CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

The room looks messy with lots of Bai Ying’s belongings which he would bring with him on their next trip.

“Ying, don’t bring too much stuff, we’re on duty, not a vacation,” said the Crown Prince who sat quietly on his chair while reading the daily routine report given by Ciao Ti, while the officers with for him at the living room.

Bai Ying and his maids were busy stuffing things into the cloth bags.

“It’s not much Your Majesty, this is Grandpa Po’s clothes for Ying er, then from grandmother, also Her Majesty the Queen, Ying has to bring them, it’s all so pretty, how can I choose between them? It’s very confusing, just take it all then.”

Luo Xiang glanced at the bags that had been prepared on the bed, he couldn’t stop him because the naughty Bai Ying would scream and sulk later.

“But who will serve you there? We will live in a clan, ain’t like the palace, there will be no maids to serve you there later, don’t bring clothes that are too difficult for you to wear by yourself, just the simple one, Ying”

Bai Ying widened his eyes, his hands still holding the clothes stopped and looked at his maids who were surprised to hear that.

“C-can’t bring maids? Then, later, who would help Ying get dressed? Who will comb and tie Ying’s hair? Then, when Ying er is hungry, who will bring me the food? Your Majesty, are we going to live in misery?”

.....

Luo Xiang pulled his lips and looked at Bai Ying who was looking at him with his pair of big eyes. He lowered the report scroll in his hand onto the table.

“Well, it is, Ying, living in the martial world is like that, everyone has to know how to take care of themselves, and there are no servants or little guards”

“How can that be Your Majesty? Ying, uh, if it’s like that, then Ying doesn’t want to go there” Ying shouted putting his clothes on the divan and sitting down with his mouth pursed, folding his arms in front of his chest, frowning.

Luo Xiang held his breath.

“Ying, you have too, wherever the Crown Prince goes my Ying Ying definitely has to come, no excuse”

Bai Ying looked at the Crown Prince who was looking at him with big eyes.

“But, how can Ying live without sister Yan or sister Bi? At least, there’s another maid there, right? One or two?”

Luo Xiang shook his head.

“Nopes, there is no maid, at all”

“Then, okay, Ying will just stay in the palace, I don’t want to come along.”

The Crown Prince glared at Bai Ying, the boy was so stubborn.

“Why is that? Does my Ying Ying doesn’t want to go anywhere with Brother?”

“Why do I have to? If Ying has to suffer without a maid, things will be very troublesome later, Your Majesty.”

“Well, because, since Ying Ying is my concubine, of course, you have to follow wherever Brother goes, that’s why”

Bai Ying frowned thoughtfully.

“Sister Lan er and Sister Fan er are also Your Majesty’s concubines, why don’t Your Majesty bring them with you?” Bai Ying exclaimed.

Luo Xiang was getting irritated.

“Since they’re women, and they can’t fight, they’ll just be a hassle, this isn’t a fun event!”

The voices of the two were heard clearly to the living room where Bei Yau and Ciao Ti are. The two looked at each other for a moment, awkward.

“But Ying isn’t good at fighting either, Your Majesty must want to throw Ying er out on the street, isn’t it? If not, what’s the reason other than that? Moreover, there are no servants around me, for sure Ying will be alone and can’t do anything later, Your Majesty, that’s why Your Majesty took Ying er there? Is it, Your Majesty?”

Luo Xiang’s chest swelled in annoyance, the boy was already testing his patience.

“Because, Big Brother loves my Ying Ying the most, that’s why!” cried the Crown Prince.

A loud voice from the Crown Prince with his eyes glaring big startled Bai Ying and the others in the room, immediately Yan and Bi asked the other maids to retreat and out of the room in an orderly manner.

Bai Ying still widened his eyes at the Crown Prince who looked so irritated that his face was red. Cant believes that the Crown Prince shouts at him, this is the first time since he remembered.

“Y-Your Highness”

Luo Xiang couldn’t take it anymore, he stepped forward and pulled Bai Ying’s waist towards him, holding his hand and kissing him.

“Ump”

The Crown Prince pushed Bai Ying back down on the divan behind him and continued to kiss him, holding that delicate chin with his wide palm.

Bai Ying couldn’t resist the huge body that pushed him onto the couch and blocked him from escape, he didn’t even give him a chance to move.

Yan and Bi who were standing not far from Bai Ying slowly retreated towards the door while lowering their heads deeply.

Luo Xiang saw Bai Ying’s pair of eyes widen at him, his breath was still panting, not because he had just kissed Bai Ying, but because he was very annoyed for having to hold the turmoil in his chest for too long, while he could not wait to touch every inch of the kid’s body, why is it so difficult? How can he survive if this keeps like this? How long will he wait?

The Crown Prince dropped his head on Bai Ying’s shoulder, his chest rising and falling rapidly. Bai Ying stuttered, what happened? Was the Crown Prince so angry with him that he was like that? He looked very depressed.

“Your Majesty” Bai Ying said touching the Crown Prince’s shoulder.

Luo Xiang raised his head and hugged Bai Ying very tightly.

“Your Highness” was so tight that even Bai Ying’s body seemed to be suppressed by his embrace.

“Your Majesty, are you alright?” Bai Ying asked.

Luo Xiang just hugged the young man, very tightly as if he didn’t want to let him go at all, why did the young man always test his patience? It’s true what Princess Wu Lan said if, in the future, Bai Ying’s naughty and stubborn attitude will make him tired and give up, will he really give up? Does this mean that his love for Bai Ying will end because he is unable to make the boy’s love back to him?

“heh, my Ying Ying”

Bai Ying seemed to know that the Crown Prince was depressed, maybe he was really tired, the demands of work and the many activities in the palace made him not have much time to rest, poor Crown Prince, thought Bai Ying while stroking the Crown Prince’s broad back gently.

“Your Majesty, is Your Majesty mad?”

Luo Xiang smiled, he can’t give up, he can’t even a bit. What was he thinking?

Luo Xiang let go of his embrace and saw Bai Ying’s face which instantly made the burden on his chest disappear, therefore, no matter how heavy it is, his little concubine’s bright sun-like face would always give him hope. He raise his hand to touch Bai Ying’s hair and smoothed it over his forehead.

“Em, yeah, brother is very mad that my Ying Ying doesn’t want to come with me, in that case, Brother will tell His Majesty the Emperor to postpone the planned trip, or, better, I cancel the trip. Hem, I have to string the words together on how to say this to the Emperor so He won’t be so angry.”

Bai Ying widened his eyes,

“H-how could that be Your Majesty? This is a very important duty, Ying heard that chaos can happen if a certain party wins.”

“So, do you think we can make any changes there? His Majesty’s orders were so unreasonable, how could the presence of a few people from the palace change the situation? So ridiculous.”

Bai Ying grab the Crown Prince’s clothes as he was about to walk away, stuttering seeing the Crown Prince’s face.

“Eh, Your Majesty, fine then, um, Ying, will go with you, no need to bring any maids, it is okay, as long as Your Majesty does not cancel Your Majesty’s departure there, no matter what, Your Majesty must not remain silent if you can help the people, even if it’s not much according to you, but, Your Majesty doesn’t know how big it is for them.”

Luo Xiang stopped his movements, seeing Bai Ying who was lowering his head with a slightly disappointed look, he held his hand tightly.

The Crown Prince lowered his head at Bai Ying’s sad face.

“Then, so my Ying can really live without a maid? Will you be able to take care of yourself there?” Luo Xiang asked.

Bai Ying pursed his lips.

“Well, it can’t be helped, It’s better than if Your Majesty cancels it.”

Luo Xiang smiled, Bai Ying’s face, when he was frowning, was very adorable, he is really cute.

“Hehe, this sweet kid, my Ying Ying has grown up,” said the Crown Prince stroking Bai Ying’s hair gently, and pulling him in his arms.
