CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

506 Tastes so Sweet

“Em, and Your Majesty, grandma said that she has prepared beautiful clothes for Her Majesty the Queen and the concubines, do you think Her Majesty the Queen will like them?”

Luo Xiang saw Bai Ying’s innocent face, the two of them with a group of servants behind him followed by Bei Yau had also left the pavilion following the path leading to the lake. He only nodded once in a while when the young man asked him.

“Yeah I think they’ll like it”

“Um really, Your Majesty? Then what about the food that I brought? Would they like the sweets made by the palace chef Xin Hua? Oh, Ying really wants to carry everything as much as I can, shall we take another goods carriage, Your Majesty? How about the jewellery that Grandma told us to bring with us? There’s a lot of them.”

The Crown Prince couldn’t stop smiling at Bai Ying who couldn’t stop talking, so he stopped his steps and pulled Bai Ying towards him, pinching the boy’s cheek affectionately.

“This kid, can’t you stop talking?”

Bai Ying puffed his mouth out, touching his cheek.

“Your Majesty, it hurts, why does Your Majesty always pinch my cheek?”

“Who says, always? This is the first time big brother has pinched your cheeks.”

.....

Bai Ying looked at the Crown Prince with a sharp gaze.

“Who said that? Look at this, no wonder my cheeks are stretching like this, this is because Your Majesty always pinched me.”

Luo Xiang couldn’t stop laughing, Bai Ying’s face was really cute, and he really just pinched him again after a long time, and he should have forgotten about it, the kid won’t know how often he pinched him because he was so adorable. It means that deep in the young man’s small heart he still remembers it, he just needs to remind him slowly. Luo Xiang grabbed Bai Ying’s palm, gripped it tightly and continued their way along the Chi Yun lake.

“Okay, please forgive me, then, come on my dear Ying Ying, the air this morning is very beautiful, it’s too sweet to miss, we are going on a picnic today”

Bai Ying nodded.

“Yeah, we’re having a picnic!”

The sound of running water is calm.

By noon it was quite warm, with a slight breeze blowing and the sun shining brightly. Bai Ying and the Crown Prince sat under a shady tree by the lake, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the lake accompanied by the variety of snacks and fresh fruits that Yan and Bi did not stop bringing. The Viceroy and Crown Prince’s picnic is a big deal for all, with lots of little maids making sure the picnic went smoothly.

Luo Xiang glanced at Bei Yau who was standing not far from him. Seeing that the commander seemed to be giving orders from the look in his eyes, of course only Bei Yau understood the meaning of that gaze.

The young bodyguard lowered his head and backed away.

“Ying Ying, do you like these grapes? I heard from old man Pai that the residents planted it outside the hill, they harvested quite a lot and we will bring it back to the palace.”

Bai Ying saw the Crown Prince’s hand thrusting the small green fruit in front of his mouth, opened his mouth wide and ate it.

“Erm, delicious Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Queen will definitely like it”

Luo Xiang pulled his lips, pinching the tip of Bai Ying’s nose exasperatedly.

“This kid, are you only thinking about others? What if I don’t want to share it with them? The taste and colour of those grown in Yue Yang are not the same, it won’t be enough for all of them.”

Bai Ying pursed his lips as he looked at the Crown Prince who looked serious with his words.

“Your Majesty, we can ask old man Pai to send it back to the palace, after all, it won’t last too long, we can’t keep it for ourselves”

“Still, what if you complain later?”

“No, Your Majesty, here, try this apple, it also tastes so good, we have lots of them, does Your Majesty want Ying to cut it for Your Majesty?” asked Bai Ying handing the red apple in front of the Crown Prince.

Luo Xiang look at the boy for while, instead of taking the apple, he held Bai Ying’s hand and brought it close to his mouth, biting it with a big mouth.

“Emh, that’s delicious.”

Bai Ying couldn’t pull his hand away.

“See, it also grows in the citizens’ gardens, shall we also bring it to the palace? Will all this fit on the train?”

“Of course, it can fit, my Ying Ying, but, there’s no need to carry it, either way, any fruit will taste really good.”

Bai Ying looked at the Crown Prince with his big eyes.

“Really, Your Highness? That’s right, any fruit that grows anywhere will be just as delicious, just a little different in taste.”

Luo Xiang pulled Bai Ying’s hand until his body fell on him.

“Well of course, because when I eat it I always see Ying Ying’s face, then all food will taste very good, whatever it is” The Crown Prince’s slurred words made Bai Ying unable to hide his embarrassment, smiling until his face was red.

Bai Ying pushed the Crown Prince’s chest away from him, but Luo Xiang caught his small wrist. He pulled the young man’s body and kissed his cheek.

Chup.

“See? It tastes so sweet.”

Bai Ying pushed the Crown Prince’s body away from him.

“Your Majesty, please stop teasing Ying er.”

Luo Xiang pulled Bai Ying’s waist as the young man was about to stand up, looking at his eyes very closely.

“Em, do, Ying Ying, don’t mind if your brother tries to approach you again? What does Ying Ying think about this brother of yours?”

Bai Ying clenched his two small hands in front of Luo Xiang’s chest so as not to get too close to him, staring at the handsome man’s face for a long time, watching him carefully trying to think about what he had forgotten, and, the man’s eyes did seem to harbour very deep feelings for him. When he saw him, his chest would tremble violently, his blood boiled and his stomach queasy, don’t know what happened. It was probably due to his internal injuries, although, all those intense feelings made his chest warm.

Bai Ying raised one hand, caressing the Crown Prince’s large cheek. Luo Xiang closed his eyes and touched Bai Ying’s hand, feeling the soft touch on him.

“My Ying Ying”

“Your Majesty, I don’t know what I’ve forgotten, I wish I knew, but, it feels very warm and comfortable to be around Your Majesty, this, isn’t so bad”

Luo Xiang smiled, holding Bai Ying’s hand. and kissed the palm of his hand.

“So, did Ying Ying allow this brother of yours to chase after you? Proving that Ying Ying’s love is also deep down there.”

Bai Ying stuttered.

“Your Majesty, what does that mean, chasing after me? What, Your Majesty, want me to run?” Bai Ying asked innocently.

Luo Xiang smiled, he wrapped his arms around Bai Ying’s waist and pulled him closer to sit on his lap, staring at Bai Ying’s cute face until he tilted his head and kissed Bai Ying’s sweet lips.

‘Chup’ not once, but twice, three times.

Bai Ying didn’t feel like rejecting him, he returned the Crown Prince’s kiss which had made his chest boil, but, just as he was about to tilt his head to let the Crown Prince kiss him more comfortably, the man pulled his head away from him instead.

“Chup”

Bai Ying looked at Luo Xiang’s pair of deep eyes.

“Your Majesty”

Luo Xiang smiled, he lifted Bai Ying’s hand and kissed it.

“Brother will keep trying, until Ying Ying can remember our love well, as long as Ying Ying is willing to accept me, it doesn’t matter if it took time, brother will wait until that day comes.”

Bai Ying stuttered, his heartbeat running so fast, his stomach was hot, just a moment ago when the Crown Prince kissed him, his chest was beating too fast as if something tries pushed out of his body.

Well, whatever it is, although not really understand what it means, the Crown Prince’s eyes at him are so sincere, that he nodded slowly.

“Of course, Your Majesty, after all, I also have plenty of time.”

Luo Xiang smiled, he hugged Bai Ying’s body tightly with his two hands, spoiled, burying his head into his shoulder like a baby.

“Emm, My love Ying Ying”

“Em, Your Majesty, are we going through Xian Yang city? Ying er misses Grandpa Po a lot, I wonder how he is now?” Bai Ying asked.

If it wasn’t mentioned by Bai Ying, Luo Xiang might have forgotten the old man, he even remembered that fart old man but not him, how annoying is that?

“Heh, what should you remember about him and forgot about me, this brat”
