The Secretary of the Ministry of War raised his head and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp. He placed his cup on the table next to him and looked at Su Luo with burning eyes.
With a smile on her lips, Su Luo stretched out her hand to unseal another jar of wine.
As the lid was opened, the strong aroma of wine suddenly filled the entire imperial study. Not to mention the Southern envoys were amazed by the aroma of the wine, and even the emperor was shocked.
The wine was strong and strong but still smelled mellow. He had never tasted such wine.
Su Luo carried the wine jar and gave each bowl to the envoys from the Southern Kingdom. Finally, she said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this wine is strong. The people in my court may not be able to drink it. I'm afraid they won't be able to help themselves after drinking it."
Does this mean not giving him a drink?
The emperor's neck was stretched out, so he wasn't given a drink?
Why!
Suddenly a feeling of grievance emerged from his heart, and the emperor said: "Give it to me!"
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "I will pour some wine for Your Majesty."
After lifting the wine jar, Xiao Yu stepped forward and poured half a cup for the emperor.
Several envoys from the Southern Kingdom first brought the wine to their noses and sniffed it, enjoying it with their eyes closed. When they had smelled enough, they couldn't wait to put the wine down their throats.
Distilled liquor is more potent, and the overbearing feeling after entering the mouth makes people feel numb and energetic. At first, it feels spicy and strong, but with the aroma of alcohol, it makes people want to stop and have endless aftertaste.
“Good wine!”
“This is a really good wine!”
"I have been drinking wine for half my life, but it was all in vain. There is such a delicious wine in this world."
"Princess, do you have any more? Have another bowl!"
Several southern envoys had enthusiasm in their eyes, and their excitement was hundreds of times stronger than the jar of wine they had just drank.
Su Luo pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, the alcohol content of this wine is low, and there is only half a jar in total. It was because I knew that several adults and Princess Yunshu were coming, so I brewed it in advance. No more would be available.
.”
The envoys from the Southern Kingdom suddenly looked disappointed.
"We want to sign this wine order. In addition, we also hope that Princess Nanhuai can spare no effort to brew a few jars as soon as possible. Let us send them back to our Majesty first, so that our Majesty can also taste this fine wine."
"Okay." Su Luo smiled.
Xiao Yu said from the side: "I have told several adults before that if we signed a drink order directly with me at that time, we would have the same price. If we sign it now, it will be a different price."
The emperor's face was red and his eyes were half blurred. He raised his finger and pointed at Xiao Yu, "How outrageous! Is it really okay to say this in front of me? Can't you go out and say it? Anyway, your business of signing wine orders is no longer there.
You took me to play, why did you say it in front of me, why!"
Xiao Yu:......
Envoy from the Southern Kingdom:......
Shocked, he turned his head to look at the emperor with his tongue hanging out.
Chamberlain:......
Suffer!
This is too much to drink!
The interior manager hurriedly stepped forward and said to Xiao Yu: "Why don't the King of Nanhuai leave the palace with a few envoys first and go to the post house or the eldest princess's palace to discuss it."
"Don't leave, no one is allowed to leave. I'm not drunk. I can drink again. Come on, fill it up!" The emperor pushed the steward away, shook his upper body, and suddenly stood up with his hand on the table and raised his hand.
Pointing at Xiao Yu, he said, "You have no heart!"
Xiao Yu:......
"You bully me!"
The emperor suddenly hammered his chest.
"My heart hurts and I feel wronged. It's all because of you and your mother. You guys joined forces to bully me! Your mother has liked to bully me since she was a child, and now you follow suit! Why is my life so miserable!"
The emperor fell down on his chair.
He grabbed the wine cup in front of him and drank it in one gulp.
The distilled wine was so strong and strong that the emperor choked and coughed repeatedly, with tears and runny nose running down his face.
Envoy from the Southern Kingdom:......
You really don’t treat us as outsiders!
The Minister of War looked at the drunken emperor in disbelief and started to cry while holding the empty wine bowl. He said to Xiao Yu with a troubled look on his face: "Your Majesty, shall we go out to talk?"
Xiao Yu had an apologetic smile on his face, "I made several adults laugh. Only a man from your noble dynasty can handle such a strong drink!"
After saying this, several envoys from the Southern Kingdom were very happy.
The emperor was crying. When he saw Xiao Yu leading someone to leave, he stood up and walked around the table. While crying, he stopped him from leaving. "No one is allowed to leave. No one is allowed to leave today. Drink, drink for me! I'm not drunk."
,No!"
The head chamberlain had no choice but to risk his life, raised his hand, hugged the emperor's waist, and said to Xiao Yu: "Your Majesty, hurry up!"
...
After coming out of the royal study, Xiao Yu turned to the young chamberlain and said, "Go and invite Her Royal Highness the Princess to come out."
The eldest princess was imprisoned in the cold palace by the emperor's personal order. Without the emperor's order, no servant would dare to let her go without her head.
Xiao Yu looked at the little chamberlain, his slightly drooped eyelids filled with a sense of unscrupulousness, "If we don't let him go today, tomorrow everyone in Kyoto will know that Your Majesty drank too much, and by then, I will
He said it was you who spread the word."
The waiter's eyes widened for a moment, his knees softened in shock, and he knelt down with an expression on his face that said, "This is not a small thing to do."
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Go and invite someone. When Your Majesty asks tomorrow, I will tell you that it was His Majesty's order. When the time comes, if you don't tell me and I don't tell you, will anyone else tell you?"
Next to him, the Minister of the Ministry of War of the Southern Kingdom laughed and said: "Of course it was your Majesty's personal order, and we heard it with our own ears."
Waiter:......
The little chamberlain who was watching the meal next to him said: ...paused, and said neatly: "Of course it was your Majesty's personal order, and the servants heard it with their own ears."
Waiter:......
The eldest princess was imprisoned in the cold palace for a few days. Because of her special status and Xiao Yu's extra care, she did not suffer any injustice. As soon as she was taken out, she took Su Luo back to the eldest princess' mansion first, and Xiao Yu followed.
The envoy from the Southern Kingdom went to the post house.
"Two kinds of wine, the first one, the price I gave you before was one tael, five hundred silver per jar, the current price is five taels of silver per jar."
The Minister of War suddenly blew his beard and glared, "Why don't you grab five taels of silver?"
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "I thought you knew that I was robbing you."
The face of the Minister of War turned dark. "The King of Nanhuai is going too far. We sincerely want to cooperate with your dynasty, and the price you are asking is too high."
Xiao Yu said: "There is no way, our food is good, even my Majesty can't make the same drinks to satisfy you, then wherever you look, we are unique. Since we are unique, it is worth the price.
.
As for distilled wine, I have also said that the process of distilled wine is complicated, so it will be more expensive. It costs ten taels of silver per jar. If your dynasty is willing, we can sign the contract now."
