Because of this incident, for the next few days, the Mongolian princesses kept their heads down and stayed indoors except for paying respects to Concubine Pang. Madam Pang commented on this: "Finally, my ears are a little quieter."
Everyone knew what she meant and couldn't help laughing.
It was not until the ninth day of the hunting that Emperor Yuanfeng was going to go hunting personally with the Mongolian king, the leaders of several other tribes, and civil and military officials. Everyone went to join in the fun, and they saw Princess Dona and Princess Duoya in riding clothes again. This time they were much more obedient in front of Concubine Pang. They saluted obediently and stood aside, not daring to provoke her again.
Concubine Pang's attitude was always indifferent. After Emperor Yuanfeng and his men set off, she smiled and told everyone to go and play on their own: "It's not easy to come here. If you want to ride horses or hunt, go ahead. Don't gather around me. We came out to play in the first place."
The women also liked horse riding and hunting. Princess Yongning was the first to laugh: "Yes, yes, since we are all here, we must get something. The younger ones have shown their faces. They hunted leopards and brought them back, which made us all happy. You elders should stop hiding and show your abilities. It doesn't have to be tigers or leopards. It's also good to hunt something you like."
Compared with Princess Mingchang, Princess Yongning was the one with a gentler temperament. As soon as she spoke, the female relatives all laughed and agreed with her. They immediately said goodbye in groups of three or four and went out to play.
Princess Dona and Princess Duoya stayed behind. When they saw Princess Eleven talking to Su Yao and Concubine Pang for a while and about to leave, they looked at each other and hurried to meet them.
The eleventh princess turned around and saw them and couldn't help but frowning. She asked in a bad tone, "Why, you didn't compete enough last time, do you want to compete again?"
But how dare they talk about the competition again this time? She shook her head hastily, bit her lip and apologized to Princess Eleven.
Princess Eleven snorted coldly and said nothing more. She just turned around and said to Su Yao, "Although Ana is not a good person, these two are also accomplices to the evil. Now that Ana is in trouble, they know they are powerful and turn around to seek peace. I don't like such people."
The Eleventh Princess was not wrong. She now knew how to judge people. Su Yao did not say much and just nodded.
The eleventh princess wanted to take her to a horse race: "Your horsemanship is really good. Even my mother said that being able to ride a horse even when it is frightened and mad is something that only a few men can do. Can you teach me how to ride a horse?"
In fact, Su Yao really doesn't have any secret. In her previous life, in order to learn how to ride a horse, she practiced so much that there was no healthy meat on the roots of her thighs. Until she was on the verge of death, the scars from riding had not disappeared. If there is any secret, it is just to risk her life.
So let alone teach the Eleventh Princess, she thought about it, and told the Eleventh Princess honestly: "I grew up outside when I was a child. Many people in the northwest can ride horses. I like it very much, so I have been riding on horseback since I was a child. There is no secret, it's just because I am not afraid of pain. When I was a child, I fell and lay in bed for more than half a year..."
Princess Eleven couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder mother said that you are a ruthless person and will succeed no matter what you do. I understand what she means. Then let's go for a run. I'll try out your new Arabian horse."
Su Yao agreed with a smile.
But they waited on the field for a long time, but no one brought the Arabian horse up.
Princess Dona and Princess Duoya were already ready. They were told by their families to come here to have a good relationship with the princess of Da Zhou, so they naturally could not leave them behind, so they came over and asked them why they had not set off yet.
Although the eleventh princess didn't like them, she still had to save face in such an occasion, so she frowned and said, "Yaoyao's Ferghana horse hasn't been brought up yet."
In this kind of situation, they must ride the newly-received BMW, so Princess Dona said something to make conversation: "I heard that the Ferghana horses recognize their masters, but perhaps they are too stubborn and the people below have not tamed them yet."
Xianning County Lady and Li Jinniang also changed their clothes and rushed over. They just heard this, but before they could say anything, they saw several eunuchs running over breathlessly, saying with pale faces: "Your Highness! County Lady, this... is not good... that horse, that horse is not doing well!"
Everyone was stunned, looking at each other, no one reacted.
Su Yao was also stunned, then he suddenly raised his eyelids and looked at them: "What do you mean by no longer possible?"
The eunuchs in charge of watching over the horses were so anxious that they almost cried. The leader stamped his feet, with a look of regret, annoyance and fear on his face: "I... I can't explain it clearly, Your Highness, you guys go and take a look!"
Princess Eleven immediately said, "Go and have a look!"
Su Yao followed closely behind. She liked the horse at first sight. Although she didn't care about any reward, since something was given to her, it was hers. Since the horse suddenly became ill, of course she wanted to find out what was going on.
Princess Dona poked Princess Doya next to her from behind and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Princess Duoya also shook her head blankly.
The two followed them to the place where the horses were kept, and at a glance they saw Su Yao's horse lying on the ground.
A eunuch came running over to explain to Su Yao and the Eleventh Princess: "It was fine this morning, and we fed it and gave it water. I don't know why, but it suddenly couldn't stand up and fell to the ground, gasping for breath and shedding tears..."
Princess Eleven exclaimed: "It's really crying!"
Tears as big as beans fell from the horse's eyes. It was panting, and its belly swelled up as if it was blown up, and soon it was very big.
The girls from Da Zhou couldn't help but shrink back in fear.
Su Yao hurried forward and squatted down. Seeing that the horse's belly was swelling rapidly, he asked hurriedly, "Has anyone from the Imperial Household Department come?"
Seeing that she was not afraid, the eunuch felt relieved and nodded, "Go and invite her!"
The eleventh princess was very anxious. She looked around and saw an official in official uniform running towards her. She immediately asked, "Is that him?!"
The eunuch was sweating profusely from anxiety. He looked in the direction she was looking and immediately showed joy on his face: "Yes, yes, yes! It's Master Chu, it's Master Chu who is here!"
Chu Changyuan of Taipu Temple has always been in charge of horses and knows them very well.
Seeing him running towards him, the eunuch finally showed joy on his face: "Lord Chu is very knowledgeable about horses. If he comes, he will definitely know why the horse behaved like this!"
