CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

Towards the end of the day at the Peach Pavilion, the concubines were busy gossiping about BaiYing being drunk last night. BaiYing’s eyes went wide.

“That is not true! Who said that?” asked Bai Ying furiously.

“Someone,” said Lan’er relaxed.

Baiying squinted, why did she always know everything that happened that soon?

“Sister, why do you keep gossiping about Ying’er?”

Lan’er is busy enjoying her dessert after their class is over.

“Well, I can’t help it, this big sister has eyes and ears all over the palace, how can I refuse when some good news comes, hehehehe”

“What good news? It just drunk.”

.....

Fan’er frowned, deep in thought.

“But, why can there be a liquor? Why didn’t I drink it last night? Little Brother Ying you purposely hid it from us didn’t you?”

BaiYing glanced sharply.

“Who? W-who likes to drink liquor anyway, that’s weird”

Lan’er nodded.

“That’s right Sis, Ying’er can’t possibly touch it, he’s really lousy, sister forgot when we gave him with the very light wine from the country, and he gets drunk only by taste it, a bit, let alone to drink like this, this time brother Ying was just lucky not being raped”

Hear Lan’er said it makes Baiying pull his clothes while looking at Lan’er with big eyes.

“Sister! How can you say that?! That’s so horrible!”

“Well that’s the truth Ying, you didn’t realize you step closer to have cheated on the Crown Prince, I can’t imagine how angry His Majesty would be”

“Sister, you could lose your head” continued Fan’er,

BaiYing stuttered, did he do something wrong last night? He does not remember anything.

“Bu-but-but, h-how can Ying cheating? You guys just make it up!”

“Well, I can’t do anything if you don’t believe me, but it really, you almost being a very delicious meal to the Second Prince, next time you have to be very careful, don’t let His Highness the Crown Prince catch you red-handed”

“So, that means, if you don’t get caught then it’s okay?” Fan’er continued.

Lan’er casually stuffed peanuts into her mouth while nodding.

“Well, you could say that”

BaiYing couldn’t believe what he was hearing, this was a woman’s talk that only they could understand.

“These big sisters, how can that be?”

“Heh, the Crown Prince is so handsome, but His Highness the Second Prince is so charming, heh, little brother Ying, how can you make people go crazy over you, tell me, what your secret is?” Lan’er continued.

“Sister is only teasing Ying’er”

Lan ‘er and Fan’er finally laughed, un-bear to see BaiYing’s adorable frowning face.

“Hahahaha”

While BaiYIng was already worried to death, the two of them ckept teasing him.

“Hahahahah”

“Sisters!!”

.....

By late afternoon, BaiYing had been very upset all day because his two older sisters kept teasing him, while the two of them walked in front, he was at the very back with his maids.

“Your Majesty, we didn’t tell Concubine Fu, Your Majesty must believe us,” said Yan try hard to convince BaiYing who said that his maids had big mouths.

“If not you then who? You guys can’t be trusted, I’ll let you two eat that sour and spicy radish for tomorrow! Finish it all!”

The young man had been sulking since they got out.

“Your Majesty it wasn’t us, Your Majesty has to trust us,”

Lan’er and Fan’er walked in the foreground leisurely, both of them still chatting about women’s matters, of course, this shouldn’t be heard by BaiYing.

“So when my stomach is hurt I used the water pillow that Ying’er bought from SuiLian, it’s so good,” said Lan’er, Fan’er nodded with her big eyes wide open.

“Really that good? I haven’t used it, I only have a little cramp during my period”

Along the way, BaiYing kept upset, he brush off his maid’s hand who help him walk with his very new and wide, heavy clothes until something caught his eyes, he stopped in his tracks below the biggest tree not far at the side of the road.

“Sis, there is a squirrel” the young man’s face immediately cheered up seeing a cute squirrel that was seen on a tree branch, the cute squirrel holding something like small fruit in his tiny hands, sitting perched on a branch.

Lan’er and Fan’er stopped in their tracks, seeing what the boy was doing by raising his head under the tree.

“Ying’er is getting dark, what are you doing there?” Lan’er asked.

BaiYing pointed at the tall tree branch in front of him.

“Sister, look the squirrels is so cute, he’s getting bigger, I remember last time I saw their was still so small, ohh it’s so adorable”

“Well, yeah, Ying, you’ve been away a while, of course it has grown” said Fan’er.

BaiYing rolled up his sleeves,

“Your Majesty, what are you doing?” Yan asked.

BaiYing rolled up his sleeves as if he’s getting ready to climb that huge and tall peach tree.

“I want to go climb it, there are still a few baby squirrels upstairs, Ying wants to see them, they must be so cute”

Lan’er came closer, holding BaiYing’s clothes.

“Little brother, don’t mess around, it’s getting dark how can you see it again, and they might be sleeping, don’t be naughty”

BaiYing held the tree trunk with both hands ready to climb, with his inner strength now, actually it’s not difficult to climb to the top, but where’s the fun?

“Just a moment, Sis, it won’t take long.”

The concubines and the maids couldn’t stop BaiYing, who basically really likes to climb trees. He’s so excited, slowly he’s stepping on the tree trunk with his luxuriously embroidered shoes, holding on to a branch that is big enough to pull his body up.

“Little brother quickly gets down here! You can fall and hurt yourself!” Lan’er exclaimed.

BaiYing’s maids were worried, but BaiYing was almost at the top of the tree branch where the little squirrel had run away quickly from the prankster who was bothering them.

“Hey where are you guys going?” BaiYing’s hand tried to reach the squirrel which was running so fast, but he failed and that caused him to lose his grip.

“Oh no,” the tree trunk was so slippery, he lost his balance and can’t avoid the falls.

“Ying’er” Lan’er and Fan’er opened their eyes wide when they saw BaiYing slide down, both of them spreading their arms ready to catch him.

“XiaoYing!!”

BaiYing couldn’t hold his body from falling, he had to give off his aura or else he would fall so ridiculously, but...

“Brukk!”

Someone catch him.

Caught his body right before BaiYing was about to fall heavily onto the ground, someone who suddenly got there so quickly.

“Oops!”

Like a sluggish movement, where someone had held his body before he fell, carried him like a princess, and spun around a few times before stopping, the figure of a tall young man, dressed in white with a wide smile on his face, a very close look at BaiYing.

“Be careful sweetie, you can hurt yourself” the person’s voice was very low, smiling broadly at BaiYing which he was holding very close, BaiYing’s eyes blinked, the look in his eyes alone could melt anyone who saw it especially the young man who was stunned, frozen in his position, so close to him, too close so as he could smell BaiYing’s tantalizing scent.

Lan’er and Fan’er approached and held BaiYing’s hand trying to help him down.

“Younger brother!”

“See? What have I told you?.”

The man slowly lowered BaiYing’s two feet onto the ground, but subconsciously he seemed reluctant to let go of his grip, BaiYing’s big eyes blinked asking him to let go.

“Eh mister.”

The young man let go of his grip.

“Thank you, sir”

Lan’er glanced at the young man, don’t know, who was this foreigner who could enter the Crown Prince’s palace at his will. His face is handsome, tall, and sturdy with beautiful shiny white clothes. Although she thinks she doesn’t really like his smile, especially a moment after he let go of BaiYing’s grip, he smelled BaiYing’s body odor that was left in his palms when he held BaiYing’s waist earlier.

Lan’er and Fan’er pulled BaiYing away.

.....

“Brother come here”

“Who is this master? Why is he suddenly in this palace?” asked Fan’er.

The young man smiled, he clenched his fists in front of his face lowering his head in respect.

“Greetings, servant YiXing, advisor of the NuMen country, coincidentally, I was passing in front after a short visit and heard a commotion here, I’m sorry for coming so presumptuously.”

BaiYing’s maids cleaned his clothes and brushed BaiYing’s messy hair.

“Your Majesty, it’s been told not to go up,” said Yan.

“Yes Your Majesty, what if Your Majesty really falls down?” continued Bi.

While patting his clothes, BaiYing glanced at the young man who kept looking at him, as if he had seen him somewhere, but that person was too pretentious to be a hero, he could get down by himself.

“Ying’er can do it, everything is under control”

“What’s under control? If Your Majesty gets hurt we will be punished by His Highness the Crown Prince.”

BaiYing pursed his lips.

“You guys are just exaggerating.”

The young man lifted his head to look at BaiYing, unable to shake off the smile on his face.

“I must be so lucky today, to be able to meet these very charming concubines in person, this is truly my lucky day”

Just as BaiYing was about to answer someone from afar shouted.

“Master Yi! I’ve been looking for you everywhere!”

Someone appeared from the end of the street, Lan’er and Fan’er looked at each other, why is the Crown Prince’s palace which is so tightly guarded now being so crowded and easily visited by foreigners?

A young man of a large figure, in wide golden clothes with slightly high sleeves showing off his large arm muscles, slightly dark golden skin, short curly hair with a chin held high, walked very leisurely toward BaiYing and the others followed by his maids and guards who also have big stature with a fierce face.

He was none other than the young prince of NuMen, LoYi, a young man with not so attractive face, a little bit of dark skin, high eyebrows, very big eyes, the young man stopped near YiXing.
