I really dare not mess with the Queen Mother

Qin Zhao didn't seem to have realized what Gu Junran said just now, wanted to compete with her?

Could it be that Gu Junran understood her distress signal?

Is it because he is worried that the old eight will trip her up when she competes later?

She looked at Gu Junran in a daze, but Gu Junran just glanced at her indifferently, and then turned her gaze away.

Emperor Yuan Qi seemed to be even more shocked than her, he looked at Gu Junran in disbelief and said, "Queen, don't be a joke."

Gu Junran looked over with a faint smile: "Your Majesty, do you think I'm kidding?"

Emperor Yuan Qi was stunned: "It's not safe on the racetrack."

Gu Junran said casually: "Your Majesty seems to have forgotten that I am a good equestrian."

Her tone was casual, but from the word "not bad", the aura she showed could convince Qin Zhao that she was definitely not just good.

Emperor Yuan Qi was still hesitating: "It's just..."

Gu Junran has already saluted: "Your Majesty, I haven't ridden a horse for a long time, please allow me to do so."

Emperor Yuan Qi finally waved his hand: "Yes."

Gu Junran saluted again: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Emperor Yuan Qi gave permission, Qin Zhao and the eighth prince walked to the distant racecourse one after the other, while Gu Junran went back to the big tent first to change into riding gear.

Qin Zhao thought as he walked, the eighth prince is really not a good bastard, he walked all the way ahead, turning his head and mocking her from time to time: "Sixth brother, don't cry when you fall later?"

Qin Zhao pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "I'm afraid it will be you who will cry then."

The Eighth Prince burst out laughing when he heard the words: "I said, can you ride a horse? Can bumpkins also ride a horse?"

Qin Zhao curled his lips and said nothing.

She didn't know herself. She paid so much money to the equestrian club at the time, but later canceled because of the company's new project, and then the club moved. After all, she only took a few classes and promised to refund her money.

At that time, she was busy with the company and had no time to study, so it would be nice if she could get the money back.

But... It's like the truth that when the book is used, you hate the lack of it. If she had known this would happen in the first place, she would have learned the skill of riding a horse anyway.

"Sixth brother..."

Qin Zhao suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.

She stopped, turned around, and saw that the Ninth Prince was following her quietly, and she didn't know how long she had been following.

Qin Zhao smiled and asked him, "What's the matter?"

The Ninth Prince hesitated and said, "Will you win?"

Qin Zhao coughed lightly: "Do you believe me?"

The Ninth Prince replied decisively: "I believe it!"

Qin Zhao stretched out his hand, the Ninth Prince hesitated for a moment, then immediately put his little hand in hers.

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "But I don't believe it."

Ninth Prince: "..."

Qin Zhao quickly said again: "However, competition comes first, friendship comes second. I just heard the little eunuch say that the prize of this match is a golden bow. If I win, I will give you the golden bow, okay?" ?”

The Ninth Prince's eyes lit up instantly: "Yes!"

He wanted that golden bow a long time ago, but he couldn't pull it away, or even lift it, but the golden bow was inlaid with precious stones, and the precious stones were very beautiful, so he liked it very much.

When Qin Zhao came to the racecourse, the guards and soldiers around her saluted her one after another: "Meet Your Highness the Sixth Highness."

Their voices were loud and magnificent, and the way they bent down and bowed their hands in salute in unison was quite shocking.

Qin Zhao waved his hand pretendingly: "Excuse me."

At this time, the Eighth Prince saw her yawning: "In front of so many people, I fell off the horse, how does Sixth Brother feel?"

Qin Zhao shot back: "Yes, yes, yes, I also want to know what kind of expression you will have when you fall, what is there a word called, what does the dog eat?"

The Eighth Prince pointed at her with his index finger: "You bumpkin, don't go too far!"

Qin Zhao shrugged: "Aha...it's too much for me in such a short while."

Although the Wei Dynasty ruled the country with literature, the princes began to practice horse riding and archery skills when they were young. After all, if the royal children are too useless, they will not look good in front of the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty and the world, but Qin Zhao has scored since then. At the beginning of the palace, she only studied some cultural knowledge. Although she had a little bit of the way of governing the country, she never learned how to ride a horse, and she never even went to the martial arts arena, but she was happy to do so.

The horse race this time was mainly because Emperor Yuan Qi was coming to hunt. Horse racing was just one of the sports, and it was considered as an appetizer before the hunt. But even so, idiots like the Eighth Prince still competed to stand out.

However, Qin Zhao felt that the eighth prince was targeting her, perhaps because of the male protagonist, the third prince.

Because of Gu Junran's participation in this horse race, no one dared to come forward to participate in the race. After all, she is the empress of today. If something happens to Gu Junran on the racecourse, she and the eighth prince are the sons of the emperor, so naturally it will be fine. , but others are hard to say.

With that in mind, he caught off guard and looked at a figure striding towards him in the distance.

The man was dressed in a capable long gown, and his figure was tall. His steps were obviously very light as he walked slowly, but he brought out a heroic and hearty aura.

Qin Zhao squinted his eyes, such Gu Junran was really rare, as if it was some handsome female general walking towards her, not the noble empress of the dynasty.

Qin Zhao swallowed subconsciously in his throat, then walked up quickly and said with a smile, "The empress is so handsome today! She is so beautiful and rustic!"

Qin Zhao's flattering words heard Gu Junran's ears, and only understood "beauty". She frowned slightly, and raised her eyebrows to look at her: "Slick."

Qin Zhao smirked, and then whispered into her ear: "Mother, you must remember to protect me later, I know you must be very good at riding horses."

Gu Junran looked at her with a faint smile: "Are you afraid of death?"

Qin Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and immediately nodded decisively: "I'm afraid! I'm afraid of death, I beg you, ma'am~"

Her pleading emphasis coupled with a bitter expression successfully put Gu Junran in a good mood, and Gu Junran said lightly, "Let's talk about it."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the main entrance of the racecourse.

As for the eighth prince saluting her, she just nodded indifferently and didn't say much.

Qin Zhaogang wanted to follow up immediately, when he inadvertently looked at her, the Eighth Prince glared at her resentfully: "Don't be complacent, Qin Zhao, just wait for me!"

Qin Zhao couldn't understand the gnashing of teeth in this tone, and thought that the eighth prince was jealous of Gu Junran because of her.

So what's the situation now, the eighth prince wants to compete with her for Gu Junran's maternal love?

Qin Zhao smiled calmly: "Okay, I'll wait."

The Eighth Prince flicked his sleeves and approached the racecourse angrily.

Qin Zhao also immediately caught up with Gu Junran.

In the racecourse, three fine horses were led by the little eunuch.

The eighth prince got on the horse first. He rode on the tall horse and looked down at Qin Zhao: "Sixth brother, I will pick this beast first, do you have any objection?"

Qin Zhao pursed his lips: "You picked everything, so what are you talking about?"

Gu Junran glanced at Qin Zhao, frowned slightly, then looked at the Eighth Prince and asked, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and the Eighth Prince has even forgotten the rules?"

The Eighth Prince was an act of arrogance, and the queen didn't even say that he wanted to choose a horse, so he went up directly. Originally, it was just to overwhelm Qin Zhao, and he never thought that the queen would ask.

As soon as Gu Junran spoke, he quickly jumped off the horse, knelt down in a panic and pleaded guilty: "Empress, it's Lao Ba who was rude."

Gu Junran ignored him, and turned to Qin Zhao: "Choose."

Qin Zhao was taken aback, Gu Junran was here just now, trying to show her off?

It would be a lie to say that she was not moved. At this time, it was an innocuous matter, but Gu Junran was willing to stand up for her.

Qin Zhao smiled: "Okay."

She walked up to the three horses, looked back and forth, and chose the white horse.

After she had chosen, Gu Junran looked at the Eighth Prince and said, "His Royal Highness..."

The Eighth Prince was bewildered, and hastily selected the previous batch of steeds.

When he chose, he still watched Gu Junran's eyes. Even though he was extremely unconvinced, he still tried it out. It wasn't until Gu Junran looked at Qin Zhao again and didn't care about him at all, that he made a bold choice with confidence.

He thought bitterly, don't wait for him to enter the court, once he enters the court, what happens will not be controlled by the status of empress.

Thinking of this, he sneered and looked at Qin Zhao again.

Qin Zhao felt that this person was probably mentally ill.

The last remaining batch of maroon horses are naturally Gu Junran's.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of gong beating, and the three of them got on their horses respectively.

The horse race was about to start, and at this moment, the soldiers around shouted: "The eighth prince will win!"

"The Eighth Prince must win!"

"The empress must win!"

"The empress must win!"

Qin Zhao rode on the horse tremblingly, sighing in his heart, why didn't anyone shout slogans to her?

She knew she couldn't do it right, and she understood the reason, but...why no one cheered her on?

Gu Junran's voice suddenly came: "Why did you choose it?"

Qin Zhao tilted his head when he heard the voice, Gu Junran was looking at her and the white horse under her.

Qin Zhao coughed lightly, and said truthfully, "In order to be Prince Charming once."

Gu Junran was silent.

At this time, a huge gong sounded!

As soon as the sound of the gong sounded, the Eighth Prince's horse and Gu Junran's horse galloped out instantly, as fast as an arrow off the string, and the surrounding drums began to beat densely.

Qin Zhao realized later, and rushed out quickly.

However, those two moved too fast, and she soon fell behind a lot.

Qin Zhao thought, since the eighth prince wanted to trip her up, she might as well walk slowly, anyway...

Gu Junran might be able to win, after all, Gu Junran's speed is much faster than the Eighth Prince's.

She is Gu Junran's person, as long as Gu Junran can win, it will be equivalent to her winning for so long, and she will be honored.

As long as the Eighth Prince doesn't trip her up, it doesn't matter if she wins or loses.

However, just as she was walking slowly, she gradually realized that the eighth prince looked back at her, and suddenly his speed gradually slowed down.

Qin Zhao was startled, how can this work?

What does the Eighth Prince mean, she can't even admit defeat?

however……

The horse under her was so fast that she didn't know how to control it at all. Even if she deliberately pulled the rein, the horse was still moving forward quickly, and because she couldn't ride a horse, the horse Started to have some uncontrollable trends.

Just when she was getting closer and closer to the Eighth Prince, the Eighth Prince looked back at her again with his mocking eyes.

Qin Zhao smiled wryly in his heart, this... God will kill her!

However, at this moment, she was suddenly surprised to find that Gu Junran seemed to be driving a horse, walking back...

The author has something to say: back.
