CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

392 Where It Came From?

Chen Ming still looks uncomfortable, like the Crown Prince, he does don’t really like the crowded place with no one he recognized, they are all strangers.

Young master Xu’s personal servant glanced at his young master, who seemed to be still sitting in his chair even though he was about to stand up. He came closer and whispered.

“Em, Young Master, then, are we going home?” he whispered.

Young master Xu gulped down his saliva, but his gaze couldn’t take his eyes off the bright face of the young man sitting in front of him.

Luo Xiang clean up Bai Ying’s face from the hair while the kid was busy eating.

“This kid, don’t eat your hair”

The boys just laugh as his eyes disappeared from it.

“Hehehe”

The boy widened his eyes after seeing the servant put a big bowl of soup quite far from his reach.

.....

“Em look over there, why did they put it so far away, just a moment Your Highness, I’ll go get it.”

Bai Ying glanced at the bowl of soup in front of Young Master Xu. Instead of asking the help from the waiter to pick it up, the boy got up from his seat.

“Ying Ying where are you going?” Luo Xiang asked holding Bai Ying’s hand.

But Bai Ying is still headed towards Young Master Xu.

“Just a moment Your Highness, I’ll just go get it”

The young man was very excited, like a hot worm that kept moving here and there. He headed towards young master Xu who opened his eyes wide, the boy approached him quickly. Nervous young master Xu stood up from his seat, as soon as Bai Ying managed to grab the large bowl of hot soup that was in front of young master Xu. Without the two of them being able to dodge the bowl hit young master Xu’s body until all the gravy spilt out, along with the bowl soaking Bai Ying’s hands and young master Xu’s clothes.

“Ah!”

Bai Ying was surprised, especially the hot gravy was soaking his hands. The gravy was still steaming hot and made him stunned where he was. Luo Xiang was too late, pulled Bai Ying’s hand towards him and check on him, looking at young master Xu with big angry eyes.

“Insolent!”

Luo Xiang’s loud voice made everyone turn their heads towards him. Bai Ying was still stunned in his place shocked by what had just happened, his hands and clothes slightly wet. The bowl containing a lot of soup that was so delicious just spilt all over the floor, all because he was not careful, he’s wept for the spilt gravy.

“Oh my”

While Luo Xiang was worrying about him and checking his body, the steam from the hot gravy was still visible on his clothes and hands but the boy didn’t feel anything.

Young master Xu still had time to groan in the heat because the gravy had also hit his clothes which pierced his stomach. His personal maid immediately checked on him.

“Young Master, oh dear are you alright?” the young man looked worried.

Young master Xu was still about to reach out his hand to grab Bai Ying but Luo Xiang’s hand brushed it off and pushed him away.

Chen Ming checked his brother who was still dumbfounded.

“Brother, you are so reckless, see what you are doing? All the gravy was spilt right, this child, there are so many servants here, why do you have to take it by yourself?” instead of checking his brother, the Prince got angry, he was not worried about Bai Ying but regretted that such delicious gravy was wasted.

From the crowds of guests who had gathered to see the scene that made everyone look at there, appeared Li Mo. He widened his eyes and immediately approached Luo Xiang and others.

“Please pardon me, Your Majesty, wh- what is Your Majesty doing here? How come this happen? Waiter!”

Luo Xiang folded his sleeves. Hooking one hand behind his waist he stood with his back to young master Xu and held Bai Ying’s hand.

“Come on Ying Ying, you’ve made a lot of trouble already.”

He took Bai Ying’s hand away. Li Mo stuttered, what happened? With gravy and bowls on the floor. The old man caught up with Luo Xiang immediately.

“Y-Your...e Young master”

Bai Ying’s face wrinkled, he was just about to enjoy the delicious food in front of him, why did the Crown Prince just pull him away?

“Your Majesty, I haven’t eaten yet, we haven’t enjoyed any food, why should we go?” the young man grumbled all the way.

“Do you still need to eat here? See what you’re doing? This kid.”

Li Mo tried to keep up with Luo Xiang’s steps, who looked angry, even though his expression was flat.

“Eh Your Majesty, I will send all the food to the bungalow, Your Majesty the Crown Prince and the King can enjoy it there”

“No need uncle, this child is just agitated.”

As they walked towards the exit of the Li family mansion hall, there was another loud sound that made Bai Ying turn his head.

“Prang!”

A loud sound of falling objects came from inside the mansion.

Li Mo turned his head, and opened his eyes wide, thinking what else was going on in there? Why is the noise so loud?

“Ouch, Li Su what happened?”

Bai Ying withdrew his hand from the Crown Prince’s grip, making Luo Xiang turn to him.

“What else?” he asked.

“Em Your Majesty, something seems to have happened there, let’s have a look first”

“That’s none of our business, lets go”

Luo Xiang was about to grab Bai Ying’s hand who had hurriedly turned his body towards the mansion again, the child was so stubborn.

“Hey Ying Ying!”

Inside the great hall. Everyone gathered around Young Master Xu who was standing with angry faces in front of a young servant who had fallen on the floor.

“Who are you?” he cried angrily.

But the young servant girl looked scared, fell down after being pushed by young master Xu, at first, the young servant was about to help her clean up her clothes which were soiled by the spilt soup, but somehow young master Xu suddenly pushed her down.

The girl fell down with a shaking back, she was a servant girl with half a burnt face.

Li Mo who emerged from within the crowd immediately approached. No servant dared to approach young master Xu who was furious at that time, no one knew what he could do.

“Oh little girl, why are you sitting on the floor, let’s get up.” Li Mo helped the little skinny girl get up. The girl waved her hand as if to tell Li Mo what had happened. Li Mo pursed his lips, he turned to his butler to take the servant away.

“Ne Ma bring this child back to rest okay?”

Li Mo approached Your Master Xu who still stood in his place. The old man glances at his son Li Su to ask the other guests to get back to their seat.

“Please gentlemen, come enjoy the food, we still have plenty, its all signature dish from Xi Yang and Gao as my ancestor, it’s really delicious”

“That Master Xu is really scary, how can he push a young girl like that?”

“Yeah that’s not what a real man should do, bullied young weak girl”

The guests already make some words on that. Li Su turns his head a bit to look at his father and the girl maid servant. Don’t know what he thinks but he has something in his eyes looking at what just happened.

Bai Ying and the Crown Prince emerged from the crowd, seeing the servant girl slowly getting up from her fall, her whole body seemed to be soaked by the spill from the water basin she had previously used to clean young master Xu’s clothes.

Li Mo looks tray to calm the Young Master Xu down.

“Young Master, don’t get mad like that, she is just a little maid, please forgive her impertinent”

Young Master Xu still looks at the girl who moves with the other maids, he looks at his palm, to be sure what had just happened, and why his hand is a bit blistered from a very short incident? As he recalls the hot soup didn’t spill on his hand.

The maid pass in front of Bai Ying and other.

“Pity her body is wet,” said Bai Ying. He saw an emaciated servant girl with half her face burnt to shreds, who had turned to look at him. Bai Ying’s eyes went wide, shining red for a moment. A pair of girl’s eyes that looked at him, suddenly made his chest tremble.

“Dug!”

And suddenly he hears a loud voice like the screams of a bird in his head, so loud.

He almost stumbled backwards while holding his chest, Luo Xiang held his body.

“Ying Ying what’s wrong?” he asked anxiously.

Bai Ying didn’t know what was happening, but his chest was beating fast as if he felt an intense energy, the huge energy like he’s, but, where did it come from?

The young man looked around the room, which was indeed filled with the Li family’s guests, from officials to top-class fighters, that great power, must be among them. Or, the girl? Where is he? But, that’s impossible, right?

Bai Ying grabbed the Crown Prince’s sleeve. His legs started to feel weak.

“Your Majesty, let’s go back”

Luo Xiang nodded, he held Bai Ying’s hand to help him walk towards the door.

“Yeah, let’s just go back”
