"It's rare to find something you like. I'll take a look at what kind of box it is that you praise it so highly."
Sumalagu: "This servant will present it to my master right away."
The box was brought to her by a young eunuch. The Empress Dowager looked at the box and couldn't help but say, "At first glance, it is indeed quite unique. There has never been a box of this style before. Such exquisite design. It seems that the Imperial Household Department has really put a lot of thought into it."
