Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Meet Her Fiance For The First Time

"Why do you think I am being rude? I am just asking a normal question here." Su Zhilan asked.

Tan Liqin could not answer the question.

There was a commotion at the entrance. Everyone looked over. Another noble consort came over. It was Noble Consort Guifei. Her face was pretty similar to Noble Consort Furen’s face.

"Greeting for Noble Consort Guifei."

The situation was the same as before. Everyone was kneeling except for Bai Xifeng.

Noble Consort Guifei noticed someone not kneeling. She quickly pointed at Bai Xifeng.

"Why don’t you kneel? Someone drag her away." Noble Consort Guifei shouted.

"Sister... You can not do that." Noble Consort Furen interfered.

"Huh? Why? She disrespected me. Why can’t I punish her?" Noble Consort Guifei asked.

"She received a royal decree stating she doesn’t need to kneel for any of the royal family members." Noble Consort Furen stated.

"What? Why does she receive the royal decree? Who is she?" Noble Consort Guifei asked.

"She is Bai Xifeng. Great General Bai Xiang’s daughter." Noble Consort Furen stated.

"Oh... That is her... Hmm..." Noble Consort Guifei smirked.

"Sister, everyone is still kneeling." Noble Consort Furen reminded her.

"Oh... You can rise now." Noble Consort Guifei stared.

Everyone stood up.

Bai Xifeng leaned over and asked Wan Qiaolian.

"Who is that?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"That is Noble Consort Guifei, Second Prince’s birth mother." Wan Qiaolian answered.

"I see." Bai Xifeng nodded.

Noble Consort Guifei sat at the pavilion where Noble Consort Furen sat.

"Sister, Bai Xifeng is your birth son’s former fiance, right?" Noble Consort Guifei asked.

"Yeah. Indeed." Noble Consort Furen was calm listening to Noble Consort Guifei’s question.

"Some of the rumours are different from the truth, I guess." Noble Consort Guifei chuckled. "Before this, I thought she is an ugly and fat girl. But now, I am surprised to see her. I think she is more beautiful than her elder sister... What is her name... Oh yeah, Bai Chunhua. The one whom your birth son wants to get married to, am I right, sister?"

"Just beautiful is not enough." Noble Consort Furen answered while looking at other young girls.

"Yes... Indeed... What a pity that such a girl like that could not cultivate..." Noble Consort Guifei stated.

Bai Chuahua and the other girls already left Bai Xifeng and her friends.

"How long do we need to wait here?" Want Qiaolian sighed.

"Sooner. Just wait." Su Zhilan stated.

"Huh? We will have to move? The banquet is not here?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Of course not." Su Zhilan said. "It is a side hall. The banquet holds in the main hall. You can see the throne where the emperor and empress sat together. Hmm... I can not describe the magnificence of the main hall." Su Zhilan said.

"Really? Is that magnificent as you say?" Bai Xifeng said.

"Of course." Both Su Zhilan and Wan Qiaolian answered.

"Everyone, you can move to the main hall right now." An eunuch came and announced that.

Everyone began to move. But they still needed to give a space for the two noble consorts to go first.

Bai Xifeng’s group was the last to leave the side hall. Why? That was because Bai Xifeng was stuffing her mouth with the food.

Su Zhilan and Wan Qiaolian were speechless seeing Bai Xifeng like that. Bai Xifeng chewed the food in her mouth while walking.

They finally arrived at the main hall. As Su Zhilan and Wan Qiaolian said, the main hall was very beautiful. It was also big.

They had a big space in the middle of the space. Bai Xifeng looked up and saw the throne. It was kind of similar to what she saw in the Forbidden City, in Beijing, China in her previous life.

Her friend was a geek in China history. Her friend pulled her to go to China to visit Forbidden City. And she was forced to listen to her friend’s explanation of Chinese history.

Even though she was Chinese, she spent most of her time overseas researching the poison. She only remembers China because of five years being with her master learning about herbs.

A eunuch led Bai Xifeng to her seat. Since her surname name was Bai, she was arranged to see with Bai Family.

She could see her second uncle with his wife and also her third uncle with his wife. Beside her second uncle, there were their daughters, Bai Chunhua and Bai Huiling.

Bai Xifeng’s seat was next to Xiao Shuchun. Her third uncle did not see his sons since they were young. It applied the same as Bai Shaoqing, Bai Guowei’s son.

Xiao Shuchun smiled greeting Bai Xifeng as Bai Xifeng passed her to go to the seat. Bai Xifeng just nodded to her.

Old Madam Bai had her seat beside Han Yunru. When Bai Xifeng happened to look in her direction, she was glaring at Bai Xifeng.

Perhaps she was angry at Bai Xifeng. For what? Probably because Bai Xifeng did not wear the clothes that she said she prepared.

Bai Xifeng ignored the angry look on Old Madam Bai’s face and looked around, admiring the hall.

Then, the eunuch announced the emperor, empress and all of the consorts entered the main hall followed by the princes and princesses.

Everyone kneeled and greeted the royal family. Bai Xifeng still stood. The emperor saw it and his eyes flickered.

He whispered to the eunuch and the eunuch responded to him. He seemed to nod several.

The royal family members also noticed Bai Xifeng’s behaviour. Liu Jun, the crown prince frowned when he saw Bai Xifeng’s act.

Liu Jun thought Bai Xifeng acted like this to attract his attention. He glared sharply at Bai Xifeng before moving his eyes in another direction.

Liu Wan, the second prince also looked at Bai Xifeng. He did not know this girl. He admired her behaviour of disrespect to the royal family members. He did not know if this girl was stupid or brave.

The royal family members sat at their seats.

"You may rise and sit down." The emperor, Liu Man stated.

After everyone sat, the emperor spoke again.

"Thank you for coming to this banquet. I am happy that you come to celebrate my 49th birthday." The emperor said. "I hope you can enjoy the banquet that we prepared for you."

"Imperial father, imperial father!" Someone called the emperor.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. It was the third prince, Liu Longwei.

The emperor turned and looked at Liu Longwei. His expression showed that he was displeased to be interfered with by Liu Longwei.

"What is it?" The emperor asked in a stern tone.

"You tell me that I can meet my fiance if I come to this banquet. Can I meet her right now?" Liu Longwei asked.

The emperor did not expect that Liu Longwei was eager to meet his fiance. He coughed.

"Your fiance is here." The emperor stated.

"Where is she?" Liu Longwei blinked his eyes like an idiot. Well, he was indeed an idiot.

Liu Jun chuckled. "Imperial Father, you should let the third brother sit next to his fiance. They can get to know others." He wanted to help.

His eyes looked at Bai Xifeng. Bai Xifeng did not look at him at all. Her eyes were on Liu Longwei. ’Hmph! They are indeed a match.’

"Daughter of Great General Bai, can you stand up?" The Emperor asked.

Bai Xifeng did not think much. She stood up.

"Longwei, that is your fiance. You can go and sit next to her. Don’t make trouble." The emperor stated while pointing at Bai Xifeng.

"Thank you, Imperial Father." Liu Longwei said while grinning.

After that, he rushed down to Bai Xifeng’s side. He smiled at Bai Xifeng like an idiot.

"Wife, I come to see you." Liu Longwei said.

He straightly called Bai Xifeng ’wife’. Bai Xifeng was speechless.

Bai Chunhua chuckled. The third prince was an idiot. Well, the only thing that he had was a handsome face. That was not enough to survive in this world. Well, they were suited to each other.

Everyone also thought that way. The unmarried girls were happy that the third prince had been engaged to the well-unknown trash. They did not have to worry anymore about being selected to be the fool’s third prince.

Bai Xifeng looked at Liu Longwei. This fool was a quite good-looking man. If in the modern world, he might be recruited to join the entertainment industry.
