Chapter 797 Shocking the Heavenly Being
Five minutes later, Tang Yuan met the King of Thailand again.

The other person sat in the main seat in the reception room, wearing a pure white Thai folk long shirt and trousers, and the air was filled with the scent of agarwood like the fragrance of orchids in a valley.

Compared to the majestic King of Thailand yesterday, the King of Thailand today seemed to be in a very good mood, with a rosy and radiant complexion, and he looked quite energetic. After seeing Tang Yuan, he stood up directly from his seat.

"Mr. Tang, welcome to the Jilada Palace."

The King of Thailand took the initiative to stand up to greet them, which was unexpected by Tang Yuan and others. Seeing this, Tang Yuan and others hurriedly responded with traditional Thai etiquette.

"Thai King, I am Tang Yuan."

"I am honored to be invited by you today."

After all, he is the king of a country, so Tang Yuan would naturally not be disrespectful in terms of etiquette.

"Sit, sit, sit."

The King of Thailand motioned Tang Yuan and the others to sit down and talk, then raised his hand and instructed the waiters around him, "Hurry up and serve tea to the distinguished guests."

In fact, the waiters had already prepared the tea. Even if the King of Thailand did not give any instructions, they would come forward to serve the tea as soon as possible. The King of Thailand said this just to take the opportunity to show how much he valued Tang Yuan.

"Are you the Xie family kid?"

"You have graduated from college this year, right?"

"Speaking of which, when you were a child, your father and I discussed whether we should arrange a marriage between you and a princess from our royal family. If this really happened, you would be the consort of our royal family."

The King of Thailand did not show favoritism. After chatting with Tang Yuan for a few words, he turned his gaze to Xie Chengrun who was beside Tang Yuan. At the end of his speech, there was a hint of teasing in his tone.

When Xie Chengrun heard this, he subconsciously showed a bit of embarrassment, and Tang Yuan looked at Xie Chengrun with a somewhat strange look. He never thought that Xie Chengrun would have such an experience when he was young.

"Hahaha……"

"Xie family boy, don't be nervous."

The King of Thailand saw that Xie Chengrun was a little embarrassed and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Family marriages and arranged marriages are the traditional ideas of the older generation. Your father and I are still very open-minded. We will not force you. However, our royal princesses do have a few waiting to be married, and you have known them since childhood. I really hope that you can become the prince consort of our royal family."

Upon hearing this, Xie Chengrun immediately showed a bit of flattery. Just now when he walked into the reception room, he felt that the King of Thailand seemed to be in a very good mood today. Now, after this contact, he felt that that impression could be completely removed. The King of Thailand was in a very good mood today.

After King Tai chatted with Tang Yuan and Xie Chengrun for a while, he quickly turned the topic back to business. He looked at Tang Yuan and asked, "Mr. Tang, I heard that you were very interested in the copy of the Lanting Preface provided by our Royal Treasury at the Royal Treasure Appraisal Conference?"

"Yes."

Tang Yuan nodded and said calmly, "I have been learning calligraphy since I was young, and I am particularly good at running script. The Lanting Preface is known as the 'best running script in the world' in our country. Although this exhibit is just a copy of the Lanting Preface, Master Biancai is the disciple of the calligrapher Wang Xizhi and has inherited the true teachings of the calligrapher Wang Xizhi, so I want to take it home and observe and study it every day."

Neither Xie Chengrun nor Lin Xingwan felt anything strange after hearing this, because they both knew that Tang Yuan had extremely high attainments in calligraphy, and his calligraphy works had been collected by many senior domestic leaders.

Tang Yuan has such attainments in calligraphy that when he sees the copy of "Lanting Xu" now, he naturally regards it as a treasure. It is like a peerless swordsman seeing a peerless magic weapon. The temptation is simply beyond words.

After hearing Tang Yuan's explanation, the King of Thailand smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Tang, at such a young age, would have such refined interests and hobbies. It's rare to see such things among the younger generation nowadays."

"Since Mr. Tang values ​​this copy of Master Biancai so much, I am willing to help him. However, I think the price Mr. Tang offered is a little insufficient."

The Thai king said this as he turned sideways and picked up the envelope on the table. In this envelope was the "quotation sheet" that Tang Yuan submitted to the Royal Treasure Appraisal Association that afternoon, and Tang Yuan's name was clearly marked on it. Tang Yuan knew that it was the most critical negotiation stage. He remained calm on the surface and did not immediately bargain with the other party. Instead, he asked the Thai king: "Thai king, I wonder if you have experienced the effect of our royal wine?"

“I experienced it yesterday.”

The King of Thailand nodded calmly, without any embarrassment at all.

"How's the effect?"

Tang Yuan asked again.

"Shocking!"

The King of Thailand did not hesitate to give praise, even though he knew that giving such an evaluation would be disadvantageous to the subsequent negotiations. However, as the king of a country, he had his own pride and he disdained to lie.

Yesterday, after taking the royal wine, the King of Thailand started a big fight with his beloved concubine directly in the bathtub. The fight then spread from the bathroom to the living room, study and bedroom.

If I have to describe it in four words, it would be exhilarating.

The King of Thailand has been a romantic man since childhood and has had countless women in his life. As he gets older, his physical condition becomes worse and worse. The King of Thailand knows very well that he can never satisfy those concubines. They are just playing around every time, just to please him and take care of his dignity.

The King of Thailand could tell whether Gao Chao was real or fake at a glance, but in the past he did not speak out about such things because of his face. However, after taking the royal wine yesterday, he felt as if he had regained the bravery and strength when he served in the army. He directly defeated his concubine yesterday, and Gao Chao continued to beat her. In the end, she was exhausted and begged for mercy again and again. She even failed to get up early this morning to help him take a bath and change clothes, and fell asleep directly.

The sense of accomplishment and satisfaction made the King of Thailand extremely happy.

The most important thing is that after the King of Thailand took the royal wine and went on a crazy crusade for half the night yesterday, when he got up today, he not only did not feel weak and listless, but was in excellent condition and full of energy.

The miraculous effect made the King of Thailand worship the Royal Wine as a sacred object, and he felt that he could not live without it for the rest of his life. He treasured the jar of Royal Wine sent by Tang Yuan very much. In the past, his favorite "Air Force Marshal" just approached the jar of Royal Wine and was kicked away by him without any mercy.

After a brief excitement in the morning, the King of Thailand soon fell into worry again. There is a saying: If I had never seen the light, I could have endured the darkness.

This sentence perfectly reflects the Thai king's mood. If he had never owned it, it would be fine, but now he has it and experienced the magic of the royal wine. He simply can't imagine how dark his life will be if he doesn't have the royal wine in the future.

In fact, Tang Yuan and Xie Chengrun didn't know that even if the incident of Zen Master Biancai copying the calligraphy had not happened, the King of Thailand would have taken the initiative to invite them to visit the King's Palace. As a result, before the King of Thailand could take any action, Tang Yuan took the initiative to come to the door.

To be honest, when the King of Thailand saw the "offer" made by Tang Yuan, he almost couldn't resist the temptation and agreed to it, but he calculated carefully that two taels of royal wine must be consumed each time to have an effect. These two hundred kilograms of royal wine would be two thousand taels, or one thousand times.

According to his previous frequency of having sex three times a week, these 67 kilograms of Wang Jiu would barely be enough for him to drink for seven years. However, he is only 85 years old now, and there are still 18 years to reach the maximum age of for Wang Jiu.

Although he might be able to buy more Wang Liquor from Tang Yuan in the future, he was very clear that he was not the only one in the world who needed and could afford such a good thing. When the time came and many of the world's top dignitaries were competing for it, how could he guarantee that he would get a new share?

Greed is always human nature. People always want more. The 200 kilograms of royal wine that even the King of Thailand dared not dream of was placed in front of him, but he wanted to get all the share of the royal wine before he was 85 years old.

Of course, the King of Thailand knew that a copy of "Preface to the Lanting Poems" alone was not enough to exchange for so much royal wine, but transactions are business after all, and he would definitely try to get as much as possible.

Compared to worldly things like gold, silver and treasures, this is a truly scarce resource that has a price but no market. If you miss it, you will never get it again.

The King of Thailand was so confused that his smile became even brighter without him noticing...
