Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. “For me?”

Princess Hui An’s eyelashes trembled as she said seriously, “I’m not giving it to you. I’m rewarding it to you!”

She was a dignified princess. How could she give things away casually?

This was her grace!

“I have much more good things than Jingning! You’ll know in the future!” As she spoke, Princess Jingning walked over with Taozhi.

Taozhi bowed to Princess Hui An and bowed to greet Su Xiaoxiao.

Princess Hui An rolled her eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded slightly and looked at Princess Jingning. “I didn’t see you during the last exam. ”

Princess Jing Ning said, “Mother isn’t feeling well. I slept a little late. Did Imperial Grandmother allow you to come back for class?”

The Empress Dowager had actually never stopped her from attending class.

She had taken the opportunity to skip class, but the Empress Dowager had probably discovered it and chased her back to the palace to study.

“The Empress Dowager asked me to come,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

Princess Jingning said softly, “I visited Grandmother last night. She’s recovering well. It’s been hard on you these days.”

Princess Hui An said angrily, “That goes without saying!”

The little girl was now her follower. Could Jingning be more tactful?

Princess Jingning couldn’t be bothered with this idiot of a sister. She pulled Su Xiaoxiao’s hand and wanted to choose a horse.

Princess Hui An exploded and stared at the two of them holding hands. “You, you, you, what are you doing!”

Princess Jingning was confused. “Choose a horse. Why? Do you want to follow?”

Princess Hui An placed her hands on her hips and said, “She has a horse!”

Princess Jingning looked at Su Xiaoxiao and realized that she was already holding a horse. Her sleeve was blocking it just now, so she thought that this horse belonged to Hui An.

“This isn’t a horse of the Palace Academy, ” Princess Jingning said.

Princess Hui An crossed her arms and said proudly, “It’s a big food horse. I rewarded it!”

Princess Jingning’s gaze landed on Su Xiaoxiao’s face. “You want it?”

Princess Hui An said fiercely, “How dare she not want it?!”

The two of them looked at Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao felt her scalp tingle. Why did she feel that there was a fire in the backyard again…

Wei Ting rode his horse over and saved Su Xiaoxiao in time.

“Everyone, choose your horses and prepare for the exam.”

The first test was riding.

There were a total of 23 students in the Palace Academy. Lin Ruyue had been expelled, Qin Yanran had not come to prepare for her marriage at home, and Hu Biyun had been implicated and expelled. There were exactly 20 of them now.

They had to form a pair and drew lots to decide.

The riding and shooting teachers would comprehensively evaluate the results from the preparation before the examination, the riding posture, speed, and so on. The best would be graded with an A.

Wei Ting was a very strict substitute teacher. No one had ever clinched A in his class.

Wei Ting demonstrated first. He first circled the field before going in a straight line to the opposite side. Along the way, he had to cross three obstacles.

Princess Jingning was in the first group, and Leng Zhiruo was also in the first group.

Leng Zhiruo also used her own horse. Princess Jingning originally wanted to choose a horse, but after glancing at Princess Hui An, she asked the palace servants to bring her ferghana horse over.

Leng Zhiruo was the daughter of a general. Her riding skills were very outstanding, and she received a B.

Princess Jingning’s performance was quite stunning. Everyone did not have high expectations of her. They thought that she would be defeated by Leng Zhiruo.

Unexpectedly, she got B+.

“Her horse is good,” a rich girl whispered. “She’s a princess. Of course her horse is good.”

Su Xiaoxiao said nothing.

She could tell that Princess Jingning’s horse was more outstanding than Leng Zhiruo’s, but Princess Jingning could fight Leng Zhiruo to a draw. It was definitely not just because of the support of the ferghana horse.

Leng Zhiruo was a little anxious. When she turned the corner, she lost control of her movements. Although she adjusted in time, she still lost points.

In comparison, Princess Jingning fought steadily. It could be seen that her mentality was really good.

The second group was Miss Wang and Lu Ying.

Miss Wang got a C, and Lu Ying got a D.

The highest results in the next few groups were C.

It was Princess Hui An’s turn. With her was a daughter with the surname Zheng.

Princess Hui An was a little stupid in her studies, but her riding skills were not fake. It was Xiao Zhonghua who taught her step by step, so she got a B. Currently, the one with the best result was Jingning with a B+.

Next was Leng Zhiruo’s B and Princess Hui An’s B.

The last group was Su Xiaoxiao and Princess Lingxi.

Originally, Princess Lingxi had drawn the third last group. She had found someone to change it.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t care.

Guo Lingxi looked at Su Xiaoxiao’s mount coldly. “This is a horse my brother gave to Princess Hui An. What right do you have to ride it?”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly. “I’ll ride it. If you’re not convinced, come and hit me.”

Guo Lingxi gritted her teeth in anger.

“Don’t think you can beat me just because you’re riding the same horse as me! I mounted a horse at the age of seven and have ridden more horses than you’ve walked! It’s just right for you to use this horse, lest people think I won unfairly!”

Wasn’t it better to use horses of the same breed to crush someone to highlight her strength?

Wei Ting waved his hand, and the young eunuch at the side sounded the gong and drum.

After the two of them checked the horse and saddle, they flipped over and rushed out like arrows.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t come to the palace to learn much, so she attended even fewer riding and archery classes. In everyone’s impression, her riding skills were average, and her archery skills weren’t stunning.

Against Princess Lingxi, she would most likely be insta-killed.

However, who asked her to snatch Wei Ting from Princess Lingxi? Who asked her to whip Princess Lingxi?

It would be strange if Princess Lingxi could take this lying down.

“It’s over, it’s over, it’s over.” Princess Hui An looked at Guo Lingxi, who was in the lead, and worried for her sidekick.

“Guo Lingxi, you bastard. If you have the ability, compete with me! What’s wrong with bullying a girl who has never learned how to ride a horse?”

Su Xiaoxiao grew up in the countryside. When she first took riding lessons, she didn’t even know how to pick a horse.

Princess Hui An covered her eyes.

She didn’t dare to look anymore. Her sidekick was going to lose!

The first fence was right in front of them.

Guo Lingxi clamped her legs on the horse’s abdomen, raised the reins, and leaped over!

THUD!

The sound of hooves landed on the ground.

But it wasn’t hers.

Instead—

Guo Lingxi felt her eyes flicker as a black shadow flashed past.

Impossible!

She had clearly left her far behind. When did she catch up?

“Ah! Look! It’s Miss Suls horse!” Lu Ying exclaimed.

For the first fence, Su Xiaoxiao surpassed Guo Lingxi by half a body length.

On the second fence, Su Xiaoxiao was a horse’s distance ahead.

The third fence was the highest. Many horses had stage fright here. They either slowed down on the spot or circled around.

Su Xiaoxiao jumped up in one go. At that moment, the scene seemed to have frozen.

“She… she jumped so high…” Lu Ying stammered.

The three students who had obtained B just now had all crossed all the fences, but each of their horses could only jump to the height of Su Xiaoxiao and her mount.

Lu Hui said awkwardly, “Just now, Teacher Wei seemed to have leaped so high as well… Heavens… Did Miss Su really learn to ride a horse after coming to the capital..

The woman and horse landed bravely.

Her robe was blown up by the cold wind and fluttered on the horse’s back.

Her eyes were focused and determined, and her entire body emitted endless heroic spirit.

Everyone felt their blood boil!

Wei Ting watched her from afar as she dashed toward him. She was the only one left in his eyes.

Guo Lingxi’s condition was affected. When she crossed the third fence, the horse had stage fright.

In the end, she only got a C-.

And Su Xiaoxiao’s almost-perfect performance received a well-deserved A+ !
