The next day, the emperor was in high spirits. After the morning court session, he arranged for people to go to the horse farm to watch Shen Zhiyao and Zhu Baolin compete.

Shen Zhiyao secretly laughed in his heart. The emperor was also a person who loved to watch the fun and no matter how big the event, he was the biggest "troublemaker" in the palace.

The Queen arranged for Concubine Lu to accompany Shen Zhiyao so that she could have some help.

Zhu Baolin was wearing a dazzling riding suit today. The collar and cuffs were trimmed with precious gold silk, adding a touch of elegance and luxury to his temperament.

She had delicate and rich makeup on her face, and she looked refreshed.

Zhu Baolin's eyes today are particularly confident and proud. When it comes to the field she is best at, everything should be under her control.

"Master, I have brought all the horse ornaments that the master specially sent us. I will put them on the horse you are most familiar with later. I can't wait to admire the miserable look of Jin Wanyi when she falls under your skirt!" said the personal maid with a sinister smile.

"Of course. Today I will not only surpass her in riding and archery, but also in beauty!" Zhu Baolin said proudly.

This is how people are. When they are faced with areas they are good at, they become full of confidence.

"Of course. My lady is top notch in both appearance and riding and archery skills. How can Jin Wanyi compare with you?" Zhi Lian said with a flattering smile.

The two of them rushed to the racecourse while fantasizing like winners.

In Cuiweixuan, Shen Zhiyao had already packed up and was walking towards the horse farm with Qiuyue, Chuan and others.

The queen had secretly transported the saddle and stirrups to the stable that morning, and under the supervision of Chang Qi, they were put on the back of a chestnut horse that was fostered in the queen's name.

Concubine Lu was waiting for her on the road. She saw her from afar and although they were both women, she was still so stunning that she couldn't take her eyes off.

Shen Zhiyao's outfit today was extremely heroic, she was wearing a crimson riding suit, but it was different from the common styles in the palace and had obviously been modified. The tight-fitting style appropriately outlined her graceful figure, and the golden belt around her waist cleverly outlined her slender waist.

Her eyebrows are slender and powerful like those of distant mountains. She deliberately drew the eyeliner at the corners of her eyes slightly upward, making her peach blossom eyes look more confident and sharp than usual.

Lady Lu studied it for a long time, but she had no idea what kind of lip balm she used to make her lips look so full and attractive.

"Sorry to have kept Sister Lu waiting for so long!" Shen Zhiyao apologized.

Lu Cairen finally came back to her senses and couldn't help but blush as she sincerely praised him: "Sister, you are right, I didn't wait long anyway. Sister is really good at dressing up, so beautiful and cool!"

Shen Zhiyao was delighted by her praise and said with a smile, "Sister, you are too kind. When I have time, I will help you dress up and change your style. You will definitely look stunning."

"Okay, then I'll be waiting for my sister. Let's go to the horse farm quickly, it would be bad if we are late." Concubine Lu said with a smile.

I just feel that every time I see Shen Zhiyao, she makes me extra happy.

"Okay, let's go." After Shen Zhiyao said this, she happily walked towards the horse farm side by side with Concubine Lu.

The horse racing field in the harem was particularly busy today. In addition to the people who came last time, there were even more people who came to watch the fun, and of course, there were also those who wanted to show their face in front of the emperor.

Shen Zhiyao was standing beside the queen at this time, with a bright and charming smile on her face. Her beauty was different from the queen's nobility and was extremely aggressive.

In fact, the young men at the scene had long been attracted by Shen Zhiyao's heroic demeanor, but they did not dare to show it. They could only glance at her secretly, already full of admiration in their hearts.

Naturally, Bo Muxi was also deeply attracted by her dazzling outfit. His eyes would linger on her from time to time, full of admiration.

In order to promote the open-mindedness of the Chinese people, Bo Muxi did not mind showing off the unique charm of his concubine. Such an attractive and contagious woman could only be admired from afar by others, and only he, the emperor, could possess her.

This feeling alone was enough to make Bo Muxi feel completely refreshed.

Zhu Baolin was furious to see that she was dressed so beautifully and heroically that her outfit completely overshadowed his own and that she also received so much attention from the emperor.

Zhi Lian hurriedly whispered to comfort him, "Humph, what's the point of dressing up like a peacock? This is not a beauty contest. My lady, come on, beat her up and see if she can still smile!"

"Hmph!" Zhu Baolin snorted coldly. Although he did not answer, he had already made up his mind that he would make Shen Zhiyao too embarrassed to laugh again!

Zhu Cheng stood in the distance with a calm expression, looking at Shen Zhiyao coldly. He was naturally aware of his daughter's strength and was just waiting to see Jin Wanyi get humiliated.

"My two beloved concubines, are you ready?" Bo Muxi asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, we are all ready." Shen Zhiyao and Zhu Baolin responded in unison.

"Well. My two beloved concubines can choose horses at will later. If you like my horses, just ride them." Bo Muxi laughed heartily.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty." The two of them thanked in unison again.

Of course, they had already chosen their favorite horses and even equipped themselves with accessories, just waiting to "tear each other apart".

"Now that everything is ready, let's start." Bo Muxi waved his hand.

Everyone watched as Shen Zhiyao and Zhu Baolin walked into the luxurious enclosed stable one after another to make the final preparations, with faces full of looks of anticipation for a show.

Zhu Baolin was obviously more familiar with the process. Once she was ready, she did not wait for Shen Zhiyao and went out alone, trying to leave a good impression on the emperor.

She rode leisurely on the horse's back, and occasionally performed some difficult balancing moves, which drew cheers from the crowd.

Zhu Baolin performed very hard on the court, and he was also busy off the court as everyone was discussing the winning rate intensely.

"An expert can tell whether a person is good or not with just one move. Look at Zhu Baolin's skills, she is indeed extraordinary. Among women, there are probably few who can match her!" A minister with a pretty appearance whispered.

"Of course. Horseback kung fu can't fool people. Riding and archery can't be mastered overnight. They require hard practice day and night. Ordinary people can't understand the hardship involved!" said a lieutenant general next to him proudly.

"General Zhang is right. In your opinion, which lady has a greater chance of winning?" another person asked with a smile.

"I think that Zhu Baolin has an extraordinary figure and judging from her skills, she is a serious martial artist. I am optimistic about her!" The lieutenant general said with a proud smile.

Bo Muxi naturally heard some of the discussions. He shook his head, turned around and asked the queen sitting beside him with a smile: "Who do you think will win?"

The queen smiled sweetly and said without hesitation: "I think Jin Wanyi will win."

Bo Muxi shook his head and said jokingly, "You have always been partial."

In Bo Muxi's opinion, Zhu Baolin had practiced riding and archery since childhood. For a woman like Shen Zhiyao who changed her career late, unless Zhu Baolin was extremely lucky and made a big mistake, she was doomed to lose.

When the queen heard this, she just looked at the emperor and smiled, and did not explain any more.

Zhu Baolin was feeling proud when she heard exclamations from the audience. She thought it was because of a difficult horseback movement she had just performed, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, because when she was standing still, the exclamations increased.

Zhu Baolin quickly turned around and looked towards the stable. This sight made her gasp in shock!

Shen Zhiyao was seen riding a majestic chestnut horse, but the accessories on the horse were a bit "strange".

On the horse's back was something that no one had ever seen before, in the shape of a "high bridge", similar to a horse mat, which held Shen Zhiyao steadily on the horse, and looked very comfortable.

The beauty-loving Shen Zhiyao thought the monotonous saddle was unsightly, so she worked on it herself last night and inlaid some exquisite gold foil and jewels on the surface of the saddle for decoration. At this time, these decorations were sparkling in the sun, making it even more eye-catching.

The edges of the saddle are carefully wrapped with soft leather to protect the horse's back and rider from injury.

What made everyone even more astonished was the pair of metal oval rings on both sides of the horse's body. They were like two solid fulcrums, firmly supporting Shen Zhiyao's feet.

The surface of this pair of metal oval rings is polished as smooth as a mirror, with animal patterns faintly emerging on them.

The horse that Shen Zhiyao was riding took every step firmly and powerfully under her control. This set of accessories seemed like a totem tattooed on the horse, making it seem like the rider and the horse were in perfect harmony, and at the same time, highlighting the horse's domineering nature.

This scene made Bo Muxi, the ministers and concubines dumbfounded and exclaim in amazement.

Not to mention them, even Zhu Cheng, who had been through hundreds of battles and had spent half his life in military service, had never seen the accessories on this horse.

Suddenly, Zhu Cheng realized it before others!

"It's crazy... It's crazy... This is cheating! This is nothing!" Zhu Cheng sighed.
