THE REVENGE OF FOX CONSORT
CHAPTER 12. Envying
***Next room Residence of General Li Jin***
The contents of the first Emperor Wei's decree had already made all the servants who were in the front room of the General Li Jin's Residence shocked and felt sorry for Li Chang Le.
Although in their little hearts they had expected that the gossip that ruined Li Chang Le's good name would definitely cause her engagement with Wei Wu Xian to be annulled.
While the most suitable young girl to be Li Chang Le's successor was Li Chang Ru, as they were both the daughters of General Li Jin.
Therefore, the decision of Emperor Wei was very precise regarding the contents of the first Emperor's decree. However, the contents of the second Emperor's decree surprised everyone there, especially Ying Ying, Bai Lu, and Chang Ru.
Ying Ying did not expect his plan to approach Wei Bu Yi in order to become an ally against Wei Wu Xian could be implemented in the near future.
At least being the consort of Prince Wei Bu Yi is better than being a concubine from the son of other officials.
"Why could this idiot be Prince Wei Bu Yi's fiancee?" inner Chang Ru was irritated.
Although everyone knew Wei Bu Yi could not have any descendants so it was impossible to become the upcoming Emperor of Wei, but his prestige and fighting prowess made many people admire him.
Moreover, Wei Bu Yi's face was very handsome and his cold demeanor made him a dream of young girls in the Wei Kingdom. Chang Ru was one of those young girls.
"Prince Wei Bu Yi held control of ten thousand soldiers of the Kingdom of Wei and was a threat to the crown prince," inner Bai Lu.
"Mrs Bai Lu! Please accept both Emperor Wei decrees!" eunuch Cao.
Eunuch Cao's loud voice made Bai Lu wake up from his daydream and stand up to Eunuch Cao to receive the Emperor Wei's second edict, with both hands.
Bai Lu raised the second high of Emperor Wei's edict. " Thank you for Emperor Wei's generosity!" exclaim Bai Lu.
"Thank you for the generosity of Emperor Wei!"
Ying Ying, Chang Ru, and the servants of the Li Jin Residence repeated Bai Lu's words in a loud voice.
Eunuch Cao smiled in satisfaction and walked away from the General Li Jin's residence with the small eunuchs, his subordinates.

"Congratulations Miss Chang Ru to be the crown princess!" chen Chen said enthusiastically.
"Congratulations Miss Chang Ru!"
"Miss Chang Ru is so beautiful! Same with the Crown Prince!"
"Congratulations Miss Chang Ru!"
The servants surrounded Chang Ru and gave congratulations. They were competing to give Chang Ru pleasing praise at this time in order to be chosen as the servant who accompanied Chang Ru to stay in the palace later.
Chang Ru's face beamed and glanced at Ying Ying. Ying Ying was already sitting at his original spot and enjoying the small cake on his plate.
"Basic idiot! Unaware of the position the crown princess has already fallen into my hands!" inner Chang Ru.
The flowery mood of Chang Ru became somber instantly as she recalled the contents of Emperor Wei's second edict so she looked at Ying Ying hatefully.
Ying Ying pretended not to see her. "Tan Xiang's! Be full! Room!" said Ying Ying.
"Madamary young. Tan Xiang take Miss Chang Le to the room!"
"Go!" reply Bai Lu.
Although the plan to humiliate Chang Le was not entirely successful, but Bai Lu had no reason to hold Ying Ying longer in the front room.
The contents of the second Emperor Wei decree made Bai Lu unwilling to act rashly and display his true nature in front of Ying Ying.
Bai Lu wanted to find out if it was indeed an engagement at the will of Emperor Wei or at the request of Prince Wei Bu Yi himself. All because Bai Lu knew Wei Bu Yi saved Chang Le yesterday.

Chang Ru's annoyed face left the servants confused and afraid that they had offended Chang Ru so one by one left the vestibule to continue their respective work.
Now in the front room there were only Bai Lu, Chang Ru, and Chen Chen. Chen Chen Chen poured jasmine tea into a cup, then took out one plate of Chang Ru's favorite small cake and served it in front of Chang Ru.
"I don't have an appetite!" chang Ru said as she pushed the plate away from before her.
"Chen Chen's! Order the kitchen cook to cook Chang Ru's favorite side dish for dinner!" bai Lu's Order.
"Okay, young lady!" chen Chen replied obediently.
Chen Chen knew Bai Lu wanted to speak alone with Chang Ru at this moment.
"What's Chang Ru? Your wish has been achieved. Why are you still sad and upset?" bai Lu asked softly, after Chen Chen left.
"Mother! Why is that idiot always lucky? I don't like Chang Le to be Prince Wei Bu Yi's consort! I have to cancel it!" pinta Chang Ru's.
"The Emperor's decree must not be disputed. If we refuse, then our families will be put to death by Emperor Wei!" bai Lu said.
"Does Prince Wei Bu Yi like that idiot?" asked Chang Ru with a kettle.
"Don't think recklessly. I'll investigate. Chang Le could have died as Empress Wei Bu Yi after all. The end result is to your liking, isn't it?" bai Lu asked with a cynical smile.
Bai Lu's words made Chang Ru remember one forgotten fact as jealousy and envy enveloped her heart and mind earlier.
"Mom is the wisest!" said Chang Ru.
Bai Lu and Chang Ru chuckled at the same time, imagining Chang Le's life being lost as Prince Wei's consort Bu Yi.
