Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

The wedding is over and the wedding banquet begins.

Many tables and chairs had already been arranged in the courtyard of the palace. Following Chu Ning's order, the servants brought up the food.

The aroma of the food and wine aroused everyone's appetite, and under Chu Ning's arrangement, everyone took their seats.

Chu Ning naturally sat in the main seat, but because he was the groom, after toasting the emperor and the empress, Chu Ning left his seat and toasted other seats.

Today was a wedding, so everyone had to give Chu Ning some face. Every time they came to a table, a group of officials stood up.

For a moment, the atmosphere was filled with joy and everyone was toasting each other, making it very lively.

However, some people are happy and some are sad.

The prince originally sat in the main seat, but in order to prevent the emperor from seeing his gloomy face, he deliberately found an excuse to toast and went to other tables to drink to relieve his sorrow.

Zhao Wuji was sitting at the envoy's table, his face as gloomy as water, and he was also drinking continuously.

Even if other people were looking for someone to drink with, he would act as if he was not interested.

Princess Gaoping was also speechless at the moment. How could Shen Wanying, who was so proud and arrogant, allow Chu Ning to accept those two courtesans?

Moreover, Chu Ning had Feng Mulan kicked out of the palace yesterday, and Shen Wanying also left in anger. Why is she still willing to marry Chu Ning today?

Princess Gaoping couldn't figure it out and didn't understand why Shen Wanying would compromise.

While he was deep in thought, Princess Changping sneered and said calmly while holding her wine glass: "Today is the wedding of the King of Chu. Princess Gaoping, don't you want to go over and toast?"

Seeing her opponent suffer a setback, Princess Changping doesn't mind suppressing the opponent at this time.

Princess Gaoping, who was already holding back her anger, looked gloomy and snorted coldly, "Does this princess need your consent to toast?"

Princess Changping raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a hint of smile: "This princess is just a kind reminder, why are you so angry?

What, are you unhappy that your two courtesans didn't complete the task you assigned them?"

"you……"

Princess Gaoping's face changed and she stood up suddenly to refute.

But at this moment, Great Yan's Prime Minister Baili Xing suddenly coughed and said, "Princess, please listen to what I have to say."

As soon as this person opened his mouth, the two of them stopped immediately, and even Wei Donglai, Huo Quji, Yang Xingye, Yuan Tian, Zhao Wuji and others on the side all looked over.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Baili Xing said calmly: "Today is the wedding day of His Royal Highness the King of Chu. If there are any conflicts, you can choose another day to resolve them.

Besides, the mask auction is going to take place tonight, and I’m sure you all want to get a piece of the action. If you cause trouble now, the mask auction will definitely be postponed.”

Upon hearing this, Princess Gaoping and Princess Changping looked a little unhappy.

They have personally tested the effectiveness of this mask, and as women, loving beauty is their nature.

Especially Princess Changping, whose skin had become wheat-colored due to practicing martial arts. Now that there were facial masks, of course she wanted more.

If you can use facial masks to improve your skin without interrupting your martial arts practice, it would be the best of both worlds.

Thinking of this, Princess Changping snorted coldly, turned her head and looked away without saying anything.

When Princess Gaoping saw that Princess Changping didn't say anything, she immediately sat down with a stern face.

Baili Xing smiled slightly: "That's right, come on, let's all taste the cooking skills of the chef from Prince Chu's Mansion."

The old official’s approach is different. With just one sentence, he temporarily suppressed the conflict between the two.

In order to ease the atmosphere, others toasted each other.

The banquet went smoothly and time passed quickly until evening.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they started chatting.

"Isn't it about time?"

"It's already evening, and I'm just waiting for the mask auction."

"Who said it wasn't? My wife is waiting for me to buy her a bottle of facial mask."

"Who says it's not true? My husband and several of his daughters all want facial masks."

Chu Ning heard every word of what the crowd said. He looked up at the sky and saw that it had darkened. Then he waved his hand to signal Ni Heng to bring up the facial mask.

Soon, many guards came into the yard carrying several large boxes. When everyone saw this, the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet.

Even the queen's eyes lit up, and she quickly reached out to pull the emperor who was still drinking.

At this time, Chu Ning stood up and said with a smile: "Everyone, I have prepared a facial mask auction for you tonight!

I believe everyone is already aware of the efficacy of this product. Even the Queen, Princess Gaoping, and Princess Changping all praised it highly. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Zaixing said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, Prince Chu, just tell me how much silver you want for a bottle. I will take all of it!"

Princess Gaoping sneered at this and said, "Prince Consort Yang, I know your Yang family is not short of money in Dajin, but in front of us, your money is really not enough."

As she said that, she turned to look at Chu Ning and said, "How do you want to auction this mask? King Chu, please give us a word!"

As a trustee, they are very competent and Chu Ning is very satisfied!

Chu Ning looked at Princess Gao Ping with appreciation and chuckled, "There are 10,000 bottles of facial masks this time, 6,000 of which are divided into groups of 100. The envoys will bid for them, and the highest bidder will win!

The remaining 4,000 bottles were divided into groups of ten, and the princes and ministers would bid for them, and the highest bidder would win. "

The bottles are packed in groups of one hundred, specifically for these messengers to snatch.

The bottles were divided into groups of ten and were for princes and ministers to fight over.

With so many facial masks, some must be distributed to princes and ministers, otherwise it will cause public outrage.

The financial resources of these people are far less than those of the envoys, so they can only change to groups of ten bottles.

Of course, the total number of facial masks is actually 15,000 bottles. 10,000 bottles will be auctioned, and the remaining 5,000 bottles will be prepared to be shipped to Da Zhou and Da Jin later.

This was an agreement reached long ago with Princess Gaoping and Yang Zaixing, and it was also the reason why the other party was willing to act as a stand-in.

Sitting on the main seat, the emperor showed a look of satisfaction on his face after listening to Chu Ning's arrangements.

Such an arrangement takes into account the interests of both the envoys and the princes and ministers, without offending either side!

But at this time, the queen beside her frowned and whispered, "Your Majesty, do you think I will bid for it too?"

Judging from the situation, Chu Ning doesn't want to give herself the mask.

The emperor knew the queen's thoughts, and couldn't help but laugh: "Didn't Princess Chu give you a facial mask before?"

The Queen was a little unhappy, but Shen Wanying had indeed given her a facial mask, so she couldn't say anything more.

While the two were talking, Princess Gao Ping said loudly: "After all this talk, King Chu, you haven't mentioned the price yet. We can't just let them name whatever they want, right?"

Chu Ning grinned: "The starting price for one hundred bottles of facial masks is 10,000 taels, the highest bidder wins."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone felt relieved.

At this price, a bottle is only one hundred taels, which is acceptable to them.

Princess Gaoping's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately shouted, "I'll bid for the first group, 11,000 taels!"

Chu Ning laughed secretly in his heart.

This trust is quite competent!

Tonight, I will make a fortune!
