Zhong Miao Yi turned her head away, not wanting to be seen by him.

For no other reason than that he was the first person who was willing to believe in her.

"You. You still have other business to attend to, don't you? " Zhong Miao Yi took a deep breath, and when she looked back at him again, a smile had already hung on her face.

Hearing Zhong Miao Yi's reminder, Tang Yao clenched his left fist and raised it to her right hand. "I almost forgot."

After bidding farewell to Zhong Miao Yi, he walked out. Halfway there, he returned and sincerely said, "You must remember to wipe the medicine, otherwise it will hurt. You must remember to wipe the medicine!"

When Zhong Miao Yi returned to her room, she grabbed Tang Yao's ointment and rolled up her pants legs. Sure enough, his knees had turned completely purple. The ointment felt cool and comfortable as it was rubbed against his knees.

There was a horse race tomorrow, so everyone was picking their horses today, training in the open field not far from the villa. Zhong Miao Yi did not go, but in order to avoid Su Zeyi, she had already used every method available to her.

As night fell, the surroundings became quiet.

Zhong Miao Yi sat on the bed and couldn't sleep.

When she first entered the palace, she had been unable to sleep soundly. She had been tossing and turning many times during the night to wake up, and after waking up, she found that she was no longer in Qingge's room.

The summer night sky was the brightest and softest. Ever since she entered the palace, she rarely had the chance to view the night scenery by herself. The warm night wind blew, and when she raised her head, she could see the sky filled with stars.

Zhong Miao Yi sat down on a bench by the side of the corridor. Looking at the resplendent stars in the distance, she felt that in front of the vast sky, her little bit of caution was like the darkest star among all the stars. No one would ever know about it.

Life had taught her too much, but she had been willful and slow to learn.

In the past, she was the most heartless one, but now, she was even more cold and lifeless. The years in her long and lonely palace were like shackles that imprisoned her, and she was completely unable to break free.

Xiao Yao's legs were hurting, and as expected, she hadn't slept much the entire night. When Xiao Yao woke up in the morning to help her dress up, she was shocked: "Princess, why do you look so bad?

"Yes." The cicadas outside are too loud and too noisy. " Zhong Miao Yi yawned, then casually gave a reason.

"But today we are going to the horse race. Princess, you won't be able to ride it." Xiao Yao felt pity for her as she grumbled on her behalf.

Zhong Miao Yi lowered her eyes, remembering some unpleasant memories. She held onto a pair of jasper bracelets for a while, then stood up and walked outside.

On the back of An Ping Manor was a huge hunting ground, where hunting activities were conducted.

By the time she arrived, all sorts of tents of varying sizes had already been set up on the field. From afar, colorful banners were fluttering in the lush greenery, and horses of all colors were valiant and powerful.

From time to time, the servants would ring out a soul-stirring drum. The female servants' laughter and chatter never stopped. It was a scene of a horse race that stirred up the hearts of the people.

She looked for a while before walking to the biggest tent in the center. The empress dowager and the emperor sat together, watching the young men and women outside as they chatted and laughed. The Zhong Miao Yi went up to pay her respects, and the emperor patted her shoulder with interest.

The empress dowager suddenly interjected, "Your majesty, it's better if she doesn't ride."

His words were like a bucket of cold water poured over a hot iron, and the emperor's smile froze on his face as he remembered what happened earlier. He was a little embarrassed as he said, "That's true, you don't look too good either.

Zhong Miao Yi backed away as she saw the most dazzling steed in the center of the field riding a female, it was Yun Mengqi.

She seemed to have just taken the championship of the female division, and was riding her horse in circles proudly. Zhong Miao Yi looked at her for a moment, but did not look any further, and continued to head towards the pavilion.

However, Yun Mengqi had also seen hshe, so she was not that kind to let her go. She rode her horse quickly towards the Zhong Miao Yi, and when Xiao Yao heard the sound of the horse hooves getting closer, he felt that something was wrong. She turned her head to look, and screamed in shock, almost falling down.

Yun Mengqi pulled the reins tightly, and the horse's front hooves suddenly moved to the other side, almost stepping on Zhong Miao Yi's body.

Xiao Yao's screams attracted a lot of attention. When everyone saw Zhong Miao Yi, they all came over as if they were watching a show. Zhong Miao Yi was also shocked, her heart thumped wildly for a long time without recovering.

Yun Mengqi sat on the horse, and condescendingly smiled at her: "Oh, it's Elder Sister Miao Yi, my horse is a little wild, and almost injured Elder Sister."

Yun Mengqi this' elder sister 'sounded smooth, but when Zhong Miao Yi heard it, it made her feel disgusted. She was really angry, "Dismount!"

Yun Mengqi probably did not expect Zhong Miao Yi to order her again, so she pulled on the reins in anger, and the horses started to circle around Zhong Miao Yi: "Dismount?! Are you talking to me? I can't! "How is it?!"

"Did you just want to step over me?" Zhong Miao Yi's face was completely black. She reached out to grab another piece of rope hanging from the horse's neck but Yun Mengqi dodged it and missed her.

She shook her head proudly and smiled coquettishly, "I am not like you, big sister. If you don't know your limits, you would try to force your way out. "Don't you dare put all that shit on my head. I didn't trample anyone to death."

The incident that year had happened so suddenly, it was the horse that had suddenly lost its temper. She had also suffered serious injuries and had barely managed to survive. However, these people had always held on to this matter and would always take it out to chat after dinner if they had nothing to do.

After Yun Mengqi finished speaking, the sounds of laughter came from all directions, causing Yun Mengqi's expression to become even more pleased, she provocatively lifted her chin towards Zhong Miao Yi, where the drum sound once again rang. The second round of the competition was about to begin, Yun Mengqi did not have time to continue fighting with her, turning her horse, and ran far away.

Zhong Miao Yi swallowed her anger all the way down to her stomach. She turned around and continued to walk towards the pavilion.

She already had nothing to lose, so she had nothing to care about.
