Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

"Your Highness, please forgive my recklessness just now! She loves her father deeply, so she said such inappropriate words!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Liu Yanzhi quickly bowed deeply to Bai Yue.

"As an Imperial Censor, I, Liu Yan, have a sword in my bones. If I don't stand up and speak out against what I believe to be injustice, how can I demonstrate my character and live up to the title 'Martial and Brave'?"

His words were sonorous and powerful, and his face was filled with unquestionable righteousness, which attracted approving glances from the civil officials around him, as if at this moment, they had jointly built a wall to defend justice.

"That's right, Your Highness. Everything Censor Liu did was for Wu Lie's future. Didn't your words just now chill the heart of a loyal minister?"

The crowd's voices echoed one after another, and the air was filled with a power that should not be underestimated.

Mo Xuanche's gaze on the high platform was as deep as a pool. He looked at Bai Yue with a smile, very curious about how she would deal with these situations next.

"There's a steel knife in my bones..."

Bai Yue's eyes moved and she just happened to catch the figures of Qi Mufeng and Chu Lingyun quietly slipping back to their seats while everyone's attention was focused on her.

So she walked up to Qi Mufeng and asked with a smile.

"Duke Qi, could you please return the dagger I just lent you to its original owner?"

"Oh, that thief Chu Lingyun stole the dagger. Princess, you must find him and ask him to return it immediately!"

When Qi Mufeng heard Bai Yue asking about the dagger, he immediately pointed at Chu Lingyun and accused him.

"Lord Chu, my dagger..."

Bai Yue had no choice but to walk in front of Chu Lingyun again, but the other party put on an extremely innocent look, scratching his head and pretending to be deep in thought.

"Oh, that dagger... I have a bad memory. In my excitement, I forgot where I put it. Princess, please wait a moment. Let me think about it carefully..."

"Okay, Dad, isn't the dagger in your sleeve? Didn't you just show off in front of me how sharp it is and how it can cut through iron like mud?"

Chu Xingyu, who was sitting on the left of Chu Lingyun, had now changed into a flawless white attire of a handsome young man. The most eye-catching thing was the peony flower given to him by Bai Yue pinned on his chest, which was now blooming proudly in an ostentatious manner.

"Xingyu, you little brat, you really forget your father when you see a beautiful woman!"

Chu Lingyun sighed and shook his head, while reluctantly pulling out the dagger from his sleeve.

Chu Xingyu glanced at Bai Yue with a blushing face, and immediately retorted to Chu Lingyun.

"Dad, please stop talking nonsense!"

Unfortunately, Bai Yue didn't pay attention to the interaction between the father and son at this moment. After taking the dagger, she quickly walked to Liu Yanzhi, then pulled out the scabbard with a neat movement. A flash of silver light was heart-pounding.

"Princess, what do you want to do?"

Liu Yanzhi looked at the sharp blade tip so close to him, and his voice trembled unconsciously.

"Haha, Lord Censor Liu, didn't you say you were a man of steel? Then you wouldn't be afraid of a little game of 'flying knife and fruit' with me, right?"

Bai Yue put a round apple in Liu Yanzhi's hand, then turned and walked back, walking to a place 10 meters away from Liu Yanzhi.

"If my dagger pierces the apple in Censor Liu's hand, then Censor Liu, please shut up and stop interfering with the old prince's decision to take me in as his granddaughter!"

"But if I hadn't pierced the apple, I would have considered myself to be immoral and would no longer be able to be the old prince's granddaughter!"

Bai Yue played with the dagger in her hand, then said to Liu Yanzhi with a smile.

"Throwing knives and fruit? What a ridiculous trick! I am a dignified Imperial Censor, how can I..."

"Oh, this game is quite unique and interesting. My dear Liu, why don't you accompany the Crown Princess to have some fun so that she can experience the iron will of a brave and valiant minister like me? What do you think?"

Before Liu Yanzhi finished his words, he was interrupted by Mo Xuanche on the high platform.

"But, Your Majesty..."

As soon as Liu Yanzhi's eyes met the cold dagger in Bai Yue's hand, his throat couldn't help but roll, as if even his saliva was trembling.

"Why, are you scared? If that's the case, then wouldn't the iron-clad spirit you spoke of be nothing more than a castle in the air, a tree without roots?"

Mo Xuanche raised a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, and glanced at Liu Yanzhi with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

"I……"

Liu Yanzhi looked around and felt that everyone's gazes were like sharp swords sweeping towards him, so he made up his mind and spoke with a bit of determination like a hero cutting off his own arm.

"Okay! Your servant, Liu Yanzhi, is willing to participate in this unique game with the Crown Princess!"

"Haha, Censor Liu is truly a straightforward person! Then, please place the apple in your hand on top of your head. This way, my aim will be even better!"

Bai Yue said with a bright smile. Liu Yanzhi had no choice but to take off his official hat and carefully place the apple on his head.

Bai Yue looked at Liu Yanzhi's figure, which was trembling slightly due to nervousness. Every time he raised the dagger, he seemed to be pulled by some invisible force and slowly put it down.

After she did this three or four times, she finally turned to Mo Xuanche on the podium and made an unexpected request.

"Your Majesty, could you please give me a piece of black cloth to cover my eyes?"

"Oh? A blindfold challenge? Could it be that the Crown Princess has mastered the art of locating objects by sound, and intends to lock onto Lord Liu, the 'bull's eye', solely through her hearing?"

When Mo Xuanche heard this, a hint of surprise and curiosity flashed in his eyes.

"Ah, that's not the case. It's just that Censor Liu was shaking too violently, making it hard for me to aim. If I accidentally pierce him, blood will splatter everywhere. I can't bear to watch that scene!"

Bai Yue said this with a slight frown on her face, as if she was really afraid of such a scene, but her words made Liu Yanzhi's heart instantly rise to his throat, and he even almost fainted.

"Well, what the Crown Princess said is absolutely right. Come, quickly prepare a piece of black cloth for the Crown Princess. The cloth must be thick and opaque to prevent the Crown Princess from seeing any overly bloody scenes!"

Mo Xuanche said this with a serious face, and those who were sitting next to Liu Yanzhi all moved aside unconsciously, as if they were afraid that Bai Yue's flying knife would be careless and accidentally stab them.

When the eunuch came to Bai Yue with the black cloth in his hand, she immediately covered her eyes with the black cloth and spoke loudly to Liu Yanzhi.

"Prince Liu, get ready!"
