After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray
Chapter 106: Playing a eunuch?
I was so angry that I kicked the stool. The round stool flew out and rolled several times before it stopped.
Yi Ping quickly went to pick up the stool, rolled his eyes at me, and said, "The stool didn't provoke you, why are you taking it out on me?"
"I'm so angry. I clearly said I didn't want to go, but you forced me to go." I sat down angrily and took several gulps of tea.
Yi Ping exclaimed, "The cup of tea you are drinking was drunk by His Majesty."
I was so angry that I threw the teacup on the table, stood up and said, "I'm going to bed."
After saying that, he thought about it and realized that it was wrong. He had promised Gongsun Wen that he would write an article within three days. During the day, he was being trained to death by Wei Chang. How could he have the time to write? He should just bear with it and finish this matter first.
So I said to Yiping, "Bring me pen, ink, and paper. I will finish this article even if I have to work all night."
Yi Ping brought me a pen, ink, and paper and said, "It's getting late. You should go to bed early. You have to get up early tomorrow, otherwise you will be punished by Uncle Wei if you can't get up."
I picked up the pen and said without looking up, "Punish, punish, punish. He only knows how to punish. Let him be punished enough."
Yiping knew that once I got stubborn, nothing could stop me. He had no choice but to pick up the candle wax, fetch the needlework basket, sit next to me, and say, "Then I'll keep you company."
It is true that thieves are most likely to commit crimes in the dead of night. Although I cannot write articles in classical Chinese, I can copy them.
Cao Zhi once wrote an article "Ode to the Goddess of Luo River", describing the goddess Mi Fei of Heluo as extremely beautiful, like a flying dragon and a startled swan, which amazed the world. Moreover, Cao Zhi's writing is delicate and rich, showing amazing creative talent. I am afraid that even Gongsun Wen could not write such an article!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. I wonder what expression Gongsun Wen would have when he read such a text.
I quickly picked up the pen and began to write it down neatly on the paper, stroke by stroke.
Fortunately, there was a period of time when Shi Fei was obsessed with Cao Zhi's poems and essays, and he could recite most of his works, otherwise it would not be easy to cheat at this time.
I wrote furiously by candlelight, and finally finished "The Goddess of Luo River" after Yiping had fallen asleep on the table for several times.
The main reason was that I was not used to writing with this brush. Not only did my handwriting look ugly, but I also had to grind and dip the ink constantly. After finishing an article, my face, body, and hands were all covered in ink. When Yiping was woken up by me, he almost laughed until his stomach hurt when he saw me.
After tidying up and taking a nap in bed, I was woken up by Wei Chang ringing a gong outside the house.
I quickly washed up and ran outside. I saw Wei Chang holding a gong and looking at me with disdain. He said, "From now on, only ring the gong three times. If you don't show up after three times, all the punishments will be doubled."
I looked at the gray sky and just heard the night watchman hit the door five times, which means it is only four or five o'clock in the morning. Damn it, he called me to get up at four or five o'clock and only called me three times. If I don't show up three times, I will be punished. What kind of devil can come up with this idea?
Wei Chang ignored my complaints and said coldly, "If you don't run again, add twenty laps."
I screamed to the sky, then started running with my thick legs staggering.
I only slept for three or four hours last night, and was called up for training before I even woke up. This life is really not a human life.
After training for two or three hours, Wei Chang allowed me to have breakfast. While I was having breakfast, Wei Yi sent a eunuch over with a bag of clothes.
I was eating at the time. When Yiping took out his clothes, I almost spit out the food in my mouth.
What the hell was Zheng Xian up to? He actually asked someone to deliver a bag of eunuch's clothes!
Yiping tried the eunuch uniform on me and it actually fit me perfectly!
It seems like this was tailor-made for me by Zheng Xian. This damn Zheng Xian, why did he let me dress up as a eunuch when there are so many other roles to play!
The eunuch sent by Wei Yi walked up to me, automatically ignored my rolling eyes, and said with a smile: "This is the clothes sent by Wei Zongguan. Try it on to see if it fits you well, little barbarian."
Little barbarian?
Not only did I spit out my rice, but Yiping couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of rice, holding his stomach and laughing.
I looked at the eunuch with a frown on my face and asked, "Who gave me this name?"
The eunuch bowed to me and said, "This is what the chief steward Wei told me to call Xiao Manzi, but the chief steward Wei said this was also ordered by His Majesty."
I gritted my teeth and thought bitterly, "Zheng Xian, what a stupid idea you have."
The eunuch still smiled and said, "My name is Xiao Chunzi, and I am a second-rank eunuch in the palace. I am responsible for teaching the new eunuchs the palace rules. The Chief of Guards has already told me that Xiao Chunzi is not a real eunuch, and I will not treat Xiao Chunzi as a real eunuch. However, as your Majesty's close attendant, Xiao Chunzi must learn the palace rules."
As Xiao Chunzi spoke, she took out a set of eunuch uniforms and handed them to me with both hands, saying, "Eunuch uniforms come in gray, blue, crimson, brown, and camel colors. Eunuchs of different ranks wear different colors. This crimson eunuch uniform is for eunuchs of the third rank. Only eunuchs of the third rank and above can serve Your Majesty."
After Xiao Chunzi handed the eunuch uniform to me, he took out a blue-black hat with a flower feather on top from behind his back like a magic trick and put it on my head, saying, "Please put on the uniform and learn the palace etiquette with me."
I pulled my hat off and said with a frown on my face, "I won't learn."
Xiao Chunzi said with a sad face: "Xiao Chunzi is just following orders. Xiao Manzi doesn't want to learn. Xiao Chunzi may not be able to complete the task."
Yi Ping tugged at my sleeve and whispered, "We are in the palace, and His Majesty's people are everywhere. If you say you don't want to learn, it will hurt Xiao Chunzi badly."
I thought that killing a person was as easy as crushing an ant. If Xiao Chunzi was killed by him because of me, I would have to bear another sin. I suppressed my anger and said, "Change it if you want, who's afraid of who?"
I was wearing eunuch's clothes and a eunuch's hat on my head. My body, which looked like a steamed bun, looked very well-proportioned. My every move and gesture really made me look like a funny eunuch!
Yiping wanted to laugh but didn't dare to when she looked at me. She held her stomach and cried out in pain. I was so angry that I hit her on the head a few times.
Since he had to learn palace rules with Xiao Chunzi in the afternoon, Wei Chang had nothing to do. He leaned against the window and watched me learn to bow, perform rituals, and pour tea with great interest. He couldn't be driven away.
After studying for half a day, my back and waist ached, but there were still many etiquettes that I couldn't learn.
Xiao Taichunzi was so anxious that she kept shouting, "It's wrong, it's wrong. In front of His Majesty, the Queen Mother and the ladies, we have to call ourselves slaves. Bend down, bend down, bend down as I said! In front of the master, our waists are always bent and we can't straighten them up. When pouring tea, we should gently press the lid of the teapot with one hand and support the bottom of the teapot with the other hand, and pour it gently at an angle. Your hand is too high, lower it, lower it even more."
