After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

Sun Haining came on the court.

The stands were full of people.

On the horse racing track, a dozen girls were ready to show off their talents.

Sun Huanzhi was not worried about Sun Haining's riding skills, but riding was a dangerous activity, and he would not feel at ease if he was not here to watch over him.

Yuan Wanru stood not far from him, and their eyes were all focused on Sun Haining.

This was the first time Yuan Wanru had witnessed the ancient women's horse racing. She was a little excited. "Will Haining win?"

Sun Huanzhi glanced at the women on the field. He recognized most of them. "At the moment, it seems that there are two opponents who are equally matched with her. If she wants to compete for the top spot, we can only say that it depends on her own ability and leave it to fate."

With the sound of drums, the competition began.

They first have to run around the racecourse, then shoot arrows at targets in the second lap, and then jump over obstacles in the third lap.

Whoever completes these actions first wins.

More than a dozen horses are galloping in the spacious horse farm, and the noise of people is bustling. It is really exciting to be in it.

She stared at the situation in the carriage and found that what Sun Huanzhi said was right. There were two or three people who were fighting closely with Sun Haining.

Sun Huanzhi found it a little funny to see her holding the handkerchief tightly and staring at Sun Haining without blinking.

These two people have obviously not known each other for long, but now they seem like close friends.

"Have you heard Haining mention that he wants to join the army?"

Sun Huanzhi suddenly asked a question, but the noise around him was so loud that Yuan Wanru almost didn't hear it clearly.

"I mentioned it before. She said that you all disagreed, but she didn't want to get married. She just wanted to be a female general."

Sun Huanzhi's face turned grave. "Yes, we all disagree."

"This girl has been wild since she was young. My mother has always disapproved of her learning martial arts, but she secretly followed her and didn't give up even after a year of study."

"My grandfather saw how determined she was and persuaded my mother, and she finally agreed to let her learn martial arts."

"In the coldest winter and hottest summer, she never complained."

"As she grew older, my mother started looking for a future husband for her, but she never agreed. Because of this, my mother became sick with anger."

"You are a woman and her good friend. Do you think you would support her if you were me?"

Yuan Wanru didn't expect that Sun Huanzhi would ask her such a heavy question.

In fact, Sun Haining really mentioned this matter to her.

The main reason why she followed Sun Huanzhi back to her hometown was to avoid marriage.

However, because of what she did, Mrs. Sun fell ill for a long time.

After returning to Beijing this time, she was very sad and felt that she was unfilial.

She remembered that when Sun Haining talked about this incident, his expression was rare with frustration and unwillingness.

"I just don't understand. My skills are no worse than those of the men in the army. Why can't I go?"

"Are women only allowed to marry and have children? Then what's the point of all my years of hard study and training?"

Yuan Wanru felt depressed when she thought of this.

She asked Sun Huanzhi: "Prince Sun, I am not you, so I don't know whether you will support her or not."

"I want to ask you two questions. How does Haining compare to the generals in the army?"

"If she were a man instead of a woman, would you agree to her joining the army given her martial arts skills?"

Sun Huanzhi said without hesitation: "I will agree."

In terms of physical fitness, my sister is not weak.

What's more, she was literate and had read military books. Sometimes, when the two of them talked about the marching tactics of some battles, her opinions were quite commendable.

In fact, Sun Huanzhi still felt very regretful in his heart. It would be great if she was not a sister but a brother.

Yuan Wanru said solemnly: "If that's the case, then it's your Sun family who has bound her."

"She should have been a female general galloping across the battlefield, but you forced her to be a good wife and mother trapped in the inner chambers. She simply doesn't want that."

“A lifetime can be very long or very short.”

"Prince Sun, if you were to be unable to use your power for the rest of your life and could only live in a muddle-headed state, would you really be happy?"

"Even if I live a hundred years, even if I hold a high position and receive generous salary."

"If you don't want this, then Haining doesn't want to live her life according to your ideas."

"I'm an outsider. If you don't ask today, I can't say anything."

"But I sincerely hope that you can respect her thoughts and not confine her life in the name of love."

"Is this kind of love true love?"

Sun Huanzhi looked into her calm eyes and couldn't help but ask, "If you were Haining, what would you do?"

Yuan Wanru smiled with an exceptionally resolute smile: "My choice, like hers, follows my heart."

Sun Huanzhi's eyes darkened.

-

When Lu Jiangnian rushed over, he happened to see this scene.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that the smile on Yuan Wanru's face was too glaring.

How can you smile so beautifully at another man?

He pursed his lips and strode towards the stands: "What are you talking about?"

Sun Huanzhi turned around and met Lu Jiangnian's deep gaze, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Nothing."

"Why are you here free?"

Lu Jiangnian is different from him. During this trip to the palace, he is responsible for the emperor's safety and is often too busy to spare time.

Yuan Wanru's eyes also showed a look of surprise: "Yeah, how come you are free today?"

After Lu Jiangnian approached, he stood next to Yuan Wanru, very close to her.

"I happened to have some free time, so I came over to take a look. I just saw you guys were chatting happily. What did you talk about?"

His gaze fell on Yuan Wanru's charming face, not missing a single expression on her face.

Yuan Wanru felt that his mood was a little strange, but did not think much about it: "He just talked about some things about Haining."

After saying that, she didn't look at Lu Jiangnian again, but turned her head to look at the situation in the carriage.

Now it is the second round. Haining is a good archer and all his arrows hit the target.

Yuan Wanru couldn't help but sigh that Haining had indeed put a lot of effort into her ideal.

Lu Jiangnian was somewhat dissatisfied that her attention was not on him. He took advantage of the cover of his wide sleeves to reach out and hold her hand, whispering, "If you like watching horseback archery, I'll show you another day."

Yuan Wanru answered absentmindedly, "Okay."

The second lap was over, and Sun Haining was about to ride his horse over the hurdle. Yuan Wanru was a little nervous and couldn't take her eyes off it.

At this moment, something seemed to have happened to the woman next to Sun Haining. She couldn't control the horse under her and crashed directly into Sun Haining.

"Oh no, the horse is going crazy!"

Someone shouted, and Sun Huanzhi leaped off the court.

Lu Jiangnian followed closely behind.

Yuan Wanru was worried that Sun Haining would be knocked down by the crazy horse.
