Chapter 314: Fallen

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Xiaoxiao went to choose a horse.

The horses were led by the eunuchs and stood on the gra.s.sland in boredom.

From the appearance and spirit of the horses, these horses were much better than the horses she had seen in the horse market in town.

Compared to the two horses that Qin Canglan brought over last time, they seemed to be a little inferior.

It was enough to teach the daughters of the Gong Xue how to ride and shoot.

Su Xiaoxiao casually turned around and stopped in front of a black horse.

“This horse doesn’t carry enough weight. You’re more suitable for the horse beside you.”

Su Xiaoxiao turned around.

The person who spoke was the daughter of the Leng family, Leng Zhiruo.

Teacher Jiang had asked her questions in cla.s.s, and Su Xiaoxiao remembered her.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and listened to her suggestion. She came to the horse beside her.

This horse was indeed stronger.

Leng Zhiruo had already chosen a horse and flipped herself up onto the horse.

“Not enough explosive power, but novices don’t need it either.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she took the horsewhip from the palace maid and shouted, “Giddy up.” The horse left in the dust and began to run on the gra.s.sland.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her heroic back and suddenly remembered that the Leng family was also a military power family. Leng Zhiruo was the daughter of a general.

Leng Zhiruo rode on her own and did not partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion between Princess Hui An and Princess Lingxi. The other daughters also came to choose horses.

Qin Yanran chose a horse for herself.

Logically speaking, the palace maids had to adjust the saddles for the daughters.

Leng Zhiruo didn’t need anyone to do it for her, but no one came to do it for Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao recalled Leng Zhiruo adjusting the saddle and followed suit.

Qin Yanran rode her horse over and looked down at Su Xiaoxiao. “Your horse can’t run fast.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her in confusion.

Miss Lin smiled at Qin Yanran and said, “Miss Qin, help me choose a horse! I don’t know which horse is better?”

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was ignoring her, Qin Yanran felt that she was asking for a rebuff and went to help Miss Lin and the others choose horses.

Halfway through the selection, there was a situation between Princess Lingxi and Princess Huian.

Princess Lingxi’s horse accidentally b.u.mped into Princess Hui An’s horse.

Frightened, Princess Hui An’s horse galloped crazily in the gra.s.sland.

Princess Hui An could not stop the horse and cried out in fear.

Seeing this, Princess Lingxi panicked and tried to save Princess Hui An. However, the more she chased, the more frightened Princess Hui An’s horse was.

In the blink of an eye, the horse b.u.mped into the ladies.

Princess Hui An’s expression changed drastically. “Ah! Move aside!” Qin Yanran spurred her horse to dodge.

She had dodged, but the daughters behind her who were not good at riding would suffer.

One of the horses was shocked and raised its front hooves.

“Ah!” The lady on the horse screamed in fear.

Su Xiaoxiao reached out and grabbed her off the horse.

However, her own horse was also frightened. Just as she put her down, her horse ran forward crazily.

She clamped her legs on the horse’s flank and gripped the reins tightly with both hands to prevent herself from falling off the horse.

The scene was in chaos. Other than Leng Zhiruo and Qin Yanran, everyone else’s horses were shocked to varying degrees.

Leng Zhiruo urged her horse to chase after her. “Princess Lingxi! Command your horse to stop running!”

Princess Lingxi cried, “I… I can’t stop either…”

The daughters who did not get on their horses hid far away and looked at the out-of-control racecourse in fear.

Miss w.a.n.g covered her face and exclaimed, “Not good! They’re going to collide!”

Princess Hui An and Su Xiaoxiao’s horses collided with each other…

“Get out of my way!”

She couldn’t dodge it.

Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes turned cold as she secretly calculated the angle and distance between her and Princess Hui An.

She could only abandon the horse to save her life. She would probably break a few bones. She wondered if this n.o.ble princess could withstand a fall.

Five steps, four steps, three steps…

At the critical moment, a figure in black flew over and sat on Su Xiaoxiao’s horse.

He sat behind Su Xiaoxiao and grabbed the reins that Su Xiaoxiao was holding tightly. He shouted and suddenly turned the frightened horse around!

Princess Hui An closed her eyes in fear and brushed past Su Xiaoxiao’s horse!

The danger did not stop. In front of Princess Hui An was a fence about the height of a person.

Princess Hui An opened her eyes. “Ahhhh!”

Hong Luan and Bai Ze exchanged glances. Hong Luan sprang and pounced on Princess Hui An from the horse. Bai Ze quickly hugged the horse’s neck and was dragged forward for dozens of feet before sitting on the horse’s back.

If it was an ordinary horse, it would be fine to kill it.

But this was a royal horse.

He could not kill it. He could only think of a way to stop it.

On the other side, Su Xiaoxiao’s horse was gradually controlled by Jing Yi.

The young man had grown taller again. His arms had the strength of an adult man and he hugged Su Xiaoxiao tightly, stable and calm.

“Jing Yi.” Su Xiaoxiao turned to look at him.

The two of them were a little close.

Jing Yi’s ears turned slightly red as he said calmly, “It’s fine. Don’t be afraid.” “Oh, I’m not afraid,” Su Xiaoxiao said. “It’s your hand…”

Jing Yi had used too much strength just now. His palm was scratched and blood

seeped out of the reins.

“You’re injured,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

Jing Yi did not pay attention to his injuries immediately. Instead, he looked at her dress.

Seeing that he did not dirty her clothes, his expression softened.

“I’m fine,” he said.

He dismounted and reached out to help Su Xiaoxiao.

Thinking of something, she took out a handkerchief and wrapped it around the blood on his palm.

She was careful and carried the innocence and piety of a young man.

Su Xiaoxiao was afraid of hurting him, so she gently held his wrist.

Everyone looked at this scene in disbelief.

She thought that this girl would not be able to avoid the danger just now. Even if she did not die, she would be crippled. Who would have thought that Young Marquis Jing would appear in time?

Miss Lin said infatuatedly, “The way Young Marquis Jing saved her… is so handsome!”

Young Marquis Jing had just turned 17 this year and was not old enough to be crowned. In the past, they only felt that Young Marquis Jing was still a child, but just now, he was filled with the aura and charm of an adult man.

Everyone was shocked.

It turned out that the young man could also give people a great sense of security.

No one thought that Jing Yi had anything to do with Su Xiaoxiao. How could a wandering girl be qualified to make Young Marquis Jing bow down to her?

It was Young Marquis Jing who was heroic and righteous. If it were anyone else, Young Marquis Jing would have saved them without hesitation. Only Qin Yanran knew that Jing Yi and Su Xiaoxiao knew each other.

Back in Qingzhou, Jing Yi had helped Su Ergou.

Today, he ignored Princess Hui An, who was closer to him, and saved Su Xiaoxiao. Look at Princess Hui An. Her forehead was bruised.

Hong Luan helped Princess Hui An up. “Princess.”

Princess Hui An pushed her away angrily. “Go away!”

She had fallen badly. Not only did she have a headache, but her feet hurt too! She limped to Jing Yi and pointed at Su Xiaoxiao, complaining, “Why didn’t you save me?”

Jing Yi said, “Hong Luan went to save you.”

Princess Hui An exploded. “I don’t want a servant to save me! Look what he did to me!”

JingYi paused and said, “Your horse is too fast. If I were the one to save you, I would have made you fall too.”

Princess Hui An was speechless.

At this moment, Xiao Zhonghua came over.

Jing Yi had entered the palace with him. It was only because of the emergency just now that Jing Yi used his qinggong first.

When Princess Hui An saw him, the grievance in her heart surged as tears rolled down her face. “Wuwu… Third Brother…

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Zhonghua strangely. “Third… Brother? You’re not

Young Master Xiang?”

The eunuch at the side shouted, “How dare you! This is the Third Prince!”
