Chapter 45

  "Huh?"

  After Yunmian retreated, it was already too late, and her white face had already been stained with a trace of flour.

  Wen Ting's movements were quick and light, and Yun Mian's face turned white with a streak of his own that he didn't even know about, and could only stare at him blankly with wide open eyes.

  Wen Ting looked at her and smiled with pursed lips, his mood suddenly becoming inexplicably good. He asked with concern, "Where did you go just now? Did Mr. call you for something?"

  "Ah!" Yunmian came back to himself and said excitedly, "It's the Honorable Fox Official who said that the Fox Princess wants to see me, so he brought me over!"

  "Fox Spirit Lady?"

  "Uh-huh!" Yunmian nodded happily, "The princess said that for New Year's it's best to wear new clothes, so she gave me these clothes."

  As she spoke, she swung her sleeves open and twirled back and forth in front of Wen Ting, asking expectantly: "Does it look good? Does it look good?"

  Wen Ting heard Yun Mian mention Hu Zhu Niang Niang and was taken aback for a moment, but in an instant she was distracted by Yun Mian's words and couldn't help but lose herself in looking at the clothes on her body.

  Yunmian's beauty was as clear and lovely as ever. Even her usual plain white dress for worshiping the moon would attract more than a few glances from others. Now that she had changed into an even more exquisite new outfit, of course, she looked stunning. Although at this moment, there was a streak of white powder on her face that she wasn't aware of, Yunmian's almond-shaped eyes shone brightly, and her expression was full of anticipation as she gazed at him with no distractions whatsoever, which somehow gave off... a different kind of feeling.

  Wen Ting's heart felt like it had been tickled by a feather, and his face flushed with a few shades of red. He covered his mouth with his right hand, but didn't notice that his cheeks had gotten even whiter from the powder. He said awkwardly: "......It looks really good."

  Suddenly, Wen Ting added, "The clothes...the clothes are really beautiful."

  "Right!"

  Yunmian heard that Wen Ting was indeed boasting about her clothes, overjoyed, with beautiful eyes shining brightly, and eyelashes curved like a crescent moon.

  She also liked the clothes sent by Mrs. Hu, and heard that Ting only praised the clothes without thinking there was anything wrong, happily saying: "The skirt sent by the princess is really beautiful! The princess gave me a total of two sets, and there's another set! She said I can wear it tomorrow and show you when I get back."

  "Uh-huh."

  Wen Ting responded softly and said, "...... very suitable for you."

  After finishing, he suddenly became slightly flustered, handed the rolling pin to Yunmian and said: "Don't mention anything else, it's almost noon! Fox Officer said that there are many things to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner! We're about to start making dumplings, you come help too!"

  Yunmian held the rolling pin that Wenheng had handed to her, stunned for a moment, but in an instant she saw Wenheng's flustered figure turning around to prepare, and also the dough on the table that had already been rolled out.

  Yunmian asked excitedly and curiously: "Are we going to wrap dumplings today? What are dumplings like? Are they delicious?"

  Yunmian said while looking around with interest.

  The fox officer in the dining hall was secretly watching the two half-grown foxes chatting, and couldn't help but laugh. One of the female fox officers had always liked Yunmeng, who would quietly run around to help with things, and now that she saw her transform into a human, she waved at her and said: "Come over here, I'll teach you how to wrap."

  "Good."

  Yunmian immediately ran over excitedly and saw that the fox officials had already arranged several rows of dumplings.

  Yunmian curiously looked around, the female fox officer patiently led her to wash her hands, tidy up her hair and clothes, then gave her dumpling wrappers and fillings, teaching her step by step...

  Time flies quickly, and the sunlight outside the window has brought a hazy beauty of dusk from bright and transparent.

  Yunmian spent the whole afternoon wrapping dumplings. At first, she couldn't get the hang of it, even though the female fox official guided her carefully step by step. The dumplings that came out were still flat and soft, looking like they would fall apart as soon as they went into the pot. However, after wrapping for a while, Yunmian became more skilled. By afternoon, she had grasped the technique, although upon closer inspection, it was still not as neat as what the fox officials in the kitchen could do. Nevertheless, she was already able to make a whole row of beautiful dumplings that looked similar!

  Yunmian furrowed her brow and looked very serious when wrapping dumplings, but once she finished, she was overjoyed. She spent the whole afternoon wrapping dumplings, and by then, the flour that had been dusted on her face was no longer noticeable, replaced by an unknown amount of it stuck to her skin without her realizing it. When she saw the rows of snow-white, neatly arranged dumplings in front of her, Yunmian wiped the thin layer of sweat from her forehead, feeling a strong sense of accomplishment and happily let out a sigh of relief.

  "That should be enough." The female fox official counted the dumplings and smiled, "The rest is just cooking in a pot. You and Wen Ting have helped for a day, it's almost time to go out and play! Leave the rest to us, now is the perfect time to catch the firework display!"

  "Yes."

  Yunmian replied with a blush, she thought for a moment and asked again: "That, Lord Huo, can the dumplings...?"

  Hú Guān smiled and said: "You and Wén Tíng can have what you've made, later I'll cook a separate pot, divide it into two or three plates for you to taste... Stir-fried dishes too. If you're not full or want more of our cooking, just come back to the kitchen to exchange."

  Yunmian suddenly became excited and exclaimed: "Really?! Thank you!"

  Before Yunmian went to sleep, he had always eaten fruit from the trees. This was his first time cooking and wrapping dumplings by himself. It seemed that Hengtian also did it for the first time as they couldn't help but think of eating them themselves. As soon as Hu Guan sister agreed, Yunmian immediately happily wagged his tail.

  She saw the dumplings being taken away by other fox officials, and she also took off the apron that was worn outside her clothes to prevent stains while cooking, re-tied her hair, and ran to find Wen Ting. As soon as she saw him waiting for her, she waved her hand and said: "Wen Ting!"

  The Dongxian Palace is filled with joyful red lanterns inside and out, looking brand new. The sound of firecrackers can be heard faintly coming from either inside or outside the palace, and the rich festive atmosphere has driven away some of the darkness that comes with nightfall.

  As soon as he heard the sound of Yunmian's voice, he turned his head around, but when he saw her appearance, he couldn't help but smile.

  Earlier in the dining hall, because she wore a bib and tied up her hair, Yunmian's body was not stained, but after washing her hands, she forgot to wash her face before coming out, and now her face is still covered with patches of white flour.

  Wen Ting pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve and helped her wipe her face with a smile, saying "Why don't you wipe it clean."

  "Hmm..."

  Yunmian didn't know what Wenting was doing and unconsciously closed her eyes. It wasn't until she saw the flour on Wenting's handkerchief that she let out an "ah" and blushed with embarrassment.

  But Yunmian quickly reacted and pulled Wen Ting's sleeve excitedly, saying: "Let's go set off firecrackers!"

  Wen Ting was actually interested himself, he just waited for Yun Mian, and when she said that, he said: "Good."

  Two people set off firecrackers with the fox officials outside the Dongxian Palace, and when they returned to the Dongxian Palace, it was already pitch black.

  Tonight, the meal at Dongxian Palace was exceptionally sumptuous. When Yunmian and Wenting went to the dining hall to receive their food, the fox official in charge of the dining hall indeed gave them several plates of dumplings as promised. A few plates were obviously made by Yunmian, but the other fox officials had also added some of their own. In addition, there was a small stir-fry dish cooked by Wenting. Moreover, several enthusiastic fox officials invited them to join in and have the New Year's Eve dinner together.

  The two of them had always gotten along well with Huo Dang's fox officials, so they naturally agreed happily.

  A group of foxes set up a table in a beautifully landscaped courtyard, laid out rich dishes and also wine.

  Dong Qing passed through the courtyard when he saw Yunmian and Wenting, two little foxes, surrounded by a group of unknown fox officials who were teasing and chatting with them. Yunmian couldn't understand the humor in their words and tilted his head in confusion, while Wenting's face turned red from being teased, her eyes looking away to hide her embarrassment.

  Even if you don't go home, the New Year's atmosphere in Dongxian Palace is still quite good. Not to mention that many of the fox officials here have lived here for generations and are family themselves.

  Dong Qing smiled faintly, but his expression was ultimately not visible. He no longer looked at Yunmian and Wenting, and slowly walked away with the food case.

  However, at this time, Yunmian saw the main seat fox officer's white back alone. Yunmian paused and asked the fox officer sister who had already mixed familiarly: "Was that just now the main seat fox officer Lord Dongqing? Doesn't he eat with others?"

  "Oh, really?"

  The fox officer's sister didn't notice, and when asked by Yunmian, she was a bit dazed, only saying: "That master fox officer seems to have a more introverted personality, I see him eating alone all the time."

  "I know that Lord Fox Officer."

  At this time, another fox officer who had just come from Qingqiu City to help out smiled and said: "He seems to have no relatives, is unmarried, and lives alone... Although he has his own residence in Qingqiu City, he rarely returns there, and even spends New Year's Eve at the Fox Palace every year. He doesn't eat with others, but will watch the fireworks. Tonight's fireworks won't just be set off by the four palaces of east, south, west, and north, but also by the main fox palace in Qingqiu City, it will be quite spectacular."

  "Oh."
