Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Shen Nankui was very familiar with the capital city. This place was only separated from Lan Fangzhai by a street. Even if he walked there, half an hour was enough to make two round trips. He wondered if Gu Yichuan was tripped by something, otherwise why would he not come back for so long?

She wanted to go over and take a look, but the coachman had not returned for a long time, and she couldn't just leave the carriage there, so she could only wait there.

Gu Yichuan bought some snacks at Lan Fang Zhai and was about to return when a speeding horse-drawn carriage suddenly rushed out from the intersection, knocking down several stalls along the way and almost running a six or seven-year-old child under the horse's hooves.

If the driver had not been skilled in driving and had not reined in the horse in time, the child would have been killed on the spot.

Everyone on the street was horrified and stepped aside.

Although the driver avoided the child and did not hurt anyone, he still couldn't help cursing.

"You blind little bastard, you dared to rush in front of the carriage. If you disturb the nobles in the carriage, your life will be more than enough to compensate for it!"

He spoke extremely arrogantly, but this carriage looked like it belonged to someone rich or noble, and the person inside must be an important person. No one dared to join in the discussion, and they just wanted to wait until he vented his anger and left, and then go and see if the child was okay.

The child's parents were not around. He had just rolled under the horse's belly and was already scared out of his wits. Now he was scolded and was so scared that he squatted on the ground and cried.

After the driver vented his anger, he was about to drive away.

A young woman's pretty face suddenly popped out from the carriage. She first glanced outside and then scolded the driver, "Useless thing, how did you drive the carriage? You almost hit the princess's face. Be careful when you go back and get a beating!"

She pointed to the crying child on the ground.

"And he, not only did he scare the princess, but now he's making a noise here, making the princess upset. Why don't you whip him for me?"

When everyone heard that the person in the car was actually the princess, no one dared to speak up for him, even though they felt sorry for the child.

That's the princess, who has the guts to offend her?

It seems that this child can only blame himself for his bad luck...

The driver apologized hurriedly, received the order, rolled up the whip, got off the carriage, and walked towards the child.

"You little bastard, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being blind!"

The driver whipped the boy fiercely.

"stop!"

A low shout was heard, and it was Gu Yichuan who stood in front of the child.

The driver frowned and said, "Who are you? Get out of my way! Don't block me from teaching this ignorant person a lesson!"

Gu Yichuan protected the child behind him and said to the people in the car, "This child didn't do it on purpose. Please forgive him for his young age and ignorance, Princess."

The clear voice sounded, and everyone on the street looked admiring.

Isn’t this young man afraid of offending people?

"Why should I forgive him? Just because he is young, does that mean he can't tell right from wrong?" A slightly arrogant voice came from the car.

Gu Yichuan bowed and saluted, "I'll apologize to the princess on behalf of this child. I hope the princess will show some leniency."

"Heh." The person in the car chuckled.

"Why can you take someone else's place? He just startled the horse and caused me to bump my head and almost get disfigured. Shouldn't I punish him? Since you don't want to see him get punished, why don't you take the beating for him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the maid who had just stuck her head out got off the car, and with her, another young girl got off.

Two people placed the footstools, one lifted the curtain, and the other bent over and stood by the door.

After a moment, a pair of slender hands stretched out, and a slender figure with noble aura helped the maid get off the car and stood beside the carriage.

In fact, Princess Yongjia didn't need to get off the car, but she was just curious and wanted to see who had the courage to come out and show off his injustice in front of her after knowing her identity?

But she didn't expect that the one who spoke was such a handsome young man...

"you……"

She was stunned for a moment.

When Gu Yichuan saw her getting off the car, he first bowed without being servile or arrogant, and then said, "Just now, the princess talked about right and wrong, so I would like to argue with the princess to see who is right and who is wrong."

Princess Yongjia stared at his face infatuatedly, and couldn't help sighing in her heart, how could life be so beautiful?

The piled-up stones are like jade, the rows of pines are like emerald, and Lang Yan is unique and there is no other like him in the world.

Isn't that him you're talking about?

She was distracted for a moment and didn't even hear clearly what he said. It was only when the maid reminded her that she came back to her senses.

Princess Yongjia suppressed her amazed look, glanced at him calmly and said, "Isn't it wrong to disturb this princess?"

"Yes, but there is always cause and effect. If the princess hadn't ridden her horse in the street, how could this child have disturbed the princess' carriage?"

"In that case, it is I who am wrong?"

Gu Yichuan looked solemn, "According to the laws of this dynasty, you cannot drive fast in a busy city without a reason. The princess has already violated the law. Not only did she knock down a vendor along the way, she also nearly injured someone. Isn't this a fault?"

"Oh? How do you know? I'm not in a hurry."

Gu Yichuan asked: "May I ask, Princess, is there any urgent official document that needs to be delivered?"

"No." Princess Yongjia shook her head.

"Princess, is there anyone in your family who is in urgent need of medical attention?"

"That's not the case."

"If that's the case, how can it be right to ignore the law and ride a horse in the street?"

Princess Yongjia became more and more curious about him and asked, "But I have always been like this, and no one has ever dared to say anything against me. You look like a scholar, don't you? Do you know the consequences of offending me?"

Gu Yichuan remained calm and composed, "I am speaking from a reasonable perspective and have no intention of going against the princess. I just want to ask the princess to let this child go."

"What if I don't?"

Gu Yichuan frowned slightly and said in a clear voice: "Then I will report the princess' words and deeds today to the relevant government offices. Although I am just an insignificant scholar, I believe that the imperial censors in the court will surely speak up for justice and uphold justice. Even if the princess is of noble status, she cannot ignore the words of the officials, right?"

Princess Yongjia suddenly laughed, "You are so brave. You are the first person who dares to threaten me in the street."

"I don't dare."

Princess Yongjia glanced at the child and waved her hand nonchalantly.

"Forget it. I'm not an unreasonable person. Let's let him go today."

She winked, and the maid behind her took out a piece of silver from her sleeve and threw it at the child's feet.

"Don't cry, this is a gift from the Princess. Use it to buy candy!"

Princess Yongjia looked at Gu Yichuan again, "What's your name, and where are you from?"
