Zhuang Mengdie was still fast asleep, totally missing her chance to ride Feng Nian.
Upon arrival at Renshou Palace, the Empress Dowager ordered the doors to the warehouse to be opened and all the treasures within to be carried out one by one. She carefully selected a few items to gift Zhuang Yuexi, including a Night Light Pearl from the Eastern Sea, a purple smoke pot from the Western Sand, a black iron dagger from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, an ancient sword from the former dynasty, and even the armour of a former war king...
The first two items were more or less suitable, but the latter ones somehow felt a bit off?
A daggers, ancient swords and armors; were these really the kind of things you give to a young lady?
As a young lady of her talent, she actually liked calligraphy and paintings more.
However, since they were gifts from the Empress Dowager, she was still very happy.
