CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

534 Only One

Soon after that.

Bei Yau who was standing in the living chamber with Ciao Ti straightened their body and lowered their heads as the Crown Prince passed them. The two followed behind as the Crown Prince headed towards the door.

While in the room.

Bai Ying folded his clothes limply and put them in the cloth bag, his maids approached.

“Eh, Your Majesty, is it true that we can’t go with Your Majesty there? Then, who will prepare bath water for Your Majesty? And, how will Your Majesty set Your Majesty’s beautiful hair?” asked Bi. Yan nodded.

“Yes Your Majesty, what if Your Majesty is hungry and looking for a snack? Who will serve You there?” added Yan.

Bai Ying pursed his lips, he imagined that if no one were petrified to style his hair, he would look like a lion with messy hair, he must look like a hungry ghost that wondering for too long on the streets, not to mention his clothes, how if, in the middle of watching the match his clothes fell off because he didn’t tie them properly? What should he do? Thinking of all that made him go crazy.

“Arrrgh, how could that possibly happen?”

Yan and Bi looked at each other, both lowered their heads uninspired as they might not be able to go with concubine Hua again this time, they would be separate again.

.....

Bai Ying turned to his two maids, looking at the two with his big eyes.

“You can come with me,” he said.

Hearing this, the maids who had been gloomy raised their heads immediately. The two looked at each other afraid that they might have heard wrong.

“Really, Your Majesty? We can come along?” both exclaimed at the same time.

Bai Ying nodded.

“Of course, otherwise how can Ying take care of myself there, away from anyone, His Majesty said that Ying can bring a maid”

The two maids couldn’t hide their excitement, both of them almost jumped if they didn’t think they had to maintain a good attitude in front of concubine Hua.

“Oh, this is great Yan, we can go” Bi excited.

“Yeah, finally”

But, both of them fell silent, with Ying’s eyes on them closely, as if examining the two from underfoot to top of the head.

“But, only one of you, um, who do you think I can bring along with me?”

Hearing that the two maids widened their eyes wide, and both of them raised their hands together.

“Your Majesty, it’s me! Take me with Your Majesty!” said Yan.

“No Your Majesty, take me, yesterday I couldn’t protect Your Majesty outside the palace, this time let Bi come along.”

“No Your Majesty, just let me go”

And Bai Ying couldn’t help but sigh, the Crown Prince allowed him to bring maids but only one of them, one maid? Is it enough? This would be tantamount to asking him not to bring a maid, but, rather than not having one at all.

“Your Majesty, let me go with you, Your Majesty” and the two servants either because they were so itching to get out of the palace that they were fighting to go with him, or because they really loved him more than anything, his two sweet sisters, then, how could he choose one of them? This is very confusing.

...

“Her Highness Concubine Fu and concubine Lui arrived!” cried the doorman of the West Dragon pavilion.

The two concubines entered the living room where Bai Ying was sitting leisurely painting, he spent his time very relaxed considering he was leaving the palace tomorrow.

“Brother, what are you doing here? Shouldn’t you join His Highness the Crown Prince to visit the Emperor’s palace?” asked Lan er.

Bai Ying who was painting on the sheets of paper that had been scattered on the floor looked serious, he even bit the corner of his lips with sharp eyes as if he was very focused. The two concubines frowned at Yan and Bi who was standing behind Bai Ying holding brushes in their hands, both of them also about to paint apparently.

“Ying is busy sis, I am preparing our trip,” said Bai Ying.

Fan er tilted her head to see what Bai Ying painted very seriously.

“Em, Xiao Ying, what are you painting?” she asked.

Lan er who was curious also stood up to look.

“Um, is that an eggplant? Or, papaya? But, why does it have legs?” asked Lan er pointing to the bottom of Bai Ying’s painting.

Bai Ying widened his eyes when he saw his sisters who looked confused.

“Sister, look clearly, this is Xiao Mei and Xiao Qe, look, this is the head, this is the snout, and this is the necklace, here, the legs, so obvious, can’t you see it, sister?”

Xiao Mei and Xiao Qe, Bai Ying’s two alpacas that were left wild in the Peony Valley, of course, there was an old man who always fed them and cleaned their cage. But, which parts of the painting show its alpacas? The two ladies thought hard.

“Little brother, their legs are not like this, they should be rather long and slender, why did you make them round like this?” Lan Er exclaimed.

“Sister, their legs are now round and hairy, because lately old man rarely takes Xiao Mei and Xiao Qe to exercise, make them be rounded like this, and it’s also because they eat too much”

Fan er and Lan er pursed their lips, what kind of painting is that? There’s nothing good about it.

“Then what does this painting have to do with your leaving the palace? Will you miss the two round creatures so much that you paint their faces? Then why not just paint my face then? Won’t Xiao Ying miss us later?” asked Lan er.

Fan er nudged Lan er’s arm.

“Sister stays away from trouble, can he draw our face? Just look at the picture of the alpacas like this, let alone our faces?”

Lan er widen her eyes, that’s right, she couldn’t imagine her face being painted by Bai Ying, hope the kid doesn’t hear anything she said.

However, Bai Ying had already turned his head and seen their faces one by one.

“Um, I can, but, at this time Ying doesn’t have much time, I’ll paint you next time, sis.”

The young man continued to paint, Fan er and Lan er lowered their tense chests, it could be a problem if Bai Ying who was so fussy to paint them, what will it become with their faces?

But the young man did not answer the question of the two concubines earlier.

“Then, this painting, do you really want to take it with you?” asked Fan er.

Bai Ying finally finished his painting, placing the biggest dot at the end of whatever shape it is, he lifted it up and looked at it proudly.

“It’s done, here you go! Paint it exactly the same as this, don’t make a mistake, okay?” Bai Ying exclaimed, giving his painting to two maids who had been waiting behind him for a long time.

Yan and Bi nodded at the same time.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Two concubines approached after the two maids moved away from the outside.

“Brother, why did you give it to them? Really, it’s to reduce the longing, if they missing you, is it?” asked Lan er.

“No Sis, it’s for a sample picture, I told both of them, if the best result will come out as the winner”

“What winner? Why must there be a winner? You still have time to play games at a time like this, instead of visiting Her Majesty the Queen or His Majesty the Emperor, this brat” asked Fan er annoyed

Bai Ying frowned deeply.

“Precisely because of that, Sis, His Highness the Crown Prince only allowed Ying er to bring one maid with me on the trip, while Yan and Bi both wanted to go, Ying really confused about who to choose, that’s why Ying er gave them an assignment. It will be fair, right sis?”

“Task? What do you mean by painting and stuff? Can it be determined who the winner will be? Your painting, that’s really...”

“Yeah, that’s a very good idea, brother” Lan er’s loud voice stopped Fan er’s.

Before Fan er could continue, Lan er shouted. It made Fan er and Bai Ying somewhat surprised. Google search novelenglish.net . ꜰire

“This Lan er, why are you shouting like that, you startled me, Gosh”

Lan er pointed at their maids who were carrying some things in their hands.

“Sis, don’t forget what we’re here for, or we’ll forget to give it to Ying er later.”

Lan er waved her hand asking her maids to put things in a box and placed it on the table not far from the door.

“Here are some medicines from the palace healer, there are for colds, stomachaches, insect bites, motion sickness medicine, then, umm some vitamins to keep your sister’s body fit during long trips,” said Lan Er opening the boxes with the size of currently.

Bai Ying widened his eyes to see the things the maids brought out for him to see, small boxes and a few bottles of medicine.’
