CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

112 Third Wheel

LuoXiang shook his head, his eyes sharp, he was still looking around trying to find BaiYing among the guests, the boy disappeared so fast, he must have been looking for food with his servants.

“No, no, no, whatever the reason, no way, it’s still good I didn’t kick her out of my palace because of how many times she injured Concubine Hua, that person is really ignorant, still dares to ask for something beyond her reach, who does she think she is, where else is the kid?” after grumbling the Crown Prince left the Queen who was still stuttering.

“Xiang’er ask permission to leave Mother”

“B-but Xiang’er, then what?”

“No! Tell her to stay where she is now or get out of here!” cried the Crown Prince who while walk away from her.

“Ugh that kid”

.....

Meanwhile outside the hall.

“Come on, Sis, we’ll run out,” said BaiYing excitedly, running towards the buffet table on the sidelines. The young man was so hastily approaching the long table with so many cakes on the table that he didn’t notice the way.

.....

“Bukkk!”

“Ahh” he bumped into someone, almost fell if the person didn’t hold him.

“Your Majesty, don’t run around,” shouted Yan and BI who later approached.

BaiYing smiled, very grateful to the person holding his body or else he would fall down ridiculously and embarrassingly, this concubine’s clothes did limit his steps.

“Hehe thank you” he lifted his head and found the person who was already smiling widely in front of him, an old man with a big smile that made his cheeks swell and his eyes disappear.

“Hehehe Your Highness Concubine Hua, please watch your step and be careful” he YueWang, BaiYing swallowed hard, he often heard stories from the Crown Prince about senior advisors returning to work and he had a chance to see him today, how could he recognize them?

He was YueWang, said to be a powerful senior advisor in his old age. But the look in that man’s eyes was quite frightening, for some reason don’t really like it, as if something dark try to resurface after being lept too long.

Yan and Bi helped BaiYing straighten up as YueWang released his grip from BaiYing’s waist, those wrinkled hands touched him, not a weak person, he had quite the strength.

“Eh, thank you Advisor”

YueWang clenched his fists in front of his chest in salute for a while, then after seeing BaiYing’s face with a slightly horrifying look, BaiYing thought that because he knew the sly person, the man excused himself and continued on his way, followed by several of his servants, especially a man with a large round body, an expressionless face with two sharp like a swords eyebrows who glanced at him for a moment.

Yan helped to clean BaiYing’s clothes which were a bit dirty from falling down earlier. While the young man’s eyes were still on YueWang until the man and his entourage headed towards the exit after the official event ended.

“Your Majesty, are you alright?” Bi asked, BaiYing nodded.

“It’s okay, let’s go there”

Not wanting to think too much, BaiYing continued on his way to the sidelines.

Soon BaiYing and his two maids were busy picking out the many dishes on the table, even the young man asked Yan to bring a large basin to put the food to take back to the pavilion.

“This one, Your Majesty must like it very much, it tastes sweet and salty”

Yan glanced at the cake not far behind the table among the others.

“That one is Your Majesty, it tastes good, it has peanuts in it.”

BaiYing’s eyes widened, he likes all kinds of peanut cakes, especially sweet ones.

“This one? It looks really good.”

The young man did not hesitate to bring home so many sweet desserts, his saliva could drip if he didn’t remember the many people there, he was just about to continue his way through the table without seeing his way until someone blocked his way.

“Eh sorry excuse me” when he lifted his face, there was AYa who’s standing in his way, the girl glanced at the contents of the basin in Yan’s hand, then looked at BaiYing.

“You really like cake, don’t you, I have so many of them in my room, the cake from Kili must be different from YueYang’s”

BaiYing stuttered, it was the first time he saw the girl talking to him, only to realize that she had never spoken more than three words to him.

“Eh t-that”

AYa pointed at BaiYing’s personal maid.

“Or if you don’t ask your servant to take it, they can help my servant bring my clothes to your pavilion.”

BaiYing was still stunned, he listened to what the girl said until he frowned deeply.

“Hah?” he asked.

AYa took some cakes beside her, stuffed them into Yan’s basin.

“Yeah, bring all my clothes, I need all of them, also my makeup, some weapons”

BaiYing scratched his head.

“Um, what do you mean? Why move all Your clothes to my pavilion? Do you really want to move there, don’t you?” he asked, waiting for the princess’s answer for a moment. That’s impossible right, the princess wants to live with him especially since he already knows that it’s a boy, but the young girl nodded.

“Yeah right”

The young man still didn’t understand, he turned to his maids who also shrugged their shoulders at the same time.

“Don’t know”

“You really think Plum Pavilion is an inn, find your own house!” cried the Crown Prince, who was already approaching BaiYing, immediately lifting his arm around the young man’s shoulder and pulling him close to him.

“YingYing, let’s go home, the event is over.”

BaiYing looked at the Crown Prince, tilted his head slightly at the aYa who had not shifted in front of him.

“I will tell Her Majesty the Queen”

The princess’s words made the Crown Prince look at her with sharp eyes, how impudent the princess was, who she thought was always threatening the same thing.

“Do you want to die?”

BaiYing held the Crown Prince’s chest as the young man pressed towards princess aYa as if he was about to eat her with his big round eyes.

“Your Majesty don’t be like that”

Princess aYa looked a little nervous, but she restrained herself, her will was much stronger than her fear, she crossed her arms in front of her chest.

“I can die, but, the truth will still be revealed, let me stay in Plum pavilion for a few days until I return to Kili, that’s all”

The Crown Prince restrained himself, at least the girl said the word go home.

“You’re really going home after a few days?”

Princess aYa nodded.

The Crown Prince glanced at BaiYing’s maids, Yan and Bi.

“You guys, are there still vacant rooms in the pavilion?” he asked, the two maids lowering their knees while nodding.

“There’s Your Majesty, at the back of the mansion there’s still one room but it’s never been used before, it’s a bit dirty, eh, and sometimes, there are mice, eh, there are also some insects.”

The Crown Prince nodded his head.

“Looks like a suitable place, you guys just clean it up and give it to this princess”

Yan and Bi nodded at the same time.

“Yes Your Majesty”

.......

Not long after,

The days of Princess aYa invading BaiYing’s room began,

When BaiYing and the Crown Prince were sitting in the living room together chatting, the girl joined in close to them, like a ghost who saw the Crown Prince’s face with her dark gaze,

“Oowh my!” BaiYing was surprised.

As BaiYing and the Crown Prince sat alone in front of the terrace enjoying the evening stars, the princess sat down not far from them.

“Tonight there are quite a lot of stars, Your Majesty, look over there, it’s so bright,” BaiYing said pointing to the dark sky above.

The Crown Prince pulled BaiYing closer while looking at the princess intently, she pretended to be enjoying her evening hot tea but actually, her goal was to keep an eye on the Crown Prince and BaiYing.

When BaiYing was enjoying the flowers in the garden in the afternoon, the princess came with him, not wanting to be far away and always clinging to him, for somehow BaiYing’s goosebumps seeing the girl’s gaze on him, it was a bit scary.

Okay, it just for a few days, it won’t be long, the princess will definitely go, that was the thought of the Crown Prince who walked into the Plum Pavilion in a very tired condition after working all day, his brain was so tired, he had used it all day and had not seen his beloved BaiYing face for a bit.

After finishing his quick bath, the Crown Prince came into the room, saw BaiYing who was sleeping sideways on the bed covering his body with the blanket. That night was indeed very cold, and he had not hugged BaiYing for a long time because lately, the young man was always complaining that he was too hot for sleep too close on him.

“Hoh my YingYing” he pushed aside the blanket, raised his body directly behind BaiYing, wrapped his big arms around BaiYing’s slender waist.

“My YingYing, I really miss you” although, it feels like the young man’s waist has never been that slim, and his body is much smaller, does he diet? That impossible, he love to eat, The smell, it wasn’t BaiYing’s smell, LuoXiang’s closed eyes wide open, it wasn’t his BaiYing.

Immediately the Crown Prince was about to get up, but a voice from the door startled him first.

“Your Majesty!” BaiYing’s voice screamed in disbelief at what he saw at that moment.

The Crown Prince opened his eyes wide, saw BaiYing who was standing in front of the door and saw who was beside him, without thinking he got up from the bed and walked away, on the bed, there was Princess AYa who was now up and sitting, she saw the Crown Prince, and saw BaiYing with teary eyes, without thinking the girl got off the bed and walked towards BaiYing who was still stunned.

.....

“Ying!” The girl hugged him tightly.

The still surprised Crown Prince pulled BaiYing’s hand away from the girl.

“What are you doing in YingYing’s room? Let off your hugs, you such...”

BaiYing looked at the Crown Prince sharply, he let go of the Crown Prince’s grip, he stuttered and didn’t know what to say.

“That th-, what is Your Majesty doing? I-if you want to do it please don’t do it in my room.”

Misunderstood, LuoXiang tried to say that but the young man had already seen him hugging someone else, that girl, that snake girl. Not wanting to wait for his long explanation, BaiYing turned his body out the door.

“Let’s sleep in your room sis Yan, sis Bi” said BaiYing,

The Crown Prince tried to chase after him, several times grabbing BaiYing’s hand but always being pushed away.

“YingYing, listen to me, it was a misunderstanding, I thought it was YingYing on the bed.”

He chased BaiYing out of the house to the maid’s mess.

“YingYing, listen to me first.”

While in the room, Princess aYa smirked, her initial plan worked, she exclaimed in her heart.
