Jiang Chen looked at the horse with a serious expression for a moment.
Although he is not very good at memorizing, he can still remember some random things very well.
This is the emperor’s uncle’s horse, right?
"I can't ride a horse, let my uncle teach you." Jiang Chen became particularly smart at this critical moment.
Jiang Qingqing even felt inferior to the person who turned the rhetoric around.
Xiao Linting stood firm, and raised his eyebrows slightly, his originally dull mood finally had a layer of teasing, "If I remember correctly, the Third Prince seems to be weak in riding horses, why not practice with the princess this time."
Having said that, he did not give Jiang Chen a chance to struggle and asked the palace servant to go to the stable and bring another horse.
Jiang Chen frowned, looking like he was resisting.
Jiang Qingqing saw his pain and smiled with glee.
Xiao Linting signaled to the palace servant to bring the pony over, and he automatically stretched out his hand without saying a word. Jiang Qingqing naturally reached out and grabbed his fingers, and with the help of her uncle's strength, she grabbed the reins with her other hand, turned over with difficulty and rode on the horse.
The little kid has short arms and legs, and normally seems to be wobbling when he walks, but the movement of lifting his legs and jumping onto the horse is indescribably smooth and neat.
Xiao Linting turned his head slightly with a look of surprise, and saw Jiang Chen standing next to him. He was obviously in his early ten years old and was beginning to grow taller, but the way he stepped on the stepping stone to climb onto the horse's back looked indescribably clumsy.
The stark contrast is right before our eyes.
People have the habit of liking to see beautiful things. Xiao Linting subconsciously turned his head to look back at Jiang Qingqing. The little girl was sitting on the horse's back, her small body with her back straight and her hands gripping the reins. She looked very serious, but she was indescribably cute.
Jiang Qingqing can ride a horse, but just to pretend that she is an ignorant four-year-old child, she sits on the back of the horse and looks at Xiao Linting with her big round eyes.
You can't fake fear, you can only pretend to be confused.
Xiao Linting put his hands on her waist, and with just a light touch of his big hands, he was able to hold Jiang Qingqing's two small hands in his hands.
[How could Tianqi raise such a short horse? I really want to find the horse breeder and ask him how this kind of horse was produced.]
The familiar voice of the little girl, Xiao Linting can now easily and naturally receive all her thoughts.
[When he touched my waist, could he really touch it? Didn’t the elders say that children don’t have waists? I couldn’t even feel it, so he wasn’t touching my butt, was he?]
Xiao Linting: ...
He was being abrupt. There was no such thing as being as still as a mountain and as steady as a clock. When the uncle heard this, he almost subconsciously frowned.
The little girl on the horse suddenly remembered something and turned to look at her uncle who was guarding her. Xiao Linting relaxed his brows almost subconsciously as a reflex, looking calm.
"Uncle, what is that place surrounded by tents over there?" Jiang Qingqing looked around and saw that place with an astonishing presence.
Xiao Linting looked in the direction and said, "The Ministry of Works dug a hole in that land a few days ago. They originally wanted to build a pavilion, but water kept bubbling out. So they simply dug a pond. They probably fenced it off and made some repairs."
Xiao Linting knew everything about the previous dynasty, and he told her everything in detail. Jiang Qingqing nodded absentmindedly. As someone who lived in the harem, she didn't even know that there were renovations in the harem recently.
[I am ashamed that I, a little princess in the harem, am so late in getting news. ]
Xiao Linting lowered his eyes and carefully looked at Jiang Qingqing's expression, trying to read Jiang Qingqing's emotions from her eyes. But the little prince looked calm, which was completely different from the words he was muttering in his heart.
This surprised Xiao Linting a little.
He didn't expect that Her Royal Highness the Princess could control her emotions better than he did.
As Xiao Linting took Jiang Qingqing on horseback around the parade ground, he gradually loosened his hands that were supporting his waist, and only held Jiang Qingqing's hands that were pressing on the saddle with one hand.
At the other end of the training ground, Jiang Chen rode his horse leisurely and fished in troubled waters. The eldest prince held a bow and arrow and shot an arrow in another direction, but the second prince under the big umbrella disappeared inexplicably.
Although Jiang Qingqing was taken by Xiao Linting to experience the rhythm of horse riding on the other side of the training ground, her eyes were always on Jiang Chen's condition.
Xiao Linting had already guided Jiang Qingqing to the horse, holding the reins in his hands, and let her sit on the horse alone, holding the saddle with her small hands. As the horse walked leisurely, Jiang Qingqing stepped on the stirrups appropriately to gain leverage and reduce friction.
Xiao Linting had just casually explained this set of movements. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Qingqing used her skill to do it.
Xiao Linting was shocked by the way she looked so comfortable with it.
After all, when he was teaching Jiang Chen how to ride a horse, Jiang Chen had already worn out three or four pairs of pants. Under the sharp contrast again, Xiao Linting gradually began to reasonably doubt whether Jiang Chen was Jiang Qingqing's biological brother.
How can the gap between siblings be so big?
"Uncle, is there no specific ending time for the outdoor courses?" Jiang Qingqing turned around and asked the uncle in confusion.
Xiao Linting raised his hand and subconsciously touched Jiang Qingqing, almost developing a habit of listening to her inner voice.
[My butt is numb. If I sit down again, I won’t even have to sit on a chair tomorrow. Wuwuwuwu——]
"If you are tired, then take a rest. Should we walk there or ride a horse?" Xiao Linting pondered for a moment and asked with a slightly raised voice.
He put his hands on Jiang Qingqing's waist again, feeling that he could lift Jiang Qingqing off the horse in the next second.
Jiang Qingqing held the saddle tightly and looked at the other side in the distance. She said quickly: "Ride a horse, ride a horse..."
[If I walk over there, I will have exceeded my daily exercise quota for today. ]
Xiao Linting was speechless for a moment. He suddenly stopped and looked up and down at Jiang Qingqing's chubby body. This action caused Jiang Qingqing herself to be confused.
The only thing she lacked was a huge question mark on her head.
"Your Highness, although Tianqi does not advocate extreme beauty, you should at least maintain a healthy body shape."
[So you mean I'm fat now! ? ]
"But Your Highness is still young, so this is also very good."
[Hmph, I think so too.]
Jiang Qingqing hooked the stirrup and then retracted it, tapping it on the horse's belly to urge the pony forward. Xiao Linting listened to the arrogant tone of the little princess's inner voice, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and walked forward without noticing.
Sure enough, riding a colt is much more comfortable than walking by oneself. With the help of Xiao Linting carrying the horse, Jiang Qingqing said goodbye to the emperor's uncle obediently and walked towards Jiang Chen.
She took a few quick steps and saw the Second Prince standing next to Jiang Chen.
