After changing into their riding clothes, the two walked out together, and happened to meet Prince Jin and Qi Lang waiting outside.
Seeing the little girl in a light pink riding outfit, who was different from Princess Anyang, more like a child who had secretly worn an adult's clothes, Qi Lang couldn't hide his smile and just felt cute.
Shen Ying has never looked away from Qi Lang since she saw him. Unfortunately, the other person only looked at Gu Mingmou. Even though she looked a bit funny wearing her own clothes, she still didn't have the slightest dislike. Shen Ying gritted her teeth and looked at Gu Mingmou. When Qi Lang turned his head, he looked away in embarrassment.
Qi Lang naturally didn't notice the other party's eyes, so he just pretended not to know, and said to her with a smile: "Tongtong is not good at riding, and I will have to trouble the princess to take care of her later."
Shen Ying's ears turned red and she whispered: "It's not troublesome. Miss Gu and I hit it off immediately, and I will definitely take good care of her."
Qi Lang didn't say anything else. After enduring it for a while, he raised his hand to rub Gu Mingmou's slightly bulging cheeks and said softly: "Tongtong, please don't run around for a while, you know?"
Gu Ming's eyes curled up as he smiled, "I understand, Brother Qi, don't worry about me."
"Let's go." Prince Jin led the way, and they went to the third prince's place together. Gu Mingmou followed Shen Ying to the smaller venue circled on the other side.
When the two of them got there, several female family members had already come out leading horses. When they saw Shen Ying coming, they hurried to greet her. Shen Ying greeted them politely and took Gu Mingmou to choose horses.
Shen Ying had already chosen her horse, and now she was accompanying Gu Mingmou to choose it. Gu Mingmou knew that her skills were not very good, so she listened to her recommendation and chose a dark red pony. She also took the candy and fed it several times as she said. The pony rubbed it on her hand. He paused and followed her pacing.
Not long after the two left with the horses, the steward of the racecourse hurriedly brought someone over. After a round of inspection, he suddenly frowned and said, "Where is the "Fire Manluo" that was just delivered a few days ago?"
"Someone came to pick a horse just now. Maybe it was picked as a pony." Someone under his command responded.
When the steward heard this, his face became even more ugly, and he shouted angrily: "Didn't I tell you a long time ago that the horse has not been trained well and is not allowed to be picked out? Who brought it out?"
The stable boy who was just waiting for the horse candidates pinched the silver ingot in his sleeve and lowered his head.
He didn't say a word at first.
The steward was still angry here, but Gu Mingmou had already mounted the horse with the help of Shen Ying. It's not that she doesn't know how to ride a horse, but if someone is willing to teach her, she won't be disappointed.
Although this pony is short, it runs very fast. Shen Ying was still in front at first, but after two laps, the pony she was riding suddenly sped up and rushed out.
Gu Mingmou was startled and hurriedly pulled the reins, but the horse showed no intention of stopping and instead kicked.
Seeing that the horse was out of control, Gu Mingmou couldn't care about anything else. He could only hold the horse's belly tightly, holding the reins in one hand and lying on the horse's back, letting it lead him around and around.
The female family members present were all startled by this turn of events, and screams could not be heard. Only Shen Ying sat upright on the horse, looking at the embarrassed and pale Gu Ming on the horse, and raised her lips and smiled.
It was only then that the steward of the racecourse hurried over with his people. Seeing that Gu Mingmou was in a bad situation, as if he could fall off his horse, he picked up a horse and chased after him without saying a word.
Xiuyue, who had been standing on the outside of the fence, had a tense face, holding on to the railing with one hand, staring intently at Gu Mingmu who was lying on the horse.
Standing next to her, the tall woman suddenly said, "Miss, everything will be fine."
Xiuyue turned her head when she heard this and glared at her fiercely, "If anything happens to the lady, I will risk my life not to let you have a better life!"
The woman was silent. Although Xiuyue's threat seemed ridiculous to her, she was not willing to provoke him at the moment.
Seeing the horse in charge gradually chasing after him, he seemed to be yelling something at Gu Mingmou. It was not known whether Gu Mingmou didn't hear it and didn't react in any way.
Shen Ying watched this scene with interest, patted the horse's neck gently, and smiled meaningfully.
She did not intend to kill anyone. Although the horse had a fierce temper, it was just a pony after all. She just wanted to scare Gu Mingmou. Of course, if the steward was willing to help her save the person, she would naturally be grateful. of.
After all, he is a hero saving a beauty, and I don’t know how the Gu family will keep everyone quiet in the future.
Seeing the steward of the racecourse finally jumping onto Gu Mingmou's horse, Shen Ying lowered her eyes. Just as she was about to dismount, she felt unsteady beneath her body. The horse that was pacing in place was suddenly frightened by something.
He rushed straight out of the crowd. With everyone stunned, he jumped over the fence and rushed into the surrounding woods.
Gu Mingmou's foot touched the ground when he saw Xiuyue rushing forward, "Girl, are you injured anywhere?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine." After comforting Xiuyue for a while, she turned around and saluted the steward, "Thank you for your help."
"Girl, don't worry about the little things. This horse 'Fire Manro' hasn't been tamed yet and shouldn't have been released. It's my fault for putting the girl in danger. It's my fault that I should apologize to you." The steward said. He bowed in return.
Gu Mingmou stood up and had the opportunity to see the other person's appearance clearly. Hearing his hoarse voice, he thought he was a middle-aged man. Who knew that this man was unexpectedly young, looking like he was only in his early twenties.
However, the right half of the cheek seemed to have been stabbed by something, leaving a long scar, which made the originally not handsome face a bit scary.
Gu Mingmou missed his gaze and thanked him again and again.
Because something happened to Shen Ying, the steward didn't say much, nodded to her and left in a hurry. It's his unlucky thing too. After today, it's hard to say whether he can still hold on to his position in charge.
But what he just said was quite interesting. It turned out that the horse he chose was not well tamed. This time she is lucky, will she break her neck next time
On the huge racecourse, several horses were galloping in the wind, with the fiery red fire-walking unicorn horse far ahead. The man on the horse had long hair flying in the wind, and there was an unstoppable arrogance between his brows.
After passing the finish line, the horse's speed gradually slowed down. Qi Lang turned over and dismounted neatly, followed closely by Prince Jin, who was second.
The third prince walked over with a smile on his face and said, "Prince Yongning's riding skills are indeed superb."
"Your Highness praised Miao, my riding skills are as good as those of the young prince, but I just take advantage of the horse."
The Crown Prince of Jin who had just walked over softened his expression a little after hearing these words, and thought to himself that Qi Lang was indeed good, and he was worthy of his sister regardless of his family background. He could mention it to his father someday.
As for Gu Mingmou, Shen An didn't take it to heart from beginning to end, so even though he knew his sister's little plan, he still let it go.
After all, no one will be killed, it's just a lesson to the other party, it's not a big deal.
