Chapter three hundred and eighty fifth golden brush
If Ling Yun just felt disappointed on the first day, then the next few days made him extremely depressed!
For three days in a row, Ling Yun stayed in his room when he entered the palace. He had no chance to meet Emperor Qianxi, let alone be on duty.
This made Ling Yun have to wonder if someone was deliberately messing with him, or else why he was allowed to come to the palace, but he just stayed in the room, doing nothing.
I have nothing to do, so I can only sit in the room and read a book.
On the third day, when Ling Yun was wondering, a sound of rapid footsteps caught Ling Yun's attention. He listened carefully, wondering if the footsteps were coming towards him.
Fortunately, the footsteps really came towards his room. When they reached his door, the footsteps stopped and there was a knock on the door.
When there was a knock on the door, Ling Yun stood up from his seat and shouted softly toward the door, "Please come in."
The people outside the door moved when they heard the sound, opened the door and came in, saluted him, and said respectfully, "Master Ling, please follow me."
Hearing this, Ling Yun straightened his clothes and followed the little eunuch as he walked forward.
After walking for a while, we arrived in front of the palace and saw eunuch Xiao Lizi from three days ago.
When he arrived for the first time, Ling Yun did not dare to ask for help at all. He immediately saluted eunuch Xiao Lizi and said, "Ling Yun, I have met Eunuch Li."
Xiao Lizi glanced at him lightly, and said without saltiness, "Since you are here, please come in with the Za family."
"Ling Yun, follow your orders."
Just when he was about to enter the palace, Xiao Lizi stopped, turned around and warned again, "Remember, when you see Your Majesty later, if His Majesty doesn't ask any questions, just pretend that you haven't seen anything or heard anything. Do you remember it?"
"Ling Yun, follow your orders."
Ling Yun obeys Xiao Lizi's arrangements in every word and deed. Only in this way can he survive in this safest and most dangerous place.
Only when he understands the rules can he know how to avoid offending noble people. Before that, he can only grovel and obey Xiao Lizi's arrangements. At least for now, no matter how bad Xiao Lizi's attitude is, he can't show the slightest displeasure.
Ling Yun followed Little Lizi with a gentle pace. He could barely hear the sound of walking. There was no "dong-dong" sound made by the little eunuch just now.
This is because the shoes of the two of them were specially made by someone, and the sound when they walked was very shallow. In addition, they deliberately lowered their voices when walking, resulting in almost no sound when walking.
Xiao Lizi entered the royal study room and immediately knelt down on the ground. Ling Yun knelt down with him. He only heard Xiao Lizi raise his head slightly and said to the person above, "Tell your majesty, Lord Ling."
Emperor Qianxi didn't raise his head or speak. The two of them just knelt down quietly, even controlling their breathing, not daring to breathe loudly.
After about half a cup of tea, Emperor Qianxi noticed the two people kneeling below, leaned back slowly, rubbed his eyes at the same time, and said slightly tiredly, "Well! Now that you're here, let's get up! "
The two said in unison, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ling Yun stood up from the ground and stood still. Emperor Qianxi glanced at him and asked, "You are Ling Yun."
Ling Yun was startled and said without thinking, "Your Majesty, he is a student."
Emperor Qianxi yawned and said lazily, "Yes! I recognize you."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty!"
"hehe!"
Emperor Qianxi just laughed, leaving him not knowing how to respond for a moment and could only remain silent.
"Xiao Lizi should have made it clear to you what you want to do, right?"
"Your Majesty, I have made everything clear."
"Ah That's good."
Not knowing what to answer, Ling Yun did not dare to speak.
"Go aside! Just do your own thing."
"Here!"
After hearing this, Ling Yun was waiting in an inconspicuous place with a pen in his hand. As for paper, ink, etc., there was a special little eunuch to help him carry it.
As long as he wants to use paper and ink or write, he only needs to give him a look, and the little eunuch will immediately hand it over to him without affecting his writing speed.
It's just that this whole day, it seems that he has no idea what to do, and he keeps shouting in his heart, how should he start?
When he entered the palace, he was told the rules, but no one taught him how to write, what he should write or remember, and he felt confused.
Perhaps seeing his distress and confusion, Xiao Lizi didn't know when to leave, so he suddenly handed him several texts and told him in a low voice that these texts were all written by the previous officials.
Just let him write this way!
Ling Yun held these texts in both hands and kept expressing his gratitude to Xiao Lizi. He sighed in his heart. Sure enough, the banknotes on the first day were quite useful. Otherwise, even if he wrote a word, Xiao Lizi would not look at him as long as Emperor Qianxi did not speak.
.
Fortunately, he made very thoughtful arrangements in terms of dealing with people and being worldly.
Ling Yun found a quite secret corner and turned over the text he just got, hoping to quickly know how the people in front of him wrote, the format of the writing, etc.
In the Jinluan Palace, Emperor Qianxi slowly opened his eyes and said softly, "Did you give it to him?"
Xiao Lizi replied, "Your Majesty, the Za family has been handed over to Lord Ling."
Emperor Qianxi asked again, "Well! But which books did I choose?"
"Your Majesty, these are the books."
Emperor Qianxi leaned back again until he adjusted to a comfortable posture, then squinted his eyes and said, "I hope he can be smarter and not be like the elm-headed man before who gave me a headache just by looking at what he wrote."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that the documents handed over to him are all in compliance with the law. There is no overreaching behavior. I think Lord Ling will not go astray."
Emperor Qianxi sighed, "I hope so!"
Then he said quite expectantly, "I think he just entered the Hanlin Academy not long ago, and he hasn't had time to learn the rules of the Hanlin Academy. They are all just things that matter more than his life. I really don't dare to do anything to them, huh! Then!
It’s because I don’t want to argue with them, otherwise I have to kill them as a warning to others.”
Xiao Lizi immediately patted Emperor Qianxi's body gently and consoled him, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Don't let the nerds in the Hanlin Academy make you angry."
Emperor Qianxi seemed to have thought of something. He sighed softly and said with emotion, "It's a shame for you. You take the blame for me every time. Have you ever complained?"
"It is a blessing for me to be by your Majesty's side. Before I am happy, there will be complaints."
Xiao Lizi's flattery was so exquisite that Emperor Qianxi was very happy when he heard it, and he said happily, "You are the only one who knows how to talk, you little slave."
"I don't dare. I thank you. I learned all my skills from being with Your Majesty. Without Your Majesty, I would have spent a long time thinking about what to say."
"You! That's all you do. You know how to make me happy. The ministers there are like those in the court. They wish they could make me angry to death. They chase me every day and want me to use the internal funds to get my salary. What a fool's dream."
Regarding the matters in the court, Xiao Lizi kept silent and listened carefully to Emperor Qianxi's words, simply acting as a vent for his anger.
Because he, an eunuch, was not allowed to interfere in court matters, even if it was a small matter. If Emperor Qianxi became suspicious because of his interference, it would be more than worth the loss!
If Emperor Qianxi asked a question, Xiao Lizi would usually just ignore it and pretend not to know. Xiao Lizi would not speak easily unless he had to. This was the realization of being a personal eunuch of Emperor Qianxi.
It is said that Ling Yun has read through these texts repeatedly and found that most of the narrative contents are good. Even if the events seem absurd, if you don't look carefully, you can hardly find any doubts in them.
This made Ling Yun have to wonder if Xiao Lizi giving these texts to him was foreshadowing something, perhaps giving him an example to write in this way.
Thinking of this, Ling Yun still planned to write according to the method of these texts first, and then change it if there were any problems.
Ever since, for several days in a row, Ling Yun wrote like this on his notepad, praising the good things with great fanfare, writing ordinary things as usual, skipping the bad things if they can, and considering every word if they can't be skipped, and thinking clearly. Then start writing. If you feel it is unreasonable, revise it several times.
A week later, when Emperor Qianxi held Ling Yun's notepad in his hand and kept flipping through it, Emperor Qianxi, who used to have a stiff face, now grinned and made bursts of praise, as if the contents of the notepad made him feel particularly special. joy.
Xiao Lizi, who was standing in front of Emperor Qianxi, felt it most vividly. In the past six months, every time Emperor Qianxi read the text from the official, he would get angry and furious.
When he handed the text over this time, he wiped away his sweat. Of course, he was already brewing the anger of Emperor Qianxi and thinking about how to explain it. However, what he imagined did not happen, but the opposite. Do it.
"Little Lizi, the calligraphy of Zhuangyuanlang is really good. The writing is vigorous and powerful yet fresh and elegant. It makes people look very happy."
Xiao Lizi thought to himself, this is not because of the words. This is just to praise the content for being well written and to his taste. Because he could not directly say that the content met his expectations, Emperor Qianxi spared no effort to praise him. Words come.
Xiao Lizi immediately echoed, "I congratulate Your Majesty, I congratulate Your Majesty. Just by being so casual, you can find such a talented person with extraordinary talents. This word can be said to be flexible and flexible."
Emperor Qianxi laughed loudly, and then ordered, "Hahaha... Xiao Lizi, go and bring him here. It would be a pity not to reward him for his good writing skills!"
"My slave obeys your orders."
After getting the order, Xiao Lizi called a young eunuch outside the imperial study room and told him to call Ling Yun.
After giving the instructions, he did not go in, but waited there until Ling Yun arrived, then led him through the door.
"As expected of me, I personally selected you as the number one scholar. Your writing style is outstanding. I give you a thumbs up, little plum."
"Here!"
Ling Yun entered the imperial study and as soon as he stood up from the floor, he was praised by Emperor Qianxi. He was confused and couldn't figure out what happened. Why did he hear Emperor Qianxi praising him as soon as he came in? ?
It wasn't until Xiao Lizi handed him the so-called reward from Emperor Qianxi that he realized something.
In this way, Ling Yun received the reward inexplicably. When he got home after a break, he opened it and found that it was a writing brush with a gold edge. He weighed it in his hand and found that it was quite heavy.
I have to sigh, Emperor Qianxi was really a generous person, and his first purchase was a gold-rimmed writing brush. Naturally, the more of these things, the better.
Opening the small cabinet and putting the brush given by Emperor Qianxi into it, he suddenly discovered that there was another brush inside. This brush was the gift given to him by Zixuan when he was sent home that day. .
