Qin Yuanze, who had captivated the top courtesan of Yunhua Tower with a tiny mercury mirror, suddenly sneezed, eliciting a flurry of concern from the courtesan. Little did he know that he had been targeted by a female tyrant, and great trouble was about to befall him.
A mirror the same size as Wang Yushi's was sent to Emperor Zhaowu's bedroom. The dragon-patterned frame made it look more grand than Wang Yushi's phoenix-feather pattern.
Emperor Zhaowu looked at his reflection in the mirror. He was still as upright as a pine tree, majestic and awe-inspiring, but only he himself could see the weariness in his eyes.
"Did Her Majesty send you to deliver this?"
"Yes, it was sent to the palace this morning. Her Majesty kept one for herself, and I was asked to deliver this one to His Majesty." The palace maid secretly glanced up at Emperor Zhaowu, whose tall and imposing figure fulfilled her longing.
"Oh! Put it in that corner!"
The palace maid looked at the spot Emperor Zhaowu pointed to and wondered why His Majesty would place such an ornate mirror in the most inconspicuous corner.
After the palace maid left, Emperor Zhaowu's chief eunuch came over and said, "Ever since Prince Heng found a way to get the spices, he has become very close to the Empress. He often sends special products to the palace, and the Empress has also shielded him from a lot of trouble. However, the Empress's business is now very large. This old servant estimates that she spent at least a million taels of silver this year to replace the soldiers' winter clothes."
Emperor Zhaowu turned around and kicked the chief eunuch to the ground. "How dare you, a eunuch, inquire about the Empress's affairs? Shut your mouth and shut your eyes. If there is a next time, I will make you wish you were dead!"
After cursing angrily, Emperor Zhaowu went to the Hall of Diligent Governance, leaving the poor chief steward kneeling and kowtowing.
"Qin Mo... Heh! Let you be smug for a while..." Turning into a deserted corner of the corridor, Emperor Zhaowu uttered a barely audible sentence, devoid of joy or sorrow.
Qin Mo was watching Allen carve. His exquisite craftsmanship, combined with his indescribable spiritual power, left fine scratches on the hard metal plate, forming a beautiful and charming picture.
"yawn!"
Qin Mo sneezed for no apparent reason, which greatly displeased Allen, who was painting. He was enjoying the pleasure of art, and it was already annoying enough to have this incomprehensible guy squatting next to him. Now he was disturbing him with his voice, which was simply unbearable.
"You went swimming in the sea yesterday, didn't you! It's quite amusing that a Xuan Realm expert could catch a cold."
"Allen, you've gone astray, you're even mocking people now. I wasn't going swimming, I was clearly going fishing."
Allen said disdainfully, "Yes, you went fishing, but you just wanted to catch a mermaid, right? But you've come to the wrong place. Your maid isn't a mermaid."
"Hey! Allen, from what you're saying... are mermaids really real? And... are there any mermaid tears?"
Please give me a ticket!
