I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight
Chapter 164 Dismount
While Su Minglang was having a meal, Xiao Ye went to the horse farm early to take care of everything. As soon as Su Minglang finished his breakfast and took a cup of tea, he took Xiao Ye and Nanxing to the horse farm.
The guards at the stables had been standing there early with a tall white horse. As soon as they saw Su Minglang, they led the horse to greet him.
"Greetings, Empress Zhaoyi." Just as the guard was about to kneel down to salute, Su Minglang waved his hand to dissuade him and turned his gaze to the girl he was holding.
The guard felt Su Minglang's gaze and pointed at the horse and said, "Empress Zhaoyi, this horse is called Luoqi. It is a high-quality horse sent as tribute from the Western Regions, and it has a relatively gentle temperament."
"Yeah." Su Minglang nodded, walked to the side of the horse, patted its neck skillfully and exclaimed: "Good horse!"
She stroked the horse's mane for a while, and seeing that the horse was indeed quiet and not at all restless, she completely put her worries to rest.
The guards had already placed the horse stool, but Su Minglang did not use it. Instead, he stepped on the stirrup and jumped up and landed steadily on the horse. The horse paced twice on the spot, and soon got used to the stranger on its back, and stood quietly there again.
The guard breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Su Minglang clearly knew how to ride a horse. You know, this job is not easy. Although horses are smart, they are still animals after all. If one of them suddenly explodes and injures an important person, he would not be able to chop off enough heads even if he had ten.
Su Minglang pulled the reins to adapt to the feeling on the horse's back, then he squeezed his feet lightly and the horse suddenly started moving. The person on the horse's back swayed a little with the horse's movement, which frightened Xiaoye, who was staring at him intently, afraid that something might happen.
"Okay, I've adapted to it, so I won't bother you anymore. Go back and get busy."
Su Minglang waved her hand to signal the guard to leave. The guard looked at her worriedly and nodded to leave. However, after he went back, he stood far away and still watched the situation here from time to time.
Su Minglang first rode his horse slowly around the horse farm before slowly increasing the speed. However, the horse farm was limited in size and he couldn't ride too fast. Su Minglang was also afraid that he would lose control if he sped up, so he adjusted the speed to a suitable speed and began to ride around in circles.
Nanxing followed and watched her riding with interest. Xiaoye nervously grabbed Nanxing's sleeve tightly, as if Su Minglang was riding not a horse but a sword.
Until she completely adapted to the feeling of being on horseback, she felt a little tired. However, getting off the horse was not as graceful as getting on. Su Minglang lifted her hips and found that her legs were extremely sore. She pushed the stirrup with one foot with all her strength, and finally jumped over the horse's back but could not land on the ground. Finally, with the protection of Xiaoye and Nanxing, she mustered up the courage to jump down.
But what the guard said was indeed credible. Even after all the torment, the horse did not make any big movements from beginning to end. But even a small movement like pacing twice could make her break into a cold sweat.
The moment Su Minglang got down to the ground, he almost fell to his knees. With the help of two people, he managed to stand steady. When he looked up, he saw the man staring at the horse with an eager look, and he couldn't help laughing.
"Go and try it, both of you." Su Minglang smiled and pushed away Xiaoye's hand that was supporting him. After standing for a while, his legs gradually regained feeling. "Normally, you don't get this kind of treatment in the palace. Come and try it."
"Nanxing, have you ever ridden a horse?" Su Minglang asked.
"No!" Nan Xing answered sincerely. As soon as she got permission, she walked closer impatiently. She imitated Su Minglang's actions just now. She first patted the horse's head gently, then touched it twice, and then jumped up and landed on the horse's back. However, it was her first time to ride a horse and she was not as steady as Su Minglang.
However, Nanxing grew up in the mountains after all, so she quickly adapted to the feeling of being on horseback. She rode the horse slowly around, and when she came back, she jumped off the horse excitedly, which frightened Su Minglang.
"Slow down!" Xiao Ye said dissatisfiedly. Before she finished speaking, she saw that both of them were looking at her. She understood their intentions in an instant and waved her hands hurriedly, saying, "No, no! I really can't!"
"Your Majesty, you know that I am afraid of heights!" Xiao Ye cast a pleading look at Su Minglang.
Su Minglang looked away and pretended not to see it. She waved to the guards standing in the distance and asked for a stool to be placed beside her. She said to Xiaoye, "Don't be afraid. It's just a try. If you are really scared, get off."
"That's right! Don't worry, Sister Xiaoye. If you fall, I will catch you!"
Su Minglang held her forehead with her hand helplessly. Why did the two people around her speak so harshly and didn't they know how to be cautious?
"But..." Xiao Ye looked at Su Minglang and then at the horse, gritted her teeth and stood on the horse stool. However, even after standing on the horse stool, the horse's back was still very high for her. She had seen Su Minglang riding a horse, but she was very timid at that time and did not dare to try. She did not expect that after going around in circles, she still could not escape.
After finally getting the person onto the horse's back, Xiao Ye grabbed the reins tightly and hugged the horse's neck tightly, not daring to let go. Su Minglang was afraid that she would be stimulated and kick the horse's belly, so he could only comfort her hurriedly.
But Xiaoye was so frightened at this moment that he almost curled himself up into a ball and never moved again.
"What's going on here?"
A familiar voice came from not far away. Su Minglang turned around and saw Li Zhao striding towards him, but there was a less familiar person following behind him.
Su Minglang recognized the person at a glance. It was the son of Yueyang Marquis. Perhaps the competition at the homework banquet made the two of them feel a sense of mutual admiration, which is why they are hanging out together today.
Su Minglang didn't know why he used the word "hanging out", perhaps it was because Li Zhao had always had an unreliable image.
"Lord Li?" Su Minglang paused and continued, "Is this the Crown Prince?"
"Your Majesty has a good memory!" The Prince of Yueyang Marquis did not know Su Minglang. He had only seen her twice and knew that she was a concubine of unknown rank beside the emperor.
"Your Highness, from afar, I noticed that this side seems to be in some trouble. I wonder if I can serve Your Majesty?" Li Zhao said calmly, in an official manner.
"It's not a big deal." Su Minglang pointed at Xiaoye who was lying on the horse's back and said, "My maid can't get off. We are trying to find a solution."
"This..." Li Zhao and the prince looked at each other, and both saw helplessness in each other's eyes. If it was a man, it would be fine, but the person on the horse was a woman. Even if she was a palace maid, she was still a woman. In this era where women's chastity was most important, let alone carrying her down, even touching her hand was against the rules.
