"This is a donation, not a real transaction. As long as it can help the people, it's worth it." Prince Xian continued, "But this is The Princess of Li's favorite, so I won't compete with Big Brother. Big Brother, please!"
Prince Xian put down the sign after he finished speaking. Chu Xuanchen immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "One hundred thousand taels!"
This voice was like a bomb that exploded in everyone's hearts. His Highness The Emperor of Li was really rich.
Prince Xian didn't compete, but he still offered one hundred thousand taels. In fact, he could have won the auction if he had offered one tael more. Why bother spending so much money? It seemed that he was the same as Prince Xian. His purpose was also to donate money. This showed that these two brothers were rich and generous.
The Empress didn't expect Chu Xuanchen to be so generous. He and Prince Xian had made such a good start. How could the auction continue? The two brothers had stolen all the limelight. When the time came, the news of them bidding a high price for The Princess of Li would definitely spread throughout the Imperial City and become a story that helped the people. Who would remember that she was the one who organized this auction?
The Madam of Wei was also shocked by this amount. She trembled as she held the hammer and said, "His Highness The Emperor of Li offered one hundred thousand taels. Who can offer a higher price?" "…" The audience was instantly silent. No one spoke.
"One hundred thousand taels going once, one hundred thousand taels going twice. Is there anyone else who wants to bid? " After the Madam of Wei finished speaking, she glanced at the crowd. She knew that no one would be willing to pay such a high price except for Prince Xian. She said, "Alright, one hundred thousand taels going twice. Deal! Your Highness The Emperor of Li, please go backstage to pay and collect the luminous cup. "Chu Xuanchen immediately called Mo Li over and asked him to pay and collect the item.
When Mo Li came back with the luminous cup, Yun Ruoyue still felt like she was in a dream. She looked at the crystal clear cup in her hand and looked at Chu Xuanchen in disbelief. She moved closer to his ear and whispered, "This cup is too expensive. I shouldn't have said that it looks good. I only mentioned it casually and you bid for it. Why bother donating the money to the Empress? You can keep it for yourself. It will be easier to raise the 1.8 million taels. "
Donating the money to the Empress made her famous. As for his own one million and eight hundred thousand taels of silver, he had yet to raise his own.
Chu Xuanchen replied calmly, "It's okay. You can play with it. As long as you like it, Wang will buy it for you. If you like the stars in the sky and Wang can pick them, he will pick them for you. "Hearing Chu Xuanchen's words, Yun Ruoyue had no choice but to accept the cup.
However, she had a faint feeling that Chu Xuanchen would not be at a disadvantage in the end. With his temper, how could the Empress take advantage of him?
Therefore, she was relieved. Su Changxiao heard this from the side and felt very uncomfortable.
Her heart felt like it was being ruthlessly scratched by a cat's paw. It was very uncomfortable. At this time, the second auction item was brought out.
This was a luminous pearl donated by the Empress Dowager. In the end, it was bought by Prince Xian for one hundred thousand taels of silver. It was also a sky-high price.
After Prince Xian won the bid, he was immediately praised by everyone and gained a good reputation. That aura was actually comparable to Chu Xuanchen's. It showed that his actions during this period of time were effective.
Following that, the treasures donated by the concubines were all taken out for auction. Many high officials and nobles wanted to buy jewelry used by the concubines for their wives, so they bid one after another. In a short while, the total amount of the auction reached five hundred thousand taels of silver.
This was just the beginning. If this continued, the Empress might be able to raise two million taels of silver by today! It was clear how influential and charismatic she was.
