Chapter 109 Slaughtering Concubine Liu
Didn't these harem women enter the palace just to win a chance to be favored?
Everyone knows that once entering the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. There are very few women who have been favored by the king since ancient times. There are many women who have never seen the emperor's face and died of old age, or are buried with them.
In order not to make themselves the most tragic martyr, they naturally wanted to find a way to win the favor of the emperor, and then give birth to an heir.
They didn't have a chance before, but now Shangguan smiled and gave them a chance, and the emperor didn't seem to object.
So a group of women got up and said that they were competing, and they all seemed to want to get that position.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao, as the organizer of the flower viewing banquet, is naturally the most powerful. She raised her hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
In front of the Empress Dowager, these little masters of the harem did not dare to be too arrogant, and they all restrained their edge obediently.
"I know the mood of the younger sisters, and they all want to be alone with the emperor, but this kind of thing can't be too much. After all, the emperor is the king of a country, and you can't get it with a few silvers. Therefore, I think, the emperor's How to give grace is up to the emperor to decide."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao couldn't give Feng Lingzun a price tag to these women, so when she turned back to criticize her, she regarded the emperor as a brothel.
She didn't dare to do such things, unless she wanted to save her life.
Feng Lingzun said: "I don't mind making sacrifices so that the frontier soldiers can spend the winter safely. In this way, those who have raised the most donations today can sit with me to enjoy flowers, drink and watch a play. "
This is the limit of Feng Lingzun.
If he was asked to have sex with these women at night, he would definitely not do it.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed, and thought that this emperor would have a different sacrifice, but it turned out to be this ability.
These women can't wait to eat him, now it's good, he just sits and drinks and has fun, but doesn't give meat to eat, who would go bankrupt and compete for a place beside him.
But Shangguan smiled and didn't expect that, the ending was bright, and she slapped her face completely.
"Your Majesty, my concubine is willing to pay 300 taels of silver."
"3000 taels for concubines."
"5000 taels..."
These women are really crazy, even a group of people keep increasing the price. If it goes on like this, I really don't know what will happen.
But Shangguan Xiaoxiao didn't want to stop, so they could only stop on their own.
Fortunately, no one raised the price when the price reached 10 taels.
"I... I have 15 taels." Just when Shangguan smiled and was about to make a final decision and help Feng Lingzun get 10 taels of military pay, a small voice suddenly increased the price.
There was an uproar at the scene. After all, 10 taels is not a small amount, let alone 15.
All eyes turned to the person who made the bid and forgot about the past.
Xin Guiren immediately put her hand down and hid behind Mu Guiren. Everyone's eyes frightened her.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao was also surprised. He didn't expect Mrs. Xin, who was usually quiet, to want to get closer to the emperor.
This is very unexpected.
However, it is said that Xingui's family is rich as an enemy, so 15 taels is really nothing to her family.
Not to mention 15, even 50 should be available.
"Okay! Now the highest bidder is Xingui. I don't know if anyone else wants to increase the price? Now enter the countdown, 15 taels once, 15 taels twice, 15 taels..."
"20 taels." Concubine Liu suddenly stood up and acted like a demon.
Shangguan smiled and looked at Concubine Liu. She believed that Liu Ruyi had 20 taels. After all, Liu Xiang was not like her left-handed father.
The Right Prime Minister's mansion does not say that it is splendid, but I heard that there are many valuable things.
Shangguan smiled and winked at Concubine De.
Since Concubine Liu wanted to be in the limelight today, there was no reason not to slaughter her.
Mrs. Xin continued to bid: "Two... 25 taels."
Concubine Liu's face was gloomy: "30 taels."
Shangguan smiled and deliberately hyped up the atmosphere: "Oh my God, Concubine Liu actually bid 30 taels, let's give Concubine Liu a little applause. I don't know if anyone will continue to bid?"
When Concubine Liu heard Shangguan Xiaoxiao say this, and saw everyone applauding, she felt a little proud.
She also showed a dignified and elegant smile.
As a result, just as she was halfway through her smile, she heard Mrs. Xin call out the price again. "35 taels."
Unexpectedly, this nobleman Xin dared to ask for a price. Concubine Liu was bleeding, but in order to win the top spot today, and to establish her existence in front of the emperor, she gritted her teeth and shouted directly: "50 taels."
Shangguan smiled and raised his eyebrows. From Concubine Liu's complacent face to the disheveled face, he knew that the 50 taels should be the limit she could give.
In order to get the emperor's attention, she donated all her private money, and her obsession was enough to make Shangguan smile and admire.
"Ahem! Since no one is asking for the price anymore, let's congratulate Concubine Liu for getting the opportunity to sit with the emperor to drink and play with 50 taels of silver."
There was a burst of warm applause, and many people stared at Concubine Liu with envy and hatred, which made Concubine Liu feel a little better.
"Concubine Ai, I am grateful for your generosity for the border guards." Feng Lingzun also spoke and gave Concubine Liu a jujube, so that Concubine Liu's money would not be so heartbroken.
Concubine Liu was happy, and finally she didn't waste her energy, the emperor saw her well.
"Your Majesty, these are what the concubines should do."
"Then there will be a second round of bidding. I don't want my position today. I will give it to the second bidder." Shangguan smiled and continued to bid.
This time, Mr. Xin won the honor of Feng Lingzun's right hand for 15 taels.
This made Concubine Liu's teeth itchy with anger. She had spent 50 taels, so why did Mrs. Xin only need 15 taels?
Thinking of the bid just now, she felt like she was being slaughtered.
She thought it was Shangguan's joke, and she had no evidence, so she could only recognize this dumb ass.
"This third round is a bit special. Although there are only two seats next to the emperor, I have a copy of the emperor's calligraphy. This is the folding fan that the emperor carries with him. Not only are there paintings and calligraphy written by the emperor on it, but it is also a personal and beloved thing of the emperor. How much money are you willing to pay for it? Let’s start bidding.”
Shangguan smiled and really can say.
That folding fan is indeed Feng Lingzun's, and he never leaves his body.
But a few days ago, Shangguan smiled and thought that the fan face was well drawn, so he asked for it directly from Feng Lingzun.
Feng Lingzun gave it to Shangguan with a smile without blinking.
So this preciousness is a bit overstated.
