Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

"Congratulations to the player for successfully completing the side quest, Crowning the Six Palaces. The system reward, the 'Peerless Beauty' suit, will be issued to you soon!"

Just as Bai Yue was sitting in the carriage with her mind full of thoughts, Xiao 1's lively and cheerful voice suddenly rang in her mind.

"Hey, Xiao1, did you encounter a bug? I didn't do anything, how come I completed this task?"

"Hey, player, could you please stop questioning the professionalism of this system? My incredibly sophisticated algorithm has verified that you have absolutely and perfectly fulfilled all the requirements of this mission!"

Xiao 1's electronically synthesized voice actually carried a hint of grievance and arrogance.

"Oh, if that's the case, then your reward distribution is a bit too direct. Why don't you hold a lottery and let me try my luck again?"

Bai Yue's eyes moved as she teased Xiao 1 in her mind.

"Hey, didn't you say you didn't do anything? So, you don't have to bother choosing the reward yourself! I'm telling you, this 'Unparalleled Beauty' set is definitely more eye-catching than that 'Bu Bu Wei Ying' set. As long as you put it on..."

Just as Xiao 1 was chattering away in Bai Yue's mind, the carriage that had been moving finally stopped.

When she got off the carriage, she saw a huge crowd outside the hostage house. Rows of warriors in golden armor surrounded the entire hostage house like door gods.

"What's going on? Could it be that Grandpa Mo's 'beauty trap' has failed, and Queen Mother Lin is planning to attack me?"

Just when Bai Yue was full of surprise, Sixuan rushed to her like a gust of wind, and spoke with reassurance while panting.

"Your Highness, you are finally back. If you were even a moment later, the old prince would have personally led his troops to storm Censor Liu's mansion!"

Bai Yue was slightly stunned when she heard this, then her eyes swept over the majestic guards, and she felt inexplicably moved.

At this moment, Qi Mufeng walked up to Bai Yue with steady steps, bowed slightly and said.

"Your Highness, please rest assured. For the next two days, the area within a mile of the hostage house will be under my protection. No treacherous villains will dare to approach the hostage house, lest they disturb your peace and tranquility."

After saying this, his eyes inadvertently swept over Butler Liu, and a barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Well, if you knew that this so-called 'treacherous villain' was your Majesty, how would you feel?"

Bai Yue teased silently in her heart, then turned and spoke softly to Butler Liu.

"Butler Liu, thank you for sending me back. I believe that your wish will come true in the near future!"

Steward Liu's expression froze for a moment at first, then he suddenly bowed deeply to Bai Yue, his voice filled with uncontrollable excitement and trembling.

"Your Highness, Crown Princess, thank you for your kind words. When my wish is fulfilled, I will never forget your kindness!"

After saying that, Butler Liu bowed to Bai Yue again before leaving with his servants. Bai Yue walked up to Qi Mufeng and said embarrassedly.

"My Lord, Duke of Qi, I am truly sorry for mobilizing such a large force so late at night. How about you please step into the hall and let me prepare some tea as a token of my gratitude?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Mufeng quickly waved his hands with a humble smile on his face.

"Your Highness, your words are too polite. It was the old prince's order to protect Your Highness. We are all following orders. How dare we take credit for it? However, if you must express your gratitude, I do have a humble request."

Having said that, he smiled mysteriously, took out a stack of heavy papers from his sleeve, and gently placed it in Bai Yue's hand.

"Your Highness possesses exceptional talent, and your poetry is truly magnificent. I implore Your Highness to bestow upon us your masterpieces, so that even a humble soul like us can study them day and night, and appreciate the unparalleled elegance and grace within the lines."

Qi Mufeng pointed at the papers and gave instructions as he spoke.

"That's right, just write a poem on each page, and then finish writing on all these pages!"

Bai Yue looked at the thick stack of papers and said with a twitching mouth.

"Lord Duke of Qi, are you trying to squeeze all the ink out of my brain? I remember all the poems I've read before, and they weren't this long!"

Qi Mufeng laughed when he heard this, as if he had expected it. He pushed Bai Yue into the mansion and spoke loudly.

"Ah, Your Highness, there's an old saying that goes, 'Those who are capable must work harder.' Don't worry, once you finish writing these poems, I'll immediately arrange for a collection of them to be published. By then, I guarantee that you'll be famous and renowned, and your talent will spread far and wide. The whole world will know of your extraordinary talent!"

"Duke Qi, why don't we discuss this further? You have so many poems to write, how about..."

Before Bai Yue finished speaking, Qi Mufeng looked hesitant and spoke with a hint of melancholy.

"Alas, Your Highness, the Crown Princess, the main reason I asked you to write these poems is to leave some memories for my Ling'er. Now everyone in the mansion has concealed the news of your impending departure from him. I'm afraid that if he finds out that you're no longer in Wulie..."

"Duke Qi, please rest assured. Leave this matter to me. I will definitely fulfill this wish for you within the next few days!"

Bai Yue's expression changed, and he immediately nodded and promised.

"Oh, that's great! I'll be looking forward to your masterpiece, Princess!"

When Qi Mufeng heard this, a hint of cunning immediately flashed in his eyes. Just when Bai Yue was wondering if she had been fooled, the other party seemed to have just remembered something important and hurriedly added.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you that the old prince is waiting for your return in the mansion..."

Before the other party finished speaking, Bai Yue rushed into the mansion like an arrow, because she just remembered Sixuan said that Mo Yingyun was going to lead troops to Censor Liu's mansion to ask for someone.

"Your Highness, Prince Mo and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are waiting for you in the flower hall!"

Sixuan was panting and shouting loudly behind Bai Yue. The other party's movements were too fast after using the light skills, and Sixuan could not catch up with her even if he tried his best.

When Bai Yue hurriedly stepped into the flower hall, he saw Mo Yingyun sitting on one side with a worried look on his face, while Yun Qingchen on the other side was holding a cup of fragrant tea quietly with a cold jade face. His expression was calm, as if nothing in the world could touch his heartstrings.

"Grandpa, Qingchen, I'm back!"

Bai Yue's voice quickly broke the silence in the flower hall.

When Mo Yingyun saw her return, all the worries in his eyes disappeared instantly. He looked at her happily and said.

"Xiaoyue, you're finally back safely! Don't you know how my heart nearly jumped into my throat when that servant from your house hurried over to report? Tell me, has Liu Ruyi given you any hardship?"
