Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

"What a bunch of bullshit, 'eldest brother is like a father, eldest sister-in-law is like a mother'! Get off me now, you ugly woman, or don't blame me for being rude!"

Yun Qingchi's roar pierced the quiet air. He tried his best, his muscles tensed, like a lone boat struggling in the raging sea, trying to push Bai Yue's seemingly light figure away from him.

However, Bai Yue was as steady as a rock. No matter how Yun Qingchi struggled, he was like an ant trying to shake a tree and could not move at all.

"'The eldest brother is your father' means your brother is your father, and you should respect him like an elder. 'The eldest sister-in-law is your mother' means your sister-in-law is your mother. If you don't obey, your mother will naturally have the obligation to take care of you!"

Bai Yue gently waved the whisk in her hand with the corner of her mouth, and her words were full of playfulness and teaching.

"Such a simple truth, yet you don't understand its meaning. And yet you still claim to be the smartest person in Wenqu Country? Isn't that a laughing stock?"

"What are you talking about, Daddy or Mommy? You ugly woman, hurry up..."

Before Yun Qingchi could finish his words, he felt a burning pain under his buttocks. It turned out that the whisk in Bai Yue's hand had turned into a stick of punishment and fell on him mercilessly.

"If you disrespect your elder sister-in-law, you should be punished!"

Her voice was cold and firm, without a trace of emotion.

"How dare you, you shrew, do this to me!"

Yun Qingchi grimaced in pain and was burning with anger. He immediately pointed his finger at Yun Qingchen, who was silent on the side, and cursed loudly.

"Yun Qingchen, this crazy woman is your woman, how could you..."

Before he finished speaking, another stick fell, accompanied by a crisp "pa" sound, and Yun Qingchi suffered again.

"Calling brother by his first name is extremely disrespectful. I will punish you again!"

Bai Yue had a blank expression on her face, but her eyes gleamed with an unquestionable light.

"Hey, you guys, are you just sitting there waiting to see me make a fool of myself? Why don't you come over here and help me pull this crazy woman off me!"

Yun Qingchi was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He shouted for help to the envoys from Wenqu State who were completely confused about the situation. Only then did these people react and stood up to come to Yun Qingchi's aid.

"Everyone—sit—down—for me!"

Bai Yue held a whisk in her hand and pointed at the envoys from Wenqu State who had stood up, speaking word by word. Everyone was shocked by her appearance and shrank back in fear.

"I'm telling you, if anyone dares to come over to help, I'll beat that guy up too!"

"This... Your Highness, your behavior is too ostentatious at the Wulie Kingdom's state banquet. Aren't you afraid of losing face and becoming a laughing stock?"

The envoys looked at each other in confusion, and finally could only use their eloquence to try to rescue Yun Qingchi.

"Oh, envoy, you must be dazzled, aren't you? Your Crown Princess is sitting at her table, leisurely savoring her cakes. How could this be so absurd?"

Mo Yingyun interrupted at the right time, his voice clear and bright, like the morning bell and evening drum, instantly awakening the resonance of those around him. The officials responded one after another, their laughter tinged with a bit of teasing and confusion.

"Yes, yes, yes. Your Highness the Crown Princess is simply enjoying a delicious meal. Emissaries from the Wenqu Kingdom, could it be that the fine wine from our Wulie Kingdom is so intoxicating that you're all a little tipsy?"

"Speaking of fine wine, the fine wines at this banquet are truly rare. Come, my lords, I offer you this glass of fine wine. May the friendship between our two countries last forever!"

The people of Wulie State seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding. They frequently toasted the envoys of Wenqu State, as if they were ready to turn a blind eye to the "little episode" in front of them.

"Are you all crazy? Don't you see this ugly woman..."

Yun Qingchi had just finished speaking when he was hit hard on the butt. He no longer cared about those officials who had nothing to do with him, but turned around and cursed at Bai Yue.

"You shrew, you stinky woman, if you dare to..."

From then on, whenever Yun Qingchi spoke rudely, Bai Yue would respond with a merciless beating.

Finally, after more than a dozen consecutive blows, Yun Qingchi's voice finally trembled and pleaded for mercy.

"Sister-in-law, I know I was wrong. I will never speak such nonsense again. Please have mercy on me and forgive me!"

Bai Yue glanced back at Yun Qingchi expressionlessly, and spoke without any emotion in her tone.

"The one you should really apologize to is not me, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who grew up with you. He treats you like a family member, but how dare you treat him so disrespectfully?"

"Brother Emperor, I, Yun Qingchi, truly know I was wrong. I beg you to be magnanimous and ask the Empress Dowager to forgive me this time!"

When Yun Qingchi looked at Yun Qingchen with pleading eyes, his handsome face, which seemed slightly cynical, was now filled with frustration and depression.

Seeing this, Yun Qingchen shook his head gently, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he turned to Bai Yue and spoke softly.

"Xiaoyue, please forgive him this time. I think this kid should know he's wrong."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yue jumped lightly and stood up from Yun Qingchi. Then she pulled the other person up and smiled sternly.

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has spoken, how dare I disobey? However, my little cousin, you must learn your lesson from now on and stop being so unruly. Otherwise, as the Emperor's sister-in-law, I'm afraid I'll have to go to great lengths to teach you a lesson!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingchi felt unwilling in his heart, but he had to appear submissive. He glanced at Bai Yue's gaudy face, forced a wry smile, and said with gritted teeth.

"What the Empress's sister-in-law said today is like the morning bell and evening drum. I will remember it in my heart and never forget it!"

"In that case, I hope my little cousin can keep his word!"

Bai Yue's lips curled up into a gentle yet sly smile, and she gently patted the other person's shoulder as if comforting a child.

She raised her wrist lightly, and the whisk drew a free and easy arc in the air. Then she turned and walked straight out of the hall.

"Humph, you still say I don't know etiquette. Isn't it even more unbecoming and disrespectful of etiquette for you to just leave like that?"

Yun Qingchi looked at Bai Yue's leisurely and contented back, and couldn't help but curl his lips and muttered in a low voice.

"Oh my, little cousin, you haven't forgotten my reputation among the people, have you? I'm headstrong, sarcastic, and a bit silly. The word 'rules' means nothing to me!"

Bai Yue turned around leisurely and said with a hint of provocation between his brows.

"Then you still..."

Yun Qingchi was about to speak when he saw Bai Yue raise the whisk in her hand and speak to him.

"If you can beat me, then try to reason with me. If you can't, then just follow the rules yourself!"

Seeing Yun Qingchi shiver, Bai Yue changed the subject and spoke in a slightly coquettish tone.

"Besides, people have three urgent needs, which is a matter of course. My sister-in-law is currently troubled by the word 'urgent'. If my little cousin doesn't mind and is willing to accompany me, it would be a good choice!"

Yun Qingchi's face turned red instantly when he heard this, and when Bai Yue saw that he stopped talking, she continued to walk out of the hall.
