CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

“Um, so what with so many people? Everyone in this room knows that BaiYingYing belongs to LuoXiang only, after all, who kissed YingYing? No, I just took the leftovers, the food is delicious, it’s a shame if you don’t eat it”

“Your Highness, there’s still plenty of food on the table”

LuoXiang continued to tease BaiYing.

“Well that’s different, it tastes better on your lips, it tastes much better”

“This guy”

BaiYing stuttered, the man’s eyes stared at him as if he was just delicious food, he tried to push LuoXiang who was very close to him, while all eyes pretended not to see them, besides aYa who was ready to break the chopsticks in her hands in annoyance.

“Prakk”

FuLan covered her ears, the girl might break the chair she’s sitting on soon.

.....

“This aYa”

While ChenMing, who was sitting in front of everyone who looks so intimate, except for him, still holding his bowl and chopsticks and didn’t know what to eat yet, but seeing the affection in front of his eyes felt like his stomach was full, while the boy still didn’t take his eyes off of BaiYing and the others who were chatting while eating, someone thrust a side dish in front of him, interrupting his reverie.

“Eh sorry Young Master, but, the vegetables will get cold if you don’t eat them right away, the air is quite cold” BeiYau who smiled seeing ChenMing’s confused face, the young man glanced at the plate of side dishes and vegetables in front of him, while his own bowl was still empty, even though his stomach was hungry ever since.

“Hehe yeah, please Mr Bei”

BeiYau had already put the food in his mouth, still couldn’t take his eyes off the young man, according to the Crown Prince, he must always keep an eye on the kid so he will not do anything strange especially to disturb Concubine Hua, meaning to keep an eye, must be like this right? The young man’s face was indeed pleasing to the eye, just like the other version of concubine Hua which he likes very much, this isn’t bad either, BeiYau thought with a smile.

...

The night atmosphere in the Plum Pavilion was, calm and barely a sound was heard, the maids prepared to end the day after cleaning the room and leaving the mansion which was only guarded by a few palace guards inside.

The Crown Prince removed the blanket, prepared to climb into bed, and sat beside BaiYing who was still sitting propped up on his bed daydreaming, looking at his mother’s necklace which was now in his palm.

“Why hasn’t my-YingYing slept yet?” He sat beside BaiYing and shifted the young man’s shoulder towards him.

“Em, it’s a bit strange Your Majesty, I clearly saw sister Yan put it in the drawer before we left for the valley, this, it’s so weird that suddenly this necklace could be found at the back garden”

LuoXiang grabbed BaiYing’s hand, looking at the necklace in the young man’s palm, a shiny, round object that at first glance looks like ordinary jewelry but actually has a very important secret hidden within it.

“What, YingYing doesn’t want to know more about what’s in this memory coin? According to Mr. Shin if you want, YingYing can just ask about whatever information your Mother has stored in it, she can definitely tell you anything.”

BaiYing was silent, he dropped his head on LuoXiang’s shoulder, took a deep breath while looking at the shiny coin, he really wanted to know a lot, about his mother’s past, about how her life was, but, that would just make him miss her even more, which he knew was long gone now, and the coin, only kept all her memories, he didn’t really need it, though, he wanted to see her again, but, seeing his mother’s face will only hurt him again, it felt very heavy.

LuoXiang stroked BaiYing’s head and kissed the top of his head.

“Whenever YingYing is ready, it doesn’t matter now, it’s just, for some reason, I think, this coin could be such a precious thing that people who know it will immediately look for it at all costs.”

Hearing that, BaiYing raised his head, looking at the Crown Prince. for a moment.

“Your Majesty means...”

LuoXiang saw BaiYing’s eyes watching him waiting for his answer.

“Yeah, YingYing, you have to be careful with that ChenMing, he might accidentally take this coin from your room.”

BaiYing sat up straight, his eyes wide in disbelief.

“Your Majesty, is that even possible? How does ChenMing know about this coin? Doesn’t His Majesty just make any accusations? If he really is that kind of person why did His Majesty invite him into the palace then?”

LuoXiang retracted his lips, seeing BaiYing’s face which was frowning as if blaming him.

“What do you mean? So why by inviting him to the palace? Who knows we can get more information about WahYe, headquarters, the movements, plans, anything related to WahYe, if it is true that the kid is the Young Prince of WahYe, he must at least know a little about his country’s matter”

“Yeah, but, this is like ‘keeping the snakes in the house, what if His Majesty’s calculations are wrong, what if ChenMing actually launches an attack from within the palace, what if there is someone in the palace who helps him too? Has His Majesty thought of that? Please forgive this servant Your Majesty, but I don’t really like Your Majesty’s idea.”

LuoXiang looked at BaiYing for a moment, he was excited to flick the boy’s forehead.

“Ich this child, has His Highness the Crown Prince ever missed? Are you underestimating me, does this kid know what the punishment will be for questioning the decision of this great and magnificent Crown Prince?”

BaiYing dodged, he lowered his head and raised his two fists in front of his head in salute.

“Please forgive me, Your Majesty, the great and magnificent Crown Prince, servant is not questioning, only doubting”

LuoXiang restrained himself, he was exasperated and finally pinched BaiYing’s cheek to his heart’s content.

“Ich this child”

“It hurts Your Majesty, why is Your Majesty always pinching me?”

“You deserve it, it’s punishment for questioning the Crown Prince’s decision”

BaiYing touched his red cheeks, still muttering.

“What’s wrong with this guy, what’s with the punishment? Every day always aiming for people’s cheeks.”

LuoXiang raised his eyebrows, seeing BaiYing’s face which made him want to eat it so much, he immediately pulled the blanket and covered their whole bodies in it.

“Ackh Your Majesty, what is Your Majesty doing!?”

“Be quiet, tonight you will receive the most severe punishment, for doubting the Crown Prince.”

The two people in the large blanket kept moving and make the bed swayed hard.

“Akh Your Majesty stop!” cried Bai Ying.

“Take this punishment”

Tuingg!!

BaiYing’s white clothes floated up from under the blanket, landing on the floor,

“No, Your Majesty, please forgive me!”

“Owh this body, smells so good, how long did you take your bath? Emh very smooth, really deserve of petting this adorable bunny in the palace”

“Servant is not a bunny!” cried Baiying.

“If not then what? This kid is too cute to be a fierce cat, it smells so good”

“Hahahaha Your Majesty stops it, it’s tickling!”

“Emh let me taste check on this cute bunny”

“Your Majesty please move your feet!”

.......

In the depths of the forest, far from the city of SanPo.

The leaves that grew thickly on the tall, very old trees covered the sun’s fall on the ground, making the ground and rocks below mossy. The little birds were just singing sweetly on the tree branches to start the bright morning with the fresh air when they heard the sound of sharp objects clashing and moaning from a distance.

“ting ting ting ting ting!”

Seen in the field near a small village dozens of people clashing weapons, many people in black clothes fighting with people dressed in red dominant, warrior clothes from YueYang palace.

Hiatt!’

Blood splattered everywhere, casualties were unavoidable, many people dressed in black as seen from the flag still flying at the end of the pole were none other than the Black Water Clan trying to fight back, at dawn this morning a group of many soldiers from the palace stormed the headquarters, which located in the road leading to the forest west of SuiLian city, the leader of the palace soldiers who was none other than Commander Liu, the young man valiantly aimed his shiny long sword down several enemies at once, orders from the Crown Prince’s palace that they should at least reduce the number of the partially known Black Water Clan which is hiding near the SuiLian forest.

The young man was so skilled with his sword, he did not spare any enemy that charged towards him.

“Hiatt!”

But the number of people from the Clan was not little, let alone chased them all the way to their own base, Commander Liu had predicted that they might be a little overwhelmed, several times he helped his exhausted men and were repulsed by their enemies, who also came from all over of the direction to surround him.

“Damn it! there are more and more of them”

As LiuFu was getting more and more exhausted and tired, from the trees came another black shadow that shot very fast with a pair of broadswords in his hands descending amidst LiuFu and the people from the Black Water Clan who surrounded him, a large sword with a hollow hilt that made it so easy to rotate like a fan that swiftly slashed at the necks of the black-clothed people who rushed forward simultaneously.

Sheett shett!

The sound of the wind caused by the sharp blade slashing was clearly audible, the gleam of the sword in the sunlight was dazzling, but how many seconds later the sword had made all enemies fall with their bodies covered in blood.

No doubt the remaining people from the Black Water Clan fled as fast as they could, the remaining dozens of people who quickly tried to run into the forest, although some were still blocked by the guards who tried to catch them alive.

Commander Liu who was slightly exhausted straightened his body, still watching with the sword drawn in front of him, the person who came, a black clothed figure with his face under his eyes covered in black cloth, with a visible scar on his left eye all the way to his cheek, slowly the person who was now standing straight fused his broadsword into a thick blade that was still covered in blood and drew his veil, LiuFu swallowed hard, that person, it was certain that the one BeiYau said could have appeared when they attacked the Black Water Clan, because like as well as them, that person had also made the Clan his main target, a person who in one slash could easily kill his life, so far, only the Crown Prince could defeat him, who else but YiFang.

“Swordsman Yi” LiuFu lowered his sword and saluted YiFang, who saw LiuFu, and looked around where there were many corpses from both sides, but most of the Black Water Clan were lying covered in blood.

Not long after, several young soldiers managed to catch several people in black who was about to run away, stopping in front of LiuFu.

“Commander Liu”

LiuFu waved his hand,

“Take them back to base, we heading back!” he cried.

The young soldiers who were under Liu’s guard shouted in unison.

“Yess Commander!”
