As Li Huang finished speaking, all eyes were directed towards Li Yuze.
Li Chuchu was startled for a moment, then turned to look at Li Yuze who looked unhappy, feeling a little flustered for no reason.
Is it possible that there is another explanation for this bracelet?
"Brother Prince, this bracelet..."
Li Chuchu opened her mouth, feeling anxious.
Li Yuze stood up, snatched the bracelet from her hand, and said seriously: "Back then, my father was ambushed by the enemy during his first expedition and was missing for several days. My queen mother personally led 3,000 cavalry to rescue her. After thousands of experiences,
After a lot of hard work, I found my father."
"My father was rescued by local tribes, but they asked my mother to dig in the mines in person. They would only let my father go if they found jade."
"My mother kept digging for half a month, and her hands were bruised by the tools. Finally, I found a piece of jade of ordinary color. The tribe kept their promise and released my father. At the same time, I was grateful for my mother's sincerity towards my father.
So he gave this piece of jade to his mother."
"My father was grateful for my mother's affection and gave this jade as a lucky stone. After returning to the palace, I made this bracelet myself. Even the auspicious cloud patterns on it were carved on it by my father."
"So, the second emperor sister is saying that the father's affection for the mother is only worth two hundred taels?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall fell into silence!
The slap in the face came so fast, as fast as a tornado.
Li Chuchu only felt the burning pain on her face. If it weren't for the support of the palace maid, she would almost collapse to the ground.
How could it be? This is obviously an ordinary bracelet, so why is it related to the father?
"No, Chu Chu doesn't know..."
She shook her head, not knowing how to explain it for a moment.
Li Yuze's face was as dark as water, and there was a rare hint of disappointment in his eyes when he looked at her.
The nickname for her also changed from nickname to "Second Emperor's Sister".
Li Chu's heart suddenly fell to the bottom.
Li Huang had no intention of letting her go like this: "Now, my mother has been dead for many years, and my father learned that the earth dragon in Yizhou has killed and injured countless people, so he specially asked me to bring this bracelet out, hoping that the people of Yizhou can also
Just like he and his mother did back then, they will be lucky."
As soon as he said this, the whole hall burst into cheers.
Although this jade is not a fine jade, it is priceless because of the friendship between the emperor and the empress.
Moreover, this is jade dug out by the queen herself, and carved and polished by the emperor himself as a bracelet. Let alone an ordinary piece of jade, it is just a stone, and it is priceless.
So, someone in the crowd immediately started shouting the price: "I'll pay one hundred thousand taels!"
They don't want to do anything else. It's the emperor's lucky bracelet, how can it be given to others?
As a result, those with rich families began to fight for it.
"I'll pay 120,000 taels!"
"I'll pay 150,000 taels!"
"I'll pay three hundred thousand taels!"
The hall was quiet for a moment, and everyone looked at a woman in green in the corner.
The woman stood up and saluted everyone present: "Everyone, my husband is Xu Zhijing, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River. This time I came to the capital to raise food for the disaster relief. If you are willing to give up this jade,
Give me all the food and grass needed to rectify this disaster, and my Xu family will have as much as they want."
The Xu family is a famous large grain producer.
The disaster relief money raised this time will eventually be used to purchase supplies such as food, grass, and bedding.
Food and grass usually need to be divided into several places and raised from everywhere.
If someone could provide all the food and grass at once, it would not only save the court a lot of time and manpower, but also minimize the damage to the people of Yizhou.
It was related to the earthquake disaster. Even if the people present wanted the bracelet again, they would not dare to follow the bidding again.
Li Yuze took a deep look at the woman and asked, "I wonder why Mrs. Xu is so obsessed with this bracelet?"
In terms of texture, this bracelet is indeed not the finest jade.
Mrs. Xu looked at him and said frankly: "His Royal Highness, the commoner woman is a businessman. She took this bracelet. In addition to wanting to enjoy the luck of the emperor and empress, she naturally also wants to use this bracelet to help our Xu family."
It brings more business.”
Li Huang thought this woman was quite interesting, and without asking her how she planned to make more money from this bracelet, she decided on the price directly.
"Okay, for three hundred thousand taels, I will give you this bracelet."
"It's just that after all, this was my mother's favorite thing during her lifetime. I hope Mrs. Xu can collect it well."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xu immediately knelt down and thanked her: "Thank you, Princess, for your kindness. A common woman knows what to do."
So, that ordinary-looking bracelet was bought to Mrs. Xu of Jiangnan at the highest auction price in the auction.
Li Huang, of course, became the center of attention.
Li Chuchu only felt that the gazes projected from all directions made her feel uncomfortable all over.
I didn't expect that bitch to be so cunning and deliberately brought out such a bracelet to dig a hole for her!
Li Huang looked at her with a cold and indifferent look, and Luo Mingchuan leaned over and whispered something as if he was successful.
"Uncle Huang and Aunt Huang have a deep love for each other. Even a stone is priceless. You can't understand this kind of thing."
After all, if not for Li Huang, who would she be, Concubine Luo?
Li Chuchu felt that her face was almost swollen from being beaten by the cousins today, and the hatred in her heart almost overwhelmed her.
Seeing that the fundraising was almost done, Li Huang raised his voice and said: "Since the auction is over, I will not bother you here anymore and take my leave."
Li Chuchu felt anxious and hurriedly chased her out of the mansion: "Sister, eldest princess, why are you so anxious? There will be a banquet in the mansion later."
If we let her go like this, how will the people in the capital talk about her when she leaves this mansion?
Before Li Huang could speak, Luo Mingchuan jumped out and refused: "My cousin won't dare to eat your banquet. Who knows if after eating..."
However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Huang: "Mingchuan, shut up!"
Luo Mingchuan gave her an aggrieved look, closed his mouth unwillingly, and stood beside her obediently.
Li Huang looked at Li Chuchu: "The imperial sister has the time to have some evil thoughts, so why not assist His Royal Highness in dealing with the disaster relief? That's all, you can wish yourself good luck."
After saying that, she left without looking back.
Li Chuchu was about to cry and looked to Li Yuze for help.
But Li Yuze didn't look at her, but walked straight towards Li Huang.
"Why did you take out the Queen Mother's bracelet and donate it?"
Li Huang stopped, turned around, and said with a face full of ridicule: "What? Your Highness the Crown Prince thinks that I am using the Queen Mother's bracelet to deliberately set up your good imperial sister?"
Li Yuze choked, then turned away: "I didn't say that."
Li Huang looked at him with cold eyes: "Then what did you want to say when you specifically stopped me here?"
