Chapter Title: The Wonders of Living (1)

Chapter no. 7

(Elizabeth's POV)

It took me six days to completely learn twenty-six books, fourteen scrolls and nine secret books about imperial law and palace etiquette. It feels like studying for college examinations once again. At night, before I go to bed I exercise and condition my body so it will be easier to practice martial arts and weapon wielding once again.

My father is really busy during summer days while my mother takes a full course of managing the household affairs and some of the shops she owns. My eldest brother usually stays in the house for a couple of days before departing as he follows my father or if he is given missions to complete. While my second brother is stationed at the military border along with my second uncle and casually goes home.

I only see the servants and the guards who keep me company most of the time. But those trivial things never bothered me. In the modern world, I was accustomed to independency. And learning new things never bothered nor bored me.

"Lin Sha bring some snacks and water for me. And tell my mother that I will be at the stables finding a good horse. And also tell my mother not to worry, I've already asked father's permission."

"Is young miss planning to ride a horse? But young miss do you know how to ride one? What if you fall again? Master will punish us--"

"Have faith in me, and just do as I say. Lin Tsu, come and follow me to the stables."

I was very excited.

Finally I can ride horses, might as well go to the field of my second uncle where military arrays are arranged for practice. This will be fun.

"Greetings young miss" the soldiers near the stables greeted me and I gave their greetings back

"Lin Tsu, stay here I'd like to look for the person who manages the stables so I can borrow a horse. Do not worry, I will be fine riding one."

I walked inside and talk to the manager of the stables. At first he doesn't want to agree, but on second thought he arranged the soldiers on the field for safety purposes. There are about twenty military soldiers under my uncle's order for residential patrol, while there are about twenty-five family guards. I do not know how many secrets guards my father and my uncle deployed in our residence but this is good.

I picked my father's beloved horse. Among all horses he is well tamed and they've said only my father can ride this one. But due to unknown circumstances the horse allowed me to use him. Really interesting.

With my 5'4 height I can easily position myself on top of the horse. This is a war horse that my father got from the emperor along with my uncles' horses. The emperor must really favor us for gifting imported horses or maybe he's got motives again.

"Young miss please do not run too far, young miss you should be careful not to fall--"

"Elder, you are worrying too much. I'll as much take care of the horse."

After that the horse and I started a slow pacing walk.

"What a lovely horse you are, please take care of me. Do you see those military arrays? I'd like to practice for a while, will you accompany this young miss?"

The horse neighed.

I think it agreed.
