“Heehee!”
Xiaohuan covered her mouth and giggled, while Fei Yue’er’s face turned a soft shade of pink.
“What’s wrong? Don’t like it?” Fei Ji sighed with mock seriousness. “If that’s the case, I’ll just keep the mirror for myself.”
“Father! You’re not a young lady,” Fei Yue’er protested, her cheeks flushed.
In Great Yu, before marriage, men and women rarely had direct contact. Yet Prince Qi had sent her this mirror as a gift—it was certainly out of the ordinary.
She’d only caught a quick glimpse of Xiao Ming at the poetry gathering that day, not daring to look for long. But even in that moment, she’d gotten a clear impression of his appearance.
What had left a deeper impression was how naturally poems flowed from his lips.
And now, after hearing so many rumors about the mirror’s wonders spreading through Chang’an, she received one from him personally. Her heart couldn’t help but skip a beat—after all, this mirror was said to be incredibly valuable.
“Hahaha…” Seeing his daughter’s shy reaction, Fei Ji laughed loudly and said, “Since you’ve got the mirror now, I won’t disturb you any longer.”
With that, he left with the steward.
Once they were gone, Xiaohuan peeked out the door and, seeing they were truly alone, quickly turned back and yanked off the black cloth covering the mirror.
