Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

"Hey, Lu Caiwei, you're here to participate in the beauty pageant too!"

A girl in flowing white clothes asked doubtfully as she looked at the gentle girl with the beauty pageant flower on her chest.

Lu Caiwei bit her lower lip lightly, a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

"Alas, Miss Min'er, you are truly a forgetful person. Ever since you and I teamed up with Su Mengqi to frame Crown Princess Chenyun, my father has said that my reputation has been damaged and he is no longer as gracious to me as before!"

"Plus, my younger sisters frequently come to my father to curry favor, so I want to see if I can win the favor of any noble young master at today's beauty pageant!"

Her words were filled with bitterness and expectation.

"But it's strange. From this morning until now, I haven't met a single talented person from an aristocratic family who could move my heart. Shouldn't this hunting event have ended long ago? Why haven't those elegant young men arrived yet? It's as if they've disappeared from the face of the earth."

She frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

"Oh, if you wait here for them, you'll probably be disappointed. Most of the young men from the noble families have lost bets to Crown Princess Chenyun. They're probably wearing women's clothes right now, hiding so well that not even their shadows can be seen!"

Ning Miner raised a playful smile at the corner of her mouth and turned her gaze to Lu Caiwei, her eyes full of teasing.

"What? Crown Princess Chenyun won the bet. Does that mean she won first place in the hunting competition?"

When Lu Caiwei heard this, her eyes widened in disbelief.

"Of course. I saw her return with the bear-headed python head in my own eyes. It seems she showed some mercy when she was teaching our servants a lesson!"

Ning Miner recalled what she saw today and couldn't help but shudder and said.

Just as the two were chatting, a fragrant breeze blew over, and a charming and beautiful woman with extraordinary appearance quietly joined them. She said with a contemptuous smile on her lips.

"Humph, that Crown Princess Chenyun is nothing more than an ugly monster. How hard is it to kill a few wild beasts?"

"Oh, isn't this Liu Ruyi? She lost to your sister in the beauty pageant last year. Is she making a comeback this year, vowing to avenge her previous defeat?"

Ning Miner recognized the visitor at a glance. She frowned slightly, obviously a little unhappy with this sudden interruption.

"Don't mention Liu Rumei to me casually. I get angry just thinking about her!"

"I don't know what kind of magic she used last year to make someone like Duke Lin willingly give her thousands of flowers. Otherwise, how could she have become the most beautiful woman?"

"Later, she used this opportunity to enter the deep palace and became the most favored imperial concubine in the six palaces. Every time I think about this, my stomach churns and I feel nauseous!"

It seemed as if every word Liu Ruyi spoke was tempered by ice. If someone who didn't know the truth heard it, they would definitely mistakenly think that she and Liu Rumei had a blood feud.

"Oh? From what you say, do you also want to emulate her and win the title of 'Most Beautiful Woman' this year, so that you can fight to the death with your sister who is of the same origin but has different intentions in the deep palace backyard?"

Ning Miner's lips curled up into a playful smile, and her words were full of sarcasm.

"How could I, Liu Ruyi, be so short-sighted? With my beauty and intelligence, I will surely make all the noble families in this imperial capital succumb to my charm!"

Liu Ruyi opened her red lips slightly, and an extremely charming smile slowly blossomed on her face. Looking at her pretentious look, Ning Miner spoke directly.

"Hey, don't you know that a group of young men from aristocratic families have made a bet with the Crown Princess..."

Ning Min'er was interrupted by Liu Ruyi's confident voice before she could finish her words.

"Alas, those who participated in the bet are just some low-class characters. The noble family disciples I am talking about are the four young masters from the Chu, Luo, Tang, and Gu families. They are the ones who are worthy of me, Liu Ruyi, to show off my talents!"

Liu Ruyi's words were full of infinite confidence in herself, as if the situation in the entire capital city was already surging in her hands.

"Oh, the young masters of the Tang, Gu, and Luo families have all made bets with Crown Princess Chenyun and lost. They are now wearing women's clothing. I wonder where they are hiding!"

There was a cunning glint in Ning Miner's eyes, as if she was looking forward to Liu Ruyi's reaction when she heard the news.

"Tsk, do you think I'm a three-year-old child that's so easy to fool? Those three young masters are all outstanding men. How could they make a bet with an ugly woman?!"

A scornful smile appeared on Liu Ruyi's lips, and a gleam of disdain flashed in her eyes.

"Strange, have you ever seen the Crown Princess? How can you be so sure that she is ugly?"

Ning Miner frowned slightly, and couldn't help feeling a little curious.

"Although I didn't see it myself, Lin Qinghe did. She told me that those rumors about Crown Princess Chenyun being a fairy were all fabricated by her to cover up her unsightly appearance!"

When Liu Ruyi said this, there was a smug light in her eyes, as if she had grasped the truth.

"Let me ask you, what true beauty in the world would be willing to miss any opportunity to show off her unparalleled beauty?"

"But this Crown Princess Chenyun only dares to wield her whip and gallop around the hunting grounds, and avoids beauty pageants. Isn't it because she knows in her heart that with her beauty, how can she dare to compete with other beauties?"

"shut up!"

At this moment, a woman dressed in fiery red clothes and wearing a dazzling golden mask suddenly interrupted Liu Ruyi's harsh and ruthless ridicule of Bai Yue.

She walked straight towards Liu Ruyi and spoke in a slightly unnatural voice.

"Compared to the Crown Princess, you are nothing but a speck of dust dreaming of reaching the clouds in the sky. You are simply asking for trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyi's face instantly turned from pale to blue. She seemed to have been hit by the most vicious curse, and the anger in her chest was about to erupt like a volcano.

"How dare you humiliate me like this! Where did you come from, you ignorant little girl?!"

"I, Liu Ruyi, am the most beautiful woman in the capital. Who else but me deserves the title of the most beautiful woman today?"

However, the woman in red simply smiled indifferently, and that smile revealed a bit of disdain and ridicule through the golden mask.

"Don't worry, you won't be soon!"

After saying this, she turned around, leaving behind a resolute and charming back, and walked quickly towards the registration area in the south.

Liu Ruyi was behind her, stamping her feet in frustration, her voice full of speculation and disdain about the identity and appearance of this mysterious woman.

"Bah, what bad luck! How could I run into such a stinky girl who's so pretentious and has such a stilted voice? It's clearly a beauty pageant, but she's covering her face. Who knows what kind of ugly freak she must be!"
