Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Chapter 1561 A good start.

"A confused heart?"

Li Shimin turned around and looked at Li Shen.

"Your name is quite appropriate. If you are not in a confused mood, you can't draw such a picture."

Li Shimin sneered.

Li Shen felt a little embarrassed. He had originally wanted to name it "Naoxin", but later he realized that "Naoxin" was a bit too relevant to the theme and not subtle enough.

That’s why Li Shen changed his name to “Confused Heart”, which actually means being upset.

"Hehe, hehe, Aye is really my confidant. Only someone as wise as Aye can understand this painting."

Li Shen smiled awkwardly and flattered the person at the same time.

"Humph, you are not ashamed of this but proud of it? How is this different from fraud?"

"Yeah, fraud is stealing money, and I didn't steal money." Li Shen argued.

I thought to myself, this is all for your reputation, not for me. Besides, did you give me the money?

The bidding has already started, and the second vice-president Wang Hongfu did not give such a low starting price.

The starting price is ten strings of coins, and each increase in price requires at least ten strings of coins.

The process is similar, with a slight price increase. The merchants are more enthusiastic, while the officials are relatively calm.

In the end, it was Ashina Liang who stood up and shouted for ten thousand strings of cash.

At this point, no official offered more than 10,000 yuan.

Li Shimin waved his hand, and Wang De stood on the second floor and shouted:

"The Queen offers two hundred thousand strings of cash to help the good cause of Prince Ji's Mansion."

"Wow~~~~"

The crowd below was boiling again. Two hundred thousand strings of cash! This was no small sum of money. Spending two hundred thousand strings of cash just for a painting.

It seems that the Queen is really kind.

Wang Hongfu was the first to shout:

"Her Majesty, be merciful!"

The others also stood up, saluted towards the second floor and shouted.

The Queen walked to the side with a smile on her face, and everyone saluted:

"See the Queen."

“No need to be polite. Today is the charity auction of Prince Ji’s Mansion. I am very pleased that my son can do such a good deed.

This king also hopes that you can do your best to help those in need."

Empress Changsun said a few words and then stepped back.

Everyone knew that it was the Queen Mother who was supporting Prince Ji.

It seems like Prince Ji is serious this time.

Only Li Zhi had a gloomy face in the private room, especially when he heard the Queen say, "I am very pleased that my son can do such a good deed."

He felt that this sentence was a slap in the face of them, the legitimate sons.

Li Shen was just a concubine's son, but now the Queen treats him with the same affection as the legitimate son. It's just because he has a little money.

"Damn Li Shen, he actually deceived my mother like this. Is he going to use our money to do charity?

Can’t we do it ourselves?”

Li Zhi cursed indignantly under his breath.

"Your Majesty, be careful of ears. Prince Ji's move this time just happened to suit the wishes of His Majesty and the Queen.

"Your Majesty, please don't do anything reckless." Li Yifu behind him advised.

"Humph, I know this, but I just feel uncomfortable. Why do people donate money to do charity?

In the end, all the good reputation was taken away by this bastard."

Li Zhi snorted.

"Your Majesty, this is the wisdom of Prince Ji. He doesn't need to spend his own money, but uses everyone's money to do good deeds. Not only can he gain fame,

It will also gain more appreciation from His Majesty and the Queen, killing two birds with one stone."

Li Yifu even admired Li Shen a little.

"Damn it, this method is so simple, why didn't I think of it?"

Using the opponent's force to counter attack, bluffing, these are tactics in the art of war, and I have never thought of them before.

If I think of it and do it first, not only will my reputation among the people soar, but I will also be able to make a good impression in front of His Majesty.

"Your Highness, then tell me, should we pay for the purchases later?" Li Yifu asked.

"Humph, I won't buy it. I will never pay to be used by that bastard Li Shen."

Li Zhi immediately rejected it. He would not spend money to help Li Shen improve his reputation.

After hearing this, Li Yifu hesitated to speak:

“But....but, if Your Majesty were to do so, would Prince Ji write about it in the newspaper?

You didn't pay for writing about the prince, so what if he makes up a story and says that the prince has no good heart?"

"This..." Li Zhi was stunned and speechless.

What Li Yifu said was not impossible. That guy could do anything, and he didn't get along with him.

He wrote nonsense in the newspaper, making up stories about himself, and he had no way to stop it.

"Damn it." Li Zhi slapped the armrest heavily.

The third auction item has been brought up. This time the painting is even bigger, two meters square, but it’s colorful and you can’t tell what’s going on.

"Is this the masterpiece you specially left for me?"

Li Shimin turned around mechanically and looked at Li Shen with a puzzled look.

Li Shen nodded. After the embarrassment just now, he was no longer embarrassed. That's how he gained thick skin.

"That's right, Aye, I drew this picture myself. It took me a full quarter of an hour to complete it. I drew it very carefully."

"Two quarters of an hour? It's really hard for you to take so long. Come, explain to me what this painting is about."

Li Shimin's face was full of disgust.

He was going crazy. He couldn't understand any of the three paintings.

He wondered if this rebellious son had drawn this when he was ill.

"Aye, this painting is named Chaos. According to legend, before Pangu created the world, the world was in chaos and colorful.

At that time, the great god Pangu...”

"Okay, okay, stop talking."

Before Li Shen could finish his performance, Li Shimin waved his hand to interrupt him.

I have really been blinded by greed and actually asked this rebellious son.

At this moment, Wang Hongfu has already explained the third painting, which is nothing more than the mysterious things that Li Shen just mentioned.

The process was no different from before. In the end, it was Ashina Liang who stood up and shouted for ten thousand strings of cash.

Everyone is now speculating whether Ashina Ling was a hired helper of Li Shen, or whether he wanted to befriend Prince Ji's Mansion and deliberately gave money.

Or really want to do good.

This time it was Wang De who walked over and said loudly:

"Your Majesty has ordered that a sum of 300,000 strings of cash be offered for the charity of His Royal Highness Prince Ji."

"Your Majesty is kind!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately stood up and saluted Li Shimin.

"I am the ruler of a country, so I must set an example for such good deeds.

I hope you can also contribute your strength.”

Li Shimin didn't say much, as saying too much would make him seem like an emperor who was begging for money.

After saying a few words, Li Shimin returned to the private room.

There was nothing else for him to do. He came here to improve his reputation as Li Shen had mentioned.

The fourth item for auction was soon brought up. It was a piece of porcelain from an official kiln.

It was an ordinary item that Li Shen had someone take from the official kiln, or it could be said to be a defective product.

Wang De shouted loudly that this was an authentic official kiln piece, but the officials all saw that the porcelain was very ordinary and no one was willing to take it.

Only those merchants began to compete to bid.
