Just like last time, Shen Junzhuo took Prince Rui by his collar and peeled him off. He pointed at the snorting horse standing beside him and said:
"Yes, the good horse sent by Dawan can easily travel thousands of miles. Your Highness can touch it."
As expected, King Rui stepped forward and stretched out his hand to touch the horse. The horse was breathing heavily, and its huge head was nodding up and down, seeming a little anxious. Before his hand could touch it, the horse's head suddenly
Raising it, King Rui immediately shrank back in fright.
Shen Junzhuo tightened the reins of the horse, patted the horse's neck affectionately, smoothed the mane a few times, looked at Prince Rui and said:
"Your Highness, don't be afraid of it. Animals are also spiritual. If you are afraid of it, it will bully you even more. If you are more powerful than it, it will obey you."
King Rui listened with a solemn face, nodded, and plucked up the courage to step forward. Just as he was about to touch the horse's head, the horse suddenly snorted. King Rui's hand was instantly retracted, and his face suddenly turned pale.
White.
He quickly glanced at Shen Junzhuo, forced a smile, and took another step forward. This time he finally touched the horse's mane. It was not as hard as he thought, and even felt a little soft. Once, twice.
, he gently stroked the horse's mane. When he really touched it, he realized that this horse was not that scary.
Shen Junzhuo didn't have the patience to take care of the child. Seeing that he was getting close to the horse, he threw the reins in his hand to the little eunuch who ran over and said:
"Your Highness will get familiar with the horse first. After a while, it will be fitted with a saddle. Your Highness will go up and give it a try."
King Rui turned around and responded with a smile, and Shen Junzhuo let them lead the horse to the middle of the shooting range, while he found a shaded place to stand and watch.
After a while, his ears twitched, he turned around and looked back, and saw a large number of people dressed in fine clothes walking towards this side. At the head was a shoulder carriage with a tall canopy on top. It was Liu.
The queen and her party.
He stood there and watched quietly, waiting for those people to approach.
The sun was very bright, shining dazzlingly on the canopy. Under the grand pomp of a group of people, Queen Liu looked even more graceful and noble on her shoulder. She was getting closer and closer to him, and she could clearly see the riding attire he was wearing today.
It's still the usual black, with gold threads still used to outline the cloud patterns on it, and the lower body exposed to the sun is shining with little bits of light, but it's more neat and capable, outlining the ape's back, peaks and waist, and his complexion is like jade, but his eyes are still cold.
.
When the shoulder carriage arrived at the entrance of the riding and shooting range, it was slowly put down without entering. Empress Liu sat firmly on it and looked at Shen Junzhuo. Shen Junzhuo then walked out and stood a dozen steps away from the carriage.
He stopped, knelt down, and said loudly:
"I pay my respects to the saint. The saint is a thousand years old!"
A smile broke out on Queen Liu's face, she straightened up and said:
"Shen Qing, please get up quickly. I heard that King Rui is coming to learn riding and shooting from you, so I wanted to come over and have a look. How is it? How is King Rui's learning?"
Shen Junzhuo stood up from the ground, lowered his head slightly and did not look at her, only replied:
"Back to the saint, King Rui has just started to learn. It's too early to say anything now. It will take some time to see."
Empress Liu nodded, raised her hand to move it, and a palace maid came up from behind, holding a tray covered with bright red silk, and on top of the silk was a neatly stacked piece of clothing.
Queen Liu said:
"There is a ceremony for apprenticeship among the people. Our officials don't know that King Rui has appointed you as a riding and archery master. If the officials know about it, they will definitely receive a large reward." He said, lowering his head and smiling slightly, pointing to the place. The clothes in the tray continued:
"I will not rob the official family. According to the folk customs, if you want to be a disciple, you have to give your master a set of clothes. I will give Shen Qing a set of clothes first, as a way of showing my kindness to King Rui."
