161: Chapter 161: Unique in the World (First Update) 161: Chapter 161: Unique in the World (First Update) Yet at this moment, as she directed her gaze inside, suddenly a shimmering silver object appeared within.
Not only that, but when she looked closely, she was shocked to find that her own appearance was perfectly reflected on it.
She couldn’t wait to reach out and take it.
After taking it out, looking closely at the specific appearance of the object, she couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment.
The craftsmanship was incredibly exquisite!
A whole piece of glazed material?
But how could this glaze perfectly reflect her own shadow?
It was much clearer than the copper mirror she was currently using.
No, it’s not just clearer, it should be said that they are not even on the same level.
In front of this Glaze Treasure Mirror, that copper mirror was simply trash.
Even the specially provided one that the Emperor currently uses was trash.
Not to mention the copper mirror, the reflection shown on this was even clearer than that of the reflection in the water.
Although this young Emperor usually dressed as a man, deep down she was a woman after all.
What woman doesn’t love shiny things?
What woman doesn’t love mirrors and beauty?
It was for this reason that she now absolutely adored this object.
She didn’t even care that Lin Yi was still there; she just stared straight at the mirror, turning it over and over.
Her face showed her undisguised pleasure.
After closely inspecting it, the young Emperor gently flipped it over to look at the back.
Holding it, she had felt there seemed to be some carvings on the back.
When she looked at it, she was even more shocked, becoming completely petrified on the spot.
What was on the back?
The back unexpectedly had a carved engraving and the carving looked so familiar.
Was it an engraving of the Emperor?
Indeed, the engraving was real, and the craftsmanship was incredibly exquisite!
How had she never heard of such a skilled painter among those painters before?
Although it was only a few simple strokes, her figure was carved very perfectly.
Particularly, the Giant Dragon behind her and the auspicious clouds under her feet were full of profound implications.
The swimming dragon utterly displayed the majestic aura of an emperor.
And the gentle auspicious clouds seemed to reflect her inner heart.
In summary, the detailed and exquisite carving thrilled the young Emperor.
Not only that, as she looked at this portrait, a line of small characters at the bottom also successfully caught her eye.
Seeing it, the young Emperor was instantly dumbstruck.
She saw the same mysterious characters as those in the Secret Manual!
There were such mysterious characters here?
She had never heard of anyone knowing this kind of script.
Moreover, if someone really recognized this script, wouldn’t they have been recruited into one of the major Sects by now?
Seeing the shocked expression of the young Emperor, Lin Yi couldn’t help but slightly curl the corners of his lips:
[Hehe, shocked aren’t you?
Shock is only right, how could something personally crafted by me not astound you.
Hehe, but you might be a bit confused, huh?
Don’t recognize the text on it, do you?
That’s just as well, if you really knew what I inscribed, wouldn’t you immediately change your expression?]
However, these words were vividly etched into the young Emperor’s mind, which shocked her even more.
And everything seemed to make sense now.
She had never known any sculptor who possessed such craftsmanship, such painting skills, and such methods.
But now, it appears that it was all Lin Yi’s doing, which made sense.
Especially the text on it, which she had asked him to hide in the back of the Imperial Study Room; he had read the text from the Secret Manual, every single word of it.
This also let her know that Lin Yi could understand those texts.
And she immediately recalled that Lin Yi seemed to have said internally that these texts belonged to the era they were in.
Since Lin Yi could understand it, it made sense to use it now for carving.
However, looking at this line of text, the young Emperor was indeed somewhat puzzled.
She was unclear about the meaning of the text.
Could there be some special significance to it?
Was this line of text another kind of mental method from the Secret Manual?
Of course, Lin Yi naturally didn’t know about these little thoughts of the young Emperor.
If he had known, he would definitely find it laughable.
What kind of mental method?
Could Lin Yi say that it was just the most cliché and banal love phrase?
“This is the object you’ve crafted.”
Well, after a round of amazement, the young Emperor forced herself to calm down, and then raised her head, looking intently into Lin Yi’s eyes.
Although Lin Yi was very proud in his heart, his face showed neither expression nor pride, just calmly nodded:
“Your Majesty, the Glaze has been successfully developed, although the various sculpting techniques still need the artisans to familiarize and practice.
But as for the quality of this Glaze, Your Majesty can see that its purity is much better than the samples brought by the English.
The best they brought were merely near-brown transparent beads, at most, they had nearly six layers of transparency.
However, my creation has achieved eight to nine layers of transparency.
As for this item that I am presenting to Your Majesty today, it was specifically researched for Your Majesty.
Your Majesty is nationally graceful and beautiful, so a commonplace copper mirror is naturally not fitting.
Therefore, I thought, why not make this Glaze into a mirror?
In these past days, I have been deeply contemplating, unable to eat or drink, focusing solely on researching this Glazed Mirror for Your Majesty.
Finally, heaven favors the diligent, and just yesterday, I managed to perfect it.
Last night, I stayed up all night carving the relief on the back.
Not daring to slack off, after arranging things early this morning, I hurried back just to allow Your Majesty to see this Glazed Mirror sooner.
Additionally, this Glazed Mirror was handcrafted personally by me, an unparalleled piece in the whole world.”
Hearing Lin Yi’s words, it must be said, although the young Emperor’s face showed little emotion, her heart was deeply touched.
She gripped the Glazed Mirror even more tightly, fearing that it might accidentally fall and shatter.
And this small Glazed Mirror seemed to have gained considerable weight.
