That was right. Due to General Bai's success in defending the country, the emperor granted Bai Xiang and his descendants special permission.
The special permission was they could be excluded from kneeling to any of the royal family. That also included the Emporer himself.
So, why should Bai Xifeng kneel to the royal decree? To be honest, Bai Xifeng was glad that they had granted that special permission.
She was from the modern world that ideology was different from ancient times. In the modern world, everyone was equal. Maybe the modern people also had the rules that needed to be paid attention to but it was not so strict compared to the ancient times.
Eunuch Ming remembered that decree. The emperor indeed granted special permission to Bai Xiang's descendants. He coughed.
"Sure. Third Young Miss, you don't need to kneel." Eunuch Ming said.
Bai Huiling glanced at Bai Xifeng with an envious expression. She also wanted that special permission.
Eunuch Ming opened the scroll and read it. "Bai Xifeng has violated the honour of the royal family. So, We announced that your engagement with the crown prince would be nullified. However, you don't need to worry about your marriage. So, we already arranged another one for you. You will be engaged to my third son, Prince Liu Longwei."
Bai Xifeng who listened to that felt ridiculous. 'He broke up my previous engagement because I violated the honour of the royal family but he pushed me to his other son. Is this emperor's head alright?' She thought.
"Third Young Miss Bai, please receive this royal decree." Eunuch Ming pushed the scroll to Bai Xifeng.
Seeing Bai Xifeng did not move to take the decree, they gulped.
"Third Young Miss Bai." Eunuch Ming called Bai Xifeng's name once again.
"Oh, sure... Sure..." Bai Xifeng took the scroll.
Eunuch Ming thought this third young miss must be sad having her engagement with the crown prince broken. He was sympathetic to her.
If Bai Xifeng knew what Eunuch Ming thought about her right now, she would roll her eyes to the back of her head. She was not sad at all. She was kind of happy. Finally, she could get rid of that man.
As for another new prince that she just got engaged to, she could think of another way to get rid of the engagement later.
"Everyone, you can stand up right now." Eunuch Ming said.
Everyone stood up slowly. Old Madam Bai had her maids to help her stood up properly.
Bai Chunhua was very happy to hear the royal decree. However, she controlled her expression, not showing much expression regarding that business.
Han Yunru and Bai Huiling were also happy with this news. They knew that the next crown princess would be Bai Chunhua.
The crown prince, Liu Jun had feeling for Bai Chunhua. It was a matter of time before Liu Jun got engaged to Bai Chunhua.
"I have delivered the royal decree. It is time for me to go back to the palace." Eunuch Ming stated.
"If that is so, may you have a safe travel?" Old Madam Bai said.
Eunuch Ming left Bai Residence. As soon as Enunch Ming disappeared from their sight, Bai Huiling started to laugh and mock Bai Xifeng.
"It finally happen. Bai Xifeng, you finally get dumped by His Highness." Bai Huiling smirked. "On top of that, you will get to marry a foo prince. But it is the perfect combination, right? After all, you are a trash and he is a fool."
Bai Chunhua did not say anything. She just smiled proudly as she seemed to be showing off to Bai Xifeng.
"My sister will be the crown princess." Bai Huiling said.
"Huiling, you can not say something like that. It had not been confirmed yet." Bai Chunhua responded.
"His Highness has feelings for you, sister. He will take you as his crown princess." Bai Huiling claimed.
"Yes, my daughter is a perfect match to His Highness. I am sure that His Highness is making a necessary arrangement to take you as his crown princess." Han Yunru added, agreeing with what Bai Huiling said.
"A word for advice. You should not be so sure about the thing that still not happening yet." Bai Xifeng said.
"Bai Xifeng, you are a sore loser. You are just jealous of my sister." Bai Huiling replied to Bai Xifeng's words.
"Sure... Sure... Think whatever you want. I don't care. Since the matter is over, I will return to my courtyard. I just hope that nobody would come and disturb me there. Otherwise, I will not be polite." Bai Xifeng said as she glanced at Bai Shaoqing.
Bai Shaoqing saw the glance and immediately hid behind his mother.
Bai Xifeng yawned as she walked away. Her action had been observed by Xiao Shuchun.
Xiao Shuchun was surprised by Bai Xifeng's change. The change was so big that she also doubted whether this person was her niece or not.
If not for that monk, she also would believe that her niece had been possessed by someone else. She was not stupid like Han Yunru. She could feel that the current Bai Xifeng could achieve something.
She did not want to be the enemy of this person. She looked at her son, Bai Yongnian and Bai Huizhong.
"Yongnian, Huizhong, listen to your mother. If Shaoqing asks you to join him to disturb your third sister, don't follow him, okay?" Xiao Shuchun reminded her sons.
"i will listen to Mum." Bai Yongnian said.
"Me too." Bai Huizhong nodded.
