Chapter 15 Riding and Shooting
Early in the morning, the sky was bright, and most of the sky was still hidden in darkness. Xu Yan yawned several times as she walked on the road. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked Yingchun beside her: "Are you sure the time the Queen Mother mentioned?
That’s wrong.”
Yingchun leaned over and said, "Yes. Your Majesty has asked us to leave at five o'clock to visit Master He."
Xu Yan shook his head and said, "But if we go there so early, won't we disturb Mr. He's rest? Mr. He doesn't sleep?"
Yingchun said: "Your Highness is overly worried. Master He is a military commander, and he always gets up earlier than ordinary people. Besides, Master He is responsible for the security of spring hunting these days. He is very busy these days, so I want to invite His Highness to the training ground."
The distance to the martial arts training ground is quite long, so Your Highness will have to get up early because of the fatigue."
Xu Yan was speechless, since she was already up, let's go quickly. She tightened her little jacket tightly, looking forward to the upcoming ejaculation lessons.
But soon, she felt a little cold in her heart.
She looked at Mr. He who was eight feet in front of her, and was a little confused. She tried to stand on tiptoe to see Mr. He's face, but she failed.
Seeing her like this, Master He stroked his beard and laughed, bowed to her and said, "Hello, Your Highness."
Xu Yan scratched his head in embarrassment: "Hello, Master."
The impression of this first meeting was not bad, but when it came time to actually study, Master He seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person.
Xu Yan was standing alone in the huge martial arts training ground. The sweat on her forehead hit the ground drop by drop as the sun emerged at dawn. Her calves were trembling slightly, and Mr. He seemed to have noticed her shaking figure.
The wicker sticks were thrown over mercilessly.
At first, Xu Yan roared in his heart: I am the princess! The princess! How dare you hit me, I will punish you!
I don’t know how long it took, but Xu Yan had no strength left. She didn’t know how long she had been standing. She could only see the bright sun hanging high in the sky. All she could think about was: I can’t do it, I really can’t do it.
. The next second I will fall to the ground.
However, before she fell down, she heard Master He's voice: "That's it."
Xu Yan's legs softened and she was about to fall to the ground. The fourth palace maid waiting beside her hurriedly helped her.
Before she could take a breath, Master He spoke again: "Have a rest and burn incense. Your Highness, please follow me to learn riding skills."
Hearing this, Xu Yan's body that had just stood up softened again.
She was wrong, she was really wrong. How could she think that riding and shooting was easier to learn at that time? She looked at Mr. He who kept walking back and forth in the stables in front of her, and she kept sighing in her heart.
Finally, Master He stopped. Xu Yan no longer had the energy to pay attention to the horse beside her. She didn't even notice that Master He stopped and bumped into his back.
Master He turned around and didn't care about anything with her. He just patted the horse that was being led out beside him and said, "Your Highness, this is the horse I chose for you."
Xu Yan looked up and saw a maroon horse in front of him. Compared with other horses, it was a little shorter. But its shiny hair and bright eyes all showed the excellence of this horse.
.
Master He continued: "Because His Highness is still young and is new to riding, he picked a colt. But don't underestimate it, it is the offspring of a purebred sweat horse that was brought as tribute from the Western Regions a few years ago.
, It’s so precious. From now on, I can grow up with His Highness.”
Hearing what Mrs. He said, Xu Yan suddenly became more interested. It sounded wonderful to be able to grow up with her.
Master He said to her, "How about your Highness give this horse a name?"
Xu Yan thought about it and decided that her horse must have a domineering name! It would be best if the enemy could hear it on the battlefield and retreat in all directions. Xu Yan thought for a moment and said: "Then let's call it Chiyan.
.”
Master He laughed loudly after hearing this and said to Xu Yan: "Well done, Your Highness! What a Chi Yan!"
Seeing a proud look on her face, Master He twirled his beard and said, "In that case, Your Highness, please come with me to the racecourse to learn."
Xu Yan took the horse from the servant, touched its hair and said, "Okay."
When they arrived at the racecourse, Xu Yan once again lamented that nothing would be as she imagined. She had been learning how to mount a horse for a long time. Maybe it was because Chi Yan was still a bit taller than her, so Xu Yan got on
There were some difficulties at that time.
Master He shook his head and said: "Your Highness really... reminds me of your Majesty back then, alas, that's all."
Xu Yan's eyes darkened when she heard her master mention the Queen again. Yes, she is such a person who can't do anything well. However, she tightened the reins in her hands. She will work hard, and there is nothing she can't do.
She will work harder than others on everything. Even if she sweats a thousand times, she will do it and do it better than others!
After many lessons from Master He, Xu Yan finally mastered how to mount a horse. Even learning the most basic steps of riding a horse made her happy for a long time.
Seeing her like this, Master He didn't want to disturb her interest. However, after looking at the sun that was gradually turning westward, he still said to Xu Yan: "Your Highness, I don't have much time these days. The content of the first class has been completed today.
Completed, but the exam is coming soon, so I have to work hard for Your Highness to study more."
Xu Yan's body suddenly stiffened while he was sitting on the horse. He smiled bitterly at Mr. He and said, "It's not hard."
Master He smiled and nodded and said: "His Royal Highness is really like your Majesty! Then let's go to the school grounds now."
Xu Yan got off the horse tremblingly, wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "Okay, Master."
Master He asked in confusion: "Why is Your Highness crying?"
Xu Yan sniffed and said, "It's nothing. Maybe there are too many catkins and my eyes are a little uncomfortable."
Mr. He didn't say any more, and walked forward with long strides. But at this moment, Xu Yan's heart was filled with tears, like a river, rushing.
The school ground and the racecourse are not far apart, and they arrived soon. Master He stopped, turned around and said to Xu Yan: "My memory is a bit bad, I'm afraid I'll forget to tell you when it's over. Your Highness, remember, whether it's horse riding or archery,
, are inseparable from basic skills. Your Highness, this basic skill starts with Zha Ma Bu."
After saying that, he was afraid that Xu Yan would be lazy, so he turned to the fourth palace maid and continued to instruct: "Remember, let His Highness walk for an hour every day. Start with one hour first, and then increase it after one month.
Two hours."
When Xu Yan heard this, his already trembling legs became even softer. This Master He was really not as easy to fool as he seemed, and he could see through her intention to be lazy at a glance. Telling the fourth palace maid would be equivalent to telling the Queen Mother.
? Then why is she lazy!
When Xu Yan was about to cry without tears, he heard Master He's voice, which sounded like it was coming from hell: "Your Highness, come here, I will give His Highness the first lesson in archery."
