"By the way, does the fourth son of the Cui family want a big ship?"
"Your Highness, Kai will simply give him one of his own ships."
“Oh! Such a family heirloom is definitely not enough with just one large ship. I will grant him one after the new four-masted galleons are delivered, to repay his favor. You can keep it without worry.”
"...Kai has remembered... Thank you, Your Highness!"
Kaihime's tears finally fell. She had impulsively accepted Cui Laosi's gems, even though she had exchanged them for enough goods. She was still afraid that the Cui family would take advantage of her kindness. Now that Qin Mo had directly cleaned up her mess with the latest Garen, how could she not be moved?
A huge sandalwood box was loaded onto a schooner, a special mail carrier, and set sail overnight for Tianjin. After traveling along the Haihe River to Tongzhou, it was delivered by carriage and horses to a table in the Fengning Hall of the Imperial Palace in Tianjin.
A pair of slender hands slapped the box open, making a crisp "smack!" sound.
"Hmph! You're smart to know what's good for you."
The box contained a complete set of Hanfu, all made of Qin Mo's unique, understated yet luxurious dark-patterned fabric. Each garment had a square wooden lattice covered with various colored gemstones, with a delicately patterned wooden box in the center—the most valuable item, even without opening it.
Wang Yushi narrowed her beautiful phoenix eyes slightly, and the corners of her mouth turned up. After she opened the box, a splash of emerald green made Qing Ning, who was beside her, gasp in surprise.
Almond-shaped eyes are usually very bright and expressive, but now Wang Yushi's eyes have become completely squinty, making her look like a fox that has stolen a chicken.
The Hanfu style is very good. It is based on the Daxia Hanfu and has been modified with some embellishments. It is dignified and elegant, yet also shows a kind of spirit. Wang Yushi touched it with her hand and nodded in satisfaction.
"Your Highness Prince Heng is just a prince, why is he always thinking about these clothes and other necessities? How stingy!" Qing Ning couldn't help but mutter sourly as she looked at Wang Yushi dressed in Hanfu.
Wang Yushi couldn't help but roll her eyes at Qing Ning. This former tomboy was becoming more and more like a woman, talking too much without even realizing it, which really left Wang Yushi speechless.
As usual, the bottom layer of the box was full of shoes and socks, but instead of those special shorts, there was a letter.
Wang Yushi was even more pleased. She was used to wearing the socks that Qin Mo sent her, but those comfortable socks were not very durable. Ever since Qin Mo went to Southeast Asia and stopped sending her gifts, Wang Yushi had been reluctant to wear those comfortable socks when practicing combat skills.
Wang Yushi waited and waited, but Qin Mo's thoughtful gift still hadn't arrived. Finally, she lost her temper. Everyone who gave her a gift always followed through, yet Prince Heng was acting so arrogantly. After the palace weavers spent a long time trying to decipher Qin Mo's socks but couldn't, Wang Yushi finally wrote a letter in a fit of rage, demanding the gift.
Now that Qin Mo obediently delivered the formula, Wang Yushi felt that her domineering aura had reached its peak, and the stubborn Prince Heng had completely groveled at her feet.
Upon opening the letter, Qin Mo's distinctive handwriting leaped onto the page: "I present various stones, but... the sock recipe is a family secret and will not be passed on to outsiders."
"Bang!"
"He's gone too far!"
