On the black carriage heading towards Miyagi.
Empress Changsun knelt down on the sofa and rubbed her temples while Li Shimin closed his eyes to rest.
Li Lizhi and Li Xiyao looked at the small wooden box at their feet with curious eyes.
Li Xiyao pursed her lips, hesitated, and said to Empress Changsun:
"Mother, did Brother Qin...Ming tell me what is in this small wooden box?"
Empress Changsun said without looking back:
"I didn't mention this. Maybe it's some pastries? If Yao'er is curious, you might as well open it and take a look."
Li Xiyao's eyes lit up when she heard this, then she leaned down and opened the box.
Not long after, Li Xiyao took out a small round wooden mirror with a water plant pattern carved on the back.
Feeling the smoothness on her fingers, Li Xiyao couldn't help but turn the mirror over.
Through the dim candlelight in the carriage, Li Xiyao suddenly saw her pretty face in the glass mirror.
Li Xiyao's pupils shrank, she turned around, held up the mirror, and screamed:
"Oh my God, Queen Mother, Sister, look at this, is it the glazed mirror at the auction?"
When Queen Changsun heard Li Xiyao's scream, she paused with her hand movements.
Before today, there were four types of dressing mirrors in Datang.
A water mirror (a wooden basin filled with water) used by common people.
Iron mirrors used by wealthy people.
Bronze mirror used by noble families.
Although these three types of mirrors can also reflect faces, they are either reflective or have a single color.
But today, the appearance of the glazed mirror has completely subverted the perceptions of Queen Changsun and other women.
That is to say, there were few women going to Ximeng Tower today, but if there were more, the auction price of the glazed mirror would be higher.
Empress Changsun was also a woman and the most noble woman in the Tang Dynasty.
How could you not be tempted when faced with such a glazed mirror?
In fact, if Empress Changsun hadn't stopped Li Er, maybe the mirror auctioned by Qin Ming would have been in her hands by now.
When she heard Yu Zhang's words, she, who was originally a little regretful, also reacted.
Since Qin Ming made the four-color glazed cup and the five-colored glazed plate by himself, the glazed mirror was naturally made as well.
After realizing this, she suddenly turned her head and said with joy:
"Hurry and show it to your mother."
After saying this, Queen Changsun took the glass mirror from Li Xiyao's hand.
Li Lizhi's eyes lit up, she came up to Li Xiyao and asked with hope:
"Is there only one side in the box?"
Li Xiyao chuckled, took out a mirror from inside, and said with a smile:
"There are so many in there! Enough for each of us sisters."
After a while,
Li Shimin frowned and looked at the slightly fat face in the mirror, and said angrily:
"My father was right. That brat has indeed mastered the method of refining colored glaze."
.......
At four o'clock in the hour, the prince's palace in Hejian.
Li Xiaogong sat cross-legged on the bed, looking somewhat unhappily at the woman sitting in front of the dressing table, constantly changing hairpins.
"My beloved, it's getting late, should we go to bed?"
This woman who keeps changing her hairpins is none other than Li Xiaogong's wife, Du Shi.
At this time, she was holding her chin with one hand, shaking her head from side to side, looking at the hairpin on her head from all angles.
After hearing Li Xiaogong's voice, Mrs. Du waved her hands and said impatiently without turning her head.
"If you're sleepy, go to sleep first. I'll have to sit still for a while."
Li Xiaogong sighed after hearing this and whispered:
"What a sin!"
"This has happened so early. I shouldn't have taken this piece of shit back."
Duchenne's ears are relatively "pointy", not to mention that they are quiet at night.
She raised her eyebrows, turned around and stared, saying:
"Li Xiaogong, you are such a heartless person, how dare you scold me?"
"Woo...Woo...Woo! After all these years, you finally spoke out what was on your mind."
Du Shi sniffed as she spoke.
When Li Xiaogong saw this, he didn't bother to put on his shoes. He ran to Mrs. Du barefoot, bent down and apologized:
"Madam, you have failed to do your job again. I was just complaining about that kid Qin Ming."
Mrs. Du wiped away her tears, turned around and said with full of grievance:
"It's just once or twice. Every time you say that you are my servant, do you really think that I am still the same young lady you used to be, who was fooled by you all the time?"
At this point, Du's voice suddenly rose a little higher, and he stared at a pair of almond eyes and said:
"Li Xiaogong, what did you say when you first married me?"
"You said you would love me forever, but now it's only been more than ten years and you've changed your mind?"
"Woo... Wu... Wu, I was really blinded by lard back then."
"Sure enough, sisters, it's true, men become bad when they have money."
After Mrs. Du finished speaking, she saw that Li Xiaogong was just in a daze, so she couldn't help but wink at him.
Li Xiaogong was stunned for a moment, then smiled evilly.
[Madam is really getting more and more naughty. She doesn't even consult me, she just acts like a little woman who has been wronged. That's all, I'm going to do whatever it takes today and act like a heartless man again. ]
[Who makes me the best man in the world! ]
After realizing that everything was staged deliberately by Madam, Li Xiaogong reached out his big hand without hesitation and picked up Du.
Du Shi pretended to be panicked, kicked her legs a few times, and screamed:
"Li Xiaogong, what do you want to do? Put me down quickly."
Snap, snap, snap.
Li Xiaogong patted Du Shi's round buttocks three times in succession and snorted coldly:
"What did you say So-and-so was going to do?"
"I advise you to be more knowledgeable, otherwise you won't blame me for being so ruthless."
After speaking, Li Xiaogong put Du Shi on the bed.
Du Shi quickly climbed to the corner of the bed, like a frightened deer, grabbed a corner of the quilt, and said in a trembling voice:
"Don't come over here. If you come over again, I will call someone."
Li Xiaogong chuckled and stepped forward, like a bully teasing a decent woman. He lifted Du's chin and said arrogantly:
"Madam, just scream, even if you break your throat, no one will come to save you."
Outside the bedroom, Du's two personal maids looked at each other and blocked their ears with their hands.
[My lord and madam, do you have to play like this? Can you think about how we feel as servants? ]
...
In the backyard of Prince Hejian's Mansion, there is a boudoir decorated with bright red silk.
Li Xianzhi, draped in bright red gauze, sat on the edge of the bed, dangling her two snow-white feet.
She was holding the quilt with one hand and holding the dressing mirror high with the other, looking at herself in the mirror with a silly smile on her face.
Half an hour later,
Li Xianzhi's personal maid Xiaobai yawned and said with a grimace:
"Miss, it's getting late, you should go to bed."
Li Xianzhi's hand holding the mirror trembled, then she twisted her eyebrows and looked towards the source of the sound.
"Xiao Bai, when did you come back?"
noob.....
[Is the slave’s sense of existence so low? ]
