Chapter 214: White Wine From the Northern Palace
At this time, Chu Qingli was filled with resentment towards a certain bad person. If that bad person hadn't left so many scars on her body, how could she have lied that these scars were caused by a maniac?
The key is that the bad guy obviously has a way to remove these scars, but he just doesn't help himself to remove them. He insists on leaving these scars, as if he is his property and he stamps his stamp on himself.
There was no way, Chu Qingli had no choice but to say at this time: "Okay, then I will rest for a while."
Seeing that Chu Qingli agreed, Chu Yuqin immediately said: "Qingli, sister told you last time that you are an assassin and you used to travel around a lot, so you are not suitable for staying in one place all the time."
"You've been practicing martial arts a lot during this period and have gone crazy. I'm afraid it has something to do with the fact that you've been staying in Beiwang Mansion.
"Why don't you take advantage of your rest time to leave Beiwang Mansion, go out for a walk, and relax your mind. Maybe when you come back, you won't go crazy when practicing."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qingli immediately said: "No need."
She also planned to complete the deal with Lu Chen quickly, and then save her sister and leave the North Prince's Mansion. How could she leave the North Prince's Mansion at this time? How could she deal with Lu Chen if she left the North Prince's Mansion.
At this time, Chu Qingli suddenly thought of something. She stared at Chu Yuqin's flawless face, and then asked suspiciously: "Sister, are you planning to get rid of me and then do something with that lustful person?" What's going on?"
Chu Qingli herself often made excuses to send Chu Yuqin away and then deal with Lu Chen, so she was very sensitive to this kind of thing.
Chu Yuqin said with a guilty conscience at this time: "Qingli, do you think my sister is the kind of shameless person?"
Chu Qingli said: "Why does the elder sister always want to drive the younger sister away?"
Chu Yuqin said in an angry tone: "What do you mean by driving you away? Sister, this is for your own good. Why don't you call me sister? How can I bear to see you hurt?"
Hearing this, Chu Qingli thought in her heart: I'm sorry sister, for you, I can't leave Beiwang Mansion now no matter what.
Thinking of this, Chu Qingli said: "Sister, I will not leave Beiwang Mansion unless sister leaves Beiwang Mansion with me. I don't feel comfortable leaving my sister alone in Beiwang Mansion."
Seeing how stubborn Chu Qingli was, Chu Yuqin felt helpless. Just as she thought, Chu Qingli would never leave Beiwang Mansion.
If Chu Qingli had not left Beiwang Mansion, would she have been delaying her promise to Lu Chen? What will Lu Chen think of himself then? Would he think that he was just using Chu Qingli as an excuse to not serve him?
Chu Yuqin sighed deeply, and then said: "Forget it, no matter how much my sister tells you, you won't listen."
Chu Yuqin didn't plan to continue persuading her. She didn't know how many times she had persuaded Chu Qingli. Chu Qingli just refused to leave Beiwang Mansion. She even wondered if Chu Qingli had another purpose in staying in Beiwang Mansion. .
To get Chu Qingli to leave the North Palace, Lu Chen still had to find a way. Lu Chen could use the prince's power to directly transfer Chu Qingli away from the North Palace. In this way, she would have the opportunity to serve Lu Chen.
She had already told Lu Chen about this matter. It would depend on what Lu Chen would do next. It would be best if she could transfer Chu Qingli to a place where she would not be able to return to the palace for a few hours. In this way, she would have enough energy. Time helped Lu Chen relax.
Thinking of this, Chu Yuqin's pretty face became extremely hot. She was indeed a shameless woman. In order to steal something from a man, she also tried every means to drive her sister out of the North Prince's Mansion.
…
At this moment.
Umrah has ended.
Lu Chen came out of the Council Hall and was about to go back to the study. A maid from the inner courtyard came to Lu Chen and said, "My lord, the princess asked you to go to the inner courtyard when you are free. The sorghum wine has been brewed."
Hearing this, Lu Chen felt happy and immediately said, "I will go over right now."
Then Lu Chen hurried to the inner courtyard of the palace.
In the main hall, Lu Chen's wives and concubines were discussing something around a half-meter-high wine jar.
Soon Lu Chen entered the hall.
Seeing Lu Chen coming back, Xiao Wenyao and Yelu Nanyan immediately moved out of the way.
Lu Chen came to the wine jar, looked at the clear white wine in the wine jar, smelled the strong aroma of wine in the air, and then said, "It is indeed strong enough!"
At this time, Mu Zixuan, who had a bulging belly, smiled and said: "Your Majesty, with this wine, the palace will have another profitable industry. From now on, the palace's treasury may not be able to hold any money."
Hearing Mu Zixuan's words, Lu Chen smiled, and then said: "That's not the case. The palace's money will be spent soon. I have decided to build a new city. By then, the palace's money may not be enough. ”
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Zixuan was stunned for a moment. She did not expect that Lu Chen would actually build a new city. In this case, all the money earned by the palace would be spent soon.
After all, it was all the money he earned, so Mu Zixuan was still a little reluctant to part with it, but she soon felt relieved.
Money has to be spent when you earn it. If you don't spend it, what's the use of keeping it in the treasury.
This money can be used where it should be used, then it makes sense for her to earn this money.
At this time, Lu Chen picked up a bamboo spoon next to the wine jar, and then scooped a spoonful of white wine from the wine jar. He leaned close to the spoon and continued to smell the wine. While smelling, he asked: "Do you have a bowl? Give me a bowl, let me taste the taste of this wine."
Hearing this, Xiao Wenyao immediately handed over a bowl, "Prince, bowl."
Lu Chen was about to take the bowl from Xiao Wenyao, but Xiao Wenyao's body shook, and Lu Chen's hand grabbed nothing.
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, he turned his head to look at Xiao Wenyao, and then he found that Xiao Wenyao's face was flushed, full of alcohol, and some of her hair was blown up.
This...
Lu Chen smiled and said: "Yaoyao, did you fall into the wine jar?"
Hearing this, Xiao Wenyao said with a drunken face: "Prince...Prince, I just drank a little..."
Speaking of this, Xiao Wenyao's body began to shake again, and at this time Yelu Nanyan on the side hurriedly supported Xiao Wenyao's body.
Lu Chen suddenly found that not only Xiao Wenyao, but also Yelu Nanyan's face was flushed. It was obvious that they had just drunk wine.
At this time, Zhou Youyou covered her mouth and laughed at the side: "Your Majesty, just now Yaoyao and Sister Nanyan said that they came from the grassland and could drink the most. They could not get drunk by drinking any wine, so they drank a bowl in one gulp. I didn't expect that they were drunk in a few breaths."
Hearing Zhou Youyou's words, Lu Chen laughed and then said: "How dare you drink such a strong wine directly?"
The beautiful woman Yelu Nanyan felt extremely ashamed, and her face became even more rosy. She didn't expect that this wine was so strong and had such a strong aftereffect. She hadn't drunk wine for too long in the palace, so she couldn't help smelling such a mellow wine. Who would have thought that this wine was completely different from the grain wine they drank before.
At this time, Xiao Wenyao handed the bowl to Lu Chen again, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, bowl."
Lu Chen took the bowl, then poured the wine in the spoon into the bowl and took a sip gently.
A burning sensation in the throat came up instantly. The alcohol content of this wine was obviously very high. It was better to dilute it. Few people could stand it.
But then again, Lu Chen found that the alcohol would evaporate immediately after entering his stomach, and the alcohol did not enter his blood circulation.
This...
Lu Chen instantly understood what was going on. It was obvious that the body was immune to all poisons.
Alcohol was also regarded as a poison by the body, so as soon as the alcohol entered his stomach, it was directly decomposed, and the alcohol had no effect on him at all.
In other words, no matter how much alcohol he drank in the future, there would be no problem.
Lu Chen didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
The biggest effect of alcohol is actually to paralyze the nerves. As a result, the alcohol he drank did not enter the blood circulation. In the future, he didn't know what it felt like to be drunk.
Seeing Lu Chen take a sip of the wine in front of him, Mu Zixuan asked with concern: "Prince, how do you think it tastes?"
Lu Chen pursed his lips and said: "The alcohol content is relatively high, not suitable for drinking. It is better to dilute it and reduce the alcohol content."
After hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Zixuan said: "I understand. I will tell the winemakers later and ask them to reduce the alcohol content of these wines."
The brewing method of sorghum wine was provided by Lu Chen, so Mu Zixuan has learned a lot of things. Not only her, but now even the winemakers in the palace know what "alcohol content" is. In the past, they only had the terms "strong" and "not strong" when drinking wine, but not the term "alcohol content".
With the term "alcohol content", they can more accurately describe whether a wine is strong or not, and to what extent it can be strong.
After tasting the sorghum wine, Lu Chen returned to the study and began to formulate the examination content for officials.
A few days later.
The sorghum wine launched by the palace was sold out directly, and many caravans came to the Northern Palace to order, and the production orders booked have been scheduled for three or four months later.
In fact, most people in this era are not used to drinking high-proof sorghum wine, but people have a special mentality, that is, I am better than others.
As soon as the sorghum wine of the palace entered the major restaurants, it was regarded as a drinking contest by the customers of the restaurants. The previous rice wine was directly eliminated because the sorghum wine has a higher degree and is easier to get drunk.
Now there is a popular saying in the restaurant that only women drink rice wine, and men should drink the white wine brewed by the Northern Palace.
In the next half month, the Northern Palace did not even have time to name the white wine, and the reputation of the Northern Palace’s white wine quickly spread throughout Daxia and the surrounding dynasties.
When Chu Yuqin found that the white wine of the Northern Palace was so strong and so easy to get drunk, she had an idea that the white wine of the Northern Palace might give her enough time to serve Lu Chen.
As long as Chu Qingli was drunk, wouldn’t Chu Qingli be unable to keep staring at her?
