Shen Ningning left the palace in the carriage arranged by the emperor and was about to go home.

However, not long after leaving the palace gate, I heard a familiar shout from outside the carriage——

"Ning Ning!" It was Lu Shaoyuan's voice.

Shen Ningning was surprised. She opened the curtain and looked outside. In the vast moonlight, the long street was already empty. Only Lu Shaoyuan rode his horse and came rushing.

She quickly asked the coachman to stop. Lu Shaoyuan raised his eyebrows and smiled, reining in the horse beside the carriage.

"Why are you here?" Shen Ningning was very surprised.

The day she was originally scheduled to leave the palace was originally several days away. If it hadn't been for an accident, she wouldn't have left early.

But how did Lu Shaoyuan know? Could it be that his brother Lu Fu said it?

Lu Shaoyuan smiled handsomely: "Didn't you say before that as soon as you leave the palace, you will let me pick you up? I was worried that I would miss you, so I arranged for ten boys to take turns watching near the entrance of the palace. Once I find that you are coming out, , just come and report the news quickly, I thought, I have promised you, I can't break my promise."

Shen Ningning was stunned. If she said she wasn't moved, that would be a lie.

She decisively got off the carriage. Seeing this, Lu Shaoyuan also got off the horse.

Only then did he realize: "I was in such a hurry when I came out that I forgot to call the carriage. You ride my horse and I hold it, and we walk back."

Shen Ningning chuckled: "If we go, it will be till dawn, let's ride on the same horse."

Lu Shaoyuan's eyes widened instantly, as if he was hit by a huge happy event.

"Really? Then, wouldn't that be too...ambiguous?" His handsome face turned red to the roots of his ears.

Shen Ningning shook her head and took the initiative to get on her horse: "It's nothing. I used to ride horses with my brother and the others."

After speaking, she patted the saddle in front of her: "Come, sit in front of me."

In this way, Lu Shaoyuan would not hold Shen Ningning in his arms because of pulling the reins, and it would be less ambiguous, but Lu Shaoyuan still felt excited.

He got on the horse decisively.

The person driving the carriage was a forbidden soldier. He frowned when he saw this: "Your Highness, why don't you and Mr. Lu go back in the carriage together?"

Shen Ningning's eyes were indifferent, and her tone was even colder: "No, you go back and tell the emperor's uncle, thank you for his kindness, there is someone at my house to pick you up."

After saying this, she slapped the horse's butt from behind, and the horse immediately galloped forward.

In the dark night, Lu Shaoyuan was left with a series of trembling sounds: "I haven't pulled the reins yet!"

Along the way, Lu Shaoyuan kept his back straight. He didn't dare to lean back a little. He seemed to be still on the horse, but his heart seemed to have drifted to the fairy palace.

For the first time in his life, he could ride the same horse as Shen Ningning!

He couldn't even think about it before!

Shen Ningning remained silent. The street was silent except for the echo of horse hooves.

Lu Shaoyuan coughed lightly and asked, "Why did you come out early? Did the prayer go well?"

Shen Ningning still didn't answer.

Lu Shaoyuan finally felt something was wrong. She was too silent.

So, just as he was about to turn around to see what was wrong with her, he heard a suppressed sob coming from behind amid the sound of wind flying past his ears.

Lu Shaoyuan stiffened.

Why is Shen Ningning crying?

At this moment, she reached out and gently grabbed the clothes behind him. When she spoke, her voice was choked with sobs: "Lu Shaoyuan, please ride slower. I will go home later. I don't want my father and brother to see me." My eyes are red."

Lu Shaoyuan pursed his thin lips and slowly controlled his horse's speed with a complicated expression.

Two people and one horse walked slowly along the street.

He didn't ask why she was crying, he just took out his handkerchief from his arms and passed it behind him.

"If you feel that you will always be wronged when entering the palace, don't go there in the future. If you can't refuse, just tell me and I will fight for you." Lu Shaoyuan said in a very firm tone.

It seemed that for Shen Ningning, he had the courage to defy the odds.

"Thank you."

After Shen Ningning finished speaking, the next second, Lu Shaoyuan felt her leaning gently on his back. The muscles in Lu Shaoyuan's back tensed instantly, and his heart started beating wildly.

By the time they arrived outside Xie's residence, Shen Ningning had calmed down her emotions.

Getting off the horse, she looked at Lu Shaoyuan and said, "Your robe is dirty. Otherwise, take it off and give it to me. I will wash it for you and return it to you."

The two dark marks stained by tears on his back were very obvious.

Lu Shaoyuan felt that this dress was so precious that he couldn't bear to wash it.

He coughed lightly: "It's okay, it's just a piece of clothing." He planned to treasure it.

Shen Ningning frowned: "How about that? Take it off and give it to me!"

Lu Shaoyuan quickly got off the horse, took off his robe obediently, and handed it to Shen Ningning.

At this moment, he remembered what his father said, counting from the eighteenth generation of their old Lu family, they were strict with their wives.

Not married yet, whatever Shen Ningning says is what it is.

After the robe was handed over, Shen Ningning saw that Lu Shaoyuan was wearing a white pajamas underneath.

It was so funny that the girl burst out laughing.

"Why don't you even wear clothes properly?"

Lu Shaoyuan looked down, and his handsome face suddenly became extremely embarrassed.

He hurriedly covered himself, but couldn't cover himself anywhere, so he simply gave up.

"I heard that when you left the palace, I just fell asleep. I was afraid of missing you, so I put on some clothes and left... I'm not usually so unkempt."

Shen Ningning smiled so wildly that her bad mood seemed to be swept away.

When Lu Shaoyuan saw this, he also giggled twice.

Until a scolding came from behind them: "It's so late at night, Mr. Lu doesn't go back to sleep, why are you laughing at my sister?"

Shen Ningning turned around and saw Xie Mingan riding back.

It looked like he had just finished a difficult case from Dali Temple.

Xie Mingan got off his horse and stood between the two of them. He was a little confused: "But sister, didn't you enter the palace? Why are you back?"

Shen Ningning said in a calm and natural tone: "The emperor's uncle's illness is mainly for rest. I came back when I saw that I couldn't help him. Lu Shaoyuan happened to meet him and took me back."

With that said, she urged Lu Shaoyuan to catch up with the horse.

"It's getting late, go back and rest quickly."

Lu Shaoyuan nodded and held his hands towards Xie Mingan: "Second uncle, I'm leaving first."

Without waiting for Xie Mingan's reaction, Lu Shaoyuan rode away.

After he left, Xie Mingan jumped up and shouted at his back: "You and my sister haven't been engaged yet, why are you calling me uncle!"

Xie Mingan turned around and saw that Shen Ningning had already entered the door.

He hurriedly chased after him: "Sister, what's going on with this Lu Shaoyuan? Is he a serious person running around in his pajamas at night? Have you thought clearly about marrying such a person? Do you want my second brother to give me some advice? You take good care of it."

Shen Ningning couldn't help laughing: "Second Brother! He's not a weirdo, he just came out in a hurry."

Only then did Xie Mingan see that what his sister was holding in her arms was Lu Shaoyuan's coat.

"Sister! Is he really unruly? He took off his clothes to you before we got married? You heard from my second brother that such a person cannot be married."

Shen Ningning covered her ears: "Second brother, it's getting late, you should go to bed early." After that, she ran away.

Xie Ming'an was helpless: "Is it true that women are not allowed to stay in college?"

At this moment, the concierge came over: "Second Young Master, the eldest young master came back during the day and said that the matter you asked him for last time has been found out. If you are free, you can wait for him in the study during the day."

Xie Mingan was delighted when he heard this.
