C203 Grape



C203 Grape

"What are you doing? "    

    

His Majesty suddenly roared.    

    

Xiao Yun slowly turned his head and said with an innocent face, "Me? I'm eating grapes."    

    

"I know!"    

    

His Majesty was almost angered to death.    

    

He directly rushed over, picked up the plate of grapes, and prepared to throw it.    

    

However, he could not bear to do so.    

    

After all, the grapes were transported from a faraway country in the west. During this period of time, one out of ten would be sent over. The rest would be destroyed along the way!    

    

In the capital, the grapes were sold by the price of a single grape!    

    

However, when it came to Xiao Yun, he actually ate them in large mouthfuls. He ate them without restraint, and he didn't even eat their skin!    

    

This was simply a reckless waste of heaven's gifts.    

    

After all, His Majesty really liked to eat grape skin. He liked the feeling of a slight bitterness on his tongue because after this bitterness, there was a fragrance that the grapes themselves didn't have. It was very satisfying.    

    

But this Xiao Yun actually did not eat it!    

    

Shangguan Qing'er this lass was also the same. When she peeled the grapes, she let the juice flow through the gaps of her fingers and did not even lick it? !    

    

His Majesty fiercely gritted his teeth and suddenly his heart became ruthless. He actually grabbed a pile of grapes and stuffed them into his mouth!    

    

His Majesty was usually very thrifty. He liked to eat grapes. However, he did not eat much. When the time came, he would eat dozens of grapes. He ate them on the same day, and every time he ate one. He would even eat some fresh tea and fruits. Together.    

    

Of course, he also wanted to have a good meal without any scruples. He did not need to think about whether if he ate too much, the merchants would put too much energy on the grapes. He didn't need to think about whether if the officials knew what he liked, they would agree with him. The poor people brought him all kinds of grapes.    

    

As the king, he had to exercise restraint.    

    

But now, he didn't need them anymore. He even started to eat them as if it was a matter of course.    

    

Xiao Yun watched blankly from the side. Then he said with a bitter face, "That... Your Majesty, you came all the way to the Imperial Prison just to snatch a few grapes from the peasants?"    

    

His Majesty glared at him fiercely until he finished all the grapes in the small basin. He burped in satisfaction and then started to pay attention to his image. He wiped the corner of his mouth elegantly and said, "Do you know how big of a crime you have committed? And you still have the mood to eat grapes here? You won't even be able to keep your head! "    

    

Xiao Yun touched his neck and said with a bitter smile," Your majesty, it has been so long since the murder happened. You did not come at that time, but now you come. I guess you did not come for that matter this time, right? Your majesty, I do not know if I should say something."    

    

" Hm? Go ahead."    

    

"This grape is specially provided by the royal family of Sun Moon Country. This time, for the matter of the ceremonial blade, the merchant over there specially brought it to me from thousands of miles away. Even I was unwilling to eat it myself. I didn't expect that His Majesty would come, and actually..."    

    

As he spoke, he even wiped the corners of his eyes twice, looking extremely sad.    

    

His Majesty was stunned for a moment and muttered, "No wonder, it's much sweeter than usual. The water head is also full, and the size is also large. So it's specially provided by Sun Moon Country... Cough, cough, cough, cough!"    

    

Then he immediately widened his eyes and loudly said, "It's already a blessing that I didn't kill you. How many grapes did you tell me? Oh right, since you are talking about Yidao, are you really going to sell Yidao to Sun Moon Country?"    

    

His Majesty frowned again.    

    

He did not pay much attention to the ceremonial blade until Fourth Prince went to present the treasure. When he held it in his hand and waved it twice, he finally knew how strong this guy was!    

    

If he chopped it, it would not matter whether it was his arms, legs, or head. It would be like chopping melons and vegetables without any armor. Even with armor, the blade was slender and light, making it extremely convenient to control. As long as he practiced a little, he would be able to easily cut through the gaps in the armor.    

    

Even if he had never practiced it before, as long as he had great strength, he could use the sharp tip of the blade to pierce through the armor!    

    

This blade was a killing machine on the battlefield!    

    

Sell it to the Jianghu Grass Bandits? It wasn't impossible. After all, they were all in the Great Qin Country. Furthermore, seven out of ten were probably bought by the influential people in the Jianghu. Apart from those who were putting on airs on the street, the rest of them were in the hands of the border soldiers.    

    

This was originally a good thing.    

    

But he also heard that Xiao Yun actually wanted to sell this blade to Sun Moon Country?    

    

This was a bit too much!    

    

Selling an advanced weapon to an enemy country, was this considered treason? It was all within the scope of consideration.    

    

Facing His Majesty's questioning, Xiao Yun sighed and said, "His Majesty also admits that this blade of a commoner is a good weapon?"    

    

"Of course it is a good weapon!"    

    

"It is worth more than what it is worth, right?"    

    

His Majesty nodded. He said, "You have a lot of them. If you only have one, I am afraid it will be worth thousands of gold!"    

    

Xiao Yun shrugged and said, "Is the price of the peasants considered expensive?"    

    

"Of course not! Furthermore, when it was difficult to obtain a sword, you actually did not increase the price. This is what made Zhen surprised about you."    

    

Xiao Yun said, "That commoner has already reached such a stage. Take out your good stuff. Selling it at a cheap price is considered a good thing. He also cares about fairness, allowing everyone to have a chance to buy it. Not to directly offer it to His Majesty, or to use it for greater personal gain. But how did those people treat me? The hope of a gold coin collapsing, saying that I lied to His Majesty, they also said that I harmed the people, causing so many people to fight over the gold bills. He even threw me directly into jail, making things out of my control. If it wasn't for the fact that I could give orders in prison, even if I had a way to turn the tide, their so-called calamity had truly become reality. And what did Sun Moon Country do? In order to obtain the ceremonial blade, they had spent a huge sum of money. They had to use every means possible to exchange for gold coins. Only then did they manage to hold up the money of the peasants. They did not let the grasslanders suffer a great disaster, and the gold coins were finally maintained. There were no more bank transactions. In other words, at the critical moment, the people of Great Qin Country used every means possible to scam the peasants. On the contrary, the people of Sun Moon Country had helped the peasants, but even so, the peasants still did not sell the ceremonial blade to them, even if they bought it. They must not have bought it from the peasants. In order to curry favor with the grasslanders, even the grapes that were donated to the royal family were sent here to be given to the peasants... Then, His Majesty ate them."    

    

" Alright, alright! "    

    

His Majesty was a little touched at first, but in the end, he became embarrassed.    

    

In that case, it seemed that he had really let Xiao Yun down when he ate grapes like crazy.    

    

However, he had also eaten them, and it felt good too. He couldn't possibly spit them out again, could he?    

    

He coughed a few times.    

    

His Majesty said, "With your intelligence and intelligence, you know why Zhen came here, right?"    

    

Xiao Yun did not directly answer this question. Instead, he turned to the eunuch and asked, "Have you taken the medicine?"    

    

The eunuch nodded and said, "Quite timely."    

    

"Sigh..."    

    

Xiao Yun let out a long sigh and looked at His Majesty. He shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, no matter what happens, no matter how urgent it is. No matter how dangerous it is, you don't have to be anxious. At your age... In addition to your physical condition, you really can't withstand that evil fire. Your Majesty, with the peasants around, there's no need to worry! "    

    

These words were domineering.    

    

It was also arrogant.    

    

However, after hearing them, His Majesty felt at ease for no reason.    

    

Especially when he felt warm in his heart.    

    

He looked at the empty basin that he had eaten and coughed twice before sitting opposite Xiao Yun. He then said to the eunuch, "Go and bring the fruits that Zhen has kept. Hmph, let this brat gain some experience!"    

    

"There's no need!"    

    

Before the eunuch could reply, Xiao Yun hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him.    

    

His Majesty frowned and said, "What is it? You do not dare to accept Zhen's goodwill? Don't worry, I won't take the opportunity to ask you for money. "    

    

His Majesty found it funny.    

    

However, Xiao Yun immediately said, "Your Majesty, that collection of yours should be Riko, right? And it should be in the icehouse. I'm afraid one out of ten would be in good condition. But it also looks intact. Take a bite. The middle is grey."    

    

"You!"    

    

His Majesty was stunned. On one hand, he felt that Xiao Yun did not care about his collection. This was definitely too much. On the other hand, he was surprised that Xiao Yun actually knew what it was and could even tell the specific style.
