"Hey, Your Majesty, we have to catch up quickly. We can't let Princess Mo be abducted by that young boy." Feng Yunmu reminded immediately.
"There's nothing wrong with that." Su Ruoan agreed.
"She is Prince Mo's principal wife. What does it have to do with us whether she runs away or not?" Zhan Bai retorted.
In one sentence, you offend three people.
"There is indeed a reason why I'm a single guy. Your Majesty, can I poison Zhan Bai and make him mute?" Feng Yunmu looked at the Regent in the carriage and asked.
Cang Boyi, who already had a gloomy face, suddenly became as cold as ice.
Zhan Bai, who had been following the Regent for a long time, immediately saw that the prince was angry, and very angry. He quickly covered his mouth: "Prince, I was wrong, I will never speak again."
"If you had done this earlier, you wouldn't have made the prince angry. The kid from the Yan family is not as good-looking as our prince, nor does he have as much power as our prince. Princess Mo will definitely look down on him." Su Ruoan said.
"But he is young. Don't people like young and handsome men nowadays? The prince is already an old man at his age." Feng Yunmu retorted.
Cang Boyi's forehead was bulging with veins, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Feng Yunmu, you are looking for-------"
"Your Highness, I'd better go and look after Princess Mo." Feng Yunmu ran away without waiting for the Regent to say the last word.
Cang Boyi's sharp eyes swept towards Feng Yunmu's back: "Do you think you can get away if you run away? Wait until you get back and see how I will deal with him. Su Ruoan, am I very old?"
Su Ruoan shuddered: "Your Majesty is not old, Your Majesty is in your prime, Your Majesty is majestic and imposing, and you are the most handsome man in Cangyue Country.
Besides, most women like men who are older than themselves. It is said that older men are more caring. I think Princess Mo doesn't like Yan Tianming, that little puppy. She should like a big wolfhound."
"Are you saying that I am a big wolfdog?" Cang Boyi's face became even uglier.
Su Ruoan coughed awkwardly twice: "How can you be a big wolfdog, Your Majesty? You must be the wolf king galloping across the grassland."
"Stop talking nonsense and go in." Cang Boyi was too lazy to listen to his nonsense.
"yes."
When the steward of Fuyuan Pavilion saw the Regent coming, he immediately greeted him respectfully: "I greet the Regent. Room No. 1 has been prepared for you. Please follow me, Regent."
Cang Boyi did not leave. He glanced around with his cold black eyes, but did not see Ye Xingchen.
Su Ruoan noticed the little action of the Regent and said, "Steward, I just saw Princess Mo and the kid from the Yan family come in. Where are they sitting?"
"Oh, the two of them are in Room No. 5, which is an ordinary private room just opposite the prince's Room No. 1." The steward explained.
Cang Boyi walked up to the second floor, passed by Room No. 5, and heard people talking inside.
"Ye Xingchen, what are you, an unpopular princess, doing in Fuyuan Pavilion?" Yan Tianming asked in confusion.
"Of course I'm here to "help" Cang Tingchen."
"Help him, just you?" Yan Tianming looked incredulous.
"Don't forget who helped you get rid of that evil spirit." Ye Xingchen curled his lips.
Yan Tianming thought of those hideous female ghosts and shrank his neck in fear: "I'm not looking down on you, but today is an auction held once a year. If you want to win the first prize, you have to pay with money."
"Isn't the 100,000 taels your family gave enough?" Ye Xingchen asked back.
Yan Tianming was embarrassed: "My parents borrowed from several families to get the money together. Are you going to waste the 100,000 taels like this?"
"Since the money has been given to me, I can use it however I want."
"That's true."
Cang Boyi's face darkened outside the door. He walked straight past private room number five and went directly to his own room number one.
Su Ruoan followed behind him and clearly felt that his prince's aura was not right. If he had known that, he would not have followed him out. He had to be careful later.
Cang Boyi, who walked over, naturally didn't hear the voice in the room: "Since you are here to help King Mo, why don't you come in with him? Why do you have to separate?"
Before Ye Xingchen could answer, Yan Tianming understood: "It must be that King Mo came with his white moonlight, so you are jealous and want to use silver to attract King Mo's attention. You can't find a three-legged toad, but there are many two-legged men. What's so good about King Mo that is worth you spending 100,000 taels on him."
Yan Tianming had always been at odds with King Mo. The two of them disliked each other and had been fighting since they were young. Although the 100,000 taels had been given to Ye Xingchen, Yan Tianming still felt annoyed when Ye Xingchen wanted to spend it on King Mo.
"He's definitely not worth my money!" Ye Xingchen agreed.
"You still have some brains. It's better to keep the money in your own pocket. In case you get divorced one day, you will have a way out." Yan Tianming couldn't help but complain.
Ye Xingchen rolled his eyes at him and said nothing more.
The servant in the lobby on the first floor has already started beating the gong: "Ding ding ding! Today is the annual royal auction again. There are gold, silver, jade, glass treasures, cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings, fierce beasts and elixirs, etc. Thank you all for your presence. Today's auction begins.
The first auction item is a piece of Hetian jade. This jade is emerald green and translucent, and the quality is excellent. It was used by the harem of Kitazato State in the past. The starting price is one thousand taels!"
As soon as the servant finished speaking, everyone present began to raise their prices.
Ye Xingchen was not in a hurry at all. He drank tea, ate snacks, and listened to the noise outside.
After about five or six items were auctioned, until the sixth item, which was a white-eyed tiger, it was sold in Room No. 2 of Tianzi for nine thousand taels.
"Ten thousand taels!" Ye Xingchen shouted.
Yan Tianming, who was drinking tea, choked on it: "Didn't you say you wouldn't spend money on King Mo?"
"Who said you can't bid if you don't spend money?" Ye Xingchen asked back.
Yan Tianming was speechless, as if there was no such rule.
The people outside are all shrewd people. Rooms 1 to 4 of Tianzi are all people of extremely noble status. Every year, Prince Mo stays in Room 2 of Tianzi. When everyone sees that Room 2 has made a bid, they will naturally give Prince Mo face and stop raising the price.
But at this moment, they suddenly heard a voice coming from Room No. 5. Everyone was shocked and started talking in a low voice.
"Who is Room 5? How dare he bid against King Mo? He is so bold."
"Prince Mo is His Majesty's most favored prince. Is he tired of living?"
"I just seemed to see the little bully from the Yan family enter room number five. He and Prince Mo have never gotten along, so it's normal for him to bid." Everyone was watching the show.
When King Mo in Room 2 heard someone suddenly bid higher than him, he immediately got angry: "Keep raising the price!"
"Room No. 2, Tianzi, 12,000 taels."
Ye Xingchen continued: "Thirteen thousand taels."
"Room No. 2, 15,000 taels!"
Ye Xingchen: "Sixteen thousand taels."
Mo Wang Cang Tingchen was furious: "This damn Yan Tianming only adds one thousand taels each time. He is clearly going against me. Twenty thousand taels!"
After the price of 20,000 taels was put forward, the price of Room No. 5 in Tianzi did not increase any further and it was finally sold for 20,000 taels.
Cang Boyi in Room No. 1 had a deep look in his eyes. Is Ye Xingchen really here to help Cang Tingchen?
He doesn't look like that.
