The above joy is never something to begged for.
It's in exchange.
Deng Yi has always believed that whether it is money or other abilities, it is exchanged, not asking for anything.
For example, what the officials just mentioned Chu Ku.
Everyone said that Chu Ku had lost the favor of His Majesty, but no one noticed that a person who had lost his favor of His Majesty still held the position of General of Guard in the border county fortress for more than ten years.
That means that Chu Ku was not seeking His Majesty’s favor, but in exchange for it.
It was well known that Chu Ku had the ability to exchange for Fu Yao to the sky before, but after that, Chu Ku was punished without being punished, and there must be this unknown exchange.
Later, the King of Zhongshan asked him to make friends with Chu Ku if he had the chance, which further confirmed his speculation.
Of course he didn't mind helping this.
Of course, he did not plan to make friends with Chu Ku. No matter who it was, he would not make friends with him, but he would exchange it. However, he would have a better estimate of the price, so he didn't mind Chu Ku's daughter's deliberate approaching, or to please.
The girl was pleasing him without any concealment, from the moment she saw him.
Logically, she should have pleased him, after all, she was the one who came to catch her, but the girl's personality did not look like someone who was willing to please others. Even when she pleased him, the girl's eyes were full of arrogance.
This time, the incident further confirmed his opinion. He dared not retreat when facing the third prince.
She refused to accept the mistake of the third prince and was willing to win the favor of the third prince. She was reluctant at all, she was willing to fight.
Chu Ku and his daughter are all very interesting people, Deng Yi smiled.
At this time, we had already arrived at the inner court gate, which was the heaviest palace gate leading to the emperor. The officials in front of the gate saw Deng Yi and greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Deng is in a good mood today."
Deng Yi smiled: "That's right, we're going to have a drink, I'll treat you."
Several officials laughed, "Okay, okay." "Mr. Deng's wine is the best." "Mr. Deng's wine and food are also very good."
The group was talking and laughing. Several eunuchs came quickly from outside. Seeing these people, the officials hurriedly moved away, but Deng Yi raised his hand to stop him.
The officials were startled and it was too late to say anything. Deng Yi had already said to the eunuchs: "House Card."
The eunuchs were also startled and seemed a little unbelievable, looking at Deng Yi who was blocking the road.
"Are you blind?" the eunuch in the lead cursed, "Don't you recognize who I am?"
An official hurriedly laughed: "Eunuch Zhu calmed down, Lord Deng is new."
The other officials hurriedly whispered to Deng Yi, "This is Eunuch Zhu in front of the prince." They urged him to apologize quickly.
Deng Yi remained motionless and said, "I know Eunuch Zhu, so I asked about the waist card."
Eunuch Zhu and the officials' expressions suddenly became even more ugly. Everyone knew what this meant.
"Bold." Eunuch Zhu's face turned red with anger, "You dare to disrespect the prince! The prince can go to and from the palace at will. This is Your Majesty's will. You little official, you dare to provoke-"
The eunuchs behind him were eyeing him. Because the prince liked riding and shooting and strong people, the eunuchs around him were all tall and ready to tear the little official apart for a while.
If they really tear an official to death, the prince will not only not punish them, but will also praise them for being brave.
The officials did not dare to say a word, only Deng Yi continued to say: "But you are not the prince."
Eunuch Zhu really wanted to do something, but fortunately, laughter came from the palace gate.
"Why did Eunuch Zhu come?" The person who came was also a eunuch, his hair turned white, and his kind face was a little angry, "Your Majesty has asked several times."
Seeing this old eunuch, Eunuch Zhu put away his viciousness, but he was still angry: "It's not that I'm late, Grandpa Qi, this slave can't get in."
The old eunuch came over and probably understood what was going on. He glanced at Deng Yi and said, "There is a newcomer. This Eunuch Zhu is here to deliver something for the prince. Your Majesty is waiting."
Deng Yi looked at him: "House Card."
The old eunuch was stunned: "Oh, you don't even recognize me." He shook his head and laughed at himself, "It's not your fault. I'm old and don't come out to walk around often."
The officials said anxiously: "Mr. Deng, this is the Eunuch Qi in front of His Majesty, who serves His Majesty's daily life." Then he explained to Eunuch Qi, "The new one is outside the palace, the Weiwei Mansion, and he has never been to the palace at all, and he doesn't know anything."
Eunuch Qi said, "Why send someone who doesn't know anything?" Chang brow raised and looked at Deng Yi, "Are you offending someone?"
It's hard for everyone to answer this, and they sneer.
Deng Yi did not answer, just said: "No one understands it when he was born, and he learns it step by step. I will not refuse to recognize it when I meet my father-in-law next time, but--"
Before he could finish his words, Eunuch Qi reached out and took out his waist card: "This is my waist card. I'm here to pick up Eunuch Zhu, right?"
Eunuch Zhu sneered: "Why tell him more, just drive him out."
Deng Yi ignored him, took the card and looked at it carefully, nodded, and made a clear way: "Please."
Eunuch Zhu glanced at him up and down: "Deng Yi, right? We remember you."
Deng Yishi said, "I just came here and didn't know any rules. If you offend me, please take responsibility. I will understand the rules here more and I will never delay my father-in-law's errand in the future." As he said, he took off a jade pendant from his waist, "This is the jade passed down from the government family, so please accept it with a smile."
Who is this person? Eunuch Zhu was stunned: "You, you."
There are so many gifts to the eunuchs, but it was the first time I saw you who gave gifts in public.
Is this little clerk teasing him?
"Who cares about you?" Eunuch Zhu shook his sleeves in anger and knocked Deng Yi's jade pendant to the ground, "Get out of the way."
Deng Yi took advantage of the words.
Eunuch Qi laughed: "Okay, don't be angry with him." He pulled Eunuch Zhu inward and whispered, "It must be the one who offended someone and was assigned to him - if you go back and ask Mr. Yang and the others, you will probably know what the origin is."
If he offended someone and was thrown here and was waiting to see him get into trouble and be taught a lesson, then Eunuch Zhu would not be willing to stand up. He could teach people a lesson, but he would not be used as a whip - even the people in Yang Guojiu's family would not do it.
"Not everyone can come to this palace gate." He said angrily, "I will tell the prince to check them carefully, it is unreasonable!"
The two of them gradually drifted away and could not see them until they entered the deep palace.
Deng Yi leaned over and picked up the jade pendant from the ground, and looked at the officials around him. The officials looked complicated.
"It scares everyone." Deng Yi said with a smile, shaking his jade pendant, "When I become it, I will shock you tonight."
The officials were both angry and funny. They understood Deng Yi's behavior, and also understood why he could not keep gifts everywhere.
"What do you mean by you?" they said helplessly.
Deng Yi smiled and said, "Photo, no matter what, you must retreat without fighting."
If you can't fight, just bow your head.
In this way, although some people will laugh at it, they will also be remembered by some people.
He looked at the direction of the deep palace.
......
......
Compared to Deng Yi, a minor official who guarded the gate and was responsible, the guards who patrolled the palace were more tactful. They stood up and looked squinting, allowing the eunuchs to come and go.
A phoenix-eyed boy standing on the city wall yawned bored and looked at the guards gathered next to him.
"Hey, is there anything new lately?" he asked.
The guards shook their heads: "There is no such new thing."
"Not necessarily." The phoenix-eyed boy frowned and raised his eyebrows again, "Have you heard about the Yaqu Pavilion in the city? A woman—"
Before he could finish his words, the guards looked like they could not stand it. They rushed over, pinched their arms and pressed their shoulders, and even bowed repeatedly.
"My Master Jiu, please spare everyone. I have said this several times."
"You can't talk about it for the rest of your life after watching the fun."
"Yan came, please go out again, maybe you can see a new excitement."
Going out? That's absolutely not possible. Xie Yanlai sneered. A group of people were laughing and making fun. The guards watching the fun suddenly remembered something.
"Hey, when it comes to new and lively, there is really something." He said, "Everyone is in the Yaqu Pavilion in the city-"
The guards immediately wailed, "I have heard it!" "I have already recited it." "I dreamed that Miss Chu--"
When I said this, I was kicked by someone, but I couldn't see who kicked me clearly, so I could only scream.
The guard waved his hand: "No, I mean that because of the Yaqu Pavilion incident, something new happened, and it was related to the third prince."
It was related to the third prince? Everyone laughed and stopped and looked at him.
Xie Yanlai also looked over, his eyes froze, and he immediately figured out something, gloating and muttering, "I deserve it, I know it will be like this."
Others were asking “What’s the matter?”
"It's that Miss Chu." The guard said, "It's over with his brother. Now the third prince has asked her to compete with everyone."
Although she did not fight like Yaquge, Miss Chu suffered much more pain than being beaten.
"I bow my head and admit defeat over and over again, write and write and seal people, and the shame is engraved on my body, and I will never be washed away in my life."
The other guards imagined that the scene happened to them, and they would die, or they would never come out to meet people in their lives.
They are men after all, so what can I do in the future if Miss Chu is a girl?
"It's also the fault of this Miss Chu. The third prince clearly made her admit her mistake." A guard frowned. "She admitted her defeat from the beginning and said she could not compare to her. It would be fine. Who would really make things difficult for scholars?"
Another nodded: "Yes, she is still too arrogant. She has always admitted defeat anyway, so why bother?"
Someone laughed.
"Nonsense."
Who? Everyone followed the sound and saw the lazy phoenix-eyed boy standing behind the city wall.
"Retreat without fighting is to admit defeat," he said. "If you lose in battle, you don't lose."
What is it not to lose? The guards frowned.
"Besides, if you lose, you might win." The phoenix-eyed boy said, laughing, "Once this happens, she will be rampant."
......
......
In a group of ten people sitting in the seats, the girl leaned over and stood in front of one of them, with a contemplation expression, and then picked up the chess piece and fell down.
As the chess piece fell, the situation on the chess board changed instantly, and the young man sitting opposite him turned blue in an instant, and a woman's crisp smile fell on his head at the same time.
"Your son, you lost."
When the people around saw this, they shook their heads and said they were powerless to turn things around. The young man simply abandoned his son and wanted to get up and leave, but was stopped by Chu Zhao.
"Young Master, please wait." She said, "Your calligraphy skills are not as good as mine, and you are not as insightful as your topic just now. Now that you have lost chess, I have won you, right?"
The young man turned his head to look at the girl. The girl's eyebrows and eyes were bright and smiling, and she looked so pleasing to the eye. Just pretend to be a smile on her face.
He nodded and bowed: "I lost." After saying that, he was going to leave, but Chu Zhao still shouted at him.
A maid also emerged and blocked the way with a fierce look.
"Young Master Zhang." Chu Zhao looked at him. The girl was only thirteen years old and was shorter than men like them. But at this moment, she raised her chin slightly, her eyes fell high, and her expression was arrogant and cold. "Although many people have witnessed it, I have no basis for saying it. Please write it down on this piece of paper. Zhang Liang Shuqi in Yuancheng is not as talented as Chu Zhao."
The young master Zhang was stunned and immediately turned red, and the others around him frowned.
He actually returned what others said to her before.
This woman has been admitting defeat these days, with a respectful and humble attitude. Unexpectedly, she won once and was so rampant.
"Miss Chu, I just won once." Someone said sarcastically.
Chu Zhao smiled: "If you win once, you will win."
Her eyes glanced at everyone, and her smile sneered.
