CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

346 Their Real Mask

The three of them made BaiYing subconsciously approach, the young man innocently stood not far in front of the table looking at SuLang and his two friends, his eyes seriously looked at the young man who was starting to get a little uncomfortable because a beggar was looking at him.

“Look, young master Su, someone wants to ask for your bowl of noodles, just give it, you bought two bowls anyway,” said the young man as if teasing SuLang.

BaiYing was really hungry, and the smell of the noodle soup made his legs move without him realizing it, he realized he had stood too close when SuLang looked at him.

“Ouch” BaiYing quickly turned away, bad, why is he looking for trouble, what if those people are not what he expected? According to his brother, SuLang is not a very good gentleman, he is arrogant and likes to oppress the weak, he does not want to deal with such people.

But when BaiYing turned his body around.

“You there, stop!” SuLang’s voice was loud, it was definitely aimed at him.

“Eh” BaiYing stuttered, should he just run? But, this young master Su might be able to show the way to CuiAn, the young man slowly turned his body.

“Eh me?”

SuLang nodded, he pushed a bowl of noodles in front of him.

.....

“This, eat this, I have no appetite anymore”

BaiYing hesitated, is this person real or just joking? However, the young man’s face was serious, his eyes were on BaiYing waiting for his reaction.

“Then what are you waiting for?”

SuLang’s loud voice the umpteenth time made BaiYing lift his leg, the noodles did look really good, his saliva was dripping, he was so hungry that his energy might run out, did he have any other choice at this time? At least with his clothes and head covering, no one would recognize him.

The young man took a step forward, his hand almost grabbed the still hot noodle bowl when one of SuLang’s colleagues suddenly pushed the bowl to the edge of the table, BaiYing’s eyes widened as he saw the food fall because it was sliding too fast, falling heavily with all its contents into the ground.

“Prang!!” the sound of bowls breaking was loud, making all eyes turn to them, even the shop owner.

“Oops, it fell down.”

BaiYing backed away quickly, the drop of noodles almost hit his shoes, his shiny shoes which he forgot to cover with his shabby robe. SuLang’s eyes widened, he got up from his seat looking at his partner with bulging eyes.

“What are you doing?”

His partner only smiled lightly.

“Heh, I wanted to give it to him, but what can I do, my strength is too strong, please pardon me, but, here, there is still some left on the bowl, if he takes it, it’s still eatable,” said the young man casually looking at BaiYing as if insulting him, and BaiYing still not realizing that, he thought it was a pity the noodle bowl and all its contents just fell down while he was so hungry.

SuLang pushed his friend.

“You are a moron! Who else can eat food that has fallen like that, crazy! Get away from my sight!” he was furious.

The owner of the stall approached, a sad face to see when one of his bowls fell to the ground.

“Oh customer, it’s all broken, how about this, I only have a couples bowl”

SuLang looked at his partner.

“Ask him to pay! And this too, all these noodles, ask this very rich person to pay for it, this idiot who dropped it.”

His colleague was surprised by SuLang’s words.

“Eh young master Su, obviously you are the one who eats and this beggar too, why do I have to pay?”

SuLang was annoyed, he could no longer enjoy the food that had just entered his stomach a bit, he immediately grabbed his long spear and was about to stand up and leave, but a voice stopped him.

“Wow, what’s this crowd? Why is it that on this beautiful day there are people who pollute the air with unpleasant voices?”

A young man who was followed by two bodyguards approached, a young master with beautiful clothes, a sparkling clean face, BaiYing also recognized him, quite well, he was ShiShen.

Two of SuLang’s comrades immediately approached and greeted ShiShen who was definitely going to be the Young Minister of Defense, the young man looked different from the last time BaiYing saw him in the palace.

“Young master Shi, oh my mistake, Your Honorable Minister of Defense” exclaimed one of the youths who clenched his fists in front of his face inviting ShiShen to sit where they were before, in front of SuLang who was already standing holding his spear, ShiShen opened his fan, smiling seeing an annoying face SuLang.

“Young master Su, why are you so grumpy? It’s a beautiful day, why don’t you enjoy the beautiful air of SuiLian city before you return to your city.”

SuLang swallowed his saliva, he was already holding back his anger and now came the person who made him even more irritated, ignoring the young man, he approached BaiYing who was still standing In his place, BaiYing didn’t expect the youth to hold his hand without hesitation.

“I have other things to do”

BaiYing stuttered as the young man pulled him away, why involve him in their business? Why didn’t he leave when he had the chance, stupid BaiYing.

“Eh M-master”

But ShiShen’s voice stopped him again.

“Young master Su, it is a pity that you return to SuChou city so soon, what are you going to do? Back to being an administrative officer in big lord Su’s office? Or, become a thug in the market town of SuChou? It’s a shame isn’t it, all the talent you have”

Hearing ShiShen’s words which sounded a bit condescending, according to SuLang, he turned around, the young man let go of his grip on BaiYing’s hand, good, BaiYing thought, it’s time for him to run away, while no one seeing him, he slipped away.

“Then what do you mean by that, Young Master Shi, esteemed Minister of Defense?” asked SuLang while holding back annoyance.

Even though he was far away, BaiYing was a bit curious about the conversation of the two young men whose nature and attitude looked quite different from their first meeting, this looked very interesting, he thought he would find a safe place to eavesdrop from a distance.

ShiShen was seen speaking in a relaxed tone while looking at his fingernails.

“Um, the Young Minister of Defense’s office will need a head guard, I heard it’s a bit difficult to find someone who can withstand His Highness Prince ChenMing’s attacks in three moves, usually, people will fall in one fell swoop, and, you are, quite powerful Young Master Su, are you interested in becoming the head of the guard of the Minister’s Office? I don’t think the palace will mind.”

Two youths standing behind ShiShen nodded, seeing the reaction of SuLang who was still standing where he was, made the youth grin.

“Hehe, who once said, that XinHua palace is not an elite palace, just a bunch of people with too many treasures busy gathering formidable accomplices, there are also those who used to say, that palace family members are nothing, and if legend the matter of the Viceroy subduing the divine dragon is just a figment, all of that is just a fabrication to gather as much support as possible, who was saying, that XinHua was not drowned by a rocky mountain, but was covered by many trees and dust so that it could not be seen from the outside.”

ShiShen pursed his lips.

“Um, who is that? How presumptuous.”

The two youths standing behind ShiShen looked at each other, furrowing their brows questioningly.

“Yeah, who was that?”

“Hehehe what, you mean Young Master Su, I’m the one who told you all of that?” asked ShiShen.

SuLang gripped the hilt of his wand tightly, holding back his annoyance.

“Isn’t it? Young Master Shi said all the entrance exams to become a high official in XinHua are just bullshit, you keep talking if you don’t want to be any officials there not to mention as Young Minister because the palace is even nothing compared to SuiLian city officials, but, this is very strange, why is it that Young Master Shi has now managed to lick the face of the main advisor and the royal family and enter the palace that you deem so unworthy to your visit?”

Hearing SuLang’s words, ShiShen laughed.

“Oh that, hahaha please forgive me, Young Master Su, back then, it was just joking, because, it’s impossible to fight this Young Master for the Minister’s seat, you saw for yourself right? I also took the next batch of exams, which means, I also didn’t expect that young master Su who is very good at martial arts didn’t qualify to become Junior Minister, that’s a shame.”

SuLang clenched his fists.

“Insolent”
