Helian Yu touched his chin again and asked her in confusion: "But, your young lady's aunt is Concubine Zhao, and the emperor is your young lady's uncle? Hey, then do you call the emperor husband or uncle?"
Miss Zhao's face turned red and white, and the maid was choked.
"A child doesn't need to know so much." Chang Zuo grabbed Helian Yu by the back of her collar and threw her into the carriage.
Chang An chased after him, "Don't hurt the master!"
"Stop! You destroyed the carriage of my general's mansion, and you think you can just let it go like this?" Miss Zhao raised her voice and stopped several people.
Helian Yu was being held in the air by Chang Zuo, with his legs dangling.
Hearing what Miss Zhao said, she turned around, snorted at Miss Zhao, and pointed at Chang Zuo: "Do you know who he is? He is from the Imperial Master's Mansion... that... the Imperial Master's Mansion!"
Helian Yu was not clear about Chang Zuo's official position. He always heard people calling him Lord Chang Zuo, but he didn't know what kind of lord they were calling him.
"The Imperial Master's Mansion?" Miss Zhao and the other person looked at each other and their expressions changed.
Chang Zuo paused, and couldn't deny it. He threw Helian Yu to Chang An and looked at Miss Zhao and her servant.
"Who are you to the Imperial Master's Mansion?" The maid stiffened her neck, her momentum weakened. "If you are just a groom, you should pay your respects to my young lady!"
Helian Yu stretched out his little body in Chang An's arms and rushed out, waving his claws and teeth: "Brother Chang Zuo! They said you are the national teacher! Scare them to death!"
Chang Zuo almost rolled his eyes at Helian Yu.
"Are you guys liars? Are you trying to use the name of the Imperial Master's Mansion to deceive people?"
"Miss, look at their carriages. Only commoners use such low-grade carriages. I think that even if they are from the Imperial Master's Mansion, they are only low-ranking servants. They definitely wouldn't dare to bully others in the name of the Imperial Master's Mansion!"
Chang Zuo really didn't want to use the name of the National Master's Mansion, but it was not appropriate to use the name of Princess Zhaoyang either, as it would not be easy for her to be too prominent.
However, you can't afford to lose.
"Master Chang Zuo!"
A horse-drawn carriage drove up on the street and the driver shouted at the top of his voice.
Miss Zhao and the other person looked at each other and whispered something.
The carriage slowly stopped, and the driver got off and greeted, "Greetings, Lord Chang Zuo."
Immediately afterwards, Lu Jing got out of the car.
Helian Yu sighed: What a corrupt official!
As soon as Lu Jing got off the carriage, he headed towards Chang Zuo, who was actually Helian Yu, and bowed, "Master Chang Zuo."
According to Lu Jing's rank, he did not need to pay homage to Chang Zuo, but he pretended to pay homage to Chang Zuo and the person he was paying homage to was Helian Yu.
Chang Zuo understood what he meant and returned the greeting.
Helian Yu pulled Chang An's collar, very surprised, "Brother Chang Zuo bowed to Lord Lu? Why is he suddenly polite?"
Chang An explained to her in a low voice. Helian Yu frowned and said, "Lord Lu is a smart guy."
Miss Zhao saw Marquis Lu's attitude and realized that she had hit a hard nail. She stepped forward quickly and said, "I am the general's only daughter, Zhao Yuer. I am here to meet Marquis Lu and meet you, my Lord. May you be well."
Marquis Lu's eyes darkened slightly. "I'm sorry to have missed Qiao'er. I ran into Miss Zhao today. This is the left master of the Imperial Master's Mansion, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War."
"Thanks to the Marquis, Yu'er is fortunate to meet the Marquis and the Lord. It's just that some misunderstandings occurred just now. I hope the Lord can forgive Yu'er. Yu'er will be grateful."
"Brother Chang Zuo! Ask her to pay the money! Pay the money!" Helian Yu reminded Chang Zuo in a hoarse voice.
Chang An couldn't bear to see Helian Yu screaming at the top of her lungs, so he carried her to Chang Zuo's side.
Miss Zhao was afraid that Helian Yu would say something disparaging about the emperor and that it would be extremely treasonous.
She winked at the maid and said with a smile, "Sir, we were indeed reckless. How can we rush recklessly on the imperial road in the capital? Here is one thousand taels of silver, which will be used as compensation for your carriage fee."
Chang Zuo stuffed a chestnut into Helian Yu's mouth to block her mouth, and then said, "Miss Zhao, since I have damaged your carriage, I cannot take the money."
When Helian Yu reached out to grab it, Chang Zuo gave him a death stare.
She withdrew her hand awkwardly and bumped into Chang An's arms.
Miss Zhao was embarrassed and turned to Marquis Lu for help, tears streaming down her face, "My Lord, Yu'er just returned to the capital and offended this gentleman. It was really an unintentional mistake..."
Lu Jing smiled and said, "Ms. Zhao, please don't be sad. The election is approaching. If there is any damage, it will be more trouble than gain."
The threatening words only made Miss Zhao more angry.
"I am an old acquaintance of General Fengcheng. Miss Zhao's carriage is damaged. Why don't you use my carriage to escort Miss Zhao to the palace?"
Miss Zhao's eyes lit up. With her family background and the carriage sent by Marquis Lu, how could she be rejected? "Thank you, my Lord."
Lu Jing politely sent Miss Zhao away.
In the carriage, Miss Zhao touched her chest and said, "Hong'er, do you think Lord Lu is trying to curry favor with me?"
"Of course it is. Miss's aunt is Concubine Zhao, one of the four consorts, and she has six princesses under her wing. It is inevitable that Miss will be selected."
"nature."
The carriage went farther and farther away, heading towards the palace gate.
Lu Jing took a step towards Helian Yu, "Your Highness, are you going to the Imperial Master's Residence? I have nothing to do, so I can escort Your Highness."
Helian Yu blinked, "No, we are going to buy a new carriage. Is Lord Lu going with you? Would it be too much trouble for you?"
It would be a waste if you don't cheat the corrupt official's money! Lu Jing smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, but the journey is not close. If Your Highness doesn't mind, I will ask my servants to prepare a spacious carriage for Your Highness to drive."
"Lord Lu is thoughtful." Helian Yu, the 'old Taoist', praised.
Lu Jing's eyes twitched, "It's your honor."
Lu Jing ordered his men to change to a new carriage, and called the patrol soldiers on duty to tow away the two damaged carriages and clean the streets.
In the palace.
The message was handed to Helian Su's desk. He quickly glanced through it and looked at Chang Hai.
"She is the only daughter of the flattering general. She is pretty, but it's a pity. Chang Hai, find a reason to get rid of her."
"I obey your order."
Helian Su flipped his hand and reviewed two more memorials, feeling annoyed for no reason. "Set up the imperial garden."
Chang Hai hurried to prepare, bringing along his maids and eunuchs.
When they reached the Imperial Garden, Helian Su looked at the flowers still blooming in the late winter and suddenly asked Chang Hai, "What kind of flowers does that little girl like? Did the Ministry of Internal Affairs remember it?"
Chang Hai remained silent, with a smile in his tone: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has remembered it, but this flower cannot be planted."
"Difficult to support?"
"Not really." Chang Hai sighed, "This flower is called 'Money Flower'."
Helian Su stroked the petals with his fingers, "Do I need her money? If I remember correctly, her monthly salary is 400 taels, and her rice allowance is 400 hu. I granted her Zhaoyang County, and the money from Muchang County will not be less. In addition, she cheated the Imperial Master, so she has a considerable income."
Chang Hai lowered his head. This was not Princess Zhaoyang's monthly salary at all; it was clearly a display of her favor.
"Well, send the basin of red coral I just got to her palace, so that when she returns from outside the palace today, she will only remember her master."
"I obey your order. Your Majesty, Princess Zhaoyang will surely be delighted by your grace."
"Oh. I don't dare to expect her to be happy."
