Chapter 261 Fighting
This person is the adopted daughter of the King of Western Region City, Princess Luoyun.
"Princess, the person who stole the herbs from you is the cousin of Li Xia Xia from the Li family. It's fine that the Li family is bullying in Beiling because of their wealth and power. I'm used to being bullied by Li Xia Xia, but now they don't even take you seriously. They really deserve to die."
Princess Luoyun glanced at her and sneered, "You don't have to use those tricks of spreading rumors and sowing discord on me. I have seen a lot of such petty tricks." She raised her arm slightly, and the maid beside her hurriedly stepped forward to help her up: "If it weren't for the friendship between your Zhang family and my father, I would never have gone to a small family like yours when I came to Beiling this time."
The Western Regions is stronger than Beiling. In recent years, Beiling has always been submissive to the Western Regions. As the most powerful prince in the Western Regions, the adopted daughter of King Cheng would naturally be treated as a guest of honor by the daughters of Beiling officials.
Hearing her say this, how could Zhang Ruru dare to refute? She quickly flattered: "The princess is right. It is a great honor for me to serve the princess."
Luo Yun stood up, looked at the room opposite, and said in a cold voice: "Twenty thousand taels."
hiss!
Twenty thousand taels!
How could a herb be sold at such a high price? Could it be a magical herb that could bring the dead back to life?
When Shang Ruoyi heard this voice, her pupils shrank slightly. Isn't this the adopted daughter of the City King?
Considering that she poisoned me halfway and now came to snatch the Tianxin grass, she must be very proficient in medicine or poison.
But I will definitely not give up this Tianxin grass.
The thing he lacks least right now is money.
"Forty thousand taels."
"Fifty thousand taels."
"Seventy thousand taels." Shang Ruoyi played with the teacup on the table and said nonchalantly, "I must get this herb. No matter how much money the young lady offers, I will not give it up."
When Luo Yun heard this, she slammed the table next to her with her delicate hand.
"Untouchable! How dare you snatch things from this princess? You must be tired of living."
At this time, the maid beside her whispered, "Princess, if you continue to raise the price, we won't have enough money to bid for the Dongzhu."
The main reason she came out this time was for the purple oriental pearl. The birthday of the King of the City would be coming soon, and she wanted to give the oriental pearl to her father as a gift.
"This princess knows, and you don't need to remind her."
She glared at Shang Ruoyi's room hatefully. She was wearing a half golden mask on her face, which made it impossible to see her true appearance. However, the lazy look under the mask made her unable to hold back her anger.
She wanted to continue bidding, but her remaining rationality told her not to. After all, the most important thing at the moment was her father's Dongzhu.
She waved her hand, and the maid beside her came out, raised her chin and said, "Our young lady said it's just a piece of broken grass. If you like it, just take it."
Shaoyao snorted coldly when she heard this: "If you don't have enough money, just say so. Why are you pretending to be so noble?"
Her voice was loud, and everyone present couldn't help but laugh when they heard it.
"What the little girl said is absolutely right. Why give it to them? Isn't it because we don't have the money?"
"If I were her, I wouldn't add more silver. It's just a herb, not a magical herb. How can it be worth 70,000 taels? Can eating it make you immortal?"
"Maybe they can really live forever, or are they crazy?"
Tianxin grass cannot make people immortal, but it can protect the heart meridian and save lives in times of crisis.
Moreover, this Tianxin grass is very old and has stronger medicinal effects.
The discussion outside made Luo Yun in the room pale and clenched his fists tightly: "Untouchables! A bunch of untouchables!"
Tianxin grass was taken by Shang Ruoyi. She didn't pay much attention to the subsequent auctions. She supported her head with her hands, feeling a little drowsy.
Finally, it was time for the last lot to be auctioned.
The purple oriental pearl that everyone is looking forward to.
When the oriental pearl was brought up, everyone's eyes lit up. The atmosphere in the venue instantly became heated.
"Oh my god! There really is such a beautiful oriental pearl!"
“Today is such a feast for the eyes!”
In the room, Zhang Ruru looked at the stage with fascination. She didn't have so much silver to bid for the Dongzhu, but Princess Luoyun did!
If I could take a closer look at it, I would be able to talk about it when I meet other noble ladies from the capital in the future.
It was also the first time that Luo Yun saw a purple oriental pearl. She had several oriental pearls in her makeup drawer, but none of them could compare to this one.
No matter what happens today, she must get this purple oriental pearl.
"I guess you all came here for this oriental pearl." Shopkeeper Xiao said with a smile, "I won't keep you in suspense. The starting price is thirty thousand taels. The highest bidder wins."
As soon as she finished speaking, the people in the audience began to raise the price.
"Thirty-five thousand taels."
"Thirty-seven thousand taels."
"Forty thousand taels!"
"Fifty thousand taels!"
"Seventy thousand taels!"
Soon this price exceeded the transaction price of Tianxin grass.
But the auction did not stop and the price continued to go up.
"Ninety thousand taels."
At this time, the guests upstairs also participated in the bidding.
Most of the people living upstairs are business families, and their background is unmatched by ordinary people.
"One hundred thousand taels." Luo Yun said lightly.
"One hundred and one hundred thousand taels." A man walked out of the room, his hands on the railing, his eyes half-closed as he looked in Zhang Ruru's direction: "Is that Princess Luoyun in the room?"
When Luo Yun heard this, his eyes darkened and a hint of impatience flashed across his face.
"It's this annoying guy again." Luo Yun whispered, "I didn't expect he would still haunt Beiling."
She took the veil from the maid and put it on, then walked out of the room. Her eyes swept across everyone with contempt, finally falling on the man.
He raised his chin slightly and said in a cold voice: "Nan Churan."
"If it's really Princess Luoyun, do you want this Dongzhu?" He had a smile on his face.
"That's right." She spoke in a cold voice, with undisguised contempt in her eyes: "Do you want to snatch it from me?"
"Hehe, it's not really a robbery. This is an auction, and the highest bidder wins. How can you say it's a robbery? That's a bit too harsh." The smile on his face remained unchanged, but there was no warmth in his eyes.
"Then we will each rely on our own abilities." She turned around and walked straight into the room, but her voice was heard: "He is just a bastard of the Northern Prince's Mansion, and he wants to compete with this princess. He overestimates his own abilities."
Nan Churan shrugged and turned back to the room.
At this time, there was another man sitting in the room. This man was none other than Princess Luoyun's brother, the prince of the City Palace, Jun Zeqian.
"I say, your sister, do your eyes grow on the top of your head? When you see me, you either roll your eyes or raise your chin."
Jun Zeqian frowned slightly: "Shut your mouth."
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything about your precious sister." Nan Churan sneered, "Why haven't I seen you defend her on weekdays? Now you can't even say a word to me."
