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

Princess Gaoping and Yang Xingye cooperated perfectly and each tricked one person.

Anyway, they didn't pay the money, and the two people who were cheated were not friendly to them.

They don't mind attacking those who are unfriendly to them while maintaining a good relationship with Chu Ning.

The first two sets of facial masks brought Chu Ning an income of 90,000 taels of silver, which made the emperor very excited.

If he hadn't been concerned about the large number of people present, he really wanted to pull Chu Ning aside and have a good talk.

After all, with so much money, who wouldn’t be jealous!

What’s more, these are just the first two sets of facial masks, there are still thousands of bottles to come.

But at this moment, the prince had a gloomy face and tried his best to control his anger.

Chu Ning, this damn bastard, why can he earn so much money, why doesn’t this money belong to me!

How could an illegitimate child get to such a state? How could he snatch away from me the opportunity to receive the envoy!

The more the prince thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more aggrieved he felt. His face turned red, but he didn't dare say it out loud.

All this silver was used by Chu Ning as military pay. No one dared to disrupt the mask auction at this moment, otherwise the emperor would definitely punish severely.

Thinking that his father would protect Chu Ning, the prince became even more depressed.

Watching Chu Ning auctioning the third set of facial masks, the prince angrily picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all.

At this time, Chu Ning smiled and said, "The third set of facial masks will be auctioned next, and the starting price is also 10,000 taels of silver!"

This time, Princess Gaoping and Yang Xingye did not deliberately raise the price, and Baili Xing successfully won the bid for 10,000 taels.

You must not be too obvious when you are acting as a spy. If everyone targets you, you will definitely be suspected.

And they seemed to have a tacit understanding. The next mask came in turn, and everyone won 12,000 taels of silver.

They knew very well that if they raised the price on their own initiative, others would definitely be unhappy, so it would be better for them to take turns and each person would do the deal at 10,000 taels.

But in this way, the following time seems redundant.

Chu Ning also discovered this problem after taking two rounds of photos, and couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that everyone has a tacit understanding and doesn't want to increase the price.

How about this, you guys divide the remaining masks, and the price is 11,000 taels!"

After hearing this, Zhao Wuji sneered: "Why do you want to add an extra thousand taels?"

Chu Ning shrugged and said, "If it was auctioned, I would get a lot of money, but you guys seem to have discussed it, which made me earn a lot less.

Of course, if you don’t want to, you don’t have to participate. I believe others will be willing to share your share.”

"you……"

Zhao Wuji glared at Chu Ning fiercely, but thinking that this was the Prince Chu's Mansion and the things belonged to Chu Ning, he could only snort coldly, flick his sleeves, turn his head and sulk.

I just like the look of you who can't stand it but can't get rid of me!

Chu Ning laughed secretly in his heart. If you don't make money, you are a bastard. With such a good opportunity, of course you have to exploit this group of people.

Seeing that Zhao Wuji was speechless, Chu Ning grinned, turned to look at the others and asked, "Everyone, what are your opinions?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Yang Xingye suddenly said calmly: "It's just an extra 1,000 taels of silver, this prince consort has no objection."

This is when the importance of support comes into play.

In this kind of situation, as long as someone takes the lead, others will be able to put aside their pride.

Princess Gaoping couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this: "It's only one thousand taels more for every hundred bottles. In fact, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is at a loss. This princess has no objection!"

As soon as the two of them spoke, Baili Xing, who had just taken the third set of masks without being stopped by others, felt embarrassed and immediately expressed his opinion:

"In that case, I agree."

Wei Donglai, Huo Quji, Yuan Tian and Princess Changping looked at each other again, and then all agreed.

In the end, Zhao Wuji was the only one left who was still sulking.

Chu Ning glanced at this person and said calmly: "Third Prince, you are the only one who has not expressed his opinion. I still have to have my wedding night in the future, so I don't have time to waste here with you."

Zhao Wuji was extremely angry, but everyone else had agreed. If he didn't agree, he would definitely become the target of public criticism.

What’s more, the mask belongs to Chu Ning and the pricing power is in his hands. What else can he do except agree?

"Since you all agree, how can I refuse?" Zhao Wuji said with a cold face, looking reluctant.

Thinking that Chu Ning would earn a large sum of money for military expenses, and that it would be used to deal with his own Great Zhao Dynasty, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a dead fly.

But he couldn't do anything to Chu Ning and could only watch Chu Ning earn money.

After Chu Ning had dealt with all the envoys, he waved his hand and said, "Since you all agree, I will send someone to deliver these masks to you tonight. However, you must pay the money. You have to pay the masks in one hand and the money in the other."

Princess Gaoping pretended to be displeased and rolled her eyes: "Don't worry, is it possible that I will be short of your little silver?

This princess has already brought in the money for these masks. I will personally bring people back with the masks later."

Chu Ning laughed: "Princess Gaoping is really open-minded, but this can't be blamed on me, because I'm used to being poor."

As he said this, he glanced at the emperor inadvertently.

The emperor's mouth twitched.

You guys just want to earn money, why do you have to involve me?

However, thinking that Chu Ning was born in the common people and that he had never taken care of him, and that he would go to the front line as a scapegoat after returning to Kyoto City, and that even the money he earned would be used as military pay, the emperor felt a little touched.

After all, I let down Chu Ning's mother and Chu Ning!

Forget it, just say a few words. I have treated him like this, so can't I allow others to say a few words?

However, the Queen at the side was somewhat displeased, frowning and whispering: "Your Majesty, the King of Chu's words seem to have some hidden meaning?"

The emperor pretended to be generous and said with a smile: "Forget it, I really didn't care about him before, it's normal for him to feel a little resentful."

The queen shook her head and said nothing.

At this time, Chu Ning smiled and looked at the officials: "Everyone, there are still 4,000 bottles of facial masks left. Do you want to auction them or buy them for 1,100 taels?"

The masks for princes and ministers come in sets of ten and are relatively cheaper.

However, considering the price paid by the previous envoys, it was reasonable for Chu Ning to raise the price on the spot, and the ministers naturally had no objection to this.

The first to speak was the Second Prince. Seeing that the Crown Prince had no intention of speaking, he immediately shouted, "Eighteenth Brother, I am willing to buy ten sets for 1,100 taels!"

"Well, the second brother is still straightforward!"

Chu Ning waved his hand and said, "Because the quantity is limited, each person is limited to ten sets. First come, first served, while stocks last!"

Compared to selling to envoys, the number of items sold to princes and ministers is limited, and the first person to bid gets it.

As soon as these words were spoken, the other princes could no longer sit still and began to speak up.

However, Chu Ning turned his gaze to the prince.

There is such a big sucker here, how can we let him go easily!
