Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 160: Lin Yi Exclusive (Second Release)

"You want to engrave it just like the little Emperor’s, for example, bearing ’Dear Husband’ as a gift to ’Dear Little Wife’.

But upon reflection, this seems inappropriate.

After all, the Emperor’s status is prominent, and despite notions of universal equality in name, it is impossible to achieve true equality.

If everyone saw those things as identical, it would invite unnecessary troubles.

As for why Lin Yi engraved ’Emperor’s Wife’ behind that particular mirror, freēwēbηovel.c૦m

it is simply because the term ’wife’ hasn’t appeared in today’s society yet.

Plus, it is in simplified characters, so even if someone saw it, they wouldn’t associate anything with it.

It’s not just the word ’wife,’ even the current way of writing ’Emperor’ isn’t used.

If Lin Yi doesn’t explain it, I fear no one would understand what’s intended.

Since it can’t be identical, Lin Yi thought to categorize them based on rank.

Like ’First Wife’, ’Second Wife’, ’Third Wife’ and so forth.

But upon thinking this way, Lin Yi shook his head, dismissing the idea.

After all, if one truly considered the sequence, the Empress should be first, this little one could be second, but the little Emperor is the youngest.

Clearly, this is also somewhat inappropriate.

After all, the Emperor’s status is conspicuous; in no way can he be considered the smallest.

Especially not before her—the Empress could still be justified, but the little one is no more than a minor palace maid.

If I don’t engrave, my intentions won’t be clear.

Eventually, Lin Yi simply engraved ’Exclusive to Lin Yi’ directly on them.

Even though it was done in simplified characters this time, and not many know what is engraved, even if someone did, there’s nothing inappropriate.

After all, Lin Yi didn’t mention what these four characters represent.

It’s surely not to be interpreted that whoever owns this mirror is Lin Yi’s exclusive possession?

Lin Yi could simply explain that the mirror was initially made for himself.

As to why it ended up in the hands of the Empress, that’s beyond his control.

If they like it and ask him for it, could he really refuse?

All things considered, this explanation works universally.

With that decided, Lin Yi set to work and immediately began engraving on the few mirrors.

Within moments, he had engraved ’Exclusive to Lin Yi’ on the back of each mirror.

Looking at these words, Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction and secretly vowed in his heart:

From now on, anything bearing these words shall become his ’exclusive’.

Seeing that it was still early, and considering he had almost turned into a monk over the past period,

he longed for the ladies of the harem.

Thus, Lin Yi simply gathered a group of soldiers and made a grand exit towards the Capital City.

As he had been awarded the Imperial Token by the Emperor and was currently serving as Left Martial Guard, entering and exiting the Capital City was utterly unobstructed.

Not to mention entering the city during broad daylight, even at night, even when the city gates were closed, just showing the token would suffice for entry.

In any case, these soldiers belonged to the Left Martial Guard, thus they had the right to enter and exit the Capital City.

Under Lin Yi’s lead, they headed to the Imperial City and returned to their main camp.

Lin Yi himself directly rode in a carriage into the interior of the Imperial City.

Of course, carriages and horses were strictly forbidden in the harem, so Lin Yi had no choice but to proceed on foot.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Lin requests an audience."

The young Emperor, who was writing something in the Imperial Study Room, was startled upon hearing the eunuch’s report.

He then looked up, frowning, and asked:

"Who did you say has returned, Little Lin? Haven’t I made it clear that he doesn’t need to be announced? Who stopped him outside?"

Upon hearing this, the young eunuch trembled in fear, hurrying to kneel and beg for forgiveness.

Just at this moment, laughter sounded from outside, and right after, Lin Yi appeared at the doorway of the Imperial Study Room:

"Haha, I pay respects to Your Majesty.

I had them announce on purpose, after all, we can’t neglect the formalities."

Seeing Zhou Yunliang appear, the young Emperor felt an inexplicable joy, but his expression remained stern as he scoffed:

"Hmph, didn’t expect you to learn some manners after being away for a few days.

Why didn’t you just stay there? Why come back?"

Despite genuinely missing him, that’s what he said.

After all, other palace maids and eunuchs were around, so neither the young Emperor nor Lin Yi showed an overly intimate demeanor.

Lin Yi then stepped forward ceremoniously and, bowing to the young Emperor, took a small box out from his robe:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have not disappointed your expectations and have succeeded.

Furthermore, I have especially processed and modified it further, developing something excellent.

Just finished researching and thought of presenting it to Your Majesty immediately."

He reached out his hand and handed the small box directly to the young Emperor.

Such an act could only be done by Lin Yi alone.

Had it been anyone else who dared to present a box from outside directly to the young Emperor, they would have been apprehended by the guards.

After all, no one knew what was inside the box.

This scene, observed by other palace maids and eunuchs around, enviously reflected the unprecedented trust the Emperor had in Eunuch Lin.

Hearing Lin Yi’s words, the young Emperor was instantly intrigued.

He extended his hand without hesitation, took the box, and quickly unlocked the copper lock:

"Oh, you really succeeded; haha, I must see how this compares to those of the Westerners.

Alright, everyone leave."

The latter comment obviously directed the palace maids and eunuchs to leave, as this matter of the glass was best kept from outsiders.

After all, this was something the two planned to use to fleece those plump sheep.

However, as the young Emperor’s hand moved and he opened the box, looking inside,

in the next moment, his eyes suddenly brightened.
