"Your Majesty, I'm so grateful for Zhiwei's kindness." Zhao Ruxi bowed her hands toward the capital and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Deng."

She also knew that the decree would only be spread in the capital. Now that Eunuch Deng was willing to work so hard and go to Nanyang and Gusu, it was all because Xiao Ge valued Xiao Lingyan and her.

Liu Hongyu and others also felt the same way. Liu Hongyu and Li Li felt more and more that they had made a wise decision by siding with Zhao Ruxi immediately.

Eunuch Deng glanced behind him again and gestured to the two people standing behind him: "This is Zhang Tao and this is Guo Cheng. They are both the imperial guards in front of the emperor. They often accompany the emperor and serve as ministers in the court."

Everyone recognizes it."

"The Emperor said that as a woman, Mr. Zhao has worked hard for the imperial court, which is particularly rare. The world has always valued a woman's reputation. Now that Mr. Zhao has become the royal daughter-in-law, the world will be even more harsh on you. These two imperial guards are special to you.

Granted to you, you will be able to protect Mr. Zhao when you meet a young person."

Eunuch Deng was very particular about what he said.

Xiao Ge sent a guard to Zhao Ruxi. If she were called princess at this time, it would give people a very strange feeling that the father-in-law sent a guard to his daughter-in-law, which would make people feel uncomfortable no matter how they think about it.

But if the emperor sends escorts to his ministers, then there is no problem. After hearing this, everyone will not think in that direction.

So he used to call Zhao Ruxi "Princess", but now he calls him "Master Zhao". If you are not a particularly keen person, you will not be able to hear the meaning behind this.

Zhao Ruxi's face was filled with surprise, and she turned towards the capital to express her gratitude again: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

When she stood up, two imperial guards came forward to greet her: "Zhang Tao and Guo Cheng have met the princess."

"No courtesy." Zhao Ruxi raised her hand without being humble or overbearing.

The two stood up.

Zhao Ruxi turned to look at Eunuch Deng: "Eunuch-in-law just said that the two imperial guards were given to me by the emperor. I would like to ask, who do the two imperial guards obey?"

Everyone: "..."

The atmosphere suddenly solidified for a moment.

The emperor's gift is a great gift. No matter who you are, they will only accept it with fear and fear. They will not dare to ask more questions. They will also be polite to these two guards. Although they will not treat them as honored guests, they will definitely not

Treat them like your own subordinates. No matter what the emperor said at the beginning, everyone will regard their master as the emperor, not themselves.

But Zhao Ruxi asked, is this because he is ignorant, or is he too courageous and does not have much respect for the royal family?

When Zhao Ruxi asked these questions, her eyes fell on the faces of Eunuch Deng, Zhang Tao and Guo Cheng. She wanted to see the subconscious reactions of these people.

Zhang Tao and Guo Cheng had a trace of confusion on their faces, and they all turned their heads to look at Eunuch Deng. They didn't know how to position their new identities.

Eunuch Deng was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses.

"Hahahaha... Can I say that Mr. Zhao really deserves to be an unmarried couple with His Highness King Qi? The two questions asked are exactly the same. When the emperor was discussing their marriage with Mr. Kumu, the emperor specially called His Highness King Qi.

.His Royal Highness King Qi also asked this question when it came to giving you a royal guard."

He raised his hand and arched it towards the capital: "The Emperor said that even though Mr. Zhao has not yet married His Highness King Qi, he is already a member of the royal family since the marriage decree has been issued. It is appropriate for Mr. Zhao to have imperial guards by his side.

Zhang Tao and Guo Cheng have given gifts to Mr. Zhao, and they should obey Mr. Zhao's orders. From now on, when Mr. Zhao marries His Highness the King of Qi, they will belong to the Palace of the King of Qi."

He winked playfully: "The emperor said that as for whether they will obey the orders of King Qi or the Princess of Qi, then you two will have to discuss it yourself, hahaha..."

Liu Hongyu and others also quickly cheered and laughed.

Zhang Tao and Guo Cheng quickly saluted Zhao Ruxi again: "I have met my master."

The nature of this gift was completely different from the one just now. The attitude of everyone in the state government towards Zhao Ruxi had changed again.

This Master Zhao is not only powerful to them, but also to the royal family. He is not afraid of the royal family at all.

It seems that only such girls can marry into the royal family and become royal wives. Compared with them, they are far different in terms of character.

Chen Kang looked at Zhao Ruxi, who was standing in the middle of the crowd and had always been the center of attention, and sighed inwardly.

If he had not followed Cai Yaozong in targeting Zhao Ruxi from the beginning, but instead directly showed his favor to Zhao Ruxi like Li Li, Zhao Ruxi would have had a small amount of resources at his fingertips, which would have been enough for his children and grandchildren to enjoy.

No matter what, as long as he becomes a subordinate of Zhao Ruxi, his power will be no worse than that of Cai Yaozong.

It's a pity that he missed this opportunity and offended Zhao Ruxi.

But it's not too late to show good intentions. Even if you can't please Zhao Ruxi, it would be good if you can make her stop holding grudges.

He looked at the crowd of people watching in the Yamen, waved to his entourage, and withdrew from the crowd.

Yang Jie and Xiang Ming received instructions from Zhao Ruxi yesterday. At this time, the three people's positions were also very particular. Lu Yun followed Zhao Ruxi closely, Xiang Ming was a little further away from them, and Yang Jie, who has always been taciturn, existed

People with a lower sense of belonging stand on the periphery of the crowd.

Seeing Chen Kang walking out at this time, he followed him quietly.

Although he was originally a bodyguard rather than a secret guard, he had to learn how to reduce his presence and hide himself.

Therefore, not only Chen Kang, but also everyone in the yamen who focused on Zhao Ruxi and Eunuch Deng did not notice his movements.

Chen Kang walked out from the corridor and saw the two gatekeepers standing in the yard with grins on their faces, watching the fun. He patted one of them on the back and said, "Aren't you gatekeepers? Why are you still there?

Here? Hurry and stand at the door. If something happens and bumps into the princess and Eunuch Deng, be careful of your lives."

Only then did the two government officials remember their responsibilities and hurried to the door.

Seeing Chen Kang walking out together, the two couldn't help but curiously asked: "Chen Jingcheng, why are you out?"

Chen Kang ignored them, walked out of the yamen door and looked outside, and saw several horses tied up in the open space outside the yamen, and a person who looked like a guard guarding them.

He quickly led his entourage over, introduced himself to the man, and said: "Master Zhao invited Eunuch Deng and the adults to have dinner at Tianfu Tower. It is estimated that you will stay here for half an hour. The horse ran from the capital

Nanyang, in such a hot day, we still need to eat grass and drink water. Why don't I ask my attendants to take the horses into the state government office, and then come back to get them after you have eaten?"

The man was angry about this.

They were going to Gusu soon. These horses needed to eat grass and drink water, otherwise they would be unable to run halfway. They originally planned to supply the horses at Nanyang Prefecture Government Office, but all the gatekeepers followed Eunuch Deng and the others in.
