Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

Before Bai Yue finished speaking, the dagger at her fingertips was ready to strike. At this critical moment, Liu Yanzhi's voice exploded like thunder, piercing the tense air.

"Wait a minute!"

He shouted loudly, with unquestionable determination in his voice.

"Your Majesty, I dare to say that Crown Princess Chenyun is virtuous and of high character. The old prince is blessed with such a granddaughter. She is the glory of our Wulie Kingdom!"

Liu Yanzhi's words were sonorous, as if every sentence contained endless respect and admiration.

"Lord Liu, are you serious about this?"

A hint of amusement flashed in Mo Xuanche's eyes, and a barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Your Majesty, every word I say comes from the bottom of my heart, without a single word of falsehood. Therefore, this flying knife and fruit-throwing stunt is completely unnecessary. It is better to call it a day!"

As Liu Yanzhiyan spoke, he decisively threw the apple on his head to the side. His movements were so fast that it attracted people's attention.

"In that case, thank you very much for your approval, Master Liu!"

Bai Yue deftly took off the black blindfold and spoke to Liu Yanzhi with a smile in her eyes.

"Haha, you, you are so polite!"

Liu Yanzhi said this as he quickly sat down, while on the other side an official had a gloomy expression and spoke in a displeased tone.

"Prince Liu, you are a little too timid. A mere flying knife trick is nothing to worry about. Why not let the Crown Princess try her skills?"

Hearing this, Liu Yanzhi couldn't help but sneer, then he looked at Bai Yue with sharp eyes and proposed loudly.

"Your Highness, there's a Mr. Zhang here who seems to have quite a misunderstanding about you. Why not take this opportunity to join him in a game of knife and fruit throwing?"

"Oh, really? Which Lord Zhang still has misunderstandings about me?"

Bai Yue smiled and her eyes moved around. Mr. Zhang's face suddenly turned pale. He quickly put on a flattering attitude and said with a smile.

"The Crown Princess's talent and wisdom are like the bright moon in the sky, dazzling and brilliant. How dare I criticize her in the slightest? I can only look up to her with admiration!"

"It doesn't matter. If anyone is unwilling to accept this, just stand up and speak out. It's just a matter of getting stabbed. I believe that you are all strong-willed people, so it shouldn't matter to you!"

Bai Yue smiled as she looked at the civil servants who were sitting upright but as silent as cicadas frozen by the winter wind. Their lips were tightly pursed, as if no one dared to step forward and be the first to speak out.

"Since everyone has no objection, I will continue with my work!"

After Bai Yue quietly retracted the dagger, she walked to Mo Yingyun's desk, picked up the tea on the table elegantly, then knelt on one knee in front of Mo Yingyun, and spoke with sincerity and respect in her eyes.

"Grandpa Mo, please have some tea!"

"Well, you are indeed my granddaughter, Mo Yingyun. You are smart and wise!"

Mo Yingyun thought about what had just happened, and wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes from smiling. When he took the teacup with both hands and was about to take a sip, the harmony was interrupted by a sudden voice from the opposite side.

"Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess truly possesses both courage and wisdom. This earns my sincere admiration!"

On the left side of the platform, Lin Shixian looked at Bai Yue with a sharp gaze, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Your Highness, the coercive tactics you used just now, which left all the officials speechless, truly demonstrated your extraordinary wisdom. This king deeply admires you!"

"But if you want to be the princess of my country, Wulie, you'd better convince others with your talent and ability. Otherwise, when others talk about you, I'm afraid they will criticize you!"

"Oh, then, what does Lord Lin have to say?"

Bai Yue's eyes met Lin Shixian's sharp eyes, and her calmness revealed a tenacity that could not be ignored.

"This prince believes that if Your Highness can demonstrate astonishing talent in any of these arts—the lingering music of the zither, the turbulent chess games, the expressive calligraphy and painting, or poetry and song—you will convince the world that you are truly worthy of the title of princess."

Lin Shixian raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and the provocation was evident in his words.

"Alas, after all this fuss, we still have to fight with words!"

Bai Yue sighed lightly, then turned to the crowd and spoke in a clear voice.

"In that case, I will write a lyric. Just to throw out some ideas. If someone can come up with something more exquisite than mine, I will be happy to make Grandpa Mo and I a close relative today. No questions asked!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar all around. Those civil servants who boasted of their talents immediately flashed a mixture of excitement and disdain in their eyes.

"Writing lyrics? Haha, this is our forte. Her Highness the Crown Princess probably didn't expect to encounter such a tough challenge!"

"That's right. Although she did have a few short poems that were circulated, they were ultimately minor and not worthy of being published in a prestigious journal."

They whispered to each other, as if they had already seen Bai Yue's imminent defeat, while Lin Shixian leisurely pointed to the bright moon like a silver plate in the night sky and said to Bai Yue with a smile.

"Since that's the case, please, Princess, compose a poem about this bright moon hanging in the sky!"

"Oh, the moon..."

When Bai Yue looked at the round and bright moon in the sky, she suddenly remembered the night when she was rescued from the cold human laboratory by the captain. There was also such a beautiful and flawless moon hanging in the sky.

"Little boy, what's your name? Do you remember the direction of home?"

The captain's warm voice seemed to have crossed the barriers of time and space and rang in my ears again.

"My name is number 1537. Ma'am, what are your instructions?"

Bai Yue answered mechanically. At that time, she only had cold numbers in her heart and knew nothing about the warmth of the world.

"No, little friend, I'm asking if you still remember what your parents look like. Can I take you home?"

"My name is number 1537. Ma'am, what are your instructions?"

"Captain, this child is probably the only surviving experimental subject here. I just checked other rooms, and the scene is so terrible that I can't even imagine it in my nightmares!"

"Forget it, let's take her away from here first. I will report the rest to the higher-ups."

When Bai Yue first set foot in the outside world, she looked up and saw the bright moon. Her heart suddenly trembled, as if the whole world became vivid and alive at this moment. She had never imagined that there was such a breathtaking beauty outside the laboratory.

"Wow, this little guy's eyes are shining. What do you think? Isn't the moon in the sky breathtakingly beautiful?"

"My number is 1537. May I ask..."

The captain interrupted him before he could finish his habitual answer.

"Well, from now on, you will be called Bai Yue. Like a piece of pure white paper, rewrite your life. And like the bright moon, use your light to illuminate the path of others. What do you think of this name?

"Captain, you're so fast! You've even chosen a name. Are you planning to keep this experimental subject?"

"What experimental subject? She's clearly a real little girl! I think you deserve a beating, go back and do 500 push-ups for me!!"

"No, it will kill people, Captain..."

At this chaotic moment, Bai Yue murmured.

"I am the White Moon. I want to be... the moon that lights the way for others..."
