THE REVENGE OF FOX CONSORT
CHAPTER 23. Chang Le's Habits?
***Palace Hall of Emperor Wei***
The two palace maids cleaned the broken cup on the floor near Wei Wu Xian's seat quickly, then replaced the broken cup with a new cup.
Chang Ru wanted to pour wine into Wei Wu Xian's cup, but Wei Wu Xian snatched the wine pitcher roughly from Chang Ru's hands.
"I don't want this to happen again! Don't embarrass me in front of the other officials!" threaten Wei Wu Xian with a small voice, which could only be heard by him and Chang Ru.
"Okay, Crown Prince!" replied Chang Ru.
Wei Wu Xian gave a rough snort, then poured the wine into the cup and gulped it down. Reflexively, Wei Wu Xian looked towards Ying Ying again, but could not see Ying Ying's beautiful face thoroughly due to Ying Ying's body position facing sideways, to be exact Ying Ying was staring at Wei Bu Yi intensely.
Ying Ying indeed deliberately avoided Wei Wu Xian's disrespectful gaze so used Wei Bu Yi as a shield.
Ying Ying's manner was very successful. Wei Wu Xian held back the vexation in his heart and turned his head towards Chang Ru.
Chang Ru was very happy to think that Wei Wu Xian had already realized that he was better than the abnormal Li Chang Le.
"What's the crown prince?" asked Chang Ru with a wide smile.
"Why is your hanfu so different from Chang Le's?" wei Wu Xian.
"Hanfu Chang Le gift from Prince Wei Bu Yi. The material is silk cloth from the Northern Han Kingdom," Chang Ru replied.
Wei Wu Xian had not been concerned with the silk tribute from the Northern Han Kingdom because the silk fabric was only used to make women's clothes.
Therefore, when Emperor Wei gave one of the silk scrolls to Wei Bu Yi every year, Wei Wu Xian was not envious. Even Wei Wu Xian thought all the silk cloths would be worthless and ownerless objects because every empress of Wei Bu Yi must have died on the wedding day.
Wei Wu Xian did not expect
hanfu from the silk cloth was so harmonious and beautiful in Li Chang Le's body that it made Li Chang Le the center of attention at the palace dinner.
"Queen Wen also had silk cloth from the Northern Han Kingdom. I'm sure I look more beautiful and attractive than Chang Le's sister if I wear the same hanfu" Chang Ru said.
Chang Ru had a hidden meaning behind her words. Wei Wu Xian was not a fool so he could guess exactly what Chang Ru wanted.
"Don't dream of getting the silk from your mother's hand" Wei Wu Xian said.
Chang Ru lowered her head and bit her lower lip in annoyance.
"I hate you, Chang Le! You made me humiliated by Wei Wu Xian! You must die! You must suffer!" inner Chang Ru.
While Ying Ying, who had originally only pretended to stare at Wei Bu Yi, could not at all take her pair of eyes off Wei Bu Yi's face.
"Thick nose, sharp nose, firm jaw shape. Truly a perfect face," Inner Ying Ying.
Wei Bu Yi remained seated quietly and was not bothered by the twinkling gazes of Ying Ying.
"This gray hair does it feel rough or soft?"
Ying Ying touched a few strands of Wei Bu Yi's hair reflexively, then twisted and wrapped them around a finger.
Ying Ying glanced at the glance at Wei Bu Yi's facial expression, which was still the same as before so Ying Ying grew more and more daring to play that gray hair with her fingers.
The two eunuchs of Wei Bu Yi's confidence immediately looked at Tan Xiang and signaled a head movement towards Ying Ying.
Tan Xiang understood the intent of Eunuch Da Duo and Eunuch Xiao Duo so as to bow down to whisper into Ying Ying's ears.
"No way, Miss Chang Le! You can embarrass Prince Wei Bu Yi" whispered Tan Xiang.
"All right!' ying Ying replied in a small voice.
Ying Ying released Wei Bu Yi's strands of hair from her fingers reluctantly accompanied by a long sigh.
The motions of Ying Ying and the whispers between Ying Ying and Tan Xiang, were all known to Wei Bu Yi.
"Is one of Chang Le's habits is playing strands of hair?" inner Wei Bu Yi.
Actually Ying Ying felt bored waiting for the arrival of Emperor Wei so when touching Wei Bu Yi's hair strands, Ying Ying was hooked because it was very smooth and soft like her white fur when in the form of a white fox.
***
"Emperor Wei arrives!"
"Queen Wen has arrived!"
"Concubine Ming Lan arrives!"
Eunuch Cao's voice echoed within the palace. The guests stood up and saluted.
Emperor Wei sat on a dragon-carved throne, while Queen Wen and Consort Ming Lan sat on the right and left sides of Emperor Wei, as Ying Ying had originally expected.
"Sit down!" emperor Wei's Order.
The invited guests seated at the original venue included Ying Ying. Emperor Wei smiled broadly at Ying Ying's appearance, especially the hanfu of the Northern Han Kingdom's silk cloth.
Emperor Wei was pleased that Prince Wei Bu Yi was listening to his advice to accept Li Chang Le as empress.
Not only was Emperor Wei aware of Ying Ying's hanfu, Queen Wen and Consort Ming Lan knew Ying Ying's new hanfu was a gift from Prince Wei Bu Yi.
Queen Wen hinted Ying Ying would become a thorn in the flesh if not removed as soon as possible.
"Li Chang Le must die!" inner Queen Wen.
