Rebirth of the Exclusive Herbalist

The group marched through the downtown area and went out of the city to the largest horse farm in the suburbs of Beijing. This horse farm was a place where the princes and nobles of the capital went to ride horses and have fun. Almost all the fine horses there were privately fostered.

On the way, Princess Xinrou talked about her little leopard horse with great interest. Su Qingqi listened with fascination. Didn’t Princess Xinrou just break up? Isn’t this too fast?

When they arrived, Hu Yang, the person in charge of the horse farm, came out to greet everyone. Su Qingqi and Princess Xinrou got off the carriage. Before she could properly experience the ancient aristocratic horse farm, Chu Yi came over.

“Miss Su San, the Marquis wants you to come over.”

Princess Xinrou saw this and winked at her: “It seems that I can’t teach you how to ride a horse!” Then she ran away to the stable to find her little leopard horse.

The corner of Su Qingqi’s mouth twitched. This Princess Xinrou is really unreliable!

“Third sister, Lord Chu is an excellent rider. Your elder sister and I feel relieved to have him guide you.” After his younger sister left, Zhao Xiran, as the elder brother, also left her to Lord Chu.

A man’s possessiveness is very scary, and Zhao Xiran, as a man, has a deep understanding of this.

Lord Chu’s carriage was specially made, and one could get on and off the carriage directly in a wheelchair, which was very convenient. Su Qingqi observed curiously for a while and couldn’t help but secretly admire the wisdom of the ancients.

As soon as he got off the carriage, Lord Chu saw the graceful Su Qingqi standing in front of him. His eyes flashed, and his gaze was fixed on her light blue riding suit and the lovely pigtail behind her head. He didn’t expect that Ah Qi was only fifteen years old but had such a graceful figure.

Lord Chu was very satisfied and asked with a smile: “Aqi, can you ride a horse?”

In fact, he had already memorized Su Qingqi’s information by heart; otherwise, he would not have dropped his work and followed her when he learned that his future daughter-in-law was going to the horse farm.

“I can’t.” Su Qingqi shook her head, walked to his side in small steps, and naturally took over Chu Yi’s job—helping Lord Chu push the wheelchair.

“I have a few horses fostered at the stable. If Ah Qi wants to learn, I will teach you.” Lord Chu paused, then spoke again. Even if he couldn’t go into battle himself, he could still provide guidance from the side. With Chu Yi and Chu Er following them, there was no need to worry about their safety.

Su Qingqi knew that when Lord Chu’s legs were intact, his riding skills were top-notch, and it would be good to have him teach her, but she was a little afraid. When she was in Jiangnan, her stepmother Han also asked someone to teach her, but her body had not yet recovered and she had a congenital illness, so her stepmother did not force her.

Speaking of which, as the legal mother, Han was very concerned about the education of her two illegitimate daughters.

Now that her health has recovered, she is somewhat tempted by Lord Chu’s proposal.

“good.”

Lord Chu’s mouth curled up slightly, and he was in a good mood: “Let’s go to the stable to choose horses!”

After he finished speaking, Chu Yi immediately called over the horse servants, and they went to the place where Lord Chu kept his horses. Looking at the rows of fine horses living in the stables with red walls and bricks, Su Qingqi was completely speechless.

The horses of noble families live in better places than those of ordinary people.

Lord Chu looked at Su Qingqi and smiled gently: “Ah Qi, go and see which horse you like?”

Su Qingqi nodded and walked towards the stable with some excitement. The servants in the stable all saluted Su Qingqi respectfully and then stepped aside.

There were not many horses in the stable, just a few of different colors. She looked back and forth at three of them, which were either pure white or pure red. As for the other two brown and black horses, Su Qingqi didn’t like them.

“Aqi, that white snow lion is good. It’s very smart and docile, and it’s suitable for people who are riding a horse for the first time.” Seeing that Aqi was hesitant to make a choice, Lord Chu gave some advice.

Su Qingqi thought it made sense. She also liked the tall horse named Snow Lion. The horse was very beautiful, with a snow-white body and shiny, clean fur. Especially its eyes, which looked gentle.

“This is a snow lion.”

The stable boy immediately opened the stable and led the snow lion out.

As soon as the snow lion came out, it walked up to Su Qingqi, leaned forward with its long horse face, and then stretched out its tongue to lick her face…

Su Qingqi carefully avoided the horse’s face, tentatively reached out and touched its smooth fur, then moved on to its face. The snow lion was very docile, and it let her touch it.

“My lord, this snow lion is so well-behaved!” Su Qingqi was surprised.

The snow lion snorted, nudged her hand with its head, and licked it. It felt a little itchy, and Su Qingqi couldn’t help laughing.

Lord Chu looked at her happy expression with a smile on his lips and asked, “Do you want to try riding it?”

“good!”

After the horse servant put the saddle and stirrups on the snow lion, Su Qingqi excitedly led the snow lion to the stables.

Lord Chu motioned Chu Er to go to Su Qingqi, and Chu Yi pushed Lord Chu to follow.

After passing the grove, they arrived at the racecourse.

There were not many princes and nobles on the racecourse at that time, but Su Qingqi, who was holding the snow lion, saw her second sister galloping on the horse with a heroic and graceful posture.

And a close acquaintance of hers who races horses together—Prince Li Chan.

The two get along very naturally and harmoniously.

Su Qingqi looked at Princess Xinrou, who was riding a horse not far away with some worry, and found that Princess Xinrou didn’t seem to care about the two people but was riding her horse at will.

“……”Her worries seemed unnecessary!

As for Princess Yaru, who was surrounding her brother-in-law, Su Qingqi just glanced at her and didn’t pay attention to her. Anyway, her brother-in-law knew his limits. She was now worried about how to get on the horse.

The stirrups were too high. Was she supposed to climb up by holding onto the saddle? That was too embarrassing! She hadn’t expected to run into a problem right at the beginning.

Glancing at the people around her, Su Qingqi had no choice but to ask Lord Chu for help, feeling a little ashamed. She approached Lord Chu and asked in a low voice, embarrassed.

“My Lord, how do we get on this horse?”

Lord Chu’s mouth twitched slightly, and he asked Chu Yi to demonstrate. Su Qingqi stared with wide eyes at Chu Yi as he lightly raised his foot to find the stirrup, then jumped onto the horse’s back with a calm and graceful posture.

“Aqi, did you see clearly?”

Su Qingqi nodded frustratedly. She saw it clearly, but she couldn’t do it. She never liked sports and had very little athletic ability. Was she really going to embarrass herself in public?

“Give it a try, ok?” Lord Chu said with an encouraging look on his face.

“Hehe…forget it. I’ll just take the snow lion for a stroll.” Su Qingqi touched the snow lion’s head, smiled dryly, and avoided the gaze of Lord Chu.

She is not mentally prepared yet!

At this time, her second sister, Su Qinghan, and Li Can were riding horses towards her.

“Third sister, it’s really you. I thought I was seeing things. I didn’t expect you to come to the racecourse too. How about we have a race together as sisters?”

Su Qinghan’s clear and surprised voice came from far away, immediately attracting the attention of everyone on the racecourse.

“…” Su Qingqi really wanted to scold her. Knowing that she couldn’t ride a horse at all, she still wanted to run a race with her. Haha, what was her intention… It’s better not to say it!
