It took me six full days to completely learn twenty-six books, fourteen scrolls and nine secret books about imperial law and palace etiquette. It feels like studying for college examinations once again. At night, before I go to bed I exercise and condition my body so it will be easier to practice martial arts and weapon wielding once again.My father is really busy during summer days while my mother takes a full course of managing the household affairs and some of the shops she owns. My eldest brother usually stays in the house for a couple of days before departing as he follows my father. While my second brother is stationed at the military border along with my second uncle.
I only see the servants and the guards who keep me company. But those trivial things never bothered me. In the modern world I was accustomed to independency. And learning new things never bothered nor bored me.
"Lin Sha bring some snacks and water for me. And tell my mother that I will be at the stables finding a good horse. Tell my mother not to worry I"ve already asked father"s permission."
"Is young miss planning to ride a horse? But young miss do you know how to ride one? What if you fall again? Master will kill us--"
"Have faith in me, just do as I say. Lin Tsu, come and follow me to the stables."
I was very excited.
Finally I can ride horses, might as well go to the field of my second uncle where military arrays are arranged for practice. This will be fun.
"Greetings young miss" the soldiers near the stables greeted me and I gave their greetings back
"Lin Tsu, stay here I"d like to ask the person who manages the stables so I can borrow a horse. Do not worry, I will be fine in riding one."
I walked inside and talk to the manager of the stables. At first he doesn"t want to agree, but on second thought he arranged the soldiers on the field for safety purposes. There are about 20 military soldiers under my uncles order for residential patrol, while there are about 25 family guards. I do not know how many secrets guards my father and my uncle deployed in our residence but this is good.

I picked my father"s beloved horse. Among all horses he is well tamed and they"ve said only my father can ride this one. But due to unknown circ.u.mstances the horse allowed me to use him. Really interesting.
With my 5"4 height I can easily position myself on top of the horse. This is a war horse that my father got from the emperor along with my uncles" horses. The emperor must really favor us for gifting imported horses.
"Young miss please do not run too far, young miss should be careful not to fall--"
"Elder, you are worrying too much. I"ll as much take care of the horse."
After that the horse and I started slow pacing.
"What a lovely horse you are, please take care of me. Do you see those military arrays? I"d like to practice for a while, will you accompany this young miss?"
The horse neighed.
I think it agreed.
