The White-haired Queen

Queen Xuehui listened quietly, thought for a moment, and then slowly said: "The glass technology is not owned by me alone, but belongs to Shangxie Country. But we can consider cooperating with you to jointly develop the glass market. However, the specific details need further discussion."

Bei Mingyu was delighted, knowing that this was a good start. Next, he would have to start a tough negotiation with Queen Xue Hui to ensure the maximum benefit for both parties. But he was confident that through cooperation, they could achieve a win-win situation.

The negotiations were going on in full swing, and after a few more rounds of heated discussions, they should be almost done, but at this time, news came from the Beicang Kingdom.

The Queen Mother of Beicang Kingdom - Beimingyu's mother was seriously ill. On her deathbed, she was thinking about her little son all the time. The King of Beicang wanted Beimingyu to go back quickly to see her for the last time and let Jiang Yuxuan take over Beimingyu's negotiation work.

Jiang Yuxuan had only been away from Shangxie Kingdom for a few days, but during these few short days, Shangxie Kingdom had invented cement, bricks, and glass, which was simply beyond his imagination.

The matter of marriage suddenly did not seem so important anymore. If one could successfully join Wen Lanyue's team, or obtain the right to purchase these astonishing inventions, it would also be a very wise and satisfying choice!

After all, compared with the various potential risks and constraints brought about by marriage, such opportunities are obviously more attractive and have more development potential.

In this way, not only can a series of complex problems that may be caused by political marriage be avoided, but also glory and achievements that truly belong to you can be pursued with your own strength; at the same time, by obtaining those highly innovative and practical invention patents, it is also expected to shine in the business field, earn huge wealth, and further enhance the social status and influence of the Beicang Kingdom.

All in all, this undoubtedly provides people with more diversified, flexible and free choices, making the future full of infinite possibilities.

After Beiming Yu returned to China, Wen Lanyue handed over the negotiations to Lin Yuanzhi and went to the weaving department in the palace.

People's life is nothing more than "food, clothing, housing and transportation", but among them, "clothing" is the first; looking at the word "warmth" is also before "fullness". This shows how important clothing is to people!

Now that the kang has been arranged to be sorted and repaired, we should also go and take a look at the clothing production at the Weaving Department.

Wen Lanyue walked into the weaving department, where the craftsmen were busy working. She carefully observed every process, from the selection of fabrics to cutting, from the fineness of needlework to the exquisite embroidery, all of which showed superb skills.

Wen Lanyue saw a half-finished gorgeous dress with exquisite patterns embroidered on it, and couldn't help but reach out and touch it. The texture was soft and smooth, and the silk thread was as delicate as silk.

"Who is this dress for?" she asked.

"Your Majesty, this is a new dragon robe made for Your Majesty," the craftsman replied.

Wen Lanyue nodded slightly, thinking to herself that the emperor's attire represents the image of the country and must be of the highest quality.

Wen Lanyue learned more about the fabrics used in the Weaving Department. They were basically silk, satin, and some cotton.

She asked the general manager of the Weaving Bureau in detail, and after in-depth communication, she finally had a more comprehensive and profound knowledge and understanding of the fabrics and clothing produced in her country.

Wen Lanyue had an idea. The costumes of Shangxie Kingdom were unique and exquisite. If some modern elements and features could be incorporated into the costumes of Shangxie Kingdom, novel styles would definitely be created.

She gave some of her casual drawings to the general manager of the Weaving Department, and asked her to gather some skilled embroiderers to discuss design plans together. Unconventional and novel things are always more likely to be recognized.

After several days of hard work, the new pattern clothing was finally produced.

Wen Lanyue looked at the clothes in front of her and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

These costumes not only retain the traditional style of Shangxie Kingdom, but also incorporate some modern elements, making them more novel and elegant.

She decided to promote these new clothing styles so that more people could wear beautiful clothes.

Wen Lanyue showed the new clothes to the concubines in the palace and received their high praise. So she proposed to the young emperor to hold a grand fashion show to showcase these new clothes.

The young emperor readily agreed and ordered to invite envoys and nobles from various countries to watch. On the day of the fashion show, the palace was beautifully decorated, and the models wore new clothes with graceful postures and light steps, winning cheers from the audience.

This fashion show not only made Wen Lanyue's new clothing famous, but also promoted cultural exchanges between countries. Since then, Wen Lanyue's fashion concept has influenced the entire Shangxie Kingdom, and she has become a well-deserved fashion queen.

Wen Lanyue looked at the hard-earned funds in her hand, and she was filled with emotion. The money was raised little by little through the fashion exhibition, but she did not use it on herself, but decided to use it for more meaningful things.

After careful consideration, Wen Lanyue decided to buy a batch of cotton balls and make cotton clothes by herself. She knew what the cold winter meant to people in poor areas, especially children, who might suffer from illness or even lose their lives due to lack of warm clothes.

So, Wen Lanyue began to look for high-quality cotton raw materials and carefully selected the softest and warmest cotton balls. Then, she called together some craftsmen and said to them: "You have worked hard, but you still have to work harder and make these clothes better."

The craftsmen responded in unison and worked harder. She also joined in, sewing cotton-padded clothes stitch by stitch. She poured her love and care into each cotton-padded clothes, as if she was weaving a protective net for souls in need of warmth.

As time goes by, new cotton-padded clothes are gradually formed. Wen Lanyue looks at the pile of achievements in front of her, with a light of satisfaction and relief in her eyes. These cotton-padded clothes can not only give others physical warmth, but also convey endless kindness and care.

At this time of year, the capital was still in the embrace of autumn, but Sumu City, which was adjacent to the Northern Cang Kingdom, was already shrouded in severe cold. The howling autumn wind seemed to indicate that winter was coming. At this cold moment, Wen Lanyue asked Ma Chao to take this batch of thick cotton clothes and set off for Sumu City.

After a long journey, they finally arrived at their destination, Sumu City. They then rushed to the City Guard House and handed the warm cotton-padded clothes to the city guard general Shangguan Xin.

Shangguan Xin took the cotton-padded jackets and was filled with gratitude when he heard that the Queen Mother personally participated in sewing them. He knew what these cotton-padded jackets meant to the people in the city. They not only protected them from the biting cold wind, but also conveyed a heavy care and love.
