Chapter 81 Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet Auction
Mo Liuyun nodded to Xiao Shi again, and the two smiled knowingly at each other.
When Xiao Yi arrived, everyone hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects. To everyone's surprise, the usually aloof Prince Pingnan actually bowed to Xiao Yi and his wife as a junior!
This surprised Xiao Yi slightly, but fortunately, he had seen all kinds of storms, and it was just a junior's courtesy, which he could accept.
After everyone exchanged greetings, Xiao Yi laughed loudly and said, "Let's continue the competition, so that I can see what it means to 'throw a brick to attract jade'!"
Everyone: This isn't just throwing out a brick to attract jade; these are clearly pearls of jade already laid out! How can we even compare? Who can compose a poem better than these three?
Nangong Li scoffed: "Don't you all think that Miss Mo plagiarized and had someone else write it? Does anyone else have any doubts?"
If even a good-for-nothing can produce such excellent work, how can you, all of you renowned talents, be inferior to even a good-for-nothing?
"I'm still waiting to admire your masterpieces! Why aren't you all stepping forward now? Is it because the chrysanthemums here aren't the variety you like? Or the color isn't what you want?" He finished speaking, picked up his teacup with his right hand, skimmed the floating tea foam with the lid in his left, took a sip, and said, "Hmm, good tea!"
Everyone: How venomous!! The Prince of Pingnan is still the same Prince of Pingnan, his words are as venomous as ever, more venomous than arsenic and poison!
Everyone remained silent! Mo Zhixia clenched her hands tightly, the handkerchief in her hands was so crumpled and twisted that its original pattern was no longer recognizable. If it hadn't been in Mo Zhixia's hands, any old woman would have thought it was a rag!
Mo Zhixia was about to say something when Liu Siwan stopped her! She warned in a low voice, "Don't forget the important things. These are nothing. If we succeed, it's icing on the cake; if we fail, it won't matter much!"
Suddenly, a gentle voice rang out: "I concede defeat, Miss Mo. With such a gem before you, I will not embarrass myself further!" It was none other than the young master Li from the Li family of Minister Li of the Ministry of War!
With this beginning, the rest of the group, though unwilling, had nothing to say and all bowed in surrender.
"Oh~ So you all admit defeat~" Nangong Li's voice rang out, then he turned to look at the Prime Minister and Nangong Chun: "Since no one is willing to fight, I believe that Miss Mo should be the champion of this competition. What do you think, Prime Minister and Prince Qing?"
“Your Majesty is right!” Nangong Chun nodded, having to admit that Mo Liuyun seemed unfamiliar to him at this moment, yet he was unconsciously drawn to her.
"Your Highness is absolutely right! My niece is truly deserving of the title!" Prime Minister Liu nodded to Nangong Li.
Then she turned to Xiao Yi and Madam Mo and said with a smile, "The Duke of Protectorate is so lucky to have such a granddaughter. Madam Mo, you are also very fortunate to have such a granddaughter!"
Xiao Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Your Excellency, you flatter me. But my granddaughter is truly a rare gem! Haha..."
Even the matriarch of the Mo family gave Mo Liuyun a rare look of affection: "Prime Minister, you flatter me!"
Madam Xiao tugged at Xiao Yi's sleeve: "Father, keep a low profile! Keep a low profile!"
Xiao Yi nodded upon hearing this, but he couldn't help being happy. Chu Shi also took Mo Liuyun's hand and kept smiling!
"In that case, I hereby declare that the winner of the chrysanthemum-themed poetry competition at this chrysanthemum appreciation banquet is Miss Mo, Mo Liuyun! All the prizes for this occasion belong to Miss Mo!" Nangong Li's lips curled up in a smile!
Lian'er grinned and winked at Wushuang: See? I told you Miss would win!
Wushuang: I didn't say you couldn't win!
Mo Liujin: Sister is the best!
Qingyang: The princess's move is truly extraordinary!
Nangong Li: My lecherous wife is indeed the best!
After Nangong Li announced that Mo Liuyun had won the championship, some of those who had won prizes were convinced, while others were unwilling. For a moment, the crowd whispered among themselves, their expressions varied!
Mo Liuyun observed the expressions on these people's faces, stepped forward, bowed to Nangong Li, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness Prince Pingnan. Since these prizes belong to me, I should be able to decide how to handle them myself, right?"
“Of course! Miss Mo, please feel free to do as you please!” Nangong Li chuckled.
"Thank you all for your kind words. I have a few words to say. All of you here are from prominent families in Beili City. The reason we are able to compose poems and exchange verses here today is because of the beauty of nature."
All of this stems from Your Majesty's effective governance, the stability of the borders, and the bravery and fearlessness of the soldiers who fought bravely and relentlessly against the enemy. Without their sacrifices and protection, we would not have the peace and tranquility we enjoy today.
Every year, the casualty and disability compensation received by soldiers wounded in war, and by the elderly, women, and children who have lost their husbands and children in the war, is merely a drop in the ocean! Although Liuyun is a woman, she comes from a military family and is willing to do her part for these soldiers!
Therefore, all the prizes won today can be redeemed by you all for an equivalent value of silver. All proceeds will be registered and donated to the pension fund for wounded or injured soldiers! Please, Prince Pingnan, distribute this on my behalf. Liu Yun is deeply grateful!
After speaking, Mo Liuyun bowed to Nangong Li, who stepped aside to avoid it. Mo Liuyun's words were widely agreed upon by the military officers present.
Nangong Li was also deeply moved. He cupped his hands to Mo Liuyun and said, "On behalf of the soldiers, I thank Miss Mo for her righteousness. I am willing to offer one hundred taels of gold as my ransom, but I will give the jade pendant to Miss Mo to express my gratitude!"
Nangong Li then asked, "Are there any officials from the Ministry of Revenue here?"
A man stepped forward and said, “Your Highness, I am Liu Liang, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. What are your instructions?”
"As Miss Mo said, all the prizes should be valued, and all those who redeem them should be registered and reported to the Emperor tomorrow for use in compensation for the injured and disabled!" She then looked at Qingyang: "Qingyang, please assist!"
Just as Liu Shilang felt he had taken on a hot potato, he was overjoyed when he heard that Qingyang would assist! He immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will do my utmost to handle this matter well!"
The crowd was initially secretly pleased when they heard that a mere vice minister would be in charge of the registration; after all, the price and whether or not money would be paid were just a matter of a word! But upon hearing that Qingyang would be assisting, they all wore constipated expressions!
Mo Liuyun couldn't help but admire the Prince of Pingnan; his actions were so meticulous that no one could find an opportunity to take advantage of him!
Qingyang stepped forward and said, "Your subordinate obeys!"
"Wait!" Xiao Yi stepped forward.
Nangong Li looked at Xiao Yi: "The Duke of Protectorate?"
Xiao Yi cupped his hands and said, "Since this is for the soldiers, how could our Duke of Huguo's mansion be left out! This old minister is late and has not contributed any gifts, but I would like to do my part. The Duke of Huguo's mansion will contribute five thousand taels of silver!"
As Xiao Yi finished speaking, Mo Liuyun stepped forward: "In addition, the crystal ball we had earlier was a gift from my maternal grandfather. It can be auctioned off, and the highest bidder wins. All proceeds will be used as pensions for the soldiers!"
After saying that, Mo Liuyun winked at Xiao Yi and shook Xiao Yi's hand!
Xiao Yi immediately understood: "Yun'er truly lives up to her reputation as a descendant of a military family! She's even willing to part with such a precious item!"
"It's all because I've heard so much about the horrors of the battlefield from my father. I just want to do my part!" Mo Liuyun said with emotion. In modern times, she was a national special agent and also a soldier, so she genuinely wanted to do something for them, not just to win their hearts!
Finally, Mo Liuyun's glass marbles went up for auction, and Qingyang became the temporary auctioneer once again.
Qingyang: I am truly multi-talented! This palace would fall apart without me!
Qingyang cleared his throat: "The auction for Miss Mo's crystal ball will now begin, with a starting price of 1000 taels! Each bid must be at least 50 taels higher!"
Mo Liuyun's eyes twitched violently when he heard the price of 1000 taels!
Nangong Chun offered 1100 taels!
Princess Nanyang bid 1200 taels!
"1300 taels!" Nangong Chun bid again!
Princess Nanyang raised the price again, offering 1400 taels!
Nangong Chun bowed to Princess Nanyang and said, "My lady, my mother's birthday is approaching, and I intend to bid on this item to give to her. I humbly request that you part with it! I would be extremely grateful!"
Upon hearing this, Princess Nanyang's expression changed. On the surface, it was a plea, but in reality, it was a threat!
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stopped bidding. Who would dare to compete with the Imperial Concubine for something? It would be like lighting a lamp in a latrine—a death wish!
Seeing that no one else was bidding "1500 taels", Nangong Chun proudly bowed to the crowd in thanks!
Qingyang: "1500 taels per time!"
"1500 for two times!"
A clear, cool voice rang out, carrying a casual tone: "1550 taels!"
