"Master, if you are so cold and indifferent, you will have no friends."
"Master, you have to be more friendly. Come on, smile..."
"Shut up."
"Master! How could you do this? You've hurt my feelings! It'll take ten plates of pastries to glue them together!"
Xie Rangchen silently quickened his pace, as if he wanted to get rid of Helian Yu.
However, Helian Yu will not let him succeed.
"Master, are you too lazy to have fun? Do you want to lose me, your most outstanding, warm-hearted and well-behaved disciple?"
“Master——”
Xie Rangchen stopped, turned around and stared at Helian Yu, who blinked awkwardly.
"Ah, Master looks good again."
"I will stay at the Imperial Master's Mansion for the next few days, practice archery at dawn and go to bed at midnight."
Helian Yu blinked and turned his back: "Ah, I feel dizzy, dizzy, I can't hear clearly... wuwu... Where is Master? Why can't I see him..."
Xie Rangchen curled his fingers slightly, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then left her behind and turned away.
Helian Yu turned around, smacked his lips, touched his chin and sighed: "It's over, I played too hard..."
Chang Zuo suddenly popped up: "The young master went to the laundry house."
"What?"
"The young master has a habit of going to the laundry house to do laundry every time he gets mad at you."
Helian Yu stared at Chang Zuo dimly: "You've never made him angry?"
How could she be the only one who made him angry! "Yes, I did." Chang Zuo's eyebrows drooped slightly, "The master punished me to do ironwork for ten days."
Helian Yu: "..."
So pitiful.
"Brother Chang Zuo~" Helian Yu hugged his thighs and rushed to him, "Master has gone to wash clothes, let's go out and play too~"
"Not good, right?"
Chang Zuo was eager to try.
"Press the corners of your mouth first."
"Walk!"
Chang Zuo picked up Helian Yu, held him in his arms, and flew out of the Imperial Master's Mansion. Helian Yu hurriedly patted him on the shoulder.
"Wait a moment, first look through Master's robes, spend as much as you can find!"
Chang Zuo readily agreed.
The two men searched the main courtyard and found a total of 12,000 silver notes, three taels of silver, and ten copper coins.
"Master is so rich~"
The two went to the street, bought a bag of osmanthus cake, and then found a theater to watch a play.
What a coincidence.
"Ah! Lord Lu!"
When Lu Jing saw Helian Yu again, his pupils almost popped out. He subconsciously tightened the dew bag on his waist, wondering if the 50,000 taels of silver he had on him could be kept safe.
"I pay my respects to the princess."
Lu Jing and Helian Yu were already very familiar with each other, and since they were traveling together, they could avoid many complicated rules.
Helian Yu climbed down from Chang Zuo and sat on the chair, looking at Lu Jing and the young woman next to him with bright eyes: "Lord Lu, your daughter is so beautiful!"
"Your Highness, this is my...beloved concubine."
Lu Jing's old face turned red. He looked handsome, but he was over 40 after all, and looked a little weathered. His concubine was only 17, in her prime. What's more, to be honest, his eldest daughter was already married.
Helian Yu nodded: "Yes, no wonder he looks better than Lord Lu, and it seems that he also knows martial arts."
Chang Zuo's eyes fell on the woman next to Lu Jing, with vigilance in his eyes.
Marquis Lu frowned: "Your Highness, you are joking. Liu doesn't know martial arts—"
The woman responded and struggled with him.
Lu Jing: “???”
Helian Yu had expected this. She lay on the table, picked up a piece of cake with her white jade-like hands, and put it to Lu Jing's mouth: "Are you shocked, Lord Lu? A new concubine, right? Or a new one after you returned to Beijing."
"Lord Lu, how come you have become so stupid after a trip to Jinling?"
"Lord Lu was born a military commander, right? How come I can't tell?"
Helian Yu asked a series of deadly questions, which made Lu Jing's face turn red.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is confused."
Lu Jing couldn't tell what he thought of Helian Yu. He was on the side of the Fourth Prince, but his loyalty came first to the country and the emperor. Helian Yu was obviously beneficial to the country, but he also had an obvious relationship with the prince.
It is more tangled and harder to untangle than a ball of wool.
Helian Yu nibbled on the cake and waved her hands gently: "It's normal. You rulers and subjects are scheming against each other every day. It's normal to make mistakes occasionally."
Lu Jing blushed and said, "Your Highness, that's called a miscalculation, not a misstep."
"Oh, it's all the same."
While the two were chatting, Chang Zuo was fighting with the woman, and the other guests in the theater either ran away or hid under the tables.
The theater owner was trembling with fear, with a big wooden pot lid on his head, and ran to Lu Jing: "Sir Lu, will the losses from the case be sent to your house as usual?"
Lu Jing didn't care about the small amount of money, "Yeah."
"Boss, is there anything new recently?" Helian Yu half-lay on the table and leaned towards the boss.
"Something new...something new..." The boss recalled nervously, and suddenly slammed the table, "Yes!"
"Recent rumors among the people say that a phoenix girl will appear in the world, and whoever gets the phoenix girl will get the world!"
Helian Yu was shocked: "It was said before that whoever controls Zhaoyang will control the world. They always make up stories. The last time they made up stories, it seems that they were talking about the Hua family. I don't know for now about this time."
"Is this Lord Lu's daughter? She's so smart!" The boss complimented with a smile, "This is probably just nonsense!"
"I have an older cousin in Zhaoyang County. He works as a police chief in the government office. He wrote to me and told me that Zhaoyang County had tried to plant a new type of wheat, and the yield per mu was 100 dan!"
"Master Lu, do you believe it?"
Just as Lu Jing was about to speak, the boss slammed the table in excitement.
"You definitely don't believe it!"
Lu Jing: “…”
He helped transport the wheat seeds, so of course he believed it!
The boss slammed the table excitedly: "Don't say you don't believe it, I don't believe it either! I immediately thought he was drunk and talking nonsense, but it turned out to be true!
"Do you know who did this?" The boss approached Lu Jing, looking around with sly eyes, and whispered, "It's a popular person around Princess Zhaoyang! Although it was presented by the prince, it's weird to be in the hands of Princess Zhaoyang!"
"I think that Princess Zhaoyang will be able to produce wheat seeds with an output of 100 dan per mu as soon as she returns to the capital. She must be good at something. Lord Lu, you might as well try to win over Princess Zhaoyang. Maybe you will be famous forever!"
"I heard that Princess Zhaoyang is a child. Wouldn't that make it easier to fool her?"
Lu Jing & Helian Yu: "..."
I was offended.
Lu Jing didn't want to listen to his boss anymore, so he sent him away.
Helian Yu tugged at Lu Jing's sleeve: "Lord Lu, how do you plan to win me over?"
Lu Jing's eyes twitched, and he pulled off the dew bag with heartache, and handed it to Helian Yu reluctantly.
He even suspected that the boss was hired to help Helian Yu rob him of his money! Chang Zuo captured the woman, and Helian Yu took the money, getting the best of both worlds.
"Lord Lu, please send him to handle the case. I have to hurry up and have fun."
Lu Jing gritted his teeth and said, "Someone, send him to the Dali Temple! Also, I want to go to the palace to see the emperor!"
I have to remind His Majesty that Princess Zhaoyang can't always run outside the palace. I also have to remind the Imperial Master to focus on her studies! Bullshit slip! He miscalculated! After bidding farewell to Lu Jing, Helian Yu followed the crowd to Shangyang Tower. Outside Shangyang Tower, she saw Helian Mo, whom she had just met.
Next to the tall and dark Helian Mo was a pretty and fair-skinned girl.
