The ugliest queen ever

Chapter 123 Chapter 130
The next day, Chu Yaofan was invited by Sikong Yue to the Lanling Hall early in the morning.The two served him imperial tea and some delicious pastries, and finally, Chu Yaofan got out all of Su Xueqing's plans this time.
Both of them couldn't help secretly admiring Su Xueqing's cleverness, her method was indeed good, she could get a large amount of wealth from the rich and powerful officials and gentry without the need of the emperor himself, and it didn't matter if it didn't work out or not. If you get it right, that's a lot of success in one fell swoop.
"Brother Huang, the auction that woman Su Xueqing mentioned seems to be very interesting!" Sikong Yue, who had been bored for a long time, was flustered when she was idle, and suddenly felt a little bit of fun, and immediately her phoenix eyes flashed with interest. color.Yes, if it was such a fun thing, how could he let it go.
While drinking tea, Chu Yaofan ate the things they deliberately rewarded him and said, "Yes, it's really fun. When my mother told me the rules, I was overjoyed. I never thought that such a fun thing would happen to me." .”
"Why is it so fun?" Sikong Jue felt sour in his heart, and asked back slightly displeased.
Chu Yaofan took a sip of his tea so that the contents of his mouth could be swallowed smoothly, and then said with a smile; "Of course it's fun, this time I also took the opportunity to take out an item for auction, and then brought out my Chu Yao Fan's identity, when the time comes, all women in the folk will be crazy about it. Because, I am Chu Yaofan who is popular among thousands of girls."
"Yeah, Brother Huang, I want to go too, and do something for the people of Yuecheng by the way!" Even though he said so, Sikong Yue had other plans. Yes, he just wanted to test his identity and prestige in front of him. How high the people can be, can it also cause a frenzy.Let those women compete for what he has, and compete with each other?
Of course, although Sikong Yue didn't say it clearly, those two people already knew it in their hearts.Moreover, in private, they have already regarded each other as opponents, vaguely intending to use their momentum to overwhelm the other party's limelight.
"Ahem... I also plan to do something for the people of Moon City!"
When Sikong Jue said these words, the surprised eyes of Sikong Yue and Chu Yaofan stared at him at the same time.
Sikong Yue's phoenix eyes were questioning and wondering, then she stroked her chin with her fair fingers and said, "Brother Emperor, you can find another excuse and tell me every time, can you have something new? Besides, you are the emperor Now, there's no need to steal the limelight from us, right?"
Chu Yaofan also said earnestly, "Yes, Your Majesty, why do you want to compete with us courtiers? If you lose at that time, wouldn't you lose face? This is not a matter of your own face, but It concerns the whole of Xidan."
After being exposed by the two of them, Sikong Jue's handsome face suddenly turned red, and he said angrily, "Ahem... what do you mean, my prestige can't be compared with yours? I don't believe it. Who dares to compare with me in terms of worth!"
"It's not a matter of identity or not, but if you go to the emperor, there will be ordinary people there. Even rich people would not dare to show off in front of the emperor! Besides, if you go to the scene , Why are you still auctioning and selling it, it’s better to grab it, as long as you say a word, how much money the common people have, you will just obediently hand it over, it’s more obedient than meeting bandits!"
"That's right, Yaofan's words are very reasonable. This time, it's not that I don't support you, but that you really don't need to go!"
Seeing that the two of them were arguing vigorously, and they turned into the same face for this auction, they thought to themselves, both of them were ambitious, and they tried their best to stop themselves, just wanting to lose a strong enemy to steal their limelight.The more they are like this, the more he, Sikong Jue, will not give up.
At that moment, he waved his wide sleeves, and said proudly, "Anyway, no one has seen me, so when the time comes, I can just pretend to be a private visit, can't I?"
"This..." The two of them didn't expect him to make such a move, and they were speechless for a moment.
"I just want to see in person that I'm better than you, no, better than everyone else, and the things I put out will definitely be able to compete for the highest price."
After hearing this, the two were equally speechless.The emperor is really confident, relying on the emperor's prestige to suppress people like this.However, I don't know if the common people will buy his account.
On the same day, Su Xueqing asked Chu Yaofan to send all the prepared tickets to Yeran's casino and Moxiang Building.
After three days, the city was full of wind and rain.All the streets and alleys, all the people's mouths are discussing this earth-shattering, weeping ghosts and gods novelty auction.
In front of him, there was a group of farmers who had enough to eat and had nothing to do during their lunch break, gathering to discuss.
"I heard that Zhang Dafu's son bought a ticket for a charity auction."
"Really? Wow, that kid made it. How much did he pay for it?"
"45 taels!"
"It's high, the girl from Moxianglou, the musician Chu from the Cixiang Auction is a good friend, as long as you get the ticket through her, it only costs 30 taels!"
"Wow, eh? So much less?"
"Of course, good friends must be different!"
"I've also heard that in the newly opened gambling shop, a housekeeper named Ye also has tickets in his hand, and they only sell 30 taels of silver per ticket."
"Well, it seems to be Master Chu Yue's sworn brother! This is also a privately transferred ticket, and ordinary people can't get it out."
"Hey, this is related, there is a back door, if we can get to know Music Master Chu, I don't know if it will be so cheap."
"It's just you? Forget it, who is Master Chu Musician, where is the royal musician next to the emperor!"
"you……"
"Don't quarrel, I haven't asked yet, what is this charity auction going to do? Why are all the tickets so expensive?"
"I don't know, I haven't heard of it, but it seems that some important person is about to come out."
"No, no, Master Chu Yue is the host. He is so handsome and talented. If we can meet him, it will be worth 30 taels."
"What is Music Master Chu? Miss Mo Xiang is going to sing on that day."
"Wow, Miss Mo Xiang is going too, so Xijing is going to be lively this time."
"Of course, the people who went this time were either rich or noble. They were all rich and powerful, and they were able to enter because of their ancestors' accumulated virtues."
"Oh, so what's the price, we can't go. Besides, I don't want to spend it if I have spare money. I really don't know what those people think. It's enough for ordinary people to waste dozens of taels of silver for this kind of thing." Live most of my life."
"Hey, if you say you are ignorant, you are really ignorant. Why did Master Chu Yue hold this charity auction? I heard that it is all for the people of Yuecheng. Although the money is expensive, it is not a waste of money. At least it counts as good deeds and helped Someone else!"
"Even if it's helping people, you don't need to pay so much, right?"
"Then you don't understand. This is value for money. You go and see, who are the people who go there? The emperor and the Ninth Prince both have things to show for auction. I also heard some news that the queen Will appear, you know? Empress, the Holy Mother who saved the entire Moon City!"
"Huh? Is she coming?"
"Yes, right now, all the people are scrambling for tickets outside the arena. Although they can't enter the arena, they are collected outside. At least she can see the empress's face when she passes by."
"Is there such a thing? Why didn't I know?"
"You still don't believe me if you say you are old-fashioned. We were all lucky enough to witness the last time my mother came back from Moon City. This time I also spent ten grains of money to buy a hard seat!"
"What is hard sitting?"
"There are hard seats and soft seats outside the venue. Hard seats mean that you bring a bench and sit ten meters away from the street shop. Soft seats are more expensive and cost [-] yuan. You can give a cushion and sit two meters ahead of us. .”
"Ah, it's so good, I can't miss it."
"Hurry up, tickets are tight now, if you're late, you'll have to go to scalpers to buy at a high price, and it won't be worth it then."
"Thanks for the reminder bro."
"I'm going too, I'm going too, tell me where I am!"
"The empress is coming, no, we have to see it, otherwise everyone will talk about it in the future, and we haven't even seen the figure of the empress, wouldn't it be embarrassing?"
"That's right, I can't lose the face of my ancestors. This time, I also want to see what our Virgin Mary in Xidan looks like."
The day before the auction, Su Xueqing's auction tickets were completely out of supply.The tickets in the hands of Ye Ran and Mo Xiang have already been swept away.
There are also sellers who are constantly asking the two to sell tickets, and some wealthy sons even come from far away because of this unprecedented auction.
"Your Majesty, I don't have any tickets, what should I do?"
"What do you mean?"
Chu Yaofan was anxiously wandering around the house; "Mother, now my father, my mother, my uncle and grandpa, seventh aunt, eighth aunt, ninth cousin, and tenth cousin have all found me, and they want me to beg One vote!"
"Why do they want this?" Su Xueqing glanced at him indifferently, and continued to play with the bonsai in her hand.I haven't cared about these flowers and plants for a long time, they are all overgrown, and I have to trim them when I have free time.
"Of course to participate in the charity auction!" Chu Yaofan was about to vomit blood, why was Su Xueqing not in a hurry?
"Then you sell them the tickets?"
"It's not about money now, it's because I don't have a single ticket!"
"Where are your tickets?"
"At that time, you said to send the tickets to some gambling house or Moxianglou, and I sent them all according to your instructions."
"And then?" Su Xueqing tilted her head, not quite understanding what she heard.
When Chu Yaofan begged her, he held back his patience and said, "I didn't know at the time that this charity auction would be so popular and so many people wanted to go. And it only took a day, and it seemed like everyone in the country knew about it."
"That means the propaganda is in place." It seems that Fengtang and the others have put in a lot of effort.
"Ma'am, I'm serious. Now my group of relatives all think that I'm the host, and they all know that I have extra tickets in my hand. Now they all ask me for it, and I can't get any of them!"
"Then print it!"
"The craftsman said that without your order, you can't reprint it indiscriminately. Otherwise, if there are counterfeit notes, what legal responsibility will you bear?"
"As long as you understand, kid."
"Your Majesty, think of a way. Now, even the venue of the auction, with a radius of ten miles, has been rented out. This...how can so many people spend this money to participate!"
Chu Yaofan, who didn't understand at all, asked with a bitter face.That's right, if he was a host, he couldn't even get tickets to let his relatives in, so would he be able to hold his face in front of them in the future?
"Why, co-author, you want me to sell none of them?" Su Xueqing glared at him angrily.
He explained helplessly again; "No, ma'am, I really didn't expect that there would be so many rich people in Xijing all of a sudden! Normally, when paying taxes, everyone would cry for hardship and poverty, but this time, it's... oh... ..."
"Hey, do people still report to you if they have money? If you have bad intentions, will you even shovel people's property?"
"This……"
"Okay, for the sake of helping me this time, I will help you too, order the craftsman to print. And your auction venue, expand it!"
"Is it still too late?"
"Send a notice, just say that the auction venue has a lot of enthusiastic people, and there are a lot of people, so it needs to be postponed for two days!"
"Okay, I'll do it now!" After getting Su Xueqing's permission, Chu Yaofan smiled like a flower blooming in spring, and immediately agreed.
