A concubine? You're more like a joke. I'd rather send you to your death.

"Young Miss is so beautiful, she is the most beautiful person I have ever seen."

Xiao Tao looked on with admiration.

"This face is indeed very beautiful."

Bai Luoluo had to admit that her face was stunningly beautiful after the detoxification.

At the entrance of the General's Mansion, Bai Qianqian sat in the carriage waiting for Bai Luoluo.

After waiting for a long time, Bai Luoluo still didn't come out.

Just as Bai Qianqian was about to explode in anger, she saw the person slowly and leisurely walk out.

"Young Miss, the Second Young Miss has been waiting for you in the car for quite some time."

The coachman said respectfully.

"Is it?"

Bai Luoluo stepped onto the stool and boarded the carriage.

“My elder sister arrived too late. If she misses the appointed time, she will anger the Emperor, and the General’s Mansion will be implicated.”

At this moment, Bai Qianqian was dressed in a pink dress and wore heavy hairpins, making her look dazzling with jewels.

"I didn't ask you to wait. Since you're willing to wait, stop babbling. You're giving me a headache."

Bai Luoluo smiled coldly and sat down to rest with her eyes closed.

She didn't want to look at Bai Qianqian's hypocritical face, afraid that she wouldn't be able to control herself and slap her again.

"you........."

Bai Qianqian was furious and clenched her fists.

You little slut, just wait until the palace banquet and see how arrogant you are then.

As the carriage traveled along, the occasional shouts and calls of vendors could be heard.

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Luoluo almost fell asleep.

"Ladies, we've arrived at the palace gate."

At this moment, the carriage came to a steady stop.

The coachman said respectfully.

"Eldest sister, let's get off the carriage."

After Bai Qianqian finished speaking, she got off the carriage alone.

Bai Luoluo opened her eyes, straightened her clothes, and reluctantly got off the carriage.

The palace gates were bustling with activity, with countless carriages, young noblemen and ladies dressed in their finest attire, making it a veritable grand fashion show.

Looking at the majestic imperial city, Bai Luoluo narrowed her eyes.

The palace is majestic and solemn, with red walls reflecting the sun. The towering walls, like a giant dragon coiled around, symbolize the supreme power of the emperor.

"What is my elder sister looking at?"

Bai Qianqian noticed that she was staring at the city wall and couldn't help but feel curious.

"Check if there are any wandering ghosts or spirits."

Turning her gaze away, Bai Luoluo lowered her eyes and said softly.

After all, too many people had died unjustly here, and she had no good feelings towards this magnificent place that everyone longed for.

Bai Qianqian was startled.

That scoundrel is definitely up to something; what nonsense is he spouting in broad daylight?

"Elder sister, you'd better be careful what you say."

"Mind your own business, I don't need your meddling."

Bai Luoluo took the waist token and headed straight for the palace gate, completely ignoring Bai Qianqian.

At the palace gate, palace eunuchs checked waist tokens, and imperial guards stood watch on both sides, making it extremely secure.

Bai Qianqian stomped her feet in anger, but she didn't dare to make a scene.

The young eunuch, who was fairly good-looking, reached out and took the waist token from Bai Luoluo's hand.

"So you are the eldest daughter of the Great General. Please follow this servant to the palace banquet."

The young eunuch returned the waist token to Bai Luoluo with a respectful expression.

At this moment, Bai Qianqian also came over and handed over the waist token.

"Please come in, Miss General."

The little eunuch smiled obsequiously.

Bai Qianqian showed a hint of disdain, and a silver ingot appeared in her hand.

"Please lead the way, Father-in-law."

The young eunuch was overjoyed when he received the silver.

"Please follow me, Miss."

When Bai Luoluo saw Bai Qianqian handing over the silver, the little eunuch who had been smiling at her just moments before immediately switched to an attitude as if Bai Qianqian were the legitimate daughter.

Seeing this, Bai Qianqian couldn't help but turn around and give her a smug look.

Bai Luoluo shrugged and followed behind the little eunuch.

"Second Miss, your arrival is just in time. Most of the young masters and young ladies have already arrived, so you two won't have to wait too long inside."

The little eunuch smiled and said to Bai Qianqian.

"I wonder if the Fifth Prince has arrived?"

Upon hearing this, the young eunuch replied in a low voice, "They haven't arrived yet; they'll probably be a little late."

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Before long, they arrived at the palace.

"Ladies, this is the venue for the palace banquet. Please go in."

"Thank you."

At this moment, Bai Qianqian looked every bit the refined young lady.

Bai Luoluo couldn't stand her pretentious manner and walked straight past her into the hall.

The two middle-aged eunuchs at the door looked much more composed than the young eunuch who had been there earlier.

Seeing that Bai Luoluo was wearing a veil, the two eunuchs couldn't recognize her.

"May I ask who you are, miss?"

Because the seats in the hall had already been assigned according to rank.

"The legitimate daughter of the General of the Nation's Mansion".

Bai Luoluo knew, and replied in a cool tone.

"Miss Bai, please follow me inside."

One of the eunuchs bowed respectfully and said...

"Thank you."

Bai Qianqian arrived shortly afterward, and since she was a frequent face to be seen, the two eunuchs naturally recognized her.

The middle-aged eunuch led Bai Luoluo and Bai Qianqian to the seats that had been arranged beforehand.

The moment she entered the main hall, Bai Luoluo became the center of attention.

After all, none of the young ladies were wearing veils, but the moment they saw Bai Qianqian, they knew who this mysterious woman was.

"Who do we have here? It's Sister Luo."

Liu Yulan was wearing a light green dress, and her makeup was elegant and sophisticated, which made her delicate face even more charming and beautiful. At this moment, she was looking at her with a smile.

"It's been a few days since I last saw Miss Bai, and her outfit is truly refreshing and elegant."

Qin Mujin, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue, wore a white dress with plum blossoms on it. She had striking features, a slightly chubby face, single eyelids, a small nose, and an ordinary face that was full of mockery.

"After three days apart, Miss Bai is truly extraordinary. I wonder if there have been any changes beneath the veil?"

Lou Xinyue, the legitimate daughter of the Vice Minister of War, wore a light purple dress. She was petite and delicate, with small, cherry-like features, an upturned cherry-like mouth, and eyes that revealed disdain.

"I am not familiar with you."

Bai Luoluo, her eyes filled with coldness, sat down directly in her seat.

The three ladies were immediately annoyed by the simple statement that they were not familiar with the situation.

However, given that they were in public, they didn't dare to go too far.

Some young noblemen kept staring at her.

"Sister Luo'er, I didn't understand the whole story that day, which caused you to suffer. I apologize to you today, and I hope you won't be angry."

At this moment, Liu Yulan walked over, looking gentle and graceful.

“Miss Liu, please stop calling me ‘sister.’ My mother has been buried for over a decade, and I am the only child in the family.”

A weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken—it's clear it has no good intentions.

A feigned friendship might be hiding some wicked intentions.

Bai Luoluo scoffed at the female lead in the original novel, saying she had warped values, was ruthless and vicious, and would stop at nothing to achieve her goals. She believed such a woman did not deserve the title of female lead.

At this moment, Liu Yulan looked embarrassed. She didn't expect that Bai Luoluo, who was usually easy to talk to, would be so disrespectful to her.

“Miss Bai is right, it is my fault.”

Her tone was somewhat aggrieved, and many of the young ladies and gentlemen present felt that Bai Luoluo was ungrateful.

After all, Liu Yulan is the daughter of the Prime Minister and the future wife of the Third Prince.

"The First Prince, the Second Prince, and the Third Prince have arrived."

At this moment, the eunuch at the door spoke.
