Chapter 160 The Princess of a Lost Country is Everyone’s White Moonlight (45)
The snow outside stopped, and looking at the plum branches in the vase, Yuebai felt like going out for a walk. When the first snow fell, Jiang Chenying didn't let her go out, so Yuebai stayed in Fusheng Tower.
Seeing that she was happy today, the three men did not dampen her mood. They brought her a heater, put on a cloak, and then set off for the plum garden.
The four of them walked and stopped along the way, picking a few plum blossoms of various kinds. Yuebai stopped in front of a plum tree. The bright moon in the sky made the snow on the red plum blossoms look even whiter. Between the moonlight and the snow, the woman in white fur was the third most beautiful thing.
They had originally gone their separate ways to look for the branches they wanted, and they all planned to take some back to put in vases. When they found some, they came back and reunited here, and no one spoke a word.
She just watched this scene quietly, as if she was a spirit transformed from Mei Shangxue, afraid that she would melt away under the moon if they approached.
"Chen Zhou, Junior Brother Qing He, Xuan Er, it's a rare full moon tonight." Yue Bai turned around and saw them and said, "I haven't seen such a moonlight for a long time."
The moonlight is bright tonight, and no one has appreciated the moonlight for a long time. Just walking under the moon in Merlin as a group, it really feels like the old days.
Perhaps this was the last time that everyone could get along peacefully together. Yuebai finally took out the tortoise shell with the hexagram pattern.
He began to tell fortunes under their puzzled gazes, again and again. They had no idea what Yuebai was asking, but they could guess that it was related to them.
Finally, Yuebai collected all the patterned tortoise shells at dawn and said to them, "Brother Qinghe, please walk with me. Chenzhou, you and Xuan'er go back first."
The three people didn't understand why but still did as they were told. When there were only two of them left, Zhou Qinghe finally asked, "Is the Master really dead?"
If Zhou Qinghe did not have royal status, he would actually be a more suitable person to be the next head of the academy. Yuebai is too stubborn and will not change her mind about what she has determined, so she is destined to be caught up in disputes.
But Zhou Qinghe was different. He was more likely to be pushed forward and passively involved without any choice.
Yue Bai thought of Zhong? and nodded. She didn't want to go into detail, so she just replied, "Master is no longer here, but she went where she wanted to go and probably met the people she wanted to meet."
Zhou Qinghe fell silent after hearing this. Although Zhong Yu was not as close to him as he was to Yue Bai, he had fulfilled his responsibilities as a teacher.
"Junior Brother Qinghe, can you let it go?" Yuebai looked at Zhou Qinghe and asked.
"Sister, I didn't persuade you when you left the mountain, and you don't have to persuade me now. I like you, but I know that I am not destined to be with you in this life."
At this moment, Yuebai really wanted to tell him his true identity, but she couldn't. If their true identities were exposed, people on both sides would not let them go. Not to mention whether Zhou Qinghe would accept it, the old subordinates of Liang State would definitely kill Zhou Qinghe.
"Qinghe, it would be nice if you were always by my side." Yuebai looked at Zhou Qinghe. Her eyes were not full of tenderness, but it was not the kind Zhou Qinghe wanted.
"Senior Sister, I've always wanted to ask you why? Why are you so special to me? Why can't it be me?" Zhou Qinghe still couldn't help but want an answer.
"Are you asking about Chen Ying?" Yue Bai's tone was a little more tender when she mentioned Liang Chen Ying. "I wasn't moved at first, but he was so pitiful that I couldn't help but love him a little more. He was so stupid that he wanted me to be the empress."
Zhou Qinghe didn't expect this to be the reason, so he asked, "Senior Sister, what if I can do it too?"
Yuebai lowered his eyes, hiding a trace of regret, then raised his head and replied: "I don't need you to give up anything for me."
Because I want to personally promote you to the position of the child of destiny, but I also ask you to give me all your sincerity in exchange.
Now the only thing left in this situation is the harvest. The disguised Ji girl uses herself as bait to harvest the luck of this world, which is like raising a Gu.
Until the last moment, you will never know who the real target of the harvest is.
Yuebai hid his emotions and put on his mask again: "Qinghe, just be yourself. This is what I expect of you."
"Senior Sister, why can't I?" Zhou Qinghe persistently wanted an answer.
Yue Bai sighed softly: "You don't need to compare yourself with anyone. To Senior Sister, you are the most important. If Chen Ying dares to touch you, Senior Sister will kill him."
Because Zhou Qinghe was Queen Jin's only child, Queen Jin would always make clothes for her when she was a child. Later, when Zhou Qinghe was born, she would also make a set of clothes for him. However, Zhou Qinghe had never worn them from childhood to adulthood.
All the clothes were collected in Yuebai's residence and sealed in a box. Although Yuebai had a clear conscience towards Zhou Mingxuan over the years, she was still no match for Zhou Qinghe.
Yuebai did not give Zhou Mingxuan all the clothes made by Queen Jing, because she felt that no one could replace Zhou Qinghe, and naturally no one could use Zhou Qinghe's things.
When Zhou Qinghe heard Yue Bai's words, he actually felt a little greedy again: "Senior Sister..."
"For some things, if you really want to do them, Senior Sister will pave the way for you, but Qinghe, you have to think it through."
After saying this, Yuebai left.
When she returned to Fusheng Building, Jiang Chenying was already waiting for her. When he saw her come back, he hurried to greet her.
"Master, why did you talk to him for so long? He wasn't cold, was he?" He held Yuebai's hand in his and made sure that the heater in her hand was still warm before he felt relieved.
Yuebai asked Jiang Chenying jokingly: "Don't you want to know what I said to him?"
Jiang Chenying shook his head: "Master, I am afraid sometimes, but as long as you are by my side, I can not care about anything. I don't have much originally, and the worst result is to return to the original state, but Master is fine..."
Fortunately, the bright moon also shone its light on him. Even if it was just a brief embrace, it was a warmth that he could protect for the rest of his life.
"Chen Ying, don't be afraid, Master will accompany you wherever you go."
So don’t be afraid of the dark, someone will always remember to light a lamp for you.
Jiang Chenying slowly let go of the anxiety in her heart and said, "The ceremony will be held in a few days, and Master will also attend. I asked them to make a dress for Master, and it happened to be delivered today. Master, do you want to try it on?"
Yuebai was intrigued for a moment. There had never been a precedent of an imperial tutor participating in the coronation ceremony, and naturally there was no formal dress. To be precise, there had never been a woman serving as an imperial tutor.
"Then bring it here and let me see." Yuebai, who had not slept all night, felt a little tired, but he still fulfilled Jiang Chenying's wish.
