The auction items for the female relatives are jewelry or some exquisite trinkets, while the items for the male guests are much more miscellaneous.

There are calligraphy and paintings, bows and swords, saddles, bronzes, wood carvings, root carvings, and strange stones.

The King of Jin did not bid for anything until the gold-plated bronze sword appeared.

He recognized at a glance that this sword was the sword that his father wanted to get, "one thousand taels."

"One thousand five hundred taels." The person who increased the price was the Prince of Jiujiang. "I'm sorry, King Jin, but my father also likes this sword very much."

"Don't be sorry, auction, the highest bidder will get two thousand taels." King Jin said with a smile.

"King Jin is generous, okay, two thousand five hundred taels." Prince Jiujiang added the price.

While the King of Jin and the Crown Prince of Jiujiang were competing to bid for the wrong gold bronze sword, the second competition between Zhao Xifang and Song Yirou had just come to an end.

Zhao Xifang repeated her old plan, and Song Yirou was fooled again. There is no cure for stupidity.

Jiang Changning and the Crown Princess of Qing raised the price for the red gold eight-petal inlaid hairpin donated by the Queen.

The head of the hairpin is cone-shaped, and gold beads are stacked in layers to form flowers. The flowers are surrounded by branches and leaves carved from jade flakes, and in the middle of the flowers, small rubies are inlaid.

Although the hairpin was good and only worth about five or six thousand taels of silver, Jiang Changning called out the price: "Nine thousand, eight hundred taels."

Princess Qing increased the price: "Ten thousand taels."

The wife of the Duke and Crown Prince of Sui looked up silently and saw that the patterns painted on the ceiling of the hall of Prince Ding's palace were really good.

Jiang Changning raised his hand, "Eleven thousand taels."

The Crown Princess of Qing refused to give in, "Twelve thousand taels."

"Fifteen thousand taels." Jiang Changning's price increase was quite large, as if he was determined to win.

Princess Qing calmly increased the price: "Seventeen thousand taels."

Princess De Wang tugged down the corner of Jiang Changning's clothes and said, "Xiao Ning."

Jiang Changning ignored her obstruction and shouted: "Twenty thousand taels." His tone seemed to be angry.

Princess Qing held the veil and pressed the raised corners of her lips, "Twenty-five thousand taels."

After waiting for a while, before Jiang Changning could increase the price, he heard Gao Yanyun shouting: "Twenty-five thousand taels once."

Princess Qing looked at Jiang Changning in shock and saw Jiang Changning's eyebrows were crooked and he was smiling like a little fox that had stolen a chicken.

She instantly understood that she had been deceived by Jiang Changning, "Princess Jin, you can't be so timid about doing good deeds. You only have more than 20,000 silver, and you are reluctant to part with it?"

"Everyone has a responsibility to do good deeds. I didn't want to stop you from doing good deeds and showing kindness, so I reluctantly gave up my love and stopped bidding. How could Princess Zhuang misunderstand my good intentions like this?"

Jiang Changning spoke righteously and showed an aggrieved expression of being misunderstood.

The beauty's brows were slightly furrowed, which was pitiful, not to mention that Jiang Changning even pinched the Princess of Prince De.

Prince De's Crown Princess understood and said with a straight face: "The Princess spent ten thousand taels of silver to buy a pair of golden phoenix hairpins when she was newly crowned. If she really couldn't bear to part with it and couldn't give out a penny of silver, how could anyone else steal the silver from Prince Jin's palace?

"

"How much money you spend is all a matter of your heart. If Princess Qing thinks the price is too high, just give it to me. I really like this hairpin." Princess Changshan interjected.

Princess Qing never expected that these two people would help her. She gritted her teeth and swallowed the hatred back into her stomach. She squeezed out a smile and said, "I don't think the price is too high. I just feel that Princess Jin won't do it if she shouts."

I shouted, it’s just a little weird.”

"Princess Jin, she didn't shout just to make you happy." Crown Princess Deok said with a smile.

Princess Chongyue smiled and said: "Prince Qing's Crown Princess, don't be so good at taking advantage of it. You should thank Princess Jin."

Princess Qing, who was holding back her anger, said with a smile: "Thank you very much, Princess Jin for your concession."

"Prince Princess, you don't have to be polite, you should." Jiang Changning raised his eyebrows and smiled, making the whole room bright.

Prince Qing's concubine felt it was irritating her eyes, so she looked away and looked forward.

Xie Baoyin, who was sitting at the fourth table, looked at Jiang Changning with complicated eyes.

After marrying into the Qin family, she realized how difficult it was to integrate into the circle of ladies.

It's really not easy for Jiang Changning to get along well with these people.

If she had not offended Jiang Changning that day and had Jiang Changning's introduction, it might not be so difficult to make friends with these ladies.

While Xie Baoyin was reflecting, Gao Yanyun took out the second piece of jewelry donated by the Queen Mother, a red gold and begonia corolla inlaid with beads.

The corolla is made of gold wire, with a begonia flower woven on the top and surrounded by a net. The gold net is evenly embedded with thumb-sized pearls.

Gao Yanyun blew the corolla as usual, "The base price is ten thousand taels, and the increase will be at least five hundred taels."

After a moment of silence, someone began to call out the price: "Eleven thousand taels."

"Twelve thousand taels."

This corolla is too beautiful, and this is a good opportunity to please the Queen Mother, so I can't wait and see any longer.

The bidding was quite fierce, but Jiang Changning did not participate and calmly took the silver pick and inserted an apple slice into it to eat.

The apples bought at Dingwangfu are good, pink and sweet, and have a lot of juice.

Jiang Changning finished one piece and was about to insert the second piece when he noticed Song Yirou looking at her, raised his eyes and smiled, "The apple is good, Princess Ningxia can try it."

Song Yirou said with a straight face: "I don't like eating apples."

"Apples are good. Eating them can nourish your brain." Zhao Xifang said this in passing, including Jiang Changning and Song Yirou.

Jiang Changning reacted very quickly, "Then Princess Yu should eat more."

Song Yirou didn't seem to understand and had no reaction.

Zhao Xifang did not answer, but raised her hand to bid, "Eighteen thousand taels."

Song Yirou hesitated again and again and did not dare to increase the price. Zhao Xifang had already raised the price twice, which made her a little worried.

"Twenty thousand taels." Princess Changshan increased the price.

Zhao Xifang raised her hand and said: "Twenty-one thousand taels."

"Twenty-three thousand taels." Jiang Changning increased the price.

Zhao Xifang glanced at her and said, "Twenty-four thousand taels."

Song Yirou wanted to raise her hand, but while hesitating, the price was shouted to 30,000 taels.

In the end, the crown was sold to Princess Baling for thirty-two thousand taels of silver.

Then Princess Ding came out to auction the lots brought out by Prince Ding's Mansion. After some bidding, the six lots were assigned.

Gao Yanyun came up for the third time to auction the jewelry donated by the four empresses in the palace.

When Zhao Xifang took a picture of the jewelry that Concubine Song took out, after raising the price twice, she stopped shouting at Song Yirou's murderous eyes.

Jiang Changning smiled and said: "Just listening to Princess Yu's bidding, I haven't seen Princess Yu win a single item. Is it possible that these things can't catch your eye, Princess Yu?"

Zhao Xifang's heart tightened, "These jewelry are imperial gifts, rare and good things. I also want to take them back, but I don't have the financial resources to match others, so I can only look back and sigh."

"Prince Yu's palace cannot make ends meet. Princess Yu told you earlier. We are all from the same clan and we are not going to stand idly by. If we can help, we will definitely help." Prince Concubine De Wang said eagerly.

"Yes, Princess Yu, don't be embarrassed." Jiang Changning said seriously.
