Chapter 187 Mysterious Identity!
"Go in and have a look."
The Regent asked her to go in and take a look, but Li Qingwan took a deep breath. She seemed to have come to a wonderful place that collected fabrics from all over the world.
Naturally, the patterns on each piece of cloth were bold and novel, something she had never seen before.
This was new cloth that she had never seen in the market. The gorgeous patterns and dazzling colors, each piece seemed to indicate that their origins were not simple.
She knew that these fabrics were not available on the market, and perhaps only in the palace would there be so many good things.
"That's wonderful!"
She was so attracted by the fabrics that she didn't even notice when the Regent appeared behind her...
"Like it?"
what?
She turned her head suddenly and almost bumped into him, which made her immediately retract her joyful expression. She bowed slightly and looked reserved.
"Your Majesty, I am greatly impressed by the treasures here."
"is it?"
Seeing that she was very timid, the Regent asked, "There is another treasure that I would like to show to you, Madam?"
What, there's still baby?
She really gained a lot of experience when she came to the palace today.
"Someone, bring me the Seven Treasures Jade Cloth."
What, Seven Treasures Jade Robe?
This made Li Qingwan even more curious. Could jade be associated with clothes?
When an exquisite box was brought up, Li Qingwan knew at that moment that there must be a rare treasure inside, but she didn't understand why the Regent let her appreciate it?
This man gave her a very familiar feeling, very much like that person!
But then she thought again and it was impossible. Although Mu Shenyin's identity was mysterious, he couldn't possibly be the regent in front of them. It was impossible!
"Ma'am, can you open it and take a look?"
Li Qingwan was not polite and gently opened the exquisite box. When she opened it, the scene before her made her extremely happy.
"Your Majesty, this is..."
"This is a treasure from Persia, called the Green Silk Jade Clothes. Madam, can you take a look at how it is woven?"
Jade clothes?
She had never seen jade polished into thin pieces and then woven into clothes with silk. The workmanship of each piece amazed her.
At least, it was a height she couldn't reach right now.
"Your Highness, this is a jade garment made of cotton and silk, but I am too ignorant to comprehend the other craftsmanship."
"Madam, you can't comprehend it either?"
The Regent stared at her deeply and suddenly moved closer to her. This ambiguous action made her nervous and wanted to step back, but the Regent reached out and grabbed her.
"What are you afraid of, ma'am?"
"Your Majesty, I am a humble woman..."
She wanted to escape, but how could the Regent let her go? He grabbed her arm and smiled evilly, "Madam, don't be afraid. I won't eat you. Do you like it?"
what?
She was completely confused now, and he asked her if she liked it?
Is it...
"Your Majesty, I am a humble woman..."
"Since you like it, I will give this jade dress to Madam as a gift for our first meeting!"
"Your Highness, please don't do that. I dare not accept such a precious gift. Please, Your Highness..."
"What are you afraid of? I told you that this is yours. Also, don't kneel down to me at every turn in the future. I don't like you to be inferior to others. Do you understand?"
what?
At this moment, Li Qingwan suddenly raised her eyes. She always felt that the man in front of her was like Mu Shenyin. Only he would protect her like this, but...
How can it be?
The two looked at each other, and the Regent's eyes did look like Mu Yetan's, which made her doubt his identity even more. Could it be that he was really...
"Okay, ma'am, you can leave now!"
The man read her mind and didn't want to scare her anymore, so he turned his back and didn't want to look at her, "Go away!"
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
She found her previous thought ridiculous. How could he be Mu Shenyin?
"Take the gift away!"
She didn't dare to take it at first, but seeing that the prince was angry, she didn't dare to disobey him. But she didn't understand why such a precious gift was given to her?
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
So, after Li Qingwan left with the gifts, the Regent looked at her departing back with reluctance. Suddenly, he smiled wickedly, and his smile made people feel warm.
He slowly reached out and lifted the mask on his face. Under the mask was a perfect handsome face. At this moment, his mood also became very good.
He looked at Li Qingwan's departing back with a complicated expression, as if thinking about something.
Awan, are you surprised?
"Your Majesty!"
Chunxue and her men came slowly outside. When she saw Li Qingwan leaving, she saluted him and said, "Your Majesty, the Madam has left the palace."
"Send someone to protect her safety and ensure she returns to Sima Mansion smoothly."
Chunxue didn't expect that the purpose of his return this time was to help Li Qingwan win the tribute qualification of the Seven-Colored Spinning, but he was deliberately showing favoritism by doing so.
"Your Majesty, you have violated your promises time and again for Li Qingwan..."
"How dare you! I can do whatever I want. Why do I need others to comment on me?"
"But the Japanese envoys have brought their most powerful textile artist, saying they want to compete with us. This..."
"What are you afraid of? Li Qingwan has the ability to defeat a tiny country!"
He knew that the Japanese were coming to make a pilgrimage, but this time they had brought many cloth-making masters who wanted to compete with the cloth from China. In his opinion, they were overestimating their own capabilities. Even many of Japan's fabrics were introduced from China, and they were transformed into local weaving technology. They shamelessly said that they were the birthplace of fabric, and now, they even wanted to compete with China.
If this isn't overestimating one's own capabilities, what is?
"But……"
"No buts, tell someone to tell Li Qingwan about this and ask her to prepare new cloth next month to deal with Japan's provocation, understand?"
Dusk is falling and the moon is high in the sky.
Li Qingwan was very proud that day. After coming out of the palace, the carriage drove directly to Sima Mansion. But when she arrived at the gate of Sima Mansion, she found it closed.
"Ma'am, why is the door closed? It's already dark today."
Zi'er felt something was wrong. Today, the Madam won the competition and successfully won the title of royal tribute, but why did the Sima family close the door?
Li Qingwan was neither anxious nor impatient, and slowly walked out of the carriage. She glanced at the closed door and guessed something in her heart. Could it be that the Sima family thought she had lost the game?
"Go knock on the door!"
Ah Qing knocked on the door quickly. After knocking a few times, the housekeeper finally opened the door gently. It was Li Qingwan who came back. The housekeeper was very embarrassed and said, "Madam, please come in quickly. Don't let the old lady find out."
These words made Li Qingwan straighten her back, but she was neither anxious nor impatient, "Butler, what happened? Why can't the old lady find out?"
