Mingyu lay tightly on the horse's back, her heart was up and down, the forest was very quiet, and she could only hear the rhythmic sound of the horse's hooves and the sound of her own pounding heartbeat.

Mingyu was very scared, she was afraid of falling off the horse, and second, she was afraid that the first person to save her was not Qiao Muqing.

The horse did not run very fast, and gradually slowed down, and finally stopped.

It seems that Sister Jiu'er really didn't lie to me, this horse is very docile.

Mingyu thought.

Then she took a deep breath and slowed her heart beating sharply from the tension, and slowly disembarked from the horse.

Probably because she was too scared, her hands trembled a little, and when she dismounted, she fell off the horse because she couldn't grasp it steadily.

"Ahh

Mingyu touched his knee, which was in severe pain from hitting the ground, and couldn't help but gasp.

She endured the pain and rolled up the hem of her skirt, the blood had gradually seeped out, and she looked a little terrifying.

Mingyu's eyes were gradually filled with tears, and at this moment her heart was occupied by fear and pain. She started to cry, she regretted making this decision, she shouldn't have tested, she was really scared.

On the other side, Rong Jiu stopped Song Moci and the others who wanted to chase after him, and told everyone about his plan with Mingyu.

Although everyone was in a hurry, they also believed in Qiao Muqing, so they waited in place.

Qiao Muqing kept looking for Mingyu's figure in the woods, but the forest was too big, and the branches were luxuriant, and his vision was very limited.

And his always smiling face became serious at this moment, and it looked so cold that it seemed to pierce someone.

"Where the hell is this girl? I guess I'm scared right now! Qiao Muqing thought to himself, and punched the tree on the side angrily because he was in a hurry.

That girl is so timid, she must be scared and crying at this time, and she blames herself for not taking a good look at her, so she shouldn't have learned to ride a horse.

Qiao Muqing blamed himself and punched the tree again.

At this moment, there was a sound of horses crying not far away, Qiao Muqing's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly galloped away in the direction of the sound.

"Good horse, you say, can they find me?" Mingyu asked the horse guarding her side in a choked voice.

Although the little red horse can't speak, it is also human, I saw it raise its head and cry a few times, and then lowered its head and rubbed Mingyu.

Mingyu was tickled by it, and couldn't help laughing, "Haha, okay, don't rub me." ”

When the little red horse heard this, he took his head away and raised his head and cried.

"Horses, are you telling them we're here?" Mingyu was a little moved, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the little red horse.

At this moment, she was no longer so scared, and when she calmed down, she remembered the first time she and Qiao Muqing met when she was a child.

It was Chinese New Year's Eve, and because she made a mistake, the mother punished her and prevented her from going to the fireworks show.

But how could she compromise because of this?

So she evaded the palace maids who were guarding her and sneaked out.

But just when she was secretly proud, she realized that she was lost.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, most of the palace people gathered together to play, and few people came out to walk around, and now Mingyu was extremely heartbroken, and there were only some dim lights around, and there was nothing else.

Maybe because of her age, coupled with her pampered habits, Mingyu didn't know what it was to be afraid, she tilted her little head and looked around, looking at the rockery not far away, and suddenly noticed.

It is said that if she climbs on top of it, will she be able to find the way?

It's better to act than excited, Mingyu rubbed his fleshy little hands, rolled up his sleeves, and began to climb to the top of the rockery.

But she still overestimated herself in the end, and she fell down directly without holding it firmly.

"Ahh

Mingyu felt that her whole body was hurting and was about to fall apart, and she couldn't help crying loudly anymore.

"What's wrong?"

Mingyu raised his head when he heard the voice, and someone stood in front of him at some point.

"Are you here to save me?" Mingyu asked glutinously.

"Huh?" Qiao Muqing tilted his head a little inexplicably.

"Woo......" Mingyu saw that he didn't answer, and cried again.

Qiao Muqing looked at the rockery behind Mingyu, and then at Mingyu who was sitting on the ground crying, and suddenly had an answer in his heart, so he pointed to the rockery and asked tentatively, "Did you fall off from there?" ”

Mingyu's big eyes were teary and he nodded aggrievedly.

Qiao Muqing suddenly smiled and squatted down with his back to Mingyu, "Come up, I'll carry you back." ”

Mingyu was stunned, and some didn't react.

"If you don't come up, I'll go!"

Qiao Muqing saw that the other party did not react, so he shouted again.

Sure enough, as soon as Mingyu heard that the other party was leaving, he didn't care about the pain, stumbled up, and lay on Qiao Muqing's back.

To be honest, she really didn't want to stay in this place.

Feeling that the other party had already laid down, Qiao Muqing smiled and carried her steadily.

It was the first time that Mingyu was carried by a stranger, smelling the faint fragrance on the other party's body, Mingyu blushed a little.

"By the way, which palace are you from?" Qiao Muqing asked.

"I ...... I don't want to go back yet. Mingyu buried her head and whispered, if she went back, she wouldn't be able to see the fireworks show.

"Huh? So where do you want to go? ”

Qiao Muqing stopped and asked rhetorically.

"I wanted to go to the fireworks show, but my mother wouldn't let me ......"

The soft and glutinous voice came from behind, and Qiao Muqing couldn't help laughing.

It turns out that this little girl is a little princess.

"You probably didn't sneak out and get lost?" Qiao Muqing asked with a smile.

"Hmmm......"

Mingyu could feel that the other party was laughing, and for a while he felt extremely embarrassed, his little face was flushed, and he couldn't wait to find a hole to get into.

"It's easy, I'll take you." Qiao Muqing said.

"Really?" Mingyu's eyes widened with joy, but then she calmed down, "But when my mother saw it, she was going to punish me again." ”

"I know there's a place where you can see fireworks and you won't be spotted by your mother." Qiao Muqing said with a smile.

"Really? Take me there! Mingyu danced happily.

"Then you're going to hold on to me!" Qiao Muqing said.

Mingyu listened, hurriedly grabbed it, and then only felt that his body was light, and the two of them left the ground, the breeze blew on their cheeks, and the lights of the palace came into view.

Mingyu couldn't help but shudder, and just as he wanted to exclaim, Qiao Muqing's voice came from his ears.

"Hold on, don't let go."

Then, Mingyu only felt that the figures of the two of them moved forward again, although Qiao Muqing was small, his light skills were indeed excellent, and although he was carrying Mingyu on his back, he could still jump around on the roof with ease.

Mingyu, who had never felt this, felt both scared and excited for a while.

After a while, Qiao Muqing stopped, and he carefully put Mingyu down.

"This is the highest place in the palace, and you can see the fireworks clearly here, and it's no worse than what you see at the scene."

Mingyu sat obediently and didn't dare to move, this place is really high, so she was afraid that she would fall down accidentally, if she fell from here, her life would be gone.

"Don't be afraid, just hold on to me, and I'll protect you."

Qiao Muqing seemed to see through Mingyu's fear, and said to her with a smile.

Mingyu looked at Qiao Muqing's gentle little face, her heart was beating extremely fast, somehow, she felt very relieved, and she was not so scared in her heart.

So she also smiled and nodded, and stretched out a hand to tightly grab Qiao Muqing's sleeve.

The fireworks show has not yet begun, but from here you can see the scenery of the entire palace and the lights of thousands of houses outside the palace gate, which is an excellent place to watch.

"Do you come here often?"

Mingyu asked, tilting her head.

"Well, if I don't go back to the palace with my father, I will sneak here alone, because those palace banquets are too boring!"

Qiao Muqing took the opportunity to sit down beside Mingyu, shrugged and said.

"Then won't your father worry about you if he can't find you?" Mingyu asked again, if it was her, her father would definitely be in a hurry to send someone to find her.

"The general's son is naturally different from everyone else, so as long as he goes back on time, his father will not worry." Qiao Muqing said.

"You're the general's son! Then your martial arts must be very powerful! Also, what kind of kung fu was that flying around just now? Can you teach me? When Mingyu heard this, he asked with a look of surprise.

"Hahaha, silly girl, that's called light work, it's not so easy to learn, and you have to suffer a lot." Qiao Muqing touched Mingyu's head and said.

"I'm not afraid of hardships, can you teach me?" Mingyu blinked wide-eyed.

"Haha, silly girl, you can't learn light skills, you know?" Qiao Muqing was amused by Mingyu's appearance for a while.

"Is that so? Okay then......" Mingyu lowered his head in disappointment when he heard that he couldn't learn.

She also thought that if she learned it, she would be able to run here on her own.

"But...... I can fly around with you in the future. Qiao Muqing looked at Rong Jiu's lost appearance and couldn't bear it.

"Really?" Mingyu's eyes lit up again.

"Hmm...... Look, the fireworks show has begun! Qiao Muqing pointed not far away and said.

With a loud sound, colorful fireworks burst into the night sky, and it was too beautiful to say for a while.

Mingyu's mouth opened wide in surprise, and the fireworks seemed to bloom above her head, one by one, like stars within reach.

She had never seen fireworks so closely, and she was speechless for a moment.

Qiao Muqing looked at Mingyu's dancing appearance and smiled dotingly.

He didn't care about watching the fireworks, he was afraid that this little girl would dance and accidentally fall down later, so his eyes kept following her.

Fireworks are colorful and colorful, but they are also fleeting.

The night sky was quiet again, only the faint white smoke, as if to tell people that the amazement just now was not a dream.

When Qiao Muqing secretly sent Mingyu back, Mingyu was already asleep.

Qiao Muqing listened to the steady undulating breathing on his shoulder, and smiled helplessly.

He carefully put her on the bed, and then warned the palace people not to tell anyone else about Mingyu's sneaking out tonight, and after the palace people agreed, he went back with peace of mind.

After that, Mingyu began to inquire about Qiao Muqing's news everywhere, until one day he learned from the third brother that he was the son of General Qiao.

And for a period of time after that, Mingyu was known by her mother because she secretly went out to play that night, and she began to be grounded, and she didn't have a chance to go to Qiao Muqing.

Retracting his thoughts, Mingyu wiped his tears, thinking to himself, is it because he always loves to cry so much, so Qiao Muqing doesn't like her.

However, will he come to save me this time like he did when he was a child?

Mingyu lowered her head, a little bitter in her heart.

"Mingyu?"

Still the warm and comfortable voice in his memory, Mingyu raised his head happily.

Looking at the person in front of her, Mingyu wanted to cry, but she tried her best to hold back, she tried to squeeze out a smile.

"You've finally come to save me."
