Liu Man hurriedly hugged Ma Chao's arm, shook Ma Chao's hand, and said coquettishly in a glutinous voice: "Brother Ma Chao, people don't make trouble, you just go with others, okay......"

Ma Chao suddenly felt a soft and warm touch coming from his arm, and immediately reacted. He quickly spread his hand, turned his face away, and said, "Okay, okay, just go with Your Highness." ”

Hearing that Ma Chao was willing to go, and changed his name, Liu Man cheered: "Okay! Then come with this princess! ”

With that, Liu Man hurriedly walked towards the palace gate in front of him.

Liu Man suddenly found that Ma Chao didn't keep up, his pace was much slower than just now, and when he turned around, he saw Ma Chao walking with his waist hunched, with a strange expression on his face, as if he was suffering something silently. Liu Man blinked his eyes wide and asked strangely, "What's wrong with you?" Why do you bend over and walk? Is it an upset stomach?? ”

Unexpectedly, Liu Man actually noticed, Ma Chao couldn't help blushing, shook his head and said, "The minister is fine, Your Highness should lead the way, let's hurry to the West Garden." ”

Liu Man said: "Okay, you also go quickly, don't let your father wait." With that, she turned around and continued to walk briskly towards the palace gate.

Ma Chao breathed a sigh of relief, if he didn't bend down and walk, it would be embarrassing, the hem of the robe would be held high, and the scene would be very embarrassing. Seeing that Liu Man didn't continue to pay attention, he quickly adjusted, and continued to bend over and follow Liu Man's back.

Outside the wide open palace gate, there were no guards, only two palace maids in Liu Man's palace, each holding a horse.

"Your Highness, why are you here now?"

Liu Man waved his hand and said, "There is a delay on the road......

"Your Highness, hurry up and get on your horse, otherwise Shuoping Sima's men will be patrolling here soon."

Ma Chao understood, it turned out that this palace gate was Shuoping Gate, and Shuoping Gate was the north gate of the North Palace.

"Okay, you guys go back too." Princess Wannian took the reins and said.

"Whoa." The two little palace maids left, and when they left, they looked at Ma Chao intently.

Ma Chao picked a horse and immediately turned over and got on the horse. After getting on the back of the horse, it gradually eased up. Ma Chao was a little embarrassed, he had been single for a long time, and he overreacted just by touching it.

Ma Chao took the reins, and when he saw that Liu Man was still standing stupidly under the horse, he stared at Liu Man with big eyes. After staring for a long time, Liu Man still didn't understand what Ma Chao meant. Ma Chao urged: "Get on the horse!" ”

Liu Man said confidently: "This princess won't get on the horse." ”

Ma Chao was surprised: "You still have a horse prepared if you can't get on the horse?" Won't you prepare a chariot or a carriage? ”

Liu Man said unconvinced: "If it weren't for the fear of delaying time, do you think this princess doesn't want to take a chariot or an ox cart?" ”

Ma Chao said: "What can I do then?" Will you ride aside, you have to get on the horse first, right? Otherwise, how can you take me to Your Majesty? ”

Liu Man said: "Isn't this simple? In the past, when the princess got on the horse, she stepped on the horse stone or stepped on the back of the little eunuch, and she stepped on it easily. You come and lie on the ground, and let the princess step on you. ”

Ma Chao shook his head and said, "No." ”

Liu Man thought about it for a while and said, "Then it's okay for you to help this princess get on the horse, right?" ”

Ma Chao said: "If Your Majesty knows that you and I have a skin-to-skin relationship, then he may not want to see me." ”

Liu Man looked left and right, and said anxiously: "Oh, what's the matter?" Do you understand the truth of uncle aiding sister-in-law and changing power in a hurry? Besides, if you don't say it, if I don't say it, how will my father know? It took a lot of effort for my grandmother to get rid of Shuoping Sima. If you don't hurry up, we won't be able to leave when Shuoping Sima brings someone here. ”

Ma Chao had no choice, so he had to get off the horse and walk to Liu Man's side, "Then I'll get started!" ”

Liu Man, who had always been generous, was a little shy at this time, she looked at Ma Chao embarrassedly, and said, "You are only allowed to touch the waist of this princess, if you dare to be rude to this princess, this princess will ......"

Ma Chao was also very anxious and wanted to discuss with Liu Hong as soon as possible, but Princess Wannian had been hesitating, Ma Chao's heart was horizontal, and he suddenly stretched out his hands to hold Liu Man's waist and easily lifted her high. As soon as he got started, Ma Chao knew that the princess's waist was so thin, soft and warm, which made him feel a little uneasy at that moment.

Liu Man was suddenly lifted high by Ma Chao, and his face was so frightened that he lost his face. Ma Chao said: "Spread your legs and ride on!" ”

Liu Man obediently did so, and Ma Chao gently put her on the saddle before letting go of his hand. Ma Chao breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked at Liu Man on the horse, he found that two blushes appeared on her pink face. Ma Chao was a little weak-hearted and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" ”

Liu Man pretended to be okay and waved his hand with a big grin, and said, "It's okay, let's go quickly, it's not good to wait for the Beigong guards to come." ”

Ma Chao also rode on the horse, and the princess of Wannian rode in front, Ma Chao followed, and the two horses went quickly to the west. Not long after walking along the wall of the North Palace, the two rode to the inner square outside the palace. The people in the neighborhood were walking down the street, and when they heard the sound of horses' hooves, they hid on the side of the road to make way for them. Liu Man and Ma Chao were able to get unimpeded. After the two rode through the alley, the people went to the middle of the road again, and there was a lot of discussion.

"Which noble daughter and son of this family is this? Why is the noodles so raw? ”

"I don't know, I haven't seen it. But it looks like a good match......"

The two of them did not hear the crowd talking, and had been concentrating on riding west. The so-called West Garden is on the west side; In addition to the West Garden, there are several royal gardens such as the East Garden, but Liu Hong's favorite is the West Garden, and the sale of official beards is also carried out in the West Garden.

After a while, a high wall appeared in front of the two of them, all made of blue bricks, which was extremely tall and luxurious. Liu Man took Ma Chao to ride along the high wall for a while, and then came in front of a high gate. Ma Chao was slightly surprised, this high gate was no less than the palace gates of the South Palace and the North Palace. Liu Man pointed to the door and said, "This is the West Garden, let's go in." ”

Ma Chao nodded, still led by Liu Man, and the two rode towards the garden gate. Guarding the gate of the garden were dozens of soldiers and a few eunuchs, and the leader was a eunuch, who saw that Liu Man was coming, and hurriedly and eagerly came forward. "The slave and maid pay a visit to Your Highness. I don't know what kind of wind blew His Highness here? ”

Liu Man said: "Jian Shuo told you, right?" ”

The eunuch was stunned for a moment, then nodded, turned and waved his hand, and the soldiers moved out of the way and opened the garden gate.

"Your Highness, please!"

Liu Man glanced back at Ma Chao proudly, which means, "Look at the majesty of this princess, right?" ”

Liu Man slapped the butt of the mount and entered the West Garden, and Ma Chao hurriedly followed. As soon as he entered the West Garden, Ma Chao was shocked by the scene inside.
