Chapter 275: The Son is Willing to Try the First Cup
"What is this?" The emperor couldn't sit still.
He had never seen anything in front of him.
A bamboo pipe connects two wooden barrels of different sizes, and on top of them is a pot filled with well water.
Liu Xi was also stunned.
Although he had never made wine himself, he had never seen such a thing needed to make wine.
"Your Majesty, this thing should have been made by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Liu Xi replied in a low voice, but what he got was a white eye from the emperor.
Could the emperor not know that this thing was made by Chen Changfeng?
What he wanted to know was what it was for!
However, although the emperor was curious, he did not ask Chen Changfeng directly.
In the emperor's opinion, whatever this thing is, what he needs to see is that it can actually be made in the end.
Otherwise, these strange things are all rubbish!
The craftsmen who made the wine didn't dare to ask, but Tang Lin couldn't help it, Chen Changfeng used his Tang Lin's head to promise the emperor.
If he can't make good wine, how wronged will he be Tang Lin?
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what is this thing?" Tang Lin pointed to the wooden barrel in front of him and asked cautiously.
He wanted to ask Chen Changfeng if this thing was useful, but he was worried that Chen Changfeng would give him a negative answer.
At this moment, Tang Lin was extremely conflicted in his heart.
"Distiller." Chen Chang didn't reply to say three words, and looked at the craftsman in front of him: "Control the heat." ”
"Stills?" Tang Lin's face was stunned.
He'd never heard of it.
I don't even know what this thing can do!
Chen Changfeng did not explain to Tang Lin that at this moment, under the steaming of the fire, the rich aroma of wine had been atomized.
The entire courtyard was shrouded in a layer of wine mist.
"Well, this wine smells!" The emperor stood up from his chair and looked at Chen Changfeng with more and more disbelief.
Although the emperor did not know how to make wine, there are few people in the world who can match the level of wine appreciation.
Just by smelling the misty aroma of wine, the emperor could already be sure that the wine in this wooden barrel must be the best wine in the world.
I just don't know how far it will be in the end.
"Princess, this mist has a strong aroma of wine, and the wine made by the prince must be a peerless wine." Li Ningshuang was surprised.
Although she doesn't drink alcohol, her master Xu Fuzi often drinks some, and smelling the wine, Li Ningshuang is sure that this wine is definitely better than what his master drinks.
Although Xu Fuzi is only a craftsman, all he drinks in the East Palace is the tribute wine given to him by Chen Changfeng.
Tribute wine is already a good wine, and the wine made by Chen Changfeng today is more mellow than the tribute wine!
Tang Xue'er's nervous expression relaxed slightly, although she believed in Chen Changfeng's ability, she was still a little worried in the end.
What's more, Chen Changfeng, this guy also used Tang Lin's head to promise the emperor.
"The prince's ability is great, and I have always believed in him." Tang Xue'er's cherry lips opened slightly, and there was a smile of adoration on her face.
The corners of Qi Yue's mouth under the light veil next to him were not pursed, and he stared at Chen Changfeng without saying a word.
Even now, she still doesn't believe that Chen Changfeng can really make good wine.
And even if Chen Changfeng brews good wine, it is absolutely impossible to surpass quicksand brewing.
Quicksand brewing, that is brewed by her most respected master and senior brother Qi Yue, how can Chen Changfeng be more powerful than them!
The wine fog in the courtyard was getting bigger and bigger, and the emperor felt his head a little dizzy.
Looking at the barrel, which was still bubbling with weapons, the Emperor wondered if he was drunk.
But the emperor secretly shook his head in his heart, he didn't drink alcohol, where could he get drunk?
Can't you get drunk even if you smoke a little bit of alcohol?
No one spoke in the courtyard anymore, and all eyes were glued to the barrel in front of them.
The fog became thicker and thicker, slowly drifting away from the East Palace.
"Hey, what does it smell like, it's so fragrant!" On the palace road hundreds of meters away from the East Palace, Yao Xiaoren was preparing to come to find the emperor and report on the situation of the imperial examination this morning, when he smelled a strong fragrance.
Next to him were the second prince, the deputy chief examiner of the imperial examination, and Tang Mingren, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.
"It smells like wine, and it's wafting from the direction of the East Palace." Tang Mingren was slightly stunned, and then came back to his senses and smiled.
"Tang Shilang will also talk nonsense, the East Palace is hundreds of meters here, what kind of wine fragrance can spread so far?" The second prince sneered.
He knew that Chen Changfeng was making wine in the East Palace, but the second prince definitely didn't believe that the fragrance of any wine could waft out so far.
Because the second prince has never heard of the fragrance of any wine, he can still smell it from such a distance.
The biggest possibility is that there is a eunuch who secretly drinks next to him.
"But as far as the minister knows, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is making wine, and the minister feels that the fragrance of this wine is the wine made by His Royal Highness the Prince." Tang Mingren didn't give the second prince face at all.
He is Chen Changfeng's father-in-law, if Chen Changfeng has an accident, he Tang Mingren will not think about a good end.
Give the second prince face? That's impossible!
"Hmph, Tang Shilang thinks yes, just as we are going to the East Palace to find my father, just take a look!" The second prince looked displeased, and walked in front of him with a negative attitude.
Tang Mingren sneered, and followed behind with Yao Xiaoren without hurry.
The closer the second prince got closer, the more he felt that something was wrong in his heart.
It's so fragrant!
The closer you get to the East Palace, the more the aroma of wine seems to be poured directly into your head, and people can't help but breathe in the aroma of this wine.
The second prince's heart sank slightly, and he secretly said that Chen Changfeng, this guy can't really brew wine.
Walking into the East Palace, you will see the emperor and others standing in the courtyard in front of you.
Chen Changfeng was holding a small porcelain vase in his hand and was about to hand it to the emperor.
"Father, the imperial examination has ended in the morning, and the sons and daughters have come to report to their father." The second prince spoke in time to attract the emperor's idea.
The Emperor looked back and nodded slightly.
"Sixth brother, this is really free, even the wine is brewed." When the second prince saw Chen Changfeng, he was even a burst of yin and yang.
Chen Changfeng looked at the second prince, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "I can't say it, but it's still easier than the second brother, I heard that the second brother has been shouting the word Yizhou when he sleeps at night recently, and he must be too nervous." ”
"But it's okay, I have handled the affairs of Yizhou for the second brother before, and the second brother can sleep peacefully."
"You!" The second prince's face immediately turned cold.
What Chen Changfeng said was just nonsense, but it was clearly deliberately poking his second prince's wound.
Yizhou was troubled by Chen Changfeng, and he had the heart to kill Chen Changfeng.
"Why should the second brother be anxious, it just so happens that my fine wine has just been brewed, and I am about to dedicate it to my father and the emperor for tasting, but as soon as the wine is served, someone must try the poison first, so why don't you ask the second brother to do it for you?" Chen Changfeng said again.
"Why are you ......" the second prince subconsciously wanted to refuse.
How did he know if Chen Changfeng could drink this wine.
Even if the aroma of wine is pervasive, but no one has tasted it, what should I do if I drink it?
But the second prince didn't dare to refuse directly, and tested the poison for the emperor, which was an opportunity for the emperor to see his loyalty.
The emperor's gaze moved between Chen Changfeng and the second prince, and secretly said that these two people were really at the tip of the needle.
However, it is obvious that the mouth of the second prince is not as strong as Chen Changfeng.
"Tested the poison for his father, the second brother naturally has no complaints, unlike the sixth brother, who has no practical action at all."
"Father, my son is willing to try the first cup." The second prince also wanted to behave well in front of the emperor.
When even dodged the small porcelain bottle from Chen Changfeng's hand.
"Huh-"
Chen Changfeng stretched out his hand to stop it, but the second prince looked at Chen Changfeng indifferently, and without waiting for Chen Changfeng to finish speaking, he lifted the small porcelain bottle and poured it into his mouth.
