Early the next morning, Emperor Roufu took Jinxiu and Hongyun to the East Gate Foreign Teaching Military Field (training ground). She saw dozens of ministers, family members, servants, etc. coming to practice horse riding.
Seeing the princess coming, everyone else saluted, and Emperor Roufu motioned for everyone to stand down without paying any courtesy. At this time, she saw a group of soldiers riding horses into the teaching field. The leader looked to be in his twenties, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a straight nose, a wide mouth, big earlobes, and was wearing a green riding uniform and black riding boots. , wearing a long sword, riding on a horse without anger and self-power.
At this time, all the cavalry had dismounted, and the leading officer took out the imperial edict and shouted: "The imperial edict has arrived." Everyone present knelt on the ground, and the officer began to read out the edict: "By God, the emperor decreed that in order to complete the transfer of the capital as soon as possible , everyone must learn to ride a horse within twenty days, and leave the capital with the team without making any mistakes. Anyone who violates the order will be punished for disobeying the order and will be severely punished. I admire this." After the reading, the officer said: "Everyone, my name is Tang Feng is our chief riding instructor. I am acting on orders, and please cooperate with me in my work." Then he ordered the guards: "Bring the horses." The guards brought the horses, and Tang Feng began to teach. He said, "When mounting the horses, Hold the reins with both hands, step on the stirrup with one foot first, and cross the horse's back with the other leg, then you can ride on it. Then, hold the reins with both hands, step on the stirrups with both feet, and tighten the legs on the horse's belly, so that even if The horse will not fall even on the bumpy road." After finishing speaking, Tang Feng got on his horse and ran around the training field as a demonstration.
Then he ordered everyone to start practicing. After hearing the order, everyone began to practice. Emperor Roufu was also ready to mount the horse to practice, but the horse was too high for her to get on. Upon seeing this, Jinxiu found Tang Feng, saluted and said: "General Tang, I am the maid of Emperor Roufu. , these horses are relatively tall, and Her Highness the Princess cannot get up." After hearing this, Tang Feng hurriedly came to the side of Emperor Roufu: "I am paying homage to the Princess, and it is a dereliction of duty not to prepare suitable horses for Your Highness. I hope Your Highness will forgive me." Emperor Roufu replied: "General Tang, we have never met. You don't know my situation, so it makes sense that you didn't prepare a suitable horse." Tang Feng turned around and ordered: "Come here, give the princess a new one." A suitable horse." When the guard went to lead the horse, Tang Feng began to look at Emperor Roufu: he saw that she had jet black hair, eyes like black gems, fair skin, tall figure, and was wearing a red horse-riding dress. The clothes and black riding boots give people a bright feeling.
After a while, the guards brought a shorter maroon horse. Emperor Roufu got on the horse and started practicing according to Professor Tang Feng's instructions. Seeing that she had already started practicing, Tang Feng said: "Princess, if you don't have any other instructions, I have resigned from my humble position." Emperor Roufu replied, "You can go down first.
