Chapter 031: Qin Ling

The Royal Arena Public Auction really kicked off with the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng is of medium stature, his words and deeds give people a kind of momentum that has been in a high position for a long time, not angry and powerful, dressed in yellow embroidered dragon casual clothes, accompanied by him is Qiao Guifei, the most favored Qiao Guifei Qiao Xuanxin in recent years, Qiao Xuanxin is wearing a lilac gorgeous evening dress tonight, noble and elegant, her appearance makes the women present lose their color.

Several princes also accompanied him, including the second prince Qin Chuan, but at this time he frowned slightly, a little absent-minded, not as free and easy as he usually was.

"What the hell is that guy Xu Shang doing, when is it, I still haven't believed it!" Qin Chuan kept cursing in his heart.

As for the other princes, they are also divided into several factions, and they do not give in to each other, and they are all working hard tonight, and they are bound to perform well and add some bargaining chips to the throne in the future.

There is a seat in the middle of the auction hall, Qin Zheng and Qiao Guifei sit at the top, and Shen Lao Taijun sits in the first place of the lower military ministers without dispute, as for the first seat of the Wenchen opposite her, it is vacant, and no one dares to sit, this is also Qin Zheng's highest courtesy to Shen Lao Taijun.

Under the seat, there are many round tables, and other ministers and celebrities from all walks of life are scattered around the round table, chatting and laughing.

The auction was presided over by Xu Fang, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the highlight was the porcelain cultural relics unearthed by 'Lu Biao', several archaeological giants have given them a very high evaluation, aside from the practical value, they all have a high collection and appreciation value.

Even if tonight is not a charity auction, but an ordinary auction, I believe that there will be many collectors who will attend, after all, there are not many opportunities like this.

The auction first auctioned some ordinary gadgets sporadically, and the auction value did not exceed 10,000 gold coins, and 10,000 gold coins was a drizzle for everyone present.

For half an hour, the auction was held in a tepid manner, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, with a glass to drink from time to time, and a lot of money from time to time......

During this period, only a few people participated in the auction, and the real big people, such as Shen Lao Taijun, Fan Xiang and other first-class ministers, have not moved, although they are all here to send money, but at least they have to bring back something valuable, for those who were auctioned before, they really don't look down on it, even if they are auctioned, they don't know what to do.

"Now, let's invite tonight's main auction item 'Lu Biao Porcelain'. ”

As Xu Fang's words finally ushered in a climax, many people stopped talking privately and began to gear up and be eager to try.

A row of maids dressed in palace clothes walked up, carrying a tray with a piece of embroidered red silk on it, and a delicate porcelain on top of it.

Thirty-six maids-in-waiting, lined up at this time, walked up and down the room with trays, so that everyone present could observe the porcelain up close.

Exclamations and praises came one after another, and it seemed that they were quite satisfied with this batch of porcelain.

"According to the three experts in the archaeological field, the age of this batch of porcelain has finally been confirmed......" Xu Fang talked slowly, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The older the porcelain, the higher the collection value, although the texture of this batch of porcelain is good, and the handicraft is also counted, but if the age is too short, it is still not valuable, and it loses the meaning of the collection.

Xu Fang deliberately paused for a while, in order to arouse everyone's appetite, and at this time, seeing that everyone's attention was attracted, he continued with a deliberate betrayal.

"They are antiquities from the Silver Radiance Dynasty from 3,000 years ago. ”

Phew!

Everyone present gasped, including Old Taijun Shen, she never thought that this batch of porcelain would be so big, the antiquities of the Yinhui Dynasty, even if it was a urine jar, it would definitely be a supreme treasure now.

According to historical records, three thousand years ago, there were only two major forces in the Hidden Dragon Continent, one of which was the Yinhui Dynasty, and the other was the Yinyue Dynasty.

The second prince, Qin Chuan and Fan Shaolian, looked at each other and smiled.

"Now that the auction begins, the first auction is this lotus porcelain vase, with a reserve price of 30,000 gold coins, and each increase shall not be less than 10,000. Xu Fang struck while the iron was hot and pushed the first piece of porcelain to the forefront.

"40,000 ......"

"I'll give 50,000 ......"

......

"I'll give 100,000. Fan Xiang suddenly interjected, revealing a sky-high price.

As soon as Fan Xiang's words came out, everyone who originally planned to continue to compete stopped fighting and stopped raising the price, which was regarded as giving Fan Xiang a face.

"One hundred thousand times...... 100,000 twice...... 100,000 three ......"

"Congratulations, Lord Fan. Xu Fang hugged her fists and congratulated Fan Xiang, and with a wave of her hand, the maid who was originally holding a lotus porcelain vase came out and brought the porcelain to Fan Xiang.

"Haha......" Fan Xiang stroked it lovingly, and laughed heartily. "That's a good thing. The 100,000 gold coins were not unjust at all!"

Fan Xiang is also an antique expert, and when everyone heard his praise, they couldn't help but start to gear up, but no one noticed the trace of cunning in his eyes.

The auction continued, and each piece of porcelain was competing for bidding, all of which fetched a lot of high prices, and a total of 16 pieces have been sold so far, and the lowest price should be Fan Xiang's piece, and the highest one has reached 250,000 yuan.

During this period, Mrs. Shen sat there leisurely, sipping tea from time to time, but never participated in the auction, it was not that Mrs. Shen couldn't afford to pay this money, but her mind was not here, and she always felt uneasy, and I am afraid that this matter today is a bit strange.

"Three hundred thousand!" the second prince Qin Chuan suddenly shouted.

The originally noisy auction hall suddenly quieted down, everyone stopped bidding, and no one chose to continue to follow up, firstly, this price has reached the highest price today, and many people can no longer afford it; secondly, Qin Chuan is also one of the most powerful princes to compete for the throne, they don't want to offend him, they can be regarded as selling him a face.

"Three hundred and one thousand. ”

Just when everyone thought that this porcelain had become Qin Chuan's bag, a voice suddenly sounded again in the field.

The Eighth Prince Qin Ling met Qin Chuan's eyes with a smile that wanted to kill, and his index finger and middle finger intermittently knocked on the table in front of him.

Provocation!

Naked provocation!

300,000 is not a small amount, and other princes can't get it desperately, but the eighth prince is not, and he also has a behemoth behind him.

Qin Chuan glared at Qin Ling and offered again without backing down. "Three hundred and twenty thousand!"

At this time, everyone in the audience held their breath, as if this auction had nothing to do with them, and they were all interested in enjoying the silent contest between the two princes.

A hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Qin Zheng's mouth, but he didn't mean to obstruct it, but there was a hint of anger on the pretty face of Qiao Guifei beside him.

She was Qin Chuan's mother, and Qin Ling treated her like nothing when she did this, but she looked at Qin Zheng's expression beside her, but she endured it.

"Three hundred and thirty thousand!"

Qin Ling seemed to be deliberately serious with Qin Chuan, and unhurriedly increased the price again, he didn't add more than once, just 10,000.

"Three hundred and forty thousand!" Qin Chuan's eyes were about to burst into flames, staring at Qin Ling deadly, as if he was about to tear him apart.

According to the previous plan, when the auction reached its climax and the price had not been raised to an outrageous level, Qin Chuan came forward to auction a piece of porcelain to make a big fuss.

But what he didn't expect now was that Qin Ling suddenly inserted a bar, so that Qin Chuan had to grit his teeth and continue to increase the price, but compared with Qin Ling, his net worth could not compete with it at all, but he had no choice, so he had to continue bidding, he didn't want to lose to Qin Ling in front of everyone.

Although on the surface this is an ordinary auction, everyone knows that it has evolved into a head-to-head confrontation between the two heirs to the throne, especially when Qin Zheng is still present, if anyone retreats, it means that they have lost a move first.

"350,000 ......"

Qin Ling toasted with everyone at his table, ignoring Qin Chuan's anger at all.

Qiao Guifei's delicate body trembled slightly, she knew that this was already Qin Chuan's last bottom line, if she continued to fight, Qin Chuan would definitely lose, at this time she couldn't help but secretly get anxious.

Except for Qiao Guifei, the most anxious person is Fan Xiang, if Qin Ling continues to make trouble, this time the original seamless plan is afraid to go bankrupt.

According to Fan Xiang's net worth, more than 300,000 gold coins are nothing at all, but he didn't dare to take them out in public, after all, those gold coins are not visible, otherwise even he will be unlucky.

"Three hundred and sixty thousand!" Qin Chuan gritted his teeth and added ten thousand again, his heart was dripping blood at this time.

He knew that 360,000 was already his biggest bottom line, and if Qin Ling continued to entangle, he could only give up.

"Huh?"

After Qin Chuan shouted out 360,000, everyone thought that Qin Ling would increase the price again, but found that Qin Ling did not continue to increase the price and automatically gave up.

Almost at the same time, everyone's eyes were all focused on Qin Ling, and at this time, Qin Ling was chatting happily with the ministers beside him, as if this auction had nothing to do with him, this move couldn't help but surprise everyone.

However, when they saw Qin Ling's provocative eyes looking at Qin Chuan, they immediately understood.

Tricked!

Qin Chuan was tricked by Qin Ling in front of so many people.

Qin Chuan had also realized this problem at this time, and he was immediately furious, if it weren't for his strong restraint, he really wanted to slash Qin Ling to death with a sword.

Everyone present understood that it seemed that Qin Ling had won this game, and he had no intention of taking pictures of this porcelain from the beginning, just with the intention of letting Qin Chuan bleed more.

Old Taijun Shen glanced at Qin Ling with interest, and continued to taste the tea, but a short glance did not escape Qin Zheng's eyes, and nodded thoughtfully, but still didn't say anything.

On the issue of establishing a prince, the first thing the royal family has always considered is the attitude of the Nanke family.

Qiao Guifei, who was beside Qin Zheng, naturally saw Qin Zheng's expression in her eyes, and couldn't help but make up her mind again that she was bound to get rid of the Nanke family, otherwise Qin Chuan would probably be insulated from the throne.

If the Nanke family does not fall, they will definitely lose this competition.
