Su Xinyi was a bit surprised to see Hu Siyi but didn't think much of it and bowed with the Fourth Madam.
"Heaven's will and the Emperor's decree: Su Xinyi, daughter of Su Chun from the Qi Country Duke's Mansion, possesses the virtues that benevolence expects, and has been raised with proper discipline, coming from a distinguished family. Her gentle spirit and sincere character make her suitable to be educated in the Eastern Palace. She shall be named Crown Princess. This is the edict!"
After Hu Siyi finished reading the imperial decree, he expected the Qi Country Duke's Mansion to be overjoyed. However, everyone present was dumbfounded. What was going on?
"Master..." Hu Siyi had no choice but to call out.
The old master suddenly came to his senses and, with a complicated expression, led his family to bow and express their gratitude.
Su Xinyi was utterly stunned. Crown Princess...her?
What a joke!
How could she be the Crown Princess?
