The group's favorite, the blind princess is both a doctor and a poisoner

The auction will not begin until one stick of incense is burned.

The hall was packed with guests, and people from outside were still coming in one after another.

The personal attendant Tingfeng went to the shopkeeper to get the room card and handed it to Lu Zhan.

"Yue'er, let's go. Our private room is on the second floor."

Su Yuejian nodded in agreement, and several people followed the leading servant up to the second floor.

Fang Xiaoxuan, who had just stepped into the hall, saw Lu Zhan going upstairs and her eyes lit up. She was about to follow him, but she saw him talking and laughing with a woman in purple wearing a veil beside him, and gently supporting the woman.

Fang Xiaoxuan paused, a trace of jealous anger rising in her eyes. She twisted her handkerchief tightly in her hands and shouted at the maid beside her,

"Who is that woman! Didn't you say that Master Lu came out on his own today?"

The maid shuddered with fear, "This...I don't know either."

Fang Xiaoxuan stared at Su Yuejian fiercely until the two of them entered the private room together.

She had been in love with Lu Zhan for many years, but Lu Zhan never looked at her more than once, and even rejected her seriously without listening to her confession.

She was unwilling to give up! As long as Lu Zhan hadn't married, she still had a chance!

But the way Lu Zhan treated the woman just now was something she had never seen before.

The jealousy in her heart instantly ignited.

With a hint of anger between her brows, she turned and sternly shouted at the maid, "What are you standing there for! Go get the sign! I want the private room next to theirs!"

In the elegant and spacious private room

Su Yuejian was sipping jasmine tea, while Lu Zhan was drinking Qingshan Yunwu.

Su Yuejian sighed, "The owner of this Wanbao Pavilion is really rich. They just took out such hard-to-grab tea and treated the guests to it."

Lu Zhan took a sip of tea and nodded with satisfaction.

"That's right. If there's anyone who can rival the Xie family's Shuiyunjian in terms of financial strength, it's Wanbao Pavilion!"

Su Yuejian nodded.

The waiter came in with several plates of cakes and placed them on the table.

Lu Zhan and Su Yuejian were stunned when they saw so many pastries.

Tingfeng said, "Brother, you must have sent the wrong one." Pointing at the lychee pastry, lotus cake, and jasmine cheese on the table, he said, "These are not what we ordered."

The servant said with a flattering smile, "You two nobles happen to be the 200th guests of our pavilion today. This is a gift from our Wanbao Pavilion."

"You two, please use it slowly."

After saying this, the servant bowed and walked out.

Tingfeng muttered, "There is such a thing? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

Lu Zhan didn't care. He looked at the dishes in front of him, which were all Su Yuejian's favorites. He moved the plate towards Su Yuejian and said, "Yue'er, try it."

Su Yuejian felt quite lucky and didn't think much about it.

She picked up the jade spoon and tasted the crispy mountain, and her eyes lit up.

"It's delicious! Third brother, try it too!"

After saying that, she brought another pastry mountain in front of him, and distributed the pastries to Yuzhu, Yinxin and Tingfeng who were standing beside her.

Yuzhu and Yinxin were already used to it, so they didn't bother to be polite with Su Yuejian and just took the food and ate it.

Tingfeng felt a little embarrassed when he saw Su Yuejian enthusiastically sharing cakes with him.

Although he had always heard that the princess was approachable and treated her servants very gently, everyone in the Duke's Mansion liked and praised her.

But he had been busy with Lu Zhan in the Ministry of Justice, and would only see Su Yuejian at dinner time.

After meeting her today, I found that the princess is indeed kind and gentle.

Ting Feng suddenly felt that the milk cake in his hand was even sweeter.

Lu Zhan looked at Su Yuejian with a doting smile in his eyes.

Wanbao Pavilion Top Floor

In the quaint and luxurious room, the shopkeeper Chen Mai came in bowed and saluted respectfully to the man sitting in the upper seat.

"Your Majesty, the things have been delivered."

Xiao Heng nodded slightly, "I'll remember all these things from now on. I'll prepare them in advance next time I see her."

Chen Mai bowed and said "Yes", then walked out.

After leaving the room, Chen Mai looked at Su Yuejian in the private room on the second floor downstairs, and his heart was filled with excitement.

After all these years, the prince finally got it!

He had long heard that Princess Minghua was unrivaled in Tianjin for both her beauty and talent. Finally, there was a woman that the prince could take a liking to!

The prince has never been interested in women, and the old marquis has been worried to death about the prince's marriage over the years!

No! He had to quickly send a message to tell the old marquis this great news!

Chen Mai thought about it and immediately walked downstairs in a hurry.

After a stick of incense

Shopkeeper Chen Mai walked to the huge display stand that had been prepared in the middle of the hall, bowed, and said loudly,

"Thank you all for attending today's Wanbao Pavilion auction. We've also specially prepared precious treasures unearthed from centuries-old tombs. Please look forward to it. Now, I declare the auction officially open!"

The servant brought the first item and placed it on the display stand.

Chen Mai said, "The first treasure to be auctioned today is the Greedy Fish Lamp. This lamp is made from the oil extracted from the fat of the South China Sea croaker. If you use it to illuminate a loom, it will be dim and dim. Or if you use it to illuminate a banquet, it will be exceptionally bright. It will burn brightly, regardless of wind or rain."

"Starting price: one hundred taels."

Guest 1, "One hundred and fifty taels!"

……

Guest 2, "Two hundred taels!"

Su Yuejian took a closer look. There was nothing special about the lamp except its peculiar shape. Yet, it was sold at such a high price!

Seeing her leaning forward, Lu Zhan tilted his head in confusion and explained to Su Yuejian,

"Those people are sea merchants. Fish lanterns are very useful for their fishing trips at sea."

Su Yuejian nodded.

No wonder, this lamp is not afraid of wind and rain and is indeed very important at sea.

"Five hundred taels! Deal! Congratulations to this customer!"

The servant took the greedy fish lantern and retreated, and then another person brought another tray covered with a red cloth and placed it on the display stand.

"This second lot, ice silk..."

Su Yuejian watched with great interest. When she didn't understand something, Lu Zhan could tell at a glance and patiently explained it to her.

As the lots passed by one by one, Lu Zhan saw that Su Yuejian was very excited with each lot coming out, but he never saw her ring the bell to bid.

He couldn't help but feel puzzled, thinking that she was worried about the money.

"Yue'er, just bid on whatever you like. Don't worry about spending money. Grandfather said that even if we bid on all the items, our Duke's Mansion can afford it."

Su Yue was startled, then turned around and smiled.

"Third brother, Yue'er is not afraid of spending money, but I have everything I need. Even if I take these things back, they will be of no use."

Lu Zhan didn't quite believe it, and he always thought she was still worried.

"It's okay, just buy it for fun. Take a good look at it and tell me if you like it."

Seeing that he was so persistent, Su Yue didn't know what to say and nodded slightly.

In fact, she might really want something, but it depends on what Xiao Chengchang wants.

The auction was already half over, but Xiao Chengchang hadn't said a word. Could it be that he wasn't here to buy anything, but just to watch?

Just as he was thinking about it, Chen Mai's voice sounded from below.

"Next lot, the Mengyi Flower. This flower has an enchanting, intoxicating fragrance and hallucinogenic properties. It can be used as both a drug and a poison. It grows on cliffs and blooms only once every three years, making it extremely difficult to pick. Starting price: fifty taels."

There was a pot of Dream Flower on the display stand. The pink petals were so beautiful under the sunlight that Su Yuejian couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"One hundred taels."

"Room B3 offers one hundred taels!"

Hearing the servant's voice, Su Yuejian raised her eyebrows slightly.

Room B3?

Xiao Chengchang wants this flower?

Su Yuejian immediately turned around and said to Lu Zhan, "Third brother, that flower is so beautiful, can I buy it and take it home to grow?"

When Lu Zhan heard this, he immediately became excited!

"Of course! Not to mention one pot of flowers, even dozens of pots are no problem!"

He immediately signaled to Ting Feng La Ling, "Two hundred taels!"

"Room A4 bids two hundred taels!"

It's rare for Yue'er to get something she wants, so he must get it. Otherwise, if he goes out and brings Yue'er home empty-handed, his grandfather and father will scold him to death if they find out!

Su Yuejian raised the corners of her lips slightly.

Although this Mengyi flower is rare, its efficacy is much worse than the Secret Shadow Flower on Chaowu Mountain, and it only looks slightly more beautiful.

However, no matter what Xiao Chengchang wanted, Su Yuejian didn't want him to succeed.

Besides, Xiao Chengchang now has that poisonous old monster by his side, so he will definitely take the flower back to make poison, and she will not let him succeed!
