In the elegant and atmospheric living room, large and small boxes and gift boxes are placed on the ground.

Looking at the appearance, these objects are very exquisite, and the lid is also engraved with the purple and gold badge of the imperial family, which is a gift from Ying Hao, the representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Outside the door, rows of inner palace guards stood like javelins, a middle-aged man in neat and dignified clothes sat quietly, and there were two female officials leading a group of girls in white palace skirts waiting beside them.

“…… Miss Zhao Xinglan, Your Majesty's meaning is already obvious, haven't you made up your mind yet?" said Bai Yiqing, the head of the chamberlain.

He was ordered by Ying Hao to welcome Zhao Xinglan into the imperial palace to live. Originally, this was decided three days ago, but something happened in the palace halfway through, which caused Ying Hao to have to deal with it with his mind, so it was delayed until today.

"Your Majesty has specially instructed that your palace has been arranged and arranged, and the due concubine titles and canonization edicts have been prepared, as long as you live in the imperial palace, you can officially promulgate it to the emperor and abroad. So, do you see if it'......" Bai Yiqing continued to persuade.

Zhao Xinglan frowned and was silent, of course she understood Ying Hao's intentions, and let her move into the imperial palace this time with the intention of protecting her, so that those big people outside would always think about her. In the midst of a lot of palace confinement, many of the intrigues against her will become difficult to implement.

It's just that it's easy to get into this imperial palace, but it's hard to come out again. The so-called imperial concubine, to put it bluntly, is just the man's private property, and even if she is branded by him in the future, she will not be able to be free for the rest of her life.

This kind of life is not what Zhao Xinglan wants. Even if she can't avoid a lot of wind, frost, snow and rain outside, she is not willing to give up her freedom.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love, it's just that I was entrusted by my teacher, and I still have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders, so I really can't put down my responsibilities and enter the palace to enjoy Qingfu. So I can only live up to His Majesty's love. Zhao Xinglan's attitude was gentle and resolute.

"His Royal Highness, isn't he ......" Bai Yiqing's expression was slightly stunned, involving such a transcendent and great existence, he didn't dare to take it lightly with his identity.

"Because of my teacher's order, there are some things that I can't say clearly. If you have any concerns, you may want to ask your teacher directly. Zhao Xinglan smiled faintly.

“……”

Bai Yiqing couldn't help but be speechless, although he was a high-ranking and powerful person, he was only limited to the court of the Blue Dome Empire. When he is outside, his identity may not be easy. Especially the transcendent Guardian Star Palace, there are as many powerful people in it, but no one cares about his face.

"Well, since that's the case, I can only truthfully return to His Majesty the Emperor. In the end, Bai Yiqing sighed helplessly and got up to say goodbye.

Zhao Xinglan politely sent him out of the door.

When she came back, Yang Yufei's slender and slender shadow flashed out of the inner room lightly, hugged her and kissed her. And then quite regretfully:

"Why did you refuse? Sister, I have inquired clearly, the title that that guy is scheduled to give you is 'Lan', and he is second only to the queen of the imperial concubine rank, one of the four most respected concubines in the harem. There are so many sisters who have broken the position that they can't fight for. ”

"Really, he must have been under a lot of pressure to make room for me in this important position, right?" Zhao Xinglan smiled indifferently.

Many meritorious ministers and wealthy family heads have complained about this, but he insisted on not letting go, so this matter was carried out according to his wishes. Yang Yufei sighed.

In such a super empire, the concubine position of the harem is of course an important political resource, and an imperial concubine second only to the queen, many noblewomen with superior conditions and wealthy giants may not be able to grab it in their lifetime. After all, according to the laws and traditions of the empire, the heirs born to the four concubines are all qualified to compete for the future succession to the throne.

If Yang Yufei fails to compete for the queen's position in the future, then she can only be one of the four concubines at most.

Zhao Xinglan was faintly moved in his heart, since Ying Hao won, whether to marry him or not has not helped him to stabilize his position. But he still thinks about himself, and is willing to fight for her as high status and reputation as possible, which shows that this guy still has a real affection for her in his heart.

Of course, being moved is moving, but Zhao Xinglan will not make concessions on principled issues because of this. Want to promise to be his harem?

"Without mentioning that, let's talk about dealing with the harvest. Zhao Xinglan said to her.

Yang Yufei understood, came to the secret room with her, and talked in detail for a while after opening the shielding facility before coming out.

"Tonight, the largest alliance of chambers of commerce in the imperial capital will hold a large-scale auction, and many rare Xinghai treasures will appear, and there should be something you can use. Yang Yufei whispered.

Zhao Xinglan nodded, in order to reach the demigod realm as soon as possible and obtain the qualification to participate in the next generation of Saint Venerable Inheritance Test, she had long wanted to buy some rare cultivation resources that could quickly improve her strength.

Of course, this level of high-end resources must be unimaginably sky-high, and many times they are priceless, if it weren't for the large amount of harvest from the Star Gate, she would not have the confidence to participate in this kind of auction.

……

When night falls, outside the "Starlin" auction house on the ninth planet, there is a lot of traffic, guests and a lot of activity.

In the auction hall on the top floor, well-trained maids arranged Yang Yufei and Zhao Xinglan into an enclosed VIP suite, from which they could overlook the entire huge auction hall.

For example, in this kind of top-notch auction house, the major wealthy families reserve fixed suites here all year round, which can be used as long as needed.

Zhao Xinglan had never experienced this kind of interstellar empire auction before, so he was a little nervous at this time, and touched the VIP card with a denomination of up to five million star crystals in his arms, and his heart was a little more steady.

As time passed, on the platform in the center of the hall below, a majestic old man in a white uniform, with a majestic and solemn expression, and an auctioneer's nameplate on his chest, walked up with brisk steps, bowed slightly, and began to introduce himself in a magnetic voice.

Later, the auction officially began.

Under the snow-white light source, a projection of a spaceship from a lost civilization appeared, which looked extremely old, but because of proper maintenance, the spaceship still looked quite complete. It instantly attracted the attention of many guests.

Although this item has little practical value, it is a rare antique collectible, so there are still many customers who are willing to spend money on it.
