109 Small Party
“I’ve found out, that everybody thinks Concubine Hua is a girl, except for his personal maids who knew about his true identity, and that means Your Majesty might already know it from the start. Concubine Hua is indeed very beautiful, his skin is even whiter and smoother than I’am, his gentle voice, thoughtful, and that smile, is very beautiful, but, he is only a boy, what, you can do to him? I know that His Highness the Crown Prince is deliberately doing this so Her Majesty the Queen won’t find another concubine for you, but, does His Majesty not think about Concubine Hua future? No matter how beautiful he is, he is not a woman, moreover, not the right choice so that one day you will get bored and throw him away, he has his own life, what do people have to act in front of him?”
Her words made the Crown Prince turn his head, look at the Princess with a sharp gaze, he stepped forward, raised his hand to hold the Princess’ chin as if to strangle her slim neck that was enough with just one LuoXiang’s big palm.
“What did you say? You deliberately provoked my anger?”
Princess aYa tried to break loose from the big hand holding her neck, she could see a pair of fiery eyes from the Crown Prince’s very sharp gaze as if he was a giant demon ready to pounce on her.
“I will say this just once, Princess KaYa, you can say or do whatever you want about me, but, never insult my YingYing, he is mine, I don’t need to say about how I feel about my concubine, who do you think you are, to say a nonsense words thing about my YingYing. I don’t mind if you refuse or tell everyone about my badness, it’s a small thing to me, and also, I don’t like people who threaten me the most, the second those words come out of your pretty mouth, that second your head will fly off your neck, you think I’m too good for all your ridiculous threats?”
Princess aYa tried to struggle, she couldn’t let go of LuoXiang’s hand which was choking her, and could feel how much anger he was released until a sound from the door woke the furious Crown Prince.
“Your Majesty!” Bai Ying’s voice.
His eyes widened as he saw what was happening in the garden where only the Crown Prince and Princess AYa there, along with his maids BaiYing approached quickly, just as LuoXiang let go of his grip on Princess AYa’s neck.
Princess aYa coughed, her two personal maids who came in with BaiYing checked her out.
.....
“Princess”
BaiYing looked at the Crown Prince with big eyes, as if he couldn’t believe what he had just seen.
“Your Majesty, what are you doing?”
Princess AYa looked at the Crown Prince sharply, then limped slightly towards the gate assisted by her two maids.
The Crown Prince approached BaiYing and grabbed his hand, but the young man brushed it off. He couldn’t forget what he had just seen, that the Crown Prince had acted rudely to a weak girl in front of his eyes.
“YingYing”
“What did Your Highness do just now? You’re threatening Princess aYa?” he asked.
The Crown Prince shook his head.
“No, who threatened her? We just had a normal conversation, you must have seen it wrong”
“No I’m not, I clearly saw Your Majesty’s hand strangling her neck, she is a weak girl Your Majesty, why did Your Majesty act so rude to her? That’s not the attitude of a real gentleman.”
BaiYing kept avoiding the Crown Prince’s hand that was about to touch him until the two of them chase around the garden.
“No it’s not like that, YingYing misunderstood, just listen first”
“I don’t want to hear it”
...
BaiYing headed to the Eagle pavilion to inform the Crown Prince that Concubine Fu had returned to her pavilion, and they had a small party to welcome her.
BaiYing’s face couldn’t stop smiling seeing how much food Concubine Fu had brought from her city especially for him, so much that it filled the table, not to mention gifts for Concubine Lui, for him and the Crown Prince.
“Wow, sister this is really good,” said Fan’er looking at the cloth Lan’er bought for her, while BaiYing’s eyes couldn’t stop admiring the wooden boxes containing the dry food that Lan’er brought for him, sweets, pastries, fresh fruits, all of which made BaiYing so tempted to swallow his saliva.
“Wow, this looks delicious.”
BaiYing tried the boxed food that had been laid out on the table, while the Crown Prince sat on a chair not far from his concubines crossing his legs enjoying his tea and snacks, BeiYau was right behind him.
“Those girls, they love giving gifts like that, and that brat YingYing puts any food into his mouth if his stomach hurts he will nagging all night”
“Officer Fu became a farmer in his town, so all of this food is mostly made by the concubine’s Lui family, I think there will be no problem, Your Majesty.” said BeiYau.
The Crown Prince couldn’t stop looking at BaiYing who couldn’t stop smiling and laughing.
“Still, look at his so thin body, if he eats too much he will vomit at night, otherwise he won’t be able to sleep, that kid never pays attention to his own body condition”
BeiYau suppressed his smile, he had never seen the Crown Prince know so well about concubine Hua more than anyone else, before this, the Prince never bother to know about other people’s business let alone think about it, it’s really funny to see the Crown Prince’s face who is now often always anxious to see concubine Hua even though the kid is in front of him.
“This one is so good sis, it’s for Ying’er right?” BaiYing exclaimed, Lan’er nodded her head as she saw BaiYing lift up one of the fiery red cloths knitted with glittering gold threads.
“Yes, it was specially given by Father, he left it for you, do you like it?”
BaiYing nodded.
“Of course, it’s pretty sis, Ying’er likes it”
....
The night was getting late, the party was over and everyone returned to their respective places, except for BaiYing who was tired of falling asleep on the chair in the living room after filling his small stomach with lots of food, he looked so tired that Lan’er couldn’t bear to wake him up.
“Heh this Ying’er”
Lan’er straightened her body when she saw the Crown Prince approaching, she gave way to the Crown Prince who was about to lift BaiYing’s body, but Lan’er’s hand stopped him.
“Your Majesty.”
Lan’er stared at the Crown Prince for a moment who turned his head to look at her.
Sherrrr.
The sound of hot tea being poured out of the kettle filled half of the Crown Prince’s cup, with both hands Lan’er handed the cup in front of the Crown Prince who was sitting in front of her. The two of them sat not far from the couch where BaiYing had fallen asleep and was delirious.
“Give it to me”
Lan’er smiles, the Crown Prince noticed the change in the concubine’s face after going through a bad incident and returned to the palace, she looked like two completely different people.
“How is official Fu doing?” asked the Crown Prince.
Lan’er smiles.
“It’s an honor Your Majesty is still asking about my father, he is fine, since returning to DuShan father has eaten a lot, he, maybe he is getting so fat by now, I have reminded him not to eat too much to maintain his health, but father said he likes it, he is enjoying his retirement happily.”
The Crown Prince took a sip of his tea, then slowly put it back on his saucer.
“That’s good, official Fu has always wanted to be a farmer, this is his retirement dream”
Lan’er nodded her head, she tried to stop herself from crying, but couldn’t, the tears kept flowing from her beautiful eyes.
“Ems, all of these events, made me understand, how all this time I had become complacent and forgot about myself, almost harmed Ying brother, almost lost my father, servant, felt very inappropriate and very embarrassed to appear before His Majesty and younger brother Ying, however, I am determined to spend the rest of my life serving His Majesty, and also, younger brother Ying”
The Crown Prince frowned, he had been hearing Concubine Fu call BaiYing for Ying’s younger brother ever since, what did the concubine in front of him know?
“Concubine Fu, what do you mean by brother Ying? You, calling concubine Hua as Ying’er brother?”
Lan’er nodded her head, she looked at BaiYing who was still sleeping so soundly that he unconsciously put his thumb in his mouth, he slept like a baby, Lan’er couldn’t help but smile seeing BaiYing’s cute face at that time.
“He, is HuaBaiYing, not HuaBaiYen”
Lan’er’s answer made the Crown Prince straighten up, widened his eyes, the fact that Concubine Fu knew BaiYing’s true identity.
“You already know who he is?”
Lan’er nodded, she wiped her tears quickly.
“Yes, I found out from Mu’er’s sister, she knew Ying’er brother’s identity from the beginning, she planned to kick brother Ying out and become the next empress, she urges me to tell everyone the truth or she’s going to kill father, I wanted to do it, to save my father, but, when Ying’er brother came and said that I could do it for the sake of my father, ems, I felt so guilty, and, when I heard the news about my father who killing brother Ying, servant, ems, had no other choice but to commit suicide, in order to save my father.”
Lan’er couldn’t help herself and burst into tears.
“And, Father, said when he was almost killed by the guards, Ying brother pushed and saved him, even after what father did to him, Ying’er still saved him, I don’t know what I was thinking, how could I think so evilly of Ying’er?”
The Crown Prince held his breath for a while.
“So, it was also you, who instigated your father to kidnap BaiYing from the start?”
Lan’er, who was trying to hold back her tears, slowly nodded her head.
“I-I think, if everyone finds out about the truth of brother Ying’s identity, then my mistake will be forgiven itself, Mu’er sister who said that, so I asked Father to take Ying’er to a place where he will be found after he disappeared for a while, leaving him so weak that he couldn’t fight back, but, who would have guessed, if Mu’er blatantly framed father and told everyone the truth, I’d been deceived.”
