Chapter 104 - 104 Female Emperor104 Female Emperor
Leon turned the wooden box over and saw the pattern on the bottom. He asked in a low voice, somewhat puzzled, “Who would look at the bottom when it’s usually placed there? It’s useless to carve it. It’s just a waste of time.”
When Vivian heard Leon’s mumbling, she suddenly remembered that there was a Female Emperor in Country Z at that time. She looked at the same pattern on both sides and seemed to know something.
She reached out and pressed on the eye at the bottom of the wooden box. “There is also a mechanism here!”
Then, Vivian pressed a mechanism with one hand, and soon a small “click” was heard from the bottom.

The mother and son looked at each other in surprise. Vivian slowly released the bottom of the wooden box. The bottom of the wooden box was separated from the wooden box, and there was a wooden box inside.
Fortunately, there were no other mechanisms in the small wooden box. The lid was a pulling type, and when it was opened, a layer of silk was laid on the surface. Vivian guessed that it was used to fix the jewelry in place and to prevent the jewelry from rubbing against each other.
She gently lifted the layer of silk material, and Vivian and Leon saw a box full of 12 head accessories, including hairpins, hair ornaments, fine silk, and cream, which were made with floral and embedding techniques.
These two crafts were the traditional jewelry craftworks of Z Country. The lace craft had been passed down for more than 2000 years, and the craftsmanship was extremely difficult. Many craftsmen could only study one process in their entire lives.
Vivian looked at the unexpected fortune with her mouth slightly open. In terms of temperature, it was not a problem to sell them for tens of millions. Not to mention the exquisiteness and complexity of the jewelry in front of her, just the heaviness of history alone could increase the value by a lot.
Although Leon didn’t know the exact value of these things, he could tell from Vivian’s expression. He picked up a cane and shook it curiously. “I didn’t expect this wooden box to have a hidden compartment.”
Vivian cupped Leon’s little face and rubbed it a few times excitedly. “Your Mom is so lucky! I got another great deal just by going there! You’re also a small hero! I’ll really treat it as a wooden box.”
Leon smiled happily. “It’s good that I can help. But Mom is still better. You actually found the other switch so quickly.”
When Vivian heard this, she briefly explained to Leon, “In the feudal period of Country Z, men are superior to women. The ‘Feng’ is female, and the ‘Huang’ is male.1 So if we’re talking about who’s superior, men should be superior, and women should be inferior. However, there was a Female Emperor in Country Z in the 8th century. I thought that the culture at that time might be reversed, but I didn’t expect that I would be right!”
The two of them looked at the hair accessories one by one and were impressed by the wisdom and skillful hands of the craftsmen more than a thousand years ago. However, Vivian could not wear these things now. The head ornaments in Z Country had to be tied up in a bun to be put on, and she did not have the skill.
Vivian could only regretfully put the accessory into the wooden box carefully. “You found the secret of this box, so I’ll give it to you.”

Vivian looked at the jewelry in the box and began to make rich connections. “Then I’ll leave it for my future daughter-in-law. She’ll definitely like it if you give it to her as a gift.”
When Leon heard Vivian mention this topic again, he was a little unhappy. He hated the feeling of being separated from his mother after marriage.
It was as if Vivian was waiting for him to move out of the house on his own after he got married. Leon expressed his feelings again in a sullen mood. “I said I’m not getting married…”
Only then did Vivian realize the reason behind Leon’s unhappiness. She laughed at him in her heart for being a child, waiting for the day he would be slapped in the face.
She laughed as she put her arm around Leon’s shoulder and joked, “You can stay with me even if you’re married. I still need you to care for me in my old age.”
When Leon heard the second half of the sentence, his mood became better. He automatically ignored the first half of the sentence and made a promise very seriously. “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of you for the rest of your life.”
