The emperor was currently standing in front of an immense mirror, tidying up his appearance.
Sun Kui stood behind the emperor, watching as the emperor occasionally touched his chin, raised his eyebrows, and patted his face, exclaiming in admiration every now and then.
"I never realized I was this handsome."
"Your Majesty, you are the most handsome under heaven," Sun Kui flattered, albeit somewhat perfunctorily. Ever since Prince Han sent this large mirror, the emperor had been admiring himself every day before court, praising his looks.
How had he not noticed before just how... as Prince Han once put it, how vain the emperor was?
Even after court, the emperor would come to preen before the mirror. No, any free time he had, he spent admiring his own beauty in front of the mirror.
Right, there was also a large mirror like this in the Imperial Study. The emperor specifically commissioned it so he could admire his own beauty while in the Imperial Study.
