The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 97: Her Son Might Regret His Decision

They arrived at the entrance of the palace. Bai Xifeng looked outside. The palace looked so majestic. ’Not bad.’ She thought.

The carriage stopped.

"Young Misses, you need to get out of the carriage. You need to walk to enter through the palace gate." The horseman informed them.

"I understand. Thank you." Bai Chunhua stated.

"Let’s go." Bai Huiling said.

She was the first to step out of the carriage followed by Bai Chunhua. Bai Xifeng was the last person to step out.

Once she stepped out of the carriage, she attracted a lot of attention. People started to wonder who she was.

"Third Sister, we need to line up first before entering the gate." Bai Chunhua said.

The word ’Third Sister’ makes people guess this woman’s identity. She was the trash, Bai Xifeng.

Some people never met Bai Xifeng before. They did not know that the trash, Bai Xifeng was this beautiful.

As for people who already knew Bai Xifeng, they never expected that Bai Xifeng was this beautiful when she dolled up.

Bai Xifeng just nodded and followed behind Bai Huiling. One of the girls who lined up, standing in front of Bai Chunhua looked at Bai Chunhua.

"First Miss Bai, who is that girl? I never see her first." Tan Liqin asked for confirmation.

Everyone also waited for Bai Chunhua’s answer.

Bai Chunhua smiled at Tan Liqin. "Oh, it is my third sister, Bai Xifeng."

"Oh...." Tan Liqin dragged the word. She then scoffed at Bai Xifeng.

Bai Xifeng did not pay much attention to the ladies. Her eyes were roaming around the area.

"Third Miss Bai, it must be your first time coming to the palace, I assume?" Tan Liqin said in a mocking tone.

Bai Xifeng who was still looking around did not hear the question. Tan Liqin was embarrassed to be ignored by trash like Bai Xifeng.

"First Miss Bai, your third sister is a rude person. She did not even respond to what people asked her." Tan Liqin stated.

"I am sorry. My third sister is an airhead." Bai Chunhua apologized to Tan Liqin by saying Bai Xifeng was an idiot anyway.

Tan Liqin nodded. "Indeed, she is an airhead. I can not get angry with that kind of person."

People who listened to the conversation did not say anything. Well, Tan Liqin tried to humiliate Bai Xifeng but the party did not bother responding.

And Bai Chunhua was not like people thought she was. Before this, people thought she was an innocent and kind girl.

But after seeing this situation, she might not be someone that people thought. A person wanted to humiliate her younger cousin. She should protect but she joined the mocking as well.

Well, she was not a kind person at all. Otherwise, she would not be involved with the crown prince who already had her younger cousin as the fiance.

Bai Xifeng gained sympathy from some people. They thought Bai Xifeng could not help to accept the arrangement because she could not fight back since she was trash who could not cultivate.

The person who had been discussed did not care about that and kept looking around, admiring the beauty of the place.

After lining up for such a long time, they finally got to enter the gate. No wonder, people tended to go early for the royal banquet because they needed to be lined up to enter the palace. Everything needed to be checked up before entering the palace.

The maid brought the women to the large courtyard first. There were drinks and some snacks. The women began to talk to each other. No one came to talk to Bai Xifeng. They even ignored Bai Xifeng when Bai Xifeng looked at them by turning their heads to another side.

Bai Xifeng was bored. So, she went to get something to eat. She tried one of the snacks. ’Hmm... Not bad. If I get the recipe, I will ask Xiao Li to make it for me.’ Even though she could make it by herself. But she was lazy. It tasted better when someone could make them for her.

"Noble Consort Furen is coming." A eunuch shouted to alert the young misses to greet the noble consort later when she entered.

A woman with a good-looking wore luxurious dress slowly entered the courtyard with 4 maids following behind her. She had a gentle smile on her face as she entered the courtyard.

Everyone quickly kneeled down and greeted the noble consort respectfully. Only Bai Xifeng greeted her without kneeling down. The noble consort frowned as she saw this.

The maids behind also frowned.

"You! Why are you not kneeling down in front of Noble Consort Furen?" The maid questioned Bai Xifeng.

Everyone who kneeled down looked at Bai Xifeng. Everyone did not think that Bai Xifeng would act like this in front of the royal family. Even Bai Chunhua frowned. She already told Bai Xifeng not to act willfully in the palace because it would affect their family as well.

"Huh? But I don’t want to kneel down. Ops, I am wrong. I don’t have to kneel down." Bai Xifeng said.

Noble Consort Furen’s eyes flickered.

"How dare you disrespect Her Highness like this? Someone, drag this woman out. Beat her with 100 hits." The maid said.

"Who dares?" Bai Xifeng shouted. "I have special permission from His Majesty himself that I did not need to kneel down to any of the royal family members including His Majesty himself. So, why do I need to kneel down to just a noble consort? Are your position higher than the emperor itself?" She stated.

"Who are you?" Noble Consort Furen finally spoke.

"Me? I am Bai Xifeng, the only daughter of Great General Bai Xiang. I think you all know my name even if you don’t know my face." Bai Xifeng proudly announced it.

Noble Consort Furen looked at Bai Xifeng. Of course, she knew the name. After all, she was engaged to her biological son. She observed Bai Xifeng more.

This girl was not like her son said. Her son always told her that Bai Xifeng was stupid and ugly. That was embarrassing to be engaged to someone like this. But she did not see any of the traits of this young girl.

This young girl looked very confident when she was currently facing a royal family member. She did not see any scared expression on this young girl.

She felt that her son was making a mistake in letting go of this young miss. She could feel that her son would be regretting his decision in the future.

"Your Highness, please forgive my younger cousin. She is young and willful." Bai Chunhua pleaded forgiveness for Bai Xifeng.

Bai Xifeng snorted. She did not think she did anything wrong. Why Bai Chunhua wanted to plead for her? It was probably Bai Chunhua who wanted to act like she was the kindest person who spoke up for her younger cousin.

"First Sister, what I am saying is the truth. I also received the royal decree regarding that matter. If I don’t follow the decree, does that mean I am guilty of not following the royal decree? Do you need me to confirm the truth? I will ask about this in front of His Majesty." Bai Xifeng replied to Bai Chunhua.

Bai Chunhua gulped. ’Confirm it with His Majesty? Of course, I don’t want that.’ What if His Majesty thought she wanted Bai Xifeng to ignore the royal decree? What if His Majesty misunderstood that?

"No... That is not what I mean." Bai Chunhua replied weakly.

Noble Consort Furen watched them with many thoughts in her mind. She had seen Bai Chunhua before. Many times. She had never seen her like this. She felt that Bai Chunhua changed a little bit.

"Since you reached a royal decree, I will not punish you for not kneeling down." Noble Consort Furen said. "You may rise." frёeωebɳovel.com

All of the girls stood up.

"You can speak comfortably. Don’t mind me at all." Noble Consort Furen stated.

Even though Noble Consort Furen already told them to act comfortably, they did not dare to act like that. They needed to watch their behaviour.

Bai Xifeng acted like Noble Consort Furen said. She acted comfortably. She ate the snack. The girls only tasted some and not eating anymore. What a waste. Well, she would eat them since not one ate them.
