I opened the Ming Dynasty

The procession of civil and military officials and dignitaries who came to present gifts lasted until late at night.

I, Chunhua, Yueying, Lu Xiaofeng, Lili, Xiaoling, the concubines, and the princesses are all so busy and tired from entertaining people that we complain constantly; but at the same time, we feel ecstatic looking at the mountains of wealth and luxury that are piling up in Anle Palace!

When the eight of us were about to take a break, a young eunuch suddenly reported that Shen Wansan, a wealthy businessman from Jiangnan, wanted to see us!

I was slightly startled. Shen Wansan was a very wealthy man. He came here so late at night, so he must have something important to tell me.

Not long after, Shen Wansan came in hurriedly under the guidance of a young eunuch!

He was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, a green hat with nine tortoise patterns on it, and his face was filled with a humble and ingratiating smile.

As soon as he saw me, he immediately knelt on the ground, shouting, "Greetings, sir. I, Shen Wansan, am sorry to have disturbed you so late at night. I hope you will forgive me!"

I raised my hand slightly, motioning him to stand up, and said calmly, "Shen Wansan, why are you here so late at night?"

Shen Wansan hit the ground with his head, arched his back, and said flatteringly: "Sir, I heard that you are very happy today, so I came to give you a small gift to show my respect and blessing to you."

After saying that, he clapped his hands, and a group of servants came in carrying boxes of gifts.

In the brightly lit Anle Palace, after the first box was slowly opened, a brilliant and dazzling light suddenly burst out. The light was so bright that it was impossible to look directly at it!

Looking closely, I saw that the box was filled with all kinds of amazing jewels.

Those pearls are round and full, emitting a cold and charming light, as if they are mysterious treasures born from the depths of the sea.

Each one is like the brightest star in the night sky, sparkling with dreamy brilliance.

The emerald green color of jade is like the freshest branches and leaves in spring, full of vitality.

Some of them are carved into exquisite ornaments, while others remain in their natural form, but the noble temperament they exude cannot be ignored.

The colorful colors of agate are like a rainbow that is crushed and scattered in it, the red is warm, the yellow is bright, the blue is deep, each color has a unique charm.

And the corals are like flowers blooming on the seabed in spring. They have different shapes, some stretching like branches, some floating like clouds, and each one seems to be telling a mysterious story of the ocean.

These jewels really have everything, and each piece seems to be a masterpiece carefully crafted by God.

They are not only material wealth, but also the ultimate embodiment of art and beauty.

Shen Wansan knelt at my feet with a respectful and flattering smile on his face. He pointed at these dazzling jewels and said in a flattering voice like a eunuch: "My Lord, please look! These jewels are all gifts I specially prepared for your wedding. I have spent countless time and energy and traveled thousands of miles just to find these rare treasures in the world as a blessing for your wedding!"

I raised my foot and pretended to step on his head. Shen Wansan became more and more excited, trembling all over, and then said: "I know that you are of noble status, knowledgeable and have extraordinary taste, but I believe that these jewels will definitely make you shine. Their value is inestimable, and each piece is a rare treasure. I hope you will like them!"

Shen Wansan then introduced in detail the origins of these jewels.

He talked about the biggest pearl, which he obtained from a distant island country in the South Pacific after countless negotiations and transactions.

It is said that the pearl was once a treasure of the local royal family. It was passed down through several generations before finally falling into his hands.

There was also that piece of jade, which he had purchased from a reclusive collector with great difficulty. The collector loved it very much, but was moved by Shen Wansan's unremitting efforts and sincerity and finally gave it up.

Behind every piece of jewelry there is an unknown story, which may be thrilling or tortuous.

As Shen Wansan introduced the jewelry, he secretly observed my expression. He was filled with anxiety, wondering what I thought of these jewels.

He hoped that I would be impressed by these jewels and thus favor and trust him more. He knew that the value of these jewels was not only their material value, but also the opportunities and benefits they could bring to him.

If I like these jewels, then his status in my heart may be further enhanced, and his future financial prospects will be brighter!

As Shen Wansan spoke endlessly, time seemed to slow down.

The box full of jewels looked even more gorgeous and colorful under the light, as if they were showing their charm and value to people.

The entire Anle Palace is filled with a luxurious and mysterious atmosphere, making people feel as if they are in a dreamlike world.

Shen Wansan stood beside the pile of jewels, his eyes full of anticipation and desire, waiting for my final judgment on these jewels.

With a bit of curiosity and anticipation, I lifted Shen Wansan's chin with my toes and signaled him to open the second box.

The moment he gently opened the lid of the box, it seemed as if a bright light suddenly burst out, hitting my eyes directly, making me squint subconsciously.

As I tried to adapt to the dazzling light, I looked carefully and saw that the box was full of piles of gold ingots.

The golden light seemed as if the sun's light was concentrated in this small space, and every gold ingot shone with a "charming" brilliance.

They are arranged closely together, layer upon layer, and the light interweaves and reflects on each other, filling the entire box with this golden light.

These gold ingots piled together really looked like a towering hill, which exuded a suffocating charm, and the edge of each gold ingot flashed with a sharp light, as if announcing their preciousness and value to the world.

The light jumped and flickered, like countless golden elves dancing happily. The pleasant sounds made by their collision with each other seemed particularly clear in this joyous palace, as if they were playing a hymn of invincible wealth!

This hill made up of gold ingots has an indescribable sense of three-dimensionality and layering.

Seen from a distance, it is so majestic and spectacular, the dazzling golden light seems to break through the roof and go straight into the sky; and when observed from close up, each gold ingot has unique texture and luster, and they combine together to form a magnificent picture!

The light is sometimes soft and sometimes dazzling, like an unpredictable golden dream that makes people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves!

The smile on Shen Wansan's face, which had turned obscene due to excessive flattery, looked particularly funny under the reflection of the golden light.

He kowtowed several times and said humbly, "My Lord, please look here. This is the gold I prepared specially for your wedding! I sincerely hope that your wealth will be as piling up as this gold! This gold represents my deepest blessing and respect for your wedding. I hope you will accept it!"

I stood in front of this pile of gold ingots and was shocked by the strong visual impact!

The light seemed to have a magical power that made it impossible for me to take my eyes off the pile of gold ingots.

It was a spectacular sight that could not be described in words!

My heart beat involuntarily quickened, my blood boiled in my body, and an indescribable excitement and excitement spread in my heart.

Every detail of this mountain of gold ingots is so clearly presented in front of my eyes. The shape of each gold ingot is almost perfect, they are round and smooth, exuding an attractive charm.

The pile was so high that I had to look up to see the top of the mountain, and I felt so rich and powerful that I couldn't help feeling arrogant.

I seemed to be in a golden world, and everything around me was covered by this light.

In the light, Shen Wansan's figure seemed a little blurry. His humble attitude and flattering words were like wind in my ears.

There is only this Yuanbao Mountain in my heart, only this shocking visual impact and sense of picture!

I imagine my life after I have all this. It will be an incomparably luxurious and enviable life of happiness and freedom!

However, while I was shocked, I also had some thoughts in my mind. Although wealth is important, can it really bring true happiness and satisfaction?

I looked at the pile of gold ingots and gradually got the answer in my heart. Wealth is only a part of life, and what is really important is the inner peace and love of life. But it is undeniable that the visual impact and shock brought by this box full of gold ingots will remain in my memory forever!

When the third box was slowly opened, it was like opening a mysterious door leading to the palace of art.

For a moment, the light in the box seemed no less brilliant than that of the box full of gold ingots, except that this light was more restrained and profound, full of the charm of history and culture.

The first thing that catches your eye is a calligraphy work by Wang Xizhi. The elegant handwriting seems like a nimble dancer dancing on the paper!

Each stroke contains endless charm, some are strong and powerful, some are graceful and smooth, as if one can hear the rustling sound of Wang Xizhi splashing ink and writing with his brush thousands of years ago when he was drunk!

The ink color is as deep as the starry sky in the middle of the night, exuding an otherworldly temperament that makes people sigh at the infinite charm of calligraphy art!

Next to it, a cursive calligraphy work by Zhang Xu is like a surging torrent, and its unrestrained lines are full of power and passion.

Every word seems to be breaking free from the shackles of an iron cage, freely displaying one's own personality and passion!

The ink spots are like splashing water, with a wild and shocking beauty, making people seem to feel Zhang Xu's intoxicated state when he was creating.

Immediately afterwards, a painting by Wu Daozi appeared before my eyes.

The delicate brushstrokes make the characters vivid, as if they were walking out of the painting. The characters' demeanor, movements, and even every subtle expression are portrayed vividly, which is amazing!

The smooth lines seem to be naturally flowing spring water, giving the painting a lively vitality, making it worthy of being a masterpiece of the painting saint.

Looking at Gu Kaizhi's works, his unique painting style carries a poetic romance. The characters in the paintings are graceful and elegant, and their eyes reveal endless emotions.

The soft colors and delicate depiction create a dreamlike atmosphere that makes people intoxicated, dizzy and confused!

Yan Liben's paintings show a majestic momentum!

Whether it is the magnificent palace or the majestic figures, they are all portrayed extremely realistically, making people feel as if they can travel through time and space and witness the glorious historical scenes with their own eyes.

Every detail demonstrates the master's superb craftsmanship, making people feel sincerely in awe of the ancient glory.

Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy works, on the other hand, present an elegant charm.

The font is dignified and beautiful, with a rigorous structure, and every stroke reveals the character and temperament of a scholar.

The ink colors are just right, like a beautiful piece of music, which makes people feel particularly peaceful in their hearts while appreciating it.

Each of these precious antique calligraphy and paintings carries the memory of history and the sedimentation of culture.

They are the crystallization of human wisdom and the treasure of art. They lie quietly in front of me, but emit endless light, as if telling the world about those glorious years!

Shen Wansan sniffed at my toes and humbly introduced: "Your Majesty, I have collected these antique calligraphy and paintings with great effort. They are the only treasures left in the world. I hope they can add some cultural atmosphere to your Anle Palace."

And I have long been deeply attracted by these national treasures, immersed in this ocean of art, and feeling the cultural charm that has spanned thousands of years.

When the fourth box was slowly opened, in an instant, a mysterious and powerful aura seemed to surge out!

Inside the box, there was a box full of magical weapons that emitted a dazzling light!

The dazzling and brilliant divine light instantly made the huge Anle Palace solemn.

The first thing that catches your eye is Guan Yu’s famous Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

The blade flashed with a cold light, as if carrying Guan Yu's endless dominance on the battlefield!

The blade was like a winding green dragon, seemingly ready to break free at any moment, whistling through five gates and beheading six generals. It was indeed true that: When the Green Dragon Sword came out, the wind and clouds changed, and the murderous aura filled the sky!"

The handle of the knife is carved with delicate patterns, as if telling of the countless times it has experienced. Every detail shows its might and invincibility!

Immediately afterwards, Lu Bu's Fang Tian Huaji stood proudly in the cold, emitting a sharp aura!

The tip of the halberd was as bright as lightning, flashing with a terrifying sharp edge. The halberd handle was slender and strong, engraved with mysterious runes. An incomparable sense of power and oppression came over you!

This Fang Tian Huaji once accompanied Lu Bu on the battlefield of the Three Kingdoms and shocked the world with his halberd. It will be famous through the ages and will be remembered forever!

Now it lies quietly at my feet, still emitting its unparalleled arrogance...
