Chapter 1401: What kind of magical tree has magical leaves growing on it?
Kunhe Palace.
Tang Bao looked at the black brocade on the table and exclaimed in amazement with shining eyes.
"This material is obviously black, but it seems to be emitting golden light."
Tang Bao said with a look of surprise and reached out to touch it.
It feels warm and smooth, like warm jade.
It is a very cold color, but it makes people feel warm.
It also carries a faint sense of mystery, which makes people feel awe.
Wow! I can actually feel such an overwhelming aura from just a piece of fabric.
The Empress smiled and said, "This is called Tiansi Jin, also known as Black Gold Warm Silk. It takes decades to produce one piece. It can only be used to make the crowns worn by the crown princes during their enthronement ceremonies and the dragon robes worn by the emperors during their coronation ceremonies. This kind of material can be used to make them."
"So this is the legendary black gold warm silk!" Tang Bao said in surprise: "I've heard Aunt Gu mention it before, and I've also seen descriptions of it in ancient books. Today is the first time I've seen it in person."
After Tang Bao finished speaking, she touched it again lovingly.
Ancient books say that this black gold warm silk is extremely strong and feels like warm jade.
But when worn, it keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer.
What’s even more peculiar is that this material is impervious to water and fire.
Tang Bao almost couldn't help it, so she burned it with fire to see if it was real.
She had never seen fire-resistant material before.
As for materials that are not soaked in water, Tang Bao has seen them before.
There is a kind of blue shark silk that is like this.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but smile when she saw Tang Bao's rare little look.
If this was something else, the Queen Mother would definitely give it to Tang Bao.
However, this kind of black and gold warm silk is really rare.
As the queen, she didn't have any extra money.
The Queen Mother held back, but Xuanyuan Jin couldn't.
"Mother, is there no other color of this material?" Xuanyuan Jin asked.
After saying that, he glanced at Tang Bao.
The little girl is still young, she should wear something brighter.
This color is too dark and heavy, not suitable for little girls.
No one knows a son better than his mother. The Queen Mother understood what her son meant at a glance and shook her head regretfully.
Then, he reached out and touched the material, and said with emotion: "This material is not dyed, but woven from the black silk produced by a special kind of black silkworm. That kind of black silkworm is extremely difficult to raise, and it does not feed on mulberry leaves, but on a kind of golden leaves. Therefore, the black silk it produces seems to shimmer with golden light."
The Queen paused when she spoke here.
He added, "It is said that the most difficult thing is not raising the black silkworms, but the golden leaves. Because those leaves are too rare, the annual output is only a small amount, barely enough to feed a dozen or so silkworms."
Tang Bao: “…”
This is too difficult.
What kind of magical tree is this magical leaf growing on?
It’s almost catching up with the Golden Jade Leaf.
Well, it’s still worse than the Golden Jade Leaf.
After all, it takes ten thousand years to get a few golden jade leaves.
only--
Tang Bao touched his little pocket...
"Aunt, can't we plant more trees with golden leaves?" Tang Bao asked curiously.
The Empress shook her head and said uncertainly, "I'm afraid not. Otherwise, they wouldn't have not sent tribute of this kind of material for decades."
The one she has now was passed down to her by the Empress Dowager after she was crowned Queen.
When Xuanyuan Jin was born, he was canonized as the crown prince.
Therefore, only a corner of the material was cut off and a bellyband was sewn for the little prince.
The Queen Mother looked at the material on the table and worried secretly, wondering if she could get another piece of this material before her son inherited the throne.
If not, his son's dragon robe in the future will have to be replaced with other brocades.
When the Queen thought of this, she subconsciously glanced at Tang Bao.
After hearing what the Queen said, Tang Bao couldn't help but feel regretful.
It's a pity that such good material cannot be produced in large quantities.
Apart from anything else, this material is warm in winter and cool in summer, impervious to water and fire, and extremely strong.
If you sew battle robes for the generals at the border, it will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort at certain times.
Xuanyuan Jin couldn't bear to see Tang Bao's regretful expression, so he immediately said, "Since you like this material, take it and have it dyed to your favorite color and make yourself a set of clothes."
Tang Bao: “…”
Brother, you are so brave.
However, I feel a little inexplicably touched. What's going on?
"Brother, if this natural material is dyed into other colors, it would be a waste of nature's treasure!" Tang Bao looked at Xuanyuan Jin with the look of looking at a cow chewing a peony.
Xuanyuan Jin: "..."
ungrateful!
"If you don't dye it another color, you're still young and you can carry it off, but you'll look too old." Xuanyuan Jin said with a frown.
He likes little girls to wear bright and colorful clothes.
The whole person is like the spring sun, with flowers blooming all over the mountains.
At the same time, it also brightened his heart.
After hearing Xuanyuan Jin's words, Tang Bao quickly said, "No! Brother, you are wrong. I can't hold on!"
Tang Bao looked very serious.
What a joke! This fabric is only suitable for the emperor and the prince's robes. Does she deserve it?
Not worthy!
"Don't worry, brother. I will definitely embroider your prince's formal dress in a way that will shock the world and make ghosts cry. It will be unique in the world!" Tang Bao promised solemnly.
She had already pictured in her mind the grand scene of the little brother wearing this dress and stunning the world!
Xuanyuan Jin: "..."
It doesn't matter what he wears, as long as the little girl likes it.
Tang Bao naturally liked it, even when she was just picturing it in her mind, her starry eyes started blinking.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Following a shout of "yes", all the palace maids serving in the hall knelt down.
The Queen also hurriedly brought Xuanyuan Jin and Tang Bao to welcome the emperor.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you!"
The Queen's voice is clear and ethereal, her temperament is as elegant as orchid, and her movements are ethereal and graceful.
It was like a fairy in the sky, spreading out a cloud.
"Hahaha... Queen, there's no need to be so polite."
Emperor Tianxi stepped forward with a smile on his face and personally took the Empress's hand.
The Queen: “…”
In front of the children, she finally did not shake off the emperor's hand.
I just secretly pulled my hand away
Not pulled out!
Emperor Tianxi was delighted and held the fist even tighter.
Xuanyuan Jin and Tang Bao did not notice the interaction between Emperor Tianxi and the Empress, and stepped forward together to pay their respects.
"Your son greets His Majesty."
"Su Tang meets the Emperor uncle."
"Well, get up." Emperor Tianxi said kindly.
His right hand was still holding the Queen's hand, and he was reluctant to let go.
You know, he hasn't been able to get close to his queen for many years.
Although, the queen took all the blame for the witchcraft case.
However, only Emperor Tianxi himself knew that it was he, the emperor, who was being tortured.
The queen refused to let the emperor in with the words "I am guilty and unworthy of serving the emperor."
Even now that the truth is out, the queen is still cold and indifferent to him, the emperor.
