Quick Wear: She is the White Moonlight

Chapter 3 2 Emperor Bai Yueguang (2)

Madam Xiang teased Yuebai for a while. The little baby had limited energy and was already a little confused. Since she was here, she might as well make the best of it. She didn't know where her brother was, so she would probably see him soon. Yuebai simply closed her eyes and fell asleep.

When she opened her eyes again, what caught her eye was her brother's familiar face. Yuebai looked around and found an unfamiliar middle-aged man. He had an extraordinary demeanor but a loving look in his eyes when he looked at her. He was probably her father in this world. She looked at her brother and then at her wife. She should not be with her mother at the moment.

Prime Minister Lin looked at his little daughter and his heart softened. Originally, since he already had Yue Hua as his heir, he did not plan to let his second wife have children. However, the imperial physician in the palace had also told him about Yue Hua's health and was afraid that she was not very healthy. When his second wife was pregnant, he also talked to his son about it, and his son did not mind. It's not that he was cruel. He had experienced a lot from a small family to the prime minister, so he naturally knew the horrors of the harem, so he didn't want his children and wife to be like this. But when his son was happy to see it and even looked forward to his younger brothers and sisters, he was completely relieved.

After waking up, the daughter did not cry or make a fuss. She stared at them with her watery eyes. She was obviously smart. "I heard that the palace is moving your engagement with the Li family to Yuebai and the prince?" It was a pity that his daughter was still young and was being targeted. Minister Lin was inevitably a little angry. They were calculating and scheming, but they only used their strength on their children. He never cared to be associated with them.

"It was the Empress's intention. After all, the Li and Lin families have fulfilled their promise. Moreover, her son has been appointed as the Prince's tutor. He will definitely teach his sister to be a good son." After Yue Hua finished speaking, Prime Minister Lin looked at him in surprise. For such a young prince, it would take time to teach him and wait until he enters school.

He didn't say much. He turned around and patted Yue Hua's shoulder. His gaze turned to his daughter in the cradle, and he was thinking about what things in the warehouse could be used by his daughter.

When Yuebai heard about the suspected target, she was about to protest to her brother about his child's body, but she forgot about it for a moment until Yuehua picked her up and started talking to Prime Minister Lin about what happened in the court.

Looking at his son holding his daughter, Lin Xiang realized that his son didn't seem to be very old. It was just that his family had risen from humble beginnings and their son had matured much earlier. This time he must give his daughter a complete childhood. Yuebai, nestling in her brother's arms, didn't know that her father had already thought a lot about it. She only babbled along with what they said and punched and kicked in her brother's arms to express her dissatisfaction.

In a blink of an eye, it was Madam Xiang's day of confinement and Yuebai's full moon celebration. In a month, Yuebai had grown even more lovely. When Madam Xiang carried her out, she won praise from many aunts.

"Oh my! This is the daughter of the Prime Minister. She is so pretty and lively. I have seen many girls, but this is the first time I have seen such a pretty girl!"

"Yes! Yes! This eldest young master is undoubtedly the best young master in the capital. The ladies are eager to see him go out. When the young lady grows up, she will probably be more popular with the young masters in the capital than her brother."

Hearing these compliments, the prime minister's wife just smiled, acting very generous and decent. Yuebai was born in winter and a month later the snow gradually melted. The prime minister's wife was worried that she would catch a cold, so she took the baby out, looked around, and then asked someone to report to the front yard to show it to the men in the front yard. She also specifically asked them to bring the baby back early. Before she finished giving the instructions, there was a commotion at the door. The prime minister looked up and found that it was her eldest son who came.

"Hual, why are you here? What does the Prime Minister want to tell you?" The Prime Minister's wife stood up and was about to go over. Yue Hua bowed and said, "Mother, my father asked me to take my sister to the front yard in person." As soon as these words came out, there was another round of envy in the backyard. They all said that the Prime Minister's wife was lucky. There had been no good news for seven or eight years. Everyone thought that the Prime Minister didn't let her have her own child because he had an eldest son. As a result, she gave birth to a daughter. There were even rumors that the late queen had already arranged her daughter for the prince. The eldest son didn't seem to have any objections and was very respectful to his stepmother. Didn't you see that he didn't seem to be reluctant to call her mother just now, and he was even more caring towards his sister.

Madam Xiang didn't expect that he would come in person, but she was very happy. She personally picked up Yuebai and handed her to Yuehua, and said, "The Prime Minister must want to see Yuebai too. Hua'er, go ahead. But it's cold out, so bring her back early to avoid catching a cold."

Yue Hua nodded, and carried Yue Bai through the hanging flower gate to the front yard. Minister Lin looked at his eldest son holding his daughter and thought that his son would be able to hold the child easily in such a small group. Naturally, Yue Bai received gifts and praises when she arrived at the front hall. Just when she was about to take her back, a sharp "The imperial edict has arrived--" broke the happy atmosphere.

Everyone speculated that the news was true and that His Majesty had followed the late Queen's wishes and chosen this young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Prime Minister Lin immediately asked someone to notify the Prime Minister's wife to come to the front yard to receive the order. Fortunately, the servant ran away and soon the Prime Minister's wife also came to the front yard and knelt down to receive the order.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: I have heard that Lin Yuebai, daughter of Prime Minister Lin, has a noble destiny and outstanding appearance. The late Empress and I are very pleased to hear this. Now the Crown Prince was born on the same day as Lin's daughter. This is destiny, and you and the Crown Prince are made for each other. In order to make you a beautiful woman, I hereby betroth you to the Crown Prince as the Crown Princess, and you will be married after you reach the age of marriage. I decree -"

Although everyone present had been prepared, they still didn't expect that our Majesty would really directly choose the daughter of Prime Minister Lin for the Crown Prince. Yue Hua saw that her parents were a little stunned and reached out to receive the decree. Although this was not in accordance with etiquette, as the emperor's close servants, they naturally knew that this young man was the one that the Majesty loved the most. He didn't need a token to enter and leave the palace, so of course they would not offend him. Seeing that, she even smiled and said, "Young Master, the decree has been delivered. I wanted to stay and share the joy of the future Crown Princess, but the Majesty is still waiting for me to go back and report whether the matter has been completed, so I will not stay any longer."

Yue Hua took out a bag of silver and stuffed it in. "Thank you for your hard work, eunuch. This little gift is for you to drink tea."

After the people in the palace left, everyone congratulated them again. The atmosphere became more lively than before. It continued until the last guest left. The Prime Minister's wife's face finally fell. "Prime Minister, my Yuebai..."

Prime Minister Lin waved his hand to interrupt her and looked at the sleeping Yuebai. His wife followed his gaze and saw that her daughter was sleeping soundly without any worries. She didn't want to let her daughter go inside the palace walls. She probably only had this precious child in her life, so how could she bear to leave him? Then she saw the Prime Minister leaving the ear room and gave her a look before leaving, asking her to follow him.

Madam Xiang followed Prime Minister Lin out of the house and entered the study room. She rarely opened the study room, but she saw Yue Hua had already prepared teacups for them. Yue Hua seemed to know what Madam Xiang was worried about, so she said directly: "Mother, don't worry. I am now the Prince's tutor. If the Prince treats you badly in the future, I will be the first to disagree. Besides, if you don't like the Prince in the future, my father and I will definitely ask His Majesty for permission to marry yourself." Because Yue Bai will definitely like the Prince. Of course, he didn't say the last sentence.

The Prime Minister's wife looked at Prime Minister Lin and then at Yue Hua, "I know, but ever since I entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, I have been taking care of the household chores and treating Hua'er as my own daughter. I just hope that these two children can be happy. In my heart, the Prime Minister's Mansion is not as important as my children." When Yue Bai was not around, she loved Yue Hua and treated her as her own daughter. Watching the calm and steady young man from the Prime Minister's Mansion who lost his mother at the age of ten grow up, she was proud to hear others praise Yue Hua as the number one young man, but the Prime Minister's wife also knew the sadness behind it. She really didn't want her daughter to live a hard life like that.
