She dressed up nicely and walked out of the Yaxuan Pavilion towards the main gate of the General's residence.
The servants widened their eyes in surprise and disbelief when they saw Bai Li Hong Zhuang. They were filled with confusion and curiosity.
"Who is this girl? How did she appear in the residence?"
"I just saw her coming out of the Yaxuan Pavilion. Could she be the Second Miss?"
"Are you kidding? The Second Miss is blind. This girl looks more like the Red Robed Lady from the Divine Physician's Residence!"
The servants were puzzled, but none of them dared to stop Bai Li Hong Zhuang.
Just by looking at her, they could tell that she had a distinguished status. Stopping her would be equivalent to seeking death.
However, when Bai Li Hong Zhuang saw the sedan chair prepared for her at the gate, a mocking expression appeared on her beautiful face.
Because in her line of sight, there was only the sedan chair, and there were no sedan bearers!
They simply didn't want her to attend the selection banquet!
"How despicable!" Xiao Hei's face turned angry. "Master, should we find some sedan bearers?"
Just then, a series of footsteps gradually approached from a distance. Bai Li Hong Zhuang focused her gaze and saw an extremely magnificent sedan chair slowly approaching.
Bai Li Hong Zhuang wasn't surprised. This should also be a sedan chair heading to the palace, but she didn't know which court official it belonged to.
"Madam, it seems like you won't be able to enter the palace. How about... we go together?" A warm and smiling voice suddenly came from the sedan chair, with a teasing and familiar tone.
Bai Li Hong Zhuang was slightly stunned. She saw Emperor Bei Chen lifting the curtain, looking at her with a smile on his face.
"Alright!"
Bai Li Hong Zhuang raised her eyebrows and smiled. Obviously, Emperor Bei Chen had known her identity long ago, so he wasn't surprised to see her at this moment.
Back when she first met Emperor Bei Chen, she felt that he was extraordinary, so she didn't want to have too much contact with him. However, now she had already interacted with him several times, whether she liked it or not.
Although this guy always spoke with a touch of frivolousness, she could tell that Emperor Bei Chen didn't mean her any harm.
As for Emperor Bei Chen's own secrets, she had no intention of probing into them.
Seeing Bai Li Hong Zhuang readily accepting, a hint of surprise flashed in Emperor Bei Chen's eyes.
It seems that his wife is also a clever person!
It wasn't until Bai Li Hong Zhuang got on the sedan chair that Xiao Hei touched his head in confusion. Miss Bai Li used to jump around in annoyance whenever she saw the Young Master, so when did their relationship become so harmonious?
"It seems like you're not having a good time in the General's residence," Emperor Bei Chen said slowly.
Bai Li Hong Zhuang shrugged her shoulders. "The world thinks that you, the disabled prince, are having a hard time, but in reality, you're living carefree, aren't you?"
Upon hearing this, a broader smile spread across Emperor Bei Chen's face. His already exceptionally handsome face now had a charming smile, exuding a deadly charm.
"In that case, I and the lady are kindred spirits."
"If you weren't so shameless, maybe we would be."
Bai Li Hong Zhuang smiled with her eyes and understood that Emperor Bei Chen had no ill intentions towards her. Their interaction had become more natural after realizing this.
"Today, you are entering the palace in such an appearance. I'm afraid there will be a lot of gossip. Be careful not to anger the Emperor."
Emperor Bei Chen's voice suddenly became heavier and more serious. Bai Li Hong Zhuang was slightly startled. Was this guy actually concerned about her?
She also understood the risks she would face when entering the palace today. After all, she had always presented herself as the Red Robed Lady. It didn't matter when facing others, but if the Emperor took offense, she would be guilty of deceiving the monarch!
