The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability

Everyone looked toward the source of the sound and saw Prince Pingnan, without even raising his head, leisurely sipping his tea with his right hand holding a teacup and his left hand holding the lid!

Nangong Chun's face darkened, but she dared not speak disrespectfully to Nangong Li, so she had no choice but to raise the price: "One thousand seven hundred taels."

One thousand seven hundred and fifty taels

"One thousand nine hundred taels"

"One thousand nine hundred and fifty taels"

No matter how much Nangong Chun offers, Nangong Li will raise the price by fifty taels!

Nangong Chun's face turned even uglier. That damned Nangong Li was clearly doing it on purpose!

He gritted his teeth and declared, "I will offer five thousand taels!"

Nangong Li didn't even raise his head: "Five thousand and fifty taels!"

Nangong Chun was furious: "Ten thousand taels!"

Nangong Li: "Ten thousand taels!"

Before Nangong Li could finish speaking, Nangong Chun interrupted, "Third brother, I intended to bid for this crystal ball to celebrate Mother's birthday!" Nangong Chun said through gritted teeth.

Nangong Li looked up and nodded to Qingyang!

Qingyang: "Ten thousand taels once! Ten thousand taels twice!"

"Oh, what a coincidence! My birthday is coming soon. Since my leg injury, I haven't been able to take it out often, so I planned to buy this crystal ball and hang it in the stable so it can play with it on its own. Since the Imperial Concubine likes it too, I'll give it to her!"

After Nangong Li finished speaking, Qingyang shouted, "Ten thousand taels three times! His Highness Prince Qing has won this crystal ball with ten thousand taels! Congratulations, His Highness Prince Qing! Would you like to pay in cash or settle the bill at your residence?!"

Mo Liuyun was drinking tea when he couldn't help but spit it out with a "pfft!" He almost choked on his tea! The Prince of Pingnan and his servant are truly amusing; they're a real pair of clowns!

Qingyang winked at Nangong Li: "Your Highness, I cooperated well, didn't I? Even the Princess Consort is smiling!"

Nangong Li smiled and raised an eyebrow: Well done! Go back and collect your reward!

Nangong Chun's face was ashen at this moment. He held the crystal ball, unsure whether to throw it away or keep it!

Humiliation, blatant humiliation! That damned short-lived bastard, I'll get my revenge sooner or later!

Nangong Chun took the crystal ball and walked towards Mo Zhixia. Mo Zhixia also heard Nangong Li's words and saw the King of Qing walking towards her with the crystal ball.

I couldn't help but take a step back. What I had once so desperately wanted was now something I wanted to avoid at all costs!

But in the end, Nangong Qing still handed the crystal ball to her, saying, "I imagine young girls like you even more than Mother Consort."

"No, this is too precious. I am unworthy to accept it. Please leave it to the Imperial Concubine!" Mo Zhixia took another step back and refused.

"I'll give you this one first, and I'll find another one to celebrate Mother's birthday next time!" Nangong Chun placed the crystal ball in Mo Zhixia's hand without room for argument, then turned and left!

"Pfft!" Mo Liuyun couldn't help but raise his teacup to Mo Zhixia, saying, "Sister, you are so lucky! His Highness the Prince of Qing has spent a fortune just to please you!"

The expressions on everyone's faces varied. Some were disdainful, as everyone knew that His Highness Prince Qing was Miss Mo's fiancé, yet he was now spending a fortune on crystal for his sister-in-law!

Some people envy Mo Zhixia for winning the favor of the Prince of Qing with her beauty and talent. She is destined to marry into the royal family, even as a concubine, she will still be included in the royal family register!

Mo Zhixia's face turned pale and then red, and she could only force a smile: "Sister is joking! His Highness Prince Qing is just doing this out of respect for you and wants to help the soldiers guarding the border!"

Mo Liuyun: "Then I really have to thank Your Highness Qing for your generosity!"

Liu Siwan stepped forward and quickly said with a smile, "Today we've also arranged a talent show for the girls. A stage has been set up in front, please move over!" Following Liu Siwan's guidance, everyone arrived at the open space in front of the garden, where they saw four items displayed on a high platform: qin (a stringed instrument), qi (chess), shu (calligraphy), and hua (painting). There was a palm-sized hole on the top of a square box.

"Everyone, today's competition is different from usual. We won't compete in what we're good at. Instead, we'll draw lots to choose our talents, and we'll compete in whatever we're chosen!" Mo Zhixia stepped forward to explain.

Upon hearing this, some people were eager to try, while others were apprehensive. Those who were proficient in all four areas were naturally not afraid, but those who were only good at one or two were afraid of being drawn for an area they were not good at! Not wanting to miss this opportunity to show off, they gritted their teeth and went on stage!

The referees have also been selected: the Prince of Pingnan, the Princess of Nanyang, and Lady Wang of the Ministry of War.

Before long, more than a dozen young girls were standing in the venue, their voices tinkling and their jade pendants jingling, a feast for the eyes. Mo Liuyun did not intend to participate, but stared at each beauty with a lecherous look, his eyes shining. Every now and then he would whisper a few words to Lian'er, praising her fair skin, beautiful face, slender waist and long legs!

Nangong Li: What kind of taste do you have? Are those women as good-looking as me? If I wore women's clothes, I would be ten times better than them. My legs are even longer!

Looking at the women on the stage, Nangong Li asked Qingyang, "Are those women pretty?"

Qingyang looked it over and said seriously, "It's quite beautiful!"

Nangong Li: "Hmm?" The "hmm" was followed by a lingering syllable.

Qingyang immediately said, "Not as pretty as the Princess Consort, no! Not as pretty as the young lady!" Qingyang wanted to say that she wasn't as pretty as the Princess Consort, but after saying "Princess Consort," he realized he should change his words.

After speaking, she glanced guiltily at Nangong Li and saw that the prince's lips were upturned and he was not angry. She became even more certain that the prince liked the girl so much that he wanted to marry her and take her home as his princess!

Nangong Li interjected, "They're not as beautiful as the princesses I chose. But Qingyang, tell me, are they more beautiful than me?"

Qingyang: Your Highness, are you serious? I don't know the answer to this question! In the past, when people compared you to a young lady, you would have been beaten to death or crippled! I don't want to die, much less be crippled!!

Seeing that Qingyang remained silent and looked troubled, Nangong Li said again, "Do you think she has bad eyesight? I am much better looking than them. Why is she looking at them with such interest, but not even glancing at me?"

Qingyang then realized that his master was jealous, so he smiled and said, "Master, aren't you wearing a mask right now? Plus, you are now the Prince of Pingnan, who wouldn't want to live and stare at you? Your beauty surpasses theirs by more than ten times!"

Nangong Li was pleased: "Well done! You'll be rewarded when you return to the manor! Your monthly allowance will be doubled!"

Qingyang: "Thank you for the reward, Master!" (Thinking to himself: This surprise came too suddenly!)

Just as Mo Liuyun was enjoying the show, she suddenly heard a sweet, coquettish voice call out, "Big sister!"

Mo Liuyun looked up and saw Mo Zhixia standing on the stage at some point. She walked up to her and looked at her with a gentle expression. Mo Liuyun got goosebumps: "What is it?"

"Just like how the eldest sister just threw out a brick to start the competition and won first place, she won something from everyone else and then stopped competing, right? This time, I'll follow the eldest sister's example and bring out this purple jade hairpin as a prize."

"I wonder what other good things you have to offer as prizes for the competition, big sister?" Mo Zhixia's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone on the stage to hear.

Mo Liuyun smiled charmingly as she looked around at the dozen or so girls on the stage: "Is that what you all think too? And you insist on inviting me to participate in the competition?"
