"What?! Are you despising me you little brat?!" Se Boli brandished his shears, being careful not to hit any of his precious creations .

"Ah! I'm not! I'm just saying you're old and eccentric and any woman that would want to be with you is also weird!" Rong Jian replied as he backed away .

"So you are despising me! You little brat, I'll show you to disrespect your elders!" Se Boli started chasing him around as Rong Jian tried to hide . They both knew how valuable his gla.s.sware was so they tried to avoid places where gla.s.sware was placed, including the table Shen Tianyu was pondering at .

She was staring at a gla.s.s lamp on the table . Subtle waves were carefully carved into the lamp and painted with a golden fenghuang among gla.s.s clouds, whose tails were yet to be painted on, alongside some flowers with different colored pigments . As it was a lamp, aside from the side with the decorations, the rest of it was plain so as not to disturb the light from within . Because of the tinted flowers, sparkles of seemingly different colored lights fell on the table when sunlight pa.s.sed through . "Wow . . . it's so beautiful . . . " She sighed in awe . She was a fighter, not an architect so naturally she would be impressed with things she couldn't possibly make .

"Oh? You like this one, girl? I'll finish it and give it to you . " Se Boli, giving up on chasing Rong Jian partly because he was afraid of an accident, came over to her when he heard her gasp .

"Mm . It's really pretty . How many tails would it have for a future Qinw.a.n.gfei?" Shen Tianyu briefly glanced at him before turning her attention back to the lamp .

"Normally for a w.a.n.gfei of a Qinw.a.n.g, it'd be 7 tails . The Empress represented by 9 and State Princesses represented by 8 . " Se Boli replied with his hand on his chin .

"Then what about an Empress Dowager?" Shen Tianyu finally looked at him head-on and asked out of curiosity .

"The Empress Dowager would have 9 of course, Fenghuangs only have 9 tails but her symbol would have a little more to it . Throughout our history, that little something has changed depending on the Empress Dowager at the time though . There was one who's symbol had a dragon's head and others who merely changed the overall color of it and still others who just didn't bother and kept them as is though the last was few in number as that could cause confusion and forgery . In addition, most Empress Dowagers like to hold some amount of power, even if they liked the daughter-in-law, just in case anything happened in the future so the first thing they usually do is change their symbol up a little . " Rong Jian filled her in as he walked over from the opposite side, putting his wifey between him and the scary old gla.s.s maker .

Not minding or not caring Shen Tianyu continued with her thoughts . "That's only for a members of the royal family though, what about someone that's not married yet? Are the tails reduced?"

"Hm . . . usually I don't get told to make something until they're married or my work is presented as a gift on their wedding night so I'm honestly not sure what to do either . " Se Boli replied .

"Just give it 7 tails . We're already engaged anyways . " Rong Jian stared at the gla.s.s lamp .

"But it hasn't been officially announced yet . Besides, it's only an engagement, it can be more easily broken off than a marriage . In addition, your position is kind of precarious in the eyes of n.o.bility right? How about just make it 6?" She asked the two men .

"That's the number for Junzhus, I'm a Qinw.a.n.g how could my wife have less tails?" Her fiancee complained .

"But in the eyes of the court and the people, you're on the edge between a Qinw.a.n.g and Junw.a.n.g(2) right? It's better to be careful and not agitate those old foxes . It's just a missing tail, I'm still a Qinw.a.n.gfei in name at least . "

"But you're going to make your name and cement your position right? So it doesn't matter if you do use 7 tails . Maybe it'll anger the old foxes to an early grave . " Rong Jian smirked as he said the last part .

"You, ah . Is it okay for you to say that out loud?" Shen Tianyu lightly knocked on his head . He held his head as if he was in pain before regaining his demeanor .

"Don't worry . t's only us here and Uncle Se not only doesn't care about politics, he also watched me grow up so he won't do anything to harm me . " He proudly put his hands on his hips . Shen Tianyu raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything, thinking back to the old man chasing him with his shear since he noticed them inside the workshop .

"Hmph . As long as I can perfect and practice my craft, I don't care what you people do on the condition that you don't bother me . " The old man folded his arms across his chest and let out a harrumph .

"See?" Rong Jian leaned towards his fiancee but not enough that it was inappropriate for their relations.h.i.+p .

"Alright, alright . But you should still practice restraint so you won't accidentally say those things in public . " Shen Tianyu turned back to the lamp . "Then, can Senior Se paint on 7 tails and send it to Zhu w.a.n.gfu with a covered container?"

"Of course, of course! I'll get it done by tomorrow and send it over!" The Royal Gla.s.s Maker enthusiastically promised her as he rolled up his sleeves . "Alright, time to get to work . "

"Then, we won't be bothering Senior . " Shen Tianyu bent her waist in an elegant bow, her body parallel to the table so she won't b.u.mp into it .

"Oh, you're leaving already?" He asked slightly dejectedly .

"Yes, we still have places to go . And again, thank you Senior for going along with our request . " She responded with a smile as she straightened her back .

"No problem, have a safe trip! And you, little brat! Make sure to take care of her and treat her well, you hear me?! Or else, I'll be coming after you with my shears!" Se Boli yelled at their departing back .
