The Sovereign conferred the title of Qimeng Princess upon Nana and bestowed upon her the Tang Dynasty Small Sleeves. Additionally, she was granted numerous properties, including a magnificent residence in the capital, along with immense wealth and exquisite garments.
When the Sovereign announced the conferral and rewards, everyone in the grand hall displayed envy. The ministers hurried to congratulate the Sovereign, praising his wise decisions and his favor towards Qimeng Princess.
Qimeng Princess, named Ling Xue, outwardly expressed joy and gratitude, slightly bowing as she said, "Thank you, Sovereign, for your great kindness. I shall do my utmost to serve you." However, deep down, she was plotting how to use these gifts to fulfill her mission and escape this perilous environment as soon as possible. The Tang Dynasty Small Sleeves presented to her were breathtakingly beautiful, showcasing exquisite embroidery and an ancient charm that left everyone in awe.
Ling Xue gazed at this artifact with anticipation, fully aware that these small sleeves would be the key to changing her fate. The grand residence in the capital was spacious and luxurious, with various rare flowers and plants adorning the courtyard. The rooms were filled with exquisite furniture and decorations, reflecting the Sovereign's grace.
As Ling Xue stepped into this residence, her heart was filled with mixed emotions. She knew she had to act swiftly and not be deceived by this temporary wealth and splendor. Piles of riches and garments sparkled under the light. Looking at these rewards brought her both joy and deep concern; she understood that behind this superficial glory lay countless dangers and challenges.
In the grand hall, after the Sovereign announced Nana Ko's title and rewards, several powerful ministers whispered among themselves nearby. Their glances frequently darted towards Nana Ko, their eyes filled with ulterior motives.
One minister murmured, "Nana Ko is truly favored by fortune to receive such grace from the Sovereign. However, just look at her; it’s hard not to feel tempted." Another minister smirked slightly, revealing a hint of malice as he replied, "Hmph, we dare not touch the Sovereign's women, but Nana Ko is so alluring that it stirs our desires." Their words dripped with lewdness and greed, as if Nana Ko were merely a plaything in their eyes.
Nana Ko keenly sensed the ministers' lascivious gazes directed at her, a wave of disgust and unease washing over her. Ling Xue accepted the precious Tang Dynasty Small Sleeves with slightly trembling hands.
Once she returned to her quarters, she eagerly examined this artifact under soft lighting, carefully studying its related introduction. The description detailed that during the Tang Dynasty period in Xia Country's history, the Fusang Kingdom had sent two envoys to pay tribute. To honor this friendship and significance, Xia Country had meticulously prepared many precious gifts, of which these Tang Dynasty Small Sleeves were one.
Though the fabric of the small sleeves appeared weathered by time, it still possessed a unique texture—delicate and soft—seemingly retaining warmth from that glorious era. The embroidery was exquisite beyond compare; each stitch reflected the ingenuity of ancient artisans. The floral and avian patterns were so vivid that they seemed poised to take flight or release their fragrance at any moment.
