What kind of expression could the emperor have? The emperor's expression was explosive.
Adhering to the principle that an extra breath is a breath, the head chamberlain tremblingly carried the bowl of wine into the imperial study.
The royal study room, which was full of laughter, suddenly became quiet.
Several courtiers from the Southern Kingdom stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes. Finally, their eyes followed the bowl of wine as it fell to the emperor's table, and then looked at the emperor.
"Your Majesty, it's too insulting for me to sincerely come to the palace to ask for a drink in the middle of the night." The face of the Minister of War suddenly darkened, and his words were as unceremonious as those of an envoy from a powerful country.
The emperor's face was green. He looked at the bowl of wine and was so angry that he almost wanted to overturn the wine to the ground.
Slapping the table, the emperor said angrily: "What's going on? I asked you to get wine, why did you just get a bowl?"
Simply ridiculous!
Did you go all the way to bring wine in from outside the palace, and just come in with a bowl of wine all the way?
The emperor could not even imagine how the chamberlain carried this bowl of wine into the imperial study in the rain.
The chamberlain is feeling miserable.
The emperor has already made bold statements, saying that the winery belongs to the emperor himself, so the head chamberlain cannot say that the wine was obtained from the King of Nanhuai for nothing.
He could only say: "Your Majesty, the winery really didn't know that the envoys wanted this wine. This wine was brewed in two jars. One jar was taken away by the King of Nanhuai today, and the other jar was left. The bowls were measured, and the servants brought them all into the palace. However, the jar accidentally knocked on the way into the palace, and then it was transferred to the bowl and brought in."
The head chamberlain sighed in his heart: I tried my best~
The envoys of the Southern Kingdom were not fools, so they were not easy to fool. The Minister of War said: "Since the winery is owned by His Majesty, why don't you use this kind of wine instead of low-quality wine at the palace banquet?"
The emperor was so angry that he couldn't vent his anger, so he had to apologize and said, "This wine is not easy to brew, and the finished product is only one or two jars."
The Minister of War did not buy his account and asked aggressively, "Even if we only have one or two jars, our noble princess has traveled thousands of miles to come here. Isn't she worthy of your majesty's one or two jars?"
There is only one bowl left in this jar. Since the King of Nanhuai can take away a whole jar today, why didn't he use that jar of wine to entertain our princess at the previous palace banquet?
We have come all the way to get married, and we want the two dynasties to coexist peacefully. Your Majesty is so kind-hearted, that he looks down on us like this?
Forget it, since His Majesty doesn’t like it, there’s no need for us to shamelessly stay in the capital of your dynasty. We’ll leave early tomorrow morning without bothering His Majesty to entertain us!”
After saying that, several envoys from the Southern Kingdom stood up and left.
How could the emperor let them leave like this?
If they leave with their front foot, the Southern Kingdom will have to raise their troops to fight back.
In desperation, the emperor even lost his majesty. Huo stood up, supported the table with both hands and leaned forward to persuade him to stay. "You guys stay, things are not what you think."
The Minister of War did not really want to leave, he was just showing off his momentum.
After being persuaded by the emperor to stay, he turned back with a cold face, a look of anger on his brows, and said nothing.
The emperor endured the humiliation of being humiliated by envoys from other countries, and said with a smile on his face: "Although this winery belongs to me, I don't have time to take care of it on weekdays. The King of Nanhuai is usually in charge of the winery.
Whatever new wine comes out of the winery, he sends it to the palace. Usually there isn't much of it. I use it at family banquets or when I drink with the courtiers.
The wine this time was actually not delivered by the King of Nanhuai..."
Before the emperor could finish his explanation, a servant outside reported back, "Your Majesty, the King of Nanhuai wants to see you!"
Several envoys from the Southern Kingdom looked at each other, with a look of gloating in their eyes. The Minister of War said: "The King of Nanhuai must have heard that we were thinking about His Majesty's drinks and came here specially to deliver them."
The emperor has no reason not to let Xiao Yu come in.
But once Xiao Yu came in, he couldn't hide the fact that he had just said that the winery was his.
What is this?
Does he, the majestic emperor, still need to lie?
The emperor's head was eight big, but in just a moment, a big blood bubble arose in his mouth, and he wished he could faint as soon as he closed his eyes.
The chamberlain looked at the emperor sympathetically.
He has never seen anyone be so useless as an emperor!
What did you say you did to lock the eldest princess in the cold palace?
Well why lie and say that the winery is yours!
If it hadn't happened before, would there be any need to suffer like this now?
The emperor almost gritted his teeth and forced a smile, "Let him come in."
Xiao Yu held a jar of wine in his hand, shook off some rainwater splashed on his body, and walked in from the outside with a dandy pace.
"Just now, the commander of the imperial army went to the minister's residence to ask for drinks. It was late at night, and he didn't explain clearly. He only said that he wanted drinks, and that the envoy from the Southern Kingdom wanted to drink or something like that.
At that time, I was thinking about what kind of wine the envoy from the Southern Kingdom drank in the middle of the night. I was in a daze from sleep, so I didn't think much, so I brought out a bowl of wine and sent him away.
Later, when I went back and thought about it, I felt something was wrong, so I quickly brought this jar of wine into the palace."
As Xiao Yu spoke, he walked in and walked to the position where he was standing shoulder to shoulder with the Minister of War of the Southern Kingdom. He put the wine jar on the ground, saluted the emperor first, then turned to the envoys of the Southern Kingdom and said, "I'm really sorry, everyone."
, I really didn’t expect you guys to be really in the palace, so I neglected you, come on, this is the bowl of wine that the commander of the imperial army just went to my house to ask for, I brought it all in a jar."
The Minister of War gave the emperor a meaningful look.
The emperor almost vomited blood on the spot at this sight. He slapped the table and said to Xiao Yu: "You are too careless. I will leave the winery to you. Since the winery produces such delicious wine, yesterday
Why don't you take it out to entertain the distinguished guests?"
The emperor stared at Xiao Yu.
That way, if Xiao Yu dared not to give him face on the spot, he would eat Xiao Yu on the spot.
Xiao Yu was taken aback for a moment, and the shock was very obvious, "His Majesty's winery?"
A mouthful of blood rushed to the emperor's throat.
Xiao Yu followed Xiao Yu and said: "Yes, yes, it is your Majesty's winery. It is your Majesty's winery. I am guilty and I did not treat you well."
The emperor swallowed back the blood that came from his mouth.
Xiao Yu looked at the emperor's face, turned to the Minister of War and said, "If this wine can be liked by you, it will be a blessing for this wine."
The Minister of War did not want to expose the mystery between the emperor and Xiao Yu, so he only said: "Since the wine has been delivered, can I taste it now?"
Xiao Yu's cooperation made the emperor relieved, and his face looked much better, "Of course."
The chief chamberlain immediately came forward with a silver wine glass, opened the wine jar, poured a pot into the silver wine jug, and then gave each of the Southern envoys present a cup.
