THE REVENGE OF FOX CONSORT
CHAPTERS 20. The engraving of Yi
***House of General Li Jin***
Bai Lu tried to defend himself in the presence of a vassal of the trust of Prince Wei Bu Yi. Her reputation as a good stepmother and understanding must be maintained.
"Several times Chang Le was reckless to spill tea to hanfu and also the jewelry was often lost so I prepared hanfu with natural colors that do not fade easily and also a little jewelry so as not to be lost in the palace dinner" Bai Lu said.
"really so. The new Hanfu I bought for Brother Chang Le yesterday was also dirty from the tea spill," Chang Ru said.
Whether or not the reason given by Bai Lu and Chang Ru, the group of Eunuch Da Duo did not care. They believe more in the real evidence that is plastered in plain sight.
"Miss Li Chang Le could choose and consider the desired hanfu model of these 4 untampered silk fabrics. Tomorrow morning the servant will come to take this cloth and bring it to the capital's tailor," Kasim Da Duo said.
"Thank you Eunuch Da Duo. Tan Xiang will give Miss Chang Le an answer tomorrow morning" Tan Xiang said.
"Gift! The presents!" said Ying Ying while pointing at the two small boxes that had yet to be opened.
Eunuch Da Duo gestured so that the two warriors who were holding the small box, opened it quickly.
"Well! It's pretty!" puji Ying Ying's.
This time Ying Ying's expression wasn't acting, but rather was dazzled by the two sets of complete jewels that were extremely beautiful.
There are hairpick jewelry, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets inside each small box.
Bai Lu, Chang Ru, and the servants of General Li Jin's Residence were also stunned to see the exquisite jewelry. They were sure that the famous craftsmen from the palace could make beautiful and charming carvings in all of the embellishments.
Chang Ru stepped foot closer to the two jewelry boxes to take a closer look, then took one of the bracelets and put it on her wrist.
"I'm Chang Le's little brother. Brother Chang Le will definitely lend me a set of these jewels. We can both be the center of attention at the palace dinner" Chang Ru said.
"Truly the face of the wall!" inner Ying Ying.
"The two of you will be the daughter-in-law of Emperor Wei. Of course it should be the center of attention tonight!" bai Lu said enthusiastically.
Ying Ying pretended not to understand the intent of Bai Lu and Chang Ru's words so the two shameless women stared at Eunuch Da Duo.
The two of them were sure that Prince Wei Bu Yi would not take issue with the gift jewelry from him being lent to the would-be crown princess.
"Madam Bai Lu and Miss Li Chang Ru should not wear the gift jewelry of Prince Wei Bu Yi" said Eunuch Xiao Duo.
"Why?" ask Chang Ru.
Chang Ru held tightly to the bracelet that was still coiled around her wrist spontaneously for fear of being snatched by Eunuch Xiao Duo.
"All of these jewels have a Yi engraving, named after Prince Wei Bu Yi. This jewelry was specially made for the empress of Prince Wei Bu Yi. If Miss Li Chang Le accidentally eliminated him, Prince Wei Bu Yi could find him easily," Eunuch Xiao Duo explained.
Once again Eunuch Xiao Duo praised the prowess of Prince Wei Bu Yi in his heart, as if Prince Wei Bu Yi knew Li Chang Le's jewelry would be targeted by Li Chang Ru.
Chang Ru was not a stupid girl so understood what Eunuch Xiao Duo said. With the letter Yi in each piece of jewelry, it was certain that no one would dare to steal it because they did not want to get a severe punishment from Prince Wei Bu Yi.
Chang Ru examined the bracelet in her hand carefully and indeed found the letter Yi, which was carved in small size.
Chang Ru removed the bracelet from her hand, then placed it into the box roughly.
"Prince Wei Bu Yi is very smart and has a lot of stratagems" Ying Ying praised in her heart.
"The servant's task is done. Prince Wei Bu Yi will wait for Miss Li Chang Le's arrival at the palace dinner," said Eunuch Da Duo.
"Prince Wei Bu Yi! The palace!" said Ying Ying while nodding her head.
Eunuch Da Duo's entourage left General Li Jin's residence without saying goodbye to Bai Lu.

"Chen Chen's! A Ling's! Help Tan Xiang bring Prince Wei Bu Yi's gift to Miss Chang Le's room!" bai Lu's Order.
"Okay, young lady!" chen Chen and A Ling replied.
Bai Lu knew if all those gifts were left for too long in the front room, Chang Ru would not be able to hold back the anger and might just ruin the gift that Prince Wei Bu Yi gave.
Ying Ying took out the two boxes that contained jewelry. "I'm the one who brought it to the room!" said Ying Ying.
"Okay, Miss Chang Le!" answer Tan Xiang.
Ying Ying accidentally stumbled so much that the two jewelry boxes fell down and the jewelry inside was scattered on the table, right in front of Chang Ru.
"Be careful Miss Chang Le!" tan Xiang said.
Tan Xiang arranged the jewelry one by one in the box. Ying Ying took one of the hairpicks and showed it to Tan Xiang.
"Tan Xiang's! This what?" ask Ying Ying.
"Ukiran Yi, from the name of Prince Wei Bu Yi!" answer Tan Xing.
"Oh! Letter Yi!" said Ying Ying.
Ying Ying smiled widely and looked at Chang Ru so a bad premonition haunted Chang Ru's mind in no time.
"Yeah!"
"Yeah!"
"Yeah!"
"Yeah!"
"Yeah!"
" Stop!" chanted Chang Ru as she covered both ears with her hands and ran towards the room.
Ying Ying deliberately upset Chang Ru by showing one by one the engraving of Yi letters inside the jewelry.
"What's wrong with Chang Ru?" ying Ying asked as she looked at Bai Lu with an innocent face, a hallmark of a five-year-old.
"All because of you!" inner Bai Lu.
Ying Ying saw clearly the glare of hateful eyes from Bai Lu, who appeared in mere seconds.
"Chang Ru must be tired of shopping from morning. You also rest. Later that night we leave for the palace," Bai Lu said with a fake smile.
"Yes!" ying Ying replied briefly.
Ying Ying hummed cheerfully towards the room followed by Tan Xiang, Chen Chen, and A Ling.
"Basic idiot! You'll be humiliated at dinner tonight!" inner Bai Lu.
