Song Qing couldn’t stand Shen Yu’s shining eyes staring at him. Without agreeing to him, he would not return inside the carriage. He had no choice but to compromise.
“Try getting on my horse first. Although it runs slowly, it has a mild temperament.” Song Qing demonstrated by stepping on the stirrup and flipping onto the horse with a flying jump. His movements were clean and with ease.
Shen Yu was smart and he remembered the move after seeing it once. The only thing is that he didn’t have the same physique as Song Qing. The poison had nibbled away the strength in his legs. Forget jumping onto a horse, it was difficult enough to even crawl.
During the first attempt, Shen Yu’s leg would not straddle the horse no matter what. He clung onto the side of the horse’s back and used all his strength to no avail. He clenched his teeth trying to continue climbing onto the horse, but his hands lost strength as well and he tumbled down.
With Song Qing’s protection, he managed to not fall on the ground.
In a short while, Shen Yu was gasping for breath. Sweat beaded on his forehead, and his complexion reddened by a few shades. Song Qing had a sudden realization: when he waited outside every night while Shen Yu served Zhenbei Wang in bed, he often heard sounds of gasping. Was the expression Shen Yu had then the same as the tender and alluring one he had now?
“Ha,” Song Qing pinched himself to regain his clarity. “Do you still want to learn?”
Shen Yu nodded firmly. Of course he wanted to learn. If he couldn’t even get on the horse, how could he ride one?
“Alright, I’ll help you get on.” Song Qing knew of Shen Yu’s stubbornness now, and stopped trying to dissuade him.
Not too far away, Zhenbei Wang had just returned to the camp and looked towards the carriage out of habit. He happened to see such a scene.
Song Qing was helping Shen Yu mount the horse saddle with gentle movements. At the end, he even used his hands to support the base of Shen Yu’s thigh. The two looked intimate beyond comparison. When Shen Yu finally climbed upon the horse, he smiled happily at Song Qing. It was an expression that Zhenbei Wang had never seen before.
He trembled with nerves in front of him, but yet was relaxed and at ease with someone else.
“Hmm? Isn’t that Concubine Yin? Why is he fooling around with Song Qing instead of staying in the carriage?” The Princess seemed to sense an opportunity, and even tossed the sable aside with her eyes alight in excitement.
As expected, Zhenbei Wang spurred his horse towards Shen Yu. His black stallion was of a strange lineage and gave off an awe-inspiring presence. Its aggressive and fierce charge startled Song Qing’s horse, which began trying to gallop away.
Shen Yu was sitting on the horse’s back with no knowledge of how to even hold the reins. As soon as the horse moved, Shen Yu lost his balance and threw himself down onto the horse’s back in a panic.
“Woah-” Song Qing grabbed the reins in haste. Thankfully this horse was trained; although it wavered in front of the black stallion, it stopped trying to escape.
“Are you alright?” Song Qing helped Shen Yu alight from the horse with care. It was unavoidable that their bodies came in close contact.
“What are you two doing?” Before Zhenbei Wang could say anything, the Princess started questioning them.
“My Lord.” Song Qing only looked at Zhenbei Wang. “I’m teaching Concubine Yin how to ride a horse.”
“That question was for him, are you his mouth or what? Who told you to speak for him?” With Emperor Ye by her side, the Princess was brimming with confidence and bravado.
“My Lord ordered me to look after Concubine Yin, so it’s only natural that I answer. Princess, it’s not like you’re unaware that Concubine Yin cannot speak.”
The Princess smiled with contempt, “Can’t he gesture? Pah, learning horse riding. How come I only see you two pushing and pulling, and exchanging flirtatious glances?”
Song Qing replied solemnly, “Princess, you don’t need to smear Concubine Yin and myself. The truth will speak for itself. Since I was teaching under the public gazes of many people, it proves that there is nothing improper going on with Concubine Yin like you claim.”
