C113

After a long while, the old lady finally said with a stiff face, "beaver, what are you saying. Since your parents aren't here, I as a Grandmother should pamper you more."

Bai Li sneered, he did not refute her, and said, "Since Aunt wants to see my warehouse, then why don't Grandmother bring us to the East Palace warehouse."

The old lady's face stiffened again, and she nodded stiffly. "Alright."

The old lady had no choice but to bring Bai Qingyan and Bai Li?er to her own private storage.

Although it was called a small private room, it was not any smaller than the storage room in the General's Estate. Inside were all the old granny's private rooms, including the bestowed items from Bai Li's storage room, and Chu Xiangjun's dowry.

Seeing that there was a small private storage room twice as big as his own, Bai Li smiled evilly, "Grandmother is kind, this storage room is pretty good, I believe that I will need some things."

The old lady's face darkened, and unwillingly let Liao Momo open the door to the warehouse.

Without waiting for the old lady to speak, Bai Qingyan and the others entered the warehouse with Lan Yan and the rest.

The warehouse was filled with boxes of various sizes. Bai Li casually opened one of them and found it to be filled with dazzling silver and gold.

Bai Li pursed his lips. Seems like this old lady had looted a lot of good stuff over the years.

Bai Li chuckled, "All these things are mine, I never thought that I would actually have so many things."

The old lady frowned. Everything was hers. There were still many things here that were hers.

The old lady wanted to say something, but Bai Li waved his hand, "Qi Wen, Yun Zhi, Qing Ling, go and check if there are any missing items."

"Yes."

The three of them agreed and immediately began counting the items in the warehouse.

looked at her and knew what she wanted to do. He immediately added, "Lan Yan, Lu Rui, go help me lighten it up."

"Yes."

Lan Yan, Lu Rui agreed and went forward to help Qi Wen and the others count them.

"All of you, be careful. His Majesty gave all these to our daughter. If you break any of them, you're the only one who can ask."

Bai Qingyan purposely said with a stern face, but his words emphasized that all the things in the warehouse belonged to Bai Li.

"Yes."

Lan Yan, Lu Rui had followed Bai Qingyan for so many years, how could she not understand his intentions?

Hearing that all the things Bai Qingyan said were Bai Li's, the old lady became anxious.

"Esteemed wangfei ?"

"Old lady, don't worry. When we're done with the inventory, I'll have someone take these items to the other storerooms. They won't take up much of your space."

Just as the old lady opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Bai Qingyan.

Hearing that Bai Qingyan wanted to take away all her belongings, the old lady rolled her eyes and almost fainted.

Fortunately, Liao Momo held her and had recovered for a while. The old lady recovered her strength and looked at Bai Qingyan anxiously, "No, these things ?"

The corner of Bai Li's mouth raised into an evil smile, he stepped forward to block Liao Momo and support the old lady.

Yes, Grandmother, I was wrong about you previously. You truly wanted to help me look after these things, and you didn't want 'Greedy Ink' or any of these things. It's all my fault.

Bai Li said guiltily, as if he really blamed himself for blaming the old lady.

After counting everything, Qi Wen walked forward and bowed as he reported, "Miss, I've finished counting. The items are basically all here, it's just that I'm missing a few items."

"Oh?"

Not only was Bai Li not angry, he was excited instead.

"The few should be in the other storage rooms of the Grandmother."

Bai Li looked at the old lady with interest, his charming eyes seemed to be jumping with gold light.

The old lady's hand that was holding the buddhist beads shook, and the buddhist beads almost fell out of her hands.

Liao Momo was sweating profusely.

Other storage rooms? This little miss really wants to empty the whole of General's Estate's storage room.

Bai Qingyan lowered his head and snickered.

Who the hell was she with that money grubbing personality?

The old lady was stiff for a long time before she smiled stiffly, "Those things were relatively precious. Grandmother was worried about them in the warehouse, so he decided to place them there."

The old lady said, she immediately turned and instructed Liao Momo, "Go and bring the thing over to First Miss."

"Yes."

Liao Momo replied and immediately left the warehouse, walking quickly towards Pine Crane Garden.

I can't afford this little fiend's stuff, so I might as well return it to her.

Liao Momo went to the Pine Crane Garden and found all the items that belonged to Bai Li, and stored them all in the box.

Very quickly, Liao Momo carried the few boxes back to the warehouse.

"All the items are here, please check with Eldest Miss."

Liao Momo respectfully handed the box over to Bai Li.

Bai Li tilted his head and indicated towards Qi Wen.

Qi Wen immediately understood and took the box from Liao Momo's hands to look at it.

After seeing that everything was taken care of, Qi Wen bowed and said, "Young miss, everything is taken care of."

"Right."

Bai Li nodded her head, and lightly curled her lips, "Since the things are all here, then we won't disturb the Grandmother, I will have the Attendants move the things back to the West Prefecture right now."

"Qi Wen."

Not giving the old lady any chance to speak, Bai Li turned his head and ordered Qi Wen, "Go find a few servants."

"Yes."

Qi Wen smiled and agreed, then turned to leave.

Seeing that Bai Li was really going to take her things away, the old lady became extremely anxious and immediately shouted, "Wait a moment."

The imperial edict ?

The sound of singing came from outside, and the warehouse instantly quieted down.

Bi He rushed in to report. "Esteemed wangfei, someone has come to deliver the decree."

They looked at each other and immediately left the warehouse.

Bai Li, Qi Wen and the others were at the back. Seeing that the old lady had walked far, the corner of Bai Li's mouth hooked up into an evil smile, and he tilted his head to give Qi Wen a look.

Qi Wen also laughed sinisterly, he turned around and took out a golden lock from his sleeve and locked the door before catching up to Bai Li and the others again.

Outside the main hall of West Prefecture, it was already packed with people. All of the guests who came to attend the banquet were outside waiting for their orders, including Murong Lingshan and Puyang Bingwei.

"Eunuch Rong."

Seeing Murong Lingshan and Puyang Bingwei, Eunuch Rong was startled, then immediately bowed and saluted: "Greetings Eighth Princess, Princess Bingwei."

Murong Lingshan frowned as he looked at the bright yellow imperial decree in the Eunuch Rong's embrace, "Who are you giving this decree to?"

"Eunuch Rong."

Just as Eunuch Rong wanted to answer, Bai Qingyan and the old lady came over.

Seeing Bai Qingyan and the others, the Eunuch Rong bowed again, "Greetings, Princess Suo, Old Lady Bai, Miss Bai."

"No need for formalities."

Bai Qingyan raised his hands to help her up.

Eunuch Rong stood up as instructed.

"What is Eunuch Rong doing?"

Bai Qingyan was also looking at the imperial edict in the Eunuch Rong's embrace, with a face full of suspicion.

Eunuch Rong curled her lips, did not answer all of Bai Qingyan's and Murong Lingshan's questions, and only turned to Bai Li and said, "Please receive the decree, First Miss of Bai Family."

Bai Li frowned. It was actually for her.

Without much thought, Bai Li was about to kneel and receive the decree.

Everyone also knelt down, including Murong Lingshan and Puyang Bingwei.

Seeing that Bai Li wanted to kneel down, the Eunuch Rong immediately extended his hands to support him, "Miss Bai, the Emperor allows you to kneel."

This father and son duo were really the same. They both felt that she didn't have enough enemies.

When the others heard Eunuch Rong's words, they looked at Bai Li with envious eyes.

It looks like the Emperor truly doted on the Miss Bai, to the point where he didn't even allow her to kneel while reading the imperial edict.

Murong Lingshan's face darkened, he clenched his fists in anger.

What exactly does royal father mean? She clearly knew that she would be coming to Bai Mansion to attend the banquet today, yet to come at this time to announce the decree, to actually make Bai Li?er not kneel. Then what about her, as her daughter, what right did she have to not kneel?

Puyang Bingwei, Bai Ruoyu and the others also had faces full of jealousy.

On the other hand, Bai Qingyan, Rong family and the others were very pleased.

Bai Li looked at Bai Qingyan, Rong and the others who were kneeling on the ground.

Aunt, Aunt Xue, and Aunt Yun were all standing there.

Seeing Bai Li, who was determined to kneel down, a flash of praise passed through Eunuch Rong's eyes.

The Crown Prince's sudden change in attitude towards the Miss Bai was not without reason. In the current state of the Miss Bai, it was hard for people to not like it even if they wanted to.

Seeing that everyone was kneeling down, Eunuch Rong opened the imperial edict and read it out loud.

"I am under the blessing of the heavens. On the decree of the emperor, The House of the Marquis of Loyalty Bai Li?er has a beautiful appearance, her temperament is like an orchid, her talent is overflowing, and her riding ability is exquisite, deeply rooted in my heart. From this day onwards, you shall be conferred the title of Princess Jingyang, with the title of great beauty, as well as two thousand households of food and clothing, and as a gift to Tian Qian Qing, ten thousand taels of gold, and a thousand pieces of silk.

When the imperial edict was read out, everyone was stupefied.

In the end, not only was there a fine farmland, but there were also tens of thousands of gold taels and thousands of silks. Just the addition of two thousand households and food was enough to make one's eyeballs pop out.

An additional ten thousand households, and a total of two thousand households? What sort of concept was this? Normally, a commander-in-chief would only get an additional thousand or four hundred households, while a commander-in-chief would get five or six times as many.

Murong Lingshan clenched his teeth, his eyes filled with grievance and dissatisfaction.

The royal father actually bestowed the Pingyang County to Bai Li, the vixen. The empress had clearly said that she would use the Pingyang County as her dowry, so why did the royal father give Bai Li?er something that belonged to her?

Bai Qingyan never thought that Murong Shuofeng would make Bai Li the princess of Jingyang County, and even if he did, a princess would not have a sealed land. But this time, Bai Li not only had a sealed land, he was able to collect taxes as well, and in Jingyang County, other than the capital, the most prosperous county in the city, was Yun Er's sealed land.

It seems that Jin Hong was right, the Emperor truly loved Hua Er.

Even Bai Li was dumbstruck. She never thought that the Emperor, who she was acquainted with, would give her a feudal place, and even the richest one. She felt as if she was dreaming.

In the distance, a certain person on a large tree looked at Bai Li's dazed look, and smirked.

It was just a country bumpkin, yet this little girl was so happy that she became a fool. She really had no future.
