Participate? The clay doll vendor was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said nothing, instead picking up Borjigin Nian's earlier words and continued, "You may not know, guest, but there's a story behind women loving red clothes in the Capital City!"
"Oh?" Borjigin Nian, upon hearing this, immediately got interested.
"Haha..." The vendor smiled with pride and warmly explained, "His Majesty the Southern Emperor, from the marriage alliance between the Great Zhou and the Southern Emperor, surely you guests are aware?"
As the vendor spoke, he clasped his hands towards the sky to show respect for the Southern Emperor.
"Of course!" Under his felt hat, Borjigin Nian blinked his big eyes, knowing full well that the Southern Emperor you're talking about is right here in front of you, eagerly picking out your clay dolls!
How undignified! The dignified Southern Emperor actually likes ordinary folks' trinkets, losing face, yet my master is enthusiastically helping her pick them out!
