CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

“That Ying’er, he really like to play kites, not even afraid of getting sunburnt,” said FuLan, throwing her card in front of Fan’er.

“Just let him be Sister, he might be so bored, erm sister, is it true that Yen’s sister is poisoned and has to go to LiuYang to get the antidote? Why wasn’t I informed of such an important matter? That little sister always gets into trouble, wonder why every time he is always unlucky, he is indeed always drawn troubles around him”

Lan’er pursed her lips, a little hesitant to say something that concubine Lui shouldn’t know at all.

“Em, coincidentally His Highness the Crown Prince did have a call of duty there, and because younger sister also needed the antidote, so we go there together, of course, I have to come with him, otherwise who will take care of our little Ying’er, not so worried, but I think It’s okay to leave the palace once in a while.”

Fan’er raised her head, looking at Lan’er with sharp eyes.

“You, why don’t you invite me too? I’m also very bored in the palace, without you guys what can I do? Her Majesty the Queen always calls me to the palace to chat but it’s really awkward being alone, ach I can go crazy”

Lan’er covered her mouth holding back a laugh, she chose the card in her hand to put on the table.

“Hehehe sorry sis, Lan’er thought you definitely wouldn’t want to come too, because that LiuYang, owh, the city is really nothing sis, not even good food, lucky the waiter brought a lot of ingredients so we weren’t hungry, but after its run out we all confused about what to eat.”

.....

Fan’er stopped the movement of her hands, her eyes stared at Lan’er roundly.

“It’s really that bad?”

“Yeah, sister don’t know why Lan’er hastened to go with His Majesty in a hurry, because according to His Majesty, sister Fan’er should have gone with him because you are the Crown Prince’s first concubine, but Lan’er tried to persuade him, saying that Sis Fan ‘er is having a stomach ache so maybe she won’t be able to come along and will only slow down the journey, so Lan’er didn’t tell you, I hope sister understand.”

Hearing Lan’er’s story, LuiFan pulled her lips.

“Oh I see, wow sister is very smart, you know that I don’t like going there if it’s going to another city, I might really want to come, Lan’er’s sister is really very considerate”

Lan’er nodded, she lifted her handkerchief to wipe her eyes looked like she was holding the tears to crying.

“Yeah, sis, heh, sister, you don’t know how hard it is to get there, it’s hot, it’s raining, not to mention meeting wild animals, and at night, you have to sleep on the train and when you wake up your body hurts because you can’t straighten your body, not to mention Sis, when you want to go to the toilet, you have to be willing to squat in the open area, ooh that’s disgusting”

LuiFan opened her eyes wide, thinking that she was lucky not to have to join the Crown Prince’s official travel.

“Hehehe never mind sister, don’t worry about it, let’s play again okay, big sister will make up for the sad days of sister during the trip, but, the perfume that Yen brought home is good too”

Lan’er rolled her eyes, thinking again.

“Yeah, it’s really hard to get, sis, sister and I had to sneak into the black market because that’s the only place that sells luxury items, we’re lucky if we don’t go undercover, big brother can’t imagine how many dirty johns out there want to touch me and sister, ich”

Hearing Lan’er’s story, LuiFan felt very lucky that she didn’t leave, so she looked at her sister with pitying eyes, stroked Lan’er’s back.

“Oh little sister, I’m so sorry for you guys, it turned out to be a very difficult journey for you”

Well, of course, Lan’er laughed secretly, LuiFan’s sister didn’t know how much fun their walk out of the palace was yesterday, apart from the attack on BaiYing of course, they ate delicious food along the way, buying street food, watching fireworks displays, dancing with the locals at night, shopping to heart’s content in XianYang city which is full of luxury goods, all of these are very enjoyable, but Lan’er, she has to say all things so that concubine Lui wouldn’t ask too many questions about it, after all, BaiYing’s matter wasn’t something she could talk to just anyone, and the Crown Prince had warned her not to talk too much, even though FuLan really likes to talk, she couldn’t help but want to gossip, but, she smiled, it made her version of the story much more interesting, this was also very fun, she laughed inwardly.

While BaiYing who was tired of running finally sat under a shady tree, Yan and Bi prepared the food they brought in a basket, they enjoyed the very sunny air that afternoon with a picnic.

“Your Majesty, here is the drink,” said Yan, placing a tall glass in front of BaiYing.

“Heh, it’s a shame that Your Majesty has a lot of work, otherwise we can enjoy a picnic together again, the air today is very nice, hemh, it’s so warm” BaiYing drew a lot of air into his chest, enjoying the smell of fresh grass that was previously cold and today the sun was shining bright enough, warm enough even though the cold wind still blows occasionally.

“Your Majesty, His Majesty the Crown Prince last night advised His Majesty not to linger outside, the air is not good, sometimes it is very cold, sometimes it is very hot, so according to His Majesty, it is better after noon we should return,” said Bi.

BaiYing turned his head.

“Yes, I know, Ying’er has also heard it, the old man, always worrying about unnecessary things, like Ying’er is a young kid, this can’t be, that can’t, it said that Ying’er would harm himself, heh, he does sound like a grandpa.”

Yan and Bi stole a laugh at BaiYing’s expression while grumbling about the Crown Prince, but even he’s grumbled both of them could still see how the gleam in Concubine Hua’s eyes sparkled when he said everything about the Crown Prince.

BaiYing lifted his head, smiling at the sight of the sky being so clear towards noon, the sky with vast blue color, some adorable white clouds gathered, and the wind that blew his long hair far away, the sound of the wind sounded very clear to him, he liked it, all there was in a realm that made him so happy, all very ordinary things happened every day, but, for him, everything was so perfect.

“heh this is so much fun” BaiYing smiled, imagining that he could walk with the Crown Prince so leisurely, hand in hand along the meadows, just walking together and smiling, without being overly burdened, it must be very enjoyable.

As they were relaxing continuing their picnic, Lan’er’s voice called out.

“Ying’er! We have to go back, let’s hurry!” she shouted waving her hand, BaiYing turned his head, he wanted to shout out that he wanted to stay longer, but Lan’er’s eyes looked serious, moreover, there was a guard from the Crown Prince’s palace standing behind her, the young man straighten up.

“Heh what’s that”

.........

Thump thump thump!

The sound of rapid footsteps came from the end of the Emperor’s study hall. Soon the second-ranked palace guard who was a permanent officer in the Dragon hall lowered his body in front of the Emperor who was sitting behind the Emperor’s desk, the large room behind the Dragon hall.

“Report Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince brought Blue Tag prisoner to the Crown Prince’s palace” reported the young bodyguard in golden armor who looked quite heavy due to the sound he made as he walked.

Hearing that the Emperor lifted his head, at that time he and his main advisor YaoLie were discussing state matters.

#YaoLie, the Emperor’s main advisor who rarely comes to the surface because he always works behind the scenes, his age is probably the same age as the Emperor, from a very calm face with long small eyes and high pierced eyebrows, the man becomes the Emperor’s advisor very well , had never let him down during his thirty-five years of reign,

“Blue Tag prisoner? How did that brat find Blue’s prisoner in the present day? Where did he take the prisoner?” asked the Emperor.

#Blue Tag Prisoner, the name for the person who had been a special prisoner of YueYang palace due to the affairs of the country’s political conflict, who was released after a while but was still under the strict supervision of the palace, it’s called Blue Tag prisoner, because all the prisoners who were quite large were gathered in the Blue palace which It was quite far away within the YueYang Kingdom’s control area.

The young bodyguard lowered his head again.

“Report Your Majesty, to his study in the Eagle Pavilion.”

The Emperor stroked his beard, thinking.

“Hmm, if we went there now, that stubborn kid would know right away if I was watching him, but, what does he want by bringing Blue tag Prisoner to the palace? What is he really looking for? Hemh, you guys watch his movements, report if there is anything new”

The young bodyguard nodded.

“Yes Your Majesty!”

As soon as the young bodyguard retreated and left the Emperor’s study, YaoLie lowered his head beside the Emperor.

“Your Majesty, maybe His Highness the Crown Prince is just curious, he is very observant, every problem will never be released without an explanation that is enough to satisfy him, not all Blue prisoners have malicious intentions, His Highness the Crown Prince must have calculated what he did”

The Emperor nodded.

“Hem I think so too Yao, just, did that kid start to know about WahYe’s problem? The matter of the Hua family attack which was indeed masterminded by people from the Great WahYe kingdom, although, actually that palace had been extinct for a long time, but their movement was getting more and more worrying”

“Your Majesty, worried that the successor of WahYe palace would come and fight against what happened before?” YaoLie asked.

The emperor nodded.

“Yes, anything can happen Yao, I don’t want our suspicions to be proven, this is very troublesome, this country that is so peaceful must be tarnished because of our ancestor previous actions, everything should have been finished, but, why is someone trying to appear and create chaos”

YaoLie straightened herself, thinking while stroking her chin.

“Hem, this is only a possibility Your Majesty, just hope those people just want to make a bit of a fuss”

The Emperor nodded back “Well, let’s just hope so”
