Teach him riding skills?
Yuan Gui's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately nodded with a smile, "Since Your Highness has said so, how dare I disobey!"
Just right, let him see his own riding skills!
Also let him know how poor and useless he is!
If Emperor Wen hadn't bestowed the marriage, Shen Luoyan would surely be his!
Even if he couldn't change the result, he still wanted to slap him hard in the face to vent his anger!
"Then you guys can go. I'm not going!"
Shen Luoyan had no interest in the first place. Seeing that Yun Zheng was still shamelessly insisting on following, she became even less interested.
She didn't want to see Yun Zheng for a moment!
Hearing this, Ye Zi was immediately speechless in her heart and quickly persuaded, "Luoyan, let's just go and relax together. You and Your Highness the Sixth Prince can also take this opportunity to get to know each other better."
Ye Zi was extremely depressed in her heart. She originally didn't want to cause unnecessary speculation for Shen Luoyan, so she took this matter upon herself.
Now that she didn't go, wasn't she selling herself out?
She didn't want to see this useless wretch, did she?
With Shen Luoyan around, at least she would have someone to talk to!
"Yes, yes, let's go together!"
Yuan Gui also joined in the persuasion and said in a strange tone, "We can just enjoy the heroic appearance of Your Highness the Sixth Prince on horseback!"
Hmm?
Shen Luoyan's heart moved slightly, and she glanced at Yun Zheng from the corner of her eye.
Right!
Go and see the "heroic appearance" of this useless wretch.
Hit him hard!
Let him know that she was the daughter of a military family and would always look down on him!
With such thoughts in mind, Shen Luoyan finally nodded and agreed.
Walking out of the Shen family's residence, the servants of the Shen family had already led their horses over.
Yuan Gui intended to show off in front of Yun Zheng. When he got on the horse, he directly did a one-handed horse stance.
What a show-off!
Yun Zheng cursed in his heart but kept praising him, "Sure enough, you deserve to be a Cavalry Captain. Your riding skills are truly superb!"
Yuan Gui smiled smugly, "Your Highness, you'd better get on the horse first!"
As he spoke, Yuan Gui showed a look of waiting to see Yun Zheng make a fool of himself.
"Get down first."
Yun Zheng called to Yuan Gui, "I'll start learning from getting on the horse!"
"Okay!"
Yuan Gui immediately made a beautiful flip and jumped off the horse's back.
Yun Zheng praised him again, but he couldn't stop laughing in his heart.
Show-off, you're going to cry later!
Yuan Gui came to Yun Zheng's side, shook his head and explained the key points to Yun Zheng once, and then asked Yun Zheng to try getting on the horse.
Yun Zheng nodded and immediately started to get on the horse.
However, he tried several times but couldn't get on successfully.
Looking at Yun Zheng's clumsy appearance, the people at the door couldn't bear to watch anymore.
Shen Luoyan was full of disgust and was almost on the verge of directly scolding him as a useless wretch in public!
Even several servants of the Shen family were trying hard to hold back their laughter.
"You... give me a push."
Yun Zheng smiled awkwardly and looked at Yuan Gui a bit embarrassedly.
"Okay, okay..."
Yuan Gui tried hard to hold back his laughter and gently pushed Yun Zheng.
At the moment when he pushed, a sly smile flashed across Yun Zheng's face. He suddenly exerted force with his feet, flipped onto the horse's back, and then rolled down from the other side of the horse.
"Your Highness!"
Zhou Mi and Gao He shouted at the same time. Zhou Mi even made a flying pounce forward and directly lay on the ground under Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng fell straight onto Zhou Mi, causing Zhou Mi to let out a slight muffled groan.
"Haha..."
Seeing Yun Zheng's extremely clumsy appearance, Yuan Gui, who had been trying hard to hold back his laughter, couldn't hold it in anymore and finally burst out laughing.
Shen Luoyan, who had intended to see Yun Zheng make a fool of himself, also laughed along.
However, as he was laughing, Yuan Gui realized something was wrong.
He saw that the people at the door were all staring at him, and their eyes were like looking at an idiot.
Thinking about Yun Zheng's identity, Yuan Gui's heart skipped a beat and he quickly shut up.
"How stupid!"
Ye Zi cursed inwardly with a speechless expression.
Shen Luoyan was the princess of the Sixth Prince. It didn't matter much if she laughed.
But what was Yuan Gui's identity?
The Sixth Prince fell off the horse, and he didn't go to help but just laughed there?
Was he really not afraid of dying too quickly?
She took back her previous evaluation of Yuan Gui.
He wasn't just reckless; he was stupid!
Ye Zi gave Yuan Gui a disdainful look and gently pulled Shen Luoyan beside her, signaling her to restrain herself a little.
"Are you okay?"
Yun Zheng got up and quickly pulled Zhou Mi up as well.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I'm fine."
Zhou Mi patted the dust off his body.
"That's good."
Yun Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and then said to Yuan Gui, "Captain Yuan, next time you push me, don't use so much force."
Use force?
Yuan Gui was slightly stunned.
He didn't use force!
It was just normal strength!
"How dare you, Yuan Gui, push His Highness the Sixth Prince off the horse?"
A sudden angry shout rang in Yuan Gui's ears.
Hearing this, Yuan Gui was startled and quickly and nervously explained, "I... I didn't use force. It was... His Highness the Sixth Prince who accidentally fell off by himself!"
"Bullshit!"
Gao He had a frosty face and said, "Are you saying that His Highness is wrongly accusing you?"
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Yun Zheng quickly came out to smooth things over and said with a smile, "I guess Captain Yuan was also careless and didn't control the strength well. He definitely didn't do it on purpose."
Hearing Yun Zheng's words, Yuan Gui almost jumped up and cursed.
This wasn't smoothing things over!
This was clearly adding fuel to the fire!
Sure enough, upon hearing Yun Zheng's words, the frost on Gao He's and Zhou Mi's faces grew even heavier.
They had already determined that Yuan Gui did it on purpose!
He deliberately wanted to make His Highness the Sixth Prince make a fool of himself in front of Shen Luoyan!
Facing the angry gazes of the two, Yuan Gui couldn't defend himself and quickly cast a pleading look at Shen Luoyan.
Shen Luoyan curled her lips and snorted, "It was originally his poor riding skills that made him fall off the horse..."
"Miss Shen, please pay attention to your identity!"
Gao He looked up at Shen Luoyan, "You will soon be the princess of the Sixth Prince!"
Shen Luoyan choked for a moment and was about to say something else when Ye Zi pulled her back.
Yun Zheng saw this and couldn't help but secretly nod in approval.
Gao He had a good sense of propriety!
What Gao He wanted to say was also what he wanted to say.
"Forget it, forget it!"
Yun Zheng waved his hand and then said to Gao He and Zhou Mi, "I'll let you two teach me horse riding later. Let's go. We won't go and join in the fun."
As he spoke, Yun Zheng tried to get on the horse again.
Although he was still clumsy this time, no one dared to laugh anymore.
Gao He and Zhou Mi both gave Yuan Gui a cold look and then quickly got on their horses.
After simply saying goodbye to Shen Luoyan, Yun Zheng rode away on his horse. He also didn't forget to tell Gao He and Zhou Mi, "Father Emperor's temper hasn't been good recently. You mustn't tell Father Emperor about this matter. Otherwise, Father Emperor might be so angry that he'll behead Captain Yuan."
Damn it!
I'll either beat you to death or scare you to death, you bastard!
Hurry up and ask your father to bring nice gifts to apologize!
Yun Zheng's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and Yuan Gui could hear every word clearly.
Yuan Gui was almost scared to death and directly sat down on the ground with a plop.
"Yuan Gui, you're really out of line!"
Shen Luoyan glared at Yuan Gui, "No matter how useless he is, he's still the current prince! Pushing the prince off the horse, to put it mildly, is disrespectful, and to put it seriously, it's an attempt to murder the prince!"
Attempt to murder the prince?
Hearing Shen Luoyan's words, Yuan Gui was almost scared to pee his pants.
"I didn't use force at all! He really accidentally fell off by himself!"
Yuan Gui wailed loudly and climbed up with trembling legs.
"I know you wanted to make him look bad and vent my anger for me."
Shen Luoyan shook her head gently, "His Majesty has already issued the imperial decree for the marriage. I'll soon be the princess of the Sixth Prince. For the sake of avoiding suspicion, you'd better not come to our house anymore..."
"I..."
Yuan Gui was on the verge of crying and kept wailing in his heart.
He really didn't use force!
Why doesn't anyone believe me?
What should I do?
What should I do now?
If His Majesty finds out about this, he might really behead me!
The more Yuan Gui thought about it, the more scared he became. He didn't care to say more to Shen Luoyan and quickly got on his horse and galloped home.
Looking at Yuan Gui's disappearing back, Ye Zi couldn't help but start thinking secretly...
