Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

"Your Majesty, rest assured. How dare I neglect such a major matter? This morning, I entered the palace and reported this matter in detail to the Empress Dowager!"

"Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother's joy matched that of Your Majesty. She has happily agreed to allow me to take Princess Baiyue as my granddaughter!"

Mo Yingyun had a smile on his face as if he had already seen through everything. He bowed gracefully to Mo Xuanche, and his words were full of calmness.

"Haha, that's perfect! The Queen Mother rarely gets the chance to see Old Uncle Wang. With this meeting today, her mood must be as bright as spring flowers!"

Mo Xuanche said with a hint of sarcasm as if he had thought of something interesting.

"Then Crown Princess Chenyun, no, I should call you Princess Baiyue now, are you willing to become my uncle Wang's granddaughter and my cousin?"

"Okay!"

"Grandpa, I kowtow to you!"

As soon as Mo Xuanche finished speaking, Bai Yue knelt down without hesitation and kowtowed three times to Mo Yingyun. This sudden action made the entire venue quiet in an instant, and even the air seemed to freeze.

"Well, I've kowtowed to you. You are now my real grandfather! From now on, you can just call me Xiaoyue. I will still call you Grandpa Mo!"

After Bai Yue stood up from the ground, she said to Mo Yingyun playfully.

"Xiaoyue, the royal family recognition ceremony is no joke! It requires solemn sacrifices, complicated ceremonies, and formal enthronement. Nothing can be missed..."

Yun Qingchen came to his senses first and quickly spoke to Bai Yue.

"Uh, it's so complicated. In our place, a bow and a cup of tea are enough to seal the deal!"

Bai Yue couldn't help but frown when she heard Yun Qingchen say that.

"That's fine, that's fine. Since Xiaoyue likes things simple and direct, then let's do as she says. Xiaoyue, offer this old man a cup of fragrant tea, and let all those red tape go with the wind!"

Mo Yingyun looked at Bai Yue and said with eyes full of love and doting.

However, just as Mo Yingyun finished speaking, a civil servant in a bright red official robe suddenly stood up and interrupted the warm atmosphere with a loud voice.

"Old Prince, this is wrong! How can the royal family's tradition of recognizing relatives be easily changed? Moreover, the behavior of Crown Princess Chenyun is too vulgar. I believe that she is not suitable to be your granddaughter!"

His words were sharp, and it was obvious that he had great objections to Bai Yue becoming Mo Yingyun's granddaughter. After he finished speaking, many civil servants nodded in agreement, as if they agreed with his statement.

"Prince Liu, what do you mean by that? Didn't you see Xiaoyue's heroic performance today when she killed a bear and a python in the hunting grounds? With such courage and bravery, how can she not be worthy of becoming the jewel in the crown of my palace?"

Mo Yingyun's brows condensed with a hint of majesty, and he spoke in a low and powerful voice.

"Old Prince, you have misunderstood. I have also heard of the bravery of Crown Princess Chenyun, and my admiration for her is like a torrent of water, endless and unending."

"But the princess's elegance lies not only in her martial prowess, but also in her gentle talent in poetry, song, calligraphy, and painting. However, I have not had the privilege of witnessing the Crown Princess's grace in these matters, so I dare to offer this suggestion. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Although Lord Liu remained humble in his words, the inadvertent curve of his lips revealed a subtle provocation.

"Liu Yanzhi, you——"

Mo Yingyun was about to explode, but Bai Yue took the lead and spoke to the other party in a clear voice.

"Oh, so what Lord Liu is saying is that if I can show some talent in poetry, song, calligraphy, and painting, proving I'm more than just a rough man wielding a sword, then I'm worthy of the title of princess and can become Grandpa Mo's granddaughter?"

"Haha, what the Crown Princess said is absolutely right. This is exactly what I meant!"

When Liu Yanzhi heard Bai Yue say this, he immediately nodded in agreement.

"Then may I ask, Master Liu, how can I prove what you said?"

"Haha, this is not difficult. Although I am not a jack of all trades, I have dabbled in these elegant matters. If the Crown Princess can convince me sincerely, then you will undoubtedly be the qualified princess who combines bravery and talent!"

After saying that, Liu Yanzhi straightened his back, like a teacher waiting to assess his students.

"Oh, Lord Liu, may I ask what high position you hold?"

Bai Yue's eyes moved as she looked at Liu Yanzhi with a smile, with a hint of curiosity in her tone.

When Liu Yanzhi heard this, a complacent arc appeared on the corner of his mouth and he said slowly.

"I, a humble official, am humbled by my humble status as the Imperial Censor, a mere first-rank official."

"Oh, a first-rank official, it's truly extraordinary! Then, Lord Liu, what do you think of my status?"

Bai Yue laughed as she spoke, staring at the other person with bright eyes.

"Your Highness, you are the companion of Crown Prince Chenyun and the noble Third Princess of the Baihua Kingdom. You are of a distinguished status and are naturally a member of the royal family..."

When Liu Yanzhi said this, his expression changed slightly as if he thought of something.

"Oh, it seems that Lord Liu still has a sense of justice. He actually knows that I am a princess of a country and of royal blood! I thought that the officials of you Wulie Kingdom were all so bold that they didn't even take the royal family seriously!"

Bai Yue changed the subject, her tone slightly raised, and she looked at Mo Xuanche with a half-smile as she continued.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask, in Wulie, do the royal family still need to report every action to these civil officials? Could it be that the rule of Wulie is actually supported by these pen-and-ink officials, rather than by your Majesty personally?"

"No, that is absolutely not what I meant. Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of doing anything wrong. I hope Your Majesty will understand!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yanzhi became extremely anxious and hurriedly explained to Mo Xuanche on the podium.

"Hmph, Crown Princess Chenyun, there's something cryptic in your words. My father is the Imperial Censor, and his duty is to monitor the government. If he finds you lacking moral integrity, that's just official business. What's wrong with that?"

Under the high platform, Concubine Liu finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted at Bai Yue with a bit of indignation in her voice.

"How dare you! You are a concubine in the harem. Who allowed you to discuss state affairs? It seems that your Wu Lie is not only powerful as a civil official, but also able to meddle in the harem as well!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yue curled up the corners of her mouth into a faint smile, like a pear blossom blooming in spring, elegant yet sharp.

"Yes, the old prince is the head of our family. If he wants to adopt a granddaughter, it is not something that these ministers can interfere with!"

"Well, and this Concubine Liu, don't you see what kind of occasion it is? Sigh, Your Majesty is really too doting on his harem, so he has raised these spoiled creatures!"

At this moment, the whispers among the noble families had formed a huge web of dissatisfaction. After listening to Bai Yue's words, they obviously had complaints about the inappropriate behavior of Liu Yanzhi and Liu Fei.
