Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists
Chapter 26 They May Have Come to the Wrong Camp
"Wow, the young marquis today, the tight embroidered robe he's wearing looks like it was tailor-made for him. The garment outlines his muscles like a poem, and every contour appears so clear. I really can't help but take a few more glances at him."
"Not only that, the young marquis has tied up his black hair today, a rare sight. In the past, we always saw him dressed as a scholar, but we never imagined that his warrior attire would have such a unique charm. That wild beauty is simply irresistible!"
"What moved me most were his deep eyes. You don't know how his focused gaze met mine like a beam of blazing sunlight when I got off the bus. Although he quickly looked away, at that moment, I felt as if I were deeply drawn in by a mysterious force, completely immersed in his focused and profound gaze!"
In the camp of princes and nobles, a group of noble ladies were whispering and secretly glancing at Chu Xingyu who was sitting at the registration office.
He didn't seem to care about the fiery gazes around him. He just stared intently at every carriage approaching the camp.
However, whenever he saw clearly who got off the car, a look of disappointment would always pass across his face, as if he was looking for something but never found it.
"Hey, Chu Lingyun, could your precious son Xingyu please stop being a doorman at the registration office? He's so frightening to the eunuchs that they don't even dare to write properly. If he delays the mission assigned by His Majesty, can you bear the consequences?"
Inside the towering tent, a handsome middle-aged man in military uniform was complaining seriously to another man with a stern face and a firm expression between his brows.
"My Xingyu can sit wherever he wants. If those eunuchs can't even handle such a small matter, it only shows that they are incompetent."
After hearing this, Chu Lingyun waved his hand nonchalantly, with an expression on his face that said, "My son is fine with anything."
Qi Mufeng frowned and sighed.
"Well, since he insists on sitting there, can you let him change his clothes? Preferably something that covers him tightly, so that the daughters of the sect won't recognize him at a glance."
When Chu Lingyun heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
"Hey, Qi Mufeng, you are jealous of my son's handsome appearance and suave manner, right? Haha, there is nothing I can do, this is all inherited from my son Qianyu's beauty."
"But don't worry, even though your Lingbao is young now, judging by his appearance, he will be a handsome young man in the future. Although he may not be able to compare with my Xingyu, he will still have no problem charming a few girls."
Qi Mufeng felt that he couldn't communicate well with this "son slave" and said with a wry smile.
"Let me tell you, those noble ladies from the sect are almost blocking the camp gate just to see your young marquis. If His Majesty comes and sees this scene, I won't help you explain it!"
After saying that, he prepared to get up and say goodbye, not wanting to waste any more words with the other party.
"What? The camp gate is completely blocked?"
When Chu Lingyun heard Qi Mufeng's words, his expression was stunned. Then he hurriedly stood up and walked out of the tent in a hurry.
"Lingyun, don't be impatient. I might have exaggerated a bit..."
Seeing Chu Lingyun like this, Qi Mufeng quickly caught up to persuade him, but before he could finish his words, Chu Lingyun spoke with excitement and pride.
"My son's charm is so great that it can shake the world! I have to go and see him quickly so that I can show him off to Qianyu later!"
"Oh? So, you don't care whether His Majesty blames you or not?"
When Qi Mufeng heard what Chu Lingyun said, he was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out and his voice rose eight octaves.
"Haha, there's also the matter of His Majesty blaming me. Come on, I'll go help you deal with it now!"
Chu Lingyun laughed a few times and then walked towards the registration office at the camp gate with Qi Mufeng.
When the two arrived there, Chu Xingyu was still sitting in his original position without moving. And just as Qi Mufeng said, more and more noble ladies were gathering at the camp gate to peek at Chu Xingyu.
"Speaking of which, your Xingyu looks like she's waiting for Prime Minister Su's carriage. I heard from my wife that Miss Su openly disobeyed the emperor's order this time, and Prime Minister Su was furious, even using the family law. So I guess Prime Minister Su won't..."
Before Qi Mufeng finished speaking, a gorgeously decorated carriage slowly drove towards the camp gate.
When the car door opened, everyone's eyes widened, because the person who got out of the car was Prime Minister Su and his daughter Su Mengqi!
"Oh, isn't this Su Mengqi? Didn't they say she was under house arrest at the Su family? How could she still show up here?"
"Yes, didn't she refuse the emperor's order and refuse to enter the palace? What's going on now? Could it be that the emperor has changed his mind and plans to accept her?"
"Maybe the young marquis went to plead for her, and the emperor pardoned her. Look at the young marquis, he's been sitting here all morning, maybe he's waiting for Su Mengqi!"
The crowd outside the camp gate was talking about Su Mengqi's unexpected appearance.
Qi Mufeng patted Chu Lingyun's shoulder with a happy look on his face.
"Lingyun, your door god is finally leaving. Thank God!"
As Su Mengqi got out of the car, her eyes were fixed on Chu Xingyu at the registration office.
She walked quickly to the other person and spoke in a voice as sweet as honey.
"Xingyu, are you waiting for me? I'm so happy. What you said that day was really just angry words!"
"Meng Qi?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Chu Xingyu's eyes. He never expected to meet the other party here today. His face was full of astonishment.
"Hahaha, it seems that my guess was right. Your Xingyu's heart is filled with that Su Mengqi!"
Qi Mufeng looked at the scene in front of him and said jokingly to Chu Lingyun.
"Is this guy a blockhead? How could he still harbor fantasies about this woman? That girl is just like her father, a sinister villain! No, I have to beat this guy up and open his mind!"
Chu Lingyun was like a lit firecracker, filling the air around him with the smell of gunpowder. At this moment, he clenched his fists and rolled up his sleeves, and it was obvious that he was ready to take action.
"No, Lingyun, calm down! This isn't the right occasion!"
Just as Qi Mufeng tried to stop Chu Lingyun from beating his son in public, a majestic shout exploded in the air like thunder.
"Your Majesty is here!"
Following this shout, everyone present knelt on the ground like fallen leaves swept by a strong wind. Their eyes were filled with awe and anticipation as they waited for the arrival of their Emperor Mo Xuanche.
Surrounded by solemn black-clad soldiers, Mo Xuanche descended from a magnificent golden carriage like a shooting star in the dark night.
His steps were light and powerful, as if every step was stepping on people's heartstrings.
When he approached the camp gate, his eyes as deep as stars suddenly flashed with a smile. He looked at Chu Xingyu who was kneeling on the ground and teased softly.
"Hey, Xiao Xingyu, why are you doing the registration work here? I don't remember giving you such an important task!"
Chu Xingyu knelt on the ground, his expression unchanged, and replied.
"Your Majesty, I am just bored and want to join in the fun and experience something new."
After hearing this, Mo Xuanche raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes.
"Since you feel free, I will give you a job so that you don't have to wander around and make your aunt and uncle worry about you."
Before Mo Xuanche finished speaking, a voice as gentle as a clear spring came from behind him.
"Your humble servant, Su Mengqi, has come to Your Majesty to apologize. I thank Your Majesty for your kindness and for accepting me into the palace. However, I already have someone in my heart, so I can only let Your Majesty down."
Su Mengqi's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
Everyone's eyes were focused on her, and she raised her head, her eyes flashing with anticipation, as if waiting for Mo Xuanche to turn around.
"Prime Minister Su, do you admit your guilt?"
Mo Xuanche's voice was like the cold wind in winter, biting and chilling. He didn't turn around, but just threw out this sentence coldly.
"Your daughter has not only defied the Holy Order, but has now openly admitted to having an affair. Did you bring her here today to humiliate me?"
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Su's face turned pale, as if he had been struck by lightning. He quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly begging for mercy.
"Your Majesty, I... I would never dare to have such disrespectful thoughts!"
He felt extremely regretful. Why did he believe Su Mengqi's words so easily and thought that the person who was in love with her was Mo Xuanche in front of him.
"Your Majesty, please... please turn around and look at me."
Su Mengqi's voice trembled with a hint of pleading.
She had never thought that things would develop to this point. After all, the chance encounter at the Duke of Qi's mansion was carefully planned by her, just to attract Mo Xuanche's attention and fulfill her long-cherished wish of entering the palace as a concubine.
However, when the imperial decree came down, requiring her to enter the palace as a humble imperial concubine, the anger and resentment in her heart instantly erupted.
But after she calmed down, she felt that this was a test from Mo Xuanche, so she did not hesitate to publicize the deep affection between herself and the person she had secretly engaged to spend her life with, trying to prove that what she loved was not wealth and glory, but Mo Xuanche himself.
But Mo Xuanche did not turn around at this time. Su Mengqi's crying did not seem to cause even a ripple in him. He just asked the eunuch kneeling on the ground calmly as usual.
"Have the people from the Hostage House arrived? Did Crown Princess Chenyun come with the Crown Prince?"
"Your Majesty, I... I have never met the two nobles from the Hostage House, so..."
The eunuch stammered in his reply, his voice filled with fear.
"What? How dare they be so negligent and even ignore my orders?"
A flash of anger flashed in Mo Xuanche's eyes, and he sneered in his heart. Bai Yue actually hated him so much that she even dared to disobey the imperial edict.
"Your Majesty, I have the audacity to report that perhaps the people from the Hostage House have already arrived, but they may have gone to the wrong camp..."
At this moment, a eunuch lying on the ground suddenly spoke.
"Oh? Wrong campsite?"
Mo Xuanche was slightly startled, then a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He turned to face the group, his voice full of authority.
"You all get up."
Then his eyes fell on the eunuch and he was about to ask about the details.
"you……"
Before Mo Xuanche could finish his words, Su Mengqi's voice suddenly jumped out like a clear spring, full of surprise and confusion.
"Mo Lang? Is that you? This outfit... I... I can't believe it, you are..."
Mo Xuanche's mood had originally improved, but when he heard Su Mengqi's sudden words, his brows furrowed involuntarily, but he did not refute out loud.
"Mo Lang, I'm Meng Qi. I really didn't expect you to call me into the palace to give me such a big surprise. I was wrong. Please, can you not be angry with me?"
Su Mengqi saw that Mo Xuanche was still silent, just standing there quietly, staring at her like a statue.
She became more determined in her heart, believing that all this was a test from the other party, so she took a deep breath and prepared to cooperate with this carefully designed drama.
"As long as I fall into his arms, it will prove that he is the lover I have secretly chosen for life."
Su Mengqi thought secretly in her heart.
"As expected, men all like this innocent drama. They hope that women will love them for who they are, rather than for their power and status."
Su Mengqi walked towards Mo Xuanche with light steps, her eyes full of affection and expectation, as if she was about to become the queen of Wulie Kingdom.
However, just as she was about to approach Mo Xuanche, he suddenly spoke in a deep voice.
"Are all of you just decorations? How dare you let a sinner get close to me?"
His voice was cold and majestic, making the air around them seem to freeze.
The guards around Mo Xuanche woke up as if from a dream, acted quickly, and pinned Su Mengqi firmly to the ground.
"Mo Lang, I'm Meng Qi. How could you treat me like this? That romantic moment under the moonlight, that vow of love, have all become smoke in your heart?"
Su Mengqi's voice was filled with fear and confusion. She widened her eyes and cried loudly to the indifferent Mo Xuanche.
"Isn't it because of those sweet memories and the bondage of those vows that I took you into the palace?"
Mo Xuanche's voice was cold as ice, but with a hint of teasing.
"No, at that time I didn't know your true identity, Your Majesty, so I... refused!"
Su Mengqi's heart sank suddenly, and she hurriedly explained herself, trying to salvage something.
"Oh? You don't know me?"
A hint of amusement flashed in Mo Xuanche's eyes, and he suddenly burst into laughter. The laughter echoed throughout the camp, making people tremble.
Then he ignored Su Mengqi and just asked the eunuch who had just reported.
"What do you mean when you say the people from the Proton House went to the wrong camp?"
"Yes, my name is Xingye, and I'm in charge of the camps for fourth and fifth rank officials! Today, a distinguished guest with mobility issues came to us for registration, wheeled by a young man!"
"I noticed their names at the time. The registration book showed them as Yun Qingchen, a fifth-rank official, and his wife, Bai!"
Xingye hurriedly knelt on the ground and reported to Mo Xuanche what he had just observed truthfully.
