Prodigious Princess Qin Zetian - Chapter 6

(Qin Lushan’s POV)

“Why is your residence so silent?” the fifth prince Wang Shaoxi asked as we entered Qin Family’s residence.

The third prince Wang Ximen, fourth prince Wang Yuanzhen, fifth prince Wang Shaoxi and second princess Wang Roushi accompanied me home. They said they are too bored to stay in the palace. I agreed since they are very close with my eldest sister who became the emperor’s favored concubine and I.

“I don’t know, my mom’s super busy at the moment and I do not know my sister’s whereabouts. While my father is usually at the court attending matters of the court.”

“Lushan we must meet your sister ah!” the fifth prince insisted

“My sister is only 14 years old, she must be engrossed in studying at the library. My father kept talking about how good my sister is doing with her studies the past few days. And gladly since she woke up she has been acting different.”

“Greetings to the princes, the princess and to you young master.” butler Zhang ambled beside us

“Butler Zhang where is Ze’er?”

“Young master, the third young miss is riding a horse at the military arrays on the field. I am to report to the madame of her activities in case an accident occurs.”

“To the field riding a horse? Whose horse is she riding?” I asked suspiciously, my sister has never learned horse riding and no one could have taught her how.

“Young master it is the master’s horse Maximus. The young miss wanted to go horse riding all of a sudden and she chose a horse in the stables earlier.”

“Impossible–” Wang Ximen exclaimed

“How can she ride Maximus?”

It was known in the whole kingdom that only my father can stake a claim as the master of that horse. And that horse has been loyal to my father, not letting anyone ride him. Not even me or my brother.

I hurriedly run to the field and everyone followed me. The soldiers are on standby even the guards of the manor. The faces of most men are in a daze. I scanned through the crowd and saw my sister.

Maximus is galloping on its fastest speed, and my sister is throwing daggers at target boards like she’s only playing. Eventually she improved the arrays scattered on the field.

“Is that your sister?” Wang Shaoxi asked

Even I cannot answer his question.

“Yuanzhen is she on par with you?” Wang Ximen asked

The fourth prince stared at the girl who’s riding on a horse.

“I think she’s breaking your record Yuanzhen. Look at her reflexes, and the speed of the horse. She can’t be an amateur right?” the princess has spoken

But my sister never learned anything. My father hasn’t taught her horse riding and she never had a teacher. So where did her skills come from?

“I want to duel with her” the three of us stared at Wang Yuanzhen

“Did I hear it wrongly?” I asked him

“No, if my calculations are right she must be above your uncle’s level on the battlefield. Surprising isn’t it?” the fourth prince said as he retrieved the sword on his waist and headed straight to the center of the field, where my sister would stop.
