CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

153 The Crumb

LuoXiang glanced at BeiYau.

“Bei, what did your men find out about the movement of the Black Water Clan?” he asked, BeiYau lowered his head.

“Report Your Majesty, as what Your Majesty had expected, my men found the movement of the Black Water clan in considerable numbers near the border of the SuiLian forest, although my subordinates did not succeed in following them to their destination the last sighting was seen in the depths of the SuiLian forest.

Shinya stroke his chin,

“According to your Majesty is ..

LuoXiang sat up.

“That boy is from SuiLian, from his clothes and habits, he is not a child who is used to living in the city, but, judging by his demeanor, he is also not a stupid child, his eyes are sharp, his grasping ability is high, he is quite smart, and if true he admits as the Young Prince of WahYe, we can guess that somewhere in SuiLian there might still be a large group of Palace families, or their descendants gathering together and maybe planning a rebellion, at first, I didn’t want to think about it just yet, bringing the Young Prince to stay while assuming he was part of the guests, however, hearing from Bei’s men, make me think about that WahYe Palace Descendant, is the person behind the Black Water Clan.”

Hearing the Crown Prince’s words, ShinYa nodded thoughtfully.

“Hem, it’s true that there is a possibility, um, forgive servant, Your Majesty, although, I have no contact at all with the Palace family, but are Your Majesty sure that I am not part of the rebels?” asked ShinYa while lowering his head in front of LuoXiang.

.....

LuoXiang glanced at the young shaman, the Great shaman he didn’t know how great was, why did they call him that?

“Are you one of them?” LuoXiang asked.

ShinYa was speechless for a moment until he bowed his head again to salute the Crown Prince.

“I only have the ability to find the pure heir of the WahYe kingdom, other else, I can’t, even if servant master little martial arts, but, what does my ability compare to Guard Bei, let alone Your Highness the Crown Prince”

LuoXiang stood up from his seat, linked his two hands behind his waist.

“Heh, whatever it is, Mr Shin, I am still not trusting you, but right now I might need you more, just think about what I can to keep my YingYing safe, just remember that”

ShinYa swallowed hard, no also raised his head until the Crown Prince headed to the exit.

“Come on Bei, it’s getting late, I want to go home and enjoy dinner with YingYing, you come along, I want you to take care of that boy so as not to get too close to Concubine Hua”

BeiYau nodded, he followed behind the Crown Prince.

“Yes Your Majesty”

Arriving at the door.

“Master Shin, how long are you going to stand there? YingYing also invited you to dinner today, the servants have cooked quite a lot” LuoXiang exclaimed.

ShinYa, still standing in the middle of the room, straightened his body and followed the Crown Prince immediately.

“Y-Yes Your Majesty”

.........

Bruk. Brakk, prang!

A commotion sounded from BaiYing’s room as LuoXiang entered the Plum Pavilion’s living room together with ShinYa and BeiYau.

“His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!” cried the doorman.

But even though the shout was so loud it didn’t make BaiYing who was in the room to come out, that boy, who said invited them to have dinner.

“YingYing!” he shouted entering the room,

BaiYing’s maids greet him when they saw the Crown Prince enter, while BaiYing seemed to be so busy looking for something on his desk that he didn’t notice the Crown Prince’s presence.

“Your Highness.”

LuoXiang’s hand held BaiYing’s hand for the young man to straighten his body towards him.

“YingYing what are you looking for?”

BaiYing looked restless, he looked around, to the bottom of the bed all over the room.

“Your Majesty, I lost it, that thing, I clearly saw sister Yan put it in the drawer, but, now I can’t find it anywhere”

BaiYing who looked confused continued to search every corner, the Crown Prince was still trying to pull BaiYing’s arm to stand up but the young man who looked panicked and didn’t stop looking non-stop, his eyes were red as if he were holding back tears.

“YingYing, what can’t you find? What is that?”

LuoXiang glanced at the BaiYing maids who were standing next by the door.

“What’s missing?” he asked, his two maids looking at BaiYing and getting nervous too.

“My majesty, Necklace, Your Highness Concubine Hua, this morning I helped put it in the drawer, but, while looking for it, Your Majesty can’t find it” said Yan

Hearing that ShinYa’s eyes widened, such an important object.

BaiYing’s two maids lowered their bodies to their knees together,

“Forgive us Your Majesty, I’m sure I still saw the thing when I put it and left the room this morning, but-but...” Yan continued nervously.

“Is it possible it fall in the valley? You went to the valley this morning right?” LuoXiang asked.

BaiYing approached, he shook his head.

“I didn’t bring it, Your Majesty, that’s why I put it in the room, but, could it fall outside, what, I forgot to pick it up earlier? Sister Yan has clearly put it in the drawer, oh, where is it?” BaiYing was restless and was right on the verge of tears, right now all his worst feelings were rising, it was so precious, it was the last relic from his mother, how could I neglect and being so careless.”

When everyone lowered their bodies trying to find the floor, a voice came from the door.

“Eh sorry, but, what, you guys looking for this?” hearing that voice, all heads turned towards the door, where ChenMing was already standing holding a chain with a pendulum hanging from his hand. BaiYing widened his eyes, without a second thought he immediately approached.

“Yes it is, oh, thank goodness” BaiYing grabbed the coin quickly and held it, seeing ChenMing’s face standing in front of him as if to say that he should thank him, he then hugged the young man.

“Young Master Chen, thank you for finding it, oh this is a very valuable item.”

Crown Prince approached, he immediately pulled BaiYing from hugging the young man, his eyes sharp at the young man standing straight in front of him as if nothing happened, ChenMing who now suddenly showed his broad smile in front of the Crown Prince and bowed his head.

“Hehe Your Majesty”

LuoXiang pulled BaiYing behind him away from the young man, while BaiYing was so happy to show the necklace to his two maids, LuoXiang actually felt very strange.

“Young master Chen, where did you find the necklace?” he asked.

ChenMing pointed towards the outside of the house.

“Em in the front garden, while walking, my foot accidentally stepped on something hard, when I looked it turned out to be a necklace, uh, it’s really belonged to Concubine Hua?”

While Yan and Bi glanced at each other and shrugged their shoulders.

LuoXiang looked at the young man, as if he didn’t want to take it too long, he approached BaiYing again,

“How did you drop it in the garden? Isn’t this the most precious thing to you? Why don’t you wear it around your neck?” LuoXiang asked, he raised his hand to brush BaiYing’s front hair, bending the corner of his sleeve to wipe the tears from BaiYing’s eyes who were now smiling at him.

“Heh, I don’t remember how it got there Your Majesty.”

“Heh look at your face, red like this” LuoXiang pulled BaiYing in his arms, gently stroking his back.

“This kid”

ChenMing who had been smiling widely since then tried to keep smiling, though, he clenched his fists tightly.

........

Throughout dinner.

FuLan seemed to be busy serving ShinYa happily, several times always offering side dishes to the young man sitting not far beside her, while AYa didn’t want to be far from BaiYing, she sat right beside him while the Crown Prince was on his left, both of them were busy handing food to BaiYing,

“Here, eat more, this soup is your favorite,” said LuoXiang, filling BaiYing’s bowl with fish soup. BaiYing nodded cheerfully.

“Sure, Ying’er likes everything, Brother Tu is good at picking out the fish, it’s so fresh.”

Meanwhile, AYa also chops grilled meat into BaiYing’s bowl.

“Ying’er, this is delicious, not too spicy, try it, this is Kili’s recipe”

BaiYing’s eyes widened,

“Really? Wow, this is a new taste, I want to try it.”

The Crown Prince looked at aYa with sharp eyes, he took the rice bowl right in front of BaiYing and replaced it with the soup bowl he just filled.

“Drink the soup first, it has ginger to keep you warm, eat that later”

Hearing that aYa He narrowed her eyes at LuoXiang who was also glaring at her, that person is such annoying.

BaiYing smiled until his eyes disappeared, all his favorite foods were right in front of him, he could out of hand.

“Wow, it’s all look delicious, Ying’er can’t wait to eat them all”

“How can you eat them all your stomach is about to explode,” FuLan said, all laughing at BaiYing’s ridiculous face, the young man could only scratch his head clumsy.

“Hehehehe”

LuoXiang’s hand was raised closer to BaiYing who opened his eyes and almost jumped to see the Crown Prince was very close to him.

In LuoXiang’s view, BaiYing’s soft red lips were so seductive, and there were rice flakes on the edges of his lips, flakes that seemed to be calling his name to get closer at, owh, too bad to miss, that crumb looks very tempting.

.....

“Your Majesty, please move a bit” BaiYing whispered.

LuoXiang brought his face closer, held BaiYing’s hand, tilted his head, let his soft hair fall aside, and picking up the leftover food on the edge of BaiYing’s lips, with his lips.

“Ummp”

Everyone held their breath looking at it, including aYa who suddenly became hot with anger.

“Ich that person” FuLan’s hand quickly closed the girl’s eyes, who’s about to explode because the scene was too romantic in front of her.

“AYa, aYa, try to calm down, take a deep breath, don’t be emotional,”

BaiYing’s eyes widened, he didn’t expect the Crown Prince to do so too, he stuttered and push the man’s chest away.

“Umm, Your Majesty what are you doing? There are so many people here, why is Your Majesty kissing me?” Bai Ying whispered.
