Speaking up to this point, her eyes reddened as she continued, "That's why this Empress held this auction for disaster relief. This auction is supported by His Majesty. His Majesty, the Empress Dowager, I, and the other concubines have all put out treasures for everyone to bid on. All the money obtained from the auction will be used for disaster relief and to help the people rebuild their homes. "
"Good!" The people below immediately applauded. Even His Majesty took out treasures to lead the auction, which showed that His Majesty really cared about the people in the disaster areas.
If they could get something that His Majesty and the Empress Dowager used, it would be worth it. "Good, then I announce the start of the auction. Servants, bring up the first auction item. "The Empress said.
Then, a palace maid went to bring up the auction item. During this time, the Empress smiled faintly at Chu Xuanchen and said, "I didn't expect The Emperor of Li to come as well. The Emperor of Li, didn't His Majesty ask you to raise 1.8 million taels of silver? Instead of raising money, you have the leisure to attend my auction? "
Chu Xuanchen smiled faintly and said, "I came to support Your Highness because I want to do something for the people." "That's good. Then you have to be more generous later and do more for the people," the Empress said with a smile.
"No problem." Chu Xuanchen answered frankly. At this time, the eunuch had already brought up the first auction item.
The tray was covered with a piece of red silk cloth. As soon as the eunuch came over, Madam Wei stepped forward and introduced, "Everyone, this is our first auction item today. It was donated by His Majesty to be auctioned." As she spoke, the eunuch had already lifted the silk cloth.
Immediately, everyone saw a cup that was as thin as a cicada's wing and as shiny as a mirror on the tray. The cup was naturally formed with patterns. It was as green as jade, small and exquisite, sparkling and translucent under the sunlight.
When everyone saw this cup, they all exclaimed in amazement. Madam Wei said, "This is called the Glazed Luminous Cup. It was a tribute from Suzhou's Prefect to His Majesty. This luminous cup is green in color and has natural patterns. The cup is as thin as paper. When the fine wine was poured into a cup, the inside of the cup would sparkle under the moonlight. It was like a gathering of fireflies, simply like a fairyland. This Luminous Goblet is extremely rare and precious. The starting price is one thousand taels. Please make your bids. "
The first treasure was already so rare, and it was donated by the emperor. Everyone was eager to try and bid for it. When Yun Ruoyue saw the exquisite cup, she couldn't help but exclaim, "I've always heard people say that grape wine is a luminous cup. It turns out that this luminous cup is so beautiful. It must be a beautiful thing to drink wine under the moonlight."
"Yue'er, do you like this luminous cup?" Chu Xuanchen asked. Yun Ruoyue quickly said, "Yes, I like it, but I don't want to own it. I just think it's beautiful."
"It doesn't matter. As long as you like it, Wang will buy it for you." Chu Xuanchen looked at her dotingly. "No, this thing is so expensive. It's not worth it. Besides, there are so many exquisite things in this world. I also like many things. It's impossible to buy everything. Don't spend so much money. "Yun Ruoyue quickly stopped Chu Xuanchen.
"It's okay. It won't cost much. At most, it'll be a good deed." Chu Xuanchen smiled. However, he didn't raise his paddle for the time being.
At this time, someone had already raised his paddle and said, "I bid two thousand taels!" "Three thousand taels!"
"Four thousand taels!" When everyone heard this, they were really generous. They directly increased the price by one thousand taels.
The auction was so popular at the beginning. What would happen later? "Ten thousand taels!" Chu Xuanchen suddenly said and raised his paddle coldly.
