Eunuch Wan spoke up, "Your Majesty, this servant asked the little servants who attend to that side, and they said that in recent times, General Nangong and his wife sometimes play chess together, sometimes they paint, sometimes they practice archery in the garden, and more often than not, they talk about things that they can't understand."
"Oh? And what is it that they don't understand?" the Emperor asked, pretending to read a memorial as if he was only casually inquiring.
Eunuch Wan knew the Emperor's nature well and answered, "They talk about their hometown, something like 'airplanes,' 'cars,' and the like."
"Airplanes? Cars?" The Emperor was somewhat surprised.
Eunuch Wan said with a smile, "The Emperor must be curious too, right? Our servants don't know what these things are, guessing they might be toys that common folk children play with."
But the Emperor shook his head.
