A lazy bum transmigrates and marries a eunuch – it's awesome!
Chapter 13 Left Chancellor Zhang Zhongyi
As the head of the Eastern Depot, Xiao Yuan held a high position and wielded great power. Many people hated him, and just as many feared him.
Regardless of what people say about him behind his back, they really couldn't afford to remain completely silent on his wedding day.
Those who truly hold high positions of power and have strong connections in the court can naturally send gifts without actually visiting.
However, those of rank three or above, unless there is a special reason, will still come to make an appearance.
They decided to skip the wedding banquet, as they knew they had to save face; it would be too embarrassing to attend a eunuch's wedding.
Even so, quite a few people stayed for the wedding banquet that evening.
When the bridal sedan chair arrived at the door, the atmosphere immediately became lively, but the groom, Supervisor Xiao, still maintained a calm expression.
Xiao Yuan is not bad-looking.
In fact, none of the eunuchs who became high-ranking eunuchs were unattractive.
Not to mention the chief eunuch, anyone who could serve their master closely had to at least have regular features, be clever and pleasing.
Humans are visual creatures; who wants to have a sour face that makes them feel nauseous next to them?
However, Xiao Yuan's appearance cannot be described as stunning.
Beauty without power is a death sentence; if misfortune strikes again, the outcome is often tragic.
It's not that no handsome eunuchs have climbed onto the emperor's bed and risen to great heights, but they were extremely rare, and their fates were never good.
Most of the eunuchs who were particularly good-looking were often tortured to death by the head eunuch before they even got to their master's side.
It's not unfounded to say that eunuchs are fierce, cruel, and psychologically abnormal. Moreover, it wasn't just eunuchs; the old palace maids and nannies were just as abnormal.
A completely isolated environment, a life without hope, and harsh living conditions.
These torments tormented the people in the palace at all times. Unless they were resilient and could rise above others, most of them, except for those who turned bad, became somewhat abnormal.
Xiao Yuan was considered lucky; although he wasn't particularly handsome, he was the most intelligent among that group of young eunuchs.
He was ruthless enough to be noticed by his adoptive father at first glance and taken in by his side.
Having powerful connections makes all the difference; even though he was quite good-looking, no old eunuch dared to make a move on him.
And because his adoptive father was able to climb the social ladder step by step, his own career also rose accordingly.
Since eunuchs were born without male heirs and could not have children, they would often adopt sons or godsons to provide for their old age.
The old eunuch Xiao was very dedicated, and Xiao Yuan lived up to expectations, achieving success in both literature and martial arts.
Unlike the average eunuch who is hunched over and shriveled up, he was tall and elegant, with the air of a young master from a noble family.
However, his eyes were rather peculiar; his narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes always gleamed with a subtle, cold light, inexplicably giving people the creeps.
In the Great Jin Dynasty, the young masters of noble families were known for their gentle and refined manners; even those with the worst tempers or the most vicious nature would put on an act.
Xiao Yuan's eyes have ruined his entire face.
Chief Supervisor Xiao didn't take this inexplicable marriage to heart.
The old emperor, in his senility and madness, arranged a wife for him; well, he might as well marry her and keep her at home.
He clearly understands his place; he doesn't become Yama just because others call him Yama.
He was nothing more than a knife in the old emperor's hand.
Since his master had spoken, he naturally couldn't spoil his master's mood.
As for what Old Man Li and that woman thought, that was none of his concern.
If the father and daughter are easy to manage, he wouldn't mind having another idle person or another idle relative.
If you cause them trouble, there are countless ways to make them shut up once things have calmed down.
Jiang Xinyu was helped out of the sedan chair, and her unsteady stance caused the guests to whisper among themselves.
Most people were filled with malice, their eyes hiding a gloating smile.
The reaction of Miss Li, a young lady from a wealthy family, to being married off to an old eunuch, is indeed understandable.
I've heard that eunuchs are particularly brutal in bed because they can't have sex; Miss Li is probably going to suffer.
Supervisor Xiao glanced at the bride nonchalantly and gestured to the emcee beside him to hurry up and proceed with the ceremony.
He didn't care about the wedding, but he also didn't want anything to go wrong and make him a laughing stock.
This woman's steps are unsteady, and she looks like she could faint at any moment. If she makes a fool of herself, it will be his loss of face.
As they walked from the entrance, Jiang Xinyu's car sickness had subsided considerably.
Green Bamboo supported her until the master of ceremonies called for a bow to heaven and earth, at which point he gently pushed her to kneel down.
Jiang Xinyu had reviewed the local wedding customs these past two days, and with Luzhu's help, she quickly completed the wedding ceremony.
Jiang Xinyu's heart finally settled down when the master of ceremonies announced that the wedding ceremony was complete and the couple would be led to the bridal chamber.
Green Bamboo breathed a sigh of relief.
Today's incident was extremely dangerous; she wouldn't have dared to do it even if it meant risking her family's lives.
Chief Supervisor Xiao is terrifying; being looked at by him feels like being stared at by a venomous snake.
I hope everything goes smoothly for her daughter. As long as she can marry into the Zhao family as she wishes, her parents and brothers will be able to survive, and it will not have been in vain for her to risk everything.
Just as Jiang Xinyu was about to be helped into the bridal chamber, a sneer suddenly came from the crowd.
"How strange, how strange, how truly strange! Even a castrated dog can marry a beautiful wife!"
A broken body cannot fulfill the love affair between lovers; a farce only invites ridicule.
Xiao Yuan, you are nothing but a castrated dog. You usually harm loyal officials and persecute ministers in the court. Now you even force an official's daughter to marry you. Is there any way for us scholars to survive in this world?
Gentlemen, you are all graduates of the imperial examinations, having studied diligently for over a decade.
Now you're fawning over a eunuch? Aren't you ashamed?
This sudden shout was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, instantly creating a vacuum in the wedding hall.
Jiang Xinyu stopped in her tracks as she walked back to her room, and quietly pinched the green bamboo to make her wait a moment.
Many people look down on Xiao Yuan, but few dare to openly challenge Chief Supervisor Xiao.
Perhaps this incident is an opportunity for her, an opportunity to expose the marriage exchange in public and solidify her relationship with Chief Supervisor Xiao.
Everyone was curious to see which hero was so audacious as to cause such a scene on Xiao Yanwang's wedding day.
This isn't just stabbing someone in the lungs; it's practically a direct, brutal attack on Xiao Yuan right in the face.
Let alone this guy, anyone with a temper would fight him to the death.
Xiao Yuan narrowed his phoenix eyes and stared coldly at the person who had been revealed, a mocking sneer playing on his lips.
The person shouting insults was dressed like a scholar. He was not very old and did not have any special features, but at this moment, he looked quite imposing with his head held high, chest out, brows furrowed, and eyes glaring.
Xiao Yuan didn't recognize it, but he quickly figured it out; it was probably the work of Left Chancellor Zhang Zhongyi again.
No wonder that old geezer was so kind as to stay for the wedding banquet today; he was just waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
I wonder which remote mountain village this idiot came from. He's probably been tricked by that old fox into coming here to uphold justice.
That's really funny.
That old man used to preach about dying for his principles and fighting to the death, tricking his subordinates into making things difficult for him and tripping him up.
Now, they can't bear to part with their former students and friends, so they've started targeting those who have failed the imperial examinations.
They really are...losing all sense of decency.
Although this pedantic scholar was being used as a pawn, Xiao Yuan was no saint.
Anyone who dares to provoke him will naturally have to be taught a lesson; otherwise, who can he, Chief Supervisor Xiao, intimidate?
With just a glance, the Eastern Depot agents immediately gagged the scholar and dragged him down.
Even knowing that he would suffer a terrible fate if he were dragged down, the scholar continued to shout and curse.
In his view, he was upholding justice and acting on behalf of Heaven; he wanted to show these cowards what true integrity of a scholar is.
Perhaps sensing that the time was right, an elderly man in a dark blue robe coughed and came out.
He cupped his hands in a half-smile at Xiao Yuan.
