Empress Leia said with a beaming smile, "I'm glad you like it. I was worried you wouldn't."
The Emperor said, "She spent a long time in the storeroom picking that out. First, she'd think one thing wasn't exquisite enough, then that another wasn't pretty enough. Since it was her first time meeting you, she was determined to give you a decent welcoming gift. She wasn't even this thoughtful when she gave me a gift. She just grabbed something random from the storeroom for me."
Hearing this, Bai Zhi was even more moved. She remembered the gifts she had prepared for them before coming and quickly took them out. "These are the gifts I prepared for Father Emperor and Mother Empress. I hope you like them."
"This bolt of gauze is for Mother Empress. Although it's just gauze, it's actually deep-sea 'jiao' gauze. It's transparent and light, doesn't get wet in water, and is extremely comfortable as an inner garment in the winter."
