Chapter 423 Horse Racing
Chen Qing was riding a horse here, and naturally someone went over there to report to Xuanyuan Ling. Xuanyuan Ling had previously thought that Chen Qing was in a bad mood and wanted to go riding. Now that he knew that she had indeed gone, he thought about it and pulled the reins towards the direction where Chen Qing was riding. The guards who followed her naturally followed as well. Of course, if the emperor did not call out, no one would deliberately follow the emperor.
Chen Qing was riding happily there. In the palace, even though she was casual, she still had to follow the rules. But riding a horse was different. She rode freely, looking at the endless horizon. Even though she knew that there were still many people guarding the places that could not be seen here, she felt much better.
Shen Qing's riding skills are quite good, but she was a little awkward at the beginning. After all, she hadn't really ridden for many years. But things that you really know will never be forgotten because of time, and she soon regained her feeling.
Xuanyuan Ling arranged for someone to protect Shen Qing. At first, they thought that the virtuous concubine wanted someone to watch over her, but later they gradually discovered that the virtuous concubine was a very good rider, which they all found a little incredible.
Even if they were from a military family, they had not seen such good riding skills. After all, women are different from men. However, Shen Qing's skills were really good, not just for show, so they just protected her from a distance, just being careful not to have anyone approaching.
Xuanyuan Ling came over and saw Shen Qing riding very fast. He didn't dare to think that the person riding very fast was Shen Qing. His heart was tightened. How could she ride so fast? He drove the horse forward and took a closer look. He found that Shen Qing rode very well, really very well, not inferior to men at all.
At this moment, in the sunlight, she seemed to have crossed the golden border, riding the horse happily, and when she saw him, she rode the horse towards him, with a smile on her face, and when Chen Qing arrived in front of Xuanyuan Ling: "Huh."
She reined in her horse and stopped, looking very heroic.
Xuanyuan Ling's heartbeat quickened suddenly, but he still had to keep a straight face: "Why are you riding so fast?" He thought she just wanted to ride a horse, but now, it seemed like she wanted to compete with the generals?
"It's fun." Shen Qing smiled with curved eyebrows and eyes, not restraining himself at all because of his deliberately stern face.
Xuanyuan Ling wanted to slap her little butt when he saw her unrepentant look. She was very noisy, but her riding skills were really good and there were guards around her so her safety was guaranteed. Well, just let her be. It seemed that she really liked it.
"I'll go with you." Even if she doesn't like the guards following her, she can at least not like him to follow her, right?
"Then Your Majesty, would you like to compete with me?" Shen Qing was also very excited about riding. No one else would compete with her. At the moment, only Xuanyuan Ling was available for comparison. Riding a horse alone is fun, but horse racing is also very interesting.
"Okay." Xuanyuan Ling also agreed. They were going to go together anyway, so he might as well compete. He didn't care whether it was embarrassing to compete with his concubines in horse riding.
The guards around them really didn't expect that this matter could develop into a horse race between the emperor and the empress. Isn't this a bit against the rules? But the emperor is pro-Japanese, and he and the empress want to race horses, so it is inconvenient for them to follow too closely. They have to stay away and ensure the safety of the two, but they can't get too close to disturb them.
Shen Qing held the reins and started at the same starting line as Xuanyuan Ling, and then they both rushed out at the same time.
Xuanyuan Ling's riding skills were naturally good. He had fulfilled all the requirements for the prince. And if he wasn't the best, he wouldn't have stood out, right? But Chen Qing didn't let him fall behind, and didn't even look at him. He was focused on going forward. The two rushed to the periphery and stopped when they were about to enter the forest.
He rode very fast when he came here, but now he is not riding a horse. After getting off the horse and resting for a while, Xuanyuan Ling asked, "What else can you do?"
Chen Qing blinked innocently: "I know a lot, and I can only show it to the emperor when I have the chance." Just like riding a horse, I can't gallop wildly in the palace for you to see, right?
Xuanyuan Ling understood the implication, but over the years, he thought he had seen all kinds of Shen Qing. But now he realized that she was a very good horse rider.
At this moment, he did not think that Chen Qing was deliberately hiding something. Some things between them had been made clear, and those that were not made clear would be difficult to disclose on the next day. This little thing was not enough to make Xuanyuan Ling feel that Chen Qing was deliberately hiding something. He just kept thinking about the way Chen Qing rode his horse towards him, the way he was filled with joy, and the way he called him on the next day.
At that moment, his heartbeat really quickened a lot, and Xuanyuan Ling looked back at Shen Qing again.
She was seen drinking water, and immediately a water bag was taken out for her to quench her thirst. She raised her head, opened her mouth and took in the water. The water flowed down from the corner of her mouth, passed over the side of her jaw and neck, and disappeared into her neck.
Xuanyuan Ling's gaze followed the water droplets, his heart beat faster, and he felt inexplicably ashamed. At his age, he had been with Shen Qing for so many years and they even had a child, so how could he still make her heart beat so fast?
After drinking the water, Shen Qing turned around to see Xuanyuan Ling looking at her with a complicated expression. She looked at him and then at the water bag: "The emperor wants to drink too?"
Well, his heart was beating fast because of her, and she thought he just wanted to drink water?
Xuanyuan Ling: “…Humph.”
Chen Qing: “?” Why is he being so arrogant?
But he looks so arrogant, shouldn't I say that, a little cute? Or, quite cute? Then just tease him?
"Your Majesty, don't you think I've drunk it? I haven't even touched it."
It was obvious that she said this on purpose. Xuanyuan Ling's heart was really hooked by her, and he couldn't help himself and turned around to kiss her.
Chen Qing teased for a while, but she didn't expect Xuanyuan Ling to kiss her, and this kiss seemed very exciting. She felt that she was going to be swallowed by him. She could hear his rapid breathing, and Xuanyuan Ling himself felt it too. He could even hear his own heartbeat. It was because of this that she felt more and more embarrassed, but the more embarrassed she was, the more she couldn't stop.
In the middle of the day in the wilderness, Shen Qing was dazed and could still see the two horses looking at them. She immediately patted Xuanyuan Ling. Xuanyuan Ling loosened his mouth a little, but his arms were still tightly around her, still a little unhappy about being interrupted: "I won't kill you here, what are you afraid of?"
Shen Qing was not afraid of this: "They are watching." It is always a living thing.
Xuanyuan Ling then realized that the two horses were staring at them, and he couldn't hold it back for a moment, and coughed dryly. Chen Qing looked at his embarrassed look and tried to hold back his laughter, so Xuanyuan Ling glared at him and said, "I'll take care of you tonight."
After a pause, he added: "Just wear this riding outfit."
Shen Qing: "..." She almost lost control. Wearing riding clothes at night? What to ride?
