THE REVENGE OF FOX CONSORT
CHAPTER 11. Two decrees of Emperor Wei
***Next room Residence of General Li Jin***
Ying Ying circulated his gaze around the front room. Most of the servants of General Li Jin's Residence had already gathered there.
Only Chang Ru was an invisible person in the front room. Ying Ying guessed Chang Ru had deliberately come too late to give him an unpleasant surprise.
Ying Ying was convinced that Bai Lu had gathered the servants together, to watch Chang Ru's play later. Ying Ying sat on the seat, which was commonly used by Chang Le.
A variety of beautiful little snacks are on the table.
"Chang Le's! Come eat your favorite little snack," Bai Lu said kindly.
"Tan Xiang will help Ms. Chang Le choose her favorite cake" Tan Xiang said.
Tan Xiang always used silver needles to inspect all the food Chang Le ate so took the initiative to get a small cake for Ying Ying and inspect it secretly without Bai Lu knowing.
"Yes! Choose Chang Le's favorite cake!" bai Lu said.
As Ying Ying was enjoying her favorite lotus cake, Ying Ying heard Chang Ru calling her from a distance.
"Sister Chang Le!"
Ying Ying pretended not to hear the call and focused on tasting the small cake voraciously, while Tan Xiang helped wipe the corner of Ying Ying's lips with a handkerchief.
Ying Ying chuckled softly in his heart because Tan Xiang was smart at pretending like he was at the moment.
Ying Ying heard the loud sound of a handkerchief. Ying Ying was sure Chang Ru was so upset against him that it squeezed the handkerchief.
"There's a good thing I'm still acting like a child so Bai Lu can't rebuke me for ignoring Chang Ru," Ying Ying's inner self.
Bai Lu's face was already grim at this moment. Chen Chen realized that and immediately ran to welcome Chang Ru's arrival.
"Miss Chang Ru is so beautiful! This new hanfu outfit is best suited for Miss Chang Ru!" praise Chen Chen with a loud voice.
The other servants also approached Chang Ru and praised her performance. Chang Ru's mood improved.
Chang Ru walked arrogantly and stood right before Ying Ying. Chang Ru pulled Ying Ying's hand.
"Sister Chang Le! My hanfu clothes are pretty, right?" ask Chang Ru.
Ying Ying furrowed his brows and looked at Chang Ru from head to toe. Chang Ru's hanfu clothes were red and Chang Ru's makeup was thicker than before.
Ying Ying instantly understood the reason Chang Ru gave him a white hanfu outfit, whereas Chang Ru herself wore a red one.
In the Kingdom of Wei, red is commonly worn on festive days as well as weddings. The majority of mourning clothes are white.
"The results of the bad gossip this morning were in line with Chang Ru's wishes. Chang Ru deliberately showed her victory in a red hanfu outfit," Ying Ying's inner self.
"Yes! It's pretty!" said Ying Ying.
Chang Ru smiled widely at Ying Ying's praise, but the smile of her face disappeared instantly as Ying Ying touched the red hanfu clothes with her hands still filled with small, greasy cookie crumbs.
"It's really nice to wipe my dirty hands with this red hanfu outfit," Ying Ying's inner.
"ah! My new clothes!" chanted Chang Ru as she brushed aside Ying Ying's hand violently.
The innocent face without feeling guilty Ying Ying made Chang Ru even more annoyed and there was a desire to berate Ying Ying Ying, but the dirty words that had been at the end of Chang Ru's mouth stopped abruptly as a guard standing outside General Li Jin's residence ran over to Bai Lu.
"Please Eunuch Cao enter!" bai Lu's Order.
The faces of Bai Lu and Chang Ru were beaming. The two of them tidied their hair with both hands and stood up gracefully welcoming Kasim Cao's arrival. Even Chang Ru had already forgotten the stains on her new clothes quickly.
While Tan Xiang pulled Ying Ying's hand. " Miss Chang Le is standing next to the young Madam!" tan Xiang said.
Ying Ying nodded his head obediently. Ying Ying's ingenuity made her guess the exact intention of Eunuch Cao's arrival.
"It is fitting that Chang Ru deliberately dressed up thicker to welcome the emissary from Emperor Wei!" inner Ying Ying.
Eunuch Cao was a senior eunuch and a trusted eunuch of Emperor Wei, earning the respect of others.
Eunuch Cao walked into the front room with several other eunuchs.
"Hamba brought Emperor Wei's edict to General Li Jin's Family!" said Kasim Cao with a shrill voice, the hallmark of the eunuch's voice generally.
Eunuch Cao took out a golden yellow scroll of the Emperor's decree, Bai Lu and Chang Ru immediately knelt down. The servants of the Residence of General Li Jin who were there also knelt down. Tan Xiang slowly pulled the sleeves of Ying Ying's hanfu clothes so that Ying Ying also knelt down along with Tan Xiang.
"Emperor Wei annulled Crown Prince Wei Wu Xian's engagement to Li Chang Le, General Li Jin's first daughter! Li Chang Ru, the second daughter of General Li Jin will be engaged to the Crown Prince, Wei Wu Xian!"
A wide smile decorated the corner of Bai Lu and Chang Ru's lips. Even Chang Ru was blatantly looking towards Ying Ying with arrogance. Chang Ru was certain that from this second on, her status as the future crown princess exceeded Chang Le's.
Ying Ying ignored Chang Ru's gaze and stared at the other Emperor Wei's scroll.
From the beginning Ying Ying had already realized that there were two decrees of Emperor Wei so he was curious about what the second Emperor's decree was. Ying Ying had already guessed exactly the contents of the first Emperor's decree.
"Thank you for the generosity of Emperor Wei!" bai Lu said.
Bai Lu stood up and received the Emperor's decree from the hands of Eunuch Cao.
"There is still a second edict of the Emperor!" eunuch Cao.
Bai Lu immediately knelt down again in front of Eunuch Cao, then gestured to Chang Ru with one another. The two of them did not expect a second Emperor decree. Is it aimed at them or for Chang Le?
"Emperor Wei announces Li Chang Le, General Li Jin's first daughter will be engaged to Prince Wei Bu Yi!
The wedding of the Crown Prince and Prince Wei Bu Yi will be held at the same time!"
Everyone was shocked to hear the contents of Emperor Wei's second edict. They had not expected at all, Li Chang Le would become the empress of Prince Wei Bu Yi.
***
Ta da's... It's getting worse.
Can the engagement go well?
Looking forward to the continuation of the story.
THANK YOU
GREETINGS DEAR
