Shen Qing was in a bad mood, and even the horse beneath her could feel her surging anger, pacing back and forth.
She controlled the horse, but her eyes remained fixed on the direction Jiang Mingwei had gone.
Although Jiang Mingwei's words had indeed struck a chord with her, she didn't believe that their years of grudges could be wiped away so easily.
After a long while, he calmly withdrew his gaze.
Alright, let Jiang Mingwei off the hook for today.
They can settle their score another day!
Shen Qing was always someone who could take things in stride. With a cold snort, she spurred her horse and rode away, leaving her entourage of followers to hurriedly follow...
At this moment, the stable boy led Jiang Mingwei to a more distant spot, near the woods and far from the crowds. It was the perfect place to train the horse, as it was spacious and undisturbed.
However, in the royal gardens, people usually ride horses for social purposes, so it is rare for anyone to take their horses to such remote places.
Jiang Mingwei is probably the only one who is genuinely here to learn horseback riding today.
She kept her calves tightly gripping the horse's belly, her legs aching, but she dared not relax for a moment.
According to the man, sitting up straight with her lower body fixed and her weight entirely on her legs, Amber would still sway from side to side involuntarily if she walked too fast.
Hua Cui jumped up in anxiety several times, wondering why her young mistress was suffering like this.
So what if I can't ride a horse? No one will laugh at me anyway. This lady is really going all out!
"Miss, please be careful, please be careful!"
"Hold on tight to its reins, hold on tight!"
Hua Cuixin's heart was pounding with worry. Seeing that Jiang Mingwei was still swaying from side to side, she immediately raised her hands and went forward, afraid that she would fall off the horse.
Suddenly, a tall figure walked past her. Hua Cui was stunned and stared at him, her face full of shock!
The stable boy, who was struggling to lead Jiang Mingwei by the rope, also saw the person beside him.
Just as he was about to bow, the man raised his hand to interrupt him and took the reins from the stable boy.
Looking at Jiang Mingwei, who was still swaying on horseback, completely absorbed and unaware that she had been switched, he spoke in a low voice.
"You don't need to be too stiff. Just follow the rise and fall of the horse's back and lean forward as much as possible so you won't fall backward."
Jiang Mingwei nodded and immediately relaxed her upper body, which was indeed much stronger than when she was as hard as a steel plate.
"It actually worked!"
She grinned, about to thank the stable boy for the reminder, but then she met a pair of dark eyes and froze.
"Second brother, what are you doing here?"
Indeed, the person holding the reins for Jiang Mingwei at this moment was none other than Wei Jing, who had just been surrounded by that group of noble ladies.
Meeting Jiang Mingwei's shocked gaze, Wei Jing raised an eyebrow. "What? Sister-in-law doesn't want to see me?"
"Not really, I just didn't expect you to come. There was a group of people standing next to you just now, and I noticed that those girls seemed to like you quite a bit. Did you have a good chat with them, second brother? Did you find anyone you liked?"
Jiang Mingwei shook her head and asked directly without hesitation.
She needs to find out Wei Jing's type quickly, otherwise how can she introduce him to potential partners?
However, they completely failed to see the resistance and alienation in Wei Jing's eyes when he asked the question.
"I never expected my sister-in-law to care about me so much, even asking about such an important part of my life?"
Jiang Mingwei didn't take it seriously, and even patted her chest.
"Of course, I'm your sister-in-law. If I don't worry about you, who will?"
Of course, he also wanted to save his own life...
Jiang Mingwei didn't say this half sentence aloud because the high-sounding reasons she gave earlier were already sufficient.
Wei Jing didn't know why, but whenever Jiang Mingwei mentioned whether he had a woman he liked and wanted to help him find a wife, he would get inexplicably angry, even though he was not usually like this.
“No need for you to worry, sister-in-law! There is no war at the border for the time being. I will return if summoned. Why delay other girls? I have no plans to get married, so you don’t need to worry about me.”
Holding the reins in one hand, Wei Jing placed the other hand behind his back and spoke in a low voice.
Seeing his cold and handsome face, Jiang Mingwei vaguely sensed that he seemed to be in a bad mood, and slowly forced a smile.
"That's good. A real man has ambitions. It's okay if he doesn't get married. This way, he can serve the country and his high reputation in the military will not be wasted."
Jiang Mingwei tried to speak, and only when she saw Wei Jing's face lighten from gloom to cloudy did she breathe a sigh of relief, realizing what kind of words he liked to hear.
Seeing that the reins were still in Wei Jing's hand, she couldn't help but feel nervous and spoke cautiously.
“Um… Second Brother, you can give the reins to him. He can teach me. You don’t need to worry about such a small thing.”
“How can that be?” Wei Jing replied without hesitation, frowning.
From a distance, he saw Jiang Mingwei swaying back and forth on her horse. If she wasn't careful, she would fall off. If the horse trampled her, the consequences would be unimaginable!
A stable boy might be good at raising and training horses, but he might not be a match for someone who can truly instruct a person on how to ride.
Since Jiang Mingwei is his sister-in-law, he should take care of this matter for her.
Before Jiang Mingwei could hesitate, Wei Jing turned to the stable boy and whispered, "There's nothing for you to do here. Go down first. I'll accompany my sister-in-law in her training."
Manudley immediately bowed, quickly slipped away, and in an instant, only Jiang Mingwei remained lingering at the edge. Although there were three people, Wei Jing led Jiang Mingwei in front, while Hua Cui followed leisurely behind them.
Wei Jing's hands were extremely steady, and Amber, who was not a whirlwind and had a bad temper, was as docile as a lamb in his hands, with occasional guidance on movements.
Before long, Jiang Mingwei had completely gotten used to riding a horse.
He sat upright on his horse, finally stopping the swaying. He even tried to run forward a short distance, but after only a step or two, Amber stopped as if it were a human, much to Jiang Mingwei's delight.
"This amber is amazing; it knew it was my first time learning to ride a horse?"
Wei Jing nodded and said, "Horses have always been intelligent; they know whether the person riding on their back is capable of controlling them."
"I see. Amber, you are a fine horse, unlike the swift and terrifying one."
Although Jiang Mingwei does enjoy chasing the wind, that was only true just now.
After witnessing Zhui Feng's crazy antics, she became somewhat intimidated.
Without comparison, there is no harm. Amber is not as unruly and arrogant as him, but she is gentle and extremely beautiful.
The honey-brown coat shimmered in the sunlight, and Jiang Mingwei absolutely adored it. She wondered if the royal horses were for sale.
Or are there any other conditions that would allow me to buy them...?
She subconsciously made a sarcastic remark, not noticing that Wei Jing was gazing at her delicate profile for a long time, asking in a low voice.
"When my sister-in-law looked at me through the crowd, did she mean she wanted me to win the game?"
