CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

632 My Sun

The sun was almost straight above their heads when the Crown Prince and Bai Ying were already moving back towards the palace. To be exact, it was the Crown Prince who was carrying Bai Ying on his back.

Slowly trying to enjoy the time and atmosphere as much as possible, step by step the Crown Prince with Bai Ying on his back and also the cloth bag on the front of his chest. He looked so ridiculous, that’s what he thought now. Just don’t let Bei Yau and the others see him like that, let alone Prince Chen, he could laugh at him. That spoiled brat Bai Ying thought he could have a picnic and do everything on his own, but in the end, it just added more trouble for him.

However, Bai Ying thought of a different situation, in his head, it was the most romantic moment. Hug the Crown Prince’s back and feel the warmth of his body, all of this was like a beautiful dream.

“Your Highness, don’t walks too fast, Ying er will fall later”

“What fast? This is too slow” Luo Xiang protested. But it was useless because Bai Ying had fallen back asleep on his back with his head asleep on his shoulder.

Luo Xiang smiled, this brat, how could he not spoil him? He is indeed very precious, more than anything in the world, and even more, he is willing to do anything for him, even if it is one of them being the laughing stock of Prince Chen and others.

“Heh”

...

Bei Yau and his men lined up in front of the valley waiting patiently for the Crown Prince’s arrival. Immediately everyone lowered their heads as they saw the Crown Prince and Bai Ying appear from the distance.

.....

“Greeting, Your Highness the Crown Prince”

Luo Xiang pulled his lips, his men, are they not tired of shouting his name even when they are outside the palace? He continued his footsteps carrying Bai Ying who was sleeping on his back as if he was nothing to him.



???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

“Bei”

Bei Yau lowered his head as Luo Xiang approached. The Crown Prince walked past him on the path leading to the back part of the palace complex.

Chen Ming and Xiao Hong had just emerged from the vila after enjoying the morning air just the two of them.

“That two, what did they do all night in the valley anyway? I hardly believe that brat can stand to feel hungry without eating anything. They really have too much time to spend on.”

Xiao Hong looked at the Crown Prince who was walking followed by Bei Yau and his soldiers. Bai Ying’s maids already lining up in front of the Plum villa waiting for the Crown Prince and Bai Ying to return.

Xiao Hong smiled. He took Chen Ming’s hand and grasp it, which made Chen Ming turn his head with sharp eyes towards him.
“It looks so fun, my Prince, I think we need to go there too, how about if we go by tonight, Hong hasn’t enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere in the forest for a long time.”

Chen Ming pulled his hand.

“How if you go alone, where would I want to go into the woods like that, cold, no soft bed, lots of insects? What’s the fun from that?” Chen Ming said then turned back towards the villa leaving Xiao Hong who was still waiting for his answer in his place.

Xiao Hong caught up with him.

“Prince, I think that’s a good idea, come on, we should try it”

“Don’t think anything funny, Hong, you’re starting to catch human weird traits”

“It’s not weird, Hong comes from the forest, and life there is much more fun than in the city. Prince must feel it once in a while”

Both voices sounded lively even when both get inside the villa.

“Stop it, Hong, I can’t possibly want to go to a dirty and damp place, you can forget that idea”

...........

Nguuuuung.

Long trumpet sound.

Another day at Xin Hua Palace which was bustling with invited guests. That sunny day the palace returned to the arrival of envoys from the Son Wa Tribe. But not the usual messenger from the tribe. The sky and the clear air couldn’t compare to the beautiful smile on the handsome and shining face of the man who was now sitting in front of Princess Wu Lan in Eagle hall.

“Hehehe Your Highness sure can be humble. Servant is just someone who happens to have free time and is allowed to come to visit. This is truly an extraordinary honour” his voice even sounded melodious and polite. It was completely different from the last time they visited.

He was a tall man with a very sturdy jaw that was clean of hair or beard. Big eyes with a sharp pointed nose. Long whitish to silver hair colour that waves when the wind gently caresses it. Slightly high cheekbones with a smile that shows white teeth lined up neatly. He was truly a handsome man, probably the same age as Shin Ya and with a face resembling Elder Yi.

Shin Ya sitting not far in front of Princess Wulan. As an advisor, he certainly have to be there when palace guests arrived. Apart from the old Counselor Pai who is about to retire soon, Shin Ya has to always be where Princess Wu Lan is at every official court meeting.

Princess Wu Lan couldn’t stop smiling at the sweet words of the man who from his all-white clothes with a fury neckline wasn’t just an ordinary messenger from Son Wa.

While the two of them were still having fun, a voice came from the big door.

“His Majesty the King and Crown Prince have arrived!”

Soon Shin Ya and several officials in the room stood up to welcome the arrival of the King and Crown Prince. Everyone bowed their heads in respect.

“Greetings Your Majesty the King and Crown Prince!”

Even the guest at that time, the envoy from Son Wa stood up and saluted. An attitude that was very much different from King Bi Lou’s attitude.

“Greetings Your Majesty the King, Greeting Your Highness the Crown Prince” everyone bowed their heads so they couldn’t see how the King and Crown Prince looked at that time. What was clear was that everyone could hear rattles resembling small objects touching each other.

The clothes that Bai Ying was wearing were extraordinarily beautiful. Wah Ye’s signature exquisite clothing was only made to be worn by members of the royal family, and became the oversized garment for the current King. Top with a checkered collar hanging off the outside with a high-collared white inner layer patterned with sparkling silver thread. A sheer silk cloth flowed in the next outer layer which resembled a lightly flowing coat with the length reaching behind his waist.

The bottom is a bit long and falls below the knee with Wah Ye’s signature embroidery of nature and a falcon coiling and waving heavily due to the various pretty sparkling stones hanging from the hem that make a sound when it moves. Thick trousers of black velvet with high black boot shoes with a Wah Ye pattern reaching above the calf.

He clearly looks stunning in clothes that he rarely wears because they attract too much attention. While the Crown Prince, as usual, always looks very handsome in blue clothes with a combination of silver and gold dragon ornaments coiled above his hair bun.

He held Bai Ying’s hand tightly when he saw who their guest was. He might hear it wrong, although it’s impossible. Not as he expected, the guest he thought would be the same as before, the ugly and rude man from Son Wa, was not like that.

Princess Wu Lan smiled seeing Bai Ying and the Crown Prince who was approaching and greeting her.

“Greetings grandma, May grandma always be healthy and happy,” said Bai Ying bowing his head in front of the princess.

Wu Lan chuckled, he held Bai Ying’s two hands and helped him stand up straight.

“Hehe sweet boy, the Viceroy doesn’t need to pay respects to this old hag, how is your sleep, is it enough?” Wu Lan asked.

Bai Ying raised his head. Smiling shyly at Princess Wu Lan’s question as he had slept long enough and only woke up before noon, he was really exhausted.

“Hehe, yeah, that’s how it is grandma”

Princess Wu Lan pointed at the man from Son Wa’s envoys who were still standing with their heads bowed in front of them.

“Oh yeah, meet Prince Li Hua, a special envoy from Son Wa, today he came to apologize on behalf of the King who came the other day and had made a scene. He brought a lot of special food from Son Wa with him in front.”

Bai Ying and Luo Xiang glanced at the man who was still lowering his head.

“Oh Prince Li, please no need to so hesitate,” said Bai Ying.

The man raised his head, slowly looking at the young man in front of him. As if the warm sunlight hit his eyes, the face and smile of the young man in front of him, the young man who was said to be the Viceroy, enchanted him so much that he couldn’t move and was at a loss for words.

“Eh”

The man stiffened in place.

However, something flashed from his gaze, something that only Bai Ying as well as the Crown Prince could see. Those eyes, shining silver.
