The Legend of the Resourceful Princess

However, the Crown Prince was different. From the beginning, the Crown Prince had everything, so if he wanted to marry someone, then it must be from the bottom of his heart. For this reason, she had been working hard all these years.

But the result?

Nangong Zi Yuan looked at Murong Xi with a bit of jealousy. She had a sudden thought. 'Wouldn't it be great if the princess consort disappeared now?' Thinking of this, Nangong Zi Yuan started to laugh.

However, the Fifth Prince did not see this. At this moment, the Fifth Prince was looking at the third item in a lazy manner.

This third item was truly interesting.

"Everyone, the third item was personally delivered to me by His Majesty." As Princess Wushuang said this, she took out a box. When she opened it, she saw a string of buddhist beads inside.

This buddhist bead was something His Majesty had always regarded as a treasure.

When His Majesty ascended to the throne, Esteemed Empress Dowager gave it to him. Now that His Majesty's taken this out, who would dare buy it? But if no one bought it, there was no doubt His Majesty would be even angrier. This was a hot potato.

Of course, this was for ordinary people. As soon as this item was brought out, the eyes of the people from the royal family lit up. As long as they bought this thing, it would show their respect for the emperor.

For a moment, without waiting for Princess Wushuang to call out, she had already started to bid.

There were a total of three princes present. The Fifth Prince lazily shouted, "Fifty thousand taels."

Then came the battle between the Fifth Prince and the Third Marquis.

At Feng Qing's side, Murong Xi looked at his and whispered, "Your Highness, are you not going to fight?"

Feng Qing shook his head. As usual, he didn't want to fight over anything. Murong Xi was immediately a bit disappointed. If she were to fight for it, it would be a good thing for them and they would have some face. This person … She actually didn't even buy such an important buddhist bead.

As long as the buddhist beads were given to the emperor, wouldn't he receive even more attention?

The more Murong Xi thought about it, the more she felt that it was a pity. She could not help but want to shout, but she was swept by Feng Qing's gaze and did not dare to say anything. That gaze was terrifyingly cold, as if he was looking at a dead person, causing Murong Xi to be unable to breathe.

It was hard to believe that this was the look in Feng Qing's eyes.

Murong Xi only regained his senses after a long while. When she came back to her senses, the buddhist beads had already fallen into the hands of the Third Marquis and had cost a total of three hundred thousand silver taels. In the eyes of the ministers present, this number could be said to be a huge one.

Even if a prince were to win, it would still be a loss of strength. However, the Third Marquis didn't seem to care at all. It was as if he wasn't worried that the Emperor would misunderstand whether he had embezzled something or not.

After obtaining the Buddha beads, the Third Marquis was in a good mood.

Princess Wushuang saw that the crowd had gotten their hands on something, and smiled: "Next up, there's nothing left to bid for. If everyone is interested, then let's raise the money, and at that time, I will hand over the things that are being collected to the Mu Yun Tower for auction.

Your Majesty will definitely remember your contributions as well. "

After Princess Wushuang said this, everyone present felt relieved. If they were to be asked to donate the money directly, firstly, once they took out money other than their salary, they would be suspected of something. Secondly, the money they took out was too little.

This caused the crowd to feel awkward. However, if they were to take out some treasure, it would not be difficult for them to do so. Most of the people present were eunuchs' houses.

As long as he took out some random items and claimed them to be ancestral heirlooms, he would be able to express his thoughts.

Everyone's thoughts began to come alive.

Very soon, everyone began to donate. Even Feng Qing had donated a painting. It was said that it belonged to the Heaven Gate, and it was extremely rare.

"Elder sister, you just got a hairpin, this hairpin is a perfect match. If you were to donate it together, wouldn't it be better?" Just as everyone was in harmony, Murong Xi's voice rang out.

When everyone heard her, they obviously knew who she was talking about. Thus, they all looked towards Mu Ru Yue.

Mu Ru Yue's heart was as though a dog that had died a day. She really had a grudge with Mu Rong Xi in her previous life. She really couldn't be lacking anywhere. Thinking that, it was obviously impossible for Mu Ru Yue to donate the hairpin that Feng Chen had given her. She smiled and said, "This thing is only mediocre. How can it express the same feelings as the Seventh Prince?

Now that the prince is no longer in the capital, I must take his place. "

With that, Mu Ru Yue took out a few deeds and said to the crowd, "These are deeds issued by my Wang family in the southern part of the city. Everything in the Wang family is due to His Majesty.

After Mu Ru Yue took out the land deed, no one dared to say anything.

After all, everyone knew the value of the land deed. Right now, it could be said that it was hard to ask for even ten thousand gold coins. The deeds that Mu Ru Yue took out were at least ten. Who could compare with them? Not to mention the hairpin.

Murong Xi's expression was also extremely ugly. If it wasn't for that bitch Mu Ru Yue, these land deeds should belong to her! If he gave these land deeds to her, she would be able to give it to him as a personal favor.

"Seventh Princess is really generous." Princess Wushuang praised him nonchalantly. After that, he let Princess Eleven put away all the things she had said. Then, he ordered the people who were taking notes to show her the book he had written down.

"Alright, we've done what we needed to do. Next up, everyone, have a feast." The smile on Princess Wushuang's face was harmless. As Princess Wushuang's voice faded, the sound of silk bamboo rang out once again. The dancers also entered the stage one after another.

Everyone watched the dancers dance.

Everyone was sizing up the people around them.

During the banquet held by the royal family, men and women weren't allowed to have an affair. Therefore, during the banquet, whoever's young lady looked at the young master once more would only be able to be seen secretly. If they had eyes, then maybe in the future, the family would go to the other party's home and propose marriage.

Thus, many of the men and women present were secretly looking at their surroundings.

Mu Ru Yue, on the other hand, was eating the pastries on the table. She hadn't been able to eat breakfast since early in the morning. Even though Princess Wuyou was standing next to Mu Ru Yue and looking at Yun'er's face, she still couldn't help but feel nervous. Her gaze fell upon the people present. Think of the past... He was one of them. He was enlightened again.

Everything Jiang Zilan had said to her just now was still faintly within his ears. Princess Wuyou's eyes were filled with bewilderment. She wanted to talk to Mu Ru Yue, but the situation didn't allow it and he could only continue to suffer alone.

At this moment, the atmosphere of the banquet had become very lively. At this time, Princess Eleven suddenly spoke up, "Aunt, shall we sit here all the time?" Princess Eleven's words caught the attention of everyone present.

These people obviously wanted to continue sitting. They were just going through the motions of the banquet and didn't want to cause any trouble.

Upon hearing this, Princess Wushuang could not help but smile. She was about to say something when she heard a sharp voice not too far away: "The empress dowager has arrived! The empress has arrived! "

Following this voice, everyone present stood up one by one. The sound of silk and bamboo stopped. The dancers also knelt down on the ground, waiting for the arrival of the two most respected girls in the world.

If they could be more relaxed in front of Princess Wushuang, at this moment, they wished that they had never been here before. The empress dowager's temper was due to her poor reputation in the capital. If anyone offended her, they wouldn't be able to live in peace for a day.

Thinking about that, some people's gazes landed on Mu Ru Yue.

At this moment, Mu Ru Yue's mood was the same as what they had expected. She wished that she hadn't come here! As they watched, the empress dowager and empress, supported by two court ladies, drew closer and closer. It was Aunt Yu who followed beside the empress dowager.

Beside the empress was the woman who had brought Mu Ru Yue and the others to the carriage.

"Greetings to Esteemed Empress Dowager and Esteemed Empress." Everyone said respectfully.

"Both of you, get up. This Dowager and Queen just came to take a look. There's no need for you to act like this." The empress dowager chortled as she spoke. The empress had a smile on her face, but it was somewhat pale. It was obvious that he wasn't in a good condition.
