Chapter 455
Seeing that King Zhao was the first to ride up on horseback to rescue people, those who did not get the chance to do so all looked regretful.
What an unfortunate coincidence.
Why does your lord/cousin have to be here today?
If he hadn't gotten there first, saving Ji Yunqing would have been her job.
How annoying!
Other onlookers: ...Your reactions are so weird
Looking at it again, I still find it weird.
Why did so many people come to rescue this ordinary concubine Ji?
Ji Yunqing plans to make another trip, and when she comes back, someone should be able to rescue her, right?
She thought uncertainly.
Or will the horse stop automatically when it gets tired?
Ji Yunqing pursed her lips. As she was thinking, she heard a fresh sound of horse hooves behind her, getting closer and closer.
Before Ji Yunqing could turn his head to look, there was a sudden dent behind him and someone sat down.
The reins in her hands were grabbed by a pair of warm big hands from behind, and the man's tall and strong body pressed against her back.
In an instant, my body, which had been chilled by the wind, became warm all over.
A familiar voice sounded in my ears: "How can you be so stupid? You don't even know how to stop the horse."
Ji Yunqing lowered her head shyly, and stammered to defend herself: "I knew it at the beginning, and I studied hard, but then I was grounded for three days, so I didn't practice anymore."
Who would have thought that after she got on the horse so confidently and smoothly, she would suddenly forget how to get off?
How is this different from when she used to walk through a simple door, wanting to take something or do something, but forgetting everything?
She was so ashamed that she began to reflect on herself: "Maybe I am just too stupid and unfortunately inherited my father's brain."
King Zhao thought for a moment and said, "It's not necessarily because of your father, right?"
"How is it impossible?" Ji Yunqing refuted him with reason and evidence: "That's my father. Although he didn't conceive or give birth to me, he shuddered at the time.
He put in so much effort. Whenever someone sees me, they would sigh and say, "You and your father are like cut from the same mold."
King Zhao: “…”
Why does this sound so familiar?
Instead of thinking about it, King Zhao managed to control his horse quickly and turned back.
When they arrived at the place, he once again taught Ji Yunqing how to slow down, stop and dismount.
Ji Yunqing studied very seriously and couldn't help but sigh: "I will never forget it again, this is too scary!"
Seeing that she was not afraid to get on the horse again even though she was frightened, King Zhao softened his heart.
"If you want to ride a horse in the future, you can tell me and I will take you with me."
Ji Yunqing shook her head: "No need to go through so much trouble. I remember there are many people in our house who can ride horses." Those who have the conditions at home will learn these talents, but she doesn't have the conditions, so she can only learn it now.
Hearing her say this, King Zhao instantly remembered those people rushing to "help" just now.
Thinking about how Ji Yunqing always attracts many people, his face darkened and he said decisively: "No need for others, I will teach you myself!"
Ji Yunqing was puzzled: "Your Majesty, you are usually so busy, just let others teach me. At least there are some people who can ride horses in the stable——"
"This won't work!"
King Zhao spoke in a firm tone. All the people who could ride horses at the horse farm were men. How could Ji Yunqing learn to ride horses from them?
Just like the position they were in now, King Zhao said in a bad tone, "Who else do you want to hold you like this?"
As he spoke, the horse had already stopped. King Zhao dismounted first, and then gradually taught Ji Yunqing how to dismount.
Ji Yunqing put his feet on the ground and felt finally at peace.
She stamped her feet on the spot and looked up at King Zhao: "Thank you, Your Majesty. If you hadn't come to save me, I wouldn't know what to do."
At this time, Concubine Wen and the others also rushed over.
She gritted her teeth secretly, wondering why her cousin ran a little further before stopping?
Are you avoiding them on purpose?
"Yunqing, what's wrong with you? Are you scared?"
Concubine Wen looked Ji Yunqing in front of her carefully from head to toe, her expression very nervous, as if she was very worried about her.
Several other people also asked about Ji Yunqing.
The woman who was surrounded by the crowd immediately turned around gracefully with a smile as beautiful as a flower.
Show yourself to everyone: "I'm fine, just my legs were a little weak when I got off the horse, but everything else is fine."
After reporting that he was safe, Ji Yunqing turned his head and looked up at King Zhao, his eyes filled with lingering attachment.
"Fortunately, I am lucky today and got the help of the prince. The prince is really amazing!"
After being in the palace for so long, this was the first time she expressed her feelings for King Zhao in a social occasion.
Feeling the affection, respect, and admiration from the beautiful women around him, King Zhao accepted it very calmly.
Several other people also keenly sensed the difference.
His face suddenly turned ugly.
Ji Yunqing pursed his light-colored lips slightly, then quickly relaxed.
King Zhao saved her this time, so it is normal for other people to dislike her and be unhappy with her. There is no need to worry.
Concubine Liu couldn't bear to see someone so proud, she covered her mouth and coughed softly, "Your Highness, cough, now that Concubine Ji is here, shouldn't we resolve the conflict between Concubine Zhao and Concubine Ji?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Concubine Wen reacted immediately and took Ji Yunqing's hand naturally: "Yunqing, Concubine Zhao from the Sixth Prince's Mansion said that she stopped you and wanted to apologize, but you didn't stop riding your horse at all-"
She paused, having already seen the others, her voice was a little vague, and an outrageous yet reasonable idea came to her mind.
"You can't... stop?"
Everyone present heard Concubine Wen's words and fell into silence.
This is so true!
Although it is a little hard to believe, but considering the actions of this concubine just now, it is true.
Ji Yunqing had just stepped down from his horse and had not yet figured out what these people were doing.
She was puzzled when she heard this, but still said confidently: "I have learned it now." She really didn't know it just now.
"Ah"
Concubine Wen was relieved. Although it sounded absurd that she would not dismount, it was also strong evidence.
A pair of eyes looked at the hedgehog woman coldly: "Concubine Zhao, do you understand now? Concubine Ji didn't mean it, she really had no choice"
Concubine Zhao was furious. This Concubine Ji was really unlucky. "What if Concubine Ji was deliberately pretending not to step down in order to clear her name?"
At this moment, Concubine Wen was no longer as gentle as she was in front of Ji Yunqing. She said bluntly, "Who would have known in advance that you could be so naughty? You are just making trouble."
At this time, Ji Yunqing had quickly understood the whole story through the explanation of Concubine Zhao.
She first looked deeply at Concubine Li, and then said to Concubine Zhao who was stubborn, "Concubine Zhao's apology posture was quite special. She stood in the middle of the road.
I was riding my horse just fine, when I suddenly saw a man standing in front of me. He was like a roadblock, and I almost fell off my horse because of the fright."
She spoke softly and kindly, "Will you live long enough for me to come back? Do you have to stop a fast-running novice on the road?
I was wondering why I forgot how to get off the horse for no reason. Now that I think about it, I guess I was scared by you, right?"
