457 First Meeting with the Prince Consort (4)
Helian Yu eagerly poured her a cup of tea. “If only money could do it. This Dong Xian’er has a very strange personality. You have to be her guest to be qualified to talk to her.”
“How arrogant!” The Little Commandery Princess said coldly.
Dong Xian’er was known as the number one beauty in the Capital, so she naturally had the capital to put on airs. However, she did not let everyone wait for too long. Just as the door was filled with people watching the commotion, the candles in the hall were suddenly extinguished by the palm wind of an expert.
Twenty huge Night-Luminescent Pearls hung down from the roof by thin silver threads. Amidst the sparkling pearls, a woman in pink jumped down from the roof beam. Her body was as light as a swallow and her rainbow dress was so beautiful that everyone was stunned.
However, just as many people who had just arrived thought that she was Dong Xian’er, another woman in pink flew down. She was actually even more beautiful than her. A total of eight women jumped down from the beam. All of them had outstanding qinggong. They pulled open several white silk ribbons in the air.
At this moment, a crisp and pleasant silver bell sounded in the night. Countless petals fell from the dark top, and a golden lotus-like jade foot stepped on a white silk in the air. The silver bell came from the ankle chain.
Be it in the Great Zhou or Nanzhao, the feet were very private places for women. However, this person openly exposed it to others. This was almost no different from undressing. Some men had nosebleeds on the spot, and some disappointing ones were knocked out.
Yu Wan had lived for two lifetimes, but she had to admit that the person had a pair of fair feet that made women want to nosebleed.
She wanted to know Yan Jiuchao’s reaction and see if he was also tempted by such beauty. When she turned around, she saw him lowering his head, holding her fingers and playing with them one by one. He was as serious as a child who had just learned to count.
No, you should at least take a look at the beauty in front of you. After all, you spent so much money.
In such a short time, the other party had already landed on the platform. The white silk in the hands of the eight maidservants swayed and turned into a square curtain, enveloping the woman’s figure.
Yu Wan thought to herself that she had missed a million. Actually, she did not miss much. The woman’s movement technique was extremely fast. Other than seeing her bare feet, everyone did not see anything else.
“This is Dong Xian’er? She’s only so-so,” Jiang Hai said.
“Yes, she’s not as good-looking as Madam,” Qing Yan said.
“Madam is better looking.” Yue Gou mimicked him.
Yu Wan glanced at the three of them coldly. Could they wipe their nosebleeds first before bragging?
The commotion Dong Xian’er brought was not small. It was said that her appearance was different every time, but she could always shock all the guests. She was the dream partner of all the men in Nanzhao, but it was said that until now, she still retained her innocence in order to wait for her fateful person.
On the first and fifteenth of every month, she would meet a guest, but whether she could become her fated person depended on his luck. This poisonous rose was not so easy to pick.
The bidding began.
“I’ll pay five hundred taels!” In the middle of the hall, a rough-looking man spoke domineeringly.
In return, everyone laughed.
Did they hear wrongly? The number one beauty in the Capital was worth five hundred taels? Where did this country bumpkin come from? Didn’t they know that Miss Dong’s starting price was a thousand taels?
“I’ll pay a thousand taels!” A rich young master called out a price.
Soon, someone was not to be outdone. “Eleven hundred taels!”
“Twelve hundred taels!”
“One thousand and three hundred taels!”
“Fifteen hundred taels!”
The atmosphere in the hall instantly became lively.
The man who had been mocked earlier probably felt embarrassed. He gritted his teeth and slammed the table. “Two thousand taels!”
There was no silence in the hall. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted, “Two thousand five hundred taels!”
Yu Wan was dumbfounded. Are-are you all demons? He was just a guest of a woman. Moreover, he might not be able to touch her body. Why was he in a hurry to be a sucker?
“How much money do we have for our golden invitation?” Yu Wan asked Qing Yan.
Qing Yan thought for a while. “I’m not sure, but the Helian family is rich. If Madam wants to bid, you can go all out.”
Yu Wan rolled her eyes at him. “Anyway, it’s not your money, right?”
Qing Yan: “That’s right.”
Yu Wan : “…”
“Ten thousand taels!” A voice that made Yu Wan’s head hurt came from the corner opposite.
“Little Commandery Princess!” Helian Yu hurriedly stopped her. “It’s too much.”
The Little Commandery Princess raised her chin and said, “So what? I have plenty of money!”
But it couldn’t be ten thousand taels. Do you really think no one can find out about you? Helian Yu was about to kneel down in front of this little ancestor. After she shouted ten thousand taels, no one dared to bid anymore.
Dong Xian’er, who was inside the curtain, waved at the madam, who was laughing so hard that she was about to go crazy.
The madam entered the curtain. A moment later, she came out with an unhappy expression and said to everyone, “Xian’er said that we won’t bid today. We’ll change to another method. She will throw the embroidered ball and our musician will beat the drum. After the drumbeat stops, whoever the embroidered ball falls into will be her guest tonight.”
This was exciting!
Those who knew martial arts could do it without money. Those who didn’t know martial arts could just let their guards snatch it. It would be enough if they could snatch it and give the embroidered ball to themselves.
“Actually, I think we…” As Yu Wan spoke, she turned around and saw that Jiang Hai and the other two had already rushed to the front of the stage. Yu Wan silently said what she didn’t finish. “…have to talk about some tactics. Let’s not have internal strife.”
Jiang Hai knocked Qing Yan down.
