CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

151 Young Prince

“Master Shin, what do you think? After you saw that kid with your own eyes?” asked LuoXiang, ShinYa bowing his head.

“Report Your Majesty, hem” he stroked his chin thoughtfully until his brows furrowed.

“That young man does have a bit of a royal family aura on his body, although, the color is not light orange like His Highness the Young Prince, he’s more dark purple, dark purple, is a symbol of intelligence, not so bright but, there is a possibility, that kid still has the blood of the WahYe palace’s core family, at least he didn’t cheat on his identity, it just, I also think, it is very strange that suddenly Young Prince WahYe, can travel so far as to SanPo, SuiLian city, or the deep jungle in the valley SuiLian is very far away, not to mention a lot of bandits along the way, it must be very difficult to get out and go to SanPo alone”

LuoXiang frowned, looking at ShinYa back.

“So, do you think I should accept him or not?” he asked again.

ShinYa thought, looking at the Crown Prince for a moment, he lowered his head clenching his two hands in front of saluting the Crown Prince.

“This, is up to Your Highness the Crown Prince’s choice”

....

Towards evening, LuoXiang and BaiYing sat in the living room waiting for ChenMing to arrive after cleaning himself up, while the young man would occupy an empty room in the guest pavilion beside Plum’s pavilion.

.....

BaiYing straightened his seat looking at the shadow approaching the door of the living room, a person who was now slowly walking into the room, a young man, tall, thin, with a clean and shining face, long hair that was neatly tied with a golden ribbon, clothes that matched his body shape, tall, with a clean face, pale white and handsome, at a glance, his stature looks like BaiYing’s when he wears his young master’s clothes, LuoXiang thought as he saw the young man come in and stop in front of him, the boy also claimed to be sixteen years old just like BaiYing, both faces, looks similar, though not the same.

BaiYing gulped down his saliva, ChenMing was now looking at him closely.

“Your Highness Concubine Hua” he greeted as BaiYing didn’t take his eyes off the youth either, BaiYing averted his eyes, realizing he had seen too long.

LuoXiang gripped BaiYing’s hand tightly.

“YingYing”

........

The next day, BaiYing invited ChenMing to enjoy the weather with him in the valley, that was the Crown Prince’s said to him so the young man would get used to it and not get bored, why need to get used to it? Did he really plan to stay longer in the palace?

Last night’s conversation in Baiying Room, who was sitting propped up beside LuoXiang on their bed.

“Your Majesty, do, that Young Master ChenMing will stay here all the time? What is Your Majesty is thinking of?” BaiYing asked, LuoXiang furrowed his brows, seeing that the young man who saw him was silent.

“Thinking of what? Is there anything to think about? He is only a child, what can he do?”

BaiYing thought, he sat up straight looking at LuoXiang’s serious face, but no, he knew the Crown Prince so well to know that person full of mystery in his brilliant mind, who had never done anything that was beyond his plans, let alone a very important matter like this.

“Your Highness, do, Your Majesty, perhaps, like the kid?” BaiYing asked, hearing that, LuoXiang stop his movement, thinking what the boy means, after realizing it, he tried to hold himself from bursting into laughter at the look on BaiYing’s face who saw him with furrowed brows until finally, LuoXiang laughed loudly.

“Hahahaha How could this kid even think up there? You are so weird, are, YingYing jealous?”

BaiYing pursed his lips in annoyance, the Crown Prince laugh at him instead answer his question.

“Your Majesty, how can I not be jealous, that child is so similar to servant, he’s thin, tall, big eyes, clean face, long brown hair, it’s strange that people who see him don’t like him, what, what should YingYing do, if, Your Majesty like him, and, forgetting about the grudge of my family, that would be very sad.” BaiYing’s face was gloomy, making LuoXiang laugh even harder, he pinched BaiYing’s adorable nose.

“This brat, am I so easy to like other boys, besides my YingYing who is so adorable, who do you think this Crown Prince is?”

BaiYing touched his nose because the Crown Prince was too fond of him.

“Your Majesty, I’m serious, Your Majesty don’t forget Your promise that said that you will help me find the killer of my family, what if, ems, Your Majesty forgets about it, how can Ying’er die peacefully? Later, in the afterlife, my mother will scold me for not being able to be a filial son in the family because I can’t take revenge, what if the first mother chases me with a rattan again in front of everyone?”

LuoXiang couldn’t help but laugh, BaiYing’s face and voice when he spoke were very funny, he made all levels of stress subside because of his cuteness, LuoXiang hugged BaiYing and tried to kiss him which made an angry face at him.

“Hahahaha this kid, why are you so adorable, how can I like other people when in my world a BaiYingYing is too much to fulfill everything, what else do I want, look, cute, adorable, funny face”

BaiYing pushed LuoXiang’s chest.

“Your Majesty is not funny, I am not a clown”

While walking with his servants and being escorted by several palace guards, BaiYing didn’t stop thinking, The Crown Prince obviously has his own plans for the young man who claims to be his cousin, indirectly, but according to the Crown Prince, the child must not know that he is also descendant of WahYe, do not know what he will do later, for now, it is better if the child kept thinking that BaiYing is a girl, and moreover, not the Young Prince of WahYe.

In the group, along with concubine Fu with him, the girl approached BaiYing and whispered to him.

“Eh Ying’er, does, he will stay in the palace for a long time? Is that really, your cousin? From your mother’s side of the family?” FuLan whispered, hearing that BaiYing’s eyes widened, he said no one should know about their relationship, then why did Lan’er know about this matter?

“Eh, sister how do you know?” asked Bai Ying.

“Em, uh, that, heard from Mr. ShinYa”

BaiYing widened his eyes, holding FuLan’s hand,

“What? Mr. Shin said that? That person, didn’t he already be told not to say anything? What if ChenMing finds out?”

FuLan looked at ChenMing, then looked at BaiYing, saw ChenMing again, BaiYing again.

“Em, after all, you guys are very similar”

“I’m not, which part is similar? Whatever, better if Ying’er plays kite.” BaiYing walked away from FuLan with a slightly annoyed face and approached his two maids who were already some distance in front with their big kites.

“Sister Yan, sis Bi, let’s fly the kite!”

ChenMing who was accompanied by two young maids provided by the Crown Prince approached FuLan, FuLan smiled, the young man’s face was indeed very attractive, for a moment Lan’er thought about what the boy going to do until the young man smiled broadly until his two eyes disappeared.

“Concubine Fu, you look so beautiful today, the sun is so hot, how about we find a shady place to rest?”

FuLan was amazed, ChenMing’s voice was so soft and pleasant to hear, the girl tucked her hair behind her ear and nodded.

“Hey, that’s a very good idea, lets go, Young Master Chen.”

Not long after, the two of them were sitting under a shady tree on a chair that the waiter had provided while enjoying their tea and snacks accompanied by a gentle breeze,

Ceklek.

ChenMing put his teacup on the placemat on the round table, this tea ceremony, very weird because he wasn’t used to it, Lan’er smiled at the young man.

“Do, Young Master, want to do something else? Little Ying loves flying kites, I think this is also a good time to enjoy the warm sun and fresh air and relieve boredom in the palace, Young Master, um, how long are you planning to stay in the palace? I Heard you came from SuiLian?”

ChenMing glanced at FuLan, the concubine who always wore a sweet face with a smile that never faded from her face actually knew better than she thought, the young man smiled.

“Ehm, not long, until my business is done”

FuLan put her teacup on the table.

“I heard that SuiLian is very far away, Young Master is so young but already traveled quite a distance on your own, I also heard there are also many bandits there, hem, then it’s better to just stay in SanPo, this city is safer, definitely no one will disturb you”

ChenMing turned his gaze towards the meadow, where BaiYing ran pulling his kite string up high above, it seemed like a lot of fun, but, how could such a beautiful concubine Hua be so fond of kite-flying basking in the sun, does he’s not afraid that his skin will get a sunburn? For some reason, that concubine really caught ChenMing’s attention.

“Eh, concubine Fu please don’t hesitate, just call me Ming’er, or MingMing”

Hearing that FuLan who had been talking for a while but didn’t listen to him, ChenMing smiled again.

“Hehe Ming Ming that’s good, that’s so cute”

ChenMing pointed at BaiYing who couldn’t help but run to and fro while pulling his kite string.

“Ehm what, concubine Hua is so fond of kite flying? It’s strange, it seems that playing kites like this is more suitable for boys than girls, right?”

FuLan stopped her movement, looked at ChenMing with her round eyes, bad, how about if that kid suspects that Concubine Hua is a boy? it’s because BaiYing who is itchy can’t stand himself from flying kites when someone else is there, after all, what the young man said was true, which girl would want to play a kite that would only make her skin black from the sunburn, though, that didn’t apply to BaiYing at all.

“Eh that, well, since Ying’er is a bit of a tomboy, she likes boys’ games, er, why, MingMing doesn’t like to play kites?” she asked back.

ChenMing lifted his teacup, drank it a little back, that game, a noble young prince like himself would play a kite like that, would just be a waste of his time.
