Quick Wear: She is the White Moonlight

Time flies, and after a few years, Yuebai has grown into a graceful young lady. Chu Ji also keeps his promise and goes to the Prime Minister's Mansion once a month. After several years of companionship, their relationship has become more stable. Everyone in the capital knows that the prince and the future princess have a deep relationship, and the arranged marriage at the beginning can be regarded as a blessing for the destined couple.

It happened to be the first snowfall. Yuebai was holding a hot water bottle, watching the red plum blossoms in the garden falling in the snow. She heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw Chu Ji walking towards her on the snow, holding an oil-paper umbrella. The young man had a slender figure, a black round-necked suit, and a golden belt around his waist. His low-key appearance could not conceal his nobleness. His originally cold eyebrows softened the moment he saw Yuebai, and a tender smile spread around him.

Yue Bai waited for him in the yard holding an umbrella. She brushed off the few snowflakes on his clothes and looked up, "Brother Ji, why didn't you let me wait for you in the front yard? Is it cold to walk here? It's snowing again." Although she complained in a low voice, she had a sweet smile on her face. It was obvious that she was very happy to see Chu Ji. She handed the hot water bottle in her hand to him and turned to tell the servants, "Add more charcoal."

Chu Ji took the hot water bottle for warming his hands, stepped back half a step, and explained to Yue Bai's puzzled gaze: "I just came in from outside, and I'm still cold. Stay away from me to avoid catching a cold."

One year when it snowed heavily, he didn't know that Yuebai was weak, and took her out to make a snowman. After coming back, Yuebai had a high fever. Before that, he always thought that he took good care of Yuebai because she was his fiancée and he had a responsibility towards her. But when Yuebai's face was red with fever and she was lying on the bed, he was shocked to realize that no matter who Yuebai was, he just wanted to stay with her and protect her.

Yue Bai obviously also thought that Chu Ji didn't want her to catch a cold again for the same reason as before, so she didn't force herself to get close to him and handed him a cup of tea: "Try it!"

Under Yuebai's expectant eyes, Chu Ji drank it down in one gulp with a fearless attitude.

"Hey! Brother Ji, this is not the way to taste tea. You're just like a cow chewing a peony!" The girl puffed up her cheeks in anger because of Chu Ji's behavior. She was clearly complaining, but it sounded like she was acting like a spoiled child.

Chu Ji really didn't want to drink her tea, especially the tea she brewed herself. His fiancée was the most beautiful woman in the capital, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she seemed to have no talent for tea making. No matter how expensive the tea leaves and tea sets were, the tea brewed with them was always bitter and astringent. It seemed that this little girl had a problem with tea. Every time he came to see Yue Bai, he would always drink a pot of her tea. Later he found out that the Taifu and the Prime Minister had been tortured by Yue Bai many times, and they would avoid her when they saw her brewing tea.

Only Chu Ji, who rarely left the palace and came specifically to see Yue Bai, had to endure it.

"The plum blossoms outside are in full bloom. When I first arrived, I saw that the prime minister's wife seemed to have ordered her maid to pick plum blossoms." Chu Ji changed the subject and wanted to talk about something else.

Yuebai saw through Chu Ji's intention and tapped the table twice with her round, light pink nails as if she was angry. Without saying anything, she gestured for him to comment on her tea.

Chu Ji looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yuebai's hands, as white and tender as the finest mutton-fat jade. The dark rosewood table made her hands shine even more. He said inexplicably, "I drank too fast just now. I couldn't taste it. Please give me another glass." Chu Ji regretted it immediately. It was true that beauty could mislead people.

When Yuebai heard that Chu Ji wanted another cup, she turned the jade pot over. The tea that came out of the spout was very beautiful, and the hot steam rose up and surrounded Yuebai's eyes. The beauty was brewing tea in the plum garden, and the fragrance was lingering. Another cup of tea was handed to Chu Ji. Yuebai's eyes were full of anticipation. Chu Ji could never refuse Yuebai's request. This time he drank very slowly, and it seemed like he was savoring it slowly.

"how?"

"Very good. Much better than what I drank last month."

"Brother Ji, you are the best! Once I have mastered the art of tea making, I will make tea for you every day." Yuebai leaned slightly on Chu Ji's shoulder. This time, Chu Ji did not step away, but stretched out a hand to hug Yuebai.

"Yuebai, you don't have to learn anything. You don't have to care what those people say. I will make you the most noble woman in the future, so just be yourself and be happy." Chu Ji certainly knew how the ladies in the capital made fun of her tea art behind her back, but he never thought that she should compete with those ladies in the capital.

Yuebai did not respond, but let him hug the person serving him. At this time, he stepped back, leaving time for the perfect couple.

Seeing that everyone around him had left, Chu Ji took out a box with red ears and handed it to Yue Bai.

"This is the pattern I drew myself and asked someone in the palace to make it. Do you like it?"

Yuebai opened the gift box, and inside lay a hairpin made of Hetian jade with auspicious clouds, and underneath the auspicious clouds were a few huge oriental pearl tassels.

"You will be coming of age next year. During the ceremony, can you use this hairpin I gave you to tie your hair? I know that the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister might make other hairpins for you, so I made it a year in advance..." Chu Ji became more and more nervous as he spoke, and in the end he even didn't dare to look at Yue Bai.

"Okay!" Yue Bai saw that Chu Ji's ears were about to turn red, so she didn't intend to tease him and agreed directly, "My brother's illness is getting worse. I guess he won't have time to make a hairpin for me. Winter is even harder. I haven't left the yard for a long time. My father is also very busy with my brother's illness."

"My father has already issued an imperial edict to recruit famous doctors from all over the world. Don't worry too much. The imperial physician said that Master Tai would not live for more than five years. It's already the seventh year. He will definitely get better."

Looking at the naive little prince, Yuebai felt a little reluctant to carry out the plan his brother had proposed.

Yuebai could only nod, without saying anything more, and called Xing'er over to put away the gift box sent by Chu Ji.

The snow was still falling in the courtyard, and the red plum blossoms were blooming beautifully. The Prime Minister's Mansion was now in the emperor's favor. Yue Hua should have moved to the Grand Tutor's Mansion after getting married, but because Yue Hua was not married, the emperor was afraid of wronging him, so he expanded the Prime Minister's Mansion three times. Yue Bai knew that the separation of life and death between Yue Hua and the emperor was about to take place.

This is similar to the scenes that Yuebai had experienced in the trial. She had experienced it many times. To her, such intense love and hate were like a spectator. However, Yuebai cherished the feelings of every son of destiny towards her, and would try her best to give them perfection in her small world.

Yuebai was looking at the scenery, but Chu Ji's eyes never left Yuebai. They grew up together over the years, and in people's eyes, Yuebai was a gentle lady from a noble family. It was not until they got along together that Yuebai would occasionally show her temper.

The two of them were drinking tea and appreciating the snow in the courtyard. Chu Ji was enjoying this rare leisure time. Yue Bai was fiddling with the red plums that Xing Er had just picked from outside. She was not going to go out today, so she was only wearing a simple white straight-sleeved dress with a circle of rabbit fur on the collar and cuffs. She had a red belt tied around her waist. Her hair was half tied up, with a few strands hanging down to her forehead. Her clear eyes were smiling, her red lips were slightly pursed, and her snow-white skin seemed to be stained with a thin layer of frost in the sunlight. She put the red plums into a white-bottomed blue-glazed porcelain vase with her delicate hands, and turned back to ask Chu Ji, "Does it look good?"

"Beautiful." Chu Ji whispered back to her, and for a moment he didn't know whether he was talking about the flowers or the people.

I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived at the mansion, but he went straight to find Yuebai. After returning home, Prime Minister Lin instructed the people in the mansion to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince well, but in fact he was also worried, because his daughter would be coming of age next year, so although he saw their relationship getting better and better, marrying into the imperial family might not be a good thing because of Yuebai's simple personality, and Yuehua's health was getting worse day by day.

"Go ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince whether he will have dinner at his residence today, and how the young master is doing."

"Young master is still the same. The medicine prescribed by the dean seems to be of little effect." The person who answered lowered his head even more.

When Chu Ji had already drunk the third pot of tea, the Prime Minister sent someone to ask him if he wanted to stay for dinner. Chu Ji turned around and looked at Yue Bai inquiringly. Yue Bai rolled her eyes and winked at him.

"Don't bother, Lord Zuo Xiang, please get ready. I will take Yue Bai out later."

Not to mention that the prince's shield is really useful. Yuebai is not allowed to go out of the mansion on weekdays, but as long as she says that the prince has invited her, she will be allowed to go out. Even the prime minister's wife has seen Chu Ji's care for Yuebai over the years, and the mother-in-law is more and more satisfied with her son-in-law. If Chu Ji says in advance that he will come to the prime minister's mansion, the prime minister's wife will definitely dress Yuebai very grandly. Yuebai complained to Chu Ji about this several times, and in the end, no one knew what happened, and it never happened again.

After sending away the inquiring people, Yuebai stood up and said, "Let's go, Brother Ji. I want to eat at the restaurant you took me to last time. Let Xiao Fuzi buy a portion of lotus cake and bring it along."

Xiao Fuzi had sharp ears and immediately responded at the door: "Hey, Miss, I will go right away."

"You are getting more and more adept at ordering the people around me around you." Chu Ji also stood up and walked out, deliberately avoiding looking at Yue Bai.

Yuebai was not afraid of him and gently tugged at his sleeves, "Thank you, Brother Ji, for taking me out. I recently embroidered a purse for Brother Ji, so I'll let Xing'er take it to Brother Ji."

Chu Ji finally curled his lips, and the blush on his ears that had just faded away seemed to be coming back. Seeing that Xiao Fuzi at the door hadn't moved yet, he urged her in a disguised way, "Miss Lin asked you to go, why don't you go quickly? Why are you standing there?"

"Hey, hey, hey! I'll go right away. The reason I didn't go just now was because I was worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince might ask me to buy some things that other ladies like. Miss Lin is the apple of His Royal Highness's eye, so of course we will obey your orders." Xiao Fuzi quickly agreed with a smile, and praised Chu Ji a few more times in front of Yuebai in a flattering manner.

"Go quickly!" Chu Ji's ears really turned red. Yuebai also asked Xing'er to get the purse.

Looking at Xing'er who was walking out, Chu Ji said, "Go and get the cloak that I gave your young lady last time and let her wear it." Turning around, he asked for credit and said to Yue Bai, "The cloak I gave you last time was made from a white fox that I hunted myself when my father was hunting."

"It's very beautiful, but I've never had the chance to go out and have never worn it. It's just a coincidence that today, Brother Ji gave it to me, so I wore it to Brother Ji to see if it suits me." A hint of shyness appeared on Yuebai's face, and her smile was as beautiful as a flower.

Chu Ji looked expectant, he thought Yuebai would look good in it.

Xing'er's steps were quick. She brought the purse and cloak in a cup of tea. The purse prepared by Yuebai was black with a pattern of auspicious clouds, which just matched Chu Ji's clothes today.

"We think alike. I gave you a hairpin with auspicious clouds on it, and you gave me a purse with auspicious clouds on it. Haha, we can be said to have a tacit understanding." Chu Ji is still young after all, and the reason for his happiness is very simple.

"Brother Ji, what are you talking about! Although we are engaged, we are not married yet. Brother Ji, please be careful with your words."

Seeing that Yuebai seemed really angry, Chu Ji hurriedly coaxed her, "Okay, okay, Yuebai doesn't want to hear it, so I won't say anything. Brother Ji will take you out for a walk as an apology, okay?"

After that, he solemnly took Yuebai's hand, slowly placed it on his chest, stared into Yuebai's eyes and said word by word: "I, Chu Ji, will only marry you in this life. The throne is not as important to me as you. Yuebai, do you understand?"

Yuebai felt her heart warm at the boy's passionate and sincere gaze. She buried her head in his chest obediently and hugged him back gently, "I know, Brother Ji, I only love you in this life."

Chu Ji hugged Yue Bai tightly with great emotion, and spoke expectantly: "After this year, I will ask my father to set a date for our wedding. By then, I want you to marry me in a formal ceremony and become the Crown Princess."

"Okay." Yuebai thought that the little prince in this world was very cute. If nothing unexpected happened and he gained good fortune, she would stay and accompany him for the rest of his life.

After expressing her heartfelt feelings, Xing'er helped Yuebai put on his cloak. Xing'er had watched them grow up, and the smile on her face was obviously for Yuebai's happiness.

The young lady is so respected by the prince before she even gets married. She will surely have a happy life in the future. Their angel-like young lady and the prince are a perfect match. The servants are very envious. Xing'er wants to follow the young lady and watch her and the prince together for the rest of her life. Xing'er's current state is like she is obsessed with the couple.

Soon, the doorman came with a message that the horses were ready and they could go out. Chu Ji opened the umbrella he brought with him and protected Yuebai in his arms. Yuebai looked up and saw the young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, paying close attention to not let her get wet with snow, but some snow had already fallen on his black cloak. When they reached the door and helped Yuebai get on the carriage, Chu Ji shook off the snow on his clothes before going in.

Yuebai sat down in the carriage. The small carriage was fully equipped. Chu Ji took out the snacks and laid them out skillfully. "This is the lotus cake you asked for, and the cloud cake you like..."

"Xiao Fuzi is very quick." While praising Xiao Fuzi, he had already started picking up a piece of lotus cake.

"Eat less, you probably won't be able to finish the food in the restaurant." Although Chu Ji complained, he still handed a cup of tea to Yue Bai for fear that she would choke.

The carriage slowly drove along the bluestone street. Today, there were few pedestrians on the snowy road.

"My lady, we're here!"

In the private room on the second floor of the restaurant, there was a window that was always open, facing the carriage that Chu Ji got off. A woman wearing a black hat looked at Chu Ji with a poisonous gaze. Chu Ji seemed to sense something, looked up but didn't see anything and just thought he was being too suspicious.
