Chapter 1469: Half of the Real Gold and Silver
Then, she instructed Zhang Yuanbin," Yuanbin, you must arrange everything in the inn for the next ten days. You must ensure that the Wine Tasting is flawless!"
"Yes!" Zhang Yuanbin responded.

Imperial Study
Yuwen Longyan flipped the invitation in his hand and looked at it a few times. Then, he smiled and said to Lin Yuelan," Wine-tasting banquet? This is strange. Girl, how did you come up with this?"
Lin Yuelan smiled and said," Your Majesty, you know that I specially built a winery for the sake of brewing red wine."
Yuwen Longyan nodded." Yes, but what does this have to do with the winery?"
Lin Yuelan was speechless.
However, she quickly said, "How is the wine tasting unrelated to the winery? You have to know that my winery doesn't only produce red wine now. For example, Peach Blossom Wine, Daughter's Red Wine, Wuliang Ye, Jiannanchun, and so on. There are many more. As you know, I'm a businesswoman now. Since I'm a businesswoman, of course, I want to sell these things. The gathering of the five nations was a good time to promote them. Therefore, I had to take the opportunity to hold a banquet!"
Yuwen Longyan was stunned when he heard Lin Yuelan introduce the wine that he had never heard of before. Then, he scolded her with a smile," You little girl, why didn't you let me have a taste of so much wine? How could you show your filial piety by letting others taste it first? I am your foster father now!"
When he heard the names of these wines, he was sure that they were not inferior to red wine.
It was a pity that he, an emperor, had never drunk it before, yet he had to let others drink it first.
Lin Yuelan was speechless.
Then, he said," Old Emperor, other than Nu 'er Hong and Peach Blossom Wine, the rest are all strong wines. With your physique, you can't drink them at all. Also, you seem to have drunk this Nu 'Er Hong and Peach Blossom Wine before, right? My dear Emperor foster father!"
"..." Yuwen Longyan.
He was at a loss for words!
Was his adopted daughter reminding him that he was getting old?
Therefore, he couldn't drink any of those hard liquor.
Yuwen Longyan stared at Lin Yuelan pitifully.
Lin Yuelan immediately surrendered after being stared at by him. She waved her hand and said," Alright, before the Wine Tasting, I'll get someone to prepare all kinds of wine. I'll give you a jar each." At this point, she reminded him again," Also, you can only drink one of these wines a day, and you can only drink two taels of wine a day. You are not allowed to drink it in the morning, but you can drink one or two at noon and at night. Eunuch Zhang, you must supervise G.o.dfather well." She deliberately emphasized the word 'G.o.dfather'.
"Yes, Princess!" Eunuch Zhang replied respectfully.
"Also, Eunuch Zhang, if G.o.dfather secretly drinks or drinks too much, feel free to report to me. I'll immediately take these things away."Lin Yuelan said.
"Yes, Princess!" Eunuch Zhang bowed respectfully. He lowered his head and laughed secretly.
He knew that no one could control the Emperor. Only the Princess of Guguo had the ability to control the Emperor.
Princess Guguo had specially reminded him that His Majesty could not drink too much wine. Therefore, for the sake of His Majesty's health, if he found out that His Majesty was drinking too much, he would definitely report it to Princess Guguo.
Eunuch Zhang sighed in his heart.
Fate was a wonderful thing.
When His Majesty secretly brought him to Taoyuan Village, he never thought that the fate between His Majesty and the Princess of Guguo would be so deep.
Before leaving the palace, His Majesty thought that Princess Lin Yuelan was only General Jiang's fiance and that she was a capable person.
However, after meeting her in Taoyuan Village, he realized that Lin Yuelan was not just someone with some ability but someone with great ability. Moreover, she was a person who clearly distinguished between kindness and hatred. She would repay kindness and revenge.
Later, when the Emperor returned to the palace, Lin Yuelan helped the Emperor once she entered the capital.
It could be said that Lin Yuelan was His Majesty's saviour, and also the saviour of the Yuwen family's empire.
Therefore, when the Second Prince of the Black Clouds Kingdom, Xiao Jingrui, proposed to marry the Princess of the Guguo as his queen, he had to follow the Princess' own wishes, whether it was for public or for private reasons. However, his heart was still worried.
This was because the marriage proposal of the Second Prince of the Black Cloud Kingdom was not related to the marriage between the two of them. It was related to the marriage between the two countries. If they were not careful, they would bring great disaster to the people of Longyan Kingdom!
