“Then just kill her!” Zhao Kangning said impatiently.
“I can’t kill her,” the Gu Master said. “Although there has always been internal strife among Gu Masters, there’s also an agreed rule. That is, unless it’s absolutely necessary, we can’t kill the Destiny Gu Child and the Destiny Gu Lady.”
Experts all had strange rules and bad habits. As the princess of the royal family, Zhao Kangning naturally understood the logic of using someone’s strengths and accepting someone’s shortcomings.
Moreover, it was just an insensible child. So be it. It would not pose a threat to her.
“Surely someone else can be killed?” she asked.
“Of course.” The Gu Master placed his right hand on his chest and bowed piously. “I’m willing to serve the princess. ”
This young Gu Master actually had a delicate face, so it was very difficult to think that he was a sinister Gu Master.
Zhao Kangning was quite satisfied with his attitude. “Next time, I don’t want to see you fail.”
The Gu Master promised, “Definitely not.”
Due to the malfunction of the broken bridge, it was already very late when Su Xiaoxiao and the others arrived at the palace. The three little fellows were energetic, but it did not mean that the Empress Dowager could withstand it at her age.
She sat in the carriage for the entire day and rested in a daze when she arrived at the palace.
Early the next morning, Su Xiaoxiao dressed the three little fellows and went to the Empress Dowager’s bedroom with Madam Li and Wei Xiyue.
Previously, many women had already brought their children to pay their respects. In order not to let anyone see that she was special to the women of the Wei family, the Empress Dowager had also seen them one by one.
The Empress Dowager was exhausted, but the moment she saw the little fellows, she felt alive again.
“Empress Dowager.” Madam Li bowed.
The Empress Dowager said kindly, ‘We’re family. There’s no need to be so polite.”
Eunuch Cheng smiled and said to the palace maids and eunuchs, “There are many children. The few of you, follow me to get some things. ”
“Yes.”
The palace servants in the house followed Eunuch Cheng out.
Madam Li smiled and said, “I’ll bring Xiyue around too.”
The Empress Dowager gave Wei Xiyue a pair of priceless jewel bracelets that had been passed down from the previous dynasty before asking Madam Li to bring Wei Xiyue out.
“Great- grandmother. ”
The three children came to the Empress Dowager. When there was no one around, they could greet her as great-grandmother. If there were people around, they would address her as Empress Dowager. Su Xiaoxiao had already taught them.
The Empress Dowager was so excited that she could finally see her three little sweethearts again. She hugged the three little fellows and could not get enough of them.
Halfway through, Princess Jingning and Princess Hui An came over.
Princess Jingning recognized the three little fellows, but Princess Hui An did not recognize one of them at all. It was the little medicine boy from the Imperial Astronomy that she had seen in the palace.
It could be seen that the disguise was still successful.
The Empress Dowager looked at Su Xiaoxiao, Jingning, and Hui An and said gently, “I haven’t seen such interesting children in a long time. Go hunt and let them stay here to accompany me.”
Princess Hui An did not doubt him. Although she had sprained her ankle and injured her arm, she still had to join in the fun.
The three of them brought Taozhi, Little Shunzi, and the other palace servants to the hunting ground.
The women could also participate in this hunt.
Many of the daughters of the Palace Academy were already choosing horses, but their expressions were not right. All of them were dejected.
The three of them went over. Princess Hui An was in a wheelchair, and Little Shunzi pushed her.
“What’s wrong?” Princess Jingning asked.
Lu Ying looked across and sighed. “Northern Yan brought powerful horses. Just now, they frightened our horses so much that they fled everywhere, except for Princess Lingxi’s big food horse.”
When Guo Huan returned to the capital, he brought back two large food horses. One was given to Guo Lingxi, and the other was given to Princess Hui An. Later, Princess Hui An gave hers to Su Xiaoxiao. Lu Ying hurriedly asked, “Qin Su, did you ride the big food horse over?”
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. “No.”
Raising a horse was very troublesome. That horse did not eat everything like Sihu, so Su Xiaoxiao sent it to the Qin family’s horse farm and asked someone to feed it. At the same time, she would train it to become a qualified warhorse.
Emperor Jing Xuan sat in the built pergola with those who did not go hunting.
In the horse farm, Northern Yan’s warhorses crushed the horses of the palace into dust. Emperor Jing Xuan did not expect Northern Yan to be so sinister and deliberately used a group of powerful horses to slap the Great Zhou’s face. If he had known earlier, he would have transferred the Qin family’s cavalry over.
Zhao Kangning walked around the field and returned with a high fighting spirit. She handed the horse to the guard at the side and came to the Princess and the young Princess of Western Jin with a smile.
“I brought a few foals under the age of two this time. They’re no slower than adult horses. If the young princess likes them, I can give them all to you.” The young Princess of the Western Jin looked at the horse farm.
Zhao Kangning was not lying. The two-year-old Northern Yan warhorse left the adult horses of the Great Zhou far behind.
Emperor Jing Xuan was furious.
Wasn’t he especially choosing gentle and not-so-violent horses for safety reasons?
Shameless Northern Yan!
The young Princess of the Western Jin opened her mouth.
She was a little tempted.
She looked at her mother. The Princess of the Western Jin nodded at her slightly. She had always agreed to her daughter’s requests.
“Choose one if you like,” she said.
“It’s fine to choose all of them,” Zhao Kangning said with a smile.
So what if she had a parrot?
Her horses were much more valuable than a parrot!
The young Princess of the Western Jin pointed. “I want the smallest one.”
“Is the youngest… the one-year-old eight-month-old horse? The young princess has good eyesight. It’s a treasure…”
After saying that, Zhao Kangning paused.
Her gaze landed on the foal pointed at by the young princess of the Western Jin.
It was… a foal less than eight months old. It grinned and ran all the way.
swish!
It passed one.
Swish!
It passed another!
One after another, in the blink of an eye, it left all the other horses behind!
Zhao Kangning couldn’t remember when they had brought such a small horse.
Moreover, it was too powerful! It was simply a divine chariot!
However, it was too small and its stamina was limited. It could not run after exhausting itself.
However, the explosive power and combat strength it had displayed just now had already shocked everyone.
“Heavens, Northern Yan actually has such a powerful horse…”
“We lost terribly… The limelight that Qin Su won last time was all snatched away by this pony…”
“Let me ride it… I have no regrets in this life…”
“You even want to ride the horse for a few months! Isn’t that too much!”
“I’m just saying! Do you really think I can ride it? That’s a horse from Northern
Yan! I don’t even touch it!”
The Princess of the Western Jin stood up slightly, clearly stunned.
Emperor Jing Xuan’s face darkened.
Very good. After being crushed by a foal of a few months old, the Great Zhou did not have to survive anymore. They had lost all their face.
Zhao Kangning looked at their expressions and knew that they did not know this foal. It seemed that it was indeed from Northern Yan.
She didn’t know which horse trainer had brought it over, but she had to reward him heavily later.
“It’s its honor to be chosen by the young princess.” Zhao Kangning felt a pang of pain for a moment, but when she thought of the great cause of Northern Yan, she decided to bear the pain and part with it.
She asked the servant to bring the foal over.
However, something awkward happened.
The foal ignored the horse trainer of Northern Yan!
It even kicked him away!
Everyone was dumbfounded. Did they raise it like a donkey?
What was even more confounding was yet to come.
After kicking away a few horse trainers, this pony suddenly came to the bushes and opened its mouth to bite a beautiful big red flower before prancing towards Su Xiaoxiao valiantly.
It placed the flower in Su Xiaoxiao’s hand and was instantly as obedient as a shy baby.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and patted its head. “Sihu, good job..’
