When the senior eunuch guarding the grand entrance spotted them approaching, he immediately raised his voice to announce Bai Xifeng's arrival to the throne room. Only after receiving explicit imperial permission inside did the eunuch step aside and gesture for Bai Xifeng to enter.
Bai Xifeng adjusted her sleeves and walked inside with smooth, confident strides.
Xiao Li instinctively moved to follow her young miss into the hall, but the guard eunuch instantly put out an arm to block her path.
"Only Young Lady Bai is granted permission to enter the inner hall. Servants must wait outside." The eunuch stated firmly.
Bai Xifeng paused her footsteps and glanced back over her shoulder.
"Xiao Li, just wait out here. I will be fine inside. There is no need to worry." Bai Xifeng said casually.
Since her young miss had spoken, Xiao Li immediately obeyed. She bowed respectfully and stepped back to wait outside the doors.
