"I told you, she's usually so arrogant and proud like a peacock. How come she hasn't shown up these days? Turns out she can't face people herself."
"Serves her right! I've long disliked her behavior. I don't think the Crown Prince would marry a woman full of freckles as his wife, right?"
Zhao Yunqian laughed proudly. She couldn't stand Li Yuyue's ostentatious appearance on ordinary days.
Baili Hongzhuang had a faint smile on her lips and didn't respond.
"But this is already the second engagement for the Crown Prince. If it's canceled again, then..."
Shao Zifan's expression froze. If this got out, the Crown Prince would become a laughingstock.
If the engagement was canceled again and another woman was chosen as the Crown Princess, then... it would be a big sensation in the Fengbo Kingdom.
Speaking of which, everyone couldn't help but look at Baili Hongzhuang, silently sighing, "The Crown Prince really suffered a big loss this time!"
Shortly after, Xuan Yuanhuan also appeared at the auction.
However, as soon as he entered the hall, Xuan Yuanhuan felt the slightly strange gazes of the people.
The usually arrogant face now lacked some pride and had a hint of helplessness.
He didn't win first place in the Royal Hunting Competition, and his fiancée had this issue.
Before coming here, he heard his father and mother discussing whether to cancel the engagement again, and he felt a sense of powerlessness.
He really didn't understand why he had been so unlucky lately!
Everything was going wrong!
The people who were previously discussing the matter also closed their mouths, and the bustling hall instantly quieted down.
Baili Hongzhuang surveyed the auction hall of Tianxiang Trading Company. The bright hall was spacious enough to accommodate hundreds of people, and its layout was understated yet exquisite, clearly indicating its high value without overshadowing the guests.
Her gaze shifted, and Baili Hongzhuang's eyes fell on the Appraisal Hall on the left.
That was where the auction items were stored.
"You guys wait for me here for a moment. I'll go to the Appraisal Hall," Baili Hongzhuang suddenly spoke up.
Shao Zifan looked at Baili Hongzhuang in surprise. "Are you going to consign treasures?"
Baili Hongzhuang nodded with a light smile, "Yes."
"But consigning treasures usually happens before the start of the auction. If you do it now, you'll have to wait for the next auction. You won't catch this one."
"It's okay, I'll go take a look first."
Baili Hongzhuang's smile remained. Refusing to accept treasures was because your treasures didn't have enough value.
If your treasures had enough value, even if you missed this one, they would find a way to make sure you catch the next one.
Seeing Baili Hongzhuang enter the Appraisal Hall, Shao Zifan and Zhao Yunqian glanced at each other and shrugged.
When Baili Hongzhuang walked into the Appraisal Hall, she saw an elderly man in his sixties, supporting his head with one hand and dozing off. His head occasionally nodded down but never hit the table.
"Elder." Baili Hongzhuang called out.
However, the elder was obviously sleeping too soundly. Baili Hongzhuang's words didn't wake him up at all.
"Elder!"
Baili Hongzhuang raised her voice, calling out again.
Bang!
The noise finally startled the elder, and his chin immediately hit the table.
"Ouch!" The old man touched his chin and angrily said, "Who disturbed my sleep?"
Baili Hongzhuang smiled lightly, "Elder, I've come to consign treasures."
