After I killed him for 9,000 years, he was reborn.

"Forty thousand taels..."

A clear female voice suddenly came out from the rightmost room in the private room on the highest floor of the 4th floor where direct royal relatives can go up, making a quotation.

The words 4 taels were like a slap in the face to Tong Guoan and Tong Wencai.

"It's really a joke. Everyone knows that the highest bidder wins at an auction. We can't stop others from bidding just because one person likes it. There are people who are so powerful under the feet of the emperor.

Today I also like this jade pendant, and I offer 4 taels..."

Tong Guoan, the uncle of the emperor who was known as Tong Bandhao and the governor of the Nine Gates, had never been so humiliated in public before. He was so angry that the flesh on his face was shaking.

"Dad, what should I do?"

Tong Wencai asked in a low voice.

"What else can I do? Keep bidding...

Only girls and villains are difficult to raise. I don’t bother to argue with a little girl, even if she is a princess. I have lost my status for nothing. You go and bid for her…”

Tong Guoan glared at his stupid son Tong Wencai in annoyance. His face was burning with pain and he remembered the humiliation of today.

"45,000 taels..."

Since his father had given the order, Tong Wen simply shouted out the price.

"48,000 taels..."

The woman on the 4th floor didn't give in at all.

"5 million taels..."

"52,000 taels..."

……

"Your Majesty, it's Princess Yile..."

Li Shiliu immediately recognized the voice of her best friend and reported to Emperor Jiade in a low voice.

With one hand subconsciously fingering the Hetian jade bracelet, the Guardian Emperor, who showed no sign of joy, only said this lightly.

"It turned out to be Yile, naughty."

Hearing what Emperor Jiade said, Li Shiliu felt relieved. It seemed that Emperor Jiade had no intention of blaming Princess Yile. After all, Emperor Jiade was well aware of the feud between Princess Yile and the Tong family.

Princess Yile's biological mother was Concubine Sun Xian, who was from Shandong and a descendant of Confucius. The Kong family had a very high reputation among scholars.

At that time, Emperor Jiade had only been in power for a few years and lacked control over the court. In order to win the support of scholars and to inject more ambitious, capable and knowledgeable people into the court, Emperor Jiade personally went to Shandong and asked for the daughter of the Kong family to be his concubine.

After many twists and turns, the daughter of the Kong family was finally granted the title of concubine after entering the palace.

Emperor Jiade, who had suffered a lot since childhood, was a good emperor who was diligent and frugal. He was also very strict about the promotion of concubines in the harem. Except for the original empress who died early, most of those who entered the palace after that started as low-ranking maids. Only those with outstanding family backgrounds had to be won over and reused by the emperor before they could be granted the title of noble ladies. Even the current Concubine Yun was only a noble lady when she entered the palace.

Everyone had to slowly gain experience in the harem. When Concubine Kong entered the palace, she was given the title of Concubine Kong. This was truly unique. In fact, it was not because Concubine Kong was so favored, but because of the transcendent status of the Kong family, the descendants of Confucius.

The Kong family had strict family education. Concubine Kong strictly followed the rules of etiquette in her every move. Her appearance was not outstanding among the harem. Emperor Jiade respected Concubine Kong more than he loved her.

Concubine Kong was not a favored concubine. She only gave birth to one daughter, Princess Yile, and no prince.

In fact, this is more in line with Emperor Jiade's wishes. After all, if there is a prince who has the support of scholars all over the world, it may not be a good thing for the emperor.
