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!” was Lu Shaoyuan’s voice.

Shen Ningning was surprised. She lifted the curtain and looked outside. She saw that in the 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, and stopped 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 would not 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 come to 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 got off the carriage decisively. Seeing this, Lu Shaoyuan also got off his horse.

He then came to his senses: "I was in such a hurry when I came out that I forgot to call a carriage. You ride on my horse, and I'll hold it, and we'll walk back."

Shen Ningning chuckled and said, "If we go, we will have to wait until 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, 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 decisively got on the horse.

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 finishing speaking, she slapped the horse's **** 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 did not 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 never dared to 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 happened to her, he heard a suppressed sob coming from behind him amidst the sound of wind passing by 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 dad and brother to see them." 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 her 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 go against 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: "Your robe is dirty, why don't you take it off and give it to me, and I'll wash it for you and give it back to you."

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

Lu Shaoyuan felt that this piece of clothing 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 keep it well.

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 had said. Counting from the eighteenth generation of their ancestors, the old Lu family, they had strict hemp control.

They haven't gotten married yet, so whatever Shen Ningning says is what it means.

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 good clothes?”

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 had just fallen asleep. I was afraid of missing you, so I put on some clothes and left...I am not so unkempt."

Shen Ningning smiled wildly, and her bad mood seemed to be swept away.

Lu Shaoyuan also giggled when he saw this.

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

 Shen Ningning turned around and saw Xie Mingan riding back.

 Looks like he 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: "Uncle Emperor'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."

 Speaking, she urged Lu Shaoyuan to catch up with the horse.

 “It’s getting late, you should 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 haven't engaged to my sister yet, so why are you calling me uncle!"

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

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."

It was only then that Xie Mingan saw that what his sister was holding in her arms was Lu Shaoyuan's coat.

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

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 investigated. If you are free, you can wait for him in the study during the day."

 Xie Mingan was very happy when he heard this.

 Have you found the whereabouts of late spring?
