CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

400 Story of Red Bird.

He was about to enter the big master Li’s room, knocking on the door which was not locked, because he was worried that the man who was quite old by then looked behind the door, into the room where something happened that made him widen his eyes at what was happening.

Big master Li’s bed lit up, glowing bright red as if it were on fire, but, after Old Man Lo rushed in to check, it turned out that it wasn’t a fire, but something that surprised him, the bright light was coming from the half-naked body of a young girl showing her breasts, down to her slender, plain waist, with no tops on.

“Oh” old man Lo turned around quickly, he had seen what he shouldn’t have seen.

After that day old man Lo did not dare to enter Grand Master Li’s room if he wasn’t summoned, and his position as his master’s personal servant was also slowly replaced, he was no longer important to his master. One day Master who was eating almost choked on the fish bones because the soup that Old Man Lo prepared was not clean enough, making Master Li distrust him even more.

“At that time, during the banquet for the new year, I had prepared all the meat that the servants prepared to take out for roasting, but in an instant when I was about to serve it all the meat was gone, and I was again blamed for it,” continued the old man. Lo.

Li Mo stroked his chin, he had just heard all these stories, if not for old man Lo saying it, he probably would never have known until now.

Old man Lo held his breath for a while before continuing his story.

“One day, when the servant was about to clean Master’s room, the girl came in, and teased Servant who was alone, she even took off her upper clothes to lure Servant. A sane person who wouldn’t be tempted, Servant, is powerless and touches it, but only a little, I haven’t even done anything when Big lord suddenly comes in and caught us redhanded. The girl pointed at me, saying that it was me who touched her first, with tears the mute girl accused the servant, heh, I had no choice, Master said that I had to admit my mistake or get out of the house, of course, I didn’t admit what I did servant because it was the girl who seduced me first. Because of that, I decided to just go out of the house.”

“Then, does old man know how that pretty girl’s face got burned?” Chen Ming asked.

.....

Old man Lo thought.

“Heh, I don’t really know about that, because at that time Servant had already left the Li family’s house, I came to visit at Master’s funeral and saw the girl’s face was already being like that. Its indeed very strange, from her condition, such an injury would obviously leave a weak girl like A Er at least lying in bed for a few days, but according to the maids, the girl was still fine the day before Master died in his bed, and in the morning her face turned like that.”

Li Mo stroked his chin.

“That’s obviously very strange, but so far that girl hasn’t done anything strange at home, she’s an orphan and has nowhere else to go, so up until now she’s been living in the Li family’s house, if I think about it, her age should be has reached forty years old, she still looks as fresh as a girl in her twenties”

“Maybe because of her food, Her Majesty the Queen also looks very youthful, she is still very beautiful like the other young concubines of His Majesty the Emperor,” said Bai Ying while enjoying fried peanuts served on the table. He lifted his face, noticing Luo Xiang’s gaze on him.

“Hehehe” and smiling broadly, Luo Xiang shook his head slowly, that child, he may unconsciously miss the Queen Mother too.

Soon A Cu approached, carrying a red satin cloth package which was then given into the hands of old man Lo.

Luo Xiang and the others were curious about what was inside the fold of red cloth, which old man Lo slowly revealed.

“These are the old coins belonging to the Lo family, my ancestor found these coins in the sacred cave of the Red Bird Mountain, hundreds of years ago, it is said that this coin came from the priest who used to feed the red bird and teach it the correct way to cultivate to achieve enlightenment.”

Li Mo glared at his eyes, he couldn’t believe what he saw in front of him now. The ancient coins with a square shape in the centre, some of which have even been covered in mildew which makes their colour faded.

“Old man, you really have these coins?”

Old man Lo nodded.

“Yeah, I didn’t know what the function of this coin was until a while ago.”

Luo Xiang leisurely enjoyed his tea, while the curious Bai Ying stood up and looked at quite a number of coins with a frown.

“What’s so special about it? The merchants would not want to accept coins that have been mouldy like this? Why doesn’t old man wash it clean?” Bai Ying asked innocently.

Old man Lo chuckled at the innocent question of the young man who was looking with a pair of big round eyes out of curiosity.

“Hehehe, Your Majesty, I’ve tried to wash it so that it can be sold in the market, but, it can’t be cleaned, the fungus can never be removed”

“That’s weird, what’s the point in this?” Bai Ying continued.

Luo Xiang looked at Bai Ying.

“Ying, sit back at your place,” he said, Bai Ying puffed out his mouth, he was bored because the story was too long, this was like a history class he didn’t really like, the boy complied and sat back down in his place.

Old man Lo chuckled.

“Hehehe Your Majesty, this does look meaningless, but, recently I just found out, that this is a sacred coin that prevents us from entering into the Vermilion bird’s trick, I don’t know who, but in the big house there are some servants who had been hypnotized and they lost their memories, during that time, I have never experienced this strange thing, and recently, I just realized, maybe because of this coin that protects me, and I heard that Your Majesty is trying to find that mystical creature, this, maybe it can help a little.”

Everyone turned to look at old man Lo, especially glancing at the coin in his hand, is it really that ugly thing that is so useful?

“How can you be sure that this coin is protecting you?” Luo Xiang asked.

Old man Lo thought, he stroked his beard.

“I’m not sure, not before I find Xiao Hong”

Luo Xiang and Li Mo widened their eyes, who else is Old Man Lo referring to as Xiao Hong?

“Who is Xiao Hong?” Bai Ying asked.

“Red Bird Mountain is called the red bird mountain because it is said that there is a sacred red bird that lives on top of the mountain. I don’t know where it came from, twenty years ago when I just came back, this red male bird suddenly appeared in front of the house in a pretty bad condition, with broken wings and a hole like an arrow pierced through his chest. Fearing that everyone would start glancing at him because it was said that the red bird’s flesh could cure all chronic diseases, I put it in the back cage and only opened the curtains when no one else came. After that several times, a Cu’s chicken would disappear in one night, after that there were mouse claws left in the cage. I was very curious how Xiao Hong, whose cage was quite high from the ground was able to get all the preys that didn’t seem to be passing in front of him, so I waited for him all night and caught him luring his prey to come. At that time, A Cu was attracted to him, although not very strong this kid had heard Xiao Hong’s call.”

Luo Xiang, Bai Ying and Chen Ming who were listening very seriously nodded subconsciously.

“Wow, that’s really great.”

Bai Ying turned to Luo Xiang, unexpectedly the boy stood up and grabbed the Crown Prince’s hand.

“Come on Your Majesty, let’s see Xiao Hong, I want to see it, I’ve never seen a red bird before, how does it look and what does it look like”

Luo Xiang withdrew his hand, looking at Bai Ying sharply.

“Brat, sit down, the story isn’t finished yet”

Bai Ying knew that, but his butt was already hot from too much sitting earlier.

“Come on, Your Majesty, um, then I’ll just go with Ming Ming, come on, Sis.” The boy turned to Chen Ming quickly, and grabbed his brother’s hand who had just lifted the teacup to drink it, he almost spilt the tea on his clothes.

“Ich this child, wait a minute, why the rush?”

Luo Xiang shook his head, who knows when the little boy will grow up to become a mature young man, he is still acting like a baby.

“Heh”

Old man Lo chuckled at Bai Ying’s adorable behaviour, even Li Mo couldn’t help but smile.

“hehehe”
