My hotel is full of emperors throughout history.
Chapter 4 The Two Curious Individuals
Of course, it wasn't just Li Shimin; even Fang Xuanling, the strategist in "Fang's Strategies and Du's Decisions," looked somewhat pale.
Looking at the room's layout, he was momentarily at a loss for words.
The silence continued until Chen Mo clapped his hands, breaking the silence.
"Alright, you two, like I said before, since we're here, let's make the best of it. Since we're here, let's get buried, pshaw..."
Chen Mo coughed lightly.
"There's no point in agonizing over it anyway, let's tackle the real problem first."
He couldn't stop smiling as he thought about the golden melon seeds in his pocket.
"Don't worry about the room rate, the money you pay is enough for you to stay here for quite a while."
Chen Mo paused, then rubbed his hands together.
"I can't guarantee anything else about my shop, but I absolutely guarantee it will be quiet, clean, and safe."
"My dad put a lot of effort into decorating this shop back then."
"Although the outside is a bit old, the interior is solidly furnished and well-insulated, ensuring that no one will disturb you two... as you explore your new environment."
As he spoke, Chen Mo patted the wall, making a solid sound.
Although business was dismal, his father had poured a lot of effort into this small shop back then.
The decoration materials are very high-quality, but the location and business are outdated.
"As for the rest,"
Chen Mo pointed to the lights, switches, television, and the direction of the bathroom in the room.
"I can teach you how to use all these novel gadgets. I guarantee you'll learn."
"I'll take care of your food and drinks. It might be a little difficult to find something to your liking, but you won't go hungry. How about that?"
Li Shimin remained silent for a moment, forcibly suppressing the turbulent waves churning within him.
Ultimately, he was the emperor who ushered in the Zhenguan era, and his adaptability and ambition were far beyond those of ordinary people.
"it is good."
Li Shimin's voice was a little hoarse, but it had regained its composure.
"Then I'll have to trouble you... Shopkeeper Chen."
Seeing this, Fang Xuanling breathed a slight sigh of relief, but his wariness of Chen Mo was not completely eliminated. He simply suppressed his doubts for the time being and cupped his hands in greeting.
"Thank you, shopkeeper. Everything... will be arranged by the shopkeeper."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xuanling's gaze swept across the room, still filled with unease about this unfamiliar environment.
"Alright!"
Chen Mo slapped his thigh, his smile brighter than ever before.
"Then you two should rest for a bit and get familiar with the surroundings."
"I'll go get you some food and drinks, and while I'm at it, I'll see how to handle this gold... uh, deposit."
Chen Mo walked to the door, pointed to the button on the bedside table, and gave instructions.
"Just press that red button on the wall if you need anything; it's a call bell."
"As long as it's legal and legitimate, I can help!"
After saying that, Chen Mo left the room, closing the door behind him.
The moment the door closed, Chen Mo leaned against the corridor wall and let out a long sigh of relief.
He pulled the golden melon seed out of his pocket, his heart pounding.
"Dad...maybe our family's shabby shop is finally about to turn its luck around?"
Chen Mo muttered to himself, his eyes filled with excitement.
Whether the two who came were real emperors and prime ministers who had traveled from ancient times, or actors who were too immersed in their roles, it didn't matter.
Or it could be some kind of variety show made for others to watch—as long as the money is real, you're God.
With the hotel facing a business crisis, it's crucial to seize every opportunity to make money.
After all, you can't just turn down money, can you?
With a sigh in his heart, Chen Mo went straight downstairs.
Just as Chen Mo went downstairs to prepare food.
Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling, however, remained unsettled in the room for a long time.
As soon as the door closed, their feigned composure crumbled somewhat, and the two began to carefully examine this incredibly unusual guest room.
What first caught their attention was the porcelain jar, which was as white as jade and had a unique shape.
"Xuanling, look at this."
Li Shimin squatted down, looking astonished.
"The material is similar to porcelain, but it's not porcelain. It's exceptionally smooth. Placed in this secluded little room, could it be... for washing hands? Or a vessel for holding water?"
Fang Xuanling leaned closer to take a look and even saw a small amount of clear water inside, so he nodded.
"Your Majesty is wise; this item also appears to be used for washing hands."
He tried touching the cool ceramic edge with his hand and marveled at it.
"Extremely exquisite craftsmanship, flawless, a rarity in folk art."
Li Shimin felt the same way, then looked up and his gaze was drawn to a huge, crystal-clear mirror on the wall.
He walked to the mirror, where his complete, perfectly detailed image was clearly reflected.
His heroic face, upright posture, and even the fleeting surprise in his eyes were all vividly portrayed.
This clarity far surpasses that of the bronze mirrors in the palace that require meticulous polishing.
"this……"
Li Shimin subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face, and the person in the mirror made the same movement in perfect sync.
"Is this a mirror?"
Li Shimin was stunned again.
He had never seen such a clear mirror before.
Although the bronze mirrors in the palace were also crystal clear, they required frequent maintenance and were far inferior to the mirror before us.
He had fought on the battlefield and seen countless deaths, but at this moment, a mirror had shaken him to his core.
Fang Xuanling also came over and looked at himself in the mirror, where he could see the exact reflection of himself, even the slightest tremor of his beard. He couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"Incredible! If this mirror were used to straighten one's clothes and observe one's expression, it would be able to see even the smallest detail!"
"If this item were in the imperial court, it would surely be a powerful tool for... discerning people's hearts and paying attention to appearances."
Li Shimin nodded, then his gaze fell once again on the washstand in front of the mirror, and he couldn't help but ponder.
"And what is this used for?"
He looked at the washbasin, then at the toilet he had just touched.
Could it be that you scoop out the water from inside and pour it into this room for washing?
But isn't that troublesome?
Moreover, there isn't enough water in there to wash your face.
Li Shimin fell into deep thought.
He only came to his senses when Fang Xuanling called him again.
"Your Majesty! Come quickly!"
Li Shimin hurriedly came out of the bathroom, and as soon as he came out, he saw Fang Xuanling standing by the window, marveling at the sight.
Li Shimin followed his gaze, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed in surprise.
"Such pure glass exists!!!"
"If this were brought back to our dynasty, it would surely be a priceless heirloom, yet here it's merely used as a window!"
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard, his face showing emotion.
"Perhaps these modern people have already cultivated immortal techniques."
Upon hearing this, a fiery glint flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.
"So, it seems those people from the future have already discovered the secret to longevity?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Xuanling stood aside and bowed.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on this opportunity! It must be a divine arrangement that has allowed Your Majesty to come to the future!"
Li Shimin agreed upon hearing this.
"It seems this truly is an opportunity for our Great Tang Dynasty!"
"Buzzing!"
Suddenly, a slight buzzing sound began.
Then the ceiling light above my head flickered twice and then turned off by itself!
The room was plunged into darkness instantly, with only a faint light coming in from the window.
"???"
The two immediately became alert, stood up instantly, and assumed a defensive stance back to back.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
Fang Xuanling said in a low voice.
Just as they were getting nervous, Chen Mo's voice and footsteps came from outside the door, followed by the sound of a room card being swiped.
The door was pushed open, and Chen Mo carried a tray with two bowls of freshly made instant noodles and several bottles of cola on it.
He looked at the two figures in the darkness, who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, with a puzzled expression, and then pressed the switch by the door with a "click".
The ceiling light came back on, dispelling the darkness.
"Oh, it's nothing, it's probably because no one has lived here for a long time, so there's some contact problem."
Chen Mo explained casually, placing the tray on the small table.
"I've prepared some food for you two to tide you over."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Mo pointed to the instant noodles.
"Since there was only one bucket of pickled cabbage left, I made a spicy one for you."
"You shouldn't mind, right?"
