Su Tang made three identical cakes, each of which read: Happy Birthday, Long Live the Emperor, May the whole family be happy.
When the emperor celebrated his birthday, Su Tang gave a gift of Longquan ink pad. On the same day, he also gave it to the prince, Xin, the old prince and her father. The emperor was very jealous. She wanted to let the emperor know that the prince had received the Longquan ink pad from her on his birthday. She also
On his birthday, the emperor knew that he would probably be angry if he gave her fine wine and cake. To be safe, Su Tang could only treat everyone equally.
Chen Qing was asked to deliver the cake and wine to the palace, while Xie Boting personally delivered the portion for the emperor to the palace and handed it over to the emperor.
Half an hour later, the cake and two jars of wine were placed on the Emperor's Dragon Table.
The emperor looked at the cake he had never seen before and said, "Is this thanks to your father, King Jingnan?"
Xie Boting twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "My father asked the emperor for his blessing. When I celebrated my birthday, my wife also made cakes. When the emperor celebrated his birthday, my wife started to prepare the Longquan ink clay."
This was quite pleasant, and the emperor was in a better mood.
The emperor doesn't like sweets very much. He prefers drinking wine. He wanted to know what kind of wine Su Tang presented to him.
When I opened the wine jar, I could smell the aroma of wine.
The emperor drank countless good wines, but this wine
Familiar, yet unfamiliar.
The emperor picked up the wine jar and took a sip before Eunuch Yuan even took out the silver needle.
Eunuch Yuan, "..."
Everything imported by the emperor must be tested for poison first. This is a rule set by our ancestors.
The Emperor trusts the Crown Princess, but he must always follow the rules.
“Good wine!”
The emperor was full of praise.
Putting down the wine jar, the emperor asked Xie Boting, "What kind of wine is this? It tastes like Ner'er Red, but it is much more mellow and sweet than Ner'er Red."
Xie Boting said, "This is Nuer Hong."
The emperor smiled and said, "How can this be Nuerhong?"
Xie Boting replied, "My wife bought the ready-made daughter's red wine and purified the wine to remove the impurities in the wine."
emperor,"......"
Is this okay?
The black line on the emperor's forehead slid downwards.
After one sip was not satisfying, the emperor took another sip and said, "Although I didn't brew it myself, the purified wine is really good. Send me more later."
After a pause, the emperor ordered Duke Yuan to be fair, "Ask the Royal Study Room to send ten jars of various fine wines to the Jingnan Prince's Mansion."
Su Tang was exhausted after purifying more than a dozen jars of wine. If he sent so much, his wife would not be tired to death.
If you drink so much wine, your father and the officials may misunderstand that it is a reward for your father, and the purified wine is strong and has strong stamina, making you easily drunk, so it is not advisable to drink too much."
The emperor said, "I will give you ten jars of fine wine from King Jingnan."
Eunuch Yuan responded.
The emperor then said to Xie Boting, "This purified wine is really good. Let Tang'er open a wine shop and I will be a part of it."
Xie Boting, "..."
Before, Prince Xin'an and others urged his wife to open a shop, but now the emperor is urging her again.
Except for Jinshangxiang, all other shops were forced to open.
Xie Boting entered the palace carrying a food box and two jars of wine. When he left the palace, he pulled a whole carriage full of wine. After returning to the palace, he asked the servant to move directly to the prince's study.
The prince was writing a memorial, and when he saw Xie Boting bringing in so much wine, he asked, "What are you bringing so much wine for?"
"The emperor rewards my father," Xie Boting said.
The prince was surprised.
Although today is his birthday, the emperor will not remember such a trivial matter. How could he suddenly reward him with so much wine? This chapter has been completed!
