CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

The Crown Prince sat behind Bai Ying who had just finished bathing. His long, silky hair fell just like that almost touching the floor where he was sitting. Luo Xiang couldn’t stop smiling, combing Bai Ying’s long, smooth and fragrant silky hair.

“Hemh, my Ying Ying’s hair is indeed very smooth and soft.”

Luo Xiang kissed Bai Ying’s neck feeling all the fragrant smell from the body of the young man who had just finished bathing after soaking in the hot fragrance water, it is really seductive.

Bai Ying shuddered as he felt the Crown Prince’s rough chin full of tiny hairs touching his neck.

“Akh Your Majesty, it’s tickling, Your Majesty seems to have shaved already.”

Luo Xiang touch his chin, indeed since looking for Bai Ying day and night he didn’t pay attention to his own appearance at all, he had not shaved for several days.

“Em, does my Ying Ying want to help me shave?”

Luo Xiang whispered lifting Bai Ying’s slender fingers. He grasped his two smooth palms and shifted the young man to face him.

.....

Bai Ying smiled, he withdrew his hand from the Crown Prince’s grip, from his eyes Bai Ying could see the man was looking at him as if he was about to swallow him whole after being satisfied to see him without even moving, he think he knew how the Crown Prince felt for him at that time.

“Em, Your Majesty, should Ying also back with Your Majesty to the Crown Prince’s palace? Ying wants to stay with grandma a little longer,” said Bai Ying. His words made Luo Xiang stop his movement. Seeing Bai Ying for a while.

“Does, Ying Ying doesn’t want to come with me to the palace? After all, Ying is my concubine, a concubine has to go wherever the Crown Prince goes, that is the duty of a concubine.”

Bai Ying pursed his lips, there it was, he should already know the answer, the authoritarian Crown Prince. Bai Ying looked at Luo Xiang with his big eyes, in his memory, the rude Crown Prince always forced his will on him.

“But Your Majesty, I still have a family, I have my father and mother, I have my sister Bai Yen, I also have Grandma and brother Ming Ming, they all need Ying er too, right.”

Luo Xiang held Bai Ying’s wrist, pulling the young man closer, so close to him that Bai Ying could hear Luo Xiang’s heavy breathing.

“No one needs my Ying Ying more than I do, your home is in the Crown Prince’s palace, we have already discussed this before that Ying will become my concubine even if you are already a Viceroy of Xin Hua, nothing can change all that”

“But Yang Your Majesty, I am not Your Majesty’s concubine, Your Majesty’s concubine is my sister, and I think she will be so happy to know that His Majesty the Crown Prince is not what she thought all this time.”

Luo Xiang looked at Bai Ying’s innocent face who looked up at him with a pair of big round eyes, the kid has absolutely no recollection of what really happened. What if he remembered? That would definitely make him very upset.

“Then, I won’t let you return to your home.”

Bai Ying puffed his mouth out.

“B-but why Your Majesty? Your Majesty said he would take Ying anywhere? Your Majesty can’t take back your words, you promised me yesterday”

Luo Xiang’s large palm held Bai Ying’s wrist which was so small to him.

“That’s, that’s because, uh, anyway Ying Ying can’t go home yet, at least, go with brother to the palace until you recover”

“But Ying is not sick, Your Majesty, look, I’m so healthy, eats a lot and often exercise, Your Majesty saw for yourself right?”

Luo Xiang saw Bai Ying’s pair of eyes looking at him as if waiting for his answer.

“Ying Ying is still not well, didn’t you hear what the physician say that Ying should get lots of rest, take regular medication, and shouldn’t move much.”

“Can’t, Your Majesty, Father and Mother must have really missed Ying, Ying er wants to see how they are doing, and also look for sister Yen Yen and tell her if she can get her position as Crown Prince’s concubine back, Your Majesty has not forgotten that all this time Your Majesty’s concubine was sister Yen Yen and not Ying er”

Bai Ying was about to pull his hand but the Crown Prince’s grip was very tight on him.

“I don’t want your sister, Ying Ying is the only one, do you think that after your sister comes to the palace can make Ying leave like that?”

Bai Ying stuttered, the Crown Prince’s gaze at that time looked very serious.

“B-but Your Majesty, no matter what, this position belongs to my sister, Her Majesty the Queen will be very angry if she finds out Ying has been lying to her all along, what if she punishes my entire family? This can’t be allowed Your Majesty, uh, Your Majesty please let go of my hand”

“Your sister is dead, your father and mother, the entire family of Hua are gone, Ying, why can’t you remember it?” cried the Crown Prince out of anger for Bai Ying’s stubbornness.

Bai Ying’s eyes widened at the Crown Prince’s words.

“W-what do you mean Your Majesty, how... that, that’s not true right? That, just a bad dream, Your Majesty just scare Ying, right?”

Bai Ying tried to release the Crown Prince’s grip and push him away from him but the man didn’t budge at all. Luo Xiang tightened his grip, pulled the boy closer and pulled his back waist closer to him.

“That’s the truth, did Ying forget it too? Brother thought you only forgot about our love, but you also forgot about the death of your entire family? They were all killed by the Black Water Clan led by your great grandfather Wu Yi, all of them, without exception, you even almost died because that person also tried to kill you, did you really forget about all of it?”

Bai Ying couldn’t hold back his tears, his memories of how his family was killed came back, about how his father and mother were, as well as the whole Hua family that was covered in blood before his eyes. Bai Ying’s chest hurts, and his breath is tight, how could he forget all that.

“Hoh hoh, no, t-thats...”

Luo Xiang worriedly saw Bai Ying’s pale face. He lowered his head to see the young man’s face.

“Ying, are you okay?” His two large palms held Bai Ying’s cheeks.

Bai Ying cried, he pushed Luo Xiang’s chest away from him.

“Do not touch me! Hoh hoh, that, it must not be true, it was all just a dream, Your Majesty is a liar, it’s not true, no, father, mother, sister” he almost stumbled down but the young man pushed Luo Xiang backwards makes the big man almost fell so he can run toward the door, his hair loose from the tied.

“Ying Ying!”

Luo Xiang was too late to hold Bai Ying’s hand when the boy was already running towards the door, having a hard time getting up from his seat, Luo Xiang rushed to chase Bai Ying out.

“Ying Ying!”

Chen Ming who had just entered the gate stopped his steps when he saw Bai Ying running from inside the house. He was about to grab his brother’s hand but Bai Ying’s steps were really fast.

“Brother!”

Bai Ying’s two maids chased from behind.

“Your Majesty, please wait!”

Chen Ming didn’t have time to ask what happened because the few maids seemed to be in a great hurry.

“Eh” and before long the Crown Prince also appeared running from inside the house, almost past him but this time Chen Ming managed to hold his hand.

“Rotten Crown Prince what happened?”

Luo Xiang couldn’t wait to catch up to Bai Ying but Chen Ming’s hand held him back.

“Let me go, I want to chase Ying Ying”

Chen Ming held Luo Xiang’s hand tightly.

“Tell me what happened? My brother’s face is so sad are you bullying him? Rotten Crown Prince”

Luo Xiang threw Chen Ming’s hand who was looking at him with big eyes.

“He was just remembering the fact that his entire family had died, of course, he was sad, what do you think he would feel?”

Chen Ming pushed the Crown Prince’s shoulder looking at him intently.

“How can you say that to him! You know how devastated little brother was by that incident, why don’t you try to speak more gently to him, this guy really.” He would have almost hit the young man were it not for Bei Yau being suddenly step in front of him.

“Your Honour!”

Luo Xiang clenched his fists, he didn’t want to pay attention to Chen Ming and chased after Bai Ying but Chen Ming’s voice stopped him.

“Right now my little brother may not want to see your face, you better not chased him.” Chen Ming threw his hands away, stared at Luo Xiang’s face, then at Bei Yau who was standing in front of the Crown Prince.

The young prince threw his hands away in annoyance and walked out of the gate following where Bai Ying was.

Luo Xiang raised his front hair which had fallen from his haste earlier, he held his breath, how could he say that to Ying Ying? What has he done?

“hey Ying Ying”
