CHAPTER 93 - Chapter 93 Wine!
In the courtyard!
Xia Chen chatted with Princess Pingyang, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.
"Princess, how about you try my special wine?"
Xia Chen said with a smile, both of them were extremely charming. Although there was a maid in white in the room, she had already stood in the corner, as if blending into the shadows.
The two of them were chatting as if they were alone in the room. Although they were just chatting, Xia Chen felt like he was on the road of confrontation.
The beauty of nature is definitely not just talk!
Princess Pingyang felt that she was in a better mood and happier when she was with Xia Chen than before.
She had no distracting thoughts in her mind, nor the usual intrigues in the court. This feeling made her feel very comfortable, and it made her want to stay with Xia Chen forever!
She looked at Xia Chen with more emotion than at the beginning, but her rationality was suppressing it...
"Okay! I've long been tired of drinking the fine wines of the world, I want to see how good your heavenly wine is!"
Princess Pingyang's beautiful eyes were full of smiles. With the Jade Fairy Tea in front of her, she was completely looking forward to this.
It must be extraordinary to be valued so much by Xia Chen.
Soon a maid came up with a jar of beautifully packaged wine, which weighed two kilograms!
"High Grade Jade Wine, I want to sell this jar for 5,000 taels, I'll treat the princess to a drink today!"
Xia Chen poured the wine himself again and introduced it to Princess Pingyang with a smile.
"5,000 taels? Could this jar of wine be made of gold?"
Princess Pingyang smiled, but the price of the wine didn’t intimidate her. She believed that the best wine in the capital came from Yuxuan, known as the Imperial Wine. The finest wine cost only two thousand taels per jar, and each jar weighed five kilograms.
"Princess, you will know after you drink it!"
Xia Chen smiled and opened the lid of the wine, and immediately a strong aroma of wine wafted through the room.
Princess Pingyang slightly raised her nose, first catching a light, sweet fruity aroma dancing at its tip,like ripe fruit. Then came the rich and smooth scent of aged wine, as if the charm of time had settled within it. It was full-bodied, yet still graceful. The subtle layers of its fragrance awakened her senses, intoxicating enough to make one feel drunk from the scent alone.
“Good wine!”
Princess Pingyang's eyes were bright as she stared closely at the wine in Xia Chen's hand, somewhat impatient to taste it.
Xia Chen smiled gently, then picked up the wine glass, picked up the jar and poured a glass for Princess Pingyang.
The jasper-colored wine poured down the edge of the jar into the wine glass, and the aroma of the wine in the room suddenly became richer.
"Princess, please!"
Princess Pingyang picked up the wine glass and slowly put it into her red lips.
Suddenly, a rich aroma exploded on Princess Pingyang's taste buds. At the same time, she felt as if the liquid in her mouth melted in her mouth, turning into strands of energy that flowed into her limbs.
For a moment, Princess Pingyang felt like she was under the warm sun in winter. Her thoughts worked faster than usual, and she had a more thorough understanding of some techniques.
"This is a very good wine, and it seems to be good for cultivation as well!"
Princess Pingyang opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes shining, and looked at Xia Chen.
"That's right. This kind of wine is extremely beneficial for cultivation, especially for sorcerers and those who want to attain enlightenment. It has great benefits."
Xia Chen smiled. The jasper wine sold in the Heavenly Residence was made by mixing the jasper wine Xia Chen exchanged from the system mall with other alcoholic beverages.
The low-grade jade wine sold on the first and second floors is exchanged at a ratio of 1:1000.
One pound of pure Jade Wine is equivalent to 1,000 pounds of ordinary wine, while the Middle Grade Jade Wine sold on the third and fourth floors is exchanged at a ratio of 1 to 100.
This High Grade Jasper Wine has a ratio of one to ten. Although it is not as good as the pure Jasper Wine, its aroma and medicinal properties have surpassed the finest wines in the world.
The reason for adopting this method is that there is no other way. Xia Chen has not yet obtained the recipe of Jade Wine from the system mall. If he sells pure Jade Wine, the output will not be that large.
Even if they use the method of mixing with ordinary wine and water now, Tianshangju has to limit the quantity.
Low-grade Jasper Wine, a pound of wine, is sold at most 50 bottles a day, Middle-grade Jasper Wine is sold at most 10 bottles a day, and as for High-grade Jasper Wine, only 1 bottles a day are sold.
A jar...
“Good wine!”
Princess Pingyang drank it all again. Her pink cheeks turned slightly red. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether it was because of the alcohol or the drug.
She sipped cup after cup, and her beautiful eyes became more and more blurred.
"Princess, drink slowly. I'll have someone serve you food!"
Xia Chen glanced at the direction of the sun outside. It was almost time for dinner. He estimated that most of the people he had invited would be here, so he decided to get up.
"What about you!"
As soon as Xia Chen stood up, Princess Pingyang boldly grabbed Xia Chen's hand.
"You drink with me~!"
Princess Pingyang had a dazed look in her eyes and spoke in a coquettish and charming voice, as if she was acting like a spoiled child.
The maid in white who had been standing in the corner pretending to be invisible was startled when she saw this scene. She wanted to step forward, but stopped.
She didn't expect that the princess today was so different from usual... and this was Princess Yaoguang's fiancé...
"Princess, I have something else to do today. I will go down to attract guests later. How about I accompany you for a drink another day?"
Xia Chen smiled, naturally held Princess Pingyang's smooth and delicate jade hand, then gently squeezed it open and broke free.
"Well, come to my house in a few days, bring this wine and we'll drink it!"
Princess Pingyang was like an obedient child, with a happy and bright smile on her face, as beautiful as a flower!
......
"Sir, the Crown Prince has arrived, and the Third Prince, his carriage has also appeared on Yongle Street, and in addition, the carriage of Prime Minister Lin's family has also appeared!"
As soon as Xia Chen came down from the sixth floor, Lu Chen came to Xia Chen and whispered.
"It's interesting, everyone is here!"
Xia Chen smiled.
"Your Excellency is young and yet holds a high position. The Crown Prince and the Third Prince must be trying to win you over!"
Xu Xingchen on the side said with a smile.
"Maybe they are here to seek revenge. We executed one of their people a few days ago!"
Xia Chen said jokingly, but he also knew that the possibility was not high.
As Xia Chen spoke, he walked out of Tianshangju to greet the so-called crown prince and the third prince.
Soon, the two carriages drove over together, not giving way to each other.
"I pay my respects to the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Third Prince!"
Before anyone got off the carriage, Xia Chen shouted loudly outside the carriage.
There were still a large number of people watching at the entrance of Tianshangju.
"The owner behind this restaurant is so powerful that even the Crown Prince and the Third Prince are here!"
"Not only that, Princess Pingyang had already gone in!"
"You don't know this? The person behind Tianshangju is Lantern Man Director Xia Chen!"
......
The crowd whispered and told each other their gossip.
