Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Going To The Royal Banquet

"Hmm...I would like to buy some female clothes. Can you recommend them to me?" Bai Xifeng said.

"Sure. Sure. It is my pleasure." The shopkeeper nodded. "Here, we have new clothes. It is very suitable to wear on a daily basis."

"Hmm... I need the clothes that are suitable for the banquet." Bai Xifeng cut the shopkeeper’s speech.

"Oh, in that case, how about these clothes? The colour was striking and would gather attention from all of the people..." The shopkeeper promoted a red colour dress.

"No, I want some soft and calm colour." Bai Xifeng interrupted again.

"I see..." The shopkeeper moved to other clothes. "Hmm... May I know, what range of age the female is? I forgot to ask about this earlier."

"Hmm... Around 14 years old." Bai Xifeng stated.

"I see. In that case, you can choose this blue colour. It gives a calm and stable look to the wearer. Or you can should this colour. The wearer will look refreshing. Or you can choose this soft yellow that gives you a sweet, kind innocent look." The shopkeeper worked hard to promote the clothes to this young man.

Bai Xifeng looked at the clothes that the shopkeeper had promoted to her. She touched the yellow colour one.

This yellow colour was very good for her little maid, Xiao Li. She was thinking... Since she was already here to buy some clothes, she could also buy clothes for Xiao Li and her as well.

The current clothes that she had right now mostly were hand-me-down clothes from Bai Chunhua and Bai Huiling. She had a small figure compared to both of them. So, their old clothes were fit for her.

’Hmm... This yellow colour is very good for Xiao Li.’ Bai Xifeng nodded. She already decided to buy these clothes for Bai Xifeng.

"Hmm... Do you have another style?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Of course." The shopkeeper nodded.

She brought Bai Xifeng to another section and showed different styles of dress. She carefully explained to her customer.

In the end, Bai Xifeng chose 3 clothes on a daily basis, 2 dresses for the banquet and 2 clothes for Xiao Li. She spends almost fifty thousand yuan.

’Tsk, the clothes are much more expensive than I thought.’ Bai Xifeng clicked her tongue while making the payment. ’Well, once in a while, it is not bad.’ She comforted herself.

The shopkeeper was very happy when she saw the purchase. Her eyes were right. This customer was a golden customer. Her hands were shaking when she saw the customer putting his purchases into the space bag.

Bai Xifeng thanked the shopkeeper and left the shop. It was time for her to go home. She took the same path.

She arrived home and saw Xiao Li teasing Baihu. Sensing her presence, Baihu ran toward her. He jumped straight into her arms.

"You are back, Young Miss." Xiao Li greeted Bai Xifeng.

"Oh, before I forget... Clean all of this and let them dry." Bai Xifeng took out the clothes that she bought earlier.

"This... Are there your clothes for the royal banquet?" Xiao Li asked.

"Yeah... I am working to wear the azure one." She then pointed to two clothes. Yellow and soft pink. "These two are for you."

"What? Do you buy these two for me? No... No... No... I can’t accept that." Xiao Li shook her head.

She could not casually receive them like this. Her young miss already gave her the pill and elixir.

"You need to receive these. It is an order." Bai Xifeng used the phrase ’order’ to make Xiao Li accept her gift.

Hearing the phrase, Xiao Li reluctantly accepted the gift.

"Xiao Li, I will give your gifts in the future. Just accept it okay? You are worth it." Bai Xifeng patted Xiao Li’s head.

"Thank you, Young Miss." Xiao Li thanked her young Miss.

....

It was the day. The Royal Banquet Day. The carriage parked in front of General Bai Residence waiting for their passengers to ride them.

Bai Chunhua and Bai Huiling would ride in one carriage. They still had to wait for one person. That person was Bai Xifeng.

"Where is she? Don’t she know we can’t be late?’ Bai Chunhua clicked her tongue.

"How could she know? She never attends a banquet like this." Bai Huiling replied sarcastically.

Yeah, Bai Xifeng never attended any kind of banquet in the past. Why? Because Bai Family was embarrassed to show one of their kin could not cultivate and trash.

Bai Chunhua did not notice the tone used by Bai Huiling at all. She began to talk shit about Bai Xifeng.

"Probably, the clothes do not fit her." Bai Chunhua snorted. Then she continued. "If she does not come in another 5 minutes, then we are leaving."

She wondered if Bai Xifeng really dare to wear the clothes that they prepared for her. Then, she was probably wearing it because she did not have another option. She never had new clothes for almost 12 years.

The door of the carriage was opened from the outside. Bai Chunhua and Bai Huiling turned their head and looked over.

Both of them looked shocked when they saw a cute girl suddenly enter their carriage.

"Wait? Who are you?" Bai Huiling said?

"After being beaten up by me, you lost your memory. How said." Bai Xifeng joked.

"What? Bai Xifeng???" Bai Chunhua frowned.

"How could it be you?" Bai Huiling shouted.

"Why can’t I be me?" Bai Xifeng threw the question back to the two girls. "What? Are you guys really shocked by my fresh and angelic appearance?"

Bai Xifeng wore an azure dress. Combined with a pair of silver earing and a white jade hairpin making Bai Xifeng looked like an immortal descended from heaven.

Bai Chunhua was jealous of seeing Bai Xifeng like this. She already knew in her heart that she could not win Bai Xifeng by beauty but by her strength.

She was afraid that the crown prince would regret breaking up the engagement.

"Why are you not wearing the clothes that Grandma prepared for you?" Bai Chunhua asked.

"Why you ask?" Bai Xifeng dragged her word while observing Bai Chunhua and Bai Huiling’s reaction.

Bai Chunhua began tense. ’Does she know about the plan? Sure enough. She must know the plan. But how? Who tells her?’

"Who would like to wear such ugly clothes like that? And that colour is horrible. Such a bad taste. Old Madam Bai needs to restrain herself from choosing the clothes for us. She has a bad sense of choosing the clothes." Bai Xifeng said.

Hearing this from Bai Xifeng’s sentences, Bai Xifeng must not realize the true plan that Bai Chunhua had for Bai Xifeng. Bai Chunhua was relieved.

However, the plan could not proceed since Bai Xifeng did not wear the clothes. Well, never mind. She would think of another plan to humiliate Bai Xifeng.

The thing, for now, was to arrive at the palace and attend the royal banquet.

"Let’s move now." Bai Chunhua said to the horseman.

The carriage was finally moving. Even though the carriage looked luxurious, Bai Xifeng was not comfortable riding it. Too many bumps. It made Bai Xifeng want to throw up.

To hold it back, Bai Xifeng took out something. It was sour fruit. She quickly put it inside her mouth. Even though she still was feeling nauseous, she felt a lot better.

"What is wrong with you?" Bai Chunhua asked.

She could not help to ask but because she did not want people to know that she was the heartless person who did not care about her sick younger cousin.

"She must be feeling sick because she is not used to using the carriage. What a down." Bai Huiling said.

Bai Chunhua snorted at Bai Xifeng. ’Stupid’. She remembered what her grandmother asked her to say to Bai Xifeng.

"Third Sister, remember not to be so arrogant when you enter the palace. Otherwise, you might bring trouble to our family." Bai Chunhua conveyed the message left by Old Madam Bai.

Bai Xifeng did not answer that and just smiled. Well, if people did not act arrogant in front of her, then it was okay. If they did that to her, she would do the same.

Deep down in her heart, she was kind of excited to see the real situation in front of her eyes. An ancient royal party.
