"Jade seal??" Ye Qiqi looked at the emperor with some doubts.
"Yes." The emperor nodded, reached out and took out an exquisite box from his sleeve robe, then opened the box and took out a snow-white seal.
"This... is the jade seal?" Ye Qiqi looked at the seal in the emperor's hand and felt very curious.
"Yes." The emperor handed the seal in his hand to Ye Qiqi.
Ye Qiqi took the jade seal and looked at it carefully, and was stunned.
Why do the carved patterns and the sequence of gem inlays on this jade seal look so familiar?
Mo Hanqing stood behind Ye Qiqi, glanced at the jade seal in her hand, and then frowned slightly.
"Dad..." Ye Qiqi raised her head, looked at the emperor with doubtful eyes, and asked in a clear voice: "Does the pattern on this jade seal and the order in which the gems are set have any special meaning?"
"Yes." The emperor nodded, and then said earnestly to Ye Qiqi: "The pattern on this jade seal is the royal totem of the Night Kingdom. All the things used by the royal family of the Night Kingdom have such patterns on them. .”
"What about these gems?"
"These gems are also very particular." The emperor walked to Ye Qiqi, pointed to the jade seal in her hand, and slowly said to her: "Any member of the royal family of the Night Kingdom, according to their grade, can set the number of gems and the number of gems they can set." The colors are also different, and there are more details here, but they are roughly divided into five levels. The lowest level is inlaid with obsidian, with amethyst on top, sapphire on top, and ruby on top. Only the emperor can inlay gold. Of course, the number of gems inlaid in each grade varies according to the official position, but only the three items of the national jade seal can be inlaid with gems of all colors."
After hearing the emperor's words, Ye Qiqi couldn't help but look back at Mo Hanqing.
A faint light flashed in Mo Hanqing's deep black eyes, and then disappeared in an instant.
"But right now, this is the only one of the three items left in the national jade seal." The emperor sighed, and said helplessly to Ye Qiqi: "I put them in your mother's coffin. Among them, there is one thing that was taken away by your grandfather back then."
"I..." Ye Qiqi looked down at the jade seal in his hand, hesitated for a long time, then raised his head and whispered to the emperor: "I have seen the same pattern as this one, and the order of inlaid gems is also the same. thing."
After the emperor heard Ye Qiqi's words, he was stunned. After a while, he asked Ye Qiqi in disbelief: "Qiqi, what did you say? Have you seen it before? Where have you seen it!?"
"Here..." Ye Qiqi hesitated for a moment, then reached out and pulled out a necklace from his collar.
The golden key necklace was engraved with exquisite and complicated patterns. The key was inlaid with gemstones in the same color sequence as those on the jade seal, but the size was slightly different.
"This..." When the emperor saw the golden key necklace, he was shocked and speechless for a moment, "Isn't this the necklace I put in your mother's coffin?"
"Uh... ah?" Ye Qiqi twitched her lips. Is this the necklace in her mother's coffin? No, isn't this what Grandpa Zhen gave her?
