The news brought by the eunuch was shocking.
His Majesty is smiling, His Majesty is very pleased, He is about to have his meal even before we reach the restaurant...
After hearing the latest news, Yuan Wei was as excited as when he won the first place in the imperial examination. He was so excited that he felt like he was floating. I said, how could the emperor just nod his head after reading my memorial? You all saw it! This is my true strength! Yuan Wei's head involuntarily raised 45 degrees to look at the dome, and he looked at the officials with his chin.
Yuan Wei is the only one who stands out from the crowd.
As for the officials around, after hearing the latest news brought by the eunuch, they were all shocked and stunned. They gathered together and became a group of dumbfounded wooden chickens... ... .
Although the officials were unwilling to believe it and felt jealous, they had to admit that Yuan Wei's writing was really great and he was on the verge of a meteoric rise to fame.
"Ahem, eunuch, His Majesty is smiling?"
Yuan Wei coughed, and tried hard to control the slightly twitching muscles on his face. He looked at the eunuch gently and asked as if to confirm.
"Yes, it was the first time His Majesty laughed today. Although I was far away, I could see it clearly." The eunuch replied.
It could be seen clearly from a distance that the emperor was smiling with satisfaction, and everyone thought of this.
"Is the emperor pleased?" Yuan Wei couldn't control the smile on his face when he heard the eunuch's affirmative reply.
"Yes, the meal has been served." The eunuch nodded vigorously.
Yuan Wei could no longer control the corners of his mouth. The curve was so perfect that it felt like he was floating.
"Congratulations, Master Yuan."
"Master Yuan is simply a worm in His Majesty's stomach."
"Congratulations, Master Yuan. I hope you will be successful in the future, but don't forget the friendship we had when we worked together in Wuyi Palace."
"Congratulations..."
The situation was pressing, and all the officials congratulated Yuan Wei reluctantly.
"Haha, no, no, I just thought about it too deeply..." Yuan Wei chuckled with a forced smile, a rare humble remark, but the humble words made him sound even more proud.
Did you not forget to work with your Wu Yi Palace
hehe.
Who are you? Do I know you? Are you trying to curry favor with me now? It's too late! You just said something bad about me!
Yuan Wei smiled, but he was keeping track of all the accounts in his mind, planning to repay them one by one when he got promoted.
Watching the interaction between Yuan Wei and the other officials on duty, the eunuch on the side looked constipated. He hesitated several times and wanted to speak, but the interaction between Yuan Wei and the other officials on duty was too intense, and the eunuch didn't find a chance to speak.
Finally someone noticed the eunuch's constipated expression and couldn't help asking, "Eunuch, what's wrong with you?"
This question immediately drew the attention of Yuan Wei and the other officials to the eunuch.
The eunuch's constipated expression naturally did not escape their eyes.
"Eunuch, what's wrong with you?" The officials on duty were confused and couldn't help but ask curiously.
Yuan Wei also turned his gaze and asked in a friendly manner, "Does the father-in-law have anything to add?"
For a moment, the eunuch became the focus of Wuyi Palace, which made the eunuch, who was already constipated, even more constipated.
"Ahem, Zajia, Zajia..." The eunuch looked at Yuan Wei who was still floating, and couldn't bear to speak.
"Please speak, sir," Yuan Wei encouraged.
"Eunuch, please speak quickly." The officials on duty could not help but urge him.
"Ahem, what I want to say is..." The eunuch coughed, looked at Yuan Wei and the officials on duty, and shook his head slowly, "The emperor was not pleased to see Yuan's memorial and then ordered the meal to be served..."
What?!
When Yuan Wei heard this, he felt as if he was hit by a club, and his smiling face like a red flower instantly turned into earth-gray.
The emperor was so pleased not because he read my memorial?! Don't be ridiculous, how is that possible!
Yuan Wei simply couldn't believe his ears, he couldn't accept this fact, he stood there like a piece of wood, and then he stared at the eunuch's face with bloodshot eyes, trying to see if he was joking with him. However, Yuan Wei was disappointed, he saw sympathy, reluctance, and embarrassment on the eunuch's face, but he didn't see that he was joking.
This is true!
The emperor smiled, he was very pleased, and he ordered a meal to be served, not because of my, Yuan Wei's memorial!
Yuan Wei had no choice but to accept this fact. He felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him from head to toe, chilling him from the inside out.
When the officials on duty around heard the eunuch's words, they were stunned at first, and then they couldn't help but smile.
Haha, it’s not because of Yuan Wei, it’s not because of Yuan Wei’s memorial.
Your Majesty is wise!
His Majesty is able to distinguish right from wrong and was not deceived by Yuan Wei, the flatterer. When a solar eclipse occurs, routine rescue should be carried out.
The hope that had withered in the hearts of the officials began to thrive again.
Um.
If it’s not Yuan Wei, then who among us is it
The officials on duty looked at each other and felt that the person who made the emperor laugh, made the emperor very happy, and made the emperor serve food before mealtime was among them. Well, maybe, it might be my memorial.
At this time, the eunuch who was ignored by the other officials spoke again and directly revealed the answer, "It is the memorial of Lord Xiao Zhu."
Mr. Xiao Zhu
It's you, sir
Upon hearing this, Yuan Wei and the other officials on duty subconsciously turned their gaze to an official with half-white hair and beard among the crowd.
The fifty-year-old official's breathing quickened when he heard this. He could hardly believe that happiness came so suddenly.
"Ahem, it's not Old Master Zhu, it's Young Master Zhu Ping'an." Seeing that everyone had misunderstood, the eunuch couldn't help but cough and explained to everyone.
I don't know when it started, or who started it, but the eunuchs in the Western Garden gradually started calling Zhu Ping'an "Little Zhu Lord". Whenever they said "Little Zhu Lord", the eunuchs knew they were talking about Zhu Ping'an. In the circle of eunuchs in the Western Garden, "Little Zhu Lord" was almost synonymous with Zhu Ping'an.
Zhu Ping'an!
It’s Zhu Ping’an again!
When Yuan Wei heard Zhu Ping'an's name, veins on his forehead bulged out one after another, and his liver couldn't help but ache. Zhu Ping'an, you are a jinx! Whenever I hear your name, nothing good will happen!
You steal my limelight, steal my ease, steal my opportunities... Zhu Ping'an, I will never stop fighting with you till death!!!
Yuan Wei's chest seemed to explode with anger and hatred.
"Ah? Zhu Pingan?"
Upon hearing this, the officials were not much better off than Yuan Wei. It was like a Cheng Yaojin had appeared out of nowhere. Their hopes of thriving again, which had just been finally put to bed, were once again extinguished by someone else.
