Quick Wear: She is the White Moonlight

As night fell, everyone in the prime minister's residence gathered together after dinner to celebrate the New Year. Since Prime Minister Lin did not have concubines, the family was simple and there was no need for ceremony. Yue Hua was sent back to her own courtyard after dinner due to health reasons.

Yue Hua noticed someone was in the room when she entered it, and ordered the servants who were guarding outside: "You can go down too. Today is the New Year and you can go and reunite with your family. You don't have to stay here with me."

Everyone naturally left after expressing their gratitude profusely.

Yue Hua held up the lantern in her hand, closed the door and walked inside, and sure enough, she saw someone standing there.

"When did Your Majesty come?" He didn't seem surprised. He sat down by himself and turned up the light on the table. The paleness on his face became more obvious, and his look was ill.

"Ji'er and I came here together. We didn't go over there to avoid disturbing anyone because we were afraid you might feel awkward." Seeing Yue Hua's tired expression, Emperor Xuan had a trace of worry between his brows. "Are you tired?"

Emperor Xuan was a little uneasy, and spoke carefully, "I noticed that you didn't look very well at the palace banquet, so I brought you some supplements and gave them to the servant next to you."

Yue Hua just stared at him without any reaction, as if everything he did was of no importance to her.

Emperor Xuan's nagging voice finally faded away and finally turned into a sigh.

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't have left the palace today. Please go back." The person who said this was extremely cold.

Yuehua's yard was very quiet, with only the sound of firecrackers and laughter coming from the front yard in the distance.

Yuebai complained to Chu Ji in a low voice: "My mother has been forcing me to look at the account books these past two days. It's so boring." After saying that, she looked towards the prime minister's wife cautiously, fearing that she would be discovered.

"What account book?" Chu Ji really didn't react. He had been following his father to handle memorials a long time ago, but account books had always been managed by officials from the Ministry of Revenue. He only needed to stamp them.

Yuebai curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "It's just the expenses of the mansion and the farm, as well as the monthly wages for the servants. Mother said that after the Chinese New Year, I will prepare for my coming of age. I have to start learning how to manage the household and become your crown princess in the future."

"If you feel bored, you can tell Madam Prime Minister that you don't have to learn these. If you become the Crown Princess in the future, you can hand it over to the housekeeper beside you, and then stamp it with your Crown Princess's golden seal." What Chu Ji is most looking forward to now is to marry Yue Bai as soon as possible.

Yuebai was just about to tell him that it was impossible and her mother would never agree that she knew nothing, when a burst of firecrackers happened to sound.

When the midnight hour came, everyone congratulated each other on the new year and went back to their homes.

Early the next morning, the door of the prime minister's residence was knocked open by a child from Baiyun Temple. When the door was opened, Wang Chen, who was dressed in Taoist robes, was seen coming to pay New Year's greetings with some gifts.

Because the young lady's admission into Baiyun Temple was a foregone conclusion, the concierge had already been instructed to invite people from Baiyun Temple in directly when they came.

But Yuebai was not the type to get up early, and she had not gotten up last night to stay up all night. So the young lady had to ask Xing'er to wake her up, saying that her senior brother had come.

Chu Ji got up early and had already practiced a set of boxing in the yard. Seeing Xing'er leaving in a hurry, he felt puzzled.

"Where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Your Highness." Xing'er quickly bowed. "The Taoist priest Wangchen from Baiyun Temple is here. Madam asked me to go and call the young lady."

Chu Ji felt jealous and didn't want that hypocritical Taoist priest to have any contact with Yue Bai, so he stopped him.

"Yuebai, I slept late last night. There's no need to call me. I'll follow you to the front." After saying that, he stretched out his long legs and walked to the front. Xing'er had to follow.

In the front hall, Prime Minister Lin went out early in the morning. His wife was politely greeting Wang Chen. She was surprised to see that Xing'er did not call Yuebai but called the prince instead.

"Xing'er asked you to ask the young lady to receive the Taoist priest, why did you invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince instead?"

"Madam, Yuebai stayed up all night yesterday and probably hasn't had enough rest. Yuebai and I have been engaged since childhood, so her senior brother is naturally my senior brother as well." Chu Ji said as he looked Wang Chen up and down with the air of a superior.

But Wang Chen still moved forward and backward in moderation, as if the person being looked at was not him, and he naturally bowed and said, "So it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Your Royal Highness, why are you coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion during the New Year if you don't accompany His Majesty to show your filial piety?"

As an experienced person, Madam Xiang did not want to get involved in the verbal battle between the younger generations, so she found an excuse and left.

Chu Ji became even more aggressive when he saw the elders leave: "It is not the Taoist priest's turn to teach me what I want to do. Instead, it is the Taoist priest who rushes here early in the morning to disturb my sweet dreams."

"Your Highness, I apologize for misunderstanding you. I have come here on a mission to give you some things you need for your apprenticeship gift, as well as some Taoist instruments."

For a moment, neither of them gave in to the other.

[Miss, wake up quickly. If you don’t go to the first two targets, a fight will start.]

Yuebai opened her eyes quickly, "Someone come and do your makeup!"

The maidservant beside her put Yuebai into a festive double-ring bun, and pinned her with a jeweled pearl hairpin. She applied balm evenly on her face and a little rouge on her cheeks. In the mirror, she saw a beautiful face full of joy.

Before going out, he picked up the white tiger that was napping nearby.

Don’t sleep anymore, get up and watch the fun.

When I was about to walk to the front hall with the cat in my arms, I heard two people arguing with each other in a sarcastic tone, neither of them giving in.

“Puchi——” Yuebai couldn’t help but laughed out loud.

Chu Ji and Wang Chen then saw Yue Bai coming. She was wearing a white plush cloak and a pair of pink embroidered shoes with the tips showing from under her skirt. You could vaguely see the oriental pearls hanging on the toes of her shoes. She was holding a white cat in her arms.

Chu Ji's face immediately turned red, but he still walked forward and hugged the white tiger, "Little tiger, you've gained some weight again. I'll hold it for you." After saying that, he glanced at Wang Chen as if in protest.

Wang Chen picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip. He ignored him and picked up the things he brought. He said calmly: "These are things you will need in the future. Master asked me to bring them to you."

"Thank you, Senior Brother. I'm sorry to bother you with the trip. I don't have anything to offer you. If you don't mind, I'll make some tea myself. I'll take some back and give some to the abbot later."

Chu Ji immediately looked at Wang Chen with some pity. Wang Chen didn't understand why, but still agreed to Yue Bai's words and went with her to get some new tea that she had made herself.

Chu Ji's eyes had turned into sympathy and admiration.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince must be very busy with affairs in the Eastern Palace, so you should return to the palace earlier." Yuebai blinked at Chu Ji, and Chu Ji understood.

"I won't stay any longer, bye!" If I stayed any longer, I would have to drink a lot of tea again today.
