Chapter 339: White Snow
Regarding Princess Ankang's question, the eighth prince didn't mean to explain it well, but just said it casually.
Seeing that the eighth prince was reluctant to say more, Princess Ankang was also interested and didn't ask more.
As for the fact that the eighth prince lost his mother like herself, Princess Ankang had long expected it.
Last time, on the last day they left the palace, when they were putting out the lanterns in Ci'en Temple, Princess Ankang actually noticed that the eighth prince that day had the same sad expression as herself.
It's just that Princess Ankang was also confirmed today.
Those concubines in the palace are all their elders no matter how they say, but they unscrupulously attack them with their sad things, which is simply inhumane.
The three princes and Concubine Zhao Shu are all ordinary cruel.
Princess Ankang was full of bad feelings towards these two people at this moment.
Together, they walked back to the Eighth Prince's Escape Courtyard.
It was only when he returned here that the mood of the Eighth Prince recovered.
"Ankang, what do you think of me here?"
Princess Ankang is the first time to come back to this vicinity, and everything is new, so she nodded again and again:
"Is this where starlings live?"
"It's nice to look at."
Speaking of which, the Eighth Prince's Escape Courtyard was also carefully arranged by him.
Although it is not a magnificent style, because of his own small interests can be seen everywhere, it seems to be very individual among the buildings in the palace.
And as the Eighth Emperor came back, a sharp chirp sounded in the courtyard, and with the sound of breaking the air, the Hai Dongqing named Ah Xiang fluttered his wings and landed on the arm of the Eighth Prince.
"Ah Xiang, there is a guest at home today."
"This is Ankang, do you remember her?"
Ah Xiang turned his head to look at Princess Ankang, and after looking at it twice, he turned his gaze to Li Xuan in Princess Ankang's arms.
As a result, after Ah Xiang and Li Xuan glanced at each other, it immediately looked away, then opened its wings, moved its claws, and took two steps on the arm of the Eighth Prince, and distanced itself from Li Xuan as much as possible, and its head was also shrunk in the shoulder socket of the Eighth Prince, learning the appearance of an ostrich.
"Rare, Ah Xiang is actually shy?"
When the eighth prince saw Ah Xiang's reaction, he thought he was shy, and he didn't notice that Ah Xiang's body was trembling slightly.
Between the beasts, sometimes they can judge each other's strength with just one look, unlike the human race, which also needs a hand-in-hand kung fu.
Ah Xiang keenly discovered that the little black cat in Princess Ankang's arms was an existence that he couldn't provoke, so he had his current reaction.
It didn't fly away directly, it was Li Xuan, who was afraid of excitement, reacted and pounced on him directly, so he hid in the shoulder socket of the Eighth Prince.
Princess Ankang and the Eighth Prince were together, and they only thought it was interesting to see Ah Xiang's reaction.
But other people don't know what's going on, can Li Xuanneng not know?
I saw that the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, revealing a smug smile.
"This bird is quite familiar."
Next, the eighth prince took the three little ones to walk around his free courtyard, and then naturally came to the stables.
Originally, the palace could not raise livestock so casually, and the palace had an AMTD bureau dedicated to raising horses, which was responsible for raising horses and the carriage frame in the palace.
For example, the carriage that the three little ones sit in when they go to the Thousand Star Pavilion every month is stored in the AMTD Bureau for maintenance on weekdays, and then the carriage is driven out by a special person when it is used.
I don't know how the Eighth Prince did it, and he actually got a stable in his back garden.
The stables of the eighth prince are not large, there are probably seven or eight horses, and there is a small running track next to the stable, it seems that he runs horses here on weekdays.
"Ankang, let's take a look."
"I can borrow you everything but my black star."
As he spoke, the Eighth Prince led them to his own black star and showed up.
This black star is indeed handsome, with dark hair all over his body, only star-shaped white hair on his forehead, and the vigorous muscles on his body are bulging, full of streamlined beauty.
"My black star can travel thousands of miles a day, a veritable horse of thousands of miles, and every time I hunt, it can help me a lot."
When the eighth prince talked about his love horse, he was obviously interested, bragging about his past achievements in front of his sister.
Princess Ankang listened silently, smiling and nodding from time to time.
The Eighth Prince finally caught such a good audience, and it was even more enjoyable to talk about it.
The three little ones don't know whether it's true or not, they haven't hunted either, except for Li Xuan, Princess Ankang and Yu'er have never ridden a horse, so they can only listen to the Eighth Prince's nonsense.
The eighth prince was hanging over the river for a long time, and then he remembered what was going on, and asked Princess Ankang:
"That's right, Ankang."
"You don't know how to ride a horse, do you?"
He only thought about borrowing a horse for Ankang, but forgot to ask her if she could ride.
Originally, as long as you are a royal heir, after reaching a certain age, there is basically no one who can't ride a horse.
Daxing martial arts, even princesses have to learn martial arts, and horseback riding is even more basic.
But Princess Ankang's situation is a little special, she has been staying in Jingyang Palace, and she has never enjoyed the treatment of a real princess at all.
So everyone else can ride horses, but Princess Ankang really can't.
Princess Ankang shook her head.
Only then did the Eighth Prince realize that there were more important issues to be solved.
Hunting in the Forbidden Garden must be riding, and with his two legs alone, he is tired and exhausted.
"There are still five days left before the start of the autumn hunt, which should be enough for you to learn to ride a horse."
The Eighth Prince said calmly.
But the composure he maintained on his face was actually to let Princess Ankang not feel anxious.
Learning to ride a horse depends on talent, some people learn quickly, and some people learn slowly.
Princess Ankang used to sit in a wheelchair all the year round, and basically didn't have much exercise, so her physical fitness was obviously not strong.
In this case, it may take longer to learn to ride a horse.
But this kind of thing, there is no need for the eighth prince to tell Princess Ankang now.
In five days, if you can learn it, you can learn it, and if you can't learn it, you can't learn it, and then there will be results.
He didn't want to put extra pressure on Princess Ankang, and it would be more conducive to learning to ride a horse if he relaxed.
Princess Ankang also nodded and breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the Eighth Prince say this.
Then she turned her gaze to the other horses.
Although these horses look tall and big, their eyes are shining, and their two little ears will move from time to time, which is very cute.
"How do their ears look like Ah Xuan?"
Princess Ankang covered her mouth and smiled, and touched Li Xuan's ear in her arms.
The Eighth Prince chose one of his own horses to be the most docile and obedient.
This horse is white all over, and although it is half a head shorter than the other horses, it has the highest appearance.
"Ankang, this horse is called Bai Xue, and it is the best horse I can ride here."
"In the next two days, you can use it to learn to ride a horse."
For the arrangement of the eighth prince, Princess Ankang had nothing to do, so she nodded and agreed.
"This horse is really good-eyed."
Li Xuan was secretly surprised in his heart.
Bai Xue's eyelashes are quite upturned, just like in the comics, and those big eyes are even more watery, looking like they can talk.
Even Li Xuan's cat can see that Bai Xue is definitely a stunning beauty among horses.
The eighth prince led Bai Xue, and then came to the side of the runway with the three little ones, intending to officially start teaching Princess Ankang to ride a horse.
"Uh, starling."
Princess Ankang seemed to suddenly remember something.
"Can you lend me another horse?"
"Yu'er, I can't ride a horse."
Princess Ankang pointed to Yu'er on the side.
This autumn hunt can bring a squire and a hunting beast.
In terms of the lineup of Jingyang Palace, the three little ones must be in battle together.
Li Xuan can share a horse with Princess Ankang, but what about Yu'er?
You can't all three little ones huddle together on Bai Xue, then it's a bit of a suspicion of animal cruelty.
Moreover, Bai Xue carried three small ones, and his speed would definitely slow down, which was not conducive to them hunting in the Forbidden Garden.
was reminded by Princess Ankang like this, and the eighth prince also reacted.
Yes, the conditions of Jingyang Palace can't allow Princess Ankang to learn to ride a horse, let alone Yu'er, who is a palace maid.
The Eighth Prince immediately nodded, and ordered someone to fetch a horse from his stable and give it to Yu'er to practice riding.
When everything was ready, the eighth prince began his own meticulous horseback riding instruction.
He started with the action of getting on the horse, carefully taught, and demonstrated in person, explaining why each action was done and what to pay attention to.
Li Xuan watched it for a while, and I have to say that the Eight Emperors Sect is really good, easy to understand, simple and clear, obviously what he said before is not just boasting, he is really a good player.
Only when you understand it thoroughly can you tell a complex thing so concisely.
After the demonstration was completed, the eighth prince dismounted and handed the reins to Princess Ankang.
"Ankang, have you all written down what I just said?"
Princess Ankang and Yu'er nodded in unison.
"Okay, let's give it a try."
The Eighth Prince knew very well that such a thing as riding a horse could only be learned faster by practicing it himself, and no matter how much he listened to the theory, it was more useful than riding two laps himself.
Princess Ankang stood beside Bai Xue, and after taking the reins, she inevitably felt a little nervous, while Li Xuan jumped on Bai Xue's body first, in case there were any accidents.
The Eighth Prince is guarding below, ready to support Princess Ankang at any time.
Horseback riding is a dangerous sport that is likely to hurt you, so when you first learn, you must have someone on your side to protect you.
Princess Ankang first touched the white snow, adjusted her mood, stepped on the pedals of the saddle with one foot, followed the upward movement, and the other leg naturally stepped over, and she rode on the horse easily.
The eighth prince originally thought that he would trust Princess Ankang, but he didn't expect Princess Ankang to be so neat on the horse, and he was stunned in place for a moment.
"Huh, this skill?"
As far as Princess Ankang got on the horse, it was much stronger than when other princesses first learned to ride a horse.
And the next teaching was even more smooth, just a moment of effort, Princess Ankang was already able to ride a horse on the track and run slowly.
Although when riding a horse, Princess Ankang could not rise and fall with the rhythm of the snow to reduce her bumps, but at least she rode steadily and did not fall off the horse.
"Ankang, are you really riding a horse for the first time?"
Even the Eighth Prince couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Of course, the eighth prince can actually see the appearance of a beginner from the first actions of Princess Ankang.
But the problem is that it is not even an hour now, and Princess Ankang has learned this point, how can this not be surprising.
And the eighth prince hasn't taught her yet, so Princess Ankang took the initiative to adjust her sitting posture during the ride to match the rhythm of Bai Xue's running.
If she continues to practice like this, Princess Ankang will even be able to practice the unity of people and horses.
The Eighth Prince also boasted that he was an extraordinary genius, but it took him several days to learn to ride a horse to the same level as the current Princess Ankang.
Comparing these two phases, the original results of the Eighth Prince are not so dazzling.
And just when the Eighth Prince was so stunned, Princess Ankang had gradually increased her speed and ran faster and faster on the runway.
Li Xuan sat steadily in front of Princess Ankang, but he didn't panic at all.
Even if there is a risk of falling from the horse, he is confident that he can save Princess Ankang at a critical moment, so he let Princess Ankang increase his speed with confidence.
With Li Xuan's assurance, Princess Ankang naturally had no worries, and her courage gradually grew.
Horseback riding is like this, the more daring you are, the slower you will become, and when you let go of your guts, you feel that it is nothing.
But Princess Ankang dared to do this because of Li Xuan's protection, and others couldn't learn it.
And Li Xuan also found that Princess Ankang and Bai Xue quickly became familiar with each other, and it seemed that Princess Ankang had a natural affinity for animals.
"White snow, faster, faster!"
Princess Ankang shouted, apparently already in high spirits, wanton and chic.
Looking at Princess Ankang, who was more and more happy the more she rode, the eighth prince was stunned for a while.
In stark contrast, it is Yu'er on the side.
Yu'er is also riding a horse now, but she doesn't dare to add up the speed at all, she only dares to let the horse walk slowly, a pair of long legs clamped tightly, for fear of falling off the horse, looking cautious.
And this is the reaction of ordinary people learning to ride horses.
Of course, Yu'er has learned much faster than ordinary people, after all, she has cultivation, even if she falls off the horse, she can't hurt her at all at this speed.
The Eighth Prince wanted to tell Princess Ankang to slow down, for fear that she would hurt herself, but she couldn't shout out when she opened her mouth several times.
He looked at Princess Ankang galloping on horseback, and for the first time he saw this sister with such a look on her face, he couldn't bear to interrupt.
"Go, bring my black star!"
The eighth prince immediately ordered his attendants to come with him.
Soon, his black star was also brought over.
The eighth prince didn't talk nonsense, and turned over at once.
chased directly to the back of Princess Ankang.
It didn't take much effort, and the Eighth Prince soon caught up with Princess Ankang and went hand in hand with her.
At this distance, the Eighth Prince is confident that even if Princess Ankang has an accident, he can react in time.
And the curiosity of the eighth prince was also aroused, and he wanted to see what Princess Ankang could learn today.
"Ankang, let's compete one by one, and the winner will be determined in three rounds!"
"If you can win me, I'll give you Bai Xue!"
Thank you for the support of Jing Chenyue and Angel Aixiao.
