Yi Xin as a concubine

"Oh my, it's already half a million so quickly. I thought there wouldn't be many bidders. What should I do?" Master Xin anxiously walked to the window and looked down.

"Brother, why don't we just forget it? I'm afraid we don't have enough money. We can't delay His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's business."

Seeing that the prince was still in deep thought, the third master stood up and approached his eldest brother, and spoke in a voice that seemed low but could be heard by the prince.

When the prince heard that the money was not enough, he had nothing else to think about. He originally had brought some money with him, but now that his younger brothers had arrived, he might not be able to get the bid at the price he had originally planned. He couldn't lose the big picture for the sake of a small one.

It’s just a woman. I’ll find another one later.

"You'd better focus on bidding on the rare stone. After all, my brothers won't let me take it easily." The prince said coldly.

Upon hearing this, the originally anxious Master Xin's expression suddenly darkened. After thinking for a while, as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly walked in front of the prince and knelt down with a plop.

The Third Master was startled and quickly went over to help the man up.

"Brother, what are you doing? We can't make things difficult for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Hurry up and get up, Eighth Girl, let's think of a solution."

"What else can we do? That girl is timid to begin with. If she is found out in the first round of examination, she will not be able to survive. You know I have loved her the most since she was a child. This is tearing my heart out!"

Master Xin was in tears and had a lot of snot, looking extremely pitiful.

"Alright, alright, father-in-law, please get up. I won't let her run for election."

The crying stopped abruptly. Master Xin looked at the prince eagerly, not sure if he had heard it wrong, and asked hesitantly, "Really?"

"Yes, yes, big brother, you should get up quickly. Your Highness the Crown Prince is as good as his word and he must keep it. Get up quickly and don't let the servants laugh at you."

Mr. Xin Sanye pulled the man up impatiently, with a hint of disgust in his tone.

Master Xin seemed not to be aware of his third brother's emotions. He relied on his third brother's strength to stand up, but halfway up he suddenly broke free from the third master's pull and knelt back down.

"What's wrong again?" The prince was obviously a little impatient. The next item to be auctioned was a rare stone, and he had no time to care about a crying old man.

"It's too late. By the time we go back the list will have been submitted." He was about to fall to the ground and cry again.

"I will arrange for someone to go back as fast as possible to remove your daughter from the list and help him get back on his feet."

The prince signaled to Master Xin San with his eyes to help the man up quickly, and then called a guard over in front of the two of them and explained the matter.

After seeing the guard leave, Master Xin stood up tremblingly and bowed to apologize to the prince.

"I'm sorry for my rude behavior, Your Highness. Next, the Xin family will definitely help Your Highness get the strange stone to repay Your Highness for his kindness."

Mr. Xin's solemn words finally melted the coldness on the prince's face.

The sound of a sold item came from downstairs, and the scar-removing and skin-regenerating cream was sold at a high price of two hundred taels.

When the prince heard the price, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved. Fortunately, he didn't agree to the old man, otherwise he would have suffered a great loss. With two hundred taels, he could have cultivated several women of different styles.

He glanced in the direction of Master Xin and saw that he still looked regretful. He couldn't help but feel more satisfied with his decision.

Just when the three of them were secretly proud of themselves, heavy footsteps were heard downstairs, as if some huge monster had arrived on the stage.

All three of them stood up and looked downstairs, and saw two shirtless, muscular men grunting and carrying a huge object covered with a red cloth onto the stage.

At the same time, people in several boxes also stood at the windows and looked down.

The beautiful hostess glanced around the venue with her eyes moving around, and smiled sweetly again. Amid the curious and expectant gazes of the crowd, she raised her slender hand slightly, exerted a little force on her wrist, and the red cloth that was covering the room slipped off instantly.

"Hiss!" A series of gasps were heard.

Uncle Xin and Uncle Xin San had another silent conversation, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes. Although they knew some inside information, they didn't expect it to be so realistic.

"What you see now is our islanders, who risked their lives not long ago to salvage the "longevity" shaped stone from the depths of the sea."

The host has a clear voice and beautiful vocal lines, which is so moving that people can't help but listen carefully.

"The main body of this strange stone presents a clear "Shou" shape, as if it is a masterpiece of nature, specially carved for longevity and blessing. Its lines are smooth and the brushstrokes are graceful, and every detail shows a unique artistic charm.

The surface of the strange stone is as smooth as a mirror, exuding a mysterious luster. Its color is deep and rich, as solemn as black jade, and as mysterious as the endless deep sea. If you look closely, you can also find that its surface has delicate textures, like an ancient scroll, recording the traces of time. "

"Great, that's it, I must get it."

As soon as the host finished speaking, the prince spoke with a solemn vow, staring at the strange stone greedily, his eyes surging with a gleam of determination to obtain it.

"The starting price for this deep-sea stone is 100,000 taels of silver. Each bid increment must be no less than 1,000 taels. Anyone interested may start bidding."

"I'll give 100,000 taels, just in time to celebrate the birthday of my family's ancestor." As soon as the host said start filming, someone in the audience shouted.

"What the hell are you dreaming about? I'm giving you 110,000 taels. This gift is very prestigious." Another person shouted and added another 10,000 taels in one breath.

"One hundred and one thousand taels!"

"One hundred and twenty thousand taels!"

"One hundred and twenty thousand taels!"

……

"Don't fight with me. I'll give you 500,000 taels to celebrate my ancestor's centenary birthday."

The host looked at the crowd below the stage, which had quieted down instantly after being hit by the 500,000 taels, and asked at the right time: "Is there anything higher than 500,000 taels?"

"I'll pay 510,000 taels!"

"Five hundred and fifty thousand taels!"

……

"One million taels!"

With the constant encouragement of the host, the strange stone finally reached a new height, and at this time no one sitting in the stands was bidding.

The host wisely looked towards the boxes, waiting for higher prices.

Sure enough it didn't take long.

"One million and one thousand taels!"

"What a stingy guy! I'll give you 1.5 million taels!"

"Two million taels!"

Hearing this voice, the prince sat up straight. He narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Old Five, you are so brave!"

"Two million and one hundred thousand taels!" After receiving the signal from the prince, Mr. Xin made his first bid.

After the other princes got involved, the price of the strange stone was quickly raised to five million taels. The prince's eyes turned red, as this number had already exceeded his expectations.

"Your Highness, we are online!"

Uncle Xin carefully looked at the prince's face, which was almost distorted with anger, and spoke in a low voice.

"Five million and one hundred thousand taels!" At this time, another price was called out in the box.

"You are so arrogant. If you can't pay when the time comes, you might get kicked out of this building." The prince seemed to have heard the voice of the price being shouted and spoke sarcastically.

"I still have some energy left, so please don't worry about me. Maybe you feel sorry for me and want to leave some money for me to buy rice?"

The prince became even angrier when he heard this, and shouted downstairs, "Five million and a half taels!"

"Five million five hundred and ten thousand taels!" The man's voice was slow and even contained a mischievous smile.

"Which hero is this? Please spare me a hand!" Seeing that the prince's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this voice, it was obvious that this was not someone he knew. Master Xin San immediately understood and spoke politely.

"Sure, sure!" the man replied kindly.

"Thank you!" The third master said, and signaled his eldest brother to bid.

"Five hundred and fifty-two... twenty thousand taels!" Uncle Xin acted very nervous, giving people a guilty feeling.

The prince glanced at the two brothers of the Xin family and saw that they were both sweating profusely, and he couldn't help but feel a little contempt for them.

Merchants are merchants, they really can’t stand the big scenes!

"Five million five hundred and thirty thousand taels!" That cynical voice came again.

"Six million taels!" The prince had exhausted his last bit of patience at this point, and raised the price by nearly half a million taels as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Brother, you are wealthy and powerful. I am willing to admit that I am inferior to you." The man's voice was no longer cynical, but revealed a hint of regret.

This realization made the prince in a good mood, and the pain in his heart was alleviated a lot.

"Promise, accept, accept!"

Anyone can hear the pride in the voice!

After the last lot was sold, the auction finally ended. When the heavy door of Heqilou opened again, the prince and his entourage walked out of the main entrance with the heavy strange stone.

The prince's wish was fulfilled and his face was full of smiles. He did not notice that the two masters of the Xin family were slowly falling behind the crowd.
