"Hmph, Ning Wang!"
The moment the voice from the other side rang out, the expression of the originally calm and composed Prince Xin changed on the spot.
He glared at the man who was talking in the private room opposite him and snorted without hesitation."This is the gift this king gave to Lord Ling, what are you trying to do by interfering? This king offers thirty thousand taels!"
Whoosh!
The Warm Fragrance Pavilion was in a clamor. Everyone was shocked.
It was common for people to be jealous of each other in brothels. It was also common for people to compete for a woman. However, when such a thing happened to the two princes of the Ming Dynasty, it was undoubtedly shocking.
Especially when these two princes were bidding against each other for this woman and giving it to another person!
This was simply inconceivable!
"The new Lord Ling of the Embroidered Uniform Guards?"
"Could it be that Lord Ling who rose from the Embroidered Uniform Guard to the Northern Garrison Guard?”
"I heard that even the South Garrison's Office is now following Lord Ling's orders. The original commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Tongzhi, has disappeared for a long time!”
"This is the first time in the hundreds of years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty that such a person has appeared!”
"No wonder!"
"Prince Xin and Prince Ning clearly wanted to be on good terms with this Lord Ling, but they didn't expect to bump into him here. I'm afraid that neither of them would take half a step back!”
"Of course. If we give in now, wouldn't we appear inferior to the other party?!”
"This is going to be a good show!"
Whispers rang out. Everyone in the Warm Fragrance Pavilion could not suppress the curiosity in their hearts as they enjoyed this good show.
As expected, after Prince Xin made the bid, Prince Ning raised his hand without hesitation."Forty thousand!"
"Fifty thousand!"
Prince Xin's eyes flashed with a cold light, his face so gloomy that water could drip out.
This sudden change was clearly not within his expectations, so when he saw Ling Chen's half-smile, the humiliation and anger in his heart was indescribable.
In truth, Ling Chen was quite interested in this show.
He had never thought that his first night in the Ming Dynasty would be so interesting.
As he thought about this, he couldn't help but turn his gaze towards Zhou Miaodan, who was still playing the zither on the third floor. Although she was trying her best to maintain her composure, the anger and shame on her face were almost uncontrollable.
To a woman, falling into the dust was already a lifelong trauma. On the night of her combing, such a thing actually happened...
Even so, if she continued to bid, her net worth would very likely create an unprecedented record!
However, the higher the value, the more humiliated she felt!
Suddenly, her delicate body trembled and her face turned pale.
"100,000!"
Prince Ning was expressionless. After saying these three words lightly, he looked at Prince Xin with a cold smile."What this king lacks the least is money. Today, this king will definitely give this favor to Lord Ling!”
As his words spread, even Ling Chen couldn't help but admire his courage.
After all, before this, not only did he not have any relationship with Prince Ning, he had never even met him-there was no doubt that Prince Ning had a very powerful intelligence organization under him, and they knew very well what Ling Chen had done during this period of time!
This was the only possibility that could explain why he was willing to go against Prince Xin to get to know Ling Chen!
"Sameboat party?"
Ling Chen's eyes flashed, and the smile on his face widened.
At this moment, Prince Ning's bid shocked everyone.
Prince Xin flew into a rage out of humiliation and was about to continue bidding when Lu Wenzhao finally couldn't help but step forward and say,""Your Highness, Prince Ning is rich. The Brocade Guard and the East Chamber have not found out his true background, which means that he must have a way to make money in secret. However, he does not have any real power in the court.”
Prince Xin's body trembled slightly as he finally came to his senses.
He looked deeply at Ling Chen, and suddenly stood up and walked in front of everyone.
"Two hundred thousand!"
When he said these three words, his facial muscles were trembling. After he finished speaking, he stared at the brothel madame and said,"This is this king's final price. If you dare to accept any more bids, this king will have the Ministry of Rites seal your Warm Fragrance Pavilion!”
As these words spread, the Warm Fragrance Pavilion fell into a dead silence.
Everyone looked at him in disbelief. They had never thought that the dignified Prince Xin, in order to please the Embroidered Uniform Guard's Lord Ling, would compete with others in bidding. Not only was his wealth inferior to the other party, but he was actually using his power to suppress others!
The brothel madame was stunned.
Prince Ning, who was opposite him, was also stunned. Then, he laughed unscrupulously," I didn't expect that the face of Prince Xin would only be worth two hundred thousand taels of silver. Hahahaha…"
His smile caused Prince Xin's expression to turn indescribably ugly.
But then, he smiled coldly.""Benwang is just a free king. Other than the income from the fief, it is also the reward from the imperial court and the emperor. Naturally, it can't compare to His Highness Ning Wang. There are so many people rushing to give you money to spend!”
Without a doubt, these words were heart-wrenching!
Ning Wang's smile suddenly stopped, only then did he realize that he was a little too pleased with himself. If these words were to reach the ears of the imperial envoy, tomorrow's report of his corruption and bribery would probably be filled with the Emperor's imperial case!
He frowned and was about to speak when a faint voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
"Enough."
Ling Chen finally spoke. He glanced at Lu Wenzhao, his tone calm but filled with an unquestionable dominance,"After the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the Warm Fragrance Pavilion will close its doors. Those who are still here will be invited to the Imperial Guards Imperial Prison to drink tea.”
As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if a dense chill had swept over. The temperature in the huge Warm Fragrance Pavilion suddenly dropped by a few degrees.
Everyone's expression changed drastically, but no one made a sound.
Obviously, this voice could only come from one person. It was the recently popular Embroidered Uniform Guard Lord Ling. However, no one present had expected that this Lord Ling's style of doing things was even more arrogant and domineering than Prince Xin and Prince Ning!
As soon as he opened his mouth, he closed the door of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion!
He even wanted to chase away everyone present!
Including Prince Ning!
How arrogant was this?
Lu Wenzhao's body trembled.
In that instant, he could clearly feel Prince Xin's gaze fall on him, but he sighed in his heart and still carried out Ling Chen's orders. He slightly unsheathed his Embroidered Spring Blade, and looked at the brothel madame as he shouted,"Didn't you hear what my lord said?”
The brothel madame came to her senses and subconsciously looked at Prince Ning.
This king, who had been incredibly arrogant just a moment ago, had a dark expression on his face. After hesitating for a moment, he clasped his hands at Ling Chen and said,"Since Lord Ling has gotten a beauty, this king will not disturb Lord Ling's elegant mood, farewell!”
As he spoke, he really led the people around him and left the Warm Fragrance Pavilion in large strides!
Everyone was stunned.
How dare a dignified prince offend a thousand men of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?
This was the first time he had seen something like this in the hundreds of years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!
