Chapter 1927 A piece of clothing
“Ouch!”
Ran Xiaoyu was taking in the clothes that had just been washed and dried and preparing to put them in the closet when she heard the imperial concubine, who was sitting on the couch by the window, mending some clothes with a few pieces of cloth, suddenly let out a strange cry.
"My lady, what's wrong with you?"
Ran Xiaoyu hurriedly put down her clothes, turned around and ran over.
Nan Yan looked terrified, shaking her left hand non-stop. She was startled: "You got your hand pricked again?"
I don’t know what Nan Yan is thinking. Ever since she embroidered a bellyband for her unborn baby, her interest in needlework has been growing. Today, she asked the people in the Duwei Mansion for a few feet of cloth, ambitiously wanting to make a set of clothes for the emperor.
In just a short while, I heard her scream several times.
Ran Xiaoyu held her hand and said, "Are you pricked? Let me take a look."
Nan Yan quickly pulled her hand back and said, "No."
"Let me see!"
Ran Xiaoyu was very strong and didn't bother to be polite with Nan Yan. She grabbed her hand and looked at it carefully for a long time before she was sure that she hadn't pricked herself. Then she shook her hand away and said, "Then why did you scream? You made me think you were hurt."
Nan Yan laughed and said, "It almost stabbed me, luckily I was smart and dodged my hand."
"snort."
Ran Xiaoyu wanted to turn around and ignore her, but after thinking about it, she turned back to look at her and said, "My lady, please stop doing this. You embroidered until midnight yesterday, and got up early this morning to do this until now. Your hands are about to be pricked like a hornet's nest."
Nan Yan laughed: "How can there be so many."
She had been like a wild child in the Si family since she was young, so Gu Tingchun naturally would not hire anyone to teach her needlework. It was only before she was sent to the palace that she had to cram for a while.
But it’s not a child’s skill after all.
It’s okay to embroider a pattern, but I feel awkward when I try to do anything else.
But she was still embroidering seriously, stitch by stitch. Seeing her like this, Ran Xiaoyu sighed and could only make her another cup of chrysanthemum tea and handed it to her: "Your eyes can't bear it."
“…”
"Drink more of this tea."
Nan Yan finished embroidering another section, picked up the unfinished garment, looked at it, and said, "It looks good this way."
Ran Xiaoyu said: "Yes, yes, that's right."
“…”
"Once it is ready and presented to the Emperor, he will surely treasure it like a treasure."
Nan Yan glared at her and laughed herself: "What kind of treasure is this? How can a piece of clothing like this be considered a treasure?"
Ran Xiaoyu smiled and said, "This was made by the Imperial Concubine herself."
As she spoke, she went back to sort out the clothes and put them back in the closet, smiling, "In the eyes of the emperor, they are treasures."
“You!”
Nan Yan couldn't help but laugh and said, "He's learning to be as smooth-talking as Ye Zheng."
Hearing him mention Ye Zheng, Ran Xiaoyu couldn't help but worry again and said, "I don't know how they are doing now."
Nan Yan also stopped sewing.
Turning his head to look outside, he saw that the sun had clearly passed its zenith and was beginning to set in the west, so he said, "We should be talking now."
"Um."
“I just don’t know what they’re talking about.”
Thinking of this, Nan Yan couldn't help but frown.
She knew exactly what Zhu Feng wanted.
In addition to hoping to open the country's doors, resume trade with the Western Regions, and enrich the country and strengthen the military, the reason he was willing to meet with the special envoy in person this time was for the benzoin in the sachet left by the late Queen Chen.
Whether we can find clues to his life experience depends on this time.
However, what they didn't know was what the purpose of the Parthian envoy's visit was.
I just hope that the other party will not make any unreasonable demands to avoid complications and accidents.
Hearing Nan Yan's concerns, Ran Xiaoyu hurriedly said, "It shouldn't be."
“…”
"The envoy from the Parthian Empire has come all the way here—no, it should be said that they have come all the way here. They must have something to ask of our Great Yan Dynasty."
Nan Yan said, "I'm afraid they're asking for too much."
Ran Xiaoyu thought for a moment and said, "If they ask for any treasures, just give them the dress in your hand."
"What?"
"Let the emperor say this, this is the treasure in my heart."
"you--"
Ran Xiaoyu used to be a bit serious, but she would often tell a joke or two out of the blue that would make people laugh so hard that their stomachs hurt. Now, she has opened up her heart and become much more cheerful. She even deliberately spoke in a hoarse voice like Zhu Feng, and Nan Yan immediately bent over with laughter.
"You really are becoming more and more like Ye Zheng!"
Ran Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing herself.
After laughing, Nan Yan held up her half-finished clothes, looked at them for a long time, and murmured, "It would be great if the trouble they are facing could be solved by a piece of clothing."
As she spoke, she felt her shoulders stiffen a little and shook them with her hands.
Something happened to fall to the ground. Ran Xiaoyu walked over and picked it up. It was a beautiful handkerchief.
It was the handkerchief that Xue Yun had seen before.
"My lady, you haven't returned it to me yet."
Nan Yan couldn't help laughing when she saw the handkerchief. "How can I return it? The Emperor took it away before, and now we have left Bailong City. I'm afraid there is no way to return it."
He reached out and took it.
He laughed and said, "If that Master Xue, oh no, it should be Miss Xue, knew about this, I don't know what she would think of us."
Ran Xiaoyu said: "Maybe she thinks the queen is in love with her."
Nan Yan said: "Nonsense!"
The two of them laughed.
After laughing, Nan Yan put the handkerchief back and sighed, fearing that she would not be able to return it to Xue Yun.

"What? Clothes?"
At this moment, in the lobby of the Lianxin Hall, where the Yan Kingdom and the Parthian Kingdom were meeting, Ye Zheng frowned when he heard Gu Yiyou relay the words of the Parthian envoy: "You said, you want a piece of clothing?"
"Yes."
Omri was afraid that the other party would think that his retelling was wrong, so he continued, "Our envoy did say so."
“…”
Ye Zheng blinked.
After hearing the first two of the three things the special envoy mentioned to them this time, namely, clearing out the sand bandits in Hot Moon Bay and opening up ports for trade, they realized that these were major military and national policy matters. I'm afraid the third thing would not be a small matter either.
So, when they talked about the last thing, everyone perked up.
Unexpectedly, the special envoy Nadab asked for a piece of clothing.
He couldn't help but look back at Zhu Feng behind him.
After hearing the envoy's words, everyone present showed astonishment on their faces. Only Zhu Feng, who was dressed in guard's clothes and holding a sword on his waist, remained expressionless and completely unmoved.
Ye Zheng couldn't help but mutter in his heart: He is too patient.
But that's okay.
There has to be someone here who can keep calm and hold the fort.
So he took a deep breath, then turned to the special envoy Nadab and asked, "What kind of clothes do you want?"
