous, but I have been chaste and quiet and virtuous for so many years, and I haven't gotten better?" ”

Xiao Yezi smiled slightly: "That's because you didn't think about the emperor's intentions." She paused and continued, "The emperor is the commander of the Yanjin Empire, the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, and everything he does is in the previous dynasty. Dare to ask the princess, what is the situation of the previous dynasty, do you know? ”

Yin Yin tilted her head and thought for a while: "It's the war between Zhaoyin and Yan Jin." ”

Xiao Yezi smiled: "Yes, whether it is His Royal Highness the deceased Crown Prince or the Emperor, they are all concerned about the future of the Yanjin Empire." The day before yesterday, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was murdered by Zhaoyin's gang of thieves, resulting in a great defeat in the battle of Yandang City and hurting the vitality of the Yanjin Empire. What the emperor is most concerned about now will never be what flowers, birds, fish and insects are, nor what poems and songs will be, but how to resist Zhaoyin's future invasion of the Yanjin Empire. ”

Yin Yin's eyes widened and she muttered, "But...... But I don't know how to lead troops to fight! You can't let me learn and sell now, and beg my father to go into battle, right? ”

Xiao Yezi smiled and said: "It's too late to learn and sell now, and with your princess's respect, you can do no less than personally lead troops to fight." ”

"What should I do?" Yin Yin took Xiao Yezi's hand and begged, "Don't sell Guanzi, just say it." ”

Xiao Yezi said with a smile: "It's not easy to say it's simple, but it's not easy to say it's hard." The first thing is that you have to learn some horsemanship yourself. The second thing is to learn how to speak. ”

"Learn to ride a horse? Learning to speak? Yin Yin was still puzzled, Xiao Yezi possessed her and bit a few words in her ear. Yin Yin's eyes gradually turned from dark to bright, and suddenly realized: "That's what it means." ”

Xiao Yezi took out a white horse from the stable, skillfully installed the saddle iron pedal for the horse, and smiled at Yin Yin: "Then, princess, please get on the horse." ”

Yin Yin approached the white horse tremblingly, with a frightened expression. Xiao Yezi Nunu mouthed, signaling that she could touch the horse's head first. Yin Yin trembled and stretched out her hand, and when she was about to touch the white horse, the white horse suddenly snorted, and Yin Yin shrank back in fright.

Yin Yin was hesitating whether to carry out her determination to the end, only to hear Xiao Yezi sneer behind her: "In fact, being so idle all your life is not a way out." ”

Couldn't get used to hearing such ridicule, Yin Yin frowned, and snorted coldly: "Who wants to do nothing all their lives!" I'm the supreme Yanjin princess! ”

As she spoke, she reached out again and gently touched the white horse's nose, but this time, she did not retract her hand.

Xiao Yezi stood behind her and smiled slightly: "That's right." ”

Xu is descendants of Yanjin do have nomadic blood, supplemented by Xiao Yezi's careful training overnight, but in just half a month, Yin Yin's equestrian progress is very fast. Xiao Yezi watched her ride back and forth in the garden, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in her heart. She suddenly remembered Yun Huan - I think that when Yun Huan taught her back then, she was probably in this state of mind.

Yin Yin rode the horse, shuttled through the garden passage again, and went straight to Xiao Yezi, only to pull the reins and brake, and said with a smug smile: "Xiao Yezi, how am I riding?" ”

Xiao Yezi applauded lightly: "It's a fast progress." ”

Yin Yin smiled, and then said worriedly: "I have been practicing hard for half a month, and I have just mastered the skill of running, but it is only a few days away from my father's birthday, with this skill, can I really show my style at the birthday banquet at that time?" ”
