Chapter 15 Does your knee hurt?

"Father also needs company."

King Lin chuckled and asked, "That's perfect. I'll take you for a run on the grass in the north."

"Your Highness, please wait for me for a moment! I will change my clothes right away."

Shen Lingshu jumped up from the bed and said, "Zhu Xin, hurry up and get my riding clothes."

Shen Lingshu was busy changing clothes. Even through the screen, one could feel her happiness and excitement. Prince Lin smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's still early."

"Your Highness, you must be getting impatient waiting. We can go riding now!"

Shen Lingshu was wearing a mint green riding suit, which was different from her usual wide-sleeved clothes. The wide belt of the same color made her slender waist, which could be held in one hand, look even slimmer.

King Lin's eyes dimmed slightly, and he stretched out his long arms, holding the person in his arms. He lowered his head and sealed the person with a rosy kiss.

for a long time……

"Your Majesty, once we return to the capital, I will have no chance to ride a horse."

She tilted her head slightly, her rosy cheeks were like the red glow in the sky, her crystal red lips were like ripe red fruits, tempting to pick, and her eyes, as bright as stars, were filled with the desire to ride a horse!

"Walk."

Prince Lin lowered his head, took her hand and walked out of the tent. It was inconvenient in the hunting ground. As soon as she walked out of the tent, she saw Concubine Fang and Hai Jiaren, whose face was distorted with jealousy, not far away.

"Concubine."

Shen Lingshu greeted him with a smile, but after being led away by Prince Lin, she felt like a thorn in her back.

Never mind, they can't be friends anyway.

Shen Lingshu was quickly attracted to horse riding. She had also had horse riding scenes when filming before, so she specially learned horse riding!

However, compared with the big chestnut horse in front of her, those docile ponies were like heaven and earth. The moment she sat on the horse's back, Shen Lingshu felt that her vision had widened.

“So high!”

Shen Lingshu held the reins tightly, her body stiff and she dared not move.

Prince Lin climbed onto his horse, sat behind Shen Lingshu, and whispered, "Don't worry, I'm here, and nothing will happen to you."

"I believe in you, Your Majesty."

Shen Lingshu looked back with a smile, her eyes full of trust in Prince Lin.

"Hold on tight, I'll take you for a run."

King Lin's voice rang in her ears, and behind her was King Lin's warm body. As the speed increased, the wind rushed towards her madly, and the only sound in her ears was the whistling wind.

"My Lord, it's such a joy to ride a horse!"

Shen Lingshu turned around, her sparkling eyes full of excitement and happiness. It turned out that riding a horse so freely was so joyful!

Galloping on the flat and open grassland, Shen Lingshu felt like she was a horse running freely.

The silver bell-like laughter kept echoing in the ears of King Lin. Infected by Shen Lingshu's happiness, the corners of King Lin's lips also rose slightly. After running a lap, King Lin taught her how to ride a horse.

Shen Lingshu was smart and learned quickly. In just one afternoon, she had already mastered the essentials of horse riding. When she returned, she eagerly asked, "Prince, will you come to ride again tomorrow?"

Apart from a few days of travel time, they would only stay in this hunting ground for about seven or eight days. Shen Lingshu wanted to seize every opportunity to go horseback riding.

“Hmm…”

Prince Lin deliberately prolonged his tone, Shen Lingshu grabbed the corner of his clothes and shook it gently: "Prince~"

The voice with a small tail tone is like a feather gently brushing across the heart, or like a small hook, making people feel itchy.

Prince Lin's eyes dimmed slightly, and he asked, "Does your knee hurt?"

"How did the prince know?" Shen Lingshu looked up in feigned shock.

Prince Lin grabbed her hand, stroking it gently, and asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"It's just a small matter, how can I bother His Majesty?"

Shen Lingshu tilted her head and smiled, as if being punished by Shen Lingyi to kneel was just a common occurrence.

She is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

Prince Lin took her back to the tent without saying a word. Shen Lingshu was a little puzzled. Why... seemed angry?

When they returned to the tent, Shen Lingshu's eyes went dark. The king who had just been talking to her about the rules would now press her down on the table and give her a kiss of pity and heartache, as if to comfort her.

"Your Highness, the Emperor has returned from hunting a white fox and is very happy. He is inviting Your Highness to come and see it." Qingwu's voice sounded outside the tent.

"Wait."

Prince Lin bit her as if to punish her, then stood up straight, straightened his clothes, the lust in his eyes faded away, and he returned to his previous appearance of a cold and aloof prince.

Until Prince Lin left, Shen Lingshu smiled gently: She guessed correctly, if she didn't complain, she would be able to gain the prince's love and pity.

After bathing and changing clothes, Zhu Xin said, "Master, Miss Cao Lu, who is beside the concubine, just came to tell me that there will be a bonfire dinner tonight. I heard that the emperor hunted a white fox and he was very happy."

"Um."

After Shen Lingshu washed and dressed up, she changed into a pink dress. When she arrived at the dinner, the emperor had not yet arrived. Prince Lin, the Crown Prince, and Prince Heng sat at the lower left, while their concubines were at the end.

Just as Shen Lingshu found her place, she ran into the prince's concubine, Shen Lingyi, who was walking over and was surrounded by stars. She was wearing a golden brocade with gold and silver threads interwoven, and with the oriental pearls in her hair, she looked extremely precious.

Standing next to her was Concubine Gao, who was promoted to concubine in Prince Heng's mansion by giving birth to a son.

After paying respects, Shen Lingshu heard Concubine Gao's voice.

"Concubine Shen, I heard that this Concubine Shen from Prince Lin's Mansion is your sister?"

"Sister."

Shen Lingyi corrected, and glanced at Shen Lingshu with contempt: A daughter born to a lowly concubine is worthy of being her sister?

Shen Lingyi walked forward without looking around, to the position behind the prince.

"A concubine's sister is not even worthy of carrying Concubine Shen's shoes."

I don't know which lady said this, Shen Lingshu lowered her eyes, these people flatter the powerful and trample on the weak, they are very good at it.

Hai Jiaren, who saw this scene, naturally would not miss the opportunity to step on her. She said sarcastically: "Same surname, different fate. Your elder sister is the prince's concubine, and you are just a concubine."

"Dogs are still good. After I help them, they wag their tails at me!" Shen Lingshu hinted at something, and Hai Jiaren's face turned black: "How dare you call me a dog?"

"So Aunt Hai is also a person who repays kindness with enmity?" Shen Lingshu raised her eyebrows.

“…”

Hai Jiaren's chest heaved violently with anger. For a long time, she clutched the handkerchief tightly, staring at Shen Lingshu and said, "The prince is just looking for something new from you."

"You can't even get anything new." Shen Lingshu looked Hai Jiaren up and down.

"you……"

Hai Jiaren was about to speak when Concubine Fang came over and scolded her in a low voice, "If it weren't for the hunting trip in Nanyuan, you wouldn't have the chance to attend this banquet. If any of you are dissatisfied, go back immediately."

"If anyone brings disgrace to the Lin Palace, I will beat you to death with a stick."

Concubine Fang warned and mocked their identities as concubines. Thinking of the scene in the afternoon when Shen Lingshu went horseback riding with the prince, Concubine Fang's eyes circled around Shen Lingshu's belly.

The emperor even summoned them both and promised that whoever gave birth to a child would be promoted to concubine. Shen, forget about giving birth to a child!

Concubine Fang walked towards the position behind Prince Lin in front, which was the position of a concubine.

Hai Jiaren glared at Shen Lingshu fiercely, then sat down, and didn't dare to speak again.
