"The young man in front, get out of the way!"

The sudden explosive shout finally pulled Qu Xue'er back from her thoughts of flying out of the Outer World.

"Hush ~" The coachman tried his best to pull the reins.

The hooves of the horses were high on her head, Qu Xue'er watched the scene in front of her in a daze, her mind completely blank, her heart instantly filled with fear. She had completely forgotten that she could take a step back.

Seeing that the horse's hooves were about to trample on him, the surrounding people couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

A touch of white figure descended from the sky, and Qu Xue'er's body was lifted by a force. A gust of wind streaked past, barely avoiding the horse's hooves that were about to land on her body.

Qu Xue'er laid in the crook of the person's arm. Against the sunlight, a young and handsome man's face was reflected in her heart.

This was probably what love looked like at first sight.

The man landed steadily on the ground while hugging Qu Xue'er, Qu Xue'er seemed to have not recovered from his shock, he stared blankly at's face, looking extremely confused.

"Little brother?" Little brother, are you alright? "

The man's smiling face caused the young Qu Xue'er to be lost in thought.

At this time, the crowd that had hidden far away gradually gathered around, the horse also stopped and stood at its original spot, the white-robed man was graceful like jade, many young girls in the crowd were blushing.

"What's wrong with you, young man?" Are you hurt? Didn't I tell you to get out of the way?! " The coachman had jumped down from the carriage just now and was angry. If something had happened, he would have been sued.

Qu Xue'er looked at the man in front of him without saying a word.

white-robed man thought that she was scared, and turned to look at the coachman with a blaming tone.

"You, the one in charge of controlling the horses, did not manage the horses well enough and almost caused a death, yet now you still dared to avoid others in time. It is already good enough that they did not blame you for your negligence and let you take the trial."

When the coachman heard that he was going to be sued and saw that the man was dressed in white, he immediately changed his attitude.

"Yes, yes, yes, young master, you have taught me well, it is this lowly one's fault, please forgive this lowly one. This humble one will leave now."

With that, the coachman hurriedly left on the carriage, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

"Since you are fine, little brother, I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first."

Hearing that he was about to leave, Qu Xue'er finally reacted. "Well, wait a minute." Qu Xue'er called out to him, but couldn't think of any excuses when she met his pair of puzzled eyes.

"Um, I'm running out of energy, can you lend me some for emergency use?" As if she had thought of something, Qu Xue'er immediately waved her hand, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not a liar, I will return the money to you."

white-robed man smiled and took out a bag of crushed silver.

"Take these out and use them. Consider them as my gift. There's no need to return the money."

Qu Xue'er took the pieces of silver nervously. When he was about to turn around, he finally opened her mouth.

"Hey, I'm not a person that would be taken advantage of. How about this, let's exchange for a keepsake. If we meet by chance in the martial arts world, I'll return the money to you, what do you think?"

The white-robed man's mouth raised into a beautiful smile as he took out a white jade flute.

"How about this?"

Qu Xue'er's eyes instantly lit up, she also took out a piece of jade from her neck. There were traces of green mixed within that small, curved jade white. It looked warm and clear, and with a glance, one could tell that it was a priceless treasure.

The man took the keepsake from her and teased, "Little brother, aren't you afraid that I'll just run away and not give it to you if you give me such a precious thing?"

Qu Xue'er stared at him with a pair of big, watery eyes, as she spoke each word with absolute confidence.

"I believe you're not like that."

white-robed man did not speak further, he only smiled lightly as he received her jade pendant, then turned and rode his horse and left. Qu Xue'er held his white jade flute in his hand and stared at the direction that the man had left in for a long time.

Carrying his white jade flute in her arms, Qu Xue'er took the pieces of silver she gave her and wandered around the streets.

Four days later, Grand Princess, who had not seen him for a long time, rode his horse and majestically stood in front of the palace gate.

Qu Xue'er walked out of the Cheng Ming Palace. The dazzling sunlight outside dazzled her eyes.

Seeing that she had walked out not long after entering, Yimei thought that she had met a wall. He hurriedly went up to her, wanting to say a few words of consolation. "princess, His Majesty, he …"

"Let's first return to the palace." Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Qu Xue'er interrupted her.

"Ah?" Oh, oh, okay. princess, be careful. " She followed behind Qu Xue'er obediently, afraid that Qu Xue'er would anger her and accidentally throw herself into the ground.

After all, they had always been pampering her. It wasn't just the empress, even the servants close to her pampered her.

"Oh, shit, I forgot about the mother's confinement."

On the way back, Qu Xue'er suddenly called out softly. She finally remembered why she came here at the beginning, hence she stopped on the way back to plead for her mother.

She was naturally able to hear those words when she was by her side.

"princess, do you want to go take a look?" The servant standing at the side suggested, "Even if you don't plead for help, empress will not blame you."

Although she didn't like this, she was still very good to him. She nodded her head in agreement as Qu Xue'er changed directions.

"Then let's go see Imperial Mother first."

When Qu Xue'er arrived at the Mingxin Hall, he was lying on the desk and reading a book.

The sun outside shone through the window, and it was rare for Qu Xue'er to be like this, standing in place for a moment, interrupting palace maid who wanted to report it.

"Mother," Qu Xue'er said as she blended in with her.

Lu Yanxin put down the brush, his eyes seemed to be slightly swollen from being hurt. "Xue'er is back?" A trace of guilt appeared in his eyes.

"It was because the Queen Mother was useless and was unable to help you when you needed help."

Qu Xue'er looked at her somewhat haggard face, and her heart felt a little pained. "This son is fine, but mother, why must you be so haggard? Have you not slept well recently?"

As he approached the woman on the chair, the dark circles under Lu Yanxin's eyes that were covered by rouge became very obvious.

Lu Yanxin held both hands on her face, "Relax, mother was only grounded. Mother had a dream about you last night, and I was worried about you for a while, so I didn't sleep well."

Qu Xue'er's eyes started to turn slightly red.

"princess, lady, Eunuch Fu is here." The palace maid that came in interrupted their atmosphere.

The Fu behind palace maid walked in with her back bent, a very kind smile on her face.

"Greetings, Great princess and empress."

Lu Yanxin looked at him, and compared to usual, she felt a little more dignified. "Eunuch Fu coming here today, what orders do you have for me?"

"This servant has sent an order by the Emperor that empress's punishment of prohibiting entry can be cancelled today. And there's also the Great princess, the Emperor said that the Hundred Blossom Banquet is about to begin, and that the Grand Princess should not lose any face for the Imperial Family. "

Qu Xue'er's heart jumped, was father still like this?
