At the palace's evening banquet, goblets clinked amid the festivities.
The Eldest Princess tilted her head, glancing at the clearly unenthusiastic Princess Qingyang. "What's wrong with Qinyang today?" she asked with a smile. "You've always loved these lively events. Why are you so listless now?"
Princess Qingyang sighed, casting a mournful glance at Shen Yanchuan, who stood not far away.
"It's all because of Ta Xue. That horse is as stubborn as a mule—impossible to tame!"
Shen Yanchuan had agreed to let her handle Ta Xue, and she had been overjoyed. But several days had passed, and she'd hardly even gotten close to the horse.
She was skilled in archery and horsemanship and had a personality that hated to lose. Faced with a situation like this, she naturally felt indignant.
Unfortunately, Ta Xue was just too difficult to manage, which made even this palace banquet seem dull.
