After divorce, the princess was forced to raise the villain

At this time, Shen Ling in the audience had no idea that she had become a thorn in others' side.

She raised her eyes to look at the guests who came to the banquet, and joked with Jingsi: "With such a high price, I'm afraid only a fool would buy it at a higher price."

However, Shen Ling had just finished speaking when someone started calling out the price the next moment.

"I'll give you a thousand taels of gold!"

The speaker was a middle-aged man with a fat face, a pair of mung bean eyes staring at the eunuch in charge of the auction, and his expression was quite excited.

Next to him was a beautiful woman who was very elegant in gold and silver. After hearing this, she glanced at the middle-aged man with disdain.

"You are so poor, you only have one hundred taels of gold and you have the nerve to put it up for auction. I will give you three hundred taels of gold!"

After bidding, the beautiful woman didn't care about the middle-aged man's reaction and just said to the young man sitting next to her: "Sheng'er, don't worry, my mother will get this official position for you today!"

Seeing this, those who had not yet won the official position couldn't hold it back any longer, and for a while the bidding started one after another.

Some of them were bought to their henchmen, and some were originally merchants' homes. They bought positions in order to get rid of the lowest status among scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants. In short, the wealthy businessmen who raised the price bought positions in different ways, and the reasons were different.

Seeing the rising amount, Shen Ling was very surprised.

"These people are really stupid and have a lot of money, but an insignificant and small official position is actually worth spending such a huge amount of wealth on them!"

Jing Si took a sip of tea on the side. He had seen this scene many times. Although each time he was only bidding for some insignificant official positions, the harm to the country was accumulating day by day, and one day it would eventually overwhelm the country.

"Today the emperor can auction off such a small official, but there is no guarantee that he will be able to auction off some more important official positions for money someday."

A slightly muffled, cold voice sounded beside Jing Si, easily saying what Jing Si had not said.

Jing Si raised his eyes and looked at Shen Ling who was holding her chin up and comforting her gently, "Just watch it first, the bidding won't end for a while."

"Alas!" With a long sigh, Shen Ling picked up the cakes on the table and ate them tastelessly while watching the people bidding.

But soon, Shen Ling found that she had nothing to do here except watch them bid, because the auctions came and went, and there was no official position for a female official.

I'm afraid she came out this time just for fun! It's boring, it's so boring!

The bidding was in full swing, but Shen Ling felt drowsy when she heard it. Those prices that could buy several properties in the capital at random did not shock her in the least.

When Jing Si saw Shen Ling's sleepy eyes and the little head movements, a smile appeared on Jing Si's lips. He silently handed over his shoulder, saving Shen Ling from almost getting knocked. Chin on the table.

Feeling the warm body temperature under her head, Shen Ling was not polite. She hugged Jing Si's arm and successfully found a comfortable position to lean on.

She muttered, her voice full of grievances, "It's all your fault that you had to lie to me and tell me what the benefits were. If you had known I wouldn't have come, it's so boring!"

Warm breath caressed Jing Si's exposed neck, and a trace of tenderness that he was unaware of flashed in his eyes.

Isn’t it boring? In that case, let’s make this auction more exciting.

"Your Majesty, I have something to propose." Jing Si's sudden voice woke up Shen Ling who was about to fall asleep again.

The old emperor sitting in a high position still had a happy smile on his face because he had successfully bid for an official position.

"Oh? What's the matter with my dear?"

Jing Si stood up, waved his sleeves and pointed around.

"Your Majesty, there are many women here today. Wouldn't it be too boring to just auction official positions that can only be held by men?"

The old emperor smiled slightly and glanced at Shen Ling beside Jing Si, wondering what Jing Si was planning.

"Does Aiqing want me to put up the female official's official position for bidding?"

"Originally, female officials don't have many official positions. As a female family member here, I can't think of doing the things that a female official does. I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill her duties..."

Jing Si paused for a moment, frowned and pretended to think. After pondering for a moment, he said: "In my humble opinion, it is better to take out the title of a princess and let the female relatives bid for it. I wonder what the Lord's intention is?"

Shen Ling was shocked after hearing this and quickly cheered up.

Is this the benefit Jing Si said he wanted to get for himself? This is interesting.

The female relatives present were also excited. If they had the opportunity to bid for the title of a princess, no matter whether they had real power or not, just saying it would be a very honorable thing.

It's a pity that people's joys and sorrows are not the same.

Lin Fengzhi felt a tightness in her chest. If the title of princess was really auctioned, would Xinyu have to create multiple sisters or younger sisters out of thin air in the future?

It would be fine if the person who wins the title of princess is a noble girl from Kyoto, but if she is taken away by those low-class businessmen, I don’t know how she will be laughed at by others when I go out in the future.

"Your Majesty, you must not do it! The princess has a noble status, how can she just bid for it in such a childish way? What if..."

The old emperor had his own plan in mind and glanced at Lin Fengzhi warningly, successfully making Lin Fengzhi swallow what she had not said.

Lin Fengzhi was unwilling to give in, but she knew the emperor's nature well, so she could only keep her mouth shut.

The old emperor looked at Jing Si and said, "I know you mean well, but the status of the princess is too high, and every move she makes represents the royal family. If she just bids for it, it would be too childish and inappropriate."

When the female relatives who had been looking forward to it heard this, they all made regretful sounds.

Shen Ling originally thought there would be some benefit, but after hearing this, she sighed, sat up straight and slumped back, feeling completely weak.

Jing Si had been paying attention to Shen Ling. When he saw this scene, he almost couldn't help laughing. He had no patience at all. This was just the beginning.

The emperor was an old fox. He wanted to take this opportunity to make money, but he also didn't want to grant another princess. The wrinkles between his eyebrows gradually rose, pretending to be embarrassed.

"I wonder, dear, if you have any other ideas?"

The emperor's voice changed Jing Si's thoughts. Jing Si knew the old emperor's greed for money very well and knew that the old emperor didn't really want to bid.

He took advantage of the situation and suggested, "In that case, why not bid for the title of Princess? This way, all the female family members can participate in this auction, and secondly, there is no need to worry that the person who bids for the title of Princess will lose the royal family." dignity."

However, despite this, the old emperor still did not agree. After another round of excuses, the old emperor reluctantly nodded.

"I agree, but there is no fiefdom, only the title of princess, and I will never take more than one."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar, and all the female relatives fought like chickens.
