The daughter of the first wife is a little fierce: the war god prince loves her to the sky

The prince was not in a good mood these past two days. After all, the rumors about what happened in the Bai Mansion had spread out. Not only did the old man Liu Xiang not support him, he also wanted to take this opportunity to attack Bai Linan, so he actually asked Liu Shuyao to go back to her parents' home. Although Liu Shuyao and the Liu family had already separated, it was difficult to refuse openly, so she went back and stayed for a day before returning to the East Palace. However, it was not the case in the eyes of outsiders.

So, the prince and the second daughter of the Bai family had an affair at the eldest daughter of the Bai family's coming-of-age ceremony, but were caught by the crown princess on the spot. The news that the crown princess was so angry that she returned to her parents' home spread to everyone, and was exaggerated and made vivid. Then, the news that the eldest daughter of the Bai family was arrogant, disrespectful, unfilial, and extravagant also began to spread.

During the morning court session, not only was the crown prince scolded by the censor, but Bai Linan was also impeached for not teaching his daughter well. Bai Linan was so angry that he rushed into Bai Chuwan's yard and beat her up after the court session. Xie was heartbroken, and Bai Chuwan was beaten so badly that she couldn't get out of bed.

But Bai Chuxiao was not affected by these rumors. Instead, she walked out of the door leisurely under Bai Linan's gloomy gaze.

She first went to her second uncle's house and brought the news to her second brother that he could go to the military camp. She also asked her second aunt and second brother about their plans for marriage, but Murong Xuan only said lightly, "I am a commoner now, so I'd better not consider it for now, so as not to wrong other girls."

Bai Chuxiao could only sigh and did not mention Sister Xihan anymore. She should wait until her second brother figured it out before doing anything else, so as not to make Sister Xihan happy for nothing.

Walking down the street with Qingzhu, she received a lot of stares. After all, she is now considered one of the rumored heroines.

Qing Zhu said indignantly, "Miss, what are these people looking at? It is obviously the Second Miss... Why do they say such bad things about you?"

Bai Chuxiao smiled slightly and didn't care. "It doesn't matter. My stories won't last long. The prince and the second sister are the protagonists."

"Is it possible that Aunt Xie is holding a grudge and deliberately ruining the young lady's reputation? I heard that she went back to her parents' home before. Who knows if she will..."

"She must have had a hand in this, but it's not all her." It's hard for her to find out who is behind this. She knows exactly who is fanning the flames, or is she just doing these tricks?

After entering Qingyi Pavilion and going up to the second floor, the storyteller in the center of the room was speaking with great excitement. There were many scholars drinking tea and listening to stories today, but among the private rooms that were usually open, there was a door that was tightly closed. Bai Chuxiao looked around for a moment and didn't want to ask for more. After a pot of good tea and some snacks, she listened with Qingzhu with great interest. The story was probably about

In the previous dynasty, a prince was not satisfied with his wife. For the sake of power, he went to meet another official lady at night. Then he was caught by everyone at the lady's house. In the end, the official lady got pregnant before she even entered the house. In the end, she was abandoned and ended up with no child. She ended up living a secluded life... As for who this prince was? Who was the official lady? It goes without saying. Everyone knows...

Qingzhu asked in a low voice, "Miss, Second Miss... Oh no, that young lady from the official family is really pregnant and ended up becoming a nun?"

Bai Chuxiao flicked her head and said with a smile, "It's just a story. It's possible that she's pregnant, but if the prince really wants power, he will naturally find a way to welcome her into his palace. How could he let her become a nun..."

A man dressed as a scholar at a table not far away laughed loudly, "It is said that Lord Baixiang has countless disciples, but I didn't expect to teach a group of daughters like this. The second daughter has no shame, and the eldest daughter is unfilial. It's really sad."

Qingzhu was furious when she heard this and wanted to teach him a lesson, but Bai Chuxiao quickly stopped her.

Someone at another table said, "I don't think so. The second young lady's story is well-documented, but the eldest young lady's story is all groundless. Moreover, the eldest young lady is the champion of this year's Spring Banquet. I also heard that the eldest young lady defeated the princess of Southern Xinjiang with one arrow at the palace banquet to welcome the envoys from Southern Xinjiang. Could such a person be as bad as the rumors say?"

Everyone thought it was right, and then someone else came out to agree, "This young master is right. The rumors about Miss Bai came out suddenly. I'm afraid someone deliberately spread them to divert attention. But in the end, the most embarrassed person this time is Lord Bai Xiang."

Hearing this, Bai Chuxiao thought of Bai Linan's expression when he left the house, and nodded secretly. Isn't it?

Just as everyone was talking, a man with a sword hanging from his waist walked out of the closed private room, clasped his fists and said, "Miss Bai, my master invites you in for a chat."

Bai Chuxiao was a little suspicious. She was just wondering who was inside. So she nodded and followed Qingzhu in.

Seeing the man sitting inside who was nearly sixty years old but still full of energy, Bai Chuxiao was even more surprised. Isn't this... "Your Majesty..."

Seeing the gaze of the person in front of her, she quickly changed her words and said, "Hello, Master." Who else could this person be but Emperor Wenxuan?

Emperor Wenxuan said with a smile, "Sit down."

Qingzhu had never seen the man in front of her before and didn't recognize him. She just felt that the pressure from this master was very heavy, so she felt a little uncomfortable and didn't dare to speak or sit down. She just stood silently behind Bai Chuxiao.

Emperor Wenxuan listened to the conversation outside with a leisurely look on his face. He wondered if he could ask her a few questions. Looking at the woman in front of him who was neither humble nor arrogant, Emperor Wenxuan raised his eyebrows.

"You are an interesting girl. There are not many girls who can drink tea in a place like this and listen to others talking about themselves without changing their expression."

Bai Chuxiao smiled slightly, "Since you're here, you just want to have some fun. Let them say whatever they want. Besides, I'm not the real protagonist of this story, so there's no need for me to get involved."

Emperor Wenxuan nodded and smiled, "You are right. I am also getting impatient and want to come out and join in the fun."

Bai Chuxiao didn't respond, but she silently complained in her heart, "Are you someone who can just come out and join in the fun? There aren't many people who can listen to their son's gossip with interest. Compared to you, this girl is nothing."

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Emperor Wenxuan asked with a smile, "So what do you think of the stories told by people outside..."

Bai Chuxiao was silent. "Let me comment on your son's romantic affairs. What are your hobbies?" She then said indifferently, "The storybook is good. It's fun to read. People only praise the prince for his romanticism, but in the end, it's the women in the story who suffer..."

Emperor Wenxuan nodded and said, "You are a very clear-headed girl. People should be content with what they have..."

Looking at his expression, Bai Chuxiao curled her lips in her heart. If you were content, how could you sit in your current position? She smiled and said, "The master is right. Be content and you will always be happy. Cherish the people in front of you. Most people don't understand this."

Emperor Wenxuan didn't know what he was thinking of, and murmured, "Cherish the person in front of you..." There was once a very good woman, but he finally let her down... But if he had to do it all over again, he might still make the same choice, the road to becoming an emperor... a road of no return...
