"Since it's the one that the Concubine Dowager likes, then Mingyan won't compete with her for it."
Hearing Princess Mingyan's words, the Concubine Dowager nodded with a smile, but Princess Lina's ears were already burning!
She just wanted to give it to the concubine, so why did the concubine have to bid for it herself?
In the end, Concubine Qing took action and even Princess Mingyan stopped, so naturally no one dared to fight anymore.
"Oh, it was actually bought by the Concubine Dowager. I remember that the late Emperor seemed to have made a lot of Master Xiao's jewelry for the Concubine Dowager. Why didn't the Concubine Dowager let go of this one? She was willing to spend so much money to buy it."
Princess Bi Chen felt extremely lost when she saw her crystal headpiece being taken off.
Perhaps at this moment, even if she didn't dare to compete with Princess Mingyan or the Concubine Dowager, she still couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.
"Are you obsessed with Master Xiao's jewelry, or do you simply like the purple crystal headpiece?"
"I have both. A purple crystal headpiece of that color is hard to come by, so I naturally want one too."
Hearing this, Chaoge didn't know what to say.
The second item to be auctioned was a fist-sized luminous pearl.
When this thing came out, not only Princess Bi Chen opened her mouth in astonishment, but even Chaoge was extremely curious about it!
At this time, all the candlelight on the podium was extinguished, but the light emitted by the fist-sized night pearl was enough to illuminate the face of the host on the podium, even the hair could be seen clearly!
"Is this night-shining pearl natural or fake? Is there really a night-shining pearl in the world?"
"Of course there is. How can this thing be counterfeited? Sister Yun, you don't know that His Majesty and the Queen Mother have one, which is just this big. The Queen also has one, but it's a little smaller than this one.
Oh my god, the auction at Canglan Dynasty tonight is so shocking. This thing actually exists. It is so rare!"
Chaoge was moved. She had originally come here just for the Holy Lotus of Tianshan, but now she couldn't help but want to pick up Princess Bi Chen's sign and get the Night Pearl!
After a while, the host announced the bottom price.
The starting price for a fist-sized luminous pearl is eight thousand taels, which is nearly three times higher than the starting price of the purple crystal headpiece.
This time, there were fewer women who wanted the night pearl, and it was almost always the men present who were bidding.
After more than a dozen rounds, the starting price went from eight thousand taels of silver to thirty thousand taels.
Chaoge You'an couldn't help herself anymore, and hurriedly pushed Bi Chengong beside her, "Help me bid, 50,000 taels directly."
Princess Bichen!
"Don't look at me in surprise. I want it. Please help me to ask for it! I want to buy it back for the children to play with!"
Princess Bichen!
Princess Bi Chen swallowed her saliva and didn't care whether Chaoge had 50,000 taels of silver or not. She directly raised her sign, "50,000 taels of silver!"
After Princess Bi Chen said this, Princess Ming Yan, Concubine Qing and Princess Lina in the front row couldn't help but turn their heads to look at her.
Or maybe their attention was all on Princess Bi Chen, and Chaoge deliberately lowered her head, so no one noticed her presence at all.
Feeling everyone's eyes on her, Princess Bi Chen felt overwhelmed!
They were all important people, and a little princess like her was nothing in front of them. Was she trying to steal someone's love again?
Fortunately, several people just glanced at her indifferently, then withdrew their gaze and continued to look up at the platform.
"Fifty-five thousand taels."
Just when Princess Bi Chen was getting nervous, the signs in the first row were raised again!
When Princess Bi Chen heard the voice and looked at the person who was bidding, she immediately became scared!
"I won't let you yell. If you want to yell, do it yourself. Otherwise, my sister will think I'm trying to steal something from her."
As she said that, Princess Bi Chen directly stuffed the sign in her hand into Chaoge's hand with a cowardly look on her face.
The corner of Chaoge's mouth twitched. She was sure that as soon as she shouted out the price, Concubine Qing in the front row would definitely be able to recognize her voice!
After a period of inner turmoil and anxiety, Chaoge finally gave up the night pearl.
The Night Pearl was successfully bought by Princess Mingyan for 50,000 taels of silver. Chaoge was secretly unhappy and could only look forward to the next opportunity to grab another one.
When the third thing appeared, the whole audience was shocked again!
This time, Chaoge had no reaction at all, because she already had the item being auctioned, which was just a black iron dagger.
After all this, the black iron dagger was bought by a man from another country, who eventually bought it for 100,000 taels of silver.
When the fourth item appeared, Chaoge lost interest even more. It was just a double-sided embroidered screen.
But what she didn't expect was that this double-sided embroidered screen was finally sold for 110,000 taels of silver.
Then there were a few antique calligraphy and paintings, but Chaoge had even less interest in them.
Until the end of the auction, Chaoge was still reluctant to part with anything except the night pearl.
When they walked out of the auction venue, Xiao Zhehan, who had already come out, was already waiting for them.
Because of the auction tonight, the curfew in the entire capital city has been extended.
"Let me take you back."
"No need, you can take the princess there, I can go back by myself, goodbye princess."
After Chaoge finished speaking, he walked towards the carriage that had been waiting for him.
Looking at the departing carriage, Princess Bi Chen's originally depressed mood suddenly became joyful again because of Chaoge's deliberate matchmaking.
She knew that Chaoge did this on purpose.
No matter how cold Xiao Zhehan was towards Princess Bi Chen, it was impossible for him not to send her back so late at night. He was not that ungentlemanly.
Xiao Zhehan also rode on his horse and followed Princess Bi Chen's carriage.
Even though the two of them didn't communicate the entire time, Princess Bi Chen couldn't help but feel excited and happy when she thought about Xiao Zhehan personally sending her back to the palace and his men were outside the carriage.
What Chaoge didn't expect was that just as she returned to the Yun Mansion, Concubine Qing's people arrived.
Looking at Lanxiang who came to his house in the evening, Chaoge was surprised.
"Princess, this is a set of headgear that our concubine bought at an auction tonight. She said it would suit you very well. As soon as she saw it, she wanted you to wear it, so she asked this servant to deliver it to you overnight."
Looking at the crystal headdress on the tray, which appeared at the auction in the evening and was what Princess Bi Chen wanted so much, Chaoge felt as if the stuffy feeling in his heart that had been there all night was suddenly relieved a lot.
If she remembered correctly, Princess Lina also raised a sign at that time.
Before learning that Jun Yumo did not show up for the appointment tonight, Chaoge had already prepared himself to break up with him.
But now that she knows the truth, she feels extremely conflicted when she sees this headpiece.
Seeing Chaoge staring at her head in a daze, Lanxiang stopped talking and placed the tray on the table beside her. She bowed to Chaoge and said, "It's getting late and curfew will come soon. I will take my leave now."
