Cai Wei ordered Pei Yao to fetch an empty brocade box, and then had her show the brocade box to all the royal consorts, princesses, and madams before commanding Pei Yao to cover the box and place it on a low table just two or three meters away from her seat. She laughed and said, "Today, everyone sees my palace for the first time, yet I was late due to some reasons, and I am very guilty about it. Later, I will distribute the items that appear in this box to everyone."
Having said that, she raised her hand and pointed in the air towards the box, theatrically shouted, "Quick!"
The box did not move an inch, yet Cai Wei confidently told Pei Yao, "Go, open the box, and let all the royal consorts, princesses, and madams take a good look…"
Pei Yao did not believe that the Empress could produce something just by pointing, but still obeyed and opened the box.
Instantly, everyone in the pavilion was stunned!
