The Legend of Zhen Huan: Year after year, we share the spring breeze

Chapter 218 Horseback Riding 2

Shen Meizhuang lifted her foot lightly, her skirt fluttering in the wind like a dancing fairy. She planted her feet firmly on the saddle, then, with a push of her hands, she swung over the horse as nimbly as a flying swallow, her movements flowing smoothly and in one breath.

The moment she sat safely on the horse's back, her entire temperament suddenly changed.

At this moment, she seemed to have become a completely different person. She was no longer the dignified, elegant, and well-behaved Concubine Hui in the palace. Instead, she had transformed into a heroic and resolute female knight.

"Sister, you are so handsome!" An Lingrong's face was full of admiration. She crossed her fingers under her chin and stared at Shen Meizhuang with her eyes, looking like a crazy fan.

Seeing An Lingrong so adorable, Shen Meizhuang couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Haha, let's go, and be sure to go slowly."

"Ok!"

The two men lightly kicked the horses' bellies, driving them forward slowly. The horse's hooves slowly rose and fell, making a rhythmic sound.

"Sister, you ride so well." An Lingrong's voice was full of admiration.

Shen Meizhuang smiled and replied, "My father is a military officer, and everyone in my family knows how to ride a horse. I've been exposed to them since I was a child, and I've learned some skills!"

"I've never seen my sister riding a horse before. When I saw her today, she looked so heroic!" An Lingrong's gaze followed Shen Meiyu closely, and her eyes revealed undisguised admiration. Her gaze was bright and fiery, as if she wanted to deeply imprint the image of Shen Meiyu riding a horse in her heart.

"Haha, this is the first time I've ridden a horse since I entered the palace." Shen Meizhuang raised her head slightly and looked into the distance. Her gaze penetrated the palace walls, and her thoughts seemed to drift back to the time when she was at home.

At that time, she was carefree and free, galloping freely in the vast sky and earth, enjoying the breeze and the warmth of the sun.

Shen Meizhuang came back to her senses, looking away from the distant past. She looked at An Lingrong, who was filled with interest and anticipation. The corners of her mouth curled up, and with a smile in her eyes, she asked, "Do you want to go faster?"

"I want to!" An Lingrong nodded excitedly at first, then said with some concern, "But my skills are not good enough, right?"

"It's okay, I'll take you!"

"it is good!"

Shen Meizhuang jumped off the horse swiftly, then walked to An Lingrong's horse, flipped over and jumped onto the horse's back, sitting steadily behind An Lingrong, "Give me the reins!"

"Come closer to me, don't be afraid." Shen Meizhuang said gently, one hand gently but powerfully wrapped around An Lingrong's slender waist, and the other hand tightly grasped the reins.

"it is good!"

An Lingrong responded obediently, leaned back, and was held in Shen Meizhuang's arms.

Shen Meizhuang only heard a soft shout of "Gee!" Then, she raised the whip in her hand, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then hit the horse's butt accurately.

The horse received the command and instantly, like an arrow from a bow, flung its limbs into a gallop. Its nimble and powerful limbs alternated, and every time its hooves touched the ground, it seemed to create a string of brilliant sparks, scatter countless tiny stones, and raise clouds of dust.

The horses galloped faster and faster, the crisp clatter of hooves resounding through the air, blending with the whistling wind to form a stirring melody. The sound, reaching their ears, gave the two riders an unprecedented thrill and excitement, a feeling as if their hearts were about to leap out of their throats; it was mesmerizing.

A gentle breeze brushed across her face, bringing a touch of coolness. An Lingrong felt instantly refreshed, her body and soul immersed in this wonderful feeling. She couldn't help but stretch out her arms, like a bird soaring freely, savoring this moment of exhilaration to the fullest. Then, she opened her throat and cried out loudly: "Ah..."

The voice broke through the sky, as if to release all the depression and restraint in the heart.

Seeing this, Shen Meizhuang, who was standing by, gently moved forward and tightened her arms around An Lingrong, fearing that she would accidentally fall off the horse.

"Sister, shout too!" An Lingrong turned around, looking at Shen Meizhuang expectantly, and said in a hoarse voice. Her hair fluttered in the wind, and her eyes were full of excitement and encouragement.

Hearing her words, Shen Meizhuang hesitated for a moment. However, when she saw her cheerful smile like the sun, the worries in Shen Meizhuang's heart immediately disappeared.

She took a deep breath, as if to absorb all the courage in the world into her chest, threw away all her reserve and restraint, and like An Lingrong, opened her mouth and shouted loudly: "Ah..."

At that moment, the two sisters forgot all their worries and anxieties, pouring out the resentment that had been pent up in their hearts for days. Their cries echoed in the vast sky and earth, as if to break through all the cages and shackles in the world.

The exhilarating feeling brought their hearts unprecedented relief. All the haze was blown away by the wind in an instant, leaving only joy and freedom in their hearts.

After running a few laps, the two of them found a spot to sit and rest. An Lingrong half-lay on the grass, eyes gently closed, savoring this rare breath of freedom, wanting to deeply imprint this moment of tranquility in her heart. Shen Meizhuang, arms folded around her bent knees, quietly watched her intoxicated expression.

"Rong'er, don't you like the palace?" Shen Meizhuang asked softly.

An Lingrong remained silent and did not answer.

"If you could be outside the palace, your life would definitely be rich and colorful." Shen Meizhuang's tone was slightly choked.

An Lingrong then sat up and moved to Shen Meizhuang's side. She leaned against her shoulder and said softly, "Sister, if I hadn't entered the palace, how could I have met you? And there's no point in thinking too much about hypothetical questions. I can only look forward."

"You are a rare and insightful person. I just feel sorry for your hard work and cannot relax for a moment. Now you have to worry about Huan'er's affairs, alas!" Shen Meizhuang gently stroked An Lingrong's hair, her eyes full of pity and helplessness, and she sighed deeply.

"Sister Zhen is different from you. I can talk to you without hesitation, but in front of her, I always have some reservations."

Her eyes were a little dim, and her voice was filled with an indescribable complex emotion.

Zhen Huan treated her very well, but when two smart people are together, they will always subconsciously trust themselves, so the relationship between them is not as close as that between her and Shen Meiyu!

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll take you for two more laps." Shen Meizhuang stood up and stretched out her hand with a smile.

"Okay!" An Lingrong placed her hand in hers without hesitation. Their hands clasped tightly together, conveying endless warmth and strength.
