Chapter 1102 - 1107: Punishing Nangong Yu (4)
Cai Wei ordered Pei Yao to fetch an empty brocade box, and then had her show the brocade box to all the royal consorts, princesses, and madams before commanding Pei Yao to cover the box and place it on a low table just two or three meters away from her seat. She laughed and said, "Today, everyone sees my palace for the first time, yet I was late due to some reasons, and I am very guilty about it. Later, I will distribute the items that appear in this box to everyone."
Having said that, she raised her hand and pointed in the air towards the box, theatrically shouted, "Quick!"
The box did not move an inch, yet Cai Wei confidently told Pei Yao, "Go, open the box, and let all the royal consorts, princesses, and madams take a good look..."
Pei Yao did not believe that the Empress could produce something just by pointing, but still obeyed and opened the box.
Instantly, everyone in the pavilion was stunned!
Inside the box overflowed with colors, and somehow, it was filled with pearls, white, pink, gold—all plump and round, with a gleaming luster...
My God, where did these come from?
A box full of large, beautifully colored pearls, costly indeed, but everyone was too captivated to think about the price of the pearls, wondering instead how the Empress Dowager managed this?
Everyone saw it clearly; the box was empty, and the Empress did not even touch the box, yet she produced a full box of pearls — this was just too incredible!
Even Princess Tuotuo was dumbfounded, she looked at Cai Wei and hesitantly asked, "How did you do that?"
