Chapter 239 Emergency
"It's sweet, but the wine is not strong?" Xiao Li muttered something in his mouth, and when he heard the word "empress", he suddenly raised his head, "You said that the envoy had a good relationship with the empress, and Huangfu Haobo personally came to remind him, I'm afraid it was a Hongmen Banquet.
Bar?"
Huangfu Haobo was also stunned and nodded slightly.
"Anyway, be careful."
Xiao Li looked at Huangfu Haotian's firm eyebrows and nodded.
After a few peaceful days, Huangfu Haobo and Xiao Li became increasingly familiar with each other, and there was no longer any unfamiliarity. Xiao Li still did not give up the opportunity to find the antidote, but there was no news about the miracle doctor anymore, so he had to give up.
However, I originally thought that it would pass so peacefully, but I didn't expect that Xiao Li would be invited to the palace the next day after the envoy from the Qierluo Kingdom arrived.
In addition to announcing that a huge wine appreciation event will be held in the inner city of the capital three days later for many nobles to appreciate this rare thing, at the same time, unlike previous years, this time the whole country will celebrate together, allowing the common people of the capital to come and appreciate it.
However, such a precious and rare wine was afraid of being stared at by people from all walks of life. The empress suggested to the emperor that it would be a fuss to let some other important ministers guard it. Moreover, the big man on the battlefield was not as thoughtful as Xiao Li, so this honor
And the arduous task naturally fell on Xiao Li.
"Xiao Li, my dear, you are solely responsible for the wine this time!" The emperor smiled and asked the eunuch to hand Xiao Li a box.
Xiao Li looked up and saw that it was a brown bottle. Looking at the vaguely familiar English, Xiao Li was stunned.
This, this...
wine!
No wonder the queen likes it.
In the past, wine appreciation parties were held in the palace, but this time...
There must be a reason.
Xiao Li looked at the box that was handed over and was at a loss. In his panic, he even stuttered: "I...I can't do it..."
"I believe you. Xiao Li, my beloved, has always given me many surprises. This event belongs to you!" The emperor looked at Xiao Li's flushed face and smiled.
Xiao Li lowered his head and thought for a while before taking the heavy box: "Thank you, Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will do my best!"
Xiao Li, who returned to the Prince's Mansion, recalled that in modern times, he once stole a bottle of similar wine. At that business appreciation meeting, the world's most expensive 1995 vintage wine was presented.
This kind of wine is almost black in color, has a strong blackcurrant aroma, and is rich and heavy in fruity aroma. More than a thousand years of gestation and commercial speculation have made the price originally worth hundreds of thousands soar to tens of millions.
After reading the information, Xiao Li understood that the purpose of this exhibition was nothing more than to promote it commercially and to increase its commercial use. Although this was not what Xiao Li liked, she understood that in today's world of money, even if it is
Noble culture will also be compromised when it comes into contact with money.
The robbery that time was just a harmless joke played by the seller on his opponent, and the purpose was also to intimidate.
However, Xiao Li looked at this kind of wine carefully at the appreciation meeting. When he saw it again after time travel, his heart was filled with ups and downs.
"I heard that the idea this time is the queen." Huangfu Haotian reminded from the side.
"You mean?" Xiao Li opened his eyes wide.
"Yes, I have to suspect that she wants to take this opportunity to make you neglect your duty."
"But no matter what, I will definitely let her see that I am not that easy to mess with."
Xiao Li's angry look turned cute in Huangfu Haotian's eyes.
Huangfu Haotian had a faint smile on his lips and wanted to speak, but looking at Xiao Li's serious look, he refused to interrupt such a peaceful moment.
"Qingfeng, go see when the messenger's carriage from the restaurant will arrive. Xiao Li has probably gone there a long time ago. You should be ready to pick it up at any time!" Huangfu Haotian said as he looked at Xiao Li's closed door.
Qingfeng frowned when he received the mission from Huangfu Haotian: "The prince actually asked me to pick up such an important person. Are you afraid that I would steal the priceless bottle of wine on the way! Besides, she is the prince, the prince.
Aren’t you going to pick it up in person?”
Although the two of them treated each other with respect all day long, Qingfeng could clearly feel the difference in how the master treated Xiao Li these past few days.
In the past, it was a trend that the princess wanted the moon in the sky, and the prince could think of ways to reach the sky!
"Haha! That's not right. Ready-made gimmicks are being circulated for free in our country of Great Ling. By then, you Qingfeng will be a powerful person!" Huangfu Haotian didn't seem to take the sky-high price of wine seriously.
Xiao Li was arranged to go to the restaurant to pick up the envoy from the Qierluo Kingdom and rushed to the exhibition location and started making arrangements immediately.
From the layout of the venue to the dispatch of guards to guard the palace, the people Huangfu Haotian sent to her from the Prince's Mansion seemed to have little experience and could not help much. Besides, there were many people in the venue, and after a busy morning, it was still chaos.
But according to the time the emperor said, the exhibition would be held the day after tomorrow, and they seemed to have little time left.
But fortunately, Xiao Li has received rigorous and professional management training in modern times, and he managed this group of people obediently.
One day later, there was still half a day left before the wine tasting party. After intense arrangements, the wine tasting party started as scheduled. A large stage was set up in the inner city of Ruoda, and it was decorated extremely gorgeously.
The valuable wine was placed on a gold object, surrounded by pearls, making it look extremely luxurious.
When preparations for the wine appreciation party started, a large group of people rushed to the front, and the scene began to get a little out of control.
Xiao Li frowned and ordered to go down and take a look at the people to avoid getting mixed up with lawless people.
In the evening, all the lights on the street were turned on. Xiao Li was told that the emperor and the empress were about to arrive, so he quickly ordered the facilities at the venue to be turned on.
Xiao Li walked to the stage, stood in front of the stage covered with red silk, and began to exaggerate the scene. Looking at the dark crowd in front of him, Xiao Li felt an inexplicable panic in his heart.
There was also a hint of urgency in his eyes, Huangfu Haotian hadn't come yet...
Xiao Li tapped the golden cup filled with fine wine with her fingers, and her eyes lit up.
"fine……"
However, at this moment, the candlelight in the entire venue suddenly went out with a pop, and even the lanterns hanging on the tall poles were extinguished. Xiao Li's heart skipped a beat.
At that moment, she clearly felt the sound of a foreign object breaking through the air. After a moment of panic, she waited for the guards to light the candlestick lantern while everyone was screaming, but the bottle of expensive red wine on the golden lamp did not fly away easily...
"It's gone!" Someone in the crowd pointed to the empty gold cup, and when people saw it was empty, they suddenly became excited.
"Who stole the wine and did what?"
"That wine sells for a sky-high price, it's worth a fortune! I heard that the Queen likes it very much."
"Isn't it Mu Qingyang, the gangster who has been causing a lot of trouble recently?"
"How could Mu Qingyang steal this thing!"
Xiao Li felt a little nervous on the soles of his feet as he listened to the discussion below.
Someone can steal the wine without knowing it. It seems that this queen has really spent a lot of money.
The palace guards quickly rushed to the venue and conducted an interrogation of everyone in the venue. Xiao Li also acted as if he had been so frightened that he had drifted to an unknown place, and stood there in a daze with a pale face.
