In the past, there was no role for women like them in participating in the bidding. There was no time when they were not bored watching what the rich man bought and what price the powerful man bid.

But now it was suddenly said that they also had the opportunity to bid. Even though they were just princesses, it was quite an honor to tell them.

Seeing the female family members who could no longer restrain themselves, the emperor smiled brightly and replaced the eunuchs who were bidding, and set the minimum price for the bidding. The bidding for the title of princess began immediately.

"I am willing to pay five hundred taels of gold, and I will be the princess today!"

The woman who spoke was a woman in green. Her body was decorated with rare jade. She was Zhuo Shang, the daughter of the owner of the No. 1 jade shop in Kyoto.

A woman in red clothes on the other side rolled her eyes immediately after hearing this.

"Hey, you look like a rich man who wants to wear all the beautiful jade on your body. You also want to be the princess. I'm afraid you haven't woken up yet?"

After mocking Zhuo Shang, she did not forget to bid, "I will pay five hundred and fifty taels of gold!"

Zhuo Shang retorted unceremoniously, "I heard that your family just lost a big deal last month and lost a lot of money. If you don't have the money to increase the price later, don't ask me to borrow money."

For a while, the female family members present were fighting fiercely. Some of them knew that they were not qualified to bid for the title of princess, so they began to help the little sisters raise money and form cliques, which was very lively.

Shen Ling was not in a hurry. She took a leisurely sip of tea, moistened her throat and asked the emperor, "Your Majesty, I wonder if antique paintings and calligraphy can also be used to pay for money."

The old emperor felt very happy when he heard the amount of money raised by the girls. He seemed to have seen that countless golds had been filled into his treasury. At this time, he could not care about Shen Ling and just responded to her casually.

"Antique paintings and calligraphy can be sold for money, so they can be used to offset the money."

After receiving the emperor's affirmative answer, Shen Ling already had a plan in mind.

All the stunt prizes from the previous dynasty were in her hands. There were too many things that took up space. She was originally worried about not knowing where to put them, but now she has a place to use them.

She gently put down the teacup and spoke in a leisurely manner, "I'll also bid for a picture of Qi Zhusheng fishing alone in the cold river."

Some people present who knew the market were quite shocked after hearing this.

"Oh my god, Qi Zhusheng's painting! This painting of Fishing Alone in the Cold River is one of his rare masterpieces that has survived. It is known as the Orchid Garden in the painting! If it is well preserved, it is conservatively estimated to cost one thousand taels of gold on the market, not to mention that this painting is valuable.

There is no market, but there are many people who want to buy!”

Zhang Fujia, who likes to collect paintings and calligraphy, couldn't help but ask, "I wonder if Miss Shen is willing to sell me the painting. I am willing to pay 1,500 taels of gold to buy this painting!"

Shen Ling shook his head slightly at Zhang Fujia who was bidding, but did not agree.

A noble lady who was raising money felt sour after hearing this, "Hey, it's just an old painting. I've seen a lot."

Shen Ling wasn't angry, it was just that the grapes were sour.

"It's really just one painting, but I have many more here." Shen Ling said nonchalantly, as if the painting he had just bid for was really just an ordinary painting.

The noble girl's face turned dark with anger after hearing this, but there was nothing she could do against Shen Ling for the moment.

There were still people collecting money to prepare for the auction. Shen Ling raised his eyebrows. It seemed that these people had not given up yet.

She turned her head to talk to Jing Si, but her voice was deafening.

"Husband, fortunately, these antique paintings and calligraphy can also be used to pay for money. Otherwise, I really don't know where to sell these orphans for money. But I remember that I also have a set of four seasons pictures by Qi Zhusheng.

Master Wang Baoshi’s Orchid Garden Wild Grass, and some other unique items from everyone, husband, do you think these are enough for me to take the title of Princess Princess?"

Jing Si's ears were buzzing from Shen Ling's roar. He couldn't understand Shen Ling's plan, but her voice was too loud.

Rubbing his ears, Jing Si cooperated and also increased the volume.

"What I'm saying is that my husband remembers that you filled several large boxes with your rare treasures. I think it's more than enough to bid for the title of princess."

There were so many rare and unique items from other people, but it was Shen Ling's turn to pack them in boxes as if they were free of charge. Those who were originally eager to give them a try and increase their bids had no idea.

If these were just ordinary calligraphy and paintings, that would be fine, but the ones Shen Ling mentioned were all rare and unique. Picking out just one of them is enough to make collectors of calligraphy, painting and antiques lose their heads.

If they insist on raising prices even after this, they are simply making themselves unhappy.

The scene became quiet for a moment, and no one raised the bid again. Upon seeing this, the little eunuch who presided over the bidding made the final decision, and the auction for the title of princess ended here.

At this time, the old emperor realized belatedly that he had been deceived. He originally thought that if he put up the title of Princess Princess and put it up for auction, it would cost several million. After all, even those small official positions had fetched a lot of high prices.

As a result, after Shen Ling got mixed up like this, he only came back with a different painting, and that painting was the one he gave back to Shen Ling!

The old emperor regretted that his intestines were green, but now that the matter had come to this, the emperor could only reluctantly admit his loss.

The emperor, who was in a bad mood, was perfunctory and just drafted a decree on the spot to make Shen Ling the princess.

The eunuch held the newly written imperial edict and read loudly, "By God's decree, the emperor decrees that Shen Ling is smart, intelligent, and elegant, and is specially named the Princess of Phoenix Princess. I hereby express my gratitude!"

"The daughter of the people accepts the imperial edict, long live my emperor." Shen Ling happily received the edict.

At the auction, the glazed palace lanterns shone brightly, making the faces of the female family members who did not win the title look as dark and depressed as black and gray.

Lin Fengzhi's face lost all color, and the brocade handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a mess.

I actually asked this little bitch to take away the title of princess. If I want to attack her in the future, I'm afraid it won't be as easy as now!

Jing Si took the opportunity to suggest, "Your Majesty, although the princess is not as noble as the princess, she still has an inseparable relationship with the royal family. It is better to hold a simple canonization ceremony."

Shen Ling also realized at this time that the emperor obviously just wanted to deal with this matter, and she couldn't really just accept the order.

The emperor in the high seat was originally dissatisfied with the price of the auction and was unwilling to give the position of princess to Shen Ling. Seeing that Jing Si went even further and wanted him to hold a canonization ceremony for Shen Ling, Long Yan was furious.

The emperor was about to refuse and take back the title of princess, but Shen Ling spoke with a wink.

"If the Holy One is willing to hold a ceremony for the daughter of the people, the daughter of the people is willing to present Qi Zhusheng's set of Four Seasons Pictures, Wang Baoshi's Orchid Courtyard Wild Grass, and Mu Baixue's Cang Jue Pu."

After hearing the names of this series of orphans, the emperor's expression gradually improved. Although it was still not up to his psychological value, it was almost there.

"I agree."
