The poisonous woman is frivolous, please be gentle with me, Your Highness.

Chapter 108 Refusal to Accept the Order
Bai Yan helplessly watched her leave, turned back to look at Bai Qianxi, and said in a gentle tone, "Wu Niang, don't bother with Yi'er. She is still young and doesn't understand. I will talk to her properly when I get back."

Bai Qianxi sneered. Still young? Younger than her?

This heart is too biased.

Bai Qianxi didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore, so she turned around and was about to leave.

"You rebellious girl! Can't you just listen to your father for a while?" Seeing her like this, Bai Yan couldn't control his anger again, but then he reacted.

The speed of face changing is jaw-dropping.

"Wu Niang, I'm sorry. Daddy didn't mean it. It was just that you were too naughty when you were a child. Otherwise, Daddy wouldn't have treated you like that. I admit that I have neglected you a little in the past few years, but I was doing it for your own good."

"If it weren't for this, how could you be so strong and brave today? Sure enough, Daddy was right about you..."

Listening to these so-called warm words, Bai Qianxi just felt very disgusted, "Just say what you want to say."

Bai Yan stopped talking suddenly.

Seeing that the person in front of him still had that cold face, Bai Yan's expression suddenly turned ugly.

He has already let go of his attitude, what else does she want from him? He has provided her with food and drink for all these years, but he still raised an ungrateful person.

So he just said bluntly, "You saw how the Second Prince treated you today. The Second Prince said he would come again next time. Next time, you——"

"So you mean that when he comes next time, I have to serve him like a slave?" Bai Qianxi interrupted.

"you!"

Bai Yan glared at her. Why did she have to say such harsh words?

He did this for her own good.

Following the Second Prince, she would have a promising future ahead of her. What else could she be unhappy about?
"You are such a good father to me." Bai Qianxi bit the last two words, her eyes meaningful.

After saying that, he was about to leave.

"The imperial edict has arrived!" Suddenly, a sharp shout came from outside the door.

Bai Yan didn't bother to scold Bai Qianxi anymore. He quickly straightened his clothes and went to meet her.

"You rebellious girl, hurry up and follow me!" Bai Yan glared at Bai Qianxi.
As I walked to the front door, a pale, beardless man came into view.

When Bai Yan saw the person coming, his eyes widened instantly, and the smile on his face became even more flattering. "Eunuch De, what brings you here? Why do you have to come here in person?"

This eunuch is the emperor's chief steward.

Unless it is a big deal, she will stay by the emperor's side and will never leave the palace easily.

Bai Yan became more cautious. He couldn't afford to offend this person.

"Master Bai, I am here to deliver an imperial decree, so I won't chat with you about the past. Is your fifth daughter here? Call her out."

Deyu held his head high and did not take Bai Yan's flattery seriously.

But when he thought of the imperial edict in his hand, he was still polite.

Bai Yan was slightly stunned, then quickly reacted, "Please wait a moment, sir. My daughter will be here soon."

In addition, he also asked his servants to quickly notify the rest of the people in the mansion.

"Don't worry, we can wait slowly." Deyu said with a smile on his face.

He knew the importance of that person to His Majesty, and he should respect this white girl who caught his eye, no matter what her abilities were.

Seeing Deyu's attitude, Bai Yan was slightly stunned.

However, when she saw the imperial edict in his hand, she quickly reacted. She didn't know what good luck that rebellious girl had to encounter such a good thing.

Soon, everyone finally arrived. "Receive the order."

"In compliance with the Will of Heaven, the Emperor hereby proclaims: I have a third son named Bei Ling. When he is ready to marry, I shall choose a virtuous woman to marry him. I have heard that the Bai family has a fifth daughter named Qian Xi, who is extremely talented and of a virtuous character. I am very pleased to hear this, and I hereby grant you the title of concubine to the Third Prince, and the Imperial Jade Butterfly. I shall report to the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to choose an auspicious date for the marriage."

As Deyu finished singing, everyone present widened their eyes, unable to believe their ears.

Bai Qianyi glared at Bai Qianxi fiercely, as if she wanted to eat her up!
This bitch, why!
"Miss Bai Wu, please accept the order."

Deyu had a gentle smile on her face. Even though the fifth girl was only a minor concubine now, it was a different story if she was favored.

Bai Qianxi was silent.

She hadn't expected this to happen.

Why did the imperial decree granting the marriage come down so quickly? She and Ye Beiling were just ordinary partners.

Seeing Bai Qianxi didn't move.

Bai Yan couldn't help but start to get anxious, why don't you answer it quickly!

Don’t you see that your father-in-law’s hands are tired of holding the imperial edict?
Bai Qianyi made a crazy wish in her heart, "Don't accept it! Don't accept it!"
"girl?"

There was a hint of hesitation in Deyu's tone as he looked at the person who was still silent.

Did she want to take the bridge?
Or are you dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by Your Majesty?
Thinking of this, Deyu's face also showed a hint of dissatisfaction. Could it be that she was relying on the favor of the Third Prince and was being arrogant here?
Seeing the changes on Deyu's face, Bai Yan became more nervous, while Bai Qianyi became more excited.

Yes! Bai Qianxi, that's it! Severely offend the father-in-law!
Bai Yulang and Bai Yushu also became more worried at this time. Xier/Fifth sister, no matter what, you should take over the imperial edict first.

Just when everyone was thinking different things, Bai Qianxi finally spoke, "I'm sorry, eunuch, I can't accept this imperial decree."

No one expected her to answer like this. Even Deyu, who had some guesses in his mind, was stunned for a moment. Then he reacted and narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Miss Bai, are you going to disobey my order?"

"No, no, no, father-in-law, you misunderstood." Bai Yan didn't care about much at this time, and said repeatedly, "My daughter was too excited to hear the news, and she said the wrong thing."

While comforting Deyu, he winked at Bai Qianxi, "Why don't you accept the imperial edict and apologize to your father-in-law?"

This damn girl, does she want to implicate the whole family?

Everyone was waiting for her to speak, but Bai Qianxi remained calm, "I am very sober. I cannot accept this imperial decree."

This is a matter of principle.

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall fell into silence.

No matter how good Deyu's attitude was, he couldn't help but look gloomy.

He had climbed up step by step from a small eunuch to his current position, and no one had ever been so disrespectful to him, let alone directly refusing an imperial order.

"Miss Bai, you have to think about the consequences of your actions."

Even if she is the one the Third Prince likes, he cannot allow her to offend the royal dignity like this!

Bai Yan even wanted to die.

He only regretted why he didn't strangle this evil girl to death when she was born, instead of her dragging the whole family into the water now!
I'm afraid that the Bai family's lifelong business will be destroyed today!
Just thinking about it makes me feel the blood rushing to my heart!

"I..." Just as Bai Qianxi was about to speak again and confirm her answer, a stern voice rang out from the doorway, "Eunuch De."

It was Ye Beiling. Today he was still wearing a dark robe with a gold cloud pattern. His face looked cold and frosty. When he came in, even the air in the room seemed to become a little quieter.

Deyu didn't expect this person to come.

I couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Third Prince?"
