The Empress donated a pair of gold-encrusted jade earrings made of rabbit and medicine. This is a pair of exquisitely crafted gold-encrusted jade earrings that symbolize good luck and good luck.

The round gold ring resembles the fifteenth moon. Under the gold ear hook, there is a crystal clear ruby. Under the ruby, there is a medicine-pounding jade rabbit carved from mutton-fat white jade.

Although there was a distance, Jiang Changning could still see that the piece of jade used to carve the jade rabbit was very good, it could be said to be flawless white jade, warm and delicate.

Thinking of the last time the Queen helped her in the Queen Mother's Palace, no matter what the Queen's true intention was, she helped her after all.

Jiang Changning raised his hand, "One thousand three hundred taels."

She directly added a hundred taels to the base price.

The wife of the Duke of Sui Dynasty did not expect that she would participate in the bidding, and was stunned for a moment.

"One thousand three hundred and fifty taels." Song Yirou called out the price.

Everyone looked at Song Yirou in surprise. The queen and the concubine were at odds with each other. Is Song Yirou mentally ill?

Zhao Xifang drank tea from a cup and covered the slightly raised corners of her mouth.

Song Yirou is imitating her, but Jiang Changning is not stupid, so he will not keep carrying the queen's sedan chair.

The prince and his wife of the Sui Dynasty did not dare to raise the price. The two princesses were fighting, so she had better stay calm. Anyway, the queen donated three pieces of jewelry. If you can't buy this one, just buy the other two.

When he shouted seven thousand taels, Jiang Changning fell silent.

"Is Prince Jin's family so thin? Can't he get more than seven thousand taels of silver?" Song Yirou asked sarcastically.

"Princess Ningxia just bought a hairpin and spent too much money. Now she doesn't have the money, and is she afraid that the earrings will fall into her hands? It's okay. Princess Ningxia doesn't need to be embarrassed. I'll just add another hundred taels, seven thousand one hundred.

Two." Jiang Changning said with a genuine smile.

"Who doesn't want to take advantage of the money? Eight thousand taels." Song Yirou shouted angrily.

"Princess Ningxia, don't be too pushy, eight thousand one hundred taels." Jiang Changning's previous bid was not aimed at Song Yirou, but Song Yirou insisted on asking her to slap her in the face, so it would be unjustifiable for her not to do so.

Song Yirou no longer wanted to bid, but as soon as Jiang Changning said this, she got angry and said, "Nine thousand taels."

"It seems that Princess Ningxia really wants to buy it, so I won't argue with you." Jiang Changning leaned back in his chair with a bright smile.

Song Yirou choked on it in one breath, and her face turned red.

The other ladies sighed secretly and shook their heads. How did the Song family teach their daughters?

He was so stupid that he was teased first by Princess Yu and then by Princess Jin.

Gao Yanyun didn't care who auctioned the earrings. She asked the palace maid to bring up a pair of silk-embedded golden phoenix hairpins donated by the Queen Mother.

"The phoenix comes to the corner of the courtyard with its pearl in its mouth. I bring blessings and eliminate misfortunes." Gao Yanyun picked up the pair of golden phoenix hairpins and showed them.

"The hairpin was specially made for the Queen Mother by the Silver Making Bureau. The phoenix head is made of a whole piece of gold, and the phoenix body and auspicious clouds are all made of tired silk." Gao Yanyun was full of praise for the golden phoenix hairpin.

"The golden phoenix spreads its wings and steps on the auspicious clouds. It is elegant and beautiful."

"Slim, beautiful, and exquisitely crafted."

As the Empress Dowager's savior and the one whom the Empress Dowager pointed out as a noble relative, Jiang Changning naturally had to cheer for the Empress Dowager and raised his hand and said: "Five thousand one hundred taels."

Song Yirou participated in the bidding again, but the increase was not much, "five thousand two hundred taels."

Jiang Changning's lips raised slightly, "Six thousand taels."

Song Yirou's eyes lit up, "Seven thousand taels." Even after calling out the price, she gave Jiang Changning a provocative look.

"Seven thousand one hundred taels." Jiang Changning steadily increased the price.

The two princesses were at odds again, and the other ladies did not bid and just watched the show.

Princess Ding and Crown Princess Ding looked at each other and smiled. They had a good fighting spirit and the price was high. The money they got from the auction was a lot, so they could make business with the Queen Mother.

"Eight thousand taels." Song Yirou shouted.

"Princess Ningxia likes this phoenix hairpin so much!" Jiang Changning saw Song Yirou's nervous expression visible to the naked eye, and suppressed a smile, "I like it quite a lot, too, eight thousand one hundred taels."

Song Yirou was relieved and did not dare to raise the price. She was afraid that the hairpin would hit her hand again.

"Eight thousand two hundred taels." Prince Qing's concubine called out the price for the first time.

Jiang Changning smiled and said: "Eight thousand five hundred taels."

"Eight thousand six hundred taels." Princess Qing did not give in at all. As soon as Jiang Changning finished speaking, she immediately raised the price.

Jiang Changning increased the price calmly, "Eight thousand, seven hundred taels."

"Nine thousand taels." Princess Qing looked back and smiled at Jiang Changning, "To raise donations, everyone who has the money and ability can contribute."

"That's what the Crown Princess said." Jiang Changning smiled, raised his hand and added another hundred taels.

Princess Qing also raised the price, and when the price reached ten thousand taels, Princess Qing used Jiang Changning's previous words, "It seems that Princess Jin really likes this hairpin, so I won't argue with you."

"Thank you, Crown Princess, for your kindness." Jiang Changning bowed slightly, with a smile on his face.

Seeing that she was not forcing her smile, Princess Qing's heart skipped a beat, thinking of Jiang Changning's rumored generous dowry.

Then I thought about this pair of golden phoenix hairpins, both in terms of craftsmanship and material, they are of the best quality, and they were worn by the Queen Mother. They cost 10,000 taels of silver, which was a bargain for Jiang Changning.

Princess Qing made up her mind that if she raised the price more next time, she would have to make Jiang Changning bleed heavily.

Gao Yanyun retreated and took pictures of four items in a row. She had to rest.

Prince Ding's Crown Princess has come up. Prince Ding's palace is holding a disaster relief banquet, and they also want to bring out the auction items.

Of course, the item that King Ding took out for auction was not jewelry.

The first piece is a celadon flower pot with a long and thin body, a straight and large mouth, and green glaze on the inside of the pot.

"The base price is one hundred taels, the minimum increase is ten taels." Princess Ding said with a smile.

This time there were more people bidding, and soon the price rose to one thousand six hundred taels, far exceeding the price of the jar itself.

In the end, the jar was bought by Princess Anping for 2,100 taels.

The second item on the lot is an incense burner made of Hetian jade particles with sheep's head ears. The cover of the incense burner is gilt and inlaid with three colors of red, blue and green gemstones.

"The base price of this incense burner is three hundred taels, and the minimum increase is twenty taels."

Of the six lots brought out by Prince Ding's Mansion, Jiang Changning didn't like any of them, so he didn't bid.

Princess De's wife spent one thousand taels of silver to buy a black lacquer pipa. This pipa was of excellent workmanship, with bright black lacquer and graceful curves.

The zithers are placed on both sides of the head of the instrument. The pegs are made of prismatic shapes. The head of the instrument is inlaid with white jade relief chifeng patterns and the word "Fu". The belly of the instrument is inlaid with treasure patterns. The whole shape is simple and unique.

"You can play the pipa. You can play it to me some other time. I want to listen to "House of Flying Daggers." Jiang Changning said in a low voice.

Prince De's Crown Princess smiled, "The murderous intent is really strong."

"I'm more elegant. Is it okay if I listen to "Spring Snow"?"

"Okay, when it's time to have a banquet, I'll hold a musical instrument concert and have fun with friends. By the way, what musical instrument do you play?"

"I can play the piano." Jiang Changning can also play the pipa and the flute, but there is no need to say that.

"Do you know what instruments are used in the Lucky Club?"

Jiang Changning thought for a while, "Could it be the lock?"

"Almost, she can play the drums."

"Then I must see it some other time."

Amid the conversation between the two, Gao Yanyun appeared again.
