The mistress just wanted to be bad, but she took off after being replaced

After saying this, he lowered his head, a look of grievance emerging on his handsome face. His weak appearance made even the bystanders feel a little sympathy for him.

Princess Changle sighed softly, "You fool, don't be so reckless in the future. After all, she is a fifth-rank doctor appointed by my father. If you offend her, you will be disrespecting my father. If my father gets angry, I will not be able to protect you."

In the deep inner court of the palace, Princess Changle entered into marriage early. Although her husband was still around, she secretly kept several lovers. Among them, Bai Liuqing seemed to be the most favored.

As a man, he is more thoughtful than many women and can always capture her deepest needs and desires.

On the other hand, the prince consort often complained that he was extravagant and his behavior was not elegant enough.

In particular, the prince consort always asked her to learn from Princess Deyi's ways.

But Bai Liuqing was different. He never asked her to do so. In his eyes, she was countless times better than Princess Deyi.

It was this kind of consideration and understanding that made Princess Changle deeply remember every good thing about him.

Therefore, Bai Liuqing's status in the princess's mansion even surpassed that of the legitimate son-in-law.

If the son-in-law's family was not of prominent origin, far beyond the reach of a minor official of the sixth rank, he might have become arrogant and lost his mind because of the favor.

Pulling the gentle hand of Bai Liuqing, the concubine, Princess Changle said to Sheng Junwei with a wave of her eyes, "In that accidental collision outside the city gate, he just stood up for me out of a desire to protect her. In that case, why don't we write off the little unpleasantness between us and let the past go with the wind?"

Sheng Junwei's eyes lingered on Bai Liuqing meaningfully: "Princess, are you really willing to sacrifice the rare affection and understanding between us for someone who may not be wholehearted in the eyes of the outside world?"

Hearing this, Princess Changle and Bai Liuqing's faces darkened at the same time. Bai Liuqing was even more emotional, and his voice trembled slightly: "How can you make such a presumptuous assumption? Although I am of humble origin, I feel that I should not offend the honorable imperial doctor. But even if you have a grudge against me, my loyalty and love for the princess are witnessed by the heaven and earth, and the sun and the moon can testify to it. There is absolutely no falsehood!"

Facing Bai Liuqing's passionate defense, Sheng Junwei did not respond directly, but locked her eyes firmly on Princess Changle's face and said slowly: "If the princess insists on her own opinion, I will follow the princess's wishes and will not pursue today's matter. Just treat it as a misunderstanding."

There was a barely perceptible gleam in Princess Changle's eyes. As a member of the royal family, she had been pampered since childhood, but she was also extremely intelligent.

She had long realized that Sheng Junwei was not a simple character.

She remembered the little incident at King Jingxuan's banquet. Although outsiders did not understand why, it caused a lot of ups and downs in her heart.

She secretly sent someone to investigate Sheng Junwei's background and discovered that there were many secrets hidden behind her.

Although she was extremely low-key before her marriage, she left many clues in the details.

For example, everyone in Wu'an Marquis's Mansion respected her very much because she had helped them in times of crisis many times.

This was the real reason why she had disregarded her etiquette and left the city without permission today.

She longed to see with her own eyes whether this woman really had extraordinary talent and charm as the intelligence she had collected described.

Princess Changle gently let go of Bai Liuqing's hand and said calmly, "Tell me, how do you want to explain all this?"

Bai Liuqing's eyes widened when he heard this, full of disbelief: "Princess, what are you doing..."

Princess Changle gently touched his head, her tone was filled with a bit of doting and majesty: "Be quiet and listen to her. I also want to know what her opinion is."

Just as Bai Liuqing was about to say something, Sheng Junwei interrupted him at the right time: "Bai Liuqing is the son of a sixth-rank Guanglu Temple official. Whether in temperament or demeanor, he is somewhat similar to the prince consort. The princess and the prince consort have been married for only three months, but they had a dispute due to some misunderstandings. One time, the princess went out in anger and saw Mr. Bai admiring the moon by the window in another boat on the lake. His behavior and demeanor reminded the princess of the prince consort, and she couldn't help but feel a little curious."

"The princess began to contact Mr. Bai anonymously, and gradually discovered that, apart from their similarities in appearance and temperament, his personality was very different from that of the princess's husband. He was thoughtful and could always perceive the princess's most subtle needs."

"More importantly, he never said anything that would displease the princess, such as comparing her to other noble ladies, especially Princess Deyi."

"As their relationship deepened, the princess felt more and more that Mr. Bai was attentive and considerate, so she began to think about taking him into the harem as her concubine. However, Mr. Bai was a proud scholar, and the princess was worried that once the truth was revealed, he would not want to be her concubine because of his self-esteem. Moreover, the princess had deep feelings for her husband, and it was impossible to abolish his position."

"When the truth came out, Mr. Bai naturally reacted violently, questioning why the princess concealed her identity and why she still interfered in his life when she already had a consort, making him wonder if he was just a substitute. He firmly refused to be a concubine, and refused to be a substitute."

"Although the princess feels sorry for it, she doesn't want to force others. From now on, try to avoid contact with Mr. Bai."

"However, about a month later, the princess learned that Mr. Bai had become ill due to missing her. His condition worsened day by day and he even refused to eat. It was as if he had lost the meaning of living."

"The princess was eventually moved by his tender heart and went to visit him, and the following story..."

"Under the princess's visit, Mr. Bai finally opened up and confessed that he had thought he was extraordinary, but after leaving the princess, he found that no matter where he went, the princess' figure lingered in his mind."

The princess accidentally heard that even though the outside world was in turmoil, he was still thinking about her. What surged in her heart was not only touching, but also an indescribable warmth.

So the princess once again extended an olive branch to him, inviting him to enter her mansion and share peace with her.

This time, Mr. Bai did not make any excuses. With a firm look in his eyes, he said bluntly: "Without the princess, my world will lose its color and life will be nothing but an empty shell."

The princess was deeply moved.

From then on, Master Bai became the most favored person in the princess's mansion, and his figure was almost on par with that of the noble prince consort.

If it weren't for the fact that the son-in-law came from a prominent family in Qianxi, Mr. Bai's status would probably have surpassed him long ago.

Facing Princess Changle's surprise, Bai Liuqing looked innocent and defended, "Princess, you misunderstood. My loyalty to you is evident to all. Doctor Sheng's words are probably fabricated out of resentment due to a small misunderstanding in the past."
