I just want to live a good life

The day of horse racing finally arrived amid Su Nuan's anxiety.

The carriage from the Prince's Mansion carried Su Nuan and Mu Yunting slowly forward.

"are you uncomfortable?"

Mu Yunting asked Su Nuan as the carriage had just driven out of the city gate.

Su Nuan hesitated for a moment and replied, "I'm not feeling unwell."

Mu Yunting just looked at her and said nothing more.

Not long after leaving the city gate, the carriage quickly drove into an open space. Su Nuan looked through the window and guessed that this was the so-called horse farm. She couldn't help but feel nervous again.

Sure enough, after driving for a while, we saw many people gathered on a makeshift stand.

The carriage stopped in front of the stands, and people who recognized the carriage from the Prince's Mansion gathered around.

Mu Yunting got off the carriage first. When Su Nuan got off behind him, she accidentally stepped on the hem of Mu Yunting's clothes, slipped, and fell forward.

She was about to fall to the ground, but at the critical moment, Mu Yunting made a beautiful turn and caught her steadily.

Everyone present was stunned at first, and then a whisper broke out.

When the women standing in the crowd saw this scene, their faces darkened at the same time.

"Your Highness doesn't dislike women, so why is he so close to this Concubine Xia?"

"The Emperor arranged this marriage for Your Highness in order to continue the family line, so naturally the two of them should be closer."

"Even so, there's no need to do this in public!"

"It's possible that the two of them fell in love with each other over time."

"How could that be? Young Master Lou is here today. If Your Highness had fallen in love with someone else, why would he have invited him to the scene?"

"Look, Mr. Lou doesn't look happy right now!"

"Is it possible that His Highness is having a quarrel with Young Master Lou and is deliberately using Concubine Xia to anger him?"

"What you said is wrong. Didn't you look carefully just now? It was Concubine Xia who deliberately pounced on Your Highness, just for us to see."

"..."

Su Nuan felt a little aggrieved by the whispers that kept coming into her ears. In the eyes of these people, she was just a concubine competing with men for favor, and the key was that she couldn't win.

She turned her head and glanced at the crowd, and saw Lou Guang standing in the stands looking over here.

"You can go down now."

Just as Su Nuan was trying to understand the meaning in Lou Guang's eyes, Mu Yunting's cold voice sounded above her head.

Su Nuan's face turned red, and she quickly struggled to get up from Mu Yunting's arms.

Just when Su Nuan was feeling embarrassed, a beautiful woman ran up to her and took her hand.

"I said I would visit you at the Prince's Mansion after the horse race was over. I didn't expect you to come and watch the race."

The woman's pleasant voice rang out.

Su Nuan recognized that this person was Xia Qingyan’s best friend Cui Ruyi, and she was looking for her, so she started chatting with Cui Ruyi enthusiastically.

It turned out that Cui Ruyi sent a message saying that she had to go out of the city for something urgent, and it was for today's horse racing competition. Because Cui Ruyi admired the second prince, and heard that he was going to hold a horse racing competition outside the city, she brought her own horse to sign up.

Su Nuan didn't expect Cui Ruyi to be such a straightforward person. She didn't hesitate at all when talking about her admiration for the second prince.

"By the way, how have you been living since you married the prince? Is the rumor that the prince is a homosexual true or false?" Cui Ruyi asked seriously.

Su Nuan was shocked by her bold question. The graceful characteristics of ancient women were not seen in Cui Ruyi at all. At the same time, she was also sure that Cui Ruyi and Xia Qingyan had a really good relationship.

He sighed and replied, "I'm fine, let's not talk about that for now. Are you bringing your horse to compete with me? Are you planning to ride a horse yourself?"

"Of course." Cui Ruyi replied, "I heard that the Crown Prince's Mansion is also participating in the competition. Why don't you try it yourself? Your riding skills are so good. This is a good opportunity to surprise everyone and make those ladies from noble families who covet your Crown Prince retreat."

Su Nuan gave a bitter smile. Regardless of whether Cui Ruyi's logic made sense or not, just talking about riding skills, it was difficult for her to climb onto the horse's back. She was afraid that she would be laughed at by then.

And now it seems that many people know that Xia Qingyan can ride a horse. If Mu Yunting asks her to get on the horse, she will not just make a fool of herself.

It seems that I will really have to pretend to be injured soon!

"Oh, your sweetheart is here today too." Cui Ruyi's voice was a little loud and a little excited, and she pointed her finger into the distance.

Su Nuan almost fainted when she heard that. She looked in the direction where her finger pointed and saw Mu Yunshu walking towards the stands.

She subconsciously looked at Mu Yunting and saw that he was talking to Lou Guang and didn't pay attention to this side. She breathed a sigh of relief and said to Cui Ruyi in a reproachful tone: "Don't talk nonsense, he is not my sweetheart. If others hear this, I will be in trouble."

Cui Ruyi probably realized that she had said the wrong thing and stuck out her tongue at Su Nuan.

"Okay, okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go prepare for the game."

With that, Cui Ruyi left like a gust of wind.

Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief again. She really didn't know what shocking words this woman would say if she stayed any longer.

At this moment, Mu Yunting was already sitting with Lou Guang. Su Nuan didn't know for a moment whether she should go forward and sit with them. While she was hesitating, a groom came over and asked her to prepare for the competition.

Su Nuan wanted to say that she didn't want to go, but when she looked up, she saw Mu Yunting looking over here, so she had no choice but to follow the coachman towards the prince's BMW Linglong.

Linglong is not petite at all, but rather strong and sturdy. Su Nuan looks petite standing next to it.

Su Nuan looked at Linglong for a while, and seeing that it didn't react, she bravely tried to touch its mane.

After several attempts, Su Nuan discovered that Linglong was a horse with a good temper. She suddenly had a bold idea. She wanted to ride on the horse's back to feel it.

Once this idea came to her mind, she couldn't stop herself. She held onto the saddle, recalling the movements of her original self, Xia Qingyan, when she got on the horse. She stepped on the stirrup with her left foot, held the saddle with her right hand, and with a little effort she climbed onto the horse.

In an instant, Su Nuan felt extremely happy.

Sitting on the horse's back, holding the reins in her hands, her body leaned forward instinctively, and she lightly tapped her heels on the horse's belly, then Linglong started moving.

Su Nuan was a little scared, but she chose to trust the instinctive reaction of this body.

After riding around on the horse, Su Nuan’s confidence increased greatly. Judging from the current situation, it would be no problem for her to participate in the competition.

I've been worrying about this for several days, but now it seems that it was completely unnecessary.

Maybe she can really win the championship and get the jade ruyi worth a fortune.

The more she thought about it, the more beautiful it became. Su Nuan unconsciously squeezed the horse's belly. Linglong had gone from walking to trotting, and was running faster and faster.

Gradually, Su Nuan realized that something was wrong, but she didn't know how to get Linglong to stop.

She gripped the reins tightly with her hands and leaned on the horse's back, not daring to move, for fear that she would be thrown out if she lost balance.

As Linglong ran faster and faster, Su Nuan became panicked. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: I want to get off the horse!
