Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

The Imperial Garden is adjacent to Shanglin Garden.

Shanglinyuan has always raised some good horses, but the number of these horses is small.

But Direza will be his concubine in the future.

Ye Chen will not be stingy with his own people.

Direza was very happy about this.

She couldn't wait to walk forward, flipped over and rode on the horse, unable to suppress the smile on her face.

Although there were great horses in the Western Regions, Dayuan was a small country after all, and the environment was gradually deteriorating. Even as a princess of Dayuan, Direza had few opportunities to own a good horse.

Since the previous dynasty, the entire Central Plains dynasty began to introduce horse breeds from the Western Regions. After years of careful breeding, Dayu's local good horses are not much worse than those in the Western Regions, and are even stronger in some aspects.

Therefore, the horse that Ye Chen gave away was extremely attractive to Direza.

Ye Chen looked at Direza's surprised expression and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

He said to Direza, "Princess Dayuan, I said yesterday that I would ride with you. Will you choose this horse?"

"Ok!"

Direza dismounted, clasped his hands in the manner of the Central Plains people, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ye Chen also glanced at the horses brought up by the imperial guards and chose a horse with black fur and snow-white hooves.

This horse is tall and mighty, full of power, and it is obvious at first glance that it is a rare and excellent horse.

Just when Ye Chen was about to mount the horse, he winked at Cheng En, who immediately understood and asked someone to bring double stirrups.

Ye Chen took the stirrup, walked to his horse calmly, placed the stirrup on the horse's back, then turned over and sat on the horse's back in a cool manner.

Direza also noticed the new stirrups under Ye Chen's crotch. He was a little confused, but didn't care too much.

Although there were not many good horses in Dayuan, she had been able to interact with horses a lot since she was a child, and she didn't think there was much difference whether there were stirrups or not.

While sitting on the horse's back, Ye Chen could clearly feel the comfortable feeling brought to him by the double stirrups.

He gently pulled the reins, and the horse seemed to understand his thoughts and slowly walked towards Direza.

The two walked side by side, like a golden boy and a jade girl.

But Direza gradually increased her speed. Her tall figure complemented the horse perfectly. Her black hair fluttered in the wind, and her blue eyes were smart and wild.

But he was obviously enjoying the thrill of riding.

Ye Chen was calm and watched Direza run out but had no intention of chasing him.

Even though Direza's figure was rushing in the wind, like a flash of lightning breaking through the sky.

Ye Chen just patted the horse's neck lightly, and then followed Direza slowly.

The two men rode their horses one in front and one behind.

Direza rode on the horse's back, his body rising and falling with the horse's gallop, showing off his skillful riding skills.

Her beautiful hair fluttered in the wind and her blue eyes stared straight ahead.

She has absolute confidence in her horsemanship and the speed of her horse.

As Ye Chen watched Direza running faster and faster and farther away, the corners of his mouth began to slowly rise.

He knew very well that his riding skills were far inferior to Direza's.

He had only learned to ride a horse a few days ago, but Direza had been dealing with horses for a long time, perhaps since childhood.

He never thought of competing with Direza in riding skills. What he wanted to compete with her was endurance and persistence.

The double stirrups allow him to better maintain his balance when riding on horseback, his legs will not be overly tired, and he will not feel any discomfort at all, so he can fully perform for a long time.

The Imperial Garden is adjacent to Shanglin Garden, so it is naturally very spacious and large enough for guests to enjoy themselves.

Direza rushed forward like an arrow, her horse's hooves kicking up a cloud of dust.

At the beginning, she looked back from time to time, and when she saw Ye Chen was left far behind, she couldn't help feeling proud.

However, after a stick of incense had passed, Direza's speed gradually slowed down.

The long period of high-speed riding made her legs begin to feel uncomfortable, an indescribable pain, as if countless needles were pricking her legs.

She suddenly pulled the reins, stopped and looked behind her, and found that Ye Chen was very far away from her and could hardly be seen, which made her feel a little proud again.

Then, Direza slowed down, and continued to slow down.

When she realized something was wrong and looked back again, she was surprised to find that Ye Chen was getting closer to her.

At this moment, Ye Chen showed an uninhibited smile on his face, and his eyes showed a calmness and composure.

Seeing this, Direza panicked. She gritted her teeth and squeezed the horse's belly again, trying to speed up and create distance.

However, the horse under her crotch could no longer support such speed and gradually slowed down.

Not long after running, Direza was forced to slow down again.

This time, she turned around suddenly, only to find that Ye Chen was still approaching her, and his speed had not slowed down at all.

She finally started to panic.

She wanted to speed up again, but the bumps on the horse's back made her legs even more uncomfortable.

She was filled with reluctance, and her desire to win made her persist, but only an hour later, Ye Chen caught up with her at a moderate pace.

Then, right before her eyes, he surpassed her.

Just when Direza was unwilling to admit defeat and planned to follow Ye Chen and look for an opportunity to surpass him.

Ye Chen's body shook and suddenly stopped.

Then, Ye Chen fell headfirst onto the soft grass.

Seeing this, Direza was shocked and thought that Ye Chen was just like him and could not stand the shaking of the horse, so he fell down.

She immediately rode forward, but when she got close to Ye Chen, she quickly got off the horse, completely ignoring the intense discomfort between her legs caused by the long-term bumps, and immediately ran towards Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was lying on the ground with his eyes closed. His clothes were in disarray, and the emperor's crown, which symbolized supreme imperial power, had fallen to the side.

Direza ran to Ye Chen. Her black hair was a little loose, with a few strands sticking to her fair cheeks. Her green eyes were full of fear and worry. Her originally beautiful lips were trembling slightly, and her breathing became rapid and disordered under her high nose bridge.

She squatted down hurriedly, and was about to check Ye Chen's condition, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you okay, Your Majesty?"

However, at this moment, Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

There was a playful look in his eyes. He suddenly stretched out his hand and forcefully pulled Direza into his arms.

Direza was caught off guard and suddenly bumped into Ye Chen's arms. Before she could react, Ye Chen hugged her tightly.

At this moment, Ye Chen stared into Direza's eyes, his tone revealing an unquestionable dominance.

"Princess Dayuan, you care about me so much, are you in love with me?"

Hearing this, a blush spread from Direza's cheeks to her ears, like a rose in full bloom.

Her heartbeat suddenly quickened and she felt extremely shy.

Then, she began to struggle, pushing Ye Chen's chest hard with both hands, trying to break free from Ye Chen's arms.

There was a hint of anger on her face.

"Your Majesty, you lied to me. You are so evil."

She felt angry after being deceived.

Ye Chen had no intention of letting her go. His arms were like an iron hoop, tightly wrapped around Direza's slender waist.

Feeling the elasticity of the other person's body.

Looking at Direza's shy and angry look, Ye Chen's eyes were filled with determination and passion, and he said, "I won't let you go. I want you to be my woman forever."

After saying that, he pressed down with a domineering posture.

In an instant, Direza felt an irresistible force enveloping her. She had never been so close to a strange man. She could clearly feel the strong masculine scent coming towards her, making her feel completely controlled and conquered.

She couldn't help but feel powerless no matter how hard she struggled. Besides anger, there was also a hint of shyness in her eyes.

"what!"

Soon, Direza grabbed Ye Chen's back tightly and cried out in pain.
