Quick Wear: She is the White Moonlight
Chapter 11 2 Emperor Bai Yueguang ()
"Okay, as you wish, I will attend Lin Yuebai's coming-of-age ceremony and personally set the date for your wedding."
Emperor Xuan personally promised to set a date for the wedding, and after knowing that he would be able to see Yuebai after he recovered from his illness, Chu Ji lay down peacefully and relaxed. Suddenly he felt dizzy and a little unsteady. Xiao Fuzi beside him quickly helped him to the edge of the bed.
"Your Highness, go easy, lie down."
In the next few days, Chu Ji took good care of his health.
Ever since Yuebai knew that target number two was also in the mansion, he began to inquire about where the target number two was located. Finally, Xing'er found out that the young lady's savior lived in the guest room, and hurried back to tell Yuebai.
"Miss, the Taoist priest is young, but he looks old."
"Haha! What kind of metaphor are you using to describe my good Xing'er?" Yuebai had naturally seen Wangchen before, and he had a very detached and immortal appearance, and Xing'er could describe him.
Xing'er is afraid that the young lady will fall in love with someone else because of the Taoist priest's life-saving grace, so the couple she has been supporting since childhood must be together!
"Miss, you are not well yet, so don't think about these things. The kitchen has stewed blood swallows this afternoon, and I will go get them for you right away." The Prime Minister and his wife didn't want the young lady to go to the mountain, so they told their subordinates not to take the young lady to see the Taoist priest.
"No need for now," Yuebai knew what she was planning, and naturally heard about her parents' arrangement from Baihu, "I'm free now, so I'll go see my brother. I haven't left my room for a few days, and I've become thinner from lying down."
Seeing that Yuebai looked really sick and depressed, Xing'er thought it would be a good idea to go out for a walk.
"How can that be possible, young lady! But you are ill and your complexion is not good, young lady just needs to take more nourishment." Xing'er answered, holding a cloak in her hand, "Young lady, put it on."
"Don't worry. Since you said I don't look good, come and put some makeup on me to make me look better. It will make my brother happy too." Yuebai sat down in front of the dressing table and picked up the rouge.
Xing'er thought about it and it made sense. The young master would inevitably be worried when he saw that the young lady was sick. She walked forward to put makeup on Yuebai, but she started to worry when she got the makeup in her hands. The young lady was naturally beautiful, and her two curved eyebrows were very distinctive, so she didn't need to draw them. If she put extra makeup on her face, it would only look artificial. It would be best if she just put some rouge on her cheeks to make her look more healthy, and then put on some lipstick to cover up the pale lips.
After everything was taken care of, Xing'er helped Yuebai out of the door. It happened to be a sunny day after the snow had stopped, and the sun shone on them. Yuebai's depression from not going out for many days was swept away, and she leisurely enjoyed the scenery along the way. To go from her yard to Yuehua's yard, they had to pass by a bamboo forest, and the white snow and green bamboo were very beautiful.
"Xing'er, go back later and get a jar to collect the snow on the bamboo leaves. I'll use it to make tea."
"Yes!"
As they were talking, they had already reached the gate of Yuehua's courtyard. Before they entered, they heard two men's voices. One was gentle and a little weak, and he was the young master. The other one was clear and cold, and sounded familiar.
Before Xing'er could figure out who he was, she ran into the Taoist priest when she entered the room.
Wang Chen sensed someone coming, and when he looked up, he met Yuebai's curious gaze. The girl came with the light of heaven, like a flying butterfly spreading its wings to take off, light and playful, with her rosy face and cute appearance.
"I didn't know you had guests. Sorry for being rude." Yuebai knelt down to greet him. Her ladylike appearance lacked the spirit she had just now. Wangchen also stood up and bowed in return.
"I'm Wang Chen, nice to meet you, Miss Lin." They had obviously known each other before, but they still greeted each other like strangers. Wang Chen felt a little bitter in his heart. For Yue Bai, it was their second meeting, but for him, he had been silently guarding her for many years.
"Wang Chen? I remember you! Do you still remember me? Taoist brother!"
There were smiles in Wang Chen's eyes. Of course he remembered the girl who only knew how to cry, and she still loved to cry.
"Ahem! Yuebai, don't be rude! This person is your savior and also your brother's good friend." It was Yuehua who asked Baihu to deliver the message and asked Yuebai to come over.
Of course, Wang Chen also intended to see if he could meet Yue Bai through Yue Hua. He discovered after staying in the mansion for a few days that the Prime Minister intended to leave the difficult issue of going up the mountain to practice to the emperor to decide, and would not let him meet Yue Bai.
Therefore, he had to go through Yue Hua. Initially, he just wanted to get to know Yue Hua under the name of discussing Taoism, but after spending a few days together, he found that Yue Hua was really talented. Unfortunately, she died young. He became more determined to take Yue Bai to the mountain to escape from the world. When he looked at Yue Hua again, his eyes revealed determination and confidence, as if they could penetrate all obstacles.
"Young lady and I are old acquaintances, and master and Miss Yuebai have a master-disciple relationship. From now on, when we go up the mountain, Miss Yuebai will be my junior sister. There is no need to be polite between fellow disciples." Wang Chen's eyes revealed warmth and tenderness, as if they were already senior and junior brothers and sisters from the same sect.
"What junior sister?"
"Yuebai, I didn't intend to let you know about this so soon... because your parents can't make the decision on this matter. Originally, you and the Crown Prince were going to get married after you came of age next year, but Jingxuzi calculated that you have a peculiar fate. It's best for you to stay away from the world in the next few years, otherwise you will die young. As your brother and parents, your life is naturally the most important." Yuehua took a breath and continued, "But after all, you are the Crown Princess, and some things need to be discussed with the palace before we can make plans."
"Then my marriage with Brother Ji..."
Brother Ji called her so affectionately. Wang Chen's mouth corners, which had not been smoothed down since he met Yue Bai, finally smoothed down, and he felt a little sad.
"That's why I'll take you to the palace in two days. However, the crown prince is currently recovering from his injuries after being assassinated. I guess we'll have to wait until he recovers before he can enter the palace... ahem..."
"Brother..." Yuebai helped Yuehua calm down and handed him a cup of ginseng tea. "Brother must be tired after discussing Taoism with the Taoist today, so I won't disturb you."
"I will take my leave now, young master, please go to bed early."
Yue Hua waved her hand to indicate that she understood.
The two of them walked out of the yard together and came to the bamboo forest. Yuebai remembered collecting snow water to make tea, so he sent Xing'er back to get the jar.
Wang Chen did not leave, but stood aside and looked at her. Finally, Yue Bai could not help but ask, "Master, is there something you want to tell me?"
Wang Chen actually didn’t. He just wanted to watch her quietly and accompany her, just like he had done countless times when Yue Bai didn’t know.
"There is something that the lady dropped a long time ago, and I'd like to take this opportunity to return it to Miss Lin." After saying that, he took out a faded goose yellow purse. The purse was a bit old, and it was hard to tell what pattern was originally embroidered on it.
"But I don't have such a purse." Yuebai took the purse and took a look at it, then returned it to Wangchen, "Master, maybe you remembered it wrongly."
The girl in front of him was clearly smiling, but Wang Chen felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. She didn't remember. Maybe to Yuebai, this purse was not that important, just like him. His slender fingers tightly grasped the purse, and the knuckles of his hand turned white due to the force, but his face remained indifferent.
Wang Chen took back his purse and said indifferently: "Maybe I remembered it wrong."
He has had a photographic memory since he was young and never makes mistakes.
"I do good deeds every day when I go down the mountain. I have saved many people. Maybe I got confused."
Every time he went down the mountain after he was twelve years old, it was for her, and the first thing he would do was to secretly take a look at her.
"In this case, I hope that the Taoist priest can find the owner of the purse as soon as possible."
"it is good."
This purse will never have an owner again because its owner doesn't want it anymore.
Xing'er just happened to bring the jar at this time, and Yuebai started to work in the bamboo forest with the jar.
After a few more days, Yuebai's injuries were completely healed, Madam Xiang no longer oppressed her, and Wangchen had already told her about practicing cultivation, which Yuebai herself was willing to do. The two of them were getting along like fellow disciples.
Finally, in such an atmosphere, someone came from the palace and said that the Taoist priest from Baiyun Temple and the prime minister's daughter should also enter the palace.
The carriage stopped at the palace gate, and Yuebai and his party met Emperor Xuan and the Crown Prince, who had just recovered from an illness, in the Xuande Hall.
"Lord Lin has already reported this matter to me. I have no objection. I just want to ask the two children if they mind."
Chu Ji's eyes drifted towards Yue Bai. He didn't want to do it when he first heard the news, but he was too concerned to believe it, so he would rather believe it than not. He didn't dare to gamble.
"Yuebai, do you want to go?" Chu Ji was reluctant but still decided to listen to Yuebai.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I am willing to practice for a few years to pray for your Majesty and Your Highness." Yuebai bowed respectfully, "During this time together, I feel that Taoist Wangchen's Taoism is unparalleled, and I also yearn for it."
At this time, Wang Chen stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Master said that it will only take three years at most."
"Then you can go and become my disciple after the New Year!" Emperor Xuan made the final decision. "Withdraw!"
The group had just left the Xuan Zheng Hall. Yue Bai was about to leave the palace with Wang Chen, but Chu Ji grabbed her hand. She turned around with a puzzled look and inquiring eyes.
"Yuebai, I haven't seen you for a long time. It's rare for you to come to the palace. Please accompany me to the Imperial Garden before going back." After saying that, he did not forget to instruct Xiao Fuzi beside him, "You personally take the young lady's family and senior brother out of the palace."
After giving the order, Chu Ji glanced at Wang Chen with hostility and a hint of contempt in his eyes. He knew at a glance what this so-called senior brother was thinking.
"Okay, Brother Ji." Yuebai naturally agreed.
After watching Prime Minister Lin leave the palace with Chu Ji, Chu Ji took her hand and went straight to the Imperial Garden.
Chu Ji just wanted to keep Yuebai for a while, but he didn't expect that there were not many flowers to see in the Imperial Garden in winter, and he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly came from a corner. It should be the little palace maid playing over there. Chu Ji was feeling embarrassed and naturally took his anger out on others.
"Go see who's making the noise over there."
The young eunuch beside him took the order and came out with three young palace maids soon.
These little palace maids were supposed to be the ones delivering flowers and plants to the private garden. They probably finished their work today and took a break here. After all, no nobles would come to the imperial garden in winter. Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly had the urge to run into them playing here.
There was a timid palace maid who looked younger than Yuebai. She had already started crying softly, holding a feather shuttlecock in her hand, which caught Yuebai's attention.
"What is this?" Yuebai asked curiously.
Yes, Yuebai has been famous since she was a child, and she is engaged to the Crown Prince. The noble ladies in the capital hardly play with her, and the Prime Minister's Mansion also doesn't allow her to go out because she got lost when she was a child. Naturally, she would not play this kind of game.
"Your Excellency, this is the shuttlecock I made myself. We were playing with it just now." A slightly older palace maid answered bravely.
"How do you play?" Seeing Yuebai was interested, Chu Ji asked, "Show me how."
The palace maid looked at the other person's expression and realized that she probably wouldn't be punished today, so she bravely raised the matter.
They even let Yuebai try, but Yuebai didn't seem to have any talent, so she could only return the shuttlecock to them and let the three of them kick it for her to see, so that she could be happy.
The winter sun was faint, and when it shone through the clouds, only a thin layer of golden light remained. The girl in the scarlet jacket and skirt was shrouded in this layer of light, and she looked at the palace maids who had completed a group with a smile. From time to time, she smiled and lowered her head to talk to Chu Ji about her own opinions.
The years are quiet and good, just like that.
"Brother Ji! What are you staring at me for again?"
"Hey! Hey! Nothing!" Chu Ji's ears turned red again.
"I said I'm tired. Can I go to your East Palace to have some tea and rest?" Boss Yuebai said with an unhappy face.
"Okay, okay, okay! I'll ask them to go back and prepare first. We'll walk back slowly and we can eat when we get there." After saying that, he immediately turned around and told Xiao Fuzi to go back and prepare quickly. He also reminded her, "You know the young lady's daily taste. Tell the small kitchen more. If it's good, there will be a reward."
"My Highness, the kitchen also knows the young lady's preferences. Your Highness does not care about food on weekdays, and the kitchen may not be used many times throughout the year. The kitchen is always prepared for the young lady. The cooks have already noted down the young lady's preferences, so you don't have to worry!" After saying that, he ran away.
"Let's go!" Chu Ji reached out to hold Yuebai's hand.
Yuebai obediently placed her hand in his palm and smiled sweetly, her eyes full of trust and dependence, which made Chu Ji's heart burn.
The two of them walked hand in hand on the gravel road in the Imperial Garden. Their shadows were stretched out side by side. They walked hand in hand through the palace walls and arrived at the East Palace.
Chu Ji felt as if they had been walking for a very long time. Feeling the soft touch of the person he loved in his hands, his heart softened, but he became more and more reluctant to let her go to the mountains to practice.
Yuebai obediently let him hold her hand. Chu Ji's palms did not look like those of a pampered prince at all. Instead, there were a lot of calluses on them, which were left over from sword practice. She knew that getting lost when he was a child was always Chu Ji's nightmare, so as soon as he returned to the palace, he found a martial arts master to start practicing sword. Over the years, thick calluses were left on his hands.
"Brother Ji, although you are already well, let's ask the imperial physician to come and check on you later so I can feel more at ease."
Chu Ji naturally obeyed the request made by his sweetheart, and ordered the imperial physician to be summoned as soon as he entered the East Palace.
He even specifically reminded Chen Yuanshou.
