Chapter 806: The Emperor and Empress Comparing Their Heights in Front of the Mirror
Yu Jiusi has experience in moving mirrors.
He held up the frame with one hand, spread the legs with the other, and then pushed it to the ground.
Stand up.
The officials were dazzled by the candlelight reflected in the mirror and started to chat curiously: "Is that a mirror? I just saw myself in it."
"Can colored glass be made into a mirror? That's not right. I just looked at colored glass and found that although it can reflect a person's image, it is extremely blurry and not as good as a bronze mirror."
"No, it's different. I just vaguely see that the things in the mirror are extremely clear, which is incomparable to a bronze mirror."
"How is this possible!"
Shen Zheng smiled as he heard the questioning voice and said respectfully, "Empress Dowager, this is the second type of glass gift I sent you - a glass mirror."
Now there is no need to wait for the officials to guess.
What a mirror.
"I need to take a good look at it and see what the difference is between it and the bronze mirror." The Queen Mother, supported by Nanny Chang, walked towards the full-length mirror.
As soon as they got in front of the mirror, they stopped what they were doing.
The Queen Mother even let go of Nanny Chang and took half a step forward on her own.
Her figure was reflected completely by the glass mirror. Even the color of her lip balm today was extremely similar to when it was applied on her hands.
"This..." The Queen Mother was stunned.
She stroked her lips with her index finger and couldn't help but move closer.
In the mirror, her face was so clear that even the spots caused by aging could not escape the mirror.
"I'm getting old..." She gently stroked the dark spot at the end of her eyebrow, and then suddenly laughed, "But it seems that my skin color is much better than what was reflected in the bronze mirror."
After that, she turned around and asked Aunt Chang: "Really?"
Nanny Chang was still shocked. She looked at her after hearing what she said, then turned to look at herself in the mirror.
"Exactly the same." Madam Chang said, "Madam, what I see with my own eyes is exactly the same as what I see in the mirror. Even your outline, figure, and even the color of your skin and lip balm are exactly the same. There is not much difference!"
Although a polished bronze mirror is clear, the curvature of the mirror surface will inevitably distort a person's outline.
No matter how good the bronze mirror is, people's skin color will appear sallow and not bright enough.
And this glass mirror in front of me...
Rather than saying it is a mirror, it would be better to say that inside the mirror is another self.
Thinking about it this way, it’s even a little creepy.
Nanny Chang quickly shook her head.
The Queen Mother stood in front of the mirror for a long time, and what she said just now was equally heard by everyone.
The people sitting in the front seats stretched their necks, but could only vaguely see a small gap. Yue Zhenchuan was so anxious that he kept spinning in place.
Very anxious, but dare not squeeze.
Only the emperor standing beside the empress dowager could not help himself, he pulled the empress dowager's sleeve and said: "Mother, your son and the queen... also want to look in the mirror."
The Queen Mother in the mirror tilted her head slightly, with a look of dissatisfaction on her face.
Not enough photos!
Shen Zheng quickly coughed and said, "It is my fault for not thinking this through. General Yu, quickly put up the remaining three full-length mirrors so that His Majesty and the Queen can also look at themselves."
The emperor felt that Shen Zheng did it on purpose.
But he really didn't expect that there was more than one mirror.
There are three more sides that are similar to it!
Yu Jiusi suppressed the smile in his chest, quickly pulled apart the straw in the wooden box, and took out the remaining three full-length mirrors.
Upon seeing this, the palace maid hurried forward with a small brush and swept the dust off the mirror.
For a moment, the center of the hall felt a bit choking.
But no official dared to cover his nose, because the emperor, empress, and even the empress dowager did not react at all.
When a full-length mirror was placed in front of the emperor, the emperor took the empress's hand and slowly took two steps back until the mirror reflected both of their figures, and then stopped.
It takes a while to adjust to suddenly seeing yourself so clearly.
After a moment, the emperor suddenly stretched out his hand and placed it on the queen's head.
The queen smiled and looked at him in confusion, then saw him move his hand slightly to her shoulder.
The smile on the queen's lips shifted to the emperor's lips, "I told you, Queen, you only reached my shoulders, but you insisted on reaching my chin!"
The queen looked at the mirror and said nothing.
The emperor seemed to be unaware of it and kept whispering to the queen: "You didn't admit it before, but now you can see it with your own eyes..."
"Your Majesty's shoes are high today." The Queen touched the heel of the Emperor's shoes with her toes, "My shoes are thin today, so they can't be counted."
Looking down at the two soles of the shoes, which were clearly of the same thickness, the emperor thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, let's compare them another day."
The Queen laughed again, pulled the Emperor forward a step, tilted her head slightly and said, "Looking at it this way, Your Majesty is only a little darker than me. I really envy you."
Tianzi touched his face and said, "It's more than just a little..."
Shen Zheng really admires the mentality of those in power.
Even with so many people watching them, they were able to remain calm and look in the mirror without any pressure.
If it were her, she would have to embarrass herself by carving out a palace...
Perhaps Shen Zheng's expression was too obvious, or perhaps the emperor had taken enough photos, he suddenly glanced around the hall and spoke.
"My dear ministers, would you like to look in the glass mirror?"
These words were extremely pleasing to the ears of all officials.
Finally remembered them!
It's so frustrating.
The crowd simply did not answer, but made their stance clear through actions.
In almost the blink of an eye, Shen Zheng and her companions were surrounded by people.
The mirror had exactly four sides. In order to ensure that "rain and dew were evenly distributed", the emperor asked the palace servants to place the mirrors back to back so that they could reflect light in four directions.
The mirror clearly reflected the impatient figures of hundreds of officials.
Then, they were either shocked, horrified, or incredulous.
Shen Zheng even saw the words "bold and evil" from the expressions of several officials.
Yue Zhenchuan was looking in the mirror while sticking his butt out to stop the officials behind him, "Don't push! Don't push! You'll break the mirror later!"
The emperor, empress, and Shen Zheng left the "mirror field".
Shen Zheng brought them and stood in front of the other two wooden boxes filled with colored glass.
She squatted down, picked up three telescopes and handed them to the Emperor, Empress and Queen Mother.
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, Queen Mother. In fact, I think we should look at this object first."
Then, she got herself a telescope, and placed it before her eyes in a teaching manner.
"What is this?" The emperor looked at the object in his hand, then looked at Shen Zheng's posture.
Without hesitation, he also placed the telescope in front of his eyes.
As soon as he raised his head, he saw a row of teeth. After shaking slightly, he subconsciously took down the telescope.
"I just now..."
The emperor felt very strange and was about to tell Shen Zheng about his feelings just now, but when he looked up, he saw the row of teeth again among the officials in the distance.
The tooth flower has become farther away!
"Ji Benchang!"
He immediately understood what was going on and was so excited that he couldn't even hold the telescope steady.
When Ji Benchang heard the emperor calling him, he turned around with a grin. Just as he was about to walk over, he heard the emperor scolding him, "Don't come over here! You are the Minister of Revenue, so hold back your smile!"
