CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

He and BaiYing sat on a large rock in front of LuiHe lake, BaiYing’s favorite place.

The young man lifted his head to see where the sky now is slowly getting dark.

“Em, in these couple days there will be a lantern festival in the center of the city, it must be very beautiful, sister Yan and Bi said that at that time everyone will go there and make wishes on paper lanterns that fly and be burned in the sky, heh, it’s the same everywhere, last year, I still had the chance to see it with my sister BaiYen, at that time, my sister made a wish so that she would find a very good mate this year, but...”

The Crown Prince put his arm around BaiYing’s shoulders, pulling him closer, BaiYing just glanced at him, he’ll just let him do it for now, after all, there’s a lot of things that have happened lately, things beyond his imagination, and what’s is the difference from a perverted Crown Prince who likes to touch him here and there, and, BaiYing felt, that man might have melted his heart, well, even if it just a little.

“Em, does YingYing want to make a wish on the lantern? How about, if we make our own lantern festival, we take your maid, Bei, em, and other concubines, or even the Second Prince, to make it more crowded.”

BaiYing opened his eyes wide, his facial expression changed, he held the Crown Prince’s sleeve tightly.

“Really, Your Majesty? Shall we do it?”

The Crown Prince nodded.

.....

“Yes, of course, em, BeiYau’s guards are very talented in making lanterns, later let him do the lantern making business,” said the Crown Prince while glancing at BeiYau who was standing not far behind him, as if deliberately so his bodyguards would hear it, Bei scratched his head, thinking, Is there really such a crew? Was it because the Crown Prince only wanted to please BaiYing, heh, this was another hard task, he had to train them quickly.

“Then, the street merchant? At the lantern festival, there are many street food vendors, there are dried squid, dumplings, em peanut cake, then, sweet fish, candied fruit, then, um, oh yeah paper masks, Your Majesty, if there are paper masks of various shapes, which is so good, it will be fun, I can’t wait just by imagining it.”

The Crown Prince glanced at BeiYau with his big eyes, from the sharp gaze he hoped his guard would remember what BaiYing said earlier, this bad, BeiYau forgot everything, so many things BaiYing had mentioned earlier.

And it seems Prince Crown doesn’t want to know, all of BaiYing mentioned just now should be ready by two days from now, no excuse, he exclaimed in his eyes to BeiYau at that time, his personal guard surely understand the look in his eyes now.

“Em, I’ve never been to the lantern festival either, but hearing YingYing’s story it seems it’s full of fun.”

BaiYing nodded.

“Of course Your Majesty, last year, at the festival me and sister Yen brought the rabbit and tortoise home, now they have grown very big and fat, how cute.”

The Crown Prince glanced.

“They sell rabbits too?” he asked, BaiYing nodded.

“Yes, a small and cute white bunny, my sister also had time to buy flowers, there were so many of them, after all, it was more exciting to experience the festival in person, well, if we could go out one day, I will invite His Majesty to enjoy all the fun of the festival night, which is leaving so much good impression.” BaiYing lifted his head dreamily.

The Crown Prince held BaiYing’s back of the head.

“It’s really left such an impression? Well, hemh, that’s what I really want, we make a very good impression so we don’t forget it forever, I promise, later when the situation is safe, we will take part in the real lantern festival in the city”

BaiYing leaned his head on The Crown Prince’s shoulder..

He smiled, not expecting much at the moment, just being able to enjoy a safe and quiet time with the Crown Prince was already a pleasure for him, so, he would really enjoy the festival they set up later, just thinking about it made him smile and couldn’t wait for it.

“Hehe, thank you, Your Majesty, this will be very pleasant.”

The Crown Prince nodded. He glanced at BeiYau and gave him a sharp look, as if to say, then? what else was he doing there? Quickly prepare everything! BeiYau understood the meaning behind the Crown Prince’s gaze and gentle shake until he excused himself and hurried off.

“Ready Your Majesty”

........

In the depths of the forest not far from the city borders of SanPo.

Whoossh!

The sound of the wind could be heard clearly between the trees that grew densely and tightly, several black shadows darted from one tree to another and had time to make some twigs and leave far away lightly float to the ground.

Sheets!

The sound of slashing swords and machetes follows by footsteps on the ground and stomping back to jump on the tree, at a glance it seemed several people in black clothes were chasing and surrounding someone not far in front until finally pushed to the center, YiFang, who was part of the body, legs, and his hand looks injured from being stabbed by a sharp weapon, his eyes are still staring intently at the several black-clothed people who surrounded him from the top of the tree, YiFang smirked.

“Hehe, wants to kill me, Who do you think I am? Come on, you all!” YiFang shouted loudly slamming his bloodied hands and fast forward towards the tree, his speed was incredible, even one of the black-clothed men who were on top of the tree couldn’t dodge when YiFang was behind him, then with his bare hands twisted his neck.

Prakk!

He searched for the weakest first, grabbed the dead man’s weapon, and shot at the other men who surrounded him.

“Either you or I die today!” he exclaimed.

....

Crown Prince’s office.

The Crown Prince was still turning the pages of administrative reports in front of him when BeiYau walked in from the door, the day had just begun but he was already surrounded by tons of work waiting for him.

“Bei”

BeiYau lowered his body in salute before approaching.

“Your Majesty, YiFang’s traces were found near the SanPo border to the Black Valley, it’s possible that he might return to the Clan Black Water Valley, or might become a prisoner, or, might as well have been killed”

The Crown Prince was still reading his report seriously.

“YiFang has great martial arts skills, whether he joins voluntarily or flee, it’s his only choice, these people have simple thoughts but are right on the target, burn the prison, enter the Palace, anything can be thought of”

“Your Majesty, regarding Official Mao, what is Your Majesty planning? Official Mao didn’t admit that he even gave the seal of the pass I showed you, it was indeed his seal but he admitted that he had never seen that travel pass before”

“So, what do you think about this Bei?” asked the Crown Prince.
