Ever since Hong Zhuang rejected him that day, he hadn't seen her again, but he had never been able to forget her.
Perhaps it was because no woman had ever rejected him in these years, or perhaps it was because Hong Zhuang was too charming. During this period, he had been constantly infatuated with her.
Today, after Bai Li Hong Zhuang dressed up, she exuded a captivating charm. The previously impressive Miss Guan Jia lost all her radiance in an instant.
In his eyes, only Hong Zhuang remained.
The women who had been trying to attract Xuan Yuan Huan's attention with their coquettish behavior now had unpleasant expressions after seeing Bai Li Hong Zhuang steal all their limelight.
"Today is the Crown Prince's selection banquet. What is Hong Zhuang doing here?"
Envious and dissatisfied voices whispered, as many people knew about Hong Zhuang rejecting Xuan Yuan Huan. Could it be that she had changed her mind?
Bai Li Yu Yan stepped forward directly and said, "Hong Zhuang, this is a royal banquet. You are not an official lady, how can you be here?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all eyes fell on Bai Li Hong Zhuang, and even the Emperor and Empress noticed the commotion.
Bai Li Hong Zhuang's lips curled into a bewitching smile, with a hint of allure, adding to her ethereal beauty.
"Sister, don't you recognize me?" Her cold and mocking voice held a hint of irony as Bai Li Hong Zhuang stared fixedly at Bai Li Yu Yan. She also wanted to see Bai Li Yu Yan's expression.
Hearing that familiar voice, Bai Li Yu Yan seemed as if she had seen a ghost, looking at Bai Li Hong Zhuang in astonishment. "You... who are you?"
"I am Bai Li Hong Zhuang."
Bai Li Hong Zhuang spoke slowly, with a firm and unquestionable tone!
I am Bai Li Hong Zhuang!
She openly declared her true identity to everyone!
Everyone present stared blankly at Bai Li Hong Zhuang; this name was not unfamiliar to them!
The deposed Crown Prince's consort!
The legitimate daughter of the General's Manor, a useless cultivator!
Under these titles, Bai Li Hong Zhuang had become a joke in everyone's eyes, a pitiful object of sympathy!
However, looking at the radiant figure before them, no one could connect the two.
"It's impossible. How could you be Bai Li Hong Zhuang!"
Bai Li Yu Yan widened her eyes, intense shock filling her heart, not even caring about her own image.
Compared to Bai Li Yu Yan's loss of composure, Bai Li Hong Zhuang remained calm and composed, exuding elegance in every movement.
"We have lived together for over a decade. Even if you blinded me with poison, I have never forgotten your appearance. And now, standing before you, you can't even recognize me. It's really heartbreaking."
Bai Li Hong Zhuang smiled faintly, stating such a brutal fact, yet her expression seemed as if she were not the person involved.
The entire scene erupted, and everyone forgot their actions, completely immersed in the truth that Bai Li Hong Zhuang revealed.
"Hong Zhuang, Bai Li Hong Zhuang, so this Hong Zhuang girl is the legitimate daughter of the General's Manor!"
Suddenly realizing, the crowd had only found the name Hong Zhuang somewhat familiar, never imagining that there would be such a connection!
"Bai Li Hong Zhuang claims that Bai Li Yu Yan blinded her with poison?"
"Bai Li Yu Yan is capable of even snatching her sister's fiancé. Blinding Bai Li Hong Zhuang is not impossible at all."
