The jade egg that Hong Wu gifted the empress last year was one of the rare treasures of the world. The "100 Beauties" painting was also a pretty good gift, and naturally, so was the mirror that Ren Baqian had gifted. There was no telling if the empress would receive such gifts like she had last year.
Many people looked toward Hong Wu first. Following the usual practice, Hong Wu would present the first gift.
Some looked at Ren Baqian as well. He had more weird stuff, and they weren't sure what he would bring out.
"Hong Wu, General-in-Chief Who Supports the Nation, presents 100 armor plates and 2,000 blades!"
His current gifts weren't as precious as the previous year's, but they weren't irreverent either. 100 armor plates were worth a great sum, and 2,000 blades were as well. This gift was deserving of Hong Wu's status.
