Chapter 866: Chapter 866: Did Nangong Ye Win Against General Lu?

Nan Feng immediately nodded and then stood up to walk towards the Emperor to take the wine bottle. She then said to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, would you please inscribe two characters on the bottom of the bottle? For example, ’double happiness’, ’peace’, and the like."

The ceramic on the underside of the bottle wasn’t polished, so writing on it wasn’t difficult. The Emperor quickly wrote the characters for "peace." Nan Feng thanked the Shun Emperor, then took the bottle back to the center and looked at those seated, saying, "This bottle bears His Majesty’s personal inscription, and since His Majesty has used this wine bottle, it indicates that this is a vessel blessed with Dragon Qi. Keeping it at home can ward off evil spirits. Who would like..."

Just as Nan Feng was about to say "forty taels of silver," Tuoba Lie interrupted her, "Surely many people would want it. Let’s do this by auction, highest bidder wins, and I will start with forty taels."

Many seated there naturally wanted the wine bottle with the Emperor’s inscription. Soon, someone offered sixty taels, then eighty taels, and in the end, a twenty-tael wine bottle astonishingly sold for two hundred taels.

If the Shun Emperor hadn’t called a stop in time, the price might have risen even higher.

The Emperor was quite satisfied with Nan Feng’s performance. She was very calm and composed and also good at thinking on her feet. She was indeed much better than the previous Huahua, and it was no wonder that Tuoba Lie was so infatuated with her.

Looking at Tuoba Lie now, his whole heart was on Nan Feng. His eyes hadn’t left her from the beginning to the present.

The Shun Emperor couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly.

His son indeed didn’t resemble his former self anymore.

All the money collected from the sale of the bottle was in cash. Nan Feng quickly hid the money to prevent Tuoba Lie from snatching it away.

Seeing her actions, Tuoba Lie couldn’t help but clicking his tongue, "Aren’t you fighters supposed to regard gold as dirt? Are you being bought over by a mere two hundred taels of silver, which is equivalent to just two thousand yuan in soft sister currency?"

Indeed, why did she seem to go starry-eyed at the sight of money, like a wolf spotting a lamb?

Was it because she was poor? Or... was she naturally greedy for money?

"I’m just naturally greedy for money. I don’t care what you say—this money is mine, and nobody is going to snatch it away from me."

"But do you know where to spend it?" Tuoba Lie asked somewhat helplessly.

"Can’t I just save it if I don’t spend it?"

"..." Tuoba Lie arched his eyebrows and smiled with a roguishly handsome expression.

...

In the Dajin Dynasty.

Within the Yangxin Hall, Eunuch Wan was reporting to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, the result of General Lu’s martial contest for marriage has come out."

"Oh? Did someone defeat General Lu?" The Emperor remembered that Lu Jianxi had said if she met someone she liked, she would definitely lose.

"Your Majesty, General Nangong Ye defeated General Lu."

The Emperor was reviewing petitions at the time and, upon hearing the words "Nangong Ye," he inadvertently drew a long line on the petition and it was too late to correct it.

"Nangong Ye? Is he going to marry Lu Jianxi?" It was still unclear whether Nan Feng was dead or alive.

"Your Majesty, this humble servant infers that General Nangong doesn’t intend to marry General Lu. Because this afternoon, a Mu Tuo from Dashun arrived. This Mu Tuo is extremely ugly and thus certainly unsuitable for General Lu. Mu Tuo challenged General Lu, and General Nangong intervened to save the day."

On hearing this, the Emperor frowned, "Can’t you speak to the point when you talk? Finish what you have to say in one go instead of being so disjointed."

Knowing he had erred, Eunuch Wan could only kneel down, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Enough, enough," the Emperor gestured dismissively, "Stand up."

The Emperor was quite annoyed, "So, it seems General Lu is going to end up unmarried again, isn’t she?"
