Xuanyuan Qing was so annoyed that her heart ached: “Do you have to keep being so negative and jinx me? Can’t you say something nice and not wish for me to fall?”

“This servant didn’t mean it that way.”

Ming Xiang tried to explain with a bitter smile, pointed at the tree that was over ten meters high, and her calf uncontrollably trembled: “This tree is really too high, this servant is truly worried for the Princess.”

“Let go of me. I don’t believe that I can’t even just pick a kite without falling.”

Xuanyuan Qing, pent up with frustration, pushed Ming Xiang away without thinking. She leaped and stepped on the tree trunk, climbed onto the nearest branch to the ground.

Ming Xiang was frightened and her heart jumped wildly. With legs that occasionally shivered, she walked under the tree branch, stretched out her arms, secretly preparing to catch her if she really fell.

The kite hung on the treetop, swaying gently in the cold night breeze.

Xuanyuan Qing used her hands and feet to climb up the tree branches. The higher she climbed, the thinner the branches became, unable to support her weight as they violently swayed.

“Princess, be careful!”

Ming Xiang’s face turned pale with fright, her breaths almost stopped.

“Crack.”

Just as Xuanyuan Qing grabbed the kite, the tree branch under her feet made a snapping sound.

She stepped into the air, falling along with the broken branch.

“Princess!”

Ming Xiang let out a miserable yell, stretched out her arms, and blankly tried to catch her.

Two fast horses passed by the alley entrance. Just as Xuanyuan Qing fell, a nimble figure leaped from the horseback, stepped on the emptiness in midair, and caught her falling body.

Xuanyuan Qing’s beautiful eyes widened in surprise. Under the bright moonlight, she stared at the handsome face so close to her, her breathing almost stopped.

Lin Jinyun, holding her in his arms, spun twice in the air and landed steadily.

An appealing fragrance filled his nose, he was startled for a moment, and suddenly realized what had happened. He released her, subconsciously took two steps back, and bowed his hand.

“This one meant no offense, miss. I must take my leave now.”

“Wait.”

Seeing him turning to leave, Xuanyuan Qing impulsively grabbed his sleeve: “My benefactor saved my life. May I know your name?”

Lin Jinyun smiled and declined politely: “No need for thanks, it was just a simple act.”

Xuanyuan Qing held onto his sleeve tightly: “To my benefactor, this might be a trivial matter, but it’s different to me. I’m grateful for your kindness, and will repay you with a lavish gift someday.”

“No need.”

Lin Jinyun used a clever trick to brush off her hand.

The attendant brought the horses over, and without any hesitation, Lin Jinyun mounted on one and rode away.

“Benefactor, I will definitely repay your kindness.”

Seeing him leaving abruptly, Xuanyuan Qing’s heart sank, but suddenly got an idea. She pulled off her jade pendant and forcefully stuffed it into his hand.

Lin Jinyun stared at the green jade pendant bewildered for a few seconds, glanced at the girl dressed as a boy under the moonlight, and felt a strange familiarity in his eyes, as if they had met before.

Xuanyuan Qing, facing his puzzled gaze, fluttered her eyelashes like butterfly wings, revealing a shy young girl’s demeanor.

“We shall meet again.”

Lin Jinyun put away his odd emotions, bowed his hand, and galloped away on his horse, heading into the distance.

“We will definitely meet again.”

Xuanyuan Qing watched him leave, her heart pounding like a little deer, her ears blushing as they seemed to bleed at the corners.

Imperial Palace.

Two fast horses entered the palace gate, crossed the square in front of the hall, and headed straight for the Morning Sun Hall.

Lin Jinyun dismounted, handed the reins to the attendant, and walked up the steps into the hall.
