To quote a common sentence in a book commentary: two flowers bloom and one branch each. It is said that when Duang was struggling hard to improve his level in the trial illusion, the second prince Karazek was not idle, after he came out of the Count's palace of McNus, he took a note written by Duang himself, accompanied by Barbaloa, went to the Ruhr farm non-stop, and moved a whole two large wooden boxes of cigarettes.

Of course, he didn't smoke it for himself, but - to give gifts.

As the capital of the Bauhinia Empire, the imperial capital is a place with the highest concentration of officials, hundreds of big and small officials, and many imperial relatives who have nothing to do all day long and wait for death.

In fact, according to the current laws and ancestral rules of the Bauhinia Empire, the prince is not allowed to have any personal dealings with the officials below, especially the prince like Karaze, who clearly has no right to inherit the throne, what if they collude with each other to fight for the throne? But Karaze doesn't care about these at all, he can visit the door as much as he wants, and he doesn't carry anyone behind his back, anyway, everyone knows that he is a gentleman with royal blood, a bastard who doesn't understand four or six, colluding with officials to rebel and rebel? Does he have that high IQ?

Even his father Charlie XVI and his royal brother Powell thought so, just half an hour after Kaladze walked into the official residence of the prime minister of the dynasty that night, someone reported the matter to the palace, when His Majesty the emperor Charles XVI was discussing matters with the eldest prince Powell, after hearing this report, Charles XVI did not get angry and did what happened to his second son who broke the rules, but laughed and asked the eldest son Powell: "Guess, what is the second son holding back?" ”

Powell also laughed, he didn't take it to heart, this second brother, who is younger than his son, can toss as much as he wants, he is so virtuous, narrow-minded, naughty and low IQ, just his stunned temper, even if he gives him an invincible army to teach him to rebel, he can't stir up much trouble.

All right!

Compared with many royal families whose suspicions are so serious that father and son kill each other, Charlie XVI and the eldest prince Powell are still very humane, and they are very relieved about this old pimple.

It is possible to cause trouble, it is possible to make trouble, but it is absolutely impossible to collude with officials.

……

Plov, the current Prime Minister of the Bauhinia Empire.

This old man is almost eighty years old this year, his health is not good, he is wheezing every day, although he is still the prime minister in name, but in fact he doesn't worry much about the specific affairs of the empire, in recent years, he has applied for retirement several times, but Charlie XVI is not allowed, the reason is that the old man Plov is a veteran of the four dynasties, and he is the lifelong prime minister of His Majesty the previous emperor, even if he is sick and can't get out of bed, this prime minister position is also his...... To put it bluntly, the empire needs such a respectable old man as a mascot, as long as you live, it is important whether you can go to court or not.

The first gate of the second prince's Kaladze string is here.

Seeing that the second prince came to visit in person, the old prime minister greeted him in person when he was sick, greeted him with a few words of nonsense that was not nutritious, and while walking inside, the old prime minister thought in his heart: "Why did this young master come to my house?" ”

It's no wonder that the old prime minister is too careful, firstly, because the prince is not allowed to visit the minister privately, and secondly, because Kaladze's reputation is too heartbreaking.

He's too noisy, he's a dog and a chicken, as long as he appears, it's not a good thing.

But this time, to the surprise of the old prime minister, after entering the door, Karaze took out two boxes of cigarettes from his arms, and said with a concerned face You are not well, I have been very worried, no, I just got some good things, this is this: cigarettes, you try it, you may cough at the beginning, but after getting used to it, you will know that this thing is good, and you dare not say that you will prolong your life, but you must be refreshed, especially for the elderly like you, is there a fire? Yes, yes, that's all, just light it and pump it in.

The old prime minister has lived for so many years, and it is the first time he has seen such a thing as a cigarette, and he thinks what is this? Isn't it just a little white stick?

However, after all, the second prince is the prince, the son of the emperor, no matter how awesome the prime minister is, he is also a minister, and he is a worker who works for others, not to mention a cigarette, even if it is poison, the prime minister has to weigh and refuse again, besides, no matter how much he is a bastard, his second prince Karaze will not have the courage to poison the prime minister, right?

"Ahem, ahem......"

Karazar himself gave a demonstration, and the Prime Minister picked up a cigarette and lit it, and then this cough, what is this? Why are you so choked? The majestic image accumulated by the prime minister over the years was all destroyed at this moment, snot and tears, it was called an embarrassment, a cough, and the old man was tossed miserably.

However, the second prince of the family said it first, and he was definitely not suitable for it when he first drew it, and then he got used to it.

Well, then hold on a little longer......

The old prime minister closed his eyes and insisted for a while, hey, it's really different, the faint tobacco fragrance is intertwined with a vague smell of red wine into the heart, very comfortable...... Well, it's really comfortable!

I don't know if these cigarettes made by Barbaroa also contain nicotine, anyway, after the prime minister smoked this cigarette, he felt that his body was much lighter than before, and his spirit came up, well, such a good thing hurry up and get another one, Prov was like an ordinary country man, swallowing clouds and spitting smoke there, and said to Karadze: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, this is really a good thing!" ”

Kaladze smiled and said that you are the pillar of the country and the patriarch of the Four Dynasties, I have too late to respect you, where do you dare to fool you with rotten things? I have two packs of cigarettes here, you keep them for smoking, I have something else, I'll come back to see you in a few days...... Oh, by the way, when these cigarettes are finished, you send someone to tell me, and I'll buy them again, and I'll bring them to you.

Plov has been up and down for so many years, who hasn't seen it? What haven't you heard? As soon as Karadze said this, Prov immediately understood seven or eight points in his heart: "Oh, it turned out that he came to me to sell, hehe, what to buy, I'm afraid this is the property of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, right?" ”

Although I understood it in my heart, but Plov didn't say it, first, it was meaningless to say it, and it was easy to offend the second prince, and secondly, after personal practice, Plov really thought that cigarettes were very good, if they weren't too expensive, they could buy some, even if they supported the sale of His Royal Highness the Second Prince......

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, I don't think you should wait for these two boxes to be drawn, how did this thing sell? How about you buy me some more? ”

"What can't I help, I bought it and gave it to you, won't I get it?"

"No, no, no, you must give money!" The old man pointed to it: "The laws of the empire are strict, I have been an official all my life and have never received a courtesy, Your Highness should not want my old man to lose his evening holidays, right?" ”

"Phew, I don't accept gifts for the rest of my life, so what are these two boxes of cigarettes?" Karazek muttered in his heart, but said: "Okay, then I'll buy and sell at the original price, and I can always run an errand for you, right?" Don't talk about giving me money for running errands, you're just throwing me out. ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, Your Royal Highness is sympathetic to me, an old man, how can I be so ignorant?" Prov asked, "Your Highness, tell me, what is the price of this cigarette?" ”

Karadze smiled and held out a finger.

"One gold coin?" Plov gasped, although this thing is really good to smoke, it is not so expensive, right? Second Highness, it's true that my old man takes care of your business, but don't be too dark! The Prime Minister has money, but the money is not blowing in the wind, is the Prime Minister still a clean official......

At this moment, I saw Kaladze shaking his head: "How can it be so expensive!" ”

"How much is that?"

"One silver coin, one box!"
