Although what Hongyu said was correct, Xia Yuning still felt uncomfortable.
Ever since Bai Zhirou came back, she has become an inferior adopted daughter and her life has been unhappy in every way.
Now even Ji Tianzhuang is inferior to Bai Zhirou.
Princess Rong looked at these relatively luxurious things in front of her and felt sorry for Xia Yuning.
But what can be done? She is just an adopted daughter after all.
"You will be the Crown Prince's Consort in the future, also a third-rank official. Although you don't have the title of Princess Mingzhu, it's no less prestigious than others."
"Yu Ning, you are the best in my mother's heart."
Princess Rong's words dispelled Xia Yuning's concerns.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the coming-of-age ceremony. Because the two daughters were having their ceremonies at the same place, there were a lot of guests that day.
The clothes and jewelry that Princess Rong prepared for Bai Zhirou and Xia Yuning were of the same style, with only slight differences in size.
Xia Yuning is taller, while Bai Zhirou is slightly smaller. Both of them are beautiful in their own ways.
Bai Zhirou had just put on her first set of clothes and opened the door when she met Xia Yuning.
Both of them were dressed the same way. Xia Yuning's eyebrows and eyes were sharper, but in the eyes of outsiders, she looked weak.
"Today, my sister and I held our coming-of-age ceremony together, and I am very happy." Although she said this, there was no smile in Xia Yuning's eyes.
"Xia Yuning, although you and I were born on the same day of the same month of the same year, there is hatred between us. Sometimes I really don't know why you are so against me."
Bai Zhirou frowned, trying to find a flaw in Xia Yuning's face, but she concealed it very well.
The time for the coming-of-age ceremony had arrived, and the two of them, urged by their maids, climbed onto the high platform in the courtyard.
The two of them appeared together, dressed very similarly, which made people stunned for a moment.
But Chen Zhao recognized Bai Zhirou at a glance. Their eyes met in the air and then immediately looked away.
A hint of pink gradually spread in the air.
Because the two were children of the royal family, they symbolically paid homage to their ancestors.
When Xia Yuning was burning incense, she recalled the scene in the Bai family ancestral hall and felt a little scared.
With so many eyes looking at her, she was so nervous that her palms were sweating.
Bai Zhirou had already finished offering incense before she started.
Fortunately, the three incense sticks did not break at the same time this time, and the smoke drifted everywhere, choking people to tears.
The ceremony was chanted with a blessing, "When you first wear the ceremony of wearing the first hairpin, you will put on the clothes. Abandon your childish ambitions and follow your will to become a virtuous person."
The main guest was Princess Rong's grandmother, who was already eighty years old and quite famous, but she was no longer in charge of affairs.
This time, Princess Rong also took great pains to invite him over.
She took the comb from the maid and combed Bai Zhirou and Xia Yuning's hair in turn, wishing them a new chapter in their lives.
She combed her black hair into a simple bun and then pinned it with a wooden hairpin.
After three times of wearing the traditional clothes and adding the traditional hair styles, the hair buns gradually became more complicated and the hairpins gradually became more gorgeous.
The blessing words sung also changed from abandoning childhood ambitions to upholding the virtues of a wife, supporting her husband and raising her children.
After going through the whole process, the old man felt dizzy and exhausted.
Chen Zhao watched Bai Zhirou transform from a simple and lively appearance to a dignified and gorgeous appearance, and felt infinite emotion in his heart.
“Brother, do you think my sister-in-law is dazzled?” Shen Ruyi smiled playfully at him.
Shen Zhao was teased by his sister and couldn't help but use his elbow to support her head, using her as a crutch.
Shen Ruyi quickly moved to the side and escaped from her brother's clutches.
Dresses are heavy and naturally need to be changed.
When Bai Zhirou closed the door to take a shower and change clothes, Xia Yuning followed her in.
"Sister, I held my coming-of-age ceremony with you and got married on the same day as you. We are truly destined to be together."
Xia Yuning was still wearing a heavy and gorgeous dress, and she walked slowly behind Bai Zhirou.
"This kind of fate is tainted with your evil and hatred. I would rather not have it."
Bai Zhirou turned around and met her gaze, and keenly caught the hatred in her eyes that she had not had time to hide.
Once their identities were reversed, Bai Zhirou suffered for fourteen years in her place, while she enjoyed fourteen years of wealth and glory in Bai Zhirou's place.
Her parents became someone else's, her wealth also belonged to someone else, and even though her identity was now clear, Bai Zhirou still felt a gap in her heart.
There were only the two of them here, so Xia Yuning simply put away her disguise, her eyes looking sinister and cold.
"You should have died long ago, why did you struggle to live until now! You've disrupted all my life plans! If I don't get rid of you, I won't be able to live in peace!"
As soon as Xia Yuning finished speaking, a cold light flashed in her hand.
It was actually a dagger!
Bai Zhirou's eyes flashed, and she barely dodged it.
But there were some water stains in the dressing room, and she was barefoot because she was going to take a shower. She stepped on the water stain and lost her balance!
"Host, get out of the way!" The reproductive system shouted anxiously!
"Nonsense, I'm hiding now." Bai Zhirou tried hard to steady herself, pulled off a coat from the shelf and put it on, trying to escape.
But Xia Yuning wouldn't let her get away so easily!
She ran after Bai Zhirou like crazy, holding a dagger, with excitement shining in her eyes.
"Is this woman crazy? She chooses this time to kill me?" A mace appeared in Bai Zhirou's hand, and there was a click when she pressed the switch.
She ran around the table, calculated the time precisely, turned around, bent down and struck Xia Yuning in the waist!
Xia Yuning couldn't dodge in time and was electrocuted!
She was so weak that she could not stand steadily, but her hand was tightly grasping the dagger.
Hey, you haven't fallen down yet?
Bai Zhirou shocked her wrist again.
The dagger fell to the ground with a sound, and she lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Following a scream, Xia Yuning turned over, covering her face with her hands and tears streaming down her face.
The bright liquid dyed her white palms red and flowed out from her fingertips!
Xia Yuning's face was disfigured!
When she fell, her face was cut by the sharp blade!
The noise here alarmed the people outside, and Princess Rong rushed over here in panic.
But before they entered the house, they saw someone in the crowd jump up and break into the house through the window!
This person was hiding in the crowd without being discovered!
When he came out again, he had already held the limp Xia Yuning in his arms.
"Miss Xia owes Duobaolou two lives and over ten thousand taels of silver. I believe the Rong Palace is wealthy and powerful enough to come up with this amount. I'll give you three days. When the time comes, hand over the money and the people!"
The man was wearing a mask, so his real face couldn't be seen at all, and his words were very arrogant.
He, Duobaolou, actually dared to go against the royal family!
Princess Rong was so shocked and angry that she stumbled and fell to the ground.
Chen Zhao's face looked very bad at first, but after seeing that the person being kidnapped was Xia Yuning, he felt inexplicably relieved.
I just hope it's not Bai Zhirou. Is she still safe?
As if to verify his idea, Bai Zhirou stumbled out.
"Mother! Yu Ning wants to kill me!" Bai Zhirou was like a frightened rabbit, panicking and at a loss.
With a "pa" sound, Princess Rong raised her hand and slapped Bai Zhirou, leaving a palm mark on her face.
