In front, Luo Mingchuan, who was sitting next to Li Huang, looked left and right, then leaned into her ear and whispered in her ear.
"Cousin, didn't you bring your powerful guard?"
Li Huang glanced at him: "I noticed that you have paid a lot of attention to him recently. What's wrong? Do you want to recruit people from me?"
Luo Mingchuan waved his hands repeatedly: "I don't dare to ask for that fierce-looking one. I just think that if my cousin leaves the house without a bodyguard, what should I do if she encounters danger?"
Li Huang chuckled lightly: "Don't worry, he will appear when I am in danger."
Inexplicably, she just believed him.
"Now, please put the things you want to donate for auction into the box in front!"
Li Chuchu's voice slowly sounded from inside the building.
Everyone will put the things they brought into the box in front.
When it was Li Huang's turn, he took off a bracelet from his wrist and put it in with a look of reluctance.
Li Chuchu took a look at the bracelet. It was just an ordinary jade bracelet, and a flash of disdain suddenly flashed in his eyes.
The majestic princess is so unworthy of publicity.
Later, she would show everyone how cold-blooded and ruthless this noble eldest princess who was supported by the people was when the people were in trouble.
"Okay, let's start shooting now."
Li Chuchu deliberately put Li Huang's bracelet aside, and first picked up other people's things and started bidding.
"This hairpin with a butterfly spreading its wings, if I am not mistaken, is a new product just released by Zhenbao Pavilion last month. You have to spend at least five thousand taels to buy it, right?"
The owner of the hairpin ring immediately nodded: "Yes, my wife has only worn it once at a banquet. Today, I only hope to do something practical for the people of Yizhou."
After this lady took the initiative, the other ladies immediately started bidding.
"I have been staring at this butterfly spreading its wings for a long time. It turns out that Mrs. Xu preemptively bought it. Since I have the opportunity today, I will not be polite. I will pay six thousand taels."
"I will pay six thousand five hundred taels."
"I will pay seven thousand taels."
In the blink of an eye, the bidding price increased from 6,000 taels to 12,000 taels, and finally it fell into the hands of Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs at a price of 12,300 taels.
Luo Mingchuan clicked his tongue when he saw it.
He leaned into Li Huang's ear and whispered: "Cousin, I didn't expect these ladies to be so rich."
This is just the beginning, with more than 10,000 taels in hand. Look at the treasure in that box. How many banknotes do you need to bring out?
"So you have to work hard. In the future, you will marry a daughter-in-law. Even if you don't have a little money, it won't be enough for them to go out and look good."
Luo Mingchuan blushed, and scratched his head in embarrassment: "I haven't reached the crown yet, so don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry."
This auction banquet carries the title of Prince of the East Palace, so no one dares to bleed.
On the contrary, those wealthy businessmen and officials were working hard to gain a good reputation in front of the prince.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the venue was getting more and more intense, many people got what they wanted even though they spent a lot of money.
The auction site was quickly over halfway through, but Li Huang still didn't take action.
During the intermission, Li Chuchu walked up to Li Huang and asked curiously.
"Eldest Princess, haven't you found the object you like?"
The question immediately reminded everyone that she was a majestic princess, and she still hadn't plucked out a hair even though she was sitting there.
As a result, everyone in the audience cast their different eyes towards her.
Even Li Yuze, who was sitting in the main seat, couldn't help but frown. As a royal princess, if the whole auction was completed without spending a penny, it would be criticized.
So, he gave Xiao Linzi, the chamberlain beside him, a look. Xiao Linzi understood and immediately walked towards Li Huang.
He asked in a voice that only he and Li Huang could hear: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked his servant to come over and ask. If the eldest princess does not bring enough banknotes, he can first put them in place for the eldest princess."
Li Huang's face was expressionless: "Thank you, Your Highness, for me, but no need."
After saying that, she immediately turned around and joked with Luo Mingchuan.
Xiao Linzi touched his nose and returned to Li Yuze in despair, repeating Li Huang's words.
Li Yuze's face suddenly darkened.
If this ungrateful girl disgraces the royal family later, he will definitely take care of her.
All of this fell into Li Chuchu's eyes. She seemed to have casually brought a plate of snacks to Li Yuze and sighed softly.
"I heard before that the eldest princess sent a lot of money to buy the shop and the Gu family. After this auction, I don't know if she still has enough money."
When Gu Chenzhou was mentioned, Li Yuze's face suddenly turned even darker.
Li Chuchu gave it up when she saw that it was good, and immediately walked back to the auction table and picked up a piece of snow-white warm jade.
"This piece must be the warm jade that Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs has carried with her for many years, right? I heard that a lot of money was spent to get this jade back then!"
She is like a treasure appraiser. Not only can she clearly estimate the prices of all the treasures present, but she can also tell them their origins, which greatly attracts people to take pictures.
Li Huang was almost ready when he saw the opportunity. When everyone called for thirty-five thousand taels, he raised his hand.
"I will give you 40,000 taels!"
When Gu Chenzhou saw this, he immediately clenched his fists and shouted: "I will give you forty-five thousand taels!"
Li Huang hooked his lips, and Yu'er did the same.
very good.
"I will give you forty-six thousand taels!"
"I will offer fifty thousand taels!"
Luo Mingchuan also shouted: "I will offer you 60,000 taels!"
The atmosphere on the court was suddenly pushed to the highest point.
None of the hairpin rings and jewelry I photographed before cost more than 20,000 taels. As soon as the eldest princess opened her mouth, she raised a piece of jade to 60,000 taels!
Buy it or not?
Gu Chenzhou gritted his teeth and added: "I will pay sixty-one thousand taels."
Luo Mingchuan immediately leaned into Li Huang's ear and whispered: "Cousin, this guy has no money."
Li Huang understood and decisively shut up!
Li Chuchu began to ask: "Sixty-one thousand taels, is there anyone who offers a higher price?"
I asked three times in a row, but no one answered.
After all, it's just a piece of warm jade, no matter how rare it is, it's not worth spending more than 60,000 taels to buy.
In the end, the piece of jade was taken away by Gu Chenzhou for a price of sixty-one thousand taels.
Gu Chenzhou took out all the banknotes in pain, but his eyes couldn't help but cast in the direction of Li Huang.
However, Li Huang didn't even give him an extra look.
Li Chuchu stood on the stage and noticed Gu Chenzhou's gaze, and jealous weeds grew crazily in her heart.
She really didn't expect that Gu Chenzhou would really spend thousands of dollars for Li Huang!
Those 61,100 taels are probably going to take away half of the Yongping Marquis' money, right?
However, she will soon let him know that that bitch is not worth it!
