The emperor was in no hurry. The eunuch is in a hurry.

The emperor is not in a hurry, eunuch.

Metaphor means that the parties themselves are not in a hurry to deal with things, while people around them are in a hurry to find ways to make suggestions for them (slightly teasing or derogatory).

In the long imperial era, the husband and wife life of the emperor was bound by eunuchs. For example, Qianlong or Jiaqing, living with a concubine-it is not unusual for an emperor to live. Strangely, the emperor lived inside and a group of eunuchs stood outside listening. This group of eunuchs listened for a while, and it was estimated that it was almost enough. Under the leadership of the eunuch in charge, everyone shouted in unison: "It's time!" This is urging the emperor to end it quickly. If it doesn't end, they will shout again, and so on, until the emperor is dull and ends voluntarily. There are still many rules in ancient palaces. At that time, in order to let the emperor not take any chances on a person's heart, and also to show sympathy for the emperor's dragon body, the Qing room stipulated that the emperor and his concubine should not have sex for more than two hours. When the time comes, the eunuch will shout "It's time" at the door. Even after shouting several times, the eunuch wrapped his concubine in silk and carried her away if the emperor didn't let her go. This is the origin of the sentence "The emperor is in no hurry".
