Chapter 7: Sneaking to The Room
BaiYing lowered his body, the two young maids in the room immediately helped him when Luo Xiang left the room.
“Ouch my head hurts so much.”
The young maid Yan and Bi helped him tidy up his blanket, didn’t know how but ever since the first time the two young maids already serving him carefully, whether they knew or not that BaiYing is a boy because every time he took a bath BaiYing always ask them to leave him alone.
Before leaving the room Luo Xiang stood still glanced at BaiYing for a moment until FaiYun voice brought him to his senses.
“Please Your Highness”
...
Shortly thereafter,
.....
In the Crown Prince’s workroom.
“So, this time’s attack was predictable? But who would dare to target the Crown Prince’s rice warehouse?,” said BeiYau
LuoXiang sat in his chair thinking so hard until his forehead wrinkled, FaiYun thought the robbery that happened on the rice warehouse at the border town must make the Crown Prince position difficult, he puts a lot of effort to get the funds from the country to build and replenish the rice sent from several big cities to distributed it to the poor residents near the border who suffered from crop failures, but in overnight, the warehouse was robbed and burned down by bandits, even though the guard was so tight.
They were just distracted for a moment because many guards were busy escorting the mayor for the annual celebration in the middle of the city, and FaiYun who was in charge of the registration officer who was sent by the state must report all the losses to the palace, everything will be more troublesome when the Emperor finds out about this matter, right now the Crown Prince must be thinking so hard on how to solving the problem.

“Hmmh, what should I do about YingYing so he will not be planning to run away again? Do I have to tie him up? Lock him up? Is the food in the palace not good? Hmm, tomorrow I have to check it by myself, emh, maybe tonight I will move to his room, yeah I have to do that, or otherwise, he might thinking of the plan to running away again, eits, I forgot, I have the ultimate weapon to force him to stay, why didn’t I think of there, sigh, it might be because I have too much to think about” LuoXiang’s inner voice and unconsciously grinned.
He raised his head to see FaiYun and his personal guard BeiYau who pay attention to him seriously.
“Eh Your Majesty, what do you thinking of?” Asked FaiYun.
LuoXiang waved his hand, did his heart sound that loud?
“Ah, well, about how to solve the rice problem, for now, the main problem is how to distribute rice to the poor, as for robbers, I can think who is behind them, em brother Fai, can your team find out about the movements of SuChau and his followers?”
FaiYun stuttered, he didn’t expect the Crown Prince to mention that name.
“Eh that, Your Majesty means, is the mayor?”
“Well, who else, is there another person with the same name? You are not afraid of him right?”
FaiYun shook his head.
“No that is not what I mean, em, actually we also investigating this person secretly, but since His Majesty said so, we will investigate more closely.”
LuoXiang raised his teacup, blew out the smoke, and took a small sip.
“There’s no need to be a too blatant brother, I just want to know what he did during the robbery, everyone will suspect him, don’t think he can be so calm without getting noticed, It’s too good for him, but I ‘I also suspect who the person at behind him, Just for this time just keep this to ourselves, BeiYau!”
BeiYau lowered his knees quickly in front of LuoXiang.
“Yes, Your Highness!”
“Bring some guards to town and buy as much rice as you need in the shop, our city has a lot of rice stock so I don’t think there won’t be a problem, after that you bring the best men and go back to LiuYang to distribute rice to the people, I don’t want we waste a time because every little time is precious.”
BeiYau nodded, clenching his two hands in front of his face.
“Yes, Your Highness, will rush immediately!”
...
Late at that night.
The vague sound of owls in the valley not far from the crown prince’s palace still could be heard, not to mention the sound of the wolf howling and shouting along with other nocturnal beasts.
The door of the very quiet and calm Plum pavilion opened from the outside, the two maids who are sitting and almost fell to sleep while on guard next by the bed were about to greet the person who entered, but that person asked them to be quiet and leave the room.
Later, BaiYing, who was fast asleep on his bed, wakes a little because he felt his bed swaying, but it might just be a dream. He was so tired that he didn’t care about anything at this time, even when someone pulled the blanket off and lay beside him. For a while, the figure who none other than LuoXiang raised his hand to hug BaiYing from behind and closed his eyes, his position is so close, it happened that the air temperature was quite cold so sleeping like that kept them both warm.
“Em my mistress,” muttered LuoXiang who seemed to be a little drunk hugging BaiYing from behind with his two big arms and smiles.
...
In the morning.
The canary’s landed on the Plum blossoms branch in front of the Plum pavilion, the cold morning air, even though the sun had risen high to the front of the Crown Prince’s Palace but the two people who were being mingled in love, were still sleeping hugged each other on the bed, that’s what the Queen had in mind when they saw the sleeping LuoXiang embracing BaiYing in the blanket so comfortably, who knows what they did last night. Behind the Queen, ChaiMa and the few small servants who followed her didn’t dare look up, but secretly they glanced at each other with amusement.
LuoXiang still enjoys his sleep, but soon he stretched his body, lifted his arms, and pull his waist ready to wake up, he opened his eyes, for a moment he still felt like he was dreaming seeing so many people in front of him, but, LuoXiang cleared his gaze, he rubbed his eyes and indeed saw the Queen and others standing not far in front of his bed.

LuoXiang widened his eyes, quickly glanced at BaiYing who was sleeping carelessly until his clothes parted showing his chest, it’s bad if everyone saw him now, LuoXiang covered BaiYing’s body with a blanket.
“Emh still want to sleep” BaiYing is delirious.
“M-mother? What are you doing here in the morning?”
#Crown Prince happens to be at Plum Pavilion belong to the Concubines, who as Queen she has the right to come in anytime she wants, but didn’t expect the Crown Prince to be there.
The Queen refrained from smiling, she gracefully walked towards the chair, ChaiMa stretched out her hand to help her sit down while another servant poured the tea that the maid had just brought in into a small jade cup with exquisite carving.
LuoXiang put on his shoes and was about to get closer but a shrill voice comes from BaiYing.
“Akh what are you doing? You bast ...” The young man who woke up almost half-naked because his upper clothes were parted almost hit Luo Xiang’s back, but quickly stopped his voice when he saw how crowded the room was, this is bad, BaiYing pulled up his upper clothes quickly, breast, he didn’t wear any breast pads!
“Y-Your Majesty the Queen, greetings”
The Queen laughed, at this time she could not help being amused, she laughed loudly followed by her other subordinates.
“Hahahaha Queen disturbs you guys, please forgive this insolent Queen, it looks like I have to avoid being come here without notice next time”.
Yeah, said that again, exclaimed Crown Prince who doesn’t know how to forbid the Queen from coming to his palace all the time as her, please.
BaiYing glanced at LuoXiang sharply, Crown Prince put on an innocent look as he scratched his head.
“What are you doing now?” he whispered, LuoXiang shrugged his shoulders, but BaiYing was so exasperated that he pinched his waist hard.
“Aww it hurts” LuoXiang groaned.
BaiYing glanced at that person sharply, last night he clearly remembered there was someone who hugged him, he thought it was just a dream, but it turned out to be that person, that person who loves to give him trouble, always making him irritated.
