CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

692 Planned up

On the side terrace of the Plum Vila, accompanied by nature’s sound as the pretty birds singing on the highest tree branches. That afternoon, Bai Ying sit relaxed enjoying the cold and nice weather that afternoon together with the Crown Prince. He leaned his body on top of the Crown Prince who hugged him tightly from behind.

Luo Xiang lifted Bai Ying’s hand and kissed it gently.

“Chup”

“Honey, are you feeling better? Your body is still a little warm” whispered the Crown Prince who occasionally even bit Bai Ying’s earlobe from behind.

Bai Ying just sat leaning back with a far-sighted view where the evening sky slowly turned orange, it might soon be dark. Seen from a distance several large birds flew to and fro. He hadn’t been to the Pai Hua valley for a long time, let alone going there, he hadn’t even gone to the main palace. Without realizing it, he has been under house arrest for some time now.

Bai Ying turned his head as the Crown Prince lifted his hand and kissed his fingers.

“Your Majesty”

Luo Xiang raised his head.

“When, shall we return to Yue Yang?” he asked.

.....

Luo Xiang thought.

“Em, it’s up to you, whenever you’re ready, my dear”

Bai Ying looked restrained. The Crown Prince is now not the Crown Prince he once knew. This man even dared to poison him to make him attached to him. Can’t go far from the palace for more than a day. If he didn’t get the antidote on time, Bai Ying would definitely faint somewhere and might even lose his life. What is actually the Crown Prince’s mind? Lock him up for the rest of his life? In fact, he thought, his love was really sincere, but it was more about lust than love.

Luo Xiang kissed Bai Ying’s forehead. Seeing Bai Ying’s eyes did not look at him after hearing his answer.

“Hey baby, what are you thinking?”

Bai Ying turned his head. He turned his gaze further ahead. Letting the Crown Prince kiss him to his heart’s content, cheeks, down to his neck without stopping.
“Nothing, I was just thinking, before we leave, will His Highness Grandfather King hold a farewell party for us? Or at least, I want to meet him before we part. There is, something that Ying er wants to talk about”

Luo Xiang straightened up in his seat. Bai Ying looked so serious.

“Ying er, what do you want to say to His Majesty the King?”

Bai Ying turned his head, seeing the Crown Prince’s eyes for a long time. The look in his eyes seemed to suspect him of what he was about to do as if trying to prevent him before he did. Bai Ying returned his gaze. He had to stay calm even though doing anything now with the Crown Prince was no longer fun, even thinking about it made him feel pain in his chest. He had to stay calm. Bai Ying shook his head.

“Nothing, I just want to ask, is there a possibility that I can take brother Ming Ming out of this palace, father, and mother have already agreed to help take care of big brother in the Hua residence. It’s not too far from the palace, so if I miss him, I can come back home to see him.”

Luo Xiang let go of his hold. Turn Bai Ying towards him. See if the kid is talking seriously or just talking carelessly.

“Ying er, bringing Prince Chen Ming back to your house will be very difficult for your family. Caring for a paralyzed person is not an easy thing” Luo Xiang said holding Bai Ying’s two hands

Bai Ying let go of Luo Xiang’s hold on him. Turn his body back in where he was.

“I know that, but Brother Ming Ming is my brother, he is my mother’s niece, and we are his family. Taking care of him is what we naturally do. I just, want to talk to His Majesty Grandpa about this matter, at least persuade him ”

Luo Xiang held his breath. It would be useless to persuade Bai Ying who was already on his feet.

Bai Ying looked far ahead. Where the sky is getting orange and the air is getting colder. Soon the sun hanging half the height of a tree far away in the Pai Hua valley will return to rest. And, the sky will be dark.

The next night.

Loud sounds of music and dancing resounded throughout Great Wah Ye’s Palace. That night, the palace held a special banquet as a farewell event for the Crown Prince and the Young Prince to go back to Yue Yang. The palace did not invite many people, only palace officials and their families who had now filled the Great Eagle Hall.

King Wu Yi seemed to be enjoying the event with a hearty laugh that made his old cheeks even rounder. From his appearance, the old man who became the country’s ruler looked like an ordinary old man with a simple face, but, who knows what he had done.

Bai Ying sat at a table with the Crown Prince not far from where the King and the old ministers sat. King Wu Yi himself had many concubines sitting at the back of his chair, some even chirping with sweet smiles at the Ministers who did not hesitate to toast with them. However, due to learning a very strange martial art from the Female Priest’s clan, Wu Yi had to give up his intimate organs being injured so that he could not even have children despite so many beautiful women around him.

“Hahahaha please enjoy tonight’s event, we will make this event an unforgettable event for the Crown Prince and my beloved grandson. Cheers!” he cried, raising his cup of wine high.

Everyone cheered and raised their cups high.

“Cheers!”

Meanwhile, Bai Ying could only enjoy the signature Wah Ye tea served to him and the Crown Prince as well. Even though the Crown Prince now turns out to prefer wine over tea, that’s really not him, the Crown Prince he knows likes tea even more than wine. As long as he knew him, he had only seen the Crown Prince drink wine twice. When he was with Grandpa Po and when he received a challenge from his brother Ming Ming who said that the Crown Prince was someone who couldn’t drink alcohol. And the tea served in front of him, was Wah Ye’s finest tea, the Crown Prince loved that tea more than others.

Luo Xiang laughed. He raised his cup of wine high and folded his sleeves to drink it politely, in one gulp.

He looked at Bai Ying who was still holding his teacup. Luo Xiang grabbed another cup and poured wine into it, pushing it toward Bai Ying who was still looking at him in awe.

“Your Highness, I don’t drink alcohol, isn’t Your Highness who forbids me?” asked Bai Ying.

Luo Xiang smiles.

“Hey, it’s a good day Ying, you can drink it”

Bai Ying pursed his lips, no, he didn’t like wine, the last time he tried it he had to wake up with an unbearably sore head, he had once enjoyed it with grandpa Po. How strange, grandpa Po, did he just dream about him? Why does it feel so real? Grandpa Po, who until now he can still remember so well, how his cheeks get rounded like buns when he laughed heartily.

Bai Ying gripped his teacup tightly. Grandpa Po, is he really not there and never was? How did all this happen? He must think hard. What exactly is he missing?

It didn’t take long for the very lively event to end. One by one the guests left the hall where Bai Ying and Luo Xiang were still sitting in their seats.

Before long, Eunuch Sheng approached. The stocky man drew closer and lowered his head in front of the Crown Prince and Bai Ying.

“Your Majesty the Prince, His Majesty the King is ready to see you now,” said the eunuch.

Bai Ying looked at him sharply. The last time he saw the eunuch was when he orders the guard to kill Bei Yau and the kids, he will never forget that. Just looking at his face makes him sick.

Bai Ying didn’t look at the eunuch for long, stood up from his seat, and headed towards the King’s study which was in the interior of the Eagle hall.

In that room. King Wu Yi, the old man sat on a large chair behind his work desk. Meanwhile, Eunuch Sheng, his personal adviser also went inside with him.


King Wu Yi smiled as he saw Bai Ying enter his room, and stop in front of his desk.

“Hehehe sweet boy, Eunuch Sheng said you want to see me and have a private talk, what do you want to talk about?” he asked.

Bai Ying stood where he was for a moment, glaring at his grandfather intently even though when he entered earlier he had lowered his head to greet him.

“Grandpa, is..” Bai Ying glanced at Eunuch Sheng who was standing not far beside King Wu Yi.

“Eunuch Sheng should also be here? This is a private conversation between Grandpa and his grandson, outsiders shouldn’t be joining in.”
