CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

330 Be Parted

The Crown Prince stroked BaiYing’s back.

“Bad boy, you are thinking of running away from responsibility huh? That’s too good for you, that can’t be happening.”

“I just thought, if that happened...”

Crown Prince let go of his embrace, before BaiYing finished his words, he already lifted the young man’s chin and kissed his lips, stopping his speech.

“Umpp”

The Crown Prince kissed BaiYing’s sweet lips passionately, chewing on the lips that looked so delicious like cherries to the brim, not letting the boy say another more word, his two wide palms holding BaiYing’s cheeks lifted them up a bit very gently, then his other hand pulled BaiYing’s waist so that their bodies were very intimately close together.

“Ump Your Majesty”

Even the Crown Prince only gave BaiYing a second to take a breath before kissing those lips again, BaiYing’s two small hands clenched tightly holding the Crown Prince’s clothes.

His small face was enough in the Crown Prince’s palm that he could very content kiss those lips without any disturbance.

.....

“My YingYing”

.....

Klop klop klop.

The sun was shining very hot that morning, the golden carriage complete with several horse guards had already moved away from the Golden Dragon courtyard, ChenMing in his dominant white dress with WahYe’s signature embroidery sat on his big horse at the front of the carriage.

BaiYing and his maids sat in the golden carriage, although it was a very hard decision, but, he had to make that journey.

A moment ago he was still kneeling before the Emperor and delivering his goodbye. The young man looked very shining with the small crown of King WahYe on top of his long loose hair, in XinHua’s white oversized clothes with a combination of gold and silver, with many sparkling beads on the clothes and long velvet robes, which made the clothes look very luxurious, and a bit heavy.

“Greetings Your Majesty the Emperor, Ying, excuse my self, may Your Majesty the Emperor and Queen always be blessed with health and prosperity, so does Your Majesty the Crown Prince.” BaiYing raised his head, looking at the Crown Prince who was reluctant to look at him, his gaze just straight ahead, he restrained himself, clenching his two hands behind his waist.

This morning. At West Dragon Pavilion.

BaiYing had just finished dressing up, and Lan’er had just put the Crown on top of his bun after brushing the young man reddish brown shiny hair for a very long time.

“Sister, um, can sister go with you? After all, XiaoYing is the reason big sister has been in the palace all this time, if Ying’er leaves, what should I do next?” Lan’er’s low voice as if she contains herself, as she slowly stuck a jade hairpin with golden plum blossoms between the crowns to secure its position. BaiYing touched Lan’er’s hand, turning his head smiling at the young concubine who was trying hard not to cry.

“Sis, sister is His Highness the Crown Prince’s concubine, of course, you must stay be by his side, er, how about this, Ying, ask sis to take care of His Majesty, he will skip meals if no one reminds him, he will work all day from morning to night, sitting in his study, even stay up all night to finish his work, just as Guard Bei said before Ying came, so, while Ying was away, Ying, ask Sister to be able to look after him, make sure His Highness the Crown Prince didn’t forget to eat and take care of his health, Sister, can do that right?”

Lan’er stared at BaiYing, looking at that pair of big brown round eyes for a long time, she was unable to hold back the tears that were already at the corners of her eyes, and it fell down her smooth cheeks.

“How could this big Sister able to replace Ying’er, which His Highness the Crown Prince loves so much, ems, that’s, so impossible Ying, no one can tell him what to do if it not you, why you have to leave? Why not take us along? Was Ying planning to stay there for a very long time? Why did Ying have the heart to leave us here?”

In the end, Lan’er burst into tears.

“Huks hu XiaoYing don’t go”

The young man tried to calm her down, patted her shoulder to hug her.

“Sister, Ying’er will coming back, or else you can visit me there.”

“Who allowed my YingYing to not come back?”

The Crown Prince’s voice.

Lan’er raised her head, her eyes welled with tears and still couldn’t catch her breath from her sobs, but it seemed she did have to go out to let the Crown Prince spend his last time with BaiYing there.

Immediately Lan’er and the maids stepped back and left the room

BaiYing, who had finished his preparation was about to turn his body towards the Crown Prince when the man rushed forward and hugged him.

“Your Majesty”

Hugging him so tight, in the middle of the room, standing tall embracing the little body with two wide arms, stroking his hair, smelling HuaBaiYing as much as he could.

“Your Majesty, Ying, will be leaving for a while, Your Majesty don’t forget to take care of yourself, eat well, sleep and have a rest regularly”

“I will tie you to the bed so YingYing can’t go a step away from me” the Crown Prince’s flat voice.

BaiYing was silent, he slowly raised his two hands holding the Crown Prince’s waist who was hugging him tightly so that he didn’t even feel his feet stepping on the floor.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty has promised, will let Ying do what Ying wants”

“Let me break my promise, I can’t, thinking about YingYing far away is already making me unable to breathe, what if I suddenly die with my eyes wide open? Because of missing you too much?”

YingYing smiled, Crown Prince didn’t sound like he was at the moment.

“Your Majesty will not die from missing Ying Ying too much, time will pass quickly, as soon as it is over, Ying will back, Your Majesty must not die, Ying’er will be so devastated later”

“Then YingYing must not leave, how about this, the Palace invites all XinHua officials here, so YingYing can watch them form the cabinet here, it’s the same right?”

“That, it can’t be Your Majesty, XinHua is XinHua, YueYang, is not XinHua”

“But, YingYing is my concubine, it’s a lifetime contract, did YingYing forget our edict?”

BaiYing nodded, he lowered his head on the Crown Prince’s chest.

“YingYing know that, Your Majesty, it’s a lifelong contract that will remain in effect even if we die, Your Majesty said that you will chase Ying to the ends of the world, how could Ying’er forget it, heh”

“Em, how about Brother XiangXiang take you to XinHua?”

“No need, Your Majesty, that would mean Your Majesty is going there.”

“Em, how about just reaching the SuiLian border?” The Crown Prince tried to bargain.

“Your Majesty, You said that you will let Ying do all of this on my own, trust Ying’er with everything.”

“Brother isn’t distrustful of you, but, heh, how can I live without seeing my YingYing, even for a day?”

“Your Majesty, this is also a very hard decision for Ying”

“That’s not true, YingYing looks very calm, you must be looking forward to leaving the palace without Brother accompanying you right?”

The Crown Prince hugged BaiYing so tightly that it was impossible for BaiYing to look up at his face when he said that.

BaiYing pursed his lips.

“Your Majesty, why do you think like that? Ying has already told you everything, does it have to be repeated?”

“Well then, how about big brother send BeiYau to accompany you there? But no, that would be too good for him, he really wants to stalk Prince Chen, it can’t happen, Brother XiangXiang will take a leave from the palace and accompany Ying there, okay?”

“Your Majesty, how could that be possible?”

And finally, the Crown Prince couldn’t help but let go of his embrace and let BaiYing go, although, he didn’t want to see the young man go, but, BaiYing’s destiny was indeed very big, he couldn’t let a peacock be confined in a very narrow cage without being able to widen its beautiful tail, it would be crushed.

The sound of horseshoe tapping snapped BaiYing out of his thoughts, as soon as they left the palace gates, a loud noise rang out.

“Drap drap drap drap!”

The sound of horse running was very loud, the Crown Prince was already racing his horse quickly following the horse carriage. ChenMing just stared at the man intently as he slowly walked beside BaiYing’s carriage. It was seen that BeiYau was not far behind the Crown Prince.

“That person”

“YingYing, don’t be away for too long” the Crown Prince’s voice was flat, although he couldn’t hide the sadness in his eyes, the man was trying to hold it in, this was very embarrassing for him, but he had to lower his ego or else he would regret it.

BaiYing who was sitting in the carriage stretched out his hand holding the Crown Prince’s by the window while sitting on his horse, rides at the same speed as the carriage.

“Your Majesty, please take care of XiaoGe and XiaoMei while Ying is not around, don’t slaught them for food”

“Well, if Ying doesn’t come home on time, those two fat and lazy alpacas will end up in the pot, remember that”
