"If you want to break my legs, just kick me."

Chang Zuo put on a deadpan face and threatened without blinking.

Helian Yu angrily retracted her foot, squatted on the car and fiddled with her embroidered shoes, muttering softly, "I've had enough! I'm a princess! I'm a princess!"

Chang Zuo glanced at her, raised his scabbard, and pressed it against her back, coldly and ruthlessly: "Sit inside, you're blocking Chang An from getting on the bus."

Helian Yu: "..."

Enough! Helian Yu's face turned red with anger. She stood up and pointed at Chang Zuo with her little hand, "You——"

Chang Zuo handed over a bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts, "Here."

"You--how are you so nice?"

Chang An's eyelids twitched twice. His Highness was really flexible.

It is rare to see a princess like her.

Not a bit of dignity.

Chang An stepped on a footstool and got into the carriage. Chang Zuo threw the footstool onto the carriage, then threw a bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts to Chang An, then turned around and drove the car.

Chang An was stunned. The paper bag in his arms was slightly hot, so hot that he couldn't react for a moment.

"Master Chang Zuo, what is this?"

Chang Zuo sat upright and drove meticulously. "I bought two packs. Originally, one for me and one for the lady, but I didn't expect the lady to bring one more person. You eat half and leave the other half for me."

Chang An had mixed feelings, "Thank you, Lord Chang Zuo."

The carriage drove out of the Meridian Gate, went to the Imperial Street, and went directly to the Imperial Master's Mansion on East Street.

Helian Yu leaned against the window and saw many luxurious and noble carriages on the road, with tassels, necklaces and golden bells. In comparison, the carriage in the Imperial Master's Mansion was really not impressive.

Helian Yu peeled a chestnut, moved outside the carriage, lifted the curtain, and stuffed one into Chang Zuo's mouth.

"Brother Chang Zuo, when are we going to change the carriage?"

The long left face that was chewing chestnuts froze, "I'll spit it out for you."

"...Brother Chang Zuo, don't be so disgusting!" Helian Yu quickly retracted his hand and grabbed Chang Zuo's clothes on his shoulders to make himself stand more steadily. "Let's trick our master into paying! Isn't there money in the mansion?"

"The young master doesn't like extravagance."

Helian Yu groaned twice, "Then leave this carriage to him, and we two can buy a new one!"

"That's fine."

Chang An felt very uneasy and had deep doubts about the status of the imperial teacher.

"But, do you have money?" Chang Zuo asked Helian Yu.

"Master has it!" Helian Yu raised his head proudly, "We are going out to play today, so let's ask him for more money. Anyway, he doesn't go out and doesn't know the prices."

"It's not feasible." Chang Zuo shook his head rationally. "Last time you dragged him out to buy candied haws, he learned not to buy if they were too expensive, so he asked his subordinates to send him notebooks from time to time, and wrote down the price changes every few days."

Helian Yu raised his head in sorrow, "Hate it, he doesn't go out, why should he know the prices! I can't cheat him out of more money, it hurts my heart."

Chang Zuo nodded.

Chang An's eyes became more and more complicated. He always felt that one day, these two people would be taught a lesson by the imperial teacher.

A carriage suddenly rushed out from the bend ahead, and the driver shouted, "Get out of the way!"

“Hey! Ah——”

Helian Yu's body tilted and he almost fell off the carriage.

Chang Zuo grabbed Helian Yu's arm, and Chang An crawled over and grabbed one of her feet.

Half of Helian Yu's body was hanging in the air, and the other half was held in the hands of two men.

Chang Zuo steered the carriage to the inside of the street with one hand to avoid the speeding carriage, and with his other hand he pulled out a stone and threw it at the speeding horse's leg.

Chang An used his hands and feet to pull Helian Yu onto the carriage.

As soon as Helian Yu's little butt landed on the carriage, the carriage shook and was knocked against the wall. She was small and due to inertia, she hit the wood of the carriage.

Chang An quickly protected Helian Yu's head, touched it gently, and breathed a sigh of relief when he found no blood.

Looking down, Helian Yu's face was wrinkled and tearful.

Chang An took out a silk handkerchief and gently wiped her face. "Your Highness, I just checked and found that there is no vital injury. I will find a clinic to check it out later to feel at ease."

Helian Yu wiped his tears, covered his head and rushed out of the carriage, looking full of energy.

Chang An twisted the wet handkerchief, opened the car curtain and went to see the accident.

Accidents rarely happen at the intersection of Imperial Street and East Street. Most of the people here are officials, and if an accident happens to anyone of them, it will cause a big disturbance.

Chang Zuo was standing in front of another luxurious official carriage. He knocked on the wooden pillar of the carriage with his scabbard impatiently, "Come out!"

A sneer came from the carriage, "How dare you! Do you know who is the noble in the carriage? Why don't you make way?"

Helian Yu jumped off the carriage, picked up a straight wooden stick from the roadside, and stood next to Chang Zuo's thigh: "Where are you nobles from? Tell me your names!"

Helian Yu tugged at Chang Zuo's clothes and made a plan in a low voice, "If the people inside are expensive, we will run away. If we are expensive, we will ask the people inside to pay for the medical expenses."

Chang Zuo lowered his head and glanced at Helian Yu.

Staring at the stick in her hand,

I was jealous, but I kept a straight face: "Change."

"don't want!"

"Change."

"don't want!"

Chang Zuo drew out his own sword, a cold light flashed, "Switch."

Helian Yu stamped his feet in anger, "Chang Zuo! I am——"

Woo woo!

She is obviously a princess! They were forced to exchange the small wooden stick for the long sword, and the two knocked on the carriage again, but the person inside still did not come out.

Chang An took a deep breath and got off the carriage. Before he could get there, Chang Zuo stepped over with his foot and made a hole in the carriage.

Then Chang Zuo drew out his sword and slashed a few times in front of the carriage.

The carriage was torn apart.

Chang An paused, wishing he could escape immediately.

The carriage was hacked open by Chang Zuo, and the true face of the people inside was revealed.

A young girl and a maid of similar age.

"How dare you! How dare you disturb my young lady! Do you know my young lady's identity?"

Chang Zuo looked at Chang An with a frown on his face, "Do you know him?"

Chang An lowered his eyes, "If I'm not mistaken, she is the only daughter of General Fengcheng's family. There is a unique logo of General Fengcheng's family on the carriage."

"Hmph, you're quite knowledgeable." The master and servant got out of the car, and the maid praised Chang An sarcastically.

"Our general is on good terms with Marquis Lu and is highly regarded by His Majesty. My young lady's aunt is Concubine Zhao in the palace, and her status is extremely noble." The maid said in a pinched tone, "After the election on the second day of February, my young lady will be the master of the palace. You can't afford to offend her."

Helian Yu was tired of standing, so he leaned on his long left leg and hugged his scabbard, "Is your lady sure to be chosen?"

"Of course, my master is General Pingcheng, and my sister is Concubine Zhao. His Majesty is jealous, so he will naturally choose my young lady to enter the palace."

Helian Yu seemed to suddenly realize something, "Oh~ I see! The emperor is afraid of your general! He must choose your daughter to enter the palace, and then serve your daughter wholeheartedly! In this way, your general will not rebel!"

Chang An & Chang Zuo: "..."

Flatter the general?

It's terrible.
