Chapter 1928 Golden Thread Jade Clothes

He took a deep breath, then turned to look at the envoy Nad and asked, "What clothes do you want?"

This time, I answered it myself.

He said four words in Chinese with some voices

"Golden thread jade clothes."

After saying these four words, the entire lobby became quiet and no one spoke again.

Zhu Feng, who had been silent, narrowed his eyes slightly at this time, looked at these people again, and seemed to have a flash of light in his eyes.

After a while, no one spoke.

Nada said another sentence to Anli, and Anli turned his head to them and said, "I wonder if sir, have you not heard clearly what our envoy just said. Lord Nada said that the third major thing to come to Yan Country this time is to ask for a golden jade robes from your country."

“…”

Ye Zheng still didn't speak, but just slowly frowned.

Gold-thread jade clothes.

He is not unfamiliar with these four words. Following Zhu Feng and having heard so many royal legends since he was a child, he is of course very clear about what a golden jade robe is.

The golden-thread jade garment, once called "Yuqi" in ancient times, was the burial garment worn by the emperor Bintian Queen when she was buried. They had never seen the real golden-thread jade garment, but some pictures in ancient books were made of countless jade pieces, connected by gold and silver threads.

It is called a jade suit, but it is actually more like a set of jade armor.

This kind of thing has no real purpose, it is just a burial object, but it is an inexpensive burial object. It not only requires the mining of beautiful jade in Hotan and transporting it to the capital from thousands of miles away, but also requires countless workers to carefully craft it and take years to make one.

It is said that the value of a gold-wire jade suit is equivalent to the total property of hundreds of medium-sized families.

Some diligent and thrifty emperors believed that such things were really exhausting the people and their wealth, so they prohibited the use of jade clothes.

So, this thing disappeared.

Unexpectedly, someone mentioned it now, and it was also a special envoy from the Western Regions.

Ye Zheng frowned and thoughtful, and asked, "I wonder why the envoy wants such a thing?"

Nada hesitated for a moment after hearing what Anli reposted.

Ye Zheng thought for a while and said, "I will not hide the envoy. This golden jade cloak has disappeared for many years and has never been used. Even if it is necessary, there are rules. Only His Majesty the Emperor and the royal relatives can use it, and not everyone can obtain it."

“…”

"The special envoy came to our Yan Kingdom thousands of miles away and asked for such a jade garment. I don't know what the deep meaning is."

“…”

The Envoy of Nadada said, "I am not hiding it from Lord Ye, because the king of our country has a very favored concubine and likes your things in the Central Plains. She wears silk, jade ornaments, drinks tea, and makes porcelain. This kind of trend has also arisen in our palace and country."

“…”

"That's why this envoy came from afar, hoping to trade with you and communicate with you."

"oh……"

"And she heard a legend about the golden jade clothes from somewhere."

"What legend."

"It is said that after a person dies, if he can wear a golden jade cloak, he will not only protect his body from immortality for thousands of years, but also become immortal if he has the opportunity."

“…”

"Our masters are very fond of her, so naturally they cannot refuse her request."

“…”

Ye Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

He murmured: "It's the favorite concubine who made a fuss again."

Hearing this, others still knew, Zhu Feng, the "guard" standing behind him, coughed lightly. Ye Zheng turned around and saw him glaring at him fiercely.

What is "again"!?

Ye Zheng also shrank his neck and laughed in his heart.

I thought to myself that if it were the past, I would definitely not have such a sigh. However, since the imperial concubine was enthroned, this wise and powerful emperor has made many "unswer moves" and how many things he has done with his wise and stupidity, he is very clear.

It is no wonder that for his favorite concubine, the King of Anxi actually sent a special envoy to the Central Plains to seek a golden jade garment.

From the first two things that the envoy came to discuss, it can be seen that King Anxi was a talented and not a short-sighted person. However, for a favored concubine, it was really a hero who was sad to be a beauty.

He had heard of the legend of the golden-thread jade clothes.

However, it was just because the golden jade clothes had disappeared, and no one had seen them before. Just listening to such a beautiful name, someone compiled beautiful stories and spread among the people.

But I didn't expect that such a story really deceived people.

So, Ye Zheng laughed and said, "The so-called golden jade clothes are just burial clothes that are buried after death. They do not have such magical effects. You should go back and tell the favored concubine that it is better not to have this thing."

Nada listened to Nili's retelling, looked at Ye Zheng again, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ye, the rumors may not be fake."

“…”

"Besides, you just said that none of you have ever used a gold-wire jade dress, so how can you be sure that it is not true?"

“…”

"Or, do you think this thing is not worthy of using by our country's favorite concubine, so you are perfunctory to us like this?"

Ye Zheng frowned and said, "Of course I don't mean that."

"Mr. Ye,"

Nada said: "My country is sincere in making good friends with your country, so he came from all the way. Lord Ye, are you unwilling to agree to such a small request?"

“…”

Ye Zheng's expression became solemn.

He originally thought that this matter was not a big deal and should be able to deal with it, but looking at the other party's expression, he found that the other party was determined to win.

It seems that King Ai really favored that favored concubine.

That would put such great pressure on an envoy.

Not to mention the shape of the golden jade robes, they can only be used by emperors and high-ranking nobles. Even if they really want to be given to them, this will not be made overnight.

Besides, this matter is not something you can make up for.

Time passed by little by little, and the sun slowly tilted westward.

As we watched, dusk fell.

Xue Yun was concerned about the situation on that side, and remembered what Mr. Huang said.

I don't like people disturbing me.

Then I know that I can sit by the window alone and wait quietly without any subtle sounds.

But why haven't they come out yet?

She poked her head out to see outside, but a golden light made her unable to open her eyes.

The place where they lived was surrounded by water, surrounded by a river like a jade belt. Her residence was especially close to the river. The sun shone on the river surface, and the rippling waves reflected were facing her.

Xue Yun reached out to block his eyes.
