CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

107 Fell to the Lake

BaiYing’s body fell lightly like an overripe fruit, from a tall tree trunk straight to the ground, however, someone held right before he touched the ground, precisely carrying his body with two big hands, who else but the Crown Prince.

“Bukk!!”

He was there very quickly, a few seconds ago there was no one there.

“Y-Your Majesty” couldn’t hide his fear, BaiYing wrapped his two arms around LuoXiang’s neck tightly and buried his head into his shoulder.

“You really love to climb trees, how many times have you wanted to fall, should I always have to save you?”

BaiYing stuttered the Crown Prince’s big embrace made him feel very safe, and the young man looked at him deeply at BaiYing’s bright face so close.

“If you can’t climb a tree, don’t go up, you’re always endangering yourself.”

“Your Majesty” BaiYing tried to get down, his two maids immediately came near him.

“Your Majesty, are you all right?”

.....

BaiYing waved his hand, wherein there was a bruise from the stone-throwing that knocked his grip off.

“It hurts a little, but it’s okay.”

The Crown Prince grabbed BaiYing’s hand, his eyes wide.

“Ck, how can you get hurt like this? Who hurt you?”

BaiYing shook his head quickly.

“No, no one hurt me, it’s because I wasn’t careful just now.”

“You are always careless, let’s go back to the pavilion, today’s event is over”

Without too much word LuoXiang grabs BaiYing’s hand towards his resting area.

“B-But Your Majesty, my kite is still stuck there” BaiYing exclaimed.

The Crown Prince glanced at BeiYau.

“Bei”

The young bodyguard nodded his head.

“Yes Your Majesty”

The Crown Prince’s hand kept pulling BaiYing away,

“Your Majesty we still have a picnic after this, the food is already being prepared” BaiYing shouted,

“No need, we can just eat in the pavilion, it’s already half a day you could get sick from being outside for too long.”

BaiYing pursed his lips.

“But Your Majesty”

AYa who was still standing behind the tree swallowed her saliva, it’s clear that the concubine saw her throwing stones at him but he acted like nothing. She stepped out of the tree following the group back to the pavilion, her two servants following him.

“Princess, wait for us”

...

The next day,

BaiYing and his two maids seemed to be enjoying their event by the LuiHe lake, the pleasant and sunny air that morning supported their plan to sit there enjoying the scenery.

“Look at that one, it’s funny how different the color is from the others,” said BaiYing, pointing at the group of ducks swimming side by side in the middle of the lake.

Kuakk kuakk kuakk!

Yan approached while carrying the cute bunny they had brought from the pavilion.

“Here Your Majesty”

BaiYing immediately picked up the rabbit and placed it on his lap.

“Oh he’s so cute”

While the three of them were enjoying the sunny air that morning, several people came from the end of the road.

BaiYing was seriously playing with his bunny when footsteps with beautifully embroidered shoes stopped in front of him.

“Wow, someone is enjoying the fresh air here” She is aYa and her two servants.

BaiYing raised his head, the beautiful girl in Kili’s majestic clothes was already standing with her chin high in front of him, almost stepping his bunny’s tail, BaiYing lifted it and turned his body to another direction, would just ignore the person who seemed to be following him for days.

BaiYing’s two maids only saluted for a while then returned to paying no heed.

The two of them were busy making masks and lotions to fill their free time while changing the atmosphere outside the pavilion while taking a walk.

“This is mashed first, okay?” Bi said, Yan nodded, both of them had been taught by BaiYing so they didn’t need supervision from him anymore.

Aya looks a little annoyed, her face is always like that, even though she is so beautiful but the girl almost never smiles a bit, she sits on a rock not far behind BaiYing.

“Why here? Can’t it just be in the pavilion?” She asked, but BaiYing ignored her question.

“ich this guy” imagine how she was not annoyed, the princess spoke to herself.

Yan glanced at BaiYing, raised his hand to ask the young man to come closer.

“Eh Your Majesty, how about after this?” asked the young servant.

BaiYing frowned, even though he had taught and even written down all the steps, but the two servants sometimes forgot the details, he put the rabbit down from his lap and approached Yan.

“Here, add a little flower essence water, don’t add too much, it’s just needed to make it quite smooth.”

BaiYing was so busy squatting in front of his two maids that he didn’t notice that Princess AYa was approaching the bunny behind him, the girl with the tip of her hand slightly disdainfully raising the little rabbit by its ear, its little nose moved as if want to sniff her.

“What’s so interesting about this dirty rabbit? Hugged, kissed,” the rabbit was silent for a moment until it suddenly struggled because the princess kept holding it. Its sudden movement made aYa surprised that she threw the rabbit into the lake.

“Byusshhh!”

The sound of objects falling into the water made BaiYing and others turn their heads, BaiYing’s eyes widened, he looked at Princess AYa and where the bunny should be and turned towards the lake where the sound came from, how surprised he was to see the little rabbit tried to wriggle on the surface of the water.

“Oh no, XiaoBai!”

BaiYing who panicked didn’t know what to do, the bunny definitely couldn’t swim, without thinking too long he ran towards the water and jumped into the lake.

“Your Majesty!” His two maids were too late to stop him, BaiYing had already plopped into the lake trying to grab the tiny rabbit which had then drowned in front of him.

The maids panicked, what should they do? Neither of them can swim.

BaiYing came up to the surface with the bunny in his arms, which must have been all over his body until his face was wet, but he still managed to smile, hugging the bunny who looked fine.

“Hehehe thank God”

Princess aYa froze in place, she couldn’t move to see what happened so fast before her eyes, while the maids helped him up to the shore with all his clothes already soaked wet.

“Your Majesty, what are you doing? See all your bodies are wet, ouch, we have to hurry back to the pavilion” said Bi holding BaiYing’s hand which was shaking from the cold.

“Hehe it’s fine sis, fortunately, XiaoBai is okay” he still had time to glance at aYa who was still standing in her position, but the look in his eyes made the princess gulp, he didn’t blame her, just silently look at her.

“Your Majesty is freezing, ouch, we don’t bring any more coats,” Yan worried.

“Princess” aMi approached her princess, she was also worried after seeing what happened.

.........

Towards dark, return to the Plum pavilion.

Yan and Bi thrust the hot soup in front of BaiYing who was already sitting on his bed, after taking a hot bath and changing clothes, and curling up in the blanket, he still freezing.

“Your Majesty, is it still cold?” Yan asked to take BaiYing’s hand and rub it, BaiYing couldn’t hide it, his face was pale and his body was shaking constantly, he lost his body heat so fast of course he was shivering with cold now, this is really bad.

Bi lit a fire to burn the heater in the stove that was placed near the bed.

“That person is really outrageous, how could he throw XiaoBai into the middle of the lake and make His Majesty have to jump in to save him, I don’t know what going to happen if His Highness the Crown Prince found out”

“What should I find out?” suddenly a voice from the door.

“His Highness the Crown Prince arrived!” cried the housekeeper, and his voice was late.

The Crown Prince had already entered the room by then, he was still standing quietly after entering the room but frowned at the sight of BaiYing who was sitting curled up on his bed. The young man rushed over.

“YingYing what’s wrong with you?”

He took BaiYing’s shaking cold hands and rubbed them, BaiYing shook his head, glancing at his maids.

“Eh n-nothing Your Majesty, s-servant just, accidentally fell into the lake”

Princess aYa and her maid were already standing in front of the door, after intending to bring hot soup in a basket that is now in aMi’s hand, the princess could only stand outside without daring to come close.

LuoXiang worried, he touched BaiYing’s cold cheek.

.....

“You, how did you fall into the lake? LuiHe Lake is very cold, look at your very pale face, ouch this kid” he pulled BaiYing’s body and hugged him tightly, he could still feel how his skinny body was shaking from the cold, as best he could, the Crown Prince buried his whole body giving all his body heat while rubbing the young man’s back.

“Yan, Bi, add the firewood, how can YingYing tremble like this? and hurry, call the Physician Wan here.”

The two young maids lowered their bodies in salute.

“Yes Your Majesty”

It was so cold, this was beyond BaiYing’s mind, he thought it wouldn’t be a problem because this morning the sun was shining on LuiHe lake, but now he couldn’t move at all due to shaking, even speaking was difficult because he was shivering.

“Heh this stupid boy”

The Crown Prince removed the outer layer of his clothes and hugged BaiYing tightly again.

“How could you even think of jumping into the water at a time like this, you could freeze to death, what a stupid kid”
