"Today there are a total of thirty items for auction, and each one is extremely valuable." She waved her jade hand lightly, and a maid came forward with a herb on a tray.
Shang Ruoyi glanced at the herb. What's so precious about it? They were just the most common detoxifying herbs, and she had them in her space in handfuls.
"This is a detoxifying herb that can only grow in extremely cold places. It can detoxify and is the favorite herb of the divine doctor. It is called Crane Grass. The starting price is one tael."
Ordinary people cannot use this kind of herb. It can only be effective if it is made into pills or boiled.
Many medical families came today, so this herb is very popular.
"One hundred and fifty taels."
"One hundred and eighty taels."
"One is ninety taels."
There was an endless stream of voices asking for higher prices.
Jun Luoyun sat on the second floor, looking at the herb, a bright light flashed across his eyes.
"Father, I want this herb."
The King of the City waved his hand, and the guards behind him walked outside and whispered, "Five taels."
Five taels!
The crowd couldn't help but be shocked.
Although this herb is rare, it is not worth five taels!
Three or two is already the limit.
"I heard that Princess Luoyun is not only beautiful, but also has great medical skills. I'm sure this herb was given to her by the prince."
"Considering the love that the City King has for Princess Luoyun, what is this little bit of silver?"
Shang Ruoyi raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this. Her biological father was really nice to Jun Luoyun's adopted daughter!
"Five taels, is there a higher price?"
Jun Luoyun raised his chin slightly, this herb must be his.
"Five taels once, five taels twice, five taels..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a lazy voice coming from the upper floor: "Five and one ounce."
"puff!"
How much?
Five 땡01 liang?
The targeting was too obvious. Who didn't know that the person sitting in the room on the upper floor was the City King?
"The guest in the room that just raised the price must be the one that the City King mistakenly recognized earlier!"
"It seems so."
Everyone's eyes fell on that room. The Seventh Prince in the room was already sweating profusely. He said in horror: "Are you crazy? Are you trying to steal something from my uncle?"
Shang Ruoyi shrugged disapprovingly: "I like that herb too, why, is that not okay?"
"Okay, but you have to know who you are robbing from!"
"I know!" Shang Ruoyi smiled. "If others can't bid for things that the City Prince likes, then what's the point of holding this auction? Is it to let us see the financial strength of the City Prince's Mansion? Or to see how favored a certain princess in the City Prince's Mansion is? If that's the case, then this auction house shouldn't be auctioning things, but should be setting up a stage to perform a play, so that everyone in the world can see how much the City Prince dotes on that adopted daughter."
Shang Ruoyi did not lower her voice deliberately, and the soundproofing in the room was not very good, so her words were basically heard clearly by everyone.
At this moment, everyone in the venue was stunned. No one thought that someone would be so bold as to say such rebellious words.
Set up a stage to perform a play?
Isn't this just a blatant insult?
Jun Luoyun sat in the room, his face livid.
Adopted daughter.
These are the two words she hates the most.
She is obviously the most favored princess in the City Prince's Mansion, why is the word "adopted daughter" added?
"Father, someone actually said that. It's obvious that they don't take our City Prince's Mansion seriously." She said angrily, "Father, you must not let her go! Yes!"
The King of the City raised his brows slightly. He didn't know how long it had been since someone said this to him. Normally, he should be angry, but for some reason, he couldn't get angry.
"There's nothing wrong with what she said. This auction is supposed to allow people to compete fairly. The highest bidder wins. If you want it, just raise the price."
Jun Luoyun said coldly: "Eight taels."
Shang Ruoyi smiled and half-lay on the couch: "Eight hundred and one ounce."
hiss!
against! Naked targeting!
"One thousand taels!"
"One thousand and one taels." Shang Ruoyi took a bite of the dessert and said lightly.
The Seventh Prince next to him had silently moved his chair further away, fearing that the Emperor's uncle would rush in and hurt innocent people.
She is so bold as to argue with the emperor's uncle. Isn't she afraid that the emperor's uncle will get angry and slap her to death?
Jun Luoyun was so angry that he jumped up and down, clenched his fists tightly, and said in a deep voice: "Father, this person did it on purpose!"
"Yeah." The City King nodded. The brat must have done it on purpose. He agreed with her, but he was not angry at all in his heart. He even thought her behavior was very interesting.
Seeing that he just agreed casually and had no intention of getting angry, Jun Luoyun could not help but said in a cold voice: "Father, this man is so rude and doesn't take our City Palace seriously at all. This is in the Western Regions. Disrespecting you is disrespecting the Western Regions royal family, and it is a capital crime."
"I just said that this is an auction. If you like it, just raise the price. It's not like our palace can't afford such a small amount of money."
Jun Luoyun clenched his fist, looked at the herb, and said loudly: "Two thousand taels!"
Two thousand taels!
A plant worth only three taels was auctioned for two thousand taels. Everyone was astonished. Wan Qing on the high platform was delighted. The first lot sold so well, it was really a good sign.
When Shang Ruoyi heard the figure of two thousand taels, she whispered, "Your uncle is really willing to spend money!"
"His adopted daughter is also a daughter, so he is willing to give her up."
Shang Ruoyi heard this, the corners of her lips curled slightly, and she smiled and said, "Since the princess likes it, I won't compete with you."
When Jun Luoyun heard her say this, a smile of victory appeared on his face. "You are not worthy enough to compete with this princess!"
Soon, a maid brought the herbs into the room. Jun Luoyun looked at the herbs and felt extremely satisfied.
Shang Ruoyi looked indifferent and turned her gaze to the next item.
"Why don't you take a picture?" The Seventh Prince asked in a low voice, "You are a doctor, don't you need the herbs for detoxification?"
“This crane grass is different from other herbs. Other herbs can be preserved after being air-dried in the sun, but this is not the case with crane grass.” This crane grass must be picked fresh for use as medicine. Those that are air-dried, such as the one Jun Luoyun bought today, have no medicinal value.
When the Seventh Prince heard this, he exclaimed, "You know that the dried ones have no medicinal value, why did you still take them?"
"I like it. I have plenty of money. Is that not okay?"
After hearing what she said, how could the Seventh Prince dare to say anything? He was just praying now that if he really angered the emperor's uncle, he would not be beaten together with him.
The next few lots all fetched good prices. Wan Qing was very happy, her eyes falling on Shang Ruoyi's eyes from time to time.
