Quick Wear: She is the White Moonlight

It was a time of chaos, and it was too trivial to talk about love between young men and women. When Zhou Mingxuan heard Yuebai's words, he felt a little disappointed and secretly happy at the same time.

But this complex emotion flashed by so quickly that he couldn't even catch it.

A great feeling of pride reappeared in his heart, and he patted his chest and said, "Sister, you don't need to be with anyone. I will always be your support."

Yuebai touched his forehead with the plum blossom in her hand and said with a smile: "Just live your life well and don't cause me any trouble."

After saying that, he turned and went into the house. Zhou Mingxuan felt the scent of plum blossom mixed with the scent of medicine on the woman's body, lingering between his eyebrows for a long time. He raised his hand and gently touched the center of his eyebrows.

When Yuebai turned around, they both felt a little embarrassed when looking at Zhou Mingxuan with a silly look.

Zhou Mingxuan quickened his pace and entered the house. Inside, Yuebai had placed plum blossoms in a white-bottomed, green-glazed porcelain vase. In an instant, the fragrance of plum blossoms filled the room.

Yuebai walked to the window and spread out the red paper. Zhou Mingxuan followed her and asked in confusion, "Sister, what's this?"

Yuebai stretched out her hand and began to moisten the brush. The inky wolf hair contrasted sharply with the woman's fair wrist.

"The people living down the mountain are about to celebrate the New Year, and they come up to ask for blessing characters and couplets."

Yuebai hung the pen and placed it on the pen holder, then used a ruler to spread out the red paper.

"Don't we celebrate the New Year in the mountains?"

Zhou Mingxuan asked.

"The people in the mountains... no one will come to reunite during the New Year..."

We are all orphans, and no one seems to get together during the New Year.

Sensing Yuebai's disappointment, Zhou Mingxuan comforted her: "Sister, I will spend the New Year with you."

Yuebai did not reply to him, but wrote the word "Fu" one by one. Zhou Mingxuan quietly accompanied her and helped her put away the written words.

Until a voice came from outside the door.

"Big sister, Senior Brother Qinghe has made the plum blossom cake and brought it over."

Yuebai raised his head and looked through the window. It was the junior fellow apprentice who usually followed Zhou Qinghe, trotting over with a plate of steaming plum cakes.

Then a young man in white appeared at the intersection at the corner and walked towards him. It was Zhou Qinghe.

"Senior Sister, sorry to bother you." Zhou Qinghe always looked polite and restrained.

Zhou Mingxuan was unwilling to pay attention to Zhou Qinghe. Yuebai looked at Zhou Mingxuan helplessly and invited Zhou Qinghe in.

"Brother, come in. I'm busy. Huahe will serve tea."

Zhou Qinghe sat down opposite Yuebai. When he saw what Yuebai was writing, he suddenly realized that the Chinese New Year would be next month.

After leaving Liang Palace, Zhou Qinghe seldom thought of his mother and sister. Perhaps his mother had some motherly love for him, but compared with power, that little bit of love was nothing to mention.

Zhou Qinghe seemed to be born with few relatives. He had no close relatives when he was in Liang Palace. His sister should have been the closest person to him, but he never had the intention to get close to her.

Hua He then brought a cup of tea, interrupting Zhou Qinghe's thoughts. Zhou Qinghe looked down at the tea leaves floating up and down in the white porcelain cup.

Yuebai put down his pen, rubbed his sore wrist, looked at the plum blossom cake on the side, and called to Zhou Mingxuan: "Aren't you talking about plum blossom cake? Come and try it."

The plum blossom cake was placed on a small table on the side. Huahe also set up a stove and placed other cakes and snacks on it.

Looking at the snow falling outside, Yuebai said to Huahe, "It's rare for us to be together, let's put the stove outside in Jiangxuexuan and enjoy the snow and drink tea."

Hua He responded and went down to prepare. Yue Bai took the cloak and put it on. He looked at the other cloak next to him and glanced at Zhou Qinghe, who seemed to be wearing a little thin outer clothing.

"Junior Brother Qinghe."

Zhou Qinghe looked up when she heard the voice, and met Yuebai's complicated eyes. Yuebai was holding a white cloak in her hand, which seemed to be the same as hers.

"You are wearing too little. It's cold at night so put on a cloak."

Zhou Qinghe let Yuebai tie the cloak on him. The white fur collar made the boy's features look even colder. The cloak had the same red plum blossom pattern on a white background as Yuebai's.

"This cloak is excellent, thank you, Senior Sister."

Zhou Qinghe bowed his head and thanked him. The two of them stood together with the same cloak and similar temperament, like a perfect match.

"Sister, how come I don't have it?" Zhou Mingxuan broke the somewhat ambiguous atmosphere between the two.

Yue Bai frowned and said with a smile, "This was bought by my elders in my family. They gave it to me as a thank you for taking care of my brother Qinghe."

Hearing this, Zhou Mingxuan didn't say anything else, but Zhou Qinghe rubbed the edge of the teacup with his hand.

As for whether his mother would make clothes for him, Zhou Qinghe didn't believe it at all. He had seen Madam Zhong making various things for his younger brothers since he was a child, and he had also wanted his mother to make some for him.

What did the Queen Mother say at that time? She said, "Qinghe, you are the eldest son, you can have whatever you want. These are all my little daughter's thoughts..."

Zhou Qinghe could not remember what was said afterwards. As he grew up, his mother treated him better as he began to make a name for himself. However, he just wanted to leave the suffocating Liang Palace.

Zhou Mingxuan and Yuebai had already walked to the corridor and turned back to wait for Zhou Qinghe to catch up. Zhou Qinghe took two steps to catch up with them, and walked through the corridor to Jiangxuexuan.

Hua He had already set up the small pastry oven and even warmed up a pot of wine.

Zhou Mingxuan smiled when he saw the pot of wine.

"Mr. Feng never let me drink in the past, so I prefer my sister."

"This is the amber light I brought. Junior Brother Xuan can try it. It's not intoxicating."

Hearing that it was Zhou Qinghe who brought the wine, Zhou Mingxuan stopped smiling and ignored him. However, under pressure from Yuebai, he still whispered thank you.

The three of them sat down in the Jiangxue Pavilion and enjoyed the snow and sipped tea in a leisurely manner.

"Did I see senior sister writing the word 'Fu' just now?" Zhou Qinghe asked after taking a sip of tea.

"As the New Year approaches, villagers from the mountain will come to pray for blessings." Yuebai nodded, "They probably want to be auspicious. After all, there is really no force that would attack Taoli Academy. Over time, our area has become a paradise."

Zhou Mingxuan seemed to be thinking about something, and Zhou Qinghe sighed: "When prosperity comes, the people suffer; when decline comes, the people suffer. It is just like this."

"Junior brother is also a member of the royal family, and he has a kind heart." Yuebai handed a piece of plum cake to Zhou Mingxuan, but spoke to Zhou Qinghe.

Zhou Qinghe smiled bitterly: "I don't want to be born into the royal family, but birth is not something I can choose..."

Zhou Mingxuan took the plum blossom cake from Yuebai. Seeing his appearance, he glanced at Yuebai and said, "I have no father or mother since I was a child. I only have my elder sister. Fortunately, my elder sister is very good to me."

"Since you were born into a royal family and have a kind heart, why don't you change the world?" Zhou Mingxuan continued, "It's difficult for ordinary people to change the world, but it's possible for you to do it."

Yuebai and Zhou Qinghe looked at Zhou Mingxuan in surprise, as if they couldn't believe what he said.

"Sister, why are you looking at me like that?" He shook the amber light in the cup and continued, "Although I am not as well-versed in studying under the Palace Master as Sister, Mr. Feng is also one of the best contemporary scholars."

Zhou Qinghe heard this and said in a serious tone: "I didn't expect Junior Brother Xuan to have such ambitions. If there is a chance in the future, would you be willing to come out and help Senior Brother?"

When Zhou Mingxuan heard this, he choked on his wine and suddenly started coughing violently.

“Ahem… That’s not necessary… Ahem… Wherever Sister is, I’ll be there. We won’t go down the mountain.”

Yuebai patted Zhou Mingxuan on the back to help him calm down. Zhou Qinghe looked at Yuebai as if he wanted an answer from her.

"The secluded academy provides a safe place for those young children in troubled times. Junior brother, if I become your advisor, other marquisates will not let go of the academy."

Yuebai filled the warmed amber glasses for both of them, then raised her own cup and said to Zhou Qinghe, "Senior sister is also looking forward to Junior brother unifying the world."

Zhou Mingxuan also picked up his wine and echoed, "I look forward to Senior Brother Qinghe's reign, but please don't bother me and my sister."

Zhou Qinghe drank the glass of wine with a smile, and everything was said without words.

The three of them drank some wine. Although Amber Light was not intoxicating, Zhou Qinghe and Zhou Mingxuan were young and felt a little dizzy, so they ended the drinking and said goodbye.

Zhou Mingxuan was the first to leave. After seeing Zhou Mingxuan off, Zhou Qinghe also planned to say goodbye, but he sent Yuebai back first.

Just as Yuebai entered the yard, Zhou Qinghe called her.

"Sister..."
