The envoys of the Southern Kingdom refused to give in and wanted to take the body of Mrs. Zhenninghou back to the Southern Kingdom and carry a coffin for Qiaoyun.
The emperor had no capital to refute, let alone object. Marquis Zhenning was filled with humiliation and could only swallow it.
Qiaoyun's matter was settled, and then the matter of the wine trade between the two dynasties was settled.
This matter has nothing to do with Marquis Zhenning. From now on, it is Uncle Zhenning. This matter has nothing to do with Uncle Zhenning and the Minister of Punishment. They can only resign.
Coming out of the Imperial Study Room, Zhen Ning Bo gritted his teeth and grabbed the Minister of Punishment, "How did I offend the Minister? You want to put our family to death like this?"
The Minister of Punishment shook off Uncle Zhen Ning's hand and said, "Thank you, it's the uncle, not the marquis. It would be better for Uncle Zhen Ning to recognize his identity as soon as possible, so as not to make people laugh when he loses his dignity.
I will bring your mansion to death?
A Zhenning Bo Mansion is not worthy of my officer’s deliberate efforts here!”
Uncle Zhenning almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
In his smooth life, the emperor would always give him seven points of face when talking to him, but he had never been humiliated like this before.
His face suddenly turned gloomy, "Master Shangshu, do you think that with the support of the eldest princess's palace, you can do whatever you want?"
The Minister of Punishment smiled at him and said, "There is no one who can rely on me, so I can't do anything to be a slave to an uncle. If you still don't want to leave the palace, please feel free to go and complain to Concubine Zhen."
I am very busy. I have to arrange for the Meridian Gate Execution in three days. For such a sensational event, I am afraid that people from all over the country will come to watch.
I have to arrange the order in advance. If someone wants to set off fireworks to celebrate, I have to say hello to the people in the Jingwei camp in advance. Don't let extreme joy lead to sorrow and cause a stampede."
After all, Uncle Zhenning couldn't hold back the mouthful of blood on his chest. He opened his mouth and spit it out.
The Minister of Punishment shook his head, turned around and walked away.
Royal study room.
When Su Luo arrived, there was a lot of laughter in the royal study room, and she couldn't tell that a person's life or death had just been decided here.
"My wife, I kowtow to Your Majesty." Su Luo stepped forward and bowed her knees.
Xiao Yu had already stood up from the chair and met her. When she knelt down, he stood next to her. With the emperor's voice, he helped Su Luo to stand up straight.
The two looked at each other with a tacit smile in their eyes.
The Minister of War said: "I heard that the wine was brewed by Princess Nanhuai herself?"
These words made the emperor lose all face.
He had previously said eloquently that the winery was his, and the wine in the winery was brewed by his people. Even the envoys of the Southern Kingdom wanted to sign a wine contract with him, but something went wrong, and the envoys of the Southern Kingdom wanted to taste it.
A taste of the wine that has just been sealed.
Although it has not yet undergone time of precipitation and fermentation, you can taste it after sealing the altar to see if it is the same thing.
His things were obviously not of Xiao Yu's taste.
The envoy from the Southern Kingdom did not give him any face and turned to look for Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu didn't show any dignity to him and only said that Su Luo was taking care of everything and he was just an errand boy for his wife.
Only then did today's scene take place.
Su Luo smiled generously towards the Minister of War of the Southern Kingdom and said: "I am indeed the one who brewed that jar of wine. I have several more potent ones here that are more potent than that jar of wine. I wonder if some of the adults are interested."
An envoy from the Southern Kingdom next to the Minister of War suddenly looked surprised, "There is something stronger? And it tastes so good?"
Su Luo smiled gently, but the sparkling figure in her eyes showed confidence and pride.
"I can't say anything about the taste. You have to taste it to know. It happened that when I came here today, I brought two jars. One jar is exactly the same as the previous jar. The other jar, I say
It’s distilled liquor, so it should be stronger.”
"Distilled liquor?" The Minister of War said with eagerness on his face, "Since I brought it, of course I have to taste it."
Su Luo looked towards the emperor.
This inquiring look almost moved the emperor to tears.
This is the first respectful look he has received today!
But it happened to be from Su Luo.
"Bring it in quickly." The emperor raised his hand and ordered.
Immediately, the head butler brought in two sealed jars of wine from outside, along with several silver wine glasses brought in by the little butler on an ebony tray.
Su Luo smiled and said: "Actually, it will taste better if you use a wooden cup or a jade cup. However, you can use whatever you like. Let's open the jar first."
As Su Luo spoke, she stretched out her hand to lift the seal on the wine jar.
The slender hands are deft and skillful, and as soon as the seal is opened, the aroma of wine is immediately released.
"This is what it tastes like!"
“This is what it really tastes like!”
“It’s a world of difference!”
The envoys from the Southern Kingdom simply threw the emperor's face to the ground and trampled on him.
Xiao Yu didn't answer a word, was neither modest nor willing to give in. We accepted all these wonderful things for Su Luo.
The emperor almost died suddenly after hearing this.
He may be angry for the rest of his life today.
Xiao Yu: ...Are you kidding? It lasts for a lifetime, and luck is behind you!
The chief chamberlain held up the wine jar and gave each of the envoys from the Southern Kingdom a cup. Finally, it was returned to the emperor and he was also given a cup.
Xiao Yu and Su Luo waved their hands together, indicating that they didn't need it.
"How?" Su Luo asked, but her tone was confident.
The Minister of War said: "I'm not afraid of Princess Nanhuai laughing at me because I haven't seen the world. This wine is indeed the best wine we have ever drunk. To be honest with the princess, we also ordered some drinks from His Majesty before, but the taste
It’s completely incomparable, but it’s said that the prescriptions are the same?”
Emperor:...I really thank you!
Can't you go out and ask again?
Isn't it okay to give me, as an emperor, a little bit of face, just a little bit of face?
The emperor looked at Su Luo helplessly.
Su Luo smiled and said: "The recipe is indeed the same recipe, but the taste is different. That's because the koji is different. I can share the recipe with everyone, but the koji is a memory left by my mother to me. This is what Your Majesty and everyone
Please forgive me for not being able to share."
"Did your mother develop the koji herself? In other words, your mother is better at making wine than you? Then you can ask her..."
Su Luo calmly interrupted the words of the Minister of War, "I'm sorry, my mother passed away five years ago, which is why I cherish the things she left me so much, because apart from these, my mother never left me any more thoughts.
Object."
The Minister of War suddenly looked regretful and apologetic, "I'm really sorry."
Su Luo smiled and said: "It's okay. You can ask this, which shows that you value my mother's craftsmanship. It's my honor. Let's try this distilled wine?"
