Seeing that a princess of a country was frightened to the point of being incoherent by a Tianshan Holy Lotus, Chaoge looked at Princess Bi Chen with sympathy.
"Don't be funny, I'm serious. I have a disfigured sister, and I need this Holy Lotus of Tianshan to restore her appearance."
"Ah? This, this is quite pitiful. But... Sister Yun, the Holy Lotus of Tianshan Mountain is not like other auction items. You also saw that a thousand-year-old ginseng was auctioned for 300,000 taels of silver. This thousand-year-old ginseng is rare, right? But the Holy Lotus of Tianshan Mountain is the rarest of the rare! I wonder how much silver it is worth!"
"I know. Anyway, just raise the sign when I ask you to. I must get the Tianshan Holy Lotus today."
Chaoge thought to himself that he was probably too low-key on weekdays.
Or maybe even her father and Jun Yumo didn't know how much silver she had, or even she herself wasn't quite sure how much she had.
But if it was based on the Tianshan Holy Lotus that Jun Yumo had bought before, the wealth in her space would be more than enough.
Putting aside the gold bricks looted from the Gongsun family, the silver notes found inside amounted to more than three million taels of silver.
[Ding Dong, the system has issued a task. Obtain the Tianshan Holy Lotus. Complete the task and you will be rewarded with a bottle of Reshaping Cream. If the task fails, two million taels of silver will be deducted from the host's wealth.]
Just as Chaoge was holding his breath and concentrating on looking at the Holy Lotus of Tianshan on the high platform, the voice of the system suddenly appeared in his mind!
The announcement of this mission caught Chaoge off guard, and Chaoge was also surprised that there would be such a reward!
"System, when did you become such a jerk?! Why did you set up such a task, and now you're punishing me by deducting my wealth? Do you want to get out? I want the Tianshan Holy Lotus just to help Leng Furong restore her appearance, but you not only want me to spend a huge amount of money to buy it, but you also give me such a reward? Are you deliberately trying to make trouble for me?"
[System upgrade, host please cooperate. 】
"Cooperate with me, you big head ghost, you are such a dog!"
After Chaoge finished speaking, the voice of the system no longer appeared in his mind.
She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, looking at the first person holding up the sign with surprise and suspicion!
"One hundred thousand and one thousand taels."
The first person to raise the sign was none other than Leng Liebai who was beside Princess Mingyan!
In these two auctions, Leng Liebai never raised a sign, but Princess Mingyan raised it several times.
Looking at the back of Leng Liebai's head in the front row, Chaoge was a little suspicious. Could it be that Leng Liebai had a change of heart and wanted to take a picture of the Tianshan Holy Lotus and leave it to Leng Furong?
But as soon as this thought came to her mind, she immediately denied it!
Judging from Leng Liebai's previous behavior of keeping Leng Furong in the brothel, no matter how you look at it, he, as a brother, doesn't seem like someone who cares about his sister.
If he said he took the photo and gave it to Princess Mingyan, she would believe it to some extent.
While Chaoge was thinking, the Tianshan Holy Lotus had been raised with placards more than a dozen times. The scene was too intense, and many people who did not hold up placards gave up.
Chaoge clenched his fist and looked at the people who raised the placards one by one. After more than twenty times, the price of the Tianshan Holy Lotus was directly called up to 700,000 taels, and the number of people holding placards decreased by more than half.
Maybe many people were just making trouble. Chaoge looked at Leng Liebai who still didn't give up and kept holding up the sign, and she clenched her fists.
"Eight hundred thousand taels."
Just when Chaoge was about to ask Princess Bi Chen to raise the sign, a soft voice suddenly sounded from the right, causing her to open her eyes wide and look towards Princess Lina who was holding the sign!
Not only Chaoge, but even Princess Bichen beside her widened her eyes in astonishment and glanced sideways at Princess Lina who was sitting next to her.
In addition to shock, there was also a hint of envy in Princess Bi Chen's eyes.
"Princess Lina, you are still so young, why do you want this Tianshan Holy Lotus? Also, do you... have that much silver?"
Looking at Princess Bi Chen's innocent look, Chaoge protected his forehead.
Some people really can't be seen with the eyes.
Princess Lina is the daughter of King Liang'an. Even if she doesn't have it, their palace should have it.
"Princess, you are really good at joking. Since I raised the placard, I must have the money. With my mother's assets, I can still come up with 800,000 taels."
Princess Bichen!
Princess Bi Chen was stimulated. She turned her head away from Princess Lina, curled her lips, and whispered to Chaoge, "Look at her, she's so arrogant!"
"Eight hundred and ten thousand taels."
After Princess Bi Chen finished speaking, Leng Liebai stopped bidding this time, and a voice with an accent from Xiling country sounded in the venue.
Hearing the voice, Chaoge's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly looked towards the place where the sign was being held.
It would have been better if he hadn't looked at it. As soon as he looked, Chaoge and the man made eye contact. The noisy auction scene seemed to freeze in an instant.
In the third row, three seats away from Xiao Zhehan, a familiar smile was looking at her quietly, with a slightly curled lip.
"Eight hundred and fifty thousand taels!"
When Chaoge was stunned, the gentle female voice on the right sounded again, and Chaoge regained his senses instantly!
"Help me bid, one million taels."
"What?!"
Princess Bi Chen almost bit off her tongue!
When she heard Chaoge say this number, she felt the blood rushing to her head and she stood up in shock!
Seeing Princess Bi Chen like this, Chaoge didn't care about anything else. He reached out and picked up the sign next to Princess Bi Chen and raised it above his head!
"One million taels!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar!
Prince Consort Leng Liebai, Concubine Qing, Princess Lina, Xiao Zhehan, Leng Zhenzhen...
And everyone was looking at her!
Princess Bi Chen was so frightened that she fell back on the chair. At this moment, she regretted very much that she had brought Chaoge with her!
What is the concept of one million taels?
In other words, marrying a princess like her with a dowry of ten miles of red makeup is enough to marry five people.
The dowry for marrying a princess like her could be worth a hundred.
Her monthly salary was fifty taels, six hundred taels a year, and one million could give her a salary for one thousand six hundred and sixty-six years.
Even if her mother sold all her property, she probably couldn't raise one million taels...
At this moment, Princess Bi Chen had no other choice but to pray that someone would bid higher than Chaoge.
This auction was held by their Canglan Dynasty. She had made up her mind that if Chaoge won the Tianshan Holy Lotus and they had no money to pay, she would kneel down before her father and apologize.
Maybe a year of solitary confinement?
At worst, I’ll get another hundred lashes!
"Princess Bichen, does your friend have so much silver?"
Just when Princess Bi Chen had figured out how to die, the voice of Princess Lina sounded faintly beside her. Her tone was full of sarcasm, and there was a hint of ridicule in the corners of her eyes.
Chaoge didn't think about anything at this moment. She felt the eyes of the whole audience on her, and also felt the eyes of her mother-in-law in the front row.
"How about, Princess Lina...you raise the price?"
