The Great Tang Dynasty's Trans-Dimensional Conference: Little Rhinoceros Arrives

After eating several pieces of meat in a row, Lin Fan also felt a little choked up.

Suddenly, he remembered that he had bought a lot of fine wine from the modern era, as well as a few bottles of drinks that Si Zi and Cheng Yang had bought.

"His Majesty."

Li Shimin, sitting at the head of the table, looked up with a piece of meat in his mouth and asked, "Hmm, what's wrong, young man?"

"This humble servant would like to ask, does Your Majesty enjoy drinking?"

Wine? Li Shimin then realized that this banquet had not been arranged in advance, so it had not been prepared.

Under normal circumstances, he doesn't drink alcohol with his meals in the morning or at noon, only occasionally in the evening.

After all, he has to handle government affairs during the day, and drinking might affect him. He needs to keep his mind clear at all times when dealing with important national matters.

"Young man, would you like a drink? Wu She, quickly send someone to fetch my finest wine!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan quickly waved his hand, "Your Majesty need not go to such trouble."

"When I came here today, I brought you a gift, which included several boxes of fine wines from later generations."

"Oh, the fine wine of later generations? I wonder what it tastes like?"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested.

Although he was not as fond of drinking as generals like Cheng Yaojin.

However, when he was young, he fought in battles in the north and south, and when there was no war, he often drank with Cheng Yaojin and others.

As for his drinking capacity, Li Shimin believed that he was second to none.

"Hehe, you'll see soon enough, Your Majesty. Please wait a moment, I'll go get it now." Lin Fan said, getting up to leave.

"Well, then I'll have to trouble you to do it yourself, young man. Wu She, go."

Upon hearing this, Wu She immediately understood and bowed, then quickly walked out of the hall.

Before long, everything was moved into the main hall.

"My lord, which box contains the fine wine you spoke of?"

Looking at the mountain of goods in front of him, Wu She didn't know where to start and could only bow to Lin Fan.

"That square box next to your feet," Lin Fan said, pointing to the box containing Wuliangye liquor.

Wu She looked down and saw that Lin Fan was pointing to a brown box, so she squatted down.

Unfortunately, the box was wrapped in thick tape, and Wushang couldn't open it no matter how hard he tried.

Seeing that the tongueless ink mark couldn't open the box even after a long time, Li Shimin was somewhat displeased and was about to speak.

Seeing this, Lin Fan glanced around the table, picked up a small soup spoon, and quickly stood up.

"I'll do it."

Although Lin Fan knew the name Wu She, he didn't know how to address her specifically.

Should I just call him "father-in-law"? Lin Fan felt that this sounded like something from the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Faced with Lin Fan's kindness, Wu She quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you, young master."

No one could know how highly this young man was regarded by Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun.

Therefore, from beginning to end, he dared not show the slightest disrespect.

Seeing Lin Fan get up, Xiao Sizi quickly followed him to his side, tilting his head and saying.

"Brother Lin Fan, do you need any help from the department?"

"No need, brother can do it himself."

After stirring with a spoon for a while, Lin Fan finally opened the box, which contained "Wuliangye 1618".

There were six bottles in the box, and Lin Fan took one out.

He was about to have Wu She deliver it to Li Shimin when he didn't expect that Li Shimin had already arrived beside him at some point.

Along with Empress Zhangsun and Chang Le, Chengyang also watched curiously from the side.

"Is this the fine wine you spoke of for posterity? It looks extraordinary!"

Empress Zhangsun nodded in agreement.

Lin Fan smiled and handed the wine to Li Shimin, then took out another bottle and handed it to Empress Zhangsun.

"This is one of the most famous wines in my hometown."

Li Shimin took the wine bottle and began to play with it in his hands. He liked it very much and couldn't put it down for a while.

The bottle of 1916 is half red and half white, with gold lettering on it. Just by looking at the bottle and the outer packaging, Li Shimin judged that this thing was very expensive.

After studying it for a while, Li Shimin finally turned to Lin Fan and asked, "Young brother, how do I activate this?"

"Just twist the lid on top. Here, let me show you."

Lin Fan took the bottle, pinched the cap and squeezed it slightly, and the aroma of the wine wafted out the next second.

"The aroma of this wine alone is so wonderful, it's unbelievable! Wu She, quickly bring me a cup."

Before long, Wu She came over carrying a plate.

Lin Fan looked up and couldn't help but smile, because it was the very cup he had brought over earlier.

Moreover, this was a stemmed glass for wine; Lin Fan had never seen anyone use such a glass to hold baijiu (Chinese liquor) before.

But he couldn't worry about that for the time being, so Lin Fan poured out the wine.

Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun had never seen such clear wine before, and the aroma of the wine was even more intense.

"This...is this wine? If it weren't for the aroma of wine, I would have thought it was water!"

As Li Shimin spoke, he brought the wine cup to his nose and then revealed a look of utter delight.

"Your Majesty, are you intoxicated by your own appearance rather than by the wine?" Lin Fan joked upon seeing Li Shimin's expression.

"Wow, young man, that's a good description! Haha, I never knew you were so knowledgeable about poetry!"

"Forehead...."

This is just a common saying from later generations, right? Why is it being brought up in poetry and songs?

Thinking of this, Lin Fan scratched his head awkwardly: "Hehe, I know a little bit."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin smiled and put his hand on Lin Fan's shoulder.

"Young brother, I should be the one to treat you with great hospitality today, but I never expected you to send such fine wine. I really don't know what to say."

Feeling the pressure on his shoulder, Lin Fan inwardly groaned.

"Your Majesty, you flatter me. This is all I should do."

"Hahaha, enough with the pleasantries. Thank you for taking care of Sizi and for bringing me these gifts. I... no, I... I'll toast you!"

"good!"

As Lin Fan spoke, he poured wine into another glass.

The two had just clinked glasses when Li Shimin raised his hand and downed the entire glass in one gulp.

"Your Majesty, no..." Lin Fan, who was standing to the side, was too late to stop them.

The moment the large gulp of wine entered his mouth, Li Shimin's eyes widened instantly.

His face turned red, and looking at Lin Fan in front of him, he was at a loss for what to do.

"Your Majesty, if you can't drink it, why don't you just spit it out?"

Taking advantage of Lin Fan's offer, Li Shimin immediately turned around and spat the wine in his mouth back into the cup.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty? Is something amiss?"

Empress Zhangsun looked at Li Shimin, who was blushing, and asked with concern. Of course, she did not think that Lin Fan wanted to harm Li Shimin.

After all, she saw Lin Fan trying to stop Li Shimin from drinking.
