"Wow, is this Master Xiao's new creation this year? This amethyst is rare enough, but he even made a whole set of head ornaments! You know, in previous years, a hairpin made by Master Xiao would be worth a thousand taels. I didn't expect that he would produce such a set of amethyst head ornaments this year! No matter what, this princess must get it today and let all the women in the capital envy it!"
Princess Bi Chen's eyes sparkled, and she looked pleased, just like the reaction of those women who loved luxury goods in her previous life when they saw limited edition products.
Chaoge frowned and looked at the purple crystal headdress on the stage in confusion.
She sat in the second row, only about six or seven meters away from the table, and could clearly see the shape of the headpiece.
It is indeed exquisite and gorgeous, the amethyst is polished very smoothly and has a good gloss.
But she didn't expect that in this era, there are already things like luxury goods in the previous life.
"Is this really that exaggerated? I see many people have the same reaction as you, Princess. Are you sure you can win?"
Chaoge was thinking about the fifty thousand taels of silver notes that Princess Bi Chen brought with her. She had just said that she wanted to bid for something for herself, but this was only the first item on the auction and she couldn't help but want to spend a lot of money.
"Oh, Sister Yun, you don't know that Master Xiao only makes three pieces of jewelry a year. Normally, his work every year is for the royal families of several countries. Very few of his jewelry are available to the public, so they are naturally rare."
"But aren't you a member of the royal family? You are a princess. If you want, just let him do it for you."
Upon hearing this, the joy on Princess Bi Chen's face suddenly disappeared.
"It's true that I'm a princess, but to be frank, I'm just a concubine's daughter. Master Xiao's jewelry is usually made for the legitimate children of the royal family. It's not easy for us to get one."
So that's how it is. Chaoge seemed to understand why this girl was so depressed.
"Okay, I have finished introducing this set of Purple Air Butterfly Dance. Now I will announce its starting price."
The host’s voice rang out from the podium, and the originally noisy entire venue suddenly became quiet when he finished speaking.
At the huge auction site, everyone was waiting for the host to make an opening bid.
Chaoge looked around. Not only were the women in the audience's eyes shining, but even many men were expecting the host to speak!
Perhaps those men also wanted to get this headgear just to make the beauty smile or to exchange it for some benefits.
That's why they couldn't help but hold their breath and wait for the host's final starting price together with the women.
The moment the veil was unveiled, Princess Lina, who was sitting next to Concubine Qing, had her eyes shining like many others present, and her heart was moved at first sight!
She glanced sideways at Concubine Qing beside her, suppressed the excitement in her eyes, and continued to maintain her dignity.
"Today's starting price is three thousand taels. Each bid must not be less than one hundred taels. Start!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, the women in the venue could no longer hold back and directly picked up the signs beside them and started shouting.
Even Princess Bi Chen, who was beside Chao Ge, tried to raise the sign several times, but was forced down by others.
In less than ten rounds, the crazy women present had bid the price of this headdress up to ten thousand taels, more than tripling the starting price.
Looking at these crazy women, Chaoge felt that he should start preparing for his Yun's Business in the capital as soon as possible.
As expected, the capital city is the place where there is no shortage of women spending money!
"Twenty thousand taels!"
Finally, after several bids, the price of this set of crystal headpiece was raised to 19,000 taels. This price scared away many crazy women, and Princess Bi Chen next to her finally had the chance to raise her bid.
"Are you crazy? It's just a set of noodles, and your mother only gave you 40,000 taels of silver. You want to spend 20,000 taels to buy it? What if there is something better later? How can you buy it with silver? Besides, this is only the first item. Aren't there ten items in total today?"
Seeing that the price Princess Bi Chen asked was quickly lowered, Chaoge breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but want to talk about this girl.
After all, having money to buy some useful things is not worse than buying these flashy luxury headgear, right?
There are too many crystal items on her shelves. Although they are not made by this Master Xiao, there is no need to spend half of her money just to satisfy her vanity.
"Oh, the bid has reached 28,000 taels. Sister Yun, please don't stop me. If I can't win this time, I'm afraid I will never have the chance to wear Master Xiao's headpiece in my life."
"Do you want it so badly? Master Xiao, is that so great? It's just your vanity. Forget it. I don't think you can get it. Look at your sister, Princess Mingyan, she likes it very much too! I think she should have more money than you."
When Chaoge saw that Princess Mingyan had already bid twenty-nine thousand eight hundred taels, he wanted to persuade her but immediately gave up the idea of wasting his breath.
Instead of doing this, it would be more effective to use Princess Mingyan to stimulate this girl.
Sure enough, as soon as Princess Bi Chen saw Princess Mingyan, she was immediately delighted!
"Twenty-nine thousand eight hundred taels, is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"
Just after Princess Mingyan raised her placard, the originally noisy auction scene suddenly fell silent!
Chaoge couldn't help but look at Princess Mingyan, who had a strong aura. She seemed to understand why those crazy women didn't fight for it.
As for Princess Mingyan's identity as a legitimate princess, these women simply don't have the courage to snatch her. Just like Princess Bichen beside her, she doesn't even have the courage to go out on official business, let alone others?
“Twenty-nine thousand eight hundred taels for the first time!
Twenty-nine thousand eight hundred taels for the second time!
Twenty-nine thousand eight hundred taels..."
"Thirty thousand taels."
Just as the host's gavel was about to fall, a faint voice sounded from the middle of the first row.
Hearing this voice, Chaoge's heart suddenly twitched for unknown reasons, and he couldn't help but look at Concubine Qing.
When her eyes fell on Concubine Qing, Princess Lina was also looking sideways in surprise, without even looking at Concubine Qing who was holding the sign.
"So Toffee likes it too. In that case, why don't you take a picture of it, Lina?"
Concubine Qing frowned and was about to refuse, but Princess Lina beside her had already raised a sign, "35,000 taels."
Concubine Qing!
This girl is really generous. Just let her have the headgear worth more than 30,000 taels of silver as a gift?
hehe!
How could she want that!
"Thirty-six thousand taels."
Without waiting for the host to speak, Concubine Qing raised the sign again and shouted directly without even looking at Princess Lina.
Princess Mingyan and the others couldn't help but look in the direction of Concubine Qing, their eyes were deep and dark.
