I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 400 Mirror
Ever since Li Tian and Zhang Qinghuan confirmed their relationship, he ran out of the palace every now and then.

At the beginning, no one paid attention to it, but after a long time, other people can see a little bit of tricks.

The queen naturally knew why Li Tian often went out of the palace and didn't even come back at night.

But he also knew about Zhang Qinghuan's affairs, so he had nothing to do about it. Apart from making a few complaints, he didn't do anything excessive.

This made Li Tian feel even more sorry.

After coming to this world, he has had relationships with several women.

It may be because he spent far more time with the queen than other women, or it may be because the queen is his first wife.

In addition, she can be regarded as beautiful and gentle, and in Li Tian's mind, her status has never been shaken in any way.

During this period of time, he seemed to be a thief. Every time after accompanying Zhang Qinghuan, he tried his best to curry favor with the queen.

As for the Queen, on the surface she was dissatisfied with his absence, but every time she received a gift, she still kept it as a treasure, not even willing to show it to outsiders.

When Li Tian came to Kunning Palace, the queen was resting on a soft chair while reading today's Beijing News.

The short stories in the Beijing newspaper are getting better and better, and they are becoming more and more popular among the dignitaries in the capital, especially those ladies and women in the deep boudoir.

You know, in this era, reading is the patent of men.

Even if women want to read, they can only read articles about women's precepts, three obediences and four virtues.

Those things are not only boring, but also have an extremely contemptuous view of women.

A woman who is a little bit smarter will not be deceived by the content of that kind of book.

Because they can't find suitable books for them to read, the appearance of the Beijing News seems to have opened up a new world for them.

Especially for the short stories on the sub-page, the editors have racked their brains to create a new style of writing in order to attract people's attention.

Although it is impossible for their text to be too explicit because it was published in the official Beijing News, their bold innovations in the plot have resulted in the emergence of a large number of excellent works.

In fact, in this era, due to the further development of printing technology, coupled with the changes in the literary world at this time, Daming's novels have gradually become popular.

Outlaws of the Marsh, Journey to the West, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms among the four great classics were all born later.

In fact, in addition to the four major masterpieces, the Ming Dynasty also produced many other very influential works.

For example, the Romance of the Gods, The Legend of the White Snake, and the Jin Ping Mei, which was regarded as a classic by countless otaku in later generations.

Weird and bizarre, using the past to satirize the present, people who don't know the future will do it again, even the literati and students of the Ming Dynasty are also trying.

With the popularity of Yuan Zaqu, various scripts became popular.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty was relatively tolerant of these things.

Daming's achievements in fiction and literature at this time were not much worse than those in the Western world at the same time.

However, since more than 200 years later, the Qing Dynasty became the master of the land of China, and he suppressed the thoughts of the Han people in a cruel way.

This has led to the fact that for more than 200 years, the Chinese literary world has not been able to produce many works with absolute influence.

Li Tian saw the queen watching with gusto, as if fascinated, so he quietly came behind her without anyone disturbing her.

He conveniently took out a small round mirror the size of a palm from his sleeve, and placed it where the queen was staring.

The sudden appearance of the small mirror, as well as the clear and almost flawless face in the mirror, immediately caused the queen to exclaim, and even forgot to greet Li Tian.

"Ah, what is this? Is it also a mirror? How could it be so clear!"

This palm-sized mirror was specially made by Li Tianming. The whole body was embedded in a piece of jasper slightly larger than the mirror.

The edge of jasper is hollowed out and filled with precious metals of different colors such as gold and silver, forming a scene of dragon and phoenix.

Not to mention how the mirror is, the jasper on the outer layer and the hollowed-out sculpture alone can be called works of art.

Ancient Chinese glass mirrors were brought into China by foreign missionaries in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

There are seven or eighty years to go, let alone now.

So at this time, no one in the entire Ming Dynasty has ever seen such a crystal-clear mirror that can reflect human faces so clearly.

Even though the queen is the mother of the country, she is used to seeing treasures in the world, but this is the first time she has seen such a unique and cherished treasure.

Plus, women are naturally fascinated by these things.

Even though she was the queen, she couldn't help but shout out in surprise.

Li Tian put one hand around the queen's soft body behind his back, and whispered in her ear as if exhaling,

"How about it, Ling'er, you like this gift."

Being hugged by Li Tian like this in public, she blushed immediately, snatched the mirror from Li Tian's hand, and got out of his embrace.

"Your Majesty, why are you doing this again, what a shame!"

Reluctantly, Li Tian rushed forward again, and smiled while chasing,
"Ling'er, you haven't said whether you like it or not. If you don't like it, I can give it to someone else!"

When the queen heard what he said, she immediately took it seriously, and quickly protected the small mirror to her chest, like a hen spreading her wings to protect her chicks.

"No, if it falls into the hands of the concubine, it belongs to the concubine, and no one can take it away."

After such a pause, the Queen immediately fell into Li Tian's hands again, but no matter how Li Tian rubbed and itched, she would not let go.

It was common for the two of them to play around like this in Kunning Palace, and the maids and eunuchs who were watching hurriedly avoided to the side.

Seeing that no one is staring at him.

Taking advantage of the Queen's inability to dodge, Li Tian kissed her heavily on the face.

The Queen let out another exclamation, almost throwing away the small mirror, which made her tremble,
"Oh, Your Majesty, what are you doing, you are so ashamed!"

Li Tianxiao succeeded, and smiled proudly,

"Haha, let me make out with my wife, what's the big deal!"

The queen couldn't help giving him a blank look, and then carefully took out the mirror from her arms very preciously, half lying in Li Tian's arms, and carefully sized up this little thing.

From the small mirror, I can clearly see the faces of myself and Li Tian, ​​and the detailed picture actually made the queen feel unreal.

In order to verify whether what she saw was true, she slapped Li Tian's face with her hand, and squeezed it hard.

Following Li Tian's dissatisfied scream, the queen exclaimed again,
"My God, this is actually true!"
