The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

The two went to choose horses. Shangguan Ziling and Yun Youyou rode their horses across the flat grassland. The wind blew up their long hair and long skirts, and their laughter and shouts echoed across the grassland.

Their horses ran very fast, making them feel free and happy.

Shangguan Ziling was wearing a red riding suit, looking unrestrained and chic, with her long hair fluttering in the wind and a happy smile on her face. Her horse had fiery red fur and ran like a ball of fire leaping on the grass, just as free and easy as her master.

Yun Youyou was wearing a white riding suit, with an upright posture and a stern face. Her horse had snow-white fur and galloped with four hooves, like a white cloud floating on the grass.

One in red and the other in white, they ran freely on the grassland, sometimes stopping to admire the scenery, sometimes chasing and playing with each other. Their laughter and cheers echoed on the grassland, making people feel their happiness and freedom.

Shangguan Zirun, who was following from a distance, couldn't help but feel healed by their laughter and was in a good mood.

A fiery red riding uniform, the same as Shangguan Zirun's, blocked Shangguan Ziling's way.

"Shangguan Ziling, if you have the guts, let's have a competition to see who's better at riding."

Shangguan Ziling looked at the woman blocking the way in front of her and raised her eyebrows. Princess Ya'an, according to the original owner's memory, this Princess Ya'an did not get along with the original owner, and was also an arrogant and domineering person who was not easy to mess with, but who was she? Would she be afraid?

"Zi Ling, forget it, let's go over there." Yun Youyou was afraid that the two would get into a fight, so she spoke quickly.

Princess Ya'an said disdainfully: "What? Are you scared? Shangguan Ziling, aren't you very arrogant? Don't let me look down on you."

Shangguan Ziling said calmly: "How do you want to compete? There must be prizes in the competition, right?"

Shangguan Zirun saw something was wrong from afar, so he rode forward on his horse. As soon as he stepped forward, he heard Shangguan Ziling's words and frowned.

"Let's see who can ride faster. What's the prize? What do you want to win?"

"Ten thousand taels of gold".

"Okay, let's bet 10,000 taels of gold, and the loser has to kneel down, kowtow three times and beg for mercy, and loudly say that he is not as good as the other party. How do you think about that?" Princess Ya'an said proudly. She was already imagining the scene of Shangguan Ziling kneeling down, kowtow and begging for mercy after losing. She would definitely win and make Shangguan Ziling look bad.

Shangguan Ziling raised her eyebrows and said, "Sister, that's great. That's what you said."

"No," Shangguan Zirun quickly stopped him, "Zi Ling?"

Shangguan Ziling smiled sweetly at him and said, "Brother, don't worry."

Princess Ya'an rolled her eyes at Shangguan Zirun and said, "As a man, you shouldn't interfere in our affairs."

The news reached the ears of the emperor and his ministers. The emperor had nothing better to do and thought it was interesting to see women competing in horseback riding, especially when it was Princess Ya'an and the prime minister's daughter. He was also curious about who had better riding skills between the two. However, the stakes were a bit...

The emperor and a group of ministers came to watch, and those present saluted and stood up.

The emperor laughed and said: "Interesting, I will also add a prize, whoever wins will be given this colorful dagger by me."

Ya'an's eyes lit up. This colorful dagger was very beautiful and she liked it very much.

Shangguan Ziling was not very interested in this colorful dagger. She already had the colorful dagger that had accompanied her through the ups and downs in modern times. However, her colorful dagger inlaid with seven gems was similar to the emperor's colorful dagger, so she could give it to her brother.

Once the emperor opened his mouth, Shangguan Zirun was unable to stop him. He could only worry for his father who came with the emperor.

Shangguan Dong stepped forward, bowed, and said: "Your Majesty, both of us are women. It would not be a good idea for the loser to kowtow three times and beg for mercy. Why don't we change the bet to something else?"

"This? How about?" The emperor looked at Princess Ya'an and Shangguan Ziling.

"Your Majesty, I would not exchange it for anything else but this one," Ya'an said.

"Ya'an?" Marquis Jijieguo frowned.

Princess Ya'an gave her father a reassuring look.

Ji Jiguo knew his daughter's riding skills and soon felt relieved and stopped talking.

Shangguan Ziling bowed to the emperor leisurely and said: "Since Princess Ya'an insists, then we will not change the bet."

Seeing that the two men didn't care about the bet, the emperor said no more and gave an order to the eunuch beside him.

Shangguan Dong kept winking at Shangguan Ziling, trying to make his daughter change her mind.

Shangguan Ziling just gave him a reassuring and confident smile.

Mo Shaoxie watched from afar. Her confident smile made it seem like she didn't take the competition seriously at all. Was she so confident that she could win? Mo Shaoxie became more and more curious about this woman.

A eunuch was ordered to step forward and stand beside the two of them. With a command, the horse riding competition between Shangguan Ziling and Princess Ya'an on the flat grassland began. The two of them rode their horses at full speed on the vast grassland, and the sound of horse hooves echoed in the air.

After the race started, the two chased each other, and the horses ran very fast, making people feel the perfect combination of speed and strength.

Their horses had different colors. Although both of them were wearing red riding uniforms, Shangguan Ziling's horse was red, while Princess Ya'an's was black, so they were easy to tell apart.

Halfway through the race, Princess Ya'an suddenly accelerated and was ahead of Shangguan Ziling for a distance. But Shangguan Ziling did not give up. She chased after her and kept whipping her horse to make it run faster.

In the sprint, Shangguan Ziling's horse surpassed Princess Ya'an's horse. Princess Ya'an became anxious as she saw Shangguan Ziling surpassing her. She reached for the hidden weapon in her sleeve and shot it at Shangguan Ziling's back.

"Master, be careful."

When the fat boy's voice sounded, Shangguan Ziling also sensed the danger. She leaned back to avoid the hidden weapon and turned her head to look at Princess Ya'an with sharp eyes.

Princess Ya'an was frightened by Shangguan Ziling's aura and her whole body stiffened.

Shangguan Ziling turned around and continued to ride faster. When she crossed the finish line, she looked at Princess Ya'an provocatively.

When Shangguan Ziling successfully crossed the finish line, Shangguan Dong and Shangguan Zirun both breathed a sigh of relief, their faces filled with joy and pride of victory.

Princess Ya'an, who came one step further, had a pale face. She, she actually lost to this evil woman, which made her a little unacceptable. The key point was that she even used a hidden weapon, but she was avoided by her. How hateful! But when she thought of the bet, her face became even paler and uglier.

"Haha, Prime Minister, I didn't expect your daughter to be such a good rider," the emperor laughed.

"Your Majesty praised me immediately. My daughter is just lucky," said Shangguan Dong. In fact, he didn't know that his daughter was such a good rider.

"Reward!" A young eunuch took the colorful dagger and walked over.

Shangguan Ziling took the colorful dagger, saluted and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor waved his hand.

Shangguan Ziling looked back at Princess Ya'an and sneered: "Princess Ya'an, it's your turn to fulfill the bet."

Ji Jiguo glared at Shangguan Ziling, stepped forward and bowed to the emperor, saying: "Your Majesty, these are just jokes from little girls, don't take them seriously."
