"Very well, today I will obey my beloved consort."
Qin Yu gently stroked Sima Jing's pert little nose and then released her.
It's not that Qin Yu is showing mercy today.
However, Sima Jing's initiative to come to him today must have had some purpose.
In that case, it wouldn't hurt to figure out her purpose before doing anything.
"Your Majesty, I thank you!"
Sima Jing curtsied and then instructed the servants outside to bring in the prepared wine.
After pouring two glasses, Sima Jing sat in Qin Yu's lap.
"Come, Your Majesty, let me offer you a toast."
Sima Jingyu lightly traced her finger across Qin Yu's neck, then downed the wine in her cup in one gulp.
After finishing her drink, she picked up another cup and brought it to Qin Yu's lips.
"Your Majesty, it's your turn!"
Qin Yu nodded and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.
As the wine went down his throat, Qin Yu frowned slightly.
But he didn't say anything; only his restless hands roamed over Sima Jing's body.
Sima Jing responded to Qin Yu with a charming smile, then refilled her glass and drank a toast with him.
However, just as she was about to offer a third cup, Qin Yu pushed her away.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty? Is there something I did that displeased you?"
Seeing that Qin Yu had actually rejected her, Sima Jing quickly asked.
Could it be that the tyrannical ruler has grown tired of me?
Qin Yu shook his head.
"No, this wine tastes bland, I won't drink it."
As Qin Yu spoke, he put down the wine glass in Sima Jing's hand.
In fact, he had long been dissatisfied with the wine in the palace.
Having grown accustomed to all kinds of strong liquor in the 21st century, drinking this kind of watery liquor was torture for him.
This wine not only has no flavor, but it also doesn't smell good.
"ah?"
Sima Jing was taken aback.
She thought the tyrant had grown tired of her, but it turned out he simply didn't like the wine.
However, this wine is a tribute to the emperor, and you can't find a better-tasting wine in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.
This tyrant is clearly just picking on her!
"Your Majesty, you don't mean to think I'm not good enough, do you? This imperial tribute of aged wine was your favorite drink before."
Sima Jing leaned close to Qin Yu's body and said with a "wronged" expression.
"My beloved concubine, how could I possibly dislike you? But this wine is truly unacceptable."
Qin Yu quickly put his arm around Sima Jing and comforted her.
But Sima Jing still looked aggrieved.
"Your Majesty, this is already the best wine in the world, how could it be bad?"
Seeing that Sima Jing still didn't believe him despite his attempts to comfort her, Qin Yu couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
But soon, Qin Yu's eyes lit up and he came up with a solution.
"My beloved concubine, this wine is not the best in the world. I have a wine that is a hundred times better than this one!"
Upon hearing this, Sima Jing forgot to pretend to be aggrieved and immediately looked at Qin Yu with a surprised expression.
"Your Majesty, such a divine wine exists in this world?!"
Qin Yu smiled slightly, and then called An Fu in.
He then quickly drew a design on the paper, which looked like a large wooden steamer, except that there was a tube inserted in the middle of the steamer.
"Take this design to the Craftsmen's Office and order them to make it for me as soon as possible. Then put it on the fire and bring ten jars of fine wine over."
Upon hearing Qin Yu's instructions, An Fu couldn't help but curiously look at the design drawings he had made.
But he couldn't make out what the painting depicted at all.
However, knowing that Qin Yu had already created many novel things, he didn't have any further doubts and left with the design drawings.
"Your Majesty, what is that?"
Sima Jing became curious.
"That is the wine I told you about, a hundred times better than this wine."
"Huh? Can that stuff turn into wine?" Sima Jing covered her mouth in surprise.
"That stuff won't turn into wine, but it can turn into good wine."
Qin Yu smiled mysteriously.
He had been so busy with other things that he had forgotten about this powerful weapon.
I'll try to make it tonight. With this, he can not only make a fortune, but it will also be extremely useful on the battlefield.
In the era of cold weapons, at least 70% of soldiers who died in battle did not die from fatal wounds, but from various post-battle infections.
If he succeeds tonight, then when this thing is applied to the battlefield, as long as the injury is not fatal, it can basically save a life.
Not long after, Anfu returned.
"Your Majesty, the things you ordered have been prepared!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu immediately stood up excitedly.
"good."
As he spoke, Qin Yu hurriedly asked An Fu to lead the way, and for a moment he didn't even care about Sima Jing.
The thought of those fine wines he had once drunk filled Qin Yu with excitement.
Seeing Qin Yu's excited expression, Sima Jing's eyes flickered slightly, and she quickly followed.
When they arrived at a courtyard, a fire had already been lit, and next to it were the things that Qin Yu had drawn on the design drawings earlier.
"Alright, now pour the wine into this, and then make the fire burn brightly..."
Qin Yu inspected the still made by the Craftsmen's Office and, seeing that it was almost identical to what he remembered, immediately began to give instructions.
The young eunuch that Anfu brought immediately sprang into action.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
Sima Jing looked at the busy group of people with a face full of doubt.
Qin Yu poured the wine into his container and heated it with fire. Sima Jing really couldn't figure out what he was trying to do.
"My dear consort, you will know in a moment."
Qin Yu smiled slightly, then had a chair brought over and sat down to supervise the work.
Although Sima Jing couldn't understand it, she still watched the group of people busy at work with undiminished eyes.
Before long, drops of wine, which looked much clearer, began to fall from the tube in the middle of the "steamer".
Qin Yu had already instructed people to prepare containers to catch it.
As more and more drops of wine dripped out, an incredibly rich aroma of wine instantly filled the entire courtyard.
"This...this world actually has such a fragrant and delicious wine?!"
Sima Jing took two light sniffs and stood up in disbelief.
Although she doesn't drink much, she has tasted many of the finest wines in the world.
But she had never smelled such a rich and mellow aroma of wine before.
Sima Jing looked at the wine in the barrel and saw that it was as clear as water, unlike the murky wine she had drunk before.
Is this still wine?
Sima Jing couldn't help but become curious.
It's important to know that even the most skilled winemakers can produce cloudy wines. The difference between good and bad wines lies in the degree of cloudiness; the lower the cloudiness, the better the quality of the wine.
The wine before me is so clear and bright; it must be one of the finest wines in the world.
"This is definitely alcohol, but we can't drink it yet."
At this moment, Qin Yu spoke up.
"Why can't I drink this wine? Your Majesty, I want to have a sip right now. Even those who don't like wine are tempted by it."
