I don't want to be the favorite concubine of this palace anymore

Bai Jingchen said unhappily: "Li'er, can you think before you speak? Look at you, you don't have the bearing of a lady from a noble family!"

Bai Yueli had always believed that her future sister-in-law would be Li Jiawan. She never expected that her brother would be hugging another woman, which really excited her.

Thinking of Li Jiawan's devotion to her brother over the years, I felt even more indignant for Li Jiawan.

"Brother, who is this woman? Aren't you going to get engaged to Sister Wan'er? Are you bewitched by her?"

Bai Jingchen's face was completely gloomy: "Shut up, Bai Yueli, where is your upbringing? When did I say I was going to get engaged to Princess Ronghua? Don't talk nonsense and ruin the reputation of the princess.

And this is Gu Anyan, the daughter of Lord Gu, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. She is also the girl I like. I have already planned to tell my parents about what is going on between us.

You'd better be polite to her, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

Bai Yueli looked at her brother in disbelief. How could this happen? Her brother actually liked another woman. What about Sister Wan'er?

When Li Jiawan heard Bai Jingchen admit that this woman was the one he liked, she finally couldn't pretend anymore and looked up at Bai Jingchen with red eyes.

She said sadly: "Brother Chen, you know I have admired you since I was a child, why? What's wrong with me?"

Bai Jingchen felt a little ashamed in front of Princess Ronghua, knowing that Princess Ronghua had spent a lot of time and effort on him, but he had never said that he liked her or wanted to marry her. He always kept his distance from her and observed etiquette.

It was all Princess Ronghua's wishful thinking. The two of them had never discussed this matter, so it was not easy for him to say anything cruel, and she was also his sister's close friend.

I could only try my best to avoid them meeting each other and slowly distance myself from her.

He thought that once his relationship with Gu Anyan was confirmed, Ronghua would give up.

I didn't expect to meet my parents here today before I even confronted them. But it's better this way, the sooner I announce it, the sooner I can resolve this matter.

Several people were standing here talking, and Bai Yueli's loud voice attracted all the women who were admiring the flowers around.

Just now, An Muxi and Lu Qingxue finished watching the drama between the Crown Prince and King Cheng, and then went to appreciate the flowers separately. An Muxi saw that Lu Qingxue seemed to have something to do, so she didn't ask any more questions.

It was quite pleasant to take Xiaoqin Qiushuang Qiuyue with me for a walk and enjoy the plum blossoms.

Suddenly someone said, "It seems that the Ningguo prince's secret meeting with someone was exposed by his sister. Let's go and see what's going on."

"Really? Doesn't Prince Ningguo like Princess Ronghua? Who is she meeting with in private?"

"Who knows? Anyway, it's definitely not Princess Ronghua. We'll know when we go over and take a look."

An Muxi's eyes lit up. Oh, there was another melon to eat. She walked towards the crowd at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

Xiaoqin was speechless. She thought that her love for melons must have been infected by her master.

Xiaoqin, Qiushuang, Qiuyue were not willing to be left behind and quickly caught up.

Bai Jingchen looked at Princess Ronghua and said calmly: "Princess, you should know that I have always treated you as a sister like Li'er."

Princess Ronghua's eyes turned red with anger, and she no longer cared about her dignified manners. She shouted angrily, "But you dare to say that you don't know what I'm thinking? Why are you so cruel to me?"

When An Muxi came over, she heard this and couldn't help but roll her eyes. What kind of overbearing statement is this? You know I like you, so you can't like others?

Bai Jingchen said helplessly: "Am I not acting distant enough? Well, it's also my fault for not rejecting you directly.

At that time, I thought that you were a girl and you were not very worthy. If I had known this would happen, I should have rejected you sternly. "

Bai Yueli, the troublemaker, spoke up again: "Brother, Sister Wan'er has been devoted to you for so many years, don't you think it's too much for you to treat her like this?

Anyway, I recognize Sister Wan'er as my sister-in-law, and no one else can enter the gate of our Ningguo Mansion."

Bai Jingchen was so angry that he really wanted to slap his sister twice. It would have been fine if she didn't speak up for him, but she was also trying to sabotage him.

"You should mind your own business. You don't need to mind my business."

At this moment, Bai Jingchen felt someone gently pulling his sleeve.

He looked down and saw Gu Anyan’s face with a forced smile.

"Jingchen, don't be angry with your sister because of me."

Gu Anyan felt very uncomfortable. She didn't expect Bai Jingchen's sister to say such harsh words to her.

She also wanted to bring Bai Jingchen and Princess Ronghua together, but she didn't want Bai Jingchen to have a bad relationship with her sister because of her.

Bai Jingchen smiled and said to her: "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. Don't worry."

At this time, a woman was heard saying to others: "How could Prince Bai give up such a good woman like Princess Ronghua and choose such an ordinary Miss Gu."

The people around didn't dare to comment and didn't say anything, but they all thought so in their hearts.

The woman was not satisfied: "Don't mistake fish eyes for pearls."

An Muxi couldn't help but stare at the viewer in amazement. These sour words smacked of her. Could it be that this woman had a crush on Master Bai?

An Muxi guessed it right. The woman's name was Huang Xinyue. She was the daughter of a third-rank minister of the Ministry of War. She accidentally saw Bai Jingchen at home when he was visiting his father.

From then on, she had a crush on Bai Jingchen. Unfortunately, she knew that Bai Jingchen and Rong Huajun were a couple, and she could not win against them no matter what, so she had to give up the idea in her heart.

Who would have thought that today she would see Bai Jingchen publicly admitting that the person he liked was Gu Anyan. She felt unbalanced. In terms of family background and appearance, how was she inferior to Gu Anyan?

She didn't mean to speak up for Princess Ronghua, she just couldn't help but say something sarcastic. She also felt that Prince Bai had a problem with his vision.

Bai Jingchen looked at Huang Xinyue coldly. "Today I got to see the Huang family's tutor. It seems that who I like has nothing to do with Miss Huang."

He didn't mind being criticized, but he didn't want to hear people say bad things about Gu Anyan. As a man, how could he bear to see the woman he loved being slandered like this?

Bai Jingchen looked at the crowd of spectators around him and said loudly:

"Today's events were all caused by me. They have nothing to do with Miss Gu. I like her and came to see her privately. I hope you can be lenient with me. You can say that I am okay, but please don't criticize Miss Gu. She was just implicated innocently."

After saying that, he pulled Gu Anyan and left quickly.

An Muxi felt that the Bai family brother and sister were two extremes. Bai Jingchen was handsome, had a positive outlook, and was quite responsible. But how come his sister looked like an average person, had a poor brain, and was arrogant and unreasonable?

I really can't imagine how two people like this could have come out of the same mother's womb.

When Bai Yueli saw her brother actually taking that woman away, and saw Li Jiawan standing there in a daze beside her, she felt very distressed.

He quickly pulled Li Jiawan aside and comforted her softly.

Huang Xinyue still muttered in a low voice with an unwilling look on her face: "What kind of vision is this, Master Bai? It's better to find me than to find her."

An Muxi was speechless about this self-righteous person. When she saw that the real owner had left, she felt it was boring and left. She continued to visit the plum garden.

By the time Shenshi came, everyone had almost finished shopping, and Lu Qingxue arranged a sumptuous dinner to entertain everyone.

During the banquet, the prince was still asking why Li Rui did not show up, so Lu Qingxue pretended to send someone to invite Li Rui.

After a while, Jianying came down from upstairs and reported to the prince that Li Rui had been drunk by the owner of the winery and was now asleep and unable to come down.

When everyone saw that Li Rui's personal guard was here, they knew it was the right person, so the prince did not ask any more questions.

Some needed to go back the same day, so they said goodbye and left after dinner.

Some people who had not left had arranged rest rooms in advance. After a day of strolling in the garden, we took a hot spring bath in the evening to relieve fatigue. Everyone was very satisfied with this arrangement.

Lu Qingxue and An Muxi were both worried that some restless guests might cause trouble at night, so An Muxi arranged for Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue to keep an eye on those female guests who loved to cause trouble.

As for Dai Zhen, she was being watched by Dai Meng and had no chance to go out and attack the man.

Bai Yueli arranged guards to keep an eye on the male guests.

Sure enough, after dark, Qiu Shuang came over and replied, "Master, Princess Ronghua and Huang Xinyue have both secretly inquired about the lounge of Prince Bai."

An Muxi was shocked. It seemed that these two women had the same goal. A plan came to her mind.
