The wind of early autumn carries a hint of coolness, but with a bit of late summer warmth, blowing people's hearts cold and dry.

On the royal hunting ground, a special place was used to test the skills of riding and archery for the children of the family with bamboo poles, and now this place was divided into two halves, Chu Nian and Mu Qing stood on one side, Shen Ruan and Princess Mingyue stood on the other side, and they were surrounded by horses that they had selected.

When the horses on both sides saw each other, they couldn't see each other, and the horses' hooves were uneasy and they were panting lowly.

Compared with the tension inside the venue, it is also in full swing outside the venue.

Those gentlemen played new tricks and opened two gambling games, one was to bet on who would reach the finish line first, and the other was to bet on whether the third mother of the Chu family would fall off the horse halfway.

Shen Ruan easily turned over and got on the horse, but Mingyue stepped on the stirrup with one foot and was graceful, Mu Qing had already got on the horse, only Chu Nian recruited Chu Yuanlang without hurry, and only carefully got on the horse with Chu Yuanlang's support.

"Third sister, it's better to be careful."

Chu Yuanlang has always felt that this third sister is unfathomable, but it has not reached the level of omnipotence, Chu Nian's body looks thin and weak, and today it is not good, he has always been worried that Chu Nian will be bullied by those people.

Hearing this, Chu Nian smiled and gently touched his head, and he retreated uneasily.

Being ridden by Chu Nian, the swarthy horse looked a little restless, she leaned over, patted the horse's neck gently, and leaned on the horse's ear and muttered something with a light smile, the horse was a little tame.

Mu Qinghu on the side looked at her suspiciously, "What did you say to a brute?" ”

Chu Nian shook his head with a smile and said, "That's my secret with it, why tell you."

At this time, Princess Mingyue on the other side of the track seemed to be waiting impatiently, only to see her snort coldly: "Only those who have no ability can rely on the power of ghosts and gods."

Mu Qing has brought her temperament of not being afraid of heaven and earth to the extreme, there is no one in this world that Mu Qing does not dare to scare, even if the other party is a princess of a country, she always has a way to make people not go off the stage.

"The princess laughed, we also know that equestrianism must not be as strong as Shen Erniang and His Highness, we don't have to compare equestrianism with His Highness, but this is Shen Erniang's request, and we can't ask you to let us do it?"

Knowing that we don't know how to equestrian, we deliberately pick and choose shortcomings, we don't ask for ghosts and monsters, who do we ask?

Even if Mu Qing said it vaguely enough, it was enough for people to understand, and besides, everyone knew that Chu Sanniang couldn't ride a horse, this Shen Ruan said that it was to release his suspicions, but he picked a project that Chu Nian was not good at, and Sima Zhao's heart was known to passers-by, and as a result, she was a princess and came in.

Hearing Mu Qing say this, the person who had a ghost in his heart blushed weakly, and at this moment, he felt that the bystanders were looking at him wrongly.

At the moment, Princess Mingyue is clearly facing Shen Ruan, although she doesn't know the whole story, but it is enough to make people criticize.

Seeing that Mingyue was obviously angry, Shen Ruan panicked, and hurriedly said innocently: "The women around me can ride horses, I thought that Chu Sanniang's magical powers must also be able to, or ...... Today I let Chu Sanniang? ”

Let's go?

Chu Nian's gaze roughly swept over Mingyue's face, and he was silent, but Mu Qing said as if he had been humiliated: "Let's go?" Shen Erniang's tone is too big, even if Sanniang doesn't know equestrianism, do you think your equestrian skills can compare to me? ”

There was a sigh from the onlookers, Mu Qing was already competitive, which made Shen Ruan's eyes redder and redder with excitement, and with a wave of the horsewhip, he could wipe Shen Ruan's clothes and smash them on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust, which frightened Shen Ruan's horse for a while.

At the same time, not far from the queen mother's imperial court, the queen mother took the tea handed over by a bright woman beside her, took a sip and said: "This young man is together and it is lively." ”

The bright woman just peeled an orange and carefully removed the stem, and then put it in the tray on the side of the queen mother, "It's rare that the bright moon is interested today, and the concubine will let her go, and it's good to be able to smile at the queen mother." ”

The Queen Mother slowly put the orange petals she peeled into her mouth, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "That Mu Qing is also anxious, and he can't stand the provocation, and now that Mingyue is on the field, I think the two of them will lose today." ”

The bright woman smiled, peeled an orange but couldn't stay idle, took a handkerchief and wiped her hands carefully, before turning to touch the queen mother's shoulders, rubbing it lightly and heavily, "Who is next to Mu Niangzi?" How can the queen mother pay so much attention? ”

Hearing this, the Queen Mother's eyes fell on Chu Nian's body, the competition had begun at this moment, Mu Qing and Mingyue were in front, Shen Ruan was a little behind, and finally Chu Nian, the horse under her crotch was kicking its hooves as if walking, and the three people in front of her were almost gone, and Chu Nian didn't mean to be in a hurry.

The Queen Mother didn't answer the words of the bright woman, but just elongated her tone and said, "Concubine Liang, what do you say she is thinking in her heart?" ”

Concubine Liang raised her eyes, looked at Chu Nian, and frowned without a trace, "Xu really doesn't know how to equestrian?" Afraid that the horse will fall off the horse's back if it runs fast? ”

Putting down the tea cup in her hand, the Queen Mother shook her head and said: "You don't know how to ride a horse, you don't understand, the mourning family was a good hand when they were young, and besides, that girl sat on the back of the horse with a calm and relaxed face, like a person who couldn't ride a horse?" ”

When the Queen Mother asked her like this, a trace of doubt flashed on Concubine Liang's face, "Since she is a good horse, why doesn't she fight for her breath, but falls behind and is ridiculed?" ”

As if expecting Concubine Liang's reaction, the Queen Mother closed her mouth and laughed, "The mourning family also wants to know what this girl is thinking in her heart, and whether she can be used by us." ”

Hearing this, Concubine Liang raised her eyes, and her gaze fell on Chu Nian fixedly, thoughtfully.

At this moment, the atmosphere of chasing me in the field was not enthusiastic, Shen Ruan looked at the two people running in front of him steadily, but he was anxious.

This Princess Mingyue seemed to be running directly to the end, even if Mu Qing was chasing closely behind her, she didn't care, Shen Ruan originally thought that if Mingyue got closer to Mu Qing, the two of them would be able to pinch Mu Qing back and forth, and then go back to deal with Chu Nian, but Mingyue ran so far, how could she be pinched?

At this time, Mu Qing in front seemed to notice Shen Ruan's little Jiujiu, and the pace of the horse under his crotch slowed down, bringing Shen Ruan back to his senses, and the horsewhip was already waving heavily on Shen Ruan's horse.

The horse was so frightened that he looked up to the sky and roared, Shen Ruan suddenly fell to the ground suddenly, there had just been an autumn rain, the horse farm was full of mud, a peach-colored beard was suddenly covered with mud, and his face was smashed on the ground, so he was not embarrassed.

When Shen Ruan finally struggled to get up from the mud, and was about to get angry, he turned to Mu Qing with a playful face, "I didn't expect Shen Erniang to like to play with mud." ”

Shen Ruan put it on his chest in one breath, and when he saw Mu Qing's playful appearance like this, he knew that she was deliberately lagging behind to embarrass her, and he suddenly lost his demeanor, and stretched out a mud-stained finger at Mu Qing, "You...... It's too much of a deception! ”

Seeing her funny appearance, Mu Qing immediately sat on the back of the horse and laughed, "Hahaha! Shen Erniang still looks in the mirror first! ”

After that, Mu Qing didn't give Shen Ruan a chance again, and with a wave of the horsewhip, the horse under his crotch rushed out like a shuttle and chased after Mingyue.

Shen Ruan trembled with anger on the spot, fortunately they ran away, there was no one else here except the guards sent by Wang Zixuan to accompany her, otherwise if people saw her make a fool of herself, she would definitely be ashamed to go underground.

At this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind Shen Ruan, it was Chu Nian who rode the horse forward slowly and methodically, passing by Shen Ruan, she raised her eyebrows, waved the horsewhip, the horse sped up, and suddenly the mud on the ground splashed Shen Ruan's body again.

Before Shen Ruan jumped to her feet in anger, she reined in the horse not far away, and looked back at Shen Ruan with a smile, "I didn't expect Shen Erniang to still have Yaxing who plays with mud, but today is Shen Erniang's concession, you fell off the horse, even if the third princess reaches the end, we will win." ”

Seeing Chu Nian say the same, Shen Ruan became more and more angry, she gritted her teeth and was about to get angry, but when she saw Chu Nian turn her head, she walked forward slowly and methodically, and completely ignored it.

Shen Ruan's hands were almost dripping with mud, and his gaze fell on Chu Nian, almost squirting out a knife.

She is the second lady of the Shen family, who has been rampant and domineering in Kyoto for many years, where has she suffered such humiliation? Today, Chu Nian and Mu Qing have been ridiculed one after another! But Mu Qing is just that, what qualifications does Chu Nian have to laugh at her as a waste?

Shen Ruan was so angry that her body trembled, and after a while, she held her cuffs and her eyes lit up.

My brother just gave her a small object for self-defense a few days ago, why did she forget it? Isn't this just where it comes in handy?

I saw her look around and find that the guards had followed Mu Qing and Mingyue, and she suddenly felt happy, raised her arm, aimed at the horse under Chu Nian's crotch, and gritted her teeth.

"Chu Nian! Today, Miss Ben will let you taste the bitterness! ”

As she spoke, she shook her wrist, and suddenly a silver needle flew out, rushing straight towards Chu Nian's horse.

At this moment, Chu Nian was pinching the time in his heart, and at this moment, the horse under his crotch suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared, Chu Nian was able to hug the horse's neck so that it did not fall, and saw that it seemed to be stimulated by something and galloped forward, and it didn't take long to surpass Mu Qing and Mingyue.

Mu Qing looked at Chu Nian's back and looked stunned, and immediately waved his horsewhip as if he realized something, "Chu Nian! Hold on! Blindfold the horse! ”

But at this moment, the horse under Chu Nian's crotch had already jumped up, and the railings around the horse farm obviously lost their effect, and one man and one horse rushed into the dense woods out of control and disappeared.

Mu Qing almost crushed her silver teeth, she glanced back at Mingyue who was surprised behind her, "Go back and call someone!" You win this game! ”

Only then did Mingyue come back to her senses, realized Chu Nian's situation, frowned, and turned around and ran back.

At this moment, Shen Ruan had already calmly returned to the camp tent, fortunately, she was walking around the road, no one saw her in embarrassment, in the tent was Shen Dui, who was unable to participate in the hunt because of her disability, and Liu Qi was sitting opposite Shen Dui, and the two were looking at the chessboard in front of them intently, silent.

Shen Ruan got into the small tent and changed his clothes and washed up, only then he came out triumphantly, looked at Shen Dui, and said with a smile: "Brother, I made Chu Nian deflated today!" She deceived us of five hundred taels of revenge before, and I avenged it! ”

Shen Duhu raised his head suspiciously, "What trouble have you caused again?" ”
