Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 1054: Having an affair with the top scholar Bai Mufeng

The guards' panicked voices rang out outside the carriage: "Your Highness, Princess, are you okay?"

The streets were noisy, especially when something like this happened.

Princess Wenshu listened vaguely and it seemed that a guard was thanking someone.

She tidied her appearance and ordered the maid to lift the curtain of the carriage: "I am fine."

When Princess Wenshu looked up, the man happened to look over there as well, and she bumped into a pair of affectionate eyes.

The man was standing in the bustling street, wearing a moon-white brocade robe embroidered with light green bamboo patterns, and a tassel hanging from a jade belt around his waist.

Her black hair was loosely tied up with a warm jade hairpin, and a few strands of hair fell on the side of her neck, shining like velvet in the soft afternoon light.

The arc of the corners of the lips is like the first ripple when the ice breaks in a spring creek, spreading from the lips to the tips of the eyebrows, warming the heart before words are spoken.

Those eyes were beautifully shaped, with a slightly raised shape that seemed to be full of affection, and the pupils were a dark brown soaked in moonlight. When looking over, it seemed as if tiny stars were twinkling in the eyes.

When he smiles, the corners of his eyes naturally bend into a soft arc, his long eyelashes flutter like butterfly wings, and the shadows they cast form a gentle net under his eyelids.

That gaze was not scorchingly passionate, but like the morning mist in the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River, quietly enveloping people's hearts with just the right amount of warmth.

When the wind blew through his clothes, the jade hairpin in his hair swayed slightly, reflecting his slightly lowered eyelids, and his eyelashes cast a faint shadow under his eyes. As his eyes moved, there was three parts of tenderness, two parts of affinity, and five parts of indescribable tenderness, which made people's hearts soften.

Such a passionate and romantic person would certainly not be an unknown person in the capital.

A maid recognized the man's identity and said behind Princess Wenshu: "Your Highness, it's the third place winner!"

Princess Wenshu had seen the top scholar Bai Mufeng several times at palace banquets, so she knew that he had a good appearance, especially his eyes, which looked very affectionate when he looked at anyone.

But she had never been so close to the other person like today.

A guard came over, bowed, and reported briefly: "Your Highness, the horse got startled just now, and it was Bai Hanlin who stopped it."

The top three candidates in the imperial examination were all granted official positions in the Hanlin Academy, so people generally referred to them as "Hanlin", but added their surnames in front to distinguish them.

Princess Wenshu was slightly surprised.

The person who was chosen as the third place winner had to have outstanding appearance and talent. But she didn't expect that this third place winner had such good skills.

Princess Wenshu thought so in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She stepped forward to thank him: "If it weren't for Bai Hanlin today, who knows how many people would have been injured by this horse. I would like to thank you here!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Wenshu bowed.

Bai Mufeng naturally didn't dare to accept it, and quickly moved aside, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "It's just a small favor, Your Highness, there's no need to be polite."

"But why did the horse suddenly get startled?"

While they were talking, the guards came forward to check, but found nothing unusual, so they thought it must have been an accident.

Princess Wenshu nodded slightly, not investigating the matter in public. She then ordered the maid behind her to go and check if there were any injured people. The losses of the vendors hit by the carriage were counted and double compensation was paid.

Bai Mufeng watched this scene with a smile.

Princess Wenshu lost her mother at a young age. She is also very young. Among the three princesses in the capital, her presence is the weakest. I never thought that she would be so calm in the face of danger.

She really has the demeanor of a princess from heaven.

Although she knew that this famous scholar had a romantic and amorous appearance, Princess Wenshu's cheeks still felt hot when she met his affectionate eyes.

She thanked him again, "Today is all thanks to Bai Hanlin. When I return, I will definitely have someone prepare a generous gift to express my gratitude."

Bai Mufeng said: "I dare not."

"You're welcome, Princess."

There were many people watching around, and Bai Mufeng said considerately: "Princess Wenshu was frightened just now, go back home and rest early, so as not to hurt her body."

Princess Wenshu didn't want to be watched by the crowd, so she nodded slightly and got into the carriage with the help of her maid.

At this time, the guards had already found a new horse as quickly as possible.

The follow-up, whether it is investigation or aftermath, will be handled by the people from Princess Wenshu’s mansion, and Bai Mufeng does not need to intervene.

He shook his head and put the episode behind him.

Making trouble and scaring the horses is no small matter, not to mention that it involves the princess Wenshu, who is from a noble family, and the top scholar who has charmed a group of young girls.

The story of a hero saving a beauty has always been talked about with great relish, especially when the protagonists are these two characters.

Today's events spread across the capital as fast as the wind, and people were talking about it even after dinner.

Even the palace had heard of it.

However, Princess Wenshu was of noble status after all, so although everyone sighed, no one dared to openly plot against her and Bai Mufeng.

After hearing this, Nangong Xuanyu asked Li Changde about it.

Being able to serve the emperor for a long time, he naturally had to be smart. Li Changde had already found out everything clearly: "…Your Majesty, Princess Wenshu was not injured, she was just a little frightened. The imperial physician went to see her and it's not serious anymore."

"The horse was also frightened by accident, not by human intervention."

The emperor was busy with state affairs and did not pay any more attention to this matter. He just bestowed a lot of rewards on Princess Wenshu and Bai Mufeng.

The former is to comfort, and the latter is to reward.

Shen Zhinian of Zhongcui Palace naturally also heard about this exciting event and was a little dazed for a moment.

Because she remembered her past life...

After Princess Wenshu came of age, she was granted marriage to the prince of the Marquis of Yuanning. The two lived in harmony after their marriage, and it was considered a good story in the capital.

It’s just… just like what Shen Zhinian said, a man will only be honest when he turns into a tablet.

The prince of the Yuanning Marquis's mansion was actually a disguise of his gentle and refined appearance. He was actually a lustful and licentious person. Not only did he hang out with the maids in the mansion, he also often lingered in brothels in private.

Princess Wenshu was a noble lady, how could she tolerate sharing a husband with a prostitute? After learning about this, she could not bear the humiliation and changed her usual gentle demeanor, and had a big fight with the Prince of Yuanning.

Shen Zhinian didn't know what exactly happened, she only knew that after all the commotion, many rumors spread in the capital, saying that Princess Wenshu and the third place winner of the imperial examination, Bai Mufeng, were having an affair.

Some people even saw with their own eyes that the two of them had been seen together and behaved in an ambiguous manner.

People always have double standards.

The son of Marquis Yuanning visits prostitutes, which is a romantic behavior for men.

Princess Wenshu was nailed to the pillar of shame for being unfaithful and fickle.

The royal reputation must not be damaged.

Seeing that the rumors were getting more and more intense, the emperor had to banish Bai Mufeng to another place even though he valued his talent.
