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

Bai Li sneered, she 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."

old lady's face stiffened again as he stiffly nodded his head, "Alright."

Since old lady had no other choice, he could only bring Bai Qingyan and Bai Lier to his 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 private rooms of the old lady, 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."

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

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

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 her 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."

old lady frowned, everything was hers, there were still many things here that were hers.

Just as old lady wanted to speak, Bai Li waved her 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 her 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 her 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. After you finish checking out the items, I will have some people bring them to the other storage rooms. They will definitely not take up too much of your space."

Just as old lady opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Bai Qingyan.

Hearing that Bai Qingyan wanted to move all of her things, old lady rolled her eyes and almost fainted.

Fortunately, Liao Momo helped her recover and after a while, the old lady recovered his strength and looked at Bai Qingyan anxiously, "No, these things …"

The corner of Bai Li's mouth raised into an evil smile, she stepped forward to block Liao Momo and support 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 she really blamed herself for blaming the old lady.

old lady glared at Bai Li, his eyes looked as though he wanted to devour him. He wanted to say something, but Bai Li stopped his in his tracks.

After counting everything, Qi Wen walked forward and bowed as she 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, she was excited instead.

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

Bai Li looked at old lady with interest, her devilish eyes seemed to be jumping with gold light.

old lady's hand that was holding the buddhist beads shook, and he almost couldn't hold the buddhist beads.

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 her head and snickered.

Who the hell was she with that money grubbing personality?

old lady was stiff for a long time before he forced out a smile, "Those things are relatively precious, so I put them in the warehouse. Grandmother is worried about them, so I decided to place them in there."

old lady said, he 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 her 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 old lady any chance to speak, Bai Li turned her head and instructed Qi Wen, "Go and find a few servants to come over."

"Yes."

Qi Wen smiled and agreed, then turned to leave.

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

"The imperial edict is …" "The imperial edict is …" "The imperial edict is the imperial edict is 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 old lady was walking further away, the corners of Bai Li's lips curled up in an evil smile as she tilted her head and gave Qi Wen a look.

Qi Wen also laughed sinisterly, she turned around and took out a golden lock from her 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 was about to answer, Bai Qingyan and old lady came over.

Seeing Bai Qingyan and the others, the Eunuch Rong bowed and greeted, "Greetings, Princess Suo, old lady Bai, Miss Bai."

"No need for formalities."

Bai Qingyan raised her 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 his 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, Eunuch Rong immediately extended his hand to support him, "Miss Bai, Emperor allows you to kneel."

Bai Li was speechless.

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 seems that the Emperor truly doted on the Miss Bai, to the point where she couldn't even 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 Lier 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 Lier 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 Lier something that belonged to her?

Bai Qingyan never thought that Murong Shuofeng would make Bai Li the princess of Jingyang County, and even if she did, a princess would have no feudal fiefdom. But this time, not only did Bai Li have a feudal fiefdom, she could even collect taxes on it. Besides that, the biggest and most prosperous county in the Zixiao, was Yun Er's feudal fiefdom, which was also not as big as Jingyang's.

It seems like Jin Hong was right, Emperor truly dotes on Qu 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.
