Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

"Dad, help!"

Seeing that he was about to be taken away from the room, Chu Xingyu could only shout to Chu Lingyun with a pleading look on his face.

"Um, Qianyu..."

Just as Chu Lingyun was about to speak, he was interrupted by Mo Qianyu's sharp eyes and the subsequent growl.

"At this time, you still want to protect him?"

There was an unquestionable determination in her voice that made the air freeze.

Chu Lingyun's heart trembled, and the idea of ​​pleading for Chu Xingyu disappeared instantly. Instead, he hurriedly apologized to Bai Yue and Yun Qingchen beside him.

"Your Highnesses, Crown Prince and Crown Princess, I apologize for not being strict enough in my discipline. I apologize for making you both laugh."

His tone was full of apology, and it seemed that he was not going to care about Chu Xingyu's affairs anymore. Then, Mo Qianyu took Chu Xingyu away from the scene without mercy. Although the other party was unwilling, he had to leave in disappointment, leaving behind an awkward situation.

Seeing this, Bai Yue smiled gently, trying to ease the sudden awkward atmosphere.

"Lord Chu, since you are all well, we will not disturb you. If you feel unwell, please send someone to find me at the mansion."

Her words were gentle, but she couldn't hide a hint of embarrassment.

Chu Lingyun responded politely, then arranged for someone to send Bai Yue and Yun Qingchen away. After the two left the Marquis' Mansion, the storm seemed to have subsided.

After the two of them entered the hostage house, Yun Qingchen, who had been silent all the way, suddenly asked.

"Xiaoyue, I remember that you and Chu Xingyu seemed to have become strangers, but what happened today was beyond my expectation."

There was a hint of inquiry in his tone, as if he wanted to see through Bai Yue's thoughts.

"Perhaps it's because I saved Lord Chu's life, Xingyu is grateful, so his attitude has changed."

Bai Yue's heart tightened, Sixuan's warning was still ringing in her ears. She could only pretend to be relaxed and cleverly avoid the core of the topic.

"That's it..."

There was a hint of loss in Yun Qingchen's murmur, as if he was trying to gently dispel the fog and touch upon some unexpected truth.

"Yeah, that's right. Didn't Lord Chu say today that he would plead with Mo Xuanche to let us return to Wenqu Kingdom? With Grandpa Mo's help, I believe the day we return is definitely just around the corner!"

Bai Yue curled up a bright smile at the corner of her mouth and said to Yun Qingchen.

"Yes, in fact, my heart has already flown back there!"

Yun Qingchen's voice was also filled with deep attachment to his homeland, and there was a word hidden in his heart that he hadn't said out loud.

"This way, you'll be mine alone, and I won't have to listen to you calling me 'Chu Xingyu' or 'Mo Xuanche' so affectionately anymore!"

Three days later, at the break of dawn, the capital of Wulie Kingdom was bathed in a brilliant morning glow. The envoys from Wenqu Kingdom arrived as scheduled, adding a touch of exotic charm to the capital.

Yun Qingchen and Bai Yue dressed up carefully in the morning just to welcome the Wenqu delegation that might come to see them at any time. At Xiaoyi's request, Bai Yue changed into the gorgeous "Bu Bu Wei Ying" dress. The purpose was to make the envoys of Wenqu admire her stunning beauty when they saw her, and let them know that the Princess Baihua that Yun Qingchen married was also a peerless beauty who combined beauty and talent.

However, from the dawn to the setting sun, Yun Qingchen and Bai Yue sat in the main hall for a whole day, but there was no sign of the delegation.

Xiaoyi held the teapot in her hand and added tea for the two of them again and again. As the sky was getting later, she couldn't help but show a bit of anxiety and confusion between her brows, and muttered softly.

"Strange! The sun is almost setting, why haven't our envoys arrived yet? Could it be that the Wulie Kingdom has set up some checkpoints to deliberately delay them?"

Just as everyone was secretly speculating in their hearts, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door. Sixuan returned exhausted, his face full of anxiety. When he saw Yun Qingchen, he hurriedly bowed and reported.

"Your Highness, I just returned from the diplomatic mission. The head of the diplomatic mission to Wu Lie is none other than Prince Hui—His Highness Yun Qingchi!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiaoyi couldn't contain her inner joy and laughed softly.

"Oh, so it's His Royal Highness Prince Hui who's leading the team! That's fantastic news! His Royal Highness Prince Hui is incredibly wise, and he'll surely be able to easily resolve any problems facing the Wulie Kingdom. Furthermore, he and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have been close since childhood. I'm sure he'll come to see His Royal Highness soon and renew our brotherly friendship!"

"So it's Qing Chi who's here! Time flies, and we two brothers haven't seen each other for several years!"

Yun Qingchen sighed with a gentle look, and when he saw Bai Yue's puzzled look, he explained to her with a smile.

"Qing Chi is the only son of my Second Imperial Uncle. Unfortunately, he lost both his parents when he was young. My father, the Emperor, and my mother, the Empress, took pity on him and brought him into the palace. He and I grew up together, and our friendship is truly extraordinary."

When Bai Yue heard this, a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes. A warm smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and she joked.

"So, although Prince Hui and you, Qingchen, are cousins, they are better than brothers!"

Yun Qingchen nodded slightly, a hint of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Sixuan and asked with concern.

"Sixuan, if Qing Chi is here, why hasn't he arrived yet? Could it be that Wulie has set some obstacles for our Wenqu Kingdom's delegation? Is that why they can't come?"

Sixuan looked a little flustered when he heard this, and he stammered.

"Your Highness, you are worrying too much. The Wulie Kingdom's hospitality this time is extremely thoughtful. Not only did they arrange the best embassy for our delegation, they also prepared a sumptuous banquet in the embassy as a welcome."

"Huh? If that's the case, then why hasn't His Royal Highness Prince Hui come to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

When Xiaoyi heard Sixuan say this, she immediately asked curiously.

Sixuan scratched his head, looking quite embarrassed, but finally gritted his teeth and spoke hesitantly.

"His Royal Highness Prince Hui said that he has been traveling a lot lately and is quite tired, so he will not come to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Anyway, His Royal Highness can attend the state banquet of Wulie Kingdom as a hostage tomorrow, so we can talk about our brotherly friendship at the banquet tomorrow!"

As soon as Sixuan finished speaking, there was a crisp "pa" sound, and an exquisite teacup fell quietly to the ground, as if silently expressing some indescribable emotion...

At this moment, Yun Qingchen was filled with an indescribable aura of despair. His body trembled involuntarily, and his murmurs were filled with endless sadness and self-doubt.

"I am indeed a loser. I never thought that even my closest relatives would avoid me like the plague! I am indeed..."

Before he could finish his words, an embrace like the warm spring sun suddenly enveloped him, followed by an extremely gentle voice.

"Don't worry, Qingchen, you're not trash. You don't need to question yourself at all! But some people are no different from trash. It seems I have to reform them at tomorrow's state banquet!"
