Yinzhen, who was in the mansion, had no idea that his younger brother was in Yonghe Palace saying nice things to him and coaxing their mother.
After having a family banquet with his wife and mother-in-law, Yinzhen personally escorted his mother-in-law to the carriage. He also specially included some rare tribute gifts as a token of his gratitude, which he packed together with the tribute fruits and gave to his mother-in-law.
After all this was done, the sky gradually darkened a bit, and many pure white snowflakes slowly drifted down, landing in the pavilions and terraces, creating a serene and sacred beauty.
Rouyin lay in the room, looking out the dimly lit window. "Liu Qing, is it snowing outside?"
Liu Qing exclaimed with delight, "My lady, it's snowing outside! This is the first snow of the year!"
"It's a pity, Yukimi, I can't see clearly from here either," Yuu-yin said regretfully.
"Don't worry, Madam. The snow in the capital is falling continuously. Once you're out of confinement, you can open the window and enjoy the view," said Granny Wang with a loving smile.
"Um……"
"What is the Princess Consort saying? Let me hear it too!" Yinzhen strode in, bringing with him the chill of early winter. He took off his black cloak made of wolf skin, and carried the brazier until he was dry before walking to his Princess Consort's side.
"My lord, I was just talking about how it's snowing, and I can't see this magnificent snow scene with my own eyes." Yinzhen looked at Rouyin's bright eyes and felt a little sorry for her. The windows in the room were sealed shut, so he couldn't see anything at all. He smiled and said, "My lord, a few days ago, Father Emperor gave me some pieces of glass. I think this glass is crystal clear and can reflect everything very clearly. I brought it to you to put on the window. It's not ventilated, but you can still enjoy the beautiful scenery."
Rouyin patted her head slightly. Why hadn't she thought of glass? It's true what they say, pregnancy makes you forgetful for three years. She'd forgotten about this wonderful thing called glass. Smiling, she said to the prince, "Your Highness, this glass is a treasure that can become colorful in the sunlight?"
"How did Yin'er know?" Yinzhen asked, somewhat puzzled.
"As you know, my lord, I love reading all sorts of books. I recently came across one that described the method of glassmaking and described glass as crystal clear, smooth as a mirror, and capable of reflecting a myriad of colors. When I read it, I thought it was just some random notes written by an ordinary person."
Yinzhen was somewhat excited, "Yin'er, you don't know, this mirror was a tribute from the West, and it's one of the rarest. It's worth a thousand gold pieces and hard to buy."
"My lord, this book of mine is currently in the warehouse. I will have Liu Qing fetch it." Liu Qing was somewhat surprised. Did the Fujin have this miscellaneous notes among all the books she read? She was a little puzzled, but after thinking for a while, she realized that the Fujin must have read it when she wasn't around.
