Lei Jun said, "It was merely a little trick born of a sudden whim, still rather crude. I hope Master Yu won't laugh at me."
Yu Cheng shook his head, his gaze uncommonly animated, "Master Lei was far too modest, this is quite commendable, how could it be called a little trick?"
The two grew absorbed in their conversation, not even noticing how time flew by, and soon it was nearly noon.
Yu Cheng came to himself, apologized to Lei Jun, and instructed someone to prepare a meal.
Lei Jun showed no change in expression.

If the Empress hadn't returned to Luoyang, Lei Jun could have swaggered about, turning the Great Celestial Mirror wherever he pleased to inspect the Imperial Capital inside and out.
But with the Empress back and Luoyang as the capital of Great Tang, Lei Jun thought it prudent not to wield the Great Celestial Mirror openly, lest the Empress perceive his actions.
