Chapter 164 Miss Shen is so nice
"The Imperial Master is here. This is the Imperial Purple Jadeite sent from the Western Regions. Please take a look at it for me."

The old emperor looked at the person who had just entered the room with a forced smile.

The eunuch took the box to Wen Zhi with great insight.

"The Imperial Master has been in contact with merchants from the Western Regions for a long time, so he should have some knowledge of the items in the Western Regions."

Started testing again.

Originally, Wen Zhi didn't want to pay attention to him, but when he heard the word "Western Regions", he changed his mind.

He took it and looked at it, his tone was as impatient as ever, "It's okay."

Indeed it is possible. Shen You can produce jadeite with such natural craftsmanship through dyeing, so how can you say it is not possible.

The old emperor had never used any modern handicraft in his life, so it was worth it.

"Even the Imperial Master said it was good. It seems that the resources in the Western Region are really good."

The old emperor was playing with the dyed imperial purple in his hands, half of his face was buried in the shadows, and his light tone revealed his ambition.

There are so many good things in the Western Regions. If we can use the power of the national teacher to conquer the Western Regions, then with the resources of the Western Regions, why would Da Qi be afraid of the successive natural disasters and man-made calamities?

After using so many people, no one has found out where the Western Region is.

I don't know whether the route map I got from the caravan a few days ago is true or false. Should I say that the national teacher has some means, or that the so-called "Western Regions" is not an ordinary place at all.

Is it the legendary fairy mountain?
Is there any elixir there that can prolong life?
This issue, more than ordinary resources, excited the old emperor, and he even thought about it in his dreams.

Liu Zheng felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he stood aside with his head down, not daring to make any move, until he heard the old emperor speak, "What reward do you want?"

His desire to survive was overwhelming, and he quickly replied, "Everything in the world belongs to the saints. I am just fortunate enough to present it to you. How dare I take credit for it?"

The old emperor was very satisfied with Liu Zheng's tact and smiled, "The second young lady of your Liu family is very compatible with the imperial concubine. Why don't I issue an order today to assign the second young lady to Prince Cheng?"

Liu Zheng's back was covered in cold sweat. Although the emperor was old, the oppressive feeling from his eyes was enough to make people breathless.

"Yun Yan has never learned the etiquette of the capital since she was a child. I am afraid she is not worthy of His Royal Highness Prince Cheng."

Liu Zheng spoke with difficulty, carefully observing the old emperor's expression.

The old emperor didn't take his reasons to heart at all. As long as the decree was issued, if the Liu family dared to say no, they would be contemptuous of the imperial power.

He was about to speak when Wen Zhi threw the letter in his hand onto the table. It was an urgent report that had just been sent back from the border at full speed.

The old emperor waved his hand, motioning Liu Zheng to go down first, then he picked up the urgent report and took a look at it.

They were defending against a wave of enemy attacks and the two sides were in a stalemate, but Da Qi couldn't hold out for long without assistance.

The old emperor was not worried about the border issues. As long as the transaction was not completed, Wen Zhi would have to guard the country for him for a day, even if there was a mess over there.

"There must be a miracle medicine in the Western Regions. Why don't you find it for me? As long as I'm alive, you don't have to worry about the transaction failing." The old emperor suggested.

He was certain that Wen Zhi would not be able to get the transaction token.

Wen Zhi raised the corners of his lips, his eyes cold, "That's a good idea, but there really isn't any magic medicine in the Western Regions. Even if there is, it's useless for your body."

The old emperor didn't understand that his body was decaying quickly and he would not live long. This was the rule of the deal, giving him one last time to get his things back.

Not to ask him to help the old emperor prolong his life.

Liu Zheng deliberately slowed down his pace on the palace road, and when the imperial teacher's sedan chair came over, he pushed it to the side and bowed respectfully.

"Thank you for your help, Imperial Master."

Wen Zhi still looked calm and waited for Liu Zheng's next words. "I hope the Imperial Master can point out a way forward for the Liu family."

Liu Zheng said sincerely that he had promised not to let Yun Yan marry Prince Chucheng as a concubine.

There was really no other way, so he tried to ask for help, thinking that the other party might be able to help him because of his business cooperation with Manager Shen.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was tricked into repairing the Imperial Ancestral Temple. The Saint has already made up his mind and will not change it easily.

"You are not going to deliver supplies to the north. I can let Miss Liu go with me, but the situation in the north is serious. If she goes there, her life or death will be in the hands of God. Think it over within three days and then send someone to my house."

After saying that, the sedan chair continued to move out of the palace, and Liu Zheng bowed from behind.

Wen Zhi usually doesn't meddle in other people's affairs, but he remembered what Shen You said, the shop's slogan is: Protecting customers!
Besides, he also needs the Liu family, so the partner she chooses shouldn't be too bad.

Liu Zheng came out of the palace and went all the way to the shop.

Zhao Wanyi has already arrived. According to her previous temper, she would have quit long ago if she was asked to come out in such cold weather to wait for someone.

But the shopkeeper said that this thing was absolutely good, and the environment and service in the shop were impeccable, so she gave her a limited edition Western Region cake.

Only then did she patiently wait.

After Liu Zheng arrived, the shopkeeper's wife immediately brought in the box, placed it gently in front of Zhao Wanyi, and opened the lid.

Looking at the solemn look, you can tell that this thing is extraordinary.

When Zhao Wanyi saw the small jade carvings in the box, as well as a string of bracelets with good color and transparency, she was stunned for a few seconds.

"Miss Shen specifically asked me to show you all the goods in the capital first?"

"Except for the two pieces of Imperial Purple that were sent to the palace, the rest are all here."

The shopkeeper introduced, "Miss Zhao, you have seen many fine things, so you can definitely tell how good these jades are. Look at the color of this butterfly, changing from pink to purple and white, how beautiful it is."

Zhao Wanyi couldn't deny it, and suddenly felt touched.

I didn't expect that Miss Shen was so nice to her and really cared about her!
If you sell these things to any noble lady in the capital, she will happily pay for them.

Jade was a tribute, and it was not easy to get one with beautiful color.

"How much silver is this?"

"The bracelet on your hand and the butterfly cost two hundred taels of gold. It's hard to find another one of this color in the whole of Daqi. The leaf is cheaper at twenty taels of gold."

"Not expensive." Zhao Wanyi nodded.

It was transported here from such a faraway place in the Western Regions and it is the only one of its kind. Look at the carving that is as white as the surface of water. It is so precious.

It would definitely look good if the butterfly was made into a hairpin.

Zhao Wanyi thought that she had bought a lot of things during this period, and if she bought all the goods by herself, other families would be unhappy.

The palace will probably do the same. My father said we should keep a low profile at this juncture.

Otherwise she would have bought both butterflies and would not have chosen the inferior leaves.

Zhao Wanyi paid the money readily and was still sighing before leaving, saying that Miss Shen was such a nice person!
He did not forget to tell Liu Zheng, "If you see Miss Shen next time, tell her thank you."

The first thing Zhao Wanyi did after returning home was to ask someone to find good craftsmen to inlay the jade into the jewelry.

For such a valuable item, she had to find the best craftsman and have him come to the Zhao Mansion to make it before leaving, otherwise she would not feel at ease.
