After failing the imperial examination, he began to wield immense power after entering the palace!

Li Fan ignored her sarcasm.

He simply stepped forward a few steps, looked at Princess Chaoyang, and asked:

"Princess, you've surrendered, are you really going to give yourself to me?"

Princess Chaoyang paused for a moment, then smiled.

"Of course, I keep my word."

"If you can really tame it, this horse is yours."

Li Fan nodded and strode towards Red Hare.

Whispers and snickers came from behind me.

"A eunuch trying to tame Red Hare? Wishful thinking!"

"He probably doesn't know how wild that horse is."

"Just wait and see, you'll be thrown off as soon as you go up."

"He might just fall to his death, hahaha..."

Those privileged young men wore mocking expressions, waiting to see the joke unfold.

Princess Anle stood still, her peach blossom eyes fixed on Li Fan's back, her heart involuntarily skipping a few beats.

She didn't know if Li Fan could ride a horse.

But she knew that this person could always bring her surprises.

Red Hare stood in the center of the riding arena, its mane flying, its expression arrogant.

It saw yet another person walking towards it and snorted dismissively.

Li Fan walked up to it and stopped.

He didn't rush to mount his horse.

Instead, he reached out and gently stroked Red Hare's neck.

Red Hare trembled, its hooves pawing the ground restlessly, emitting a low neigh.

It doesn't like being touched.

It would become enraged whenever those people approached it before.

But Li Fan's hand was warm, gentle, and carried an indescribable sense of security.

His palm rested on Red Hare's neck, and he could feel the pulsation of the blood vessels beneath its muscles.

"Don't be afraid."

His voice was so soft that only one person and one horse could hear it.

"I'm not here to conquer you, I just want to ride you around for a bit."

Red Hare's ears twitched, and a hint of confusion flashed in its arrogant eyes.

This human is different from the others.

The first thing those men did when they came up was to pull on the reins, squeeze the horse's belly, and whip it.

It is filled with a desire for conquest and control.

But this person simply stood in front of it and gently stroked its neck.

There were no threats, no coercion, only an indescribable gentleness.

A puff of hot air came out of Red Hare's nostrils, and its hooves stopped pawing the ground.

It quieted down.

Those around were stunned by what they saw.

"What's going on? Why is that horse so quiet?"

"Before, anyone who got close to it would get kicked, so why is it like this time?"

"This is weird..."

After Red Hare had completely calmed down, Li Fan gently patted its neck.

Then, he leaped and landed steadily on the horse's back.

The movements were clean and efficient, without the slightest hesitation.

Red Hare felt someone riding on its back, and all its muscles tensed up.

It let out a long neigh and raised its front hooves.

"hiss!"

It's about to shake people off.

But Li Fan's legs firmly gripped the horse's belly.

His hands gripped the reins tightly, his body rising and falling naturally with the movements of Red Hare.

The "Swift Step" movement technique played a crucial role at this moment.

Red Hare swung to the left, and his body tilted to the left as well.

Red Hare swung to the right, and his body tilted to the right as well...

His body seemed to be attached to the horse's back; no matter how much the Red Hare struggled, he couldn't shake it off.

"good!"

"sharp!"

"He didn't get thrown off?!"

The surrounding crowd began to stir, with gasps of surprise rising and falling.

Red Hare became even more enraged.

It let out long neighs, running, leaping, spinning, and suddenly stopping wildly in the riding arena...

It tried every means to get the person on its back off.

But every time, it failed.

Li Fan rode steadily on its back, his expression unchanged.

His body seemed to have become one with Red Hare, every rise and fall was just right, and every bump was dissolved into nothingness.

Red Hare ran faster and faster, leaping more and more wildly.

Its mane flew like flames, and its four hooves kicked up a cloud of yellow sand.

The entire horse ranch trembled as it galloped wildly.

Princess Anle stood at the sidelines, her peach blossom eyes fixed on Li Fan on horseback, her hands unconsciously clenching the hem of her skirt.

Her fingernails were digging into the fabric, and her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.

"Keep it up..."

Princess Chaoyang stood on the other side, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed.

A smile still lingered on her lips, but it no longer held the same confidence as before.

That eunuch, how come he hasn't been thrown off yet?

a circle.

Two laps.

Three laps.

Red Hare galloped around the racetrack three times, its speed increasing rapidly.

But its strength is being consumed little by little.

Its screech changed from furious to urgent, and from urgent to weary.

The frequency of the four hooves changed from frantic to heavy, and from heavy to slow.

Finally, on the fifth lap, Red Hare came to a stop.

It stood in the center of the riding arena, panting heavily, its fiery red coat glistening with sweat.

It stopped struggling.

It stopped neighing.

I've stopped trying to shake off the person on my back.

Because it admitted defeat.

This human is impossible to shake off.

Li Fan sensed that Red Hare's body had relaxed from tense, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He reached out and gently stroked the mane of Red Hare.

"A fine horse."

He said softly.

Red Hare snorted and nuzzled his hand slightly with its head.

It's as if it's saying, "You're pretty good."

For a moment, the racecourse was completely silent.

"good!!!"

I don't know who shouted it first.

Immediately afterwards, the entire stadium erupted in deafening cheers.

"Good heavens! What's wrong with Red Hare? It looks like it's been subdued?"

"A eunuch actually tamed Red Hare! That's amazing!"

Everyone stared in shock at the gray figure on horseback.

Those wealthy young men who had just been mocking him were now speechless, their mouths agape.

Princess Anle stood on the sidelines, her peach blossom eyes filled with undisguised surprise and pride.

She turned her head and looked at Princess Chaoyang.

"Big sister, what did you just say?"

"Is there not a single person with guts around me?"

Princess Chaoyang's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.

"He's quite capable."

Her tone was flat, but the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

"Red Hare is given to him. I keep my word."

Princess Anle snorted, her face full of smugness.

Then, she called out towards the center of the racecourse:

"Gao Jin! Come back!"

Li Fan rode Red Hare back slowly.

He dismounted, patted Red Hare's neck, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Princess Anle strode forward, her peach-blossom eyes scrutinizing him from head to toe.

"I didn't realize you, a eunuch, were such a good horseman!"

"But didn't you just say you couldn't ride a horse? So you were lying to this princess?"

Li Fan shrugged: "I can't ride a horse, so it was just a fluke."

"Just lucky?"

Princess Anle scoffed, her face full of disbelief.

"Your expression didn't change at all, from the moment you went up to the moment you came down."

"Is this what you call luck?"

She stared at Li Fan for a long time, her peach blossom eyes gleaming slightly.

"Fine, since you made me look good today, I won't haggle over the price."

Li Fan looked at her radiant smile and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Shouldn't the princess give me a few more secret manuals?"
