Su Xiaoxiao left.

She glanced back at the Grand Empress Dowager, who was surrounded by her attendants.

Her expression carried a faint trace of sorrow and loneliness.

Suddenly, being the Grand Empress Dowager seems pitiable too.

......

The afternoon was dedicated to riding and archery lessons.

After the incident the day before, the grassland had been reinforced with additional guards and imperial experts.

The horses were no longer allowed to be chosen freely, each person was assigned one at random, including the two princesses.

Furthermore, since the former instructor had been dismissed by Xiao Chonghua, everyone was wondering who the new teacher would be.

When the new teacher rode into the riding arena with unparalleled grace, everyone present was stunned.

The man was dressed in deep blue martial attire, his features sharp and cold, his posture upright and imposing.

With a face that could topple cities and captivate nations, his brow carried a hint of arrogance that seemed to look down upon the world.

If it wasn’t Wei Ting, who else could it be?

Su Xiaoxiao: "Huh?"

Princess Hui’an and County Princess Lingxi couldn’t take their eyes off him.

They were utterly thrilled.

"Ting gege*!"

*gege (哥哥) : Older brother

Princess Hui’an swiftly mounted her horse and immediately urged it into a gallop toward Wei Ting.

Not to be outdone, County Princess Lingxi also raised her whip and chased after him.

Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes.

County Princess Jingning let out a disdainful snort.

Perhaps the only woman in the entire capital who remained utterly unmoved by Wei Ting’s charm was Princess Jingning.

Many of the young noblewomen present also blushed slightly.

Su Xiaoxiao gave the crowd a look of mild exasperation.

Can’t you all be a little more loyal? You were swooning over Su Mo a few days ago, and now you’ve shifted your affections to Wei Ting?

Admiration was one thing, but who would dare to compete with a noble princess or a county princess for his affection?

They could only satisfy their eyes from afar.

That being said, why was Wei Ting here? Could he truly be the new riding and archery teacher?

Su Xiaoxiao was likewise puzzled.

Wasn't this guy supposed to be under house arrest for a month by the emperor's order?

How could he have been released after a few days?

Emperor Jingxuan had not intended to release him either, but he couldn't say no after Wei Ting had Eunuch Yu send an eloquently convincing handwritten letter.

In the letter, Wei Ting expressed deep (and insincere) regret for hurting Qin Jiang.

As a subject, he claimed that it was his responsibility to share the emperor's burdens.

After learning that the palace academy had recently dismissed an archery and riding teacher, he offered to recommend a riding and archery genius who was even more accomplished than Qin Canglan, based on the Wei family's century-old reputation.

Emperor Jingxuan approved.

But when the emperor saw Wei Ting standing before him, he was utterly exasperated!

Do you…… even have any shame left?

A ruler’s word was binding. Emperor Jingxuan couldn’t reverse his own decree without losing dignity.

And so, the scene unfolded as it did.

Princess Hui'an and County Princess Lingxi were unable to run up to Wei Ting because they were stopped by imperial guards who followed closely behind.

Emperor Jingxuan had issued strict orders prohibiting unauthorized horse racing.

The two returned to the group, frustrated.

Wei Ting led his horse to the front of the crowd, stopping just in front of Su Xiaoxiao, whether on purpose or not.

His eyes did not linger on her, so everyone assumed he had just chosen a random location.

Wei Ting was not a nobleman concerned with reputation; he was notoriously ill-tempered, showing no respect to princesses, let alone the daughters of powerful families.

At his command to mount, the young noblewomen obediently climbed onto their horses.

Su Xiaoxiao, however, took her time leisurely inspecting her saddle.

Lin Ruyue couldn't help but snicker. "Miss Su, Teacher Wei instructed everyone to mount their horses. Are you deaf, or did you simply not hear?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that Leng Zhiruo hadn’t mounted her horse either.

Wei Ting, seated tall on his gorgeous stallion, spoke with stern authority.

"Everyone, except Miss Su and Miss Leng, failed to inspect the saddle before mounting. Horse stance for an hour!"

Everyone: "……!!"
