Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

"Hmm, I don't know. Maybe it's because you two established a deep revolutionary friendship in your dream. Oh, player, you should hurry up and complete the side quest. The prizes for this random draw were carefully selected for you by me!"

After Xiao 1 finished speaking, he showed a large round plate in front of Bai Yue. Most of the grids on it were filled with a martial arts secret book.

"Hehe, this time we're using a disc lottery method. Look at the prizes here. Are you satisfied?"

"Well, don't worry, I will definitely complete this mission!"

When Bai Yue saw the Taixuan Sutra, the peerless martial arts that she had been longing for, in the circular grid, she wished she could grow wings and quickly participate in the hunting competition.

At this time, Mo Yingyun happened to say this to her and Yun Qingchen.

"Since the two Your Highnesses are ready, let's head to the Autumn Hunting Competition immediately!"

As Bai Yue and his group entered the vast open space that was closely guarded by elite soldiers, they saw three platforms about 5 meters off the ground standing in the south, north and center of the open space.

Under the high platform in the north, a group of heroic men in hunting suits were gathered together, their eyes burning with desire for victory, and the sound of horse hooves and laughter intertwined into a prelude to battle.

Under the high platform on the south side, there is a completely different beautiful scenery. The women in gorgeous clothes are smiling and looking at each other with beautiful eyes. They are whispering and laughing, or walking lightly. Each of them exudes the breath of youth and beauty.

"Crown Princess, the high platform to the north is where the young Wu Lie talents register to compete for the title of 'First Hunter.' The rule here is that whoever hunts the highest number of prey during the daytime hours will take first place. Most of the applicants are young masters from aristocratic families and young generals, and last year's first place winner was the young Marquis Chu Xingyu from the Zhenguo Marquis family!"

After Mo Yingyun introduced the north side to Bai Yue, he pointed to the platform in the south and said.

"As for the South's 'Most Beautiful Woman' contest, most of the participants are unmarried girls. The only criterion for winning is who gets the most flowers after stepping onto the stage. Because there are so many participants, the results are usually not announced until the evening!"

"By the way, last year's 'First Beauty' was named Liu Rumei, and she received 1 flowers..."

"1 flowers? There aren't that many people in this whole place, right?"

When Bai Yue heard Mo Yingyun say this, she looked around and said.

"Haha, Crown Princess, you don't know that these flowers are not for everyone to have one. You need to spend silver to buy them. One flower is one tael of silver, and Liu Rumei's 10,000 flowers naturally cost 10,000 taels of silver!"

"Okay, then isn't this just the ancient version of rewarding attractive anchors? I wonder who Liu Rumei's top anchor is?"

After Mo Yingyun finished explaining, Bai Yue couldn't help but complain silently in her heart.

"What about the one in the middle?"

Bai Yue pointed to the platform in the middle that was obviously more imposing than the other two and said.

"Oh, that is the resting place for His Majesty and the beauties in the harem. After all, the concubines have been lonely in the deep palace for a long time. When encountering this autumn hunting event, who would not be yearning and eager to take a glimpse of this lively scene!"

Mo Yingyun looked at the platform and explained to Bai Yue with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people dressed in eunuch costumes hurried over. The leading eunuch knelt on the ground as soon as he saw Mo Yingyun. His face was full of flattering smiles, and even his voice seemed to be coated with a layer of honey.

"Oh my! I was wondering this morning why the magpie outside the window was so cheerful and chirping non-stop. It must have foreseen your arrival, Your Highness. What a good omen, what a good omen!"

"When His Majesty arrives, I will report to him immediately. If His Majesty knew you were coming, he would surely be delighted."

"Your Majesty, then you don't need to report it!"

Mo Yingyun's face darkened slightly, but he waved his hand with dignity.

"I've come here only to accompany Crown Prince Chenyun and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess and enjoy the joy of the autumn hunt together. I don't like being disturbed, so please lead us to a resting place as soon as possible."

When the eunuch heard the words "Prince Chenyun and the Crown Princess", a hint of surprise flashed across his face. Then his eyes wandered between Yun Qingchen and Bai Yue, as if he couldn't understand why Mo Yingyun would participate in today's autumn hunt specifically to accompany these two people.

"Hey, what are you still standing there for? Why don't you hurry up and lead the way for the old prince?"

Seeing this, the servant beside Mo Yingyun frowned and said with a bit of displeasure in his tone.

The eunuch finally woke up from his dream. He quickly responded and bowed as he led them to the resting place where Mo Yingyun belonged.

At first, Bai Yue noticed that the officials and their families around were all in groups of three or five, huddled in the slightly crowded gauze tent.

But the closer they got to the core area, the more spacious and luxurious the gauze tent became. When they reached where Mo Yingyun was, the size of the gauze tent and the gorgeous decorations were simply jaw-dropping.

"Well, this old prince's rest camp is indeed extraordinary. With him as a great Buddha, I believe no one would dare to disturb your peace!"

After Bai Yue pushed Yun Qingchen to a shady place, she whispered quietly in his ear.

At this time, Mo Yingyun had personally arranged everything. A horse and a full set of hunting equipment were all presented to Bai Yue under the guidance of servants.

He said to Bai Yue with concern.

"Princess, the horses and equipment are ready. You only need to follow the bridle path ahead to the platform to sign up. However, are you truly determined to participate in this hunting tournament?"

"Of course. Now that we're here, how can we justify the scenery along the way if we don't win first place?"

Bai Yue smiled as brightly as a flower. After taking the reins and tools from the servant, she jumped onto the horse with a swift and swift movement. Her heroic demeanor made her look like a female general about to go to war.

"No.... No. 1?"

Although Mo Yingyun admired Bai Yue's medical skills, he couldn't help but feel a little skeptical about her being able to get the title of "No. 1 Hunter".

"Keep going, Xiaoyue! When you win first place, I will be there in person to cheer you on."

Yun Qingchen looked at Bai Yue gently, with an encouraging smile on his lips.

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Bai Yue lightly pulled the reins, and the horse moved away, leaving only a series of crisp hoofbeats echoing in the empty horse trail.

When Bai Yue arrived at the foot of the high platform on the north side, he found that most of the people there were indeed young men from aristocratic families dressed in gorgeous clothes and with noble bearings. They were either chatting and laughing, or whispering and smiling, which was like a vivid picture of aristocracy.

Bai Yue leisurely led the horse through the noisy crowd. When she arrived at the registration place, the eunuch in charge of registration immediately came forward, his tone full of courtesy.

"Oh, this noble man, could it be that he is also here to attend this hunting feast and show off his prowess?"

"um, yes!"

Bai Yue nodded and responded concisely.

"May I ask your name, sir, and where you are from? I will record it in the book so that you can become famous in the future."

The eunuch asked with a smile, his pen ready to go.

"Oh, I'm from the Hostage House, my name is Bai Yue."

"Hostage?"

When the eunuch heard this, his eyes suddenly widened. He looked at Bai Yue carefully for a long while before asking in disbelief.

"You, can't be the Crown Princess Chenyun?"

As soon as the eunuch's words came out, the young masters of noble families near the registration office stopped talking and looked at Bai Yue curiously, but Bai Yue was not moved at all. She just nodded slightly to the eunuch and said.

"Yes, I am indeed the Crown Princess Chenyun!"

"Ah, this is the Crown Princess Chenyun? Isn't she said to be a fairy who has descended to earth? Why do I feel that she looks even more heroic than me?"

When those young masters from aristocratic families heard Bai Yue admit his identity, they suddenly became noisy like the chirping of cicadas in the afternoon.

"Perhaps this is what makes her so extraordinary? I heard that Young Marquis Chu carried her directly into the tent in front of everyone yesterday and didn't come out for a long time!"

"Ah? Chu Xingyu? Doesn't he have a special liking for Su Mengqi? My sister was crying to me yesterday, saying that Young Marquis Chu sat outside the camp gate for half a day waiting for Su Mengqi!"

"Hey, the affair between Su Mengqi and His Majesty has long been known to everyone. I guess Chu Xingyu is also disappointed, so he is looking for this Crown Princess Chenyun to vent his anger!"

Bai Yue turned a deaf ear to the gossip and just smiled and said to the eunuch.

"Little eunuch, I want to participate in today's hunting competition. Can you please register and then explain the rules of the competition to me in detail?"

"Your Highness, Crown Princess, do you really want to participate in this hunting competition? Only men sign up for it. If a noble like you participates, what if something goes wrong..."

Upon hearing this, the eunuch at the registration office couldn't help but look embarrassed.

"Yes, Your Highness, hunting is a test of riding and martial arts skills. How can a girl handle it so easily?"

"Look over there, isn't there a beauty pageant going on? You should change into some girly clothes and go over there to sign up. Maybe your pretty face will make you the center of attention."

A man with skin whiter than snow, almost comparable to a woman's, had a playful smile on his face and spoke in a teasing tone.

"Yes, yes, Young Master Tang is absolutely right! Crown Princess, please move over there and let the pageant become your stage to shine."

"Swords and knives are merciless in this hunting ground. What if I injure your delicate body?"

The young masters of aristocratic families who followed the handsome man echoed his words, their laughter tinged with frivolity.

"Oh, from what you're saying, does it mean that in your eyes, hunting is only for men, and women can only use their beauty to please men and compete with each other for beauty?"

Bai Yue glanced at Mr. Tang and spoke with a hint of provocation.

"However, I do think that with Young Master's stunning beauty, if he were to enter a beauty pageant, he would definitely take first place and eclipse all the other beauties!"

"What do you mean? Don't you know that our young master hates others making irresponsible comments about his appearance?"

Behind Young Master Tang, a young man from an aristocratic family heard this and his expression suddenly changed. He glared at Bai Yue.

"Since this young master questions my ability because of my gender, why can't I judge the activities suitable for him based on his appearance?"

Bai Yue shrugged and responded bluntly.

"Hmph, Young Master, you're only saying this out of sympathy for women. After all, hunting is dangerous, and as a woman, what can you do?"

Another young master from aristocratic family interrupted, his tone filled with disdain.

"What are you doing? I came to this competition to win first place. Isn't that why you came here?"

Bai Yue glanced at everyone and said calmly.

"You? First place? Hahahahahahahaha!"

Young Master Tang seemed to have heard the most incredible joke in the world, and suddenly burst into laughter in a very ungraceful manner.

The others around him also laughed wildly.

Bai Yue didn't say anything, but just looked at these people quietly. After the laughter gradually subsided, she spoke leisurely.

"Oh? From the looks of it, you guys probably don't believe I can get first place?"

"If the Crown Princess said I could capture a few docile rabbits, I might be able to reluctantly believe her, but aiming for the top spot is not as easy as you say."

Young Master Tang looked at Bai Yue and smiled contemptuously.

"I see. Then, please enlighten me on the rules of this hunting feast. At least, let me, a newcomer, have a good idea of ​​how difficult this competition is. Why can't I get first place?"

Bai Yue said as she looked at Mr. Tang Xiaobo, who had a playful look on his face.

"The rules are simple, but also difficult. It's nothing more than the points you get from hunting prey at noon determine the winner."

"Rabbits and chickens only get 1 point. Medium-sized animals like foxes get 10 points. Large beasts like wild boars get 100 points. As for fierce enemies like wolves, if you can conquer them, you get 500 points! These are the rules of our hunting grounds. I wonder which one the Crown Princess is targeting?"

"Oh, then suppose I'm lucky enough to capture a beast bigger than a wolf, how many points will I get then?"

Bai Yue asked with twinkling eyes.

"Prey bigger than wolves, you're so bold to say that, Crown Princess! Last year, the young Marquis Chu, who won first place, only hunted a wild boar. How dare you dream of hunting beasts other than wolves?"

"Hmph, if you really want to hunt, there's indeed a gigantic bear and a vicious python capable of stirring up the wind and clouds lurking in these deep forests. If you can hunt either of them, you'll definitely be the top dog today!"

"Alright, everyone, please stop making things difficult for Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess. After all, this woman always exaggerates and doesn't use her brain when she speaks!"

Young Master Tang looked at Bai Yue and said sarcastically.

"Your Highness, I advise you to leave immediately and stop wasting everyone's time here! If you can win first place in today's hunting competition, I will gladly don a gorgeous dress and personally attend the beauty pageant to entertain you!"
