Chapter 216 This wine is disgusting.
The governor of Xuzhou was nearly fifty years old, but he was very well-preserved and looked only in his early forties.
Because he was there to meet a wealthy businessman, and was on a pleasure boat, he was dressed like a green peacock.
The flower boat was enormous, and its interior was luxuriously decorated, with no hint of modesty whatsoever.
It's already June, and the weather is starting to get hot.
But as soon as you step into the flower boat, the cool air that hits you is refreshing and invigorating.
[Holy crap, it's only June, not even unbearably hot yet, and they've already put so much ice in here!!!]
The governor of Xuzhou, who was sitting in the first seat watching the dance, stopped drinking.
Who has the audacity to speak up so directly?
He angrily poured the wine from his glass onto the ground, tossed it aside, and walked barefoot toward the old emperor.
The old emperor, with his hands behind his back, was casually surveying the pleasure boat.
It would cost at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.
That's truly extravagant beyond measure.
"This gentleman has quite a personality."
The governor of Xuzhou waited for a long time but the other party did not bow to him, and his displeasure grew stronger.
The old emperor did not answer directly, but looked at the pleasure boat and said, "This boat must have cost a lot of money."
"It's natural."
The governor of Xuzhou was most satisfied with the ship he had built at great expense.
"This gentleman truly knows his stuff."
Because the old emperor was discerning, the governor of Xuzhou decided that he could forgive the man's earlier rudeness.
"Someone, bring wine to everyone."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of women dressed in very thin clothes walked over, looking like celestial beings, carrying wine.
The wine had a reddish hue, and the governor of Xuzhou seemed quite satisfied with it.
"This wine of mine can't be sold anywhere outside this pleasure boat."
Shen Zhiyi blinked as she looked at the wine in the old emperor's hand.
[Tsk tsk tsk, the governor of Xuzhou is offering wine to the emperor, a complete reversal of the celestial order.]
After finishing writing, she hesitated for a moment and then added a sentence to the daily record.
This wine is disgusting.
The old emperor's eyebrows twitched.
This was the first time he had ever heard someone describe alcohol as "disgusting."
The governor of Xuzhou couldn't help but scratch his ear.
He looked at the people in front of him carefully again, and not one of them had their mouth open.
what's going on?
[That governor of Xuzhou is truly disgusting. If the old emperor drinks this wine, he'll be set for life.]
The governor of Xuzhou was dumbfounded.
What old emperor?
Are you referring to His Majesty?
His Majesty should still be in Yunzhou right now.
The governor of Xuzhou looked at the old emperor, who in turn looked at the wine in his hand.
This wine has menstrual blood in it, unbelievable.
[And everything edible on this ship has menstrual blood on it. Holy crap, this governor of Xuzhou is a complete pervert.]
Shen Zhiyi made no attempt to hide her disgust and silently moved back a little.
The old emperor was shocked, and the wine glass slipped from his hand and fell onto the carpet.
The courtiers who followed couldn't help but pinch their noses.
I don't know why, but Shen Zhiyi's words gave me a feeling of bloodshed.
These local officials are all so ruthless.
This single governor of Xuzhou single-handedly defeated all the officials in the capital.
"master."
When Chen Decai saw that the old emperor's hands were stained with wine, he quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe them clean.
At this moment, the old emperor's face could only be described as extremely ugly.
He took a deep breath, looked at the other person's stunned expression, and smiled.
well.
very good.
Once the governor of Xuzhou learns that the person before him is the old emperor, he will surely pay the price for his actions today. How dare he offer such wine to the emperor? He really has a death wish.
The governor of Xuzhou began to sweat profusely.
He hurriedly explained, "This wine is excellent; I never lie."
Seemingly afraid that the old emperor opposite him wouldn't believe him, he drank the wine in front of everyone.
【yue. 】
The court officials present said: Shen Zhiyi, don't make a promise yet, they want to make one too.
"It really tastes good, I'm not kidding you."
The old emperor's face was no longer black, but white.
"Moreover, if you drink this wine for a long time, you can prolong your life and stay young forever. Look, I am already fifty years old, but I look like I am only in my early forties. This is all because I eat things made from menstrual blood."
“I am a living example myself. I got this folk remedy from a highly respected Taoist priest, and it cost me a whole thousand taels of silver.”
"Although it hurt to spend the money, the results were very significant."
[Idiot, what kind of highly respected Taoist master is he? He's just a village thug.]
The governor of Xuzhou took a deep breath.
What does that voice know? It doesn't know whether it's real or fake.
His current situation is the best example.
The folk remedy he bought at great expense was genuine.
This folk remedy was genuine, which is why he didn't even tell the old emperor.
How could someone so incompetent as the governor of Xuzhou be appointed as the governor of a province?
Old Emperor: I'd love to know too!
He glanced silently at the newly appointed Minister of Personnel, who had remained silent throughout.
The newly appointed Minister of Personnel shrugged.
This has nothing to do with him; it was all done by his ex's ex's ex's ex.
The reason I look like I'm in my early forties is because power and money are like super tonics.
Look at these men standing at the pinnacle of power in Da Ye; they all look significantly younger than their peers from ordinary families.
Shen Zhiyi looked at the governor of Xuzhou with utter disdain.
Stupid, wicked, and disgusting.
The governor of Xuzhou's legs went weak, and he immediately knelt down on the spot.
The old emperor sneered, "The governor really did perform a great salute."
"No, I dare not."
My legs are so weak, I can't stand up.
All he knew was that he was finished.
Whose voice was that? It was like seeing a ghost.
The old emperor stopped looking at the governor of Xuzhou and walked towards the seat at the head of the table.
Shen Zhiyi's eyes widened.
Would you like a seat?
The old emperor paused in his steps.
Are you sure you want to sit here?
The old emperor was stuck in a limbo.
Shen Zhiyi, you'd better give me a straight answer. What's wrong with this chair?
Upon seeing this, the governor of Xuzhou rushed over.
He was a smooth talker; since the old emperor didn't reveal his identity, he pretended not to know.
"Sir, this chair is a fine piece of furniture."
The old emperor's eyes twitched.
I don't quite believe it.
"It can also prolong life. I even sleep on it at night. If there were enough materials, I would love to make it into a big bed."
[What material? A woman's first menstrual period?]
The old emperor's foot trembled.
This chair is not meant to be sat on.
The eighth princess frowned, unable to hold back any longer.
"You... um."
Chen Decai quickly pressed down the Eighth Princess's voice.
"Shhh."
My princess, we don't know anything yet.
The Eighth Princess angrily pulled Chen Decai's hand away and ran straight to the deck outside.
"Ahhh, Eighth Princess, please take me with you!"
Ugh, I don't like those flower boats anymore.
