Traveling through ancient times: starting with live streaming

Prince Rong quickly stood up and stood between the two of them: "It's so hot, please stop arguing. It's such a formality at a palace banquet."

After Emperor Lin left the table, Prince Rong Fengduo became the most respected in terms of status and position.

Of course, Prince Duan may not agree in his heart. He sneered and did not take Prince Rong seriously.

Zhou Chang didn't want to get too excited. If she lost this time, she would not be able to do business in the future. "Brother Rong, don't worry about it. It's only natural to accept defeat and repay debts."

Prince Rong was a modest gentleman, always gentle, and didn't care about the two's attitudes. Instead, he thought: "How can the sound of the cicada be counted as silver? Ninth brother, don't make a fuss. There are so many people, who can be counted as the one who hears it? This doesn't make sense. It's better to do as you said just now, one pill for one hundred taels of silver."

Wow, Prince Rong is really generous.

Zhou Kaifang offered a sky-high price, leaving room for bargaining in the future, but he did not expect Prince Rong to agree directly.

After all, she came here to make money, not to fight. But seeing that Prince Duan was really unhappy, she wanted to stretch it out: "Brother Rong's suggestion is very good, but if this is the case, I will lose a lot. The Qingjing Pill has a cost, but I obviously won the bet. There should be thousands of cicadas on this tree, and tens of thousands of cicadas chirping."

Prince Rong smiled gently, "Ninth brother, don't joke. Even if you have so much, you really want the ministers to pay so much silver. How about this, 200 taels each to buy a pair of your little balls, that's all."

Zhou Chang glared at Prince Duan, then turned around and glanced at everyone: "What about you?"

Prince Rong had already spoken, what else could be said? Moreover, this wax ball was indeed magical, they had never seen it before, so they all nodded.

Zhou Chang was not satisfied yet, and pointed at Prince Duan: "Others can do it, but not Brother Duan. Brother Duan, since you don't want the wax ball, then you should accept the loss."

"Don't even think about it." Prince Duan shook his chin, wishing his chin could turn into a blade to cut off Zhou Chang's fingers.

"Ninth brother, what's wrong with you? Today's palace banquet is a rare day for harmony and joy." Prince Rong quickly held Zhou Chang's arm down again, and said to Prince Duan, "Third brother, you are also the elder brother, why can't you give in a little? How about this, you and I each pay another 300 taels, and even if we represent all the ministers, we will accept this bet."

Prince Duan's expression was uncertain, but he didn't say anything.

Prince Rong smiled with relief, thinking that he agreed.

Zhou Chang only wanted to make money, so he had to quit while he was ahead.

At this moment, Feng Shuo came back from the other side, still looking excited: "Nineth Brother, the ladies are all very amazing, praising you."

"No need to praise me," Zhou Chang asked, almost forgetting that half of the people were on the other side. "Go and tell them that originally this was a bet, but someone lost and refused to admit it. I don't want to make a fuss. As for the ladies, you can't accept their money. Just take out some small items you carry with you to show your appreciation."

Walking on two legs, Zhou Chang never forgot the hundreds of orders that he had been holding when he was still Xiao Lan.

"Well..." Even children would feel embarrassed when saying this, and Feng Suo is no exception.

Zhou Chang was not ambiguous and directly ordered the skinny monkey: "Monkey, go with the twelfth prince and explain my intentions clearly. I believe the ladies in the harem will understand."

Sooner or later, she will have to choose between money and face.

The skinny monkey didn't have any concerns about this and agreed painfully: "Yes."

Once Zhou Chang made up his mind, he no longer had to be polite and simply started collecting banknotes from the ministers.

It was no problem for these officials to take out three or five hundred taels at a time, let alone spend two hundred taels to buy something new.

It's not difficult to collect the money.

But he also encountered those who went out without any banknotes, which was even more favorable to Zhou Chang. He picked up some ornaments from the other person and used them as a substitute.

Jade pendants, crowns, jade plaques, rings...

Pick what is valuable.

After searching for a long time, Zhou Chang recognized all the people and took a lot of things. His chest was full and he looked very satisfied.

After a tiring journey, I returned to my seat.

Prince Rong Fengduo also gave her his own five hundred taels and the five hundred taels he asked from Prince Duan.

Zhou Chang didn't need to count them anymore, he put them all in his arms, and when he raised his head he caught a glimpse of Prince Duan opposite him.

Prince Duan was standing up as if to leave the table, but he was still filled with resentment, and pointed at Zhou Chang: "You are so despicable as to leave traces when the wind blows and pluck feathers when the wild geese pass by..."

"Third brother," Prince Rong shouted, not letting Prince Duan continue, "After all, we are brothers from the same clan, so please be gentle with your words."

Prince Duan was so angry that he was shaking all over. He flicked his sleeves and strode away.

"Thank you, Brother Prince Rong, for your protection." Zhou Chang said sincerely.

She knew what Prince Duan might have said just now.

Prince Rong smiled bitterly, picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all: "We are all the same, you don't have to care about what he said."

"Well, I don't care." Zhou Chang really didn't care that much, but he intuitively felt that Prince Rong was even more unable to let it go, so he also smiled bitterly.

Prince Rong said nothing more. He stood up and patted Zhou Chang on the shoulder: "I'm going to go see my mother. You should go back early too."

Zhou Chang nodded and watched Prince Rong leave. His back actually looked somewhat lonely and desolate.

"Your Highness, today is not only Concubine Yi's 55th birthday, but also Concubine Shun's 57th birthday." The skinny monkey came back at some point and whispered a reminder in his ear.

"Ah..." Zhou Chang was surprised.

"The two ladies were born on the same day, but on this day every year, no one ever mentions Concubine Shun." The skinny monkey said again.

No wonder?

No wonder Prince Rong’s temper just now seemed to be worse than any other time Prince Yi Fengming could remember.

Zhou Chang shook his head, not knowing what else to say. He glanced and saw the skinny monkey carrying another wooden box over.

There were only a few wax balls and brocade boxes left inside, replaced by a few pearl hairpins and rings worn by the female members of the family.

The thin monkey took out a stack of silver notes and handed them to Zhou Chang: "Your Majesty, many ladies said that since the price is clearly marked, it is better to buy it directly with silver notes instead of exchanging ornaments."

"Okay." Zhou Chang took the banknotes and stuffed them into his arms. At the same time, he threw all the accessories he had "plundered" from the officials in his sleeves into the wooden box.

Finally, he reminded her: "Monkey, pack up the untouched plates and bowls on the table and put them directly into the empty box. It's hot today, so I didn't eat much. Pick up the fresh fruits."

"Okay," the skinny monkey just reached out to pick up a peach to eat, but then he became worried, "But, Your Majesty, they all said so, and there are so many people here today..."

"It's because they said that I can't bear such a reputation in vain. I'd better take it if I don't." Zhou Chang took a big bite of the peach. "It's a pity that all the plates and bowls have been replaced with copper today. I guess they are not as valuable as the Japanese silver."

"Your Highness is right." The skinny monkey no longer had any worries and put everything he could scratch into the box.

At this time, the table where she was sitting was empty, and Zhou Chang fell into silence.

Just now, Prince Duan was about to curse, but Zhou Chang was still conscious, but Prince Yi Fengming's consciousness had already surged.

From today on, she will be known as "the wind leaves traces, the wild geese pluck feathers". Knowing this, she did these things, but Prince Yi Fengming's consciousness never reacted. However, in the end, he was still angered by Prince Duan.

She does not have the self-restraint of Prince Rong, nor the tolerance of Prince Yi.

From now on, Prince Yi will not be blamed for nothing, nor will Prince Duan be easily angered. "There are no dirty words in the world. If you teach them too much, you will have everything."
