Chapter 48 Playing with the Third Prince
The Third Prince was stunned for a moment, then pointed at the rare treasures and asked, "Isn't this a gift for me?"
Yun Zheng blinked her eyes and asked curiously, "When did I say that?"
The scene was silent. The Minister of Revenue and everyone else looked up at the sky and down at the ground, but not at the Third Prince. They felt so embarrassed that they wanted to pick their toes!
The Third Prince thought about it and realized that she hadn't said anything, not a single word. Did he misunderstand?
He couldn't help but vent his anger, "Then why did you withdraw?"
Yun Zheng sorted through the roster and crossed out the names that matched hers. "Oh, the quota has been exceeded. I plan to keep half for myself. Half..."
The Third Prince's heart revived. Giving him half? It's not impossible, but he wouldn't remember the favor.
She dared to embarrass him, even if she did it unintentionally, it was a blessing that she was not punished.
"I heard that Jiang Wenzhou was very depressed after losing his position as the Crown Prince. I can help him regain his position as a reward."
As a woman, she was born to sacrifice for her family. Now that she is married, she will naturally pass on the benefits to her husband.
Help Jiang Wenzhou regain his position as the crown prince, and let them live in harmony as a couple. He can also take the opportunity to accept the help of the Pingxi Marquis Mansion, killing two birds with one stone.
Yun Zheng cursed inwardly. It took so much effort to get Jiang Wenzhou off the scene. Was this repaying a favor? It was revenge!
"The Emperor's words are golden. Once an imperial decree is issued, there is absolutely no possibility of changing it. Third Prince, please stop deceiving me."
She looked completely unconvinced. She was a merchant, she didn't understand anything.
The third prince was used to being praised, so he couldn't stand being contradicted by others and got angry on the spot.
"My father loves me the most. He will make me do whatever I want. After all, my mother is the woman he loves the most."
This was a way to show off the favor they enjoyed, mother and son. He usually didn't show off, but Yun Zheng was really irritating.
Li Wuyang was silent, unable to bear to see him doing something stupid.
Yun Zheng looked like a curious baby. "If you commit a crime, will your father protect you?"
The third prince's words turned around at the tip of his tongue, and he reacted in time and swallowed them back.
His face darkened, "Master Jinyun, you've crossed the line."
"Don't worry, your efforts won't be in vain."
The royal family is born with arrogance, allowing them to take whatever they want in the world, and they don't care about the people below them at all.
Yun Zheng looked down upon his behavior, wanting everything and pretending to be so powerful.
"Why should I worry? Because I don't want to pay anything."
The Third Prince's expression changed drastically. She dared to play tricks on him?!
Yun Zheng divided the treasure into two parts, pointed to the things on the right, and said with a smile, "Nine Thousand Years Old, if I give these things to you, can they guarantee my safety for the rest of my life?"
The Minister of Revenue suddenly turned his head, looked at Yun Zheng, and then at the Ninth Prince. Was he openly looking for a backer?
I have to say that Yun Zheng is a very smart person, and this is the best choice at the moment.
Who wouldn't be jealous of such a huge dowry? The Yun family is so rich that there are no shortage of people who have bad intentions.
The title of a village chief is not enough to stop those jackals and tigers. It is a smart move to curry favor with them at this time.
Li Wuyang looked at Yun Zheng deeply. She had so many tricks, one set in secret and another in public.
"able."
The words were concise and clear, and Yun Zheng showed a faint smile on her face.
In terms of identity, status, favor, and power, the Ninth Thousand Year Old Prince can crush the Third Prince.
If you want to hug someone, hug the strongest thigh.
The Third Prince's expression began to crack inch by inch. He was a prince right in front of her, yet she looked down on him?
"In fact, this prince can also ensure your safety for the rest of your life."
Yun Zheng tried her best to pull him down, "You are not as powerful as the prince, not as sincere as the prince, not as reliable as the prince, and not as protective of his shortcomings as the prince."
She just said it out loud, you are unreliable.
Li Wuyang's eyebrows were filled with a smile and his eyes were bright.
The third prince was so angry that he almost vomited blood. How hateful!
He didn't know that he was taking a big blame. The guests attending the auction thought he was greedy and had an ugly eating habit.
The second half of the auction began. This time it was presided over by the owner of the study under the name of the Yun family. He was an expert who had been immersed in this business for many years and had great discerning eyes.
Even though twenty-eight rare items were missing, sales were still brisk.
The most interesting thing about a blind bid is that no one knows what the final price will be.
If you don't want outsiders to know that you have taken the photo, you can keep it a secret and just use a code name.
The distinguished guests in the box can bid with confidence.
For a moment, some were happy and some were sad.
When the last piece of the finale was sold, everyone thought it was over.
The shopkeeper came up to the stage, holding a long, narrow box in his hands, looking mysterious. "Everyone, our Yun family has found a treasure. Please appreciate it."
"It's Wang Xizhi's 'On Yue Yi'."
There was an uproar at the scene. Wang Xizhi's running script "Lanting Preface" is the most famous and is sought after by countless literati and elegant people, and his "On Yue Yi" is in regular script and is also a classic.
The shopkeeper smiled and bowed, "As everyone knows, Wang Xizhi's 'Huangting Jing' and 'Lie Yi Lun' are known as the twin gems of small regular script. 'Huangting Jing' has been passed down, but 'Lie Yi Lun' has been lost for a long time."
"Our Yun family came across this by accident, and we're not sure it's authentic. So, we're bringing it out for everyone to appreciate. Anyone want to come up?"
The door of a quiet private room on the second floor was suddenly pushed open, and several white-haired old men were helped out, their eyes surprisingly bright.
"I'll do it, I'll do it."
Everyone was shocked. Is this the former imperial teacher Jiang Daru?
Isn’t this the dean of Qingyun Academy, Gu Daru?
Is this Cheng Daru, the master of both calligraphy and painting?
Wow, these are all important figures in the literary world. I didn't expect them all to be here! This is truly a major event.
A group of people hurried onto the stage, and several great scholars stared at the calligraphy, not wanting to blink.
"The meaning is profound and varied, with both strength and softness. This handwriting is like!"
"It's been repaired, which is a pity."
"'The Discourse on Yue Yi' fell into the hands of a princess of a certain dynasty and was stolen by one of her servants, and then lost. It is likely that it became damaged during this process."
One of the dignitaries couldn't help but ask, "Everyone, is this a replica? Or is it the original?"
The dean of Qingyun Academy looked at a dignified old man and said, "Emperor, come and take a look."
The former imperial tutor Jiang Daru has the most honorable status. He is the teacher of three emperors, and the current emperor is also his student.
His old eyes sparkled, his face flushed with excitement. "The handwriting is simple and powerful. This is the authentic work of the calligrapher."
"Great! The 'On Yue Yi' has reappeared in the world!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was excited and eager to try it out. This was a priceless treasure, and they wanted it!
"Excuse me, is this calligraphy for sale?"
"You need to ask my master about this. Please wait a moment."
Yun Zheng stood by the window of the box, with a slight smile on her lips. Everything was under her control.
Li Wuyang glanced at her indifferently. As expected, she was unwilling to suffer any loss and took advantage of the auction to do this.
I just don't know what tricks she wants to play.
The Third Prince rushed over and grabbed Yun Zheng's arm, his expression extremely excited. "Lord, give me the 'On Yue Yi' and I will grant you one request. Anything is fine!"
He would get this calligraphy at any price!
I believe that anyone who knows the current situation will not refuse a favor from a prince, and a merchant's daughter will certainly not refuse it!
Yun Zheng raised the corner of her mouth and said a shocking condition...
