Chapter 100 - Tian Jis Horse Racing I

"Ah Jun... Brother, get up and have breakfast! Hey, why are you still in bed? Thats not him!"

Maybe Im too tired these days... Stop yelling, lets go eat and let Ah Jun rest a little longer!

—Hmm? Whos calling me? Is it Xiao Xi? I can almost hear Ning ers voice... Hehe, Xiao Jiuwo, hello! We finally meet... Haha, huh? Youre really looking forward to this too... Hey, why are you half-covering your face? I cant even see you clearly... Oh, where are you going? Im here... Hey, you love this too, dont you?......haha...

"Brother... brother! Wake up... whats wrong with him? Hes drooling?"

"Ah Jun... Uncle Li has arrived. If we dont arrive in time, well be late!"

—Hey, little dimple, where are you? Where did you go? Hmm... Lan er? Oh, so its Ninger!

"Um? Why are you in my room... What time is it?"

"I said brother, youre in the mani, youre drooling in your dreams--did you... dream about her?"

"Ah Jun... Its 9 oclock. We were supposed to meet the Emperor at 9:30. Uncle Li has been waiting for a long time!"

Oh! Im sorry, I overslept. Wait for me!

"Xiao Xi, Ning Er... Tell me, why did the Emperor invite us here? Could it be to ride horses?"

"Yes, its strange. Look at my uncle. He looks like hes selling some medicine..."

" sh !"

The long-awaited relaxation and timely correspondence left Ah Jun so entranced that he nearly forgot himself in sleep. Of course, the real reason was the dreams overwhelming beauty—time had slipped away like a fleeting moment. Soon, the children followed Uncle Li at a brisk pace to the racetrack where theyd agreed to meet last night, located north of the imperial palace. Everywhere they looked, it was just one word: huge! Two words: absolutely enormous! Three words: Hmm... Lets just imagine for ourselves.

In short, the majesty of the royal family, in addition to luxury and high grade, is just big--on the endless artificial grassland, the horses are running happily, with the blue sky and white clouds, and the brilliant light, it is just a feeling of being on the nomadic grassland.

— Vast skies and endless wilderness, where the wind bends the grass to reveal cattle and sheep... The prairie, where milk wafts in fragrance, and Yili Cows Milk is renowned for its excellence!

In the face of this situation, Ah Jun suddenly remembered a line from a TV advertisement, which was very appropriate, except that here, milk is not produced, only good horses are bred.

On the grassland, the royal familys prized horses were seen galloping and training with joy. These free-roaming steeds were all top-tier specimens—according to Uncle Li, each received dedicated care and fed specially formulated diets, making grass grazing merely a post-meal treat. Moreover, the horses had undergone special conditioning to eat only up to the designated grass height, effectively eliminating the need for mowers altogether.

Even Xiao Xi couldnt help but exclaim that this level of stinginess was even more extreme than her own mothers, and it was a perfect two birds with one stone. It wouldve been a real shame if the inventor of that creative invention didnt become a professional manager at their company. But then again, he knew they couldnt afford to hire him—after all, it was the Holy Queen!

"Why do those horses look like dumplings?"

"Hey... No wonder most of these horses here are Da Yuans finest steeds, perfect for military use. But I heard there are some more prized white horses—those legendary breeds like the White Moonlight and Red Hare (Hanshui Baima and Chitu), which are pure top-tier rarities! Though lets be real... we probably wont get to see those elite horses..."

"Xiao Xi, youre absolutely right. BMW is so precious that the royal family treasures it, so it needs extra care!"

The children were strolling around with Uncle Li, watching and chatting. There were 10 minutes left before the appointed time, so they stayed on the vast racetrack, enjoying the rare spectacle and listening to Xiao Xi, who explained the unique features of the place to everyone. It was quite pleasant!

Speaking of this chubby boy, dont let his mediocre grades and small eyes fool you—hes obsessed with games and food, but he knows all the gossip inside out. Even Ah Jun, a book lover, admires him.

Of course, Xiao Xis wonderful speech could occasionally get some affirmation from Ning er, so she was even more energetic. As the saying goes, self-satisfaction is a good thing.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The Princess and the Prince of Law are here!"

"Hey, children, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"Um!"

"How come hes here too? Hmph... Its all the boys fault. Hes the one whos keeping me from sleeping!"

After a while, the hosts finally arrived at the racetrack on schedule. The scene remained unchanged: only the gracious Emperor greeted everyone with warm conversation, while the Empress maintained her stern demeanor, watching over Ah Jun and his companions. When the young princess spotted Ah Jun, her smile vanished instantly. She turned her face away, glaring at him with a pout, her eyes fixed on the boy as if demanding retribution. Yet she appeared somewhat drowsy in the process.

— Hmm... Dont say anything. She looks so cute now! Is she having trouble adjusting to waking up early? Yeah... Yun er really loves sleeping in on weekends... Oh well, shes in a tough spot!

"Ah Jun... Brother, oh no! Look at that—whats going on here? The suns rising from the west today... Wait, doesnt it look like its setting again?"

"What are you talking to yourself about?"

Hey, how come your 5.0 vision is worse than mine? Look there, see that? Thats the blood-sweating horse I just mentioned!

As for Ah Jun, he was, of course, the same as always, distracted again, until Xiao Xi woke him up, and he looked in the direction — and saw, not far away, a trainer in royal work clothes, leading a horse, coming towards the children.

The leading horse was handsome and scholarly, with white fur and a tall stature of more than seven feet. Was this the world-famous Red Hare?

Ah... Oops, I misread it, haha... Turns out my eyesight is still poor. Thats the legendary Qianli—Ning er! Look, thats the imperial couples chariot—the Qianli, the legendary horse. Thanks to you, I finally got to see something truly extraordinary today!

"Xiao Xi... theres more than just this horse? Look behind..."

"Hey? Oh... Got it. Haha, forgot to bring the frameless camera. I was wondering why theres no optical zoom. Hmm... Alright, now my vision can be adjusted to 5.0. Ugh... Thats it! Whats going on?"

Well, children are children. When they see something rare, they are always curious. But what made Xiao Xi even more curious was that suddenly three fine horses came. What? The sun is still in the east!

Come on, come on, come on, children, you try first, get used to it. Wait, Ill take you to the Heavenly Beast Royal Shipping Center, where the Air Force will escort you home for the Spring Festival!

—Oh, so this is why His Majesty summoned us today... Hmm, shes truly kind—affectionate, attentive, and down-to-earth, completely unpretentious, just like a family uncle... Sigh, how can there be such a huge gap between the two Sovereigns living under the same roof... Queen, why are you still so stern with me? Could it be because of the previous quarrel? Hmm, the little princesss dress today is too short. Isnt it chilly? Girls shouldn t freeze themselves over vanity—it could lead to chronic illnesses. Should I...

"Hmm... what are you looking at? Why are you staring at me again?"

"Well... oh, no-its so cold today, and your skirt is so short, youll catch a cold..."

"How could I? Im wearing pantyhose—no, you... Look where youre staring, you pervert! Watch out for my eyeballs..."

" All right !"

Mother... Hmph, a good girl doesnt fight with a man. Brother Lu, come with me to see the shadow soon. Its been a long time since Ive seen it!

 

—How could I have said that again? Oh, meddling, now its even more unclear... I need to find a way to explain this, hmm... Never mind, Ill talk about it later!

Although it was well-intentioned, there was still prejudice, so Ah Juns behavior and words offended the girl again. Then, the calm of the little princess was broken, and the two quarreled again.

Fortunately, the Queen intervened, forcing her to give up. Then she pulled Yuwen Lu away from Ajuns sight, thinking it best to keep it out of sight. Im in a good mood, so I dont feel like arguing with you!

So, after nodding to Ah Jun and his gang, Yuwen Lu was ready to leave. Although he felt that Ah Juns behavior was indeed a little inappropriate, Yuwen Lu was more mature in his heart, so he could understand a little of Ah Juns good heart and instinct.

Come on! Tian Ji, explain it to the children!

Yes, Your Grace, please mount. This is a special carriage prepared for you!

Tian Ji, the horse trainer, had brought three steeds. Before Ning er stood a pale blue steed named Shuangjiang. Though smaller in stature, it radiated the most vitality. Its hair shimmered with a faint blue glow, paired with a slender frame, a blue tail, and mane. The pair of cold, almond-shaped eyes that arched upward added an air of aloof elegance. The entire creature exuded a celestial aura, perfectly matching the saintly maidens aura!

Come, Xiao Jun, you try this horse..."

Me? Hmm... Thank you, Your Majesty, but I cant ride a horse!

"Ha! So you cant even ride a horse? What a failure!"

"Hey, dont be so happy!"

Oh! So... well, thats even better. Come on!

Just as Ning er arrived beside her BMW and was about to get familiar with it, the Emperor suddenly appeared in front of Ah Jun. However, due to the childs physical condition, he had never ridden a horse before, and now he suddenly wanted to practice, which made Ah Jun a little hesitant.

— I really want to give it a try. Ive read so many textbooks and know the general steps, so I think I can practice... But this horse is so tall and strong, and Ive never ridden one before. What if I fall? What if the horse doesnt obey? And how do I even get on it?

Hey, you mustn t be serious, you havent even ridden a horse... Brother Lu, look at him, haha!

" hello ..."

"Xiao Jun, why dont you try it? This horse is extraordinary..."

Oh! Ah Jun, I know now — Hey, whats going on? Turns out its not a thousand miles!

"Well... not too bad, but youre only half right-it may not be a thousand miles, but it can go a thousand miles..."

"Is it true... can it travel a thousand miles a day? How can there be other horses besides the BMW... I cant tell!"

"Um... its Nianxing—Xiaojun, its called Xiaoliqian. Dont let its thin arms, average-sized body, small eyes, and bald head fool you... Oh no!"

At this moment, looking at the child a little dazed, the emperor personally brought the horse, encouraged A Jun in a low voice, and introduced the horse in front of him.

As the Emperor was explaining the details with great care, the horse beside him seemed a little unhappy. The little Qianli shook his tail and lightly hit the commentators buttocks. It seemed to understand human language and reminded others of the way to use words.

Oh, no, thats not true, good, good, good... Children, this little thousand-mile horse, although very ordinary, but it has a very good advantage-anyone who can not ride a horse, as long as it, guaranteed safe practice and quickly learned!

The Emperor then patiently continued his explanation, hoping to dispel the childs doubts. The royal family had bred many specialized horses, including a breed specifically designed for beginners. Riding these horses offered not only safety but also practical guidance, allowing newcomers to master riding skills through hands-on practice and become entry-level riders. Among these horses, Little Qianli stood out as the top performer, though it was no sprinter—more like a leisurely wanderer accustomed to unhurried pursuits!

"So, should I try it?"

"Well... thank you, Your Majesty. Id like to try!"

"Good! Come, Tian Ji, you take the children to get familiar with it!"

" yes !"

"Well... well, uncle, what about me?"

With the saints guidance and support, Ah Jun gradually opened his heart and gathered the courage to try the challenge. Meanwhile, the saintess had already mounted her horse and prepared to ride, which clearly showed that she was no novice!

However, there was another problem, that is, Xiao Xi, who was standing on the side and talking a lot, was obviously ignored--at this moment, he was staring blankly at the front, suddenly, his little eyes narrowed, and then he thought of himself.

No, then... what about my horse?"

"Your... your horse is not there!"

Haha... Hey! What? Youve even forgotten your own horse!

"Ah! Youre meddling... Where is it? Oh... Ha? Its the horse I rode before—yes, that one—but... I dont want it!"
