Chapter 156: Auction (2)
The next morning, everyone in the Tianxiang Mercenary Group followed Liu Xiaoyu's arrangements, completing tasks, investigating intelligence, and others staying on standby. At this time, Mo Qingtian and Liu Xiaoyu were walking to the palace.
on the road.
"Father, Emperor, Mother." As soon as Mo Qingtian entered the Fengluan Palace, he took Liu Xiaoyu's hand and greeted the Emperor and Queen hurriedly.
"Oh? Qingtian is back!" In the main hall, two middle-aged men and women with serious faces were sitting, who were Mo Qingtian's parents, while under the hall, there were more than 20 young men and women of various colors sitting on both sides.
It's like a blind date meeting.
"Qingtian, who is this?" The one who spoke was the queen. She had a kind and majestic face. It was obvious at a glance that she was a good mother and a very capable person in power.
"Mother, this is the daughter of the powerful man in Liu Yuncheng, Liu Xiaoyu. She is also my beloved." Mo Qingtian said to his mother. While saying this, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He really regarded Liu Xiaoyu as his own.
He has a future wife, so all this is not just a show.
Originally, he was afraid that the Qi family would recognize Xiao Yu and cause trouble, but Xiao Yu insisted on using the name Liu Xiaoyu, and he no longer objected.
"Oh?" The queen glanced at Liu Xiaoyu. She was a beauty, and there was a hint of arrogance between her eyebrows. She was just born a little low, which would not help the emperor inherit the throne in the future!
The emperor and the queen did not want to disgrace their son in front of everyone, so they did not say anything. They just asked Mo Qingtian and Liu Xiaoyu to take their seats. The discerning people here naturally knew it clearly, and all the female relatives looked at Liu Xiaoyu with amusement in their eyes.
A sign of contempt. Most of the men here were amazed by Liu Xiaoyu's beautiful face, but they didn't show it.
The emperor and empress asked people to place tables and chairs around them and let Mo Qingtian take a seat. Liu Xiaoyu was placed at the end of the palace. It was obvious that Liu Xiaoyu's arrival was not welcome.
"Brother Qingtian, Shang Yue proposes a toast to you and welcomes you back!" As soon as Mo Qingtian took his seat, a ladylike woman walked towards Mo Qingtian's seat.
"Haha! Shang Yue still likes Qingtian so much. Why don't we settle the matter sometime? Only a big family like the Qi family is worthy of our Qingtian!" The speaker was the Emperor Mo Haokong. His move was to make Liu Xiaoyu know.
It is difficult to retreat, my son is a dragon among men, and his wife must be from a big family like the Qi family to be worthy of him!
Liu Xiaoyu, who was sitting at the end, was playing with the cup in his hand, as if he didn't hear the emperor's words at all. He just raised his head and glanced at the Qi family member named Shang Yue. Well, he was a little better than Qi Yanyan, but he was also a fool!
Mo Qingtian, who was sitting at the top, was a little unhappy. His father clearly told Xiao Yu on purpose. Fortunately, Xiao Yu didn't care, otherwise... thinking of this, Mo Qingtian was unwilling to talk to the woman named Shang Yue.
He has not forgotten the last time the Qi family chased Xiao Yu!
"Brother Qingtian!" Shang Yue, who was standing in front of Mo Qingtian, saw that Mo Qingtian ignored her and looked at him sadly.
"Your Majesty, why don't you take the drink?" The queen immediately frowned when she saw her son being so disobedient.
Mo Qingtian didn't want to, so he stood up from his chair and said, "Father, my son has something important to discuss with you!"
"What can't be said tomorrow?" Emperor Mo Haokong's voice suddenly changed, as if he was about to get angry at any time.
"No, it's very important." Mo Qingtian's attitude was tough. He didn't want to stay here for a moment. He was annoyed just by looking at this group of women!
"Go to the study!" The emperor examined Mo Qingtian for a few minutes before saying. Mo Qingtian wanted to take Liu Xiaoyu with him, but when he saw that the emperor's face was extremely ugly, he had to give up. He looked back at Liu Xiaoyu, and Liu Xiaoyu gave him
He stopped looking at him with a look that he could handle, and he had no choice but to leave.
"Liu Xiaoyu, right? How did you and Qingtian meet?" As soon as Mo Qingtian left, the queen's expression changed. She drove everyone in the palace away, leaving Liu Xiaoyu alone.
"We met in the Dream Forest."
"Then when will you fall in love?" The queen seemed dissatisfied with Liu Xiaoyu's concise answer.
"I don't know." Liu Xiaoyu touched her nose. She was not in love at all. How could she know?
"Are you trying to deal with me?" After hearing Liu Xiaoyu's two concise words, the queen became angry. This Liu Xiaoyu didn't take her seriously at all.
"No, I'm just stating the facts." Liu Xiaoyu didn't understand why the queen was angry.
"Okay, you go down!" The queen rubbed her forehead and told Liu Xiaoyu to go down. Such a country girl who doesn't understand etiquette can't even think of entering the royal family!
The whole day finally ended, and Liu Xiaoyu was arranged in a remote palace far away from Mo Qingtian. During this period, about a dozen women came to trouble her, including princesses, official ladies and even the emperor's concubines.
She sent them back one by one.
During this period, Mo Qingtian came several times. After he told the emperor about the fake prince, the emperor immediately launched an investigation into the current prince, but nothing was found, so he could only wait for the banquet on the tenth day.
More protective work has been done.
News also came from Qian Duoduo. The news said that not only the fake county prince had connections with Liyun Kingdom, but even the Qi family, who controlled the economic lifeline of Moyun Kingdom, also had deep connections with Liyun Kingdom and the fake princess.
And it seems that the banquet ten days later has probably changed again due to the intervention of the Qi family. Three days after arriving in the palace, Liu Xiaoyu and Mo Qingtian were planning to go to the guest house to see what happened.
Qian Duoduo and the others had any latest progress, and at this moment, they met someone.
"Second Prince, are you here for shopping today? Are you here for today's auction?" Liu Xiaoyu and his wife, who were on their way to the guest house, met the young men and women who were in Fengluan Hall that day.
one.
"We are just hanging out, but we don't know about the auction!" Mo Qingtian replied when he saw that the man in front of him was Shang Shaokun, the eldest son of a merchant, one of the eight aristocratic families. Shang Shaokun was the eldest son of a merchant, so he was called Shang Da.
, Mo Qingtian had many fights with him when he was a child.
"Oh my God, there is a Chongbao Ding Yuan Pearl sold in this auction, and you didn't even know it!" Shang Da looked at Mo Qingtian in surprise. This auction has been something that everyone has been looking forward to for a long time, just because this time
The Ding Yuan Pearl is a kind of bead that can store the soul. If a person's body has died, the soul can be stored in it to look for opportunities for rebirth.
"We are concerned about this..."
"Wait a minute." Ding Yuanzhu? Isn't it one of the eight medicinal materials needed by Shi Tian to reshape his body? Liu Xiaoyu had a big idea in her mind and said, "Let's go too!"
"Oh? Okay. The auction will start in two hours, but there will definitely be a lot of people this time. Why don't you go there with me and wait first?" Seeing that Liu Xiaoyu wanted to go there, Shang Da invited them to go with him.
