Xuan Yuan Huan currently only has concubines and no formal wife. The original Crown Princess has already been deposed, and another woman should be chosen as the Crown Princess.
For a while, all the ministers were eager and began preparing.
If their daughters or close relatives were chosen by the Crown Prince as the Crown Princess, it would be like soaring to the top and becoming a phoenix. In the future, they might even become the Empress!
The Emperor had issued a decree that all officials with unmarried daughters must attend the banquet, including Bai Li Hong Zhuang.
After learning of this news, a trace of interest appeared in Bai Li Hong Zhuang's beautiful eyes.
As the deposed Crown Princess, she thought to herself, wouldn't she be ridiculed by everyone?
She wondered what the Emperor's intentions were by having her witness Xuan Yuan Huan selecting the Crown Princess. It seemed to have some meaning.
"Master, are you going to attend the selection banquet?" Little Black asked excitedly while munching on pastries.
Bai Li Hong Zhuang took a sip of tea, and a subtle smile appeared on her delicate and elegant face.
"Since it's been ordered for everyone to attend, I naturally have to go as well."
"But won't you be ridiculed?" Little Black frowned, not wanting to see his master being mocked. The identity of a deposed Crown Princess was indeed embarrassing.
Upon hearing this, the corners of Bai Li Hong Zhuang's mouth curved even more, and her eyes revealed a sense of pride and jest.
"If I am ridiculed, then wouldn't it be even more interesting for Bai Li Yu Yan?"
As the deposed Crown Princess, everyone had already guessed that she would be in this position.
Ever since the day she was deemed worthless, it was destined that she would have no connection with the position of the Crown Princess.
Bai Li Yu Yan had cunningly seduced Xuan Yuan Huan, only to be abandoned by him, which made her even more embarrassed.
"Besides, I don't plan to attend as the former Bai Li Hong Zhuang."
Her jet-black eyes shimmered with a brilliant light. It was time for her true self to be revealed!
Little Black and Little White were taken aback, their moist eyes widening with surprise.
After waiting for so long, they finally awaited the day when their master would reveal her true face to the world!
"That's great!"
Bai Li Hong Zhuang's smile was bright, but her hands gradually clenched.
Bai Li Hong Zhuang, I will help you regain all the humiliation and resentment you've endured!
I will let everyone know that you are not worthless!
In contrast to Bai Li Hong Zhuang's composure, Bai Li Yu Yan felt like dying.
Now, the last thing she wanted was to go out and face people, especially having to watch Xuan Yuan Huan select the Crown Princess at the selection banquet!
Since the incident at the Divine Physician's Court, she had become the focus of discussions among everyone, and even her father's attitude towards her had changed.
Not only that, those who had previously proposed marriage to her had vanished without a trace, not a single one left.
She felt that her life was over!
If the Crown Prince didn't want her, then perhaps no one would dare to marry her anymore!
How could she, the proud daughter of heaven, fall to such a state?
She simply didn't want to go out and face people anymore. She just wanted everyone to forget about her.
But the selection banquet had ruined her plans. She had to go out, and it was making her extremely annoyed.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The moon rose above the willow branches, and the cool breeze was like water.
The daughters of the ministers were all meticulously dressed, all for the evening's selection banquet.
In the General's residence, it was cold and desolate. Bai Li Zhen Tao's face was gloomy, and if possible, he really didn't want to attend this selection banquet!
