CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

80 Who Dare ?

At night.

BaiYing rested his head, on the Crown Prince’s back which make him comfortable, as soon as he entered the door where BaiYing was already sitting dreamily on his bed waiting for him.

The Crown Prince smiled.

He caressed BaiYing’s head gently.

“Are you tired?”

The flat and deep calm voice of the Crown Prince who could actually make BaiYing’s nerves loosen a bit, he was so tired, both his body and mind, he nodded.

“Yeah, I’m so tired, how long do I have to deceive everyone?”

The Crown Prince smiled, he turned his body and held BaiYing’s cheeks with his two wide hands, looking at BaiYing’s sad and restless eyes.

“We’ll tell everyone, after all this Bloodstone matter is over, then” LuoXiang grabbed BaiYing’s hand, clasping it.

.....

“When that time comes, I will introduce you to everyone as HuaBaiYing”

BaiYing lowered his head to the Crown Prince’s chest, he took a deep breath.

“Heh, will they be able to accept me? Will the Queen? I don’t have anyone else now, worst of all, I will be sentenced to death, but I always have a bad dream that Yan and Bi will also get punished with me, this is purely my own crime, I hope that they are not involved in anything related to me.”

The Crown Prince stroked BaiYing’s back, kissing the young man’s forehead gently.

“Chup”

“I won’t let that happen YingYing, even with my life, I won’t let you get hurt in the slightest, you have to trust me okay?”

BaiYing just put his head down and stayed silent with a distant gaze ahead, he could hear the Crown Prince’s heartbeat which was rather fast when he was with him, as was his heart which running at the same speed trying to keep up with him.

“Heh” he breathed again, while the Crown Prince’s arms wrapped around his entire body clinging to him.

BaiYing then lowered his body and slept on the Crown Prince’s lap.

“Is this comfortable? You want to sleep?” asked the Crown Prince.

BaiYing nodded, he closed his eyes.

“Yeah, this is comfortable”

“Then go to sleep, close your eyes” whispered LuoXiang stroking BaiYing’s front hair and kissing his forehead again.

“Em, how did His Majesty know about LoMa’s arrival?” Bai Ying asked.

The Crown Prince lifted BaiYing’s hand, kissing his slender fingers one by one.

“Em, Bi told me, your maid was so brave, she came to the Imperial palace and broke through the strict security, that innocent girl was almost put in jail by Father for breaking into an Official meeting”

The Crown Prince remembered how he and the Emperor were enjoying drinking their tea and there was a noise outside, it turned out that Bi was already kneeling with a worried face looking at the Crown Prince, she was almost crying.

“Y-Your Highness”

BaiYing smiled.

“Hey, they are really willing to do anything for me, I didn’t even think that way, but, so lucky that Bi go there, or otherwise, maybe I have lost my head now”

LuoXiang smiled.

He caressed BaiYing’s delicate cheeks.

.....

Previously outside the Peach pavilion.

BeiYau stood beside the Crown Prince who was watching LoMa kneeling in front of him so intently that the woman didn’t dare to move.

“Your Majesty.”

The Crown Prince glanced at the trembling old woman.

“Bei, give her a bag of gold and send her out of the palace, but wait, em, that won’t be right either, this will only be temporary” while the Crown Prince was still thinking the old woman lowered her head again.

“Forgive this servant, Your Majesty, I don’t know anything, servant will follow Your Majesty’s orders, please forgive this servant, Your Majesty, please forgive me.”

The Crown Prince took a deep breath, however, this problem would surely arise one day. BeiYau approached, they both walked away.

“Your Majesty, the Hua family house construction is almost finished, all of the master’s pets, uh I mean concubine Hua’s has also been returned to its place”

The Crown Prince waved his hand.

“Good job Bei”

“Em Young Master rabbit, er I mean Concubine Hua just gave birth to five cute bunnies”

The Crown Prince turned his head.

“Really? This is very good news, YingYing will definitely like it very much, take some to Plum Pavilion, Bei”

The Crown Prince and BeiYau walked away leaving the old woman still kneeling where she was, she slowly raised her head, finding a bag of money that looked quite heavy in front of her, without a second thought the woman took the money bag and stood up.

“Thank you, Your Majesty”

The sun set in its place, while the Crown Prince and BeiYau walked slowly followed by his guards and servants leaving the Peach pavilion area, two guards escorted the old woman out.

The Crown Prince swiveled his arms wide up and down.

“Bei you should try the massage, that woman’s hands even though she’s old but she’s quite strong too, ouch, these stiff muscles, you can call her again next time”

BeiYau glanced behind where the woman had been taken away.

“Your Majesty, isn’t it dangerous? What if she said something, that, uh...”

“Relax Bei, what can she say? If she dares to speak, just cut off her tongue, will she challenge me?”

BeiYau nodded his head.

“Yes Your Majesty”

.....

The next day.

Peony Field that morning was busy with preparations for the equestrian training of the concubines, including BaiYing, finally, he was able to join the training too, but the eyes of the Crown Prince who was sitting casually on the side of the field kept watching him, that person, really has nothing else to do?

That morning he asked CiaoTi and other officers to bring all the reports to the Peony field because he was bored and wanted to change the atmosphere. That’s just an excuse, actually, it’s because he wanted to keep an eye on BaiYing. While the officers had not yet arrived. The Crown Prince was sitting leisurely in his chair enjoying morning tea and snacks on the table that the maid had prepared, Bei was standing not far behind him.

“Are the horses tame Bei?” asked the Crown Prince, worried about BaiYing who seemed to be having a bit of trouble controlling his horse, sitting atop a large white horse, the keeper of the horses, old man Lie leading the reins.

“Indeed, Your Majesty, all the horses used for training are horses that have been in the palace for a long time, so it’s safe”

BaiYing stroked the neck of the white horse which seemed to be quite young, its muscles were not as big as the other horses that other concubines used for training, he was already imagined that he would ride a horse like the tall Crown Prince’s the last time he rode it together.

“Wow she’s so pretty, what’s her name, old man Lie?”

The old man whose hair was already gray with age, and who still enjoyed doing his job as a horse handler for decades in the Crown Prince’s palace and was not ready to retire smiled as he bowed his head to BaiYing.

“Report Your Majesty, her name is Xiao’er, she is female and very docile, Your Majesty doesn’t need to worry that Xiao’er will rebel, she is very docile and gentle”

BaiYing smiled, he stroked the neck of the white horse which did look very docile.

“Hehehe she’s so cute, Xiao’er, today you will accompany me”
