With this embroidery piece, I've finally paid off the gift.
The total value of Ye Yinyin's shopping spree for Lin Wanwan today is probably about the same.
It pains Lin Wanwan a bit to pay in cash because her cash flow is limited, and converting antique treasures is difficult, but when gifting embroidery pieces, she's very generous!
This piece, although it took two of Lin Wanwan's palace slaves a month of hard work, they belong to her, so the costs are ridiculously low.
She just gave them a few small favors and a little respect, and the two embroideresses were deeply moved.
It's not that she doesn't want to give more, but the historical context doesn't allow it.
The slave system in the Tang Dynasty was a combination of feudalism and slavery, where household slave laws were stricter than those for livestock; she alone cannot challenge the societal values.
