"Is it for the thing in this box?" Uncle Mu asked Xin Yeheng straightforwardly. Xin Yeheng had no intention of hiding it from Uncle Mu, so he simply nodded.
"Yes, it's for the thing in the box. But," Xin Yeheng looked at Uncle Mu seriously, "the thing in this box is very dangerous. I hope Uncle Mu, you can think it over before you agree."
Hearing Xin Yeheng's words, there was a hint of complexity in Uncle Mu's eyes. Considering the last time Xin Yeheng came to him, Uncle Mu seemed to have an idea already. "Is there wood from the Kula tree in this box? Do you want me to make a mirror with it?"
"Since Uncle Mu you understand, I'll make it short. Yes, the box contains wood from the Kula tree," Xin Yeheng simply admitted it. "I want Uncle Mu you to help me process this piece of Kula tree wood."
"Oh? What do you want to make? The Kula tree is very dangerous. If you accidentally inhale its toxins, it's very easy to die."
"So, that's why I asked Uncle Mu you to think it through. Whether Uncle Mu you agree or not, I'll respect your choice. I won't force you to agree to this unreasonable request of mine. If I knew how to make wooden products myself, I would definitely choose to do it myself instead of asking someone else to do this dangerous thing. I would feel guilty."
After hearing Xin Yeheng's words, Uncle Mu smiled. "Young Master Xin, I know. Anyway, I'm just a lonely old man. This time, I'll just return the favor you saved me last time."
"Please don't say that, Uncle Mu. It's me who should thank you for helping me."
"Don't be so polite. You can come to my small shop and sit with me when you're free. I'm so bored alone. If you like, I can also teach you my mirror - making skills. Anyway, my craft will be lost after I die. It's better to teach it to you."
After reaching an agreement with Uncle Mu, Xin Yeheng said that he would come back for the finished product in a few days. Uncle Mu tried to persuade him to stay. "Young Master Xin, you're leaving so soon. I was thinking of keeping you here for dinner."
"Not this time. I left a message for my family saying that I would go back on time tonight. I can't break my promise to them. Last time I left without saying a word, they had a hard time looking for me. I don't want them to worry about me."
"Okay, then next time. Come to my shop for the finished product five days later."
"Okay, thank you so much, Uncle Mu!" With that, Xin Yeheng stood up and bowed deeply to Uncle Mu. Uncle Mu was so scared that he quickly got up to support him, saying again and again that he couldn't bear such a big salute from Xin Yeheng.
When Xin Yeheng came out of Uncle Mu's shop, it was already dusk. The orange glow was like thick paint smeared on the sky. The whole world was filled with warm colors. The glow shone on Xin Yeheng's face, making him feel warm, even his heart was warm.
Calling his personal attendant, Xin Yeheng got on the carriage and left Mu's Mirror - Making Shop. When he returned to the palace, it happened to be dinner time. Xin Yeheng was really glad that he could come back before dinner because Wei Shuxuan told him yesterday that she would have dinner with him tonight.
Back in Huaman Palace, Xin Yeheng quickly changed into his palace robe and asked the kitchen to prepare dinner, waiting for Wei Shuxuan and Xin Zizhao to come.
In Fenghe Hall, Wei Shuxuan asked Chief Li to go to the Imperial Hospital to get some medicine. After the medicine was boiled, it would be sent to her. Xin Zizhao was looking at Wei Shuxuan sitting by the bed. Wei Shuxuan seemed to suddenly remember an important thing and suddenly turned her head. "By the way, Xin Zizhao, I promised Yongheng to have dinner in his bedroom last night. But I have to take care of my father today. How about you go alone tonight?"
Seeing Xin Zizhao's somewhat gloomy face, Wei Shuxuan was worried that he wouldn't agree, so she continued to persuade him. "Xin Zizhao, he's your younger brother. Although you have different mothers, he's still your family after all. So, just agree with me, okay? Come on, come on, Xin Zizhao~"
Sometimes, Xin Zizhao really couldn't resist Wei Shuxuan's coquetry. He reached out and rubbed his forehead. "Yes, yes, I know. I'll go, okay?"
"Then I'll count on you, Xin Zizhao! I like you so much!" Wei Shuxuan threw herself into Xin Zizhao's arms and happily told him her mood at this moment.
However, it was the first time Wei Shuxuan said such sweet words to him. Although it was unconscious, it was enough to make Xin Zizhao blush, even his ear tips turned red. "What nonsense are you talking about? You take good care of General Wei here. I'll go to Yeheng's place first."
"Okay, come back early."
Wei Shuxuan said goodbye to Xin Zizhao with a smile. After watching Xin Zizhao leave, Wei Shuxuan then turned around and looked at Wei Tu who was still lying in bed resting. Dad, get well soon.
When he arrived at Huaman Palace, Xin Yeheng had prepared dinner early. Who would have thought that the only person who came was his elder brother Xin Zizhao. "E - elder brother?" He looked around. "Why are you the only one? Sister Xuan?"
"Xuan'er is taking care of her father in Fenghe Hall. She's not free to have dinner with you tonight. But she asked me to come and have dinner with you. She's worried that you'll be lonely."
Hearing Xin Zizhao's words, Xin Yeheng was stunned. He didn't expect Sister Xuan to say such a thing. He smiled. "Thank you, elder brother, and Sister Xuan. I'm really happy. Even if she didn't come to have dinner with me, I'm still happy because she made me feel family love again..." So, I can't let my current family get into trouble.
Thinking of this, Xin Yeheng was more determined in his mind.
Soon, five days passed. Xin Yeheng sent a message to Wei Shuxuan, saying that he would have dinner outside tonight and she didn't need to come to Huaman Palace to have dinner with him.
"Where has this child gone again?" Wei Shuxuan heard the message from the little eunuch and thought worriedly.
Coming to Mu's Mirror - Making Shop again, Xin Yeheng also brought a gift. "Uncle Mu! I'm here to see you!"
As soon as he shouted, Uncle Mu came out from inside. "Young Master Xin, you're finally here! The thing you asked me to make is done. Take a look and see if it's okay?"
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Mu!" Xin Yeheng took the box from Uncle Mu's hand. When he opened it, he found a dragon inside. Its shape was very beautiful and it was very exquisitely made.
"What do you think?" Uncle Mu looked at Xin Yeheng with a smile.
"It's very beautiful."
