Quick Wear: She is the White Moonlight

Before they knew it, it was time to go out as agreed upon. Chu Ji and Yue Bai finally left the Prime Minister's Mansion and headed for the market.

The gorgeous rosewood carriage stopped in front of the largest theater in the capital. Chu Ji had already reserved a private seat on the second floor. As soon as the group got off the carriage, they were spotted by the sharp-eyed and sharp-eared waiter at the door.

The waiter quickly ran over to Chu Ji, bowed and greeted him with a smile, "Do you have any reservations for this place?"

Chu Ji signaled Xiao Fuzi with his eyes, and Xiao Fuzi understood and immediately stepped forward to show the waiter the jade card for reserving the private room. After checking the jade card and confirming that it was correct, the man immediately greeted the person with a smile.

"Sir, this is your seat. Tea and snacks will be served to you right away. Please tell me if you need anything." He also took out a play script from behind and put it on the table: "Sir, this is the play to be performed today."

Chu Ji said he understood, and the young man left.

Yuebai asked in confusion: "Didn't you say you were going to see the flowers? Why did you take me to see a play?"

"I've already found out that the lantern parade outside hasn't started yet. Let's wait for a while until the vendors selling lanterns and the riddle guessing stalls come out before going for a look." Chu Ji gently waved his folding fan. Because he was not yet twenty, his long hair was not completely upright. He just tied half of his hair into a ponytail with a silver crown, and the back of his hair was let down, looking unrestrained and youthful.

Yuebai nodded and watched the show attentively. The seat they chose had an excellent view. It was in the middle of the second floor, facing the big stage on the first floor. At this moment, the stage was playing "A Talented Scholar and a Beautiful Woman Travel Together". Seeing that Yuebai began to concentrate on the show, Chu Ji moved his seat towards Yuebai unnoticeably. The two of them were facing the stage. They were sitting on the same side of the table, within earshot of each other and could whisper to each other by tilting their heads.

Yuebai was concentrating on watching the drama of the talented scholar and the beautiful lady, discussing it with Chu Ji from time to time, and Chu Ji's eyes were always on Yuebai. When Yuebai was at home, they could see each other every month, but then she went to the mountains and they haven't seen each other for half a year. Originally, they were going to set the wedding date at the end of this year, but now there seems to be a change.

Emperor Xuan had been mobilizing troops frequently recently. Chu Ji had been made the crown prince since he was young, and Emperor Xuan had not concealed the goings on in the court from him.

Yue Bai noticed that Chu Ji was a little worried, and thought that he was bored with the opera, so she gently tugged at the corner of his clothes and whispered, "Brother Ji, is everything ready outside? Let's go out."

"Okay." Chu Ji stood up and helped Yue Bai to leave. However, more and more people came in to listen to the opera at this time. Fortunately, the guards Chu Ji brought with him were enough to protect them when they left the house.

Yuebai seldom saw such a lively scene, she followed Chu Ji obediently. Chu Ji held Yuebai's hand contentedly and kept her in front of him to prevent others from bumping into Yuebai.

The sky gradually darkened, and the large and small lantern stalls in the market were gradually crowded with people. There were couples walking around, each carrying a lantern, and children chasing and playing around, and all kinds of hawking sounds were heard one after another.

Chu Ji accompanied Yuebai to choose the lanterns they liked from among various lanterns. Finally, Yuebai chose a light yellow rabbit lantern.

Seeing the well-dressed young couple pick out the lanterns, the shopkeeper immediately flattered them, "Your wife has a good eye. This is the last rabbit lantern. If it's sold out today, we won't be able to make more."

Yuebai was about to explain that they were not married.

Chu Ji took the lead and threw down the silver coins and said, "I bought it!"

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. You and your wife are a match made in heaven."

Chu Ji's ears turned red as he pulled Yue Bai away from the stall, but the two did not let go of each other's hands. In the crowd, they were wearing very similar purple clothes. The boy and the girl held each other's fingers tightly. The girl in purple was holding a rabbit lantern in her hand. They walked through the lantern market hand in hand. The boy would lower his head from time to time to ask the girl a question or two. The girl either shook her head or nodded, with a sweet look on her face.

Wang Chen also saw them, but he was not wearing a Taoist robe today. Instead, he changed into a dark casual suit and wore a mask. Since it was Girls' Day and many people wore masks, he did not attract much attention.

Wang Chen was on the painted boat, looking at a couple in purple clothes on the river bank. He had been locked up in the temple by his master and aunt for a few days, and suddenly he was brought to this painting studio today. Then he saw Chu Ji and Yue Bai touring the lantern festival together.

Looking at the well-matched couple opposite him, his heart felt as if it was being pricked by silver needles, and the pain was getting more and more severe. Shu Shen happened to appear beside Wang Chen at this time.

"Look, you haven't sent a message to your junior sister for several days, but she doesn't care. In her heart, you are not as important as her fiancé. What do you think? If you agree to join us in the rebellion now, and if we take over the world, you can make Lin Yuebai your queen?" Shu Shen bewitched Wang Chen like a ghost.

"Oh! What are you dreaming about?" Wang Chen sneered, "You think everyone is like you. My father took pity on you because you were alone and helpless, so he recognized you as his sister and gave you the dignity of a princess. I didn't expect you to be such a heartless person..."

"I am a cruel person? Well, now that you've said that, I'll let you know what a truly cruel person is!" After saying that, Shu Shen took out a pill.

Wang Chen was about to struggle but found that his hands and feet were already weak and he had no strength left. He stared at Shu Shen viciously and said, "You plotted against me!"

Shu Shen nonchalantly signaled the people around him to tie him up: "My dear nephew, what are you surprised about?" After that, he gave him the pill with some water.

Before leaving, Shu Shen left Wang Chen with one sentence: "Enjoy the experience of my dear nephew."

After taking the medicine, Wang Chen felt severe pain all over his body. He could still bear it at first, but slowly he felt his meridians begin to hurt. However, because he was ambushed and drugged, his limbs had no strength and he could only lie on the ground twitching. His handsome features were all covered in sweat. Finally, his vision became blurred due to the pain. He could only see a pair of purple-clothed men and women on the other side of the river from a distance. They seemed to have come to the river together to release river lanterns. Wang Chen finally couldn't help but his consciousness fell into darkness.

Because Yuebai wanted to release river lanterns on a whim, Chu Ji had to accompany her. The vendor handed the river lanterns and red paper to the two of them and told them, "Write down your blessings and wishes on the red paper, then light the lanterns and put them in the river."

Chu Ji picked up the pen but only wrote down the three words "Lin Yuebai". Yuebai didn't know what to write, and happened to see that he wrote his own name, so he asked curiously: "The store owner asked you to write blessings and wishes, why did you write about me?"

Chu Ji ignored her and lit up the river lantern. He looked at it and said proudly, "This is the lantern I bought. I can write whatever I want."

Yuebai pouted and finally wrote two words "Chu Ji" on her river lantern.
