Quick Wear: She is the White Moonlight

Although an imperial decree had been issued, since the two people who were granted marriage were still young, no one asked many questions. Time passed slowly, and finally Yuebai grew from a delicate white jade ball to seven or eight years old.

The rocking chair in the pavilion in the backyard was creaking and rocking, with seven or eight maids surrounding it, some fanning it and some reading storybooks. It was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the wind brought bursts of sweet osmanthus fragrance. The girl in the rocking chair reached out to stroke the cat in her arms, then stuffed a piece of osmanthus cake into her mouth, squinting her eyes with a satisfied look. Her adorable appearance stunned the maids who were serving her closely.

"Miss, please don't be greedy. The Prime Minister and the Young Master will come back and have dinner. If you can't eat a full meal, your Madam will nag you again." Xing'er had no choice but to remind her. Her young lady was young and greedy, but her Madam didn't allow her to eat too much.

"I know, I know, Sister Xing'er!" Yuebai stood up and carried Mao'er to her mother's main courtyard. "I don't know if Dad and brother brought me some candied haws." She said these greedy words, but because of her young age, she had a spirit and vitality. You could tell at a glance that she would be extremely graceful when she grows up.

Yuebai walked through the pavilion corridor, thinking that she was already seven or eight years old, why her brother hadn't asked her to start making a strategy yet. Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly bumped into another boy of seven or eight years old at the corner, and Baihu's reminder suddenly rang in her mind, "Miss, she is the child of luck."

What he thought really happened. Yuebai immediately adjusted his posture, stood up, and looked at his palm which was rubbed red from falling on the ground.

"Who are you?" The little girl with double spiral bun tilted her head and looked at the person who came. She was wearing a goose yellow dress with pink butterflies embroidered on the hem and a pearl belt around her waist. Her pink face still had a childish naivety. Her pair of bright black eyes were slightly filled with tears because of the pain, and they were like clear springs. Chu Ji had never come into contact with such a big girl in the palace, and he was a little dazed when he looked at Yuebai.

Fortunately, the embarrassment did not last long. His teacher Yue Hua came to the rescue. "Sister, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He has been studying in the mansion these past few days. Why don't you pay your respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Ahem..."

Chu Ji and Yue Bai both looked at Yue Hua. Yue Bai reacted and knelt down to salute, "Hello, Your Highness." The trembling butterflies on the double spiral buns fluttered their wings as they moved. Chu Ji felt that his sister in front of him was much more interesting than the masked people in the palace. At least she was alive. He was named the crown prince since he was a child. In the eyes of others, he was in great glory, but he knew that his father did not like him. The nanny left by his mother only took care of his food and daily life. He often wondered if he could live better if his mother was still alive. But he was always precocious. Over the years, he discovered from his father's attitude that his father and his mother actually had no feelings for each other. His father had many concubines, but he rarely set foot in the harem. People outside always said that his father was missing the former queen, but he knew that was not the case. The only person who treated him closest to him in the palace was his teacher, but his teacher's health had been getting worse in recent years.

After Yue Bai finished walking, she quickly held up Yue Hua's hand and said, "Brother, have you taken your medicine today? It's autumn now so you have to wear more clothes when you go to court." She gave her brother a few words of advice like a little adult, then turned around and said to Chu Ji, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I didn't mean it." Because they were young, these words sounded like a quarrel between children.

Chu Ji naturally didn't care. He put on a stern face and imitated the prince's dignity that his teacher taught him every day: "Sister, you don't have to be like this. I see that I am a few years older than you, so you can call me Prince Brother."

"Hahaha, no, you were born on the same day. When my sister was one month old..."

"Sir, Madam is already waiting in the main courtyard for you to bring Miss over for lunch." The maid interrupted Yue Hua from talking about the engagement.

Yue Hua stopped talking and took the two little kids to the main courtyard. Along the way, Chu Ji frequently looked at Yue Bai beside him, but every time Yue Bai looked back, he turned his head away. Yue Hua noticed their actions and did not interfere.

After being admitted to the hospital, although the Prime Minister's wife was surprised that Yue Hua brought the Crown Prince to the house, she was not at a loss. She only ordered the kitchen to add some food that children liked. Yue Bai was very happy. Mr. Xin did not allow her to eat sweet dishes, but children always like something sweet. Today, thanks to the Crown Prince, she ate an extra portion of cherry meat.

After the meal, Yue Hua used the excuse of feeling unwell and needing to rest, and asked Yue Bai to take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to familiarize himself with the environment of the mansion. Yue Bai knew that it was her brother who made it convenient for her, so she took His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's hand and said, "Let's go, Brother Crown Prince, let's go play."

Although they were going out for fun, Yuebai still took Chu Ji to familiarize himself with the front and back yards of the prime minister's mansion. Finally, they sat in the pavilion and chatted idly.

"Is it fun in the palace, brother Crown Prince? Isn't it much bigger than the Prime Minister's residence? I really envy you for being able to go out. I have never been out of the house since I was a child. My mother always says I am still young." He held his chin and looked up at the wall over there, his eyes full of desire for freedom. "My brother would occasionally bring me some food from outside after leaving the court. Have you eaten it, brother Crown Prince?"

Chu Ji lowered his head because he had never eaten it before. No one would care what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to eat. He had also never been out of the palace. This was the first time. Seeing him silent, Yue Bai seemed to understand something?

"Brother Prince, wait for me here." After saying that, he ran out holding up his skirt.

Chu Ji didn't know where she was going. Yue Bai was gone not long ago. When she came back, she was holding an oil-paper bag in her hand. When she saw him, she shook the thing in her hand. Her beautiful eyes were dotted with stars. Because she ran over, her originally rosy face looked even more dazzling with a layer of peach blossoms.

Yuebai opened the oil paper package to reveal the sugar inside, and handed him a piece. "This is the candy my brother brought from outside. I have been keeping it and never let mother find out. Now I am sharing it with you, prince brother. Don't be sad after eating the candy, and you can come to play with me often in the future."

Chu Ji later looked back on his life and wondered when he began to fall in love. He couldn't tell if it was the first glimpse of her, or the sugar Yi that was handed to him in the pavilion, or the little girl comforting him not to be sad and saying that she would accompany him. Although he was only 8 years old, he knew that people's hearts were treacherous. Even though he was the only crown prince in the palace, he didn't have the emperor's favor, so the palace people didn't pay so much attention to him. And because he was the crown prince, his father's concubines would occasionally attack him...

"Don't you like candy, Prince?" Yue Bai asked again when she saw Chu Ji didn't take the candy. Chu Ji then reached out to take the candy, but didn't eat it and put it in his purse.

Seeing Yue Bai's puzzled expression, Chu Ji explained, "I want to save it for when I return to the palace." Yue Bai smiled slyly, "If you like it, I'll give you this bag. I'll buy more for me later." Then she put the whole bag in Chu Ji's hand. But thinking that she would not have any candy for a while, Yue Bai rolled her eyes and came up with an idea.

"Brother Crown Prince, you have never left the palace, and I have never left the house either. Why don't we go out and have some fun together?"
