THE REVENGE OF FOX CONSORT
CHAPTER 21. The palace dinner
***Li Chang Le Bedroom***
Two hours before leaving for the palace dinner, Tan Xiang helped Ying Ying prepare to appear perfect.
Ying Ying took a warm bath filled with fragrant floral spices.
Originally the flower spice was only prepared by Bai Lu for Chang Ru only. However, the arrival of Eunuch Da Duo's entourage this afternoon made Bai Lu not dare to be favoritism and be discovered by Prince Wei Bu Yi.
Currently Ying Ying was being groomed by Tan Xiang. Ying Ying chose the pink hanfu to wear to the palace dinner banquet, while Tan Xiang helped choose the jewelry that matched and matched Ying Ying's hanfu.
A set of gift jewelry from Prince Wei Bu Yi was very complete. There are hairpicks, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets.
When Tan Xiang put the bracelet on Ying Ying's hand, the ringing bell pendulum necklace on Ying Ying's wrist was incompatible with Prince Wei Bu Yi's beautiful jewelry gifts.
"Miss Chang Le! What if Ying Ying's necklace was kept first and reused when the lady came home from the palace dinner," Tan Xiang suggested.
Ying Ying thought for a moment as he touched the broken bell pendulum and could not make a sound. The marbles from his body had already fused into the bell pendulum so Ying Ying was unlikely to let go.
"It's okay Tan Xiang. No one will see it" Ying Ying said.
Ying Ying covered the bell pendulum bracelet with long hanfu sleeves so that only the gift bracelet from Prince Wei Bu Yi could be seen.
"Miss is very ingenious," praised Tan Xiang.
"I just need to pass the palace dinner nicely and be careful of Queen Wen," Inner Ying Ying.
Ying Ying still clearly remembered Bai Lu's words that Queen Wen wanted to kill him. Ying Ying suspects that Queen Wen wants to eliminate her because she will become the consort of Prince Wei Bu Yi.

A large horse-drawn carriage stopped right in front of General Li Jin's Residence. The horse carriage was pulled by two horses.
Ying Ying saw Li Teng sitting on one of the horses, precisely beside the coachman. Li Teng did not greet Ying Ying at all.
Li Teng's attitude and behavior towards Chang Le was very different compared to when General Li Jin was around.
Ying Ying climbed onto the horse carriage with Tan Xiang. Bai Lu, Chang Ru, and Chen Chen were already sitting inside the horse carriage. The dinner in the palace allowed each invited guest to bring only one servant so Chang Ru brought Chen Chen and Ying Ying brought Tan Xiang along.
"Sister Tan Xiang!" greet Chen Chen.
Tan Xiang nodded his head as a sign of replying to Chen Chen.
"I should be more careful and protect Miss Chang Le well," inner Tan Xiang.
Ying Ying deliberately sat right across from Chang Ru. Chang Ru stared at Ying Ying's appearance from head to toe. Ying Ying's appearance was so beautiful and perfect that it made Chang Ru upset.
"Strick Chang Ru! This idiot will be humiliated at the palace dinner. I am the future crown princess. My status is higher than her," inner Chang Ru.
Chang Ru turned her attention in another direction to suppress the envy that burned the depths of her heart.
The horse-drawn carriage left General Li Jin's residence within a short time to head for the palace. Every now and then Ying Ying opened the window curtain of the horse carriage to look at the scenery outside.
"Very beautiful! I will be adventuring in the wild after successfully avenging for Miss Chang Le," Inner Ying Ying.
Ying Ying still clearly remembered the life journey she wanted after becoming a human. Ying Ying wanted to use the magic power he possessed to adventure on the mainland of Zhong Yuan and help people who needed his help.

"Tan Xiang's! Lots of horse carriages!" said Ying Ying.
Chang Ru turned her head towards the window of the horse carriage. "All of these horse carriages belong to palace officials," Chang Ru said.
Chang Ru was proud to know more than Chang Le. Chang Le's appearance was indeed more stunning, but Chang Le's intelligence equivalent to that of a five-year-old child made Chang Ru relieved.
"Chang Ru!"
A young girl who also opened the window curtain called Chang Ru.
A little while later, the horse carriage stopped at the main gate of the palace. Li Teng jumped down from the horse and ran to open the door of the horse carriage.
"Mother! I'm joining my friends!" li Teng.
"Yes! Go!" reply Bai Lu.
Bai Lu did not forbid Li Teng from joining the sons of the officials who were close friends of Li Teng.
Chang Ru and Bai Lu got off the horse carriage first quickly. Yang Zi was already waiting beside the horse carriage.
"Chang Ru's! You are so beautiful! Let's go in together!" bring Yang Zi.
Yang Zi was the daughter of the prime minister and also a close friend of Chang Ru. While Ying Ying was still in the form of a white fox, Yang Zi often came to the Residence of General Li Jin to look for Chang Ru and ignore Chang Le.
Ying Ying got off the horse carriage with Tan Xiang. In a short period of time, Ying Ying became the center of attention.
Hanfu from the silk cloth of the Northern Han Kingdom made Ying Ying's beauty even more prominent. Ying Ying was extremely graceful and charming.
It was also that caused Bai Lu and Chang Ru to be unwilling to walk side by side with Ying Ying because surely the existence of the two of them would be ignored due to the limelight of all being fixed on Ying Ying Ying.
The atmosphere inside the palace was very crowded. The invited guests were already seated at their respective places.
Tan Xiang was puzzled looking for a seat for Ying Ying.
This was Tan Xiang's first time to the palace so Tan Xiang did not dare to go around to look for Bai Lu.
Bai Lu had indeed intentionally left Ying Ying and Tan Xiang behind, in order to humiliate Ying Ying at the palace dinner.
The palace hall where the dinner is very large and spacious. If Tan Xiang were to bring Ying Ying towards the wrong seat, it was certain that Ying Ying would be laughed at by the other invited guests.
Tan Xiang drew closer to Ying Ying and spoke in a small voice. "Miss Chang Le! Are we going to the left or right seat?" ask Tan Xiang.
"Wait a minute!" ying Ying replied with a calm face expression.
Ying Ying concentrated fully using the power of long-distance hearing to find Bai Lu's voice.
"Bai Lu sat in the left palace hall," Ying Ying said.
"Let's go there Miss Chang Le!" bring Tan Xiang.
The worry disappeared instantly from Tan Xiang's mind. Tan Xiang suggested Ying Ying Ying's guess must be correct and they could find Bai Lu there.
While Ying Ying had already obtained a plan to avenge Bai Lu's humiliation.
"Miss Li Chang Le!"
The sound of a call from behind made Ying Ying and Tan Xiang look back.
Eunuch Da Duo smiled broadly towards Ying Ying and Tan Xiang. "Seat Miss Li Chang Le next to Prince Wei Bu Yi! I'll take the lady there!" eunuch Da Duo.
"Thank you Eunuch Da Duo!" tan Xiang said.
The two of them followed Eunuch Da Duo towards the right palace hall.
"This right palace hall is close to the throne of Emperor Wei," Inner Ying Ying.
