Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

"Your Highness the Crown Princess?"

As soon as Xiaoyi and Sixuan saw Baiyue, they ran towards the familiar figure happily like two deer running away from their reins.

"Xiaoyi, Xiaoxuan, let's cut to the chase. Something happened recently. Qingchen has completely forgotten about me and has reconciled with my second sister. I've also become Princess Cheng. I'm afraid we can only say goodbye now!"

Bai Yue explained the current situation to them in a soft voice that only the three of them could hear.

"Why is this happening?"

Xiaoyi exclaimed in disbelief, while Baiyue turned to her gently and asked in a low voice.

"Xiaoyi, where are the things I entrusted to you?"

"Well, they're in the package I have on me!"

Xiaoyi untied the bundle as he spoke and handed it to Baiyue.

After Bai Yue took the package, he bowed deeply to the two of them and said solemnly as if saying goodbye.

"Xiaoxuan, Xiaoyi, may your future lives be as poetic and picturesque as a poem. Please also take good care of Qingchen and make him happy and healthy in the future."

As soon as Bai Yue finished speaking, a crisp laugh broke the sadness of parting, and Bai Ling complained to Bai Yue with a bit of coquettishness.

"Hey, Third Sister, what are you and those two little followers whispering about? My Qingchen is kindhearted. If it were any other noble, how could a servant let his master wait for them?"

Then, she changed the subject and spoke in a way that seemed caring but actually contained a hidden sharpness.

"Oh, Third Sister, I have to go back to Prince Cheng's Mansion with Qing Jie to pack my things. But this carriage is too small to carry you. I'll have to trouble you to find a way back!"

Bai Ling said this with an apologetic look on her face, but the playful glint in her eyes made people wonder if she actually felt the slightest bit sorry.

Seeing this, Yun Qingchen opened her red lips slightly and spoke with a touch of gentleness and concern.

"Ling'er, this might not be appropriate. Prince Cheng's residence is a long way away. Why not let Princess Baiyue take my carriage and I'll personally escort her back..."

Before he could finish his words, Bai Ling interrupted him impatiently, her brows full of unquestionable determination.

"Qingchen, absolutely not! You've just returned exhausted from the Wulie Kingdom. What you need most right now is to return to the Crown Prince's Mansion and rest in peace. As for my third sister, she's been a tough little girl since she was young. For her, a distance of more than ten miles is just a leisurely stroll in the garden, easy!"

After saying that, Bai Ling smiled like a flower, with a bit of coquettishness, and half-heartedly "coaxed" Yun Qingchen into the carriage.

Then she turned to Xiaoyi and Sixuan and said with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Hey, what are you two doing standing there? Why don't you hurry back to the palace with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Xiaoyi and Sixuan looked at each other, their eyes full of reluctance and attachment to Baiyue, and Baiyue responded with a warm smile and waved gently, indicating that they don't have to worry and get in the car quickly.

As Yun Qingchen's carriage slowly drove away, Bai Yue stood in place, her smile as warm as the spring sun, waving goodbye to Xiaoyi and Sixuan who were gradually moving away. The scene was warm yet a little sad.

Until the carriage completely disappeared from sight, Xiaoyi could no longer hold back her tears. She cried like a child, so much so that she did not notice that on the seat beside her, drop after drop of crystal tears were quietly blending into the dust, as if sharing her concern and reluctance to leave the earth.

"Qingjie, let's go too!"

Bai Ling smiled and gently put her arm around Yun Qingjie, with a cunning glint in her eyes.

However, Yun Qingjie's eyes were fixed on Bai Yue who was not far away, as if he was waiting for her to beg for mercy, but the other party looked nonchalant, and it seemed that she didn't care about the current situation at all.

"let's go!"

A trace of anger flashed in Yun Qingjie's eyes, and then he turned around resolutely and entered the carriage with Bai Yue, leaving only dust raised along the way.

"Oh, my little sister-in-law, in such a vast landscape, why are you standing here alone, becoming the most eye-catching scenery in the painting?"

Yun Qingchi's voice suddenly sounded behind Bai Yue, just like a spring breeze blowing across the quiet lake, causing ripples, while Yun Qingjie's carriage had turned into a faint shadow in the distance and disappeared without a trace.

"Oh, our Prince Hui has been hiding in the background, watching the show for quite some time. Now he can no longer hold back and is ready to show up?"

Hearing this, Bai Yue curled up a playful smile, turned around to look at the uninvited guest, and said jokingly.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Yun Qingchi's face, and then he put on his signature mischievous smile, scratched his head and explained.

"Oh, isn't it that Second Brother is furious? As his younger brother, how dare I easily offend him? I'm afraid I'll become his punching bag!"

After that, he rolled his eyes and asked curiously.

"Speaking of which, Little Sister-in-law, do you really not have any feelings for my eldest brother? Or are you saying this on purpose because you're afraid he'll be torn between you and Princess Bai Ling? After all, during those days on the boat, you two were so affectionate every night. Anyone who saw you would feel that your love is as deep as the sea and as strong as gold!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yue's expression became more serious. He looked at Yun Qingchi with gentle yet firm eyes and spoke slowly.

"My feelings towards Qingchen are indeed sincere and close friends, but as his wife, I also have to fulfill my responsibilities. Since he has expectations of me, I should naturally give my all. This is the responsibility a partner should have."

"I understand. What the little sister-in-law means is that once we enter into a marriage contract, you will be willing to fulfill all the duties of a wife..."

Yun Qingchi's eyes gradually became gentle and deep. He stared at Bai Yue and suddenly lowered his voice, adding a bit of hoarseness and a hint of imperceptible expectation to his tone.

"Then, if the Empress is willing to commit herself to me and become the mistress of Prince Hui's mansion, can we spend every day together, enjoying the dawn and dusk... Ouch! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Empress, please have mercy. I know I was wrong. Please spare me and stop pinching my pretty face!"

Although Yun Qingchi said this, there was a mischievous smile on his face, as if he was enjoying this sudden "punishment".

When Bai Yue finally let go of his cheek, he rubbed his face and muttered softly.

"Really? You're always so fierce, but I just... take it easy..."

"Hmm? What are you mumbling about?"

Bai Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, and a hint of curiosity and confusion flashed in her eyes.

"Nothing, nothing. I just thought that if the Empress-sister-in-law doesn't mind, I would be willing to do my best to escort her back to Prince Cheng's Palace. After all, I'm alone, and the carriage is spacious, so I need a beautiful woman to accompany me."

Yun Qingchi quickly adjusted his mood, and his enchanting peach blossom eyes deliberately blinked at Bai Yue, as if trying to convince the other party with his charm.
