That night, because of Zhou Youning's greedy play and Zhou Youlin's chess game, they were delayed to return to the palace.

Before going out, Meng Xilan was a little anxious, and seeing that Zhou Youning was not worried, she turned her head and asked with a smile: "Sister Lan, when can I come to your house to play again?" ”

Meng Xilan was slightly helpless: "Your Royal Highness Princess, if we don't hurry up and return to the palace, I'm afraid it will be difficult to come again." ”

Taking advantage of the gap between the groom's reins, Meng Xilan said goodbye to her family one by one.

In front of the Anguo Mansion, the lights were bright, and Mrs. Meng and a large family saw them off. The mood of going here was completely different from when she first entered the palace, and Meng Xilan felt a lot more relaxed.

Zhou Youlin deliberately walked up to the old lady and thanked her for her thoughtful hospitality.

Meng Xichu, the second girl in the big room, and Meng Xiqiao, the third girl in the second room, stood on both sides of Mrs. Meng's body, and their eyes looked at Zhou Youlin at the same time, and the girl's shy feelings rippled in their hearts.

Such a handsome prince, bearing and demeanor, are not comparable to ordinary civilians, and there is only the royal family in the whole world.

Meng Xilan looked at her two sisters carefully, as if she could always see through their hearts and see the budding and sprouting thoughts.

Meng Xilan frowned imperceptibly. It's not a bad thing that the love is just beginning, it's just that they all chose the wrong person.

Zhou Youlin didn't think much of the girl's affectionate gaze, and a vague smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the smile was dazzling, which made them more and more fascinated.

Hurry goodbye to her family, Meng Xilan secretly calculated the time, but felt bad. In less than half an hour, the palace gate will be locked.

The first time she left the palace, she had to return late, which was not what she hoped for.

Meng Xilan thought for a while, lifted the curtain, looked outside, and called, "Second brother." ”

Meng Xiran happened to ride a horse beside him and hurriedly came over.

"When we go back to the palace, I'm afraid it's going to be late."

Meng Xiran frowned and sighed: "The road is difficult to walk on a snowy day, and there is no way to ...... it when it is really late" He was only halfway through his words, but he was interrupted by Zhou Youlin's loud voice: "There are slow ways to walk, and there are fast ways, but I don't know if your daughter's family dares to try?" ”

Meng Xilan looked at him puzzled, and Zhou Youning also poked his head out: "Fourth brother, you deliberately sold Guanzi again!" ”

Zhou Youlin raised his eyebrows, pointed at his mount with a whip, and looked at Meng Xilan with his eyes: "Let's ride back together, it's the fastest way." ”

Meng Xilan frowned.

Horseback riding? Monkey business!

Who knows, Zhou Youning, who was next to him, clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Okay, I want to ride a horse, fourth brother, you take me ......"

"No, you girl is too dishonest, you turned around and scared my horse, none of us want to go back." Zhou Youlin looked at Meng Xiran and ordered: "Your horse is honest, let the princess ride with you." ”

Meng Xiran was slightly stunned when she heard this, and her expression was a little embarrassed. "Your Highness, I'm afraid this is not appropriate."

Men and women are not intimate...... What's more, she is Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"Alright, just do as I want. You don't want a mother-in-law, like a girl's house. Zhou Youlin patted his jujube red horse: "It's a stubborn temper, and it's even more wild when it runs." So, let Ning'er ride with me, I don't worry. ”

Meng Xilan's face changed slightly, and she raised her eyes to look at Zhou Youlin, fully understanding what he meant.

The princess is delicate and expensive, and there must be no mistakes. So, she had to take the risk.

Meng Xilan didn't want to agree, she would rather go back late and be blamed by the Queen Mother than sit on the same horse with Zhou Youlin. Unexpectedly, Zhou Youning has been aroused, and no one can persuade him.

Meng Xiran jumped off the horse, carefully helped Zhou Youning onto the horse, and before he could set off, his forehead began to sweat nervously.

Meng Xilan reluctantly got out of the carriage, but Zhou Youlin looked at her condescendingly, his lips were lightly raised, his expression seemed to be smiling, the horsewhip gently tapped the boots on his feet, and asked loudly, "How is it?" Do you dare? ”

There was a hint of provocation in the tone of his voice.

Meng Xilan pursed her lips, endured the words of refusal, raised her head, and said calmly: "Your Royal Highness's kindness, how can the people refuse." ”

Zhulu was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly pulled the corner of her clothes: "Miss, you don't know how to ride a horse......

At this time, Meng Xilan naturally wouldn't, but she had studied a few times in her previous life, so she wasn't so afraid.

"Don't worry, I don't know how to ride a horse. But isn't there four highnesses here? He wouldn't let me fall off my horse. Meng Xilan said this deliberately.

Zhou Youlin smiled when he heard this, he didn't expect her to be so bold. He knew that she was a proud girl. Last time, the sixth brother asked her to shoot arrows, and she wouldn't dare to try. Let her ride a horse today, and she will not say a word "afraid...... Look at her delicate and weak appearance, her temperament is hard, and she refuses to be soft in everything!

The more Zhou Youlin thought about it, the more interesting he felt, and then he stretched out his hand and gestured to pull her up.

Who knows, Meng Xilan glanced at his hand, deliberately pretended not to see it, and turned around and instructed Zhu Lu: "Bring me the horse stool." ”

Zhou Youlin was hung by her, not angry but laughing, but feeling that she was really interesting, completely different from others.

Meng Xilan stepped on the stool and sat on the horse's back smartly, although she was sideways, she could be regarded as sitting firmly.

Seeing this, Zhou Youlin secretly looked at her, and for some reason, he suddenly had a little provocative interest in her. "Miss Meng is so skilled." With that, he tightened his arms, tightened the reins, and lightly kicked the horse's belly.

Sitting on horseback, Meng Xilan's body tensed slightly, at this time, the two of them were very close, she lowered her eyes slightly, deliberately didn't look anywhere, and only said lightly: "Let Your Highness see the joke." ”

Meng Xilan took a deep breath and tried her best to keep her body still, but it was still in vain after all.

Her shoulder was on Zhou Youlin's left chest, the front chest and back were next to his arms, and even the sound of his breathing came from the top of her head.

Looking a few steps away, Zhou Youning shouted excitedly like a child: "Hurry up, hurry up!" Let it run! ”

Meng Xiran couldn't disobey her words, so she could only obey her orders, and after a while, she was taken away from Meng Xilan's sight.

Meng Xilan looked at the dark front and couldn't help but open her mouth to remind Zhou Youlin: "Your Highness, princess, they have already gone away." ”

It was obviously his idea, but he was unhurried at this time, and he didn't know that he was in a hurry.

Zhou Youlin nodded lightly, which was considered an answer, and his chin inadvertently touched her head.

Meng Xilan lowered her head again: "Your Highness, if you don't hurry up, you still won't be able to catch up with the hours in the palace." ”

"It's okay." Zhou Youlin replied nonchalantly.

Meng Xilan frowned, completely confused as to what he meant.

"That, Your Highness."

"What?"

"I think I'd better get a little quicker in the carriage." Her voice was a little muffled, sounding a little unhappy.

Zhou Youlin laughed softly, determined not to tease her anymore, and said solemnly: "Okay, you sit tight." After speaking, he raised his horsewhip, threw out a sharp arc, and shouted: "Drive!" ”

Before Meng Xilan could react, everything in front of her rushed by like a gust of wind.

Wherever the horse's hooves tread, snow splashed everywhere, as if it could shake the heavens and the earth.

The sound of the whirring wind sounded in his ears, the clatter of the horse's hooves falling to the ground, and Zhou Youlin's heavy shouting, all the sounds were mixed together, chaotic and clear.

The cold wind pierced people and couldn't open their eyes, and the bumps and ups and downs on the horse's back made Meng Xilan feel uneasy and frightened, she was really afraid that she would fall like this and fall to her death...... Reacting almost instinctively, she closed her eyes and reached out tremblingly to grab Zhou Youlin's robe.

Zhou Youlin felt her fear, and while smiling slightly, he waved his arm and wrapped Meng Xilan tightly with the cloak that flew in the wind and pressed it to his chest.

The man in his arms was silent, his body stiffened, neither resisting nor pandering.
