Chapter 32: The Lord of Jianing County

The next day, when Gu Wanchao went to the East Palace, she learned that the emperor rewarded Xiao Yu'an, but when he only needed a pen, she knew in her heart that this talented young man had changed his mind.

"Chaochao, do you think this Xiao Yu'an is stupid, there are so many treasures of his father, but he chose a pen used by his father." Princess Yimeng is really a little confused.

Gu Wanchao chuckled when he heard this, "He's smart, Hui Yuan, who is only eleven years old, can't find a second one from ancient times to the present." ”

She knew the reason why Xiao Yu'an chose a pen, but she just couldn't tell Princess Yimeng.

"This time it's just a try, if he really wins, I believe he's a prodigy. However, I think he is definitely not as good as the prince's brother, if the prince's brother can participate in the imperial examination, I believe that the first place will definitely be the prince's brother. As she spoke, Princess Yimeng shifted the topic to the prince.

With her straightforward praise and proud little expression, anyone with a discerning eye can hear how much she likes her prince brother.

"Yes, yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the most powerful." Princess Yimeng compared the prince with Xiao Yu'an, Gu Wanchao didn't dare to say that Xiao Yu'an was powerful, and she understood the truth that the wall has ears since she was a child.

"All right, Princess, there's an equestrian lesson today. I heard them say that the general who taught equestrianism was fierce and showed no mercy to anyone, so we should hurry to the horse farm so as not to be scolded. Gu Wanchao really didn't want to discuss with Yimeng here about who was more powerful.

Hearing this, Princess Yimeng hurriedly stood up, "Oh, why didn't you say it earlier, what if it's too late." ”

Gu Wanchao looked at Princess Yimeng, who had just looked gentle, and suddenly became frizzy, and she couldn't see half a gentle appearance, she silently said a few words of "sin" in her heart.

In a hurry, they rushed to the horse farm before the arrival of the general who taught them, and at this time, the soldiers were standing in the middle of the horse farm with small brown mares.

After all, the people who learn equestrianism are teenagers, and if the horses are too big, they can't afford to deal with them if something goes wrong.

In the past, Gu Wanchao had learned to ride horses when she was still Murong Zhao, so she didn't care about such things as training equestrianism.

About a quarter of an hour later, the general who taught Xi arrived at the racecourse, and Gu Wanchao suddenly found that the fierce and vicious general who was originally rumored by everyone was actually a young man in his twenties, and his appearance was also very handsome, which was very different from the rumors.

The so-called people can't look like it still makes sense, that is, the next moment, Gu Wanchao had to retract his previous thoughts.

Because one of the prince's companions was late, the general reprimanded him by the throat, and before that was over, he punished the companion for running three laps along the racecourse.

You know, this horse farm is the size of a house, and running along this horse farm is already scary, let alone three laps.

"Look at everything, and if you find it interesting, run with him." The general saw that everyone seemed to be watching a good show, and his expression was playful, and he immediately yelled.

Hearing this, everyone turned their heads and stood honestly, for fear that the next one would be themselves.

"Next, I will teach you the skills of horseback riding, and I will watch and listen to it, and of course I will not stop you from falling off the horse if you want to try it."

As soon as the general's voice fell, he began to demonstrate horseback riding.

After a detailed explanation, everyone was allowed to try to get on the horse, so as not to be in the limelight again, Gu Wanchao had to pretend to be afraid of not being able to ride a horse.

The emperor had rarely had a spare few days, so he thought of going to the East Palace to see the results of his children's learning, and at this time, he was standing above the city gate, looking at the children learning to ride horses in the lower horse farm.

"This girl from the Gu family is a little interesting." The emperor looked at Gu Wanchao's deliberately pretending not to ride a horse, and suddenly said this with a smile.

The grand duke on the side didn't see any clues, so he had to stay by the emperor's side without saying a word.

At first, the general was afraid that they would fall, and each of the horses was led by soldiers, and after two laps around the horse farm, the soldiers gave them the ropes.

"Be careful, kick the horse in the stomach lightly with your foot, don't make the horse angry." The general continued to remind uneasily.

Originally, there was a soldier leading, Gu Wanchao could still pretend that she wouldn't, but now that the soldier let go, she could only tighten the reins and lead the horse to walk on the horse farm.

When the grand duke beside the emperor saw this scene, he understood what the emperor meant, Gu Wanchao looked like this, he obviously knew how to ride a horse, and he rode well.

However, when everyone was slowly controlling the horses to move forward, a tearing horse cry was suddenly heard in the racecourse, and Gu Wan looked at it, only to find that it was Princess Yimeng's horse that was out of control and was rushing towards him.

Gu Wanyan quickly tightened the reins, prompting the horse to turn around, so that he could avoid the horse that collided with him.

"Tighten the reins!" Gu Wanchao shouted at Princess Yimeng on horseback.

But the young Princess Yimeng is at least the first time, she has already been scared to the point of losing her soul, where can she hear Gu Wanchao's reminder.

Seeing this, Gu Wanchao could only rush up to catch up with Princess Yimeng's horse, although she caught up with the horse that was out of control, but she was really small and pitiful now, her hands were small and her arms were short, it was impossible to send herself to Princess Yimeng's horse, she looked a little weak for a while.

The general, who had been paying attention to them, rushed over when he heard this, he brought his horse close to the runaway horse, stretched out his hand and picked up Princess Yimeng from the horse, and stuffed it into Gu Wanchao's horse.

Seeing this, Gu Wanchao hurriedly reached out and grabbed Princess Yimeng, which was able to control Princess Yimeng's falling body.

And the emperor on the castle tower had already turned around and rushed over to the horse farm when he saw Princess Yimeng's horse out of control.

Fortunately, there was a false alarm, Princess Yimeng finally recovered from her fear, Gu Wanchao took the lead in dismounting, and then found a soldier to help Princess Yimeng down.

"Did it hurt?" The emperor finally rushed over, he looked at the frightened Princess Yimeng, and asked worriedly.

"Erchen is fine." Princess Yimeng settled down and said slowly.

"The last general failed to take good care of the princess, it was the last general's dereliction of duty, and I ask Your Majesty to confess." The general knelt before the emperor and asked for a confession.

"Alright. Since the princess is not hurt, let her get up. The Emperor lifted the general up.

Then, the emperor turned his head to look at Gu Wanchao on the side, and remembered that the girl was riding a horse just now, which really looked like Murong Zhao's high-spirited appearance in the past.

"Gu Wanchao went to save the princess in the face of danger today, and he really deserved to be rewarded, so he named Gu Wanchao as the county lord, gave him the title Jianing, and rewarded a box of gold, silver and jewelry."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Wanchao thanked him instinctively in a daze, and was caught off guard by this sudden reward.
