Chapter 787 Royal Wine
The next day, at noon.

Tang Yuan was half lying on a folding chair on the open-air balcony, looking at the sparkling Chao Phraya River in the distance. He looked very relaxed and comfortable.

After an unknown amount of time, a series of footsteps were heard from behind Tang Yuan, causing him to sit up subconsciously and look back.

Lin Xingwan was seen wearing an exquisitely crafted white cheongsam. Her long black hair was piled up high and threaded through by a crystal clear jade hairpin. Her oval face was lightly made up, and she was so beautiful that she did not look like an ordinary person.

"Are you all ready?"

Tang Yuan looked at Lin Xingwan, who was dressed up carefully. He slowly stood up from the folding chair and asked her with a smile.

"Is it okay to wear it like this?"

Lin Xingwan turned around on the spot and asked with a little expectation on his face.

"very nice."

Tang Yuan nodded slightly in affirmation.

Today is the first day of the Thai King's birthday celebrations. The Thai King will host a banquet at the Grand Palace for birthday guests from all over the world. As an invited guest, Tang Yuan has the right to bring a female companion to the banquet at the Grand Palace.

This time, Lin Xingwan flew from France to see him, so Tang Yuan naturally didn't want to leave her alone in the hotel, so he simply let Lin Xingwan be his female companion and took her to the Grand Palace for the banquet.

For Tang Yuan, neither today's reception nor the birthday banquet on the Thai king's birthday are of great importance. Only tomorrow's royal treasure appraisal meeting is the most important matter.

"It's almost time."

"Let's set off for the Grand Palace."

Tang Yuan glanced at the time and took the initiative to extend his right hand to Lin Xingwan, and Lin Xingwan naturally took Tang Yuan's hand. Then the two of them walked down from upstairs, got on the Mercedes-Benz Pullman S680 that had been prepared in advance, and drove towards the Grand Palace in Bangkok.

……

The Grand Palace of Thailand is located next to the Chao Phraya River, not far from the hotel where Tang Yuan is staying. It only takes a dozen minutes by car for Tang Yuan and Lin Xingwan to see the outline of the Grand Palace from afar.

The Grand Palace is the best preserved, largest and most national palace among all the royal palaces in Thailand. After continuous expansion by successive kings, it was finally built into the current grand palace complex with a total area of ​​22 square meters. It has a strong local Thai style and is still used for coronation ceremonies, court celebrations and other ceremonial activities.

It is open to the public on weekdays and is the most distinctive scenic spot in Thailand. However, today it is heavily guarded. With the Grand Palace as the center, traffic control has been implemented on dozens of major traffic arteries nearby. Vehicles and personnel of the Thai police and military can be seen everywhere.

Originally, the Mercedes-Benz Pullman S680 that Tang Yuan was riding in was surrounded by black Escalade escort vehicles. However, in order to avoid arousing the sensitive nerves of the Thai military and police stationed near the Grand Palace, Tang Yuan asked Xiong Kai to evacuate all the surrounding escort vehicles before arriving at the security check channel.

There is absolutely no comparison between Thailand's military strength and China's. In addition, there are many transsexuals in Thailand who are neither male nor female, which makes many Chinese people subconsciously believe that Thailand's military strength is very weak.

However, Thailand has always occupied a place in the region known as the Monster House of East Asia. How can it be so weak? Although Thailand seems to be inconspicuous in East Asia, if it is thrown into the war-torn Middle East, it will definitely be a hegemonic existence and can easily sweep across half of the Middle East.

Thailand is a constitutional monarchy and the King has absolute ruling power over the military. Today he is hosting a birthday banquet for guests from all over the world at the Grand Palace. Naturally, the palace has been surrounded like an iron barrel, so there is no need to say much about its safety.

Tang Yuan had an invitation letter written by the King of Thailand himself, so the car he was riding in naturally passed through many inspections without any obstruction and soon arrived at the main entrance of the Grand Palace.

The Grand Palace is built in standard Siamese style with white walls surrounding it. It brings together the essence of Thai painting, sculpture and decorative arts. It looks magnificent and has a strong sense of folk artistry.

At the main entrance of the Grand Palace, Tang Yuan soon saw Xie Chengrun who was waiting in advance. Because he represented the Xie family today, Xie Chengrun looked very formal in his dress, speech and behavior. "Brother Yuan!"

When Xie Chengrun saw Tang Yuan, he immediately said goodbye to a friend who was chatting with him and trotted over to Tang Yuan.

"Are we not late?"

Tang Yuan held Lin Xingwan's hand with his left hand and held a beautifully packaged gift box in his right hand, and asked with a smile.

"It's not too late, the King of Thailand hasn't arrived yet."

"Where are my uncle and his family?"

"My father and his family have already gone in."

Xie Chengrun chatted with Tang Yuan and the others as they walked towards the Grand Palace.

When you enter the courtyard of the Grand Palace, the first thing that catches your eye is the large green lawn and ancient trees of various shapes and sizes. There are some bodhi trees and other tropical trees planted around the lawn.

Not far away, the pagoda-like spire of the Grand Palace reaches into the sky, and the fish-scale glass tiles shine brightly and sparkling under the sunlight.

According to Xie Chengrun, there are a total of four palace complexes in the Grand Palace, namely Chakri Palace, Amarin Palace, Dusit Palace and Vlongbiman Palace. Each palace now has a different function. Some palaces are where the Thai king is crowned, and some palaces are where royal family members hold funerals.

Today, the place where the Thai king holds banquets is the Wulong Biman Palace in the Grand Palace. It was originally the palace built by Rama V for the Crown Prince. Now it has become the official guesthouse for Thailand to entertain state guests.

"Brother Yuan, what gift have you prepared?"

Xie Chengrun introduced for a while, during which time he frequently glanced at the gift box in Tang Yuan's hand. Finally, he couldn't help it and took the initiative to ask Tang Yuan.

"A jar of wine."

Tang Yuan raised the gift box in his hand and answered truthfully.

"Yuehua Brewing?"

"It is indeed Yuehua Wine, but it is neither Yuehua Fine Wine, nor Yuehua Aged Wine, nor Yuehua Rare Wine. It is a non-sale product of our Yuehua Winery, codenamed Royal Wine."

"King's wine?"

Xie Chengrun was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened slightly: "It sounds very impressive, I wonder if this wine has any special effects compared to the previous three wines?"

"In general, it's just four words."

"Spring comes out of dead wood!"

Tang Yuan looked at Xie Chengrun and spoke word by word.

Xie Chengrun naturally knew the effect of Yuehua Niang, so Tang Yuan only gave these four words, and Xie Chengrun roughly understood the effect of this royal wine. The four words "withered wood revived in spring" could be used to describe this royal wine. Its effect was probably much more domineering than Yuehua Niang...
