The Eldest Daughter Reborn: She Provoked the Obsessive Crown Prince and Couldn't Escape

"Oh dear, I told you long ago, why would a girl ride a horse!"

"Who says otherwise? Now, Great Wei is going to lose face again!"

“In previous years, when they lost to the Western Regions, they could still boast that they were ‘the uncrowned kings’ and that they were ‘honorable even in defeat’.”

"Now look what's happened, we've lost all face and dignity!"

"Such a beautiful woman, why not just be a pretty face? Tsk tsk..."

The noble ladies and noblewomen at the banquet either watched the spectacle or gasped in astonishment.

They seem to have forgotten that long before Fu Luan, several people from the Great Wei had already fallen from grace and were no longer qualified to "bring glory to the Great Wei".

Some of the wealthy women even covered their own and their children's eyes, because based on their experience watching horse races, most people who were knocked to the ground during a race did not have a good ending.

They were either trampled into mud by horses, or their brains were splattered out...

In short, these are scenes that children shouldn't see. But...

"Mommy, look... that sister in the red dress is so amazing!" a child at the table exclaimed.

Everyone looked over and saw that just as Fu Luan was about to fall off the horse, he hooked the saddle with his left foot and quickly picked up the whip with his right hand.

Using the instep of his left foot, he steadily hooked himself back onto the horse's back...

Fu Luan whipped her horse and quickly overtook the man who had bumped into her, then lashed him hard with the whip she had picked up again.

She even glanced at him smugly, her eyes full of disdain.

The man was whipped by Fu Luan while still on horseback, and his face was spurted and bleeding.

But his horseback riding skills were truly remarkable; he didn't fall off!

Fu Luan frowned slightly, no longer having time to be distracted by this interlude.

After all, her goals were firstly to become the leader, and secondly to become the top scholar.

Fortunately, although Yuan Lu was a good-for-nothing, his horse was a first-class horse bestowed by the emperor.

That horse was indeed formidable; even with a foolish master, it still charged ahead.

"Fool!" Ignoring the cheers that were fading into the distance, Fu Luan's lips curled into a barely perceptible smirk.

"Batu, to the right!" Once they were out of sight of the nobles, Fu Luan pinpointed the direction where Yuan Lu was.

She estimated the distance and time, and made Batu run faster and faster in advance.

Fu Luan and Batu became one, as if they had a special connection and shared the ups and downs and rhythm of the competition.

Every movement of her hands, even the slight bend of her slender yet strong fingers, conveyed trust and guidance to Batu.

Batu had already pinpointed Yuanlu's location, and with Fuluan's command, it charged towards Yuanlu with all its might...

"Ah!" Yuan Lu immediately let out a scream!

Although he was knocked over, he didn't fall off his horse like the others; Fu Luan looked closely and saw that his right foot was stuck in the stirrup—

Stirrups were originally designed to keep riders steady and prevent them from sliding sideways or falling off.

However, there are also many cases of people getting their feet caught in the stirrups or even being dragged to their deaths by horses for various reasons.

Thus, riding boots came into being...

Fu Luan had this reason for making Yuan Lu take off his riding boots before the race!

Only by wearing riding boots can one ensure that they will not get caught in the stirrups and be dragged to their death when dismounting or falling off a horse;

Yuan Lu, now stripped of his riding boots, is being dragged along the ground by his precious horse...

But if it's only this much, it's far from enough to quell Fu Luan's hatred.

Remove limbs and turn into a human pig;

To seal off one's five senses and turn one into a useless person;

The newborn child was brutally killed by him and that vile woman;

More than 700 members of the Fu family perished in one night...

How could such deep-seated hatred be erased simply by falling off a horse?

Seeing Yuan Lu trying to crawl away, Fu Luan gave the order, and Batu raised his hoof and stomped hard on Yuan Lu's right foot...

Those boots adorned with gold and jade were extremely beautiful, but they offered absolutely no protection for Yuan Lu's legs, that good-for-nothing.

I wonder if Yuan Lu regretted listening to Fu Luan and taking off his riding boots in public just to make the beauty smile?

"Ah!" Yuan Lu's scream finally attracted the attention of others.

Fu Luan heard the sound of horses pounding the ground and realized that there were more than just one or two people coming.

"I already said, 'See you on horseback,' Your Highness hasn't forgotten, has he? I'll take your useless legs!"

"Hmph, we'll see!" Fu Luan spat at him, then whipped his whip again, ordering Batu to gallop towards the finish line.

With a quarter of the journey still to go, Fu Luan on horseback began to feel somewhat exhausted.

Although the man from the Western Regions did not knock her off her horse, being bumped by that burly man was no joke!

Fu Luan endured the pain, secretly relieved that he had only bumped into her with his body;

Instead of urging her horse to charge like she did when she attacked Yuan Lu...

If it had been a horse that knocked her down, she would probably be the one lying on the ground with a broken leg now.

Fu Luan's vision began to blur, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered.

The blood feud from her past life, Xiao Jiu waiting for her in prison; and more...

"Ah Luan, I'll take you home..."

Just as Fu Luan was about to collapse from exhaustion, a large hand caught her.

"Yarkand?" Fu Luan seemed to snap out of her daze when she felt the warmth from his palm.

But she didn't have time to thank Yarkand. Seeing someone about to pass her, she ruthlessly lashed Batu a few times.

Batu let out a long roar and charged forward with all his might, leaving everyone behind;

It charged toward the golden seal with Fu Luan in its arms, and as Yarkand followed closely behind, their hands reached for the golden seal together...

Just as their hands almost touched the golden seal at the same time, Yarkand withdrew his hand...

When Fu Luan seized the golden seal, she looked at Yarkand, her watery eyes revealing unconcealed surprise.

The palace attendants at the horse racing track announced that Fu Luan had won the championship, but Fu Luan did not feel the expected joy.

"General, you were so close to the leader just now, why did you retreat in the face of battle?" Fu Luan squinted, seemingly unable to see through the young man before him.

“It was already an offense for me to touch the young lady’s hand; moreover…” Yarkand laughed loudly, then said seriously:

“If the young lady hadn’t done some ‘insignificant’ little things before, she probably would have reached the finish line and won the golden seal long ago;

"How could I possibly have the honor of reaching the finish line with you, young lady? Besides, my men bumped into you at the start of the competition."

"I almost injured you, young lady, and I haven't even apologized to you yet. If I were to compete with you for this golden seal again..."

"That would be taking advantage of someone in distress, and it would be an unfair victory. Please rest assured, young lady, that subordinate will be severely punished!"

Fu Luan rolled her eyes and said with a playful smile, "Judging from your words, General, this 'champion' title of mine is entirely due to your modesty, is that right?"

Yarkand's face immediately flushed red. "Your horsemanship, young lady, is among the best even in the Western Regions. I..."

Fu Luan laughed and said, "I was just joking with the general, please don't take it seriously. But..."

"Please speak, young lady." Yarkand was worried that he had offended the "most beautiful woman in the Great Wei" with his words;

Seeing that Fu Luan had something else to say, he quickly bowed...
