CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

498 We’re Back

Nguunggg!

The sound of long trumpets greeted the arrival of the Crown Prince and Viceroy’s entourage back to Xin Hua palace. People lined the roadside welcoming the arrival of the golden carriage carrying Bai Ying and Luo Xiang in it.

“May His Majesty the Viceroy and Crown Prince be healthy and live a long, long life!” exclaimed the citizens.

Bai Ying couldn’t wait to see the bustle of the city that already full by the residents who welcoming them, the beautiful and handsome Pai Hua citizens wearing pretty clothes. The citizens were so prosperous and got richer over time.

“Wow it’s so crowded”

Luo Xiang held Bai Ying’s clothes looking out the window so that the kid wouldn’t fall because the carriage was slightly swaying.

“Ying, don’t move around.”

Bai Ying turned his head towards the Crown Prince who was sitting very quietly in his place.

“Your Majesty, look at their clothes, wow, does Ying have that model? Look at that hairpin, oh yeah, hairpin, Your Majesty, have you seen my hairpin that Your Majesty gave to me?” asked Bai Ying touching his hair bun.

.....

Luo Xiang smiled, he had been keeping it in his small bag all these time.

“Later after taking a bath, brother will put it on for you, okay? You forgot to take it when you left the palace yesterday.”

Bai Ying widened his eyes.

“Oh really? Oh, Ying really loves that hairpin, how could I forget to bring it along?” the boy looked out the window again.

“Look, Your Majesty, the lanterns are so pretty, will there be a lantern festival? Your Majesty, what month is it?”

Luo Xiang thought.

“It’s not the time yet, Ying, the festival is around next month, it’s still quite a while”

Bai Ying rounded his mouth.

“Ooh, it’s still a long time to go? Emm, Ying will ask old man Lee to help Ying to make good lanterns, he can make anything”

Luo Xiang smiled broadly, he held Bai Ying’s hand and pulled him gently towards him.

“Brat, sit properly, we will arrive in a moment, look at your hair, it’s such a mess,” Luo Xiang said tidying Bai Ying’s front hair.

Bai Ying looked at the Crown Prince who was very close to him with a pair of big round puppy eyes.

“Your Majesty, does Ying’s face look shabby and dirty? Grandma will scream later, she will definitely scold Ying er for this”

The Crown Prince smiled at the boy’s innocent words.

Luo Xiang seems to have to fall in love again with him, although his love has never diminished, even increased. Just seeing him then who looked at him with his innocent and adorable gaze made memories of the beautiful and innocent love of his little concubine, before all the strange events that had happened so far reappeared. And he really liked it.

“This kid, how could your grandmother scold you, when she sees your innocent and sweet face, everybody will immediately melt,” Luo Xiang said caressing Bai Ying’s cheek.

Bai Ying smiled widely.

“Really, Your Highness? Yeah, I think so, grandma loves Ying er the most, hehe.”

Not long after that, a fairly long group arrived in front of the Xin Hua palace front yard. Where Wu Lan, old Pai, Elder Yi and even Shin Ya already stood to welcome the arrival of the entourage along with other officials. Su Lang was among them who was standing tall beside Shin Ya while holding his long spear.

The chariot stopped in front of the field. Guard Bei immediately approached and helped the Crown Prince down from the carriage.

After a while, Luo Xiang got off and helped Bai Ying out of the carriage.

“Oh, sweet boy” Wu Lan couldn’t wait to get closer when she saw Bai Ying emerge from the carriage, everyone lowered their bodies to greet the Viceroy and Crown Prince getting off the carriage.

“Welcome Your Majesty the Viceroy, Your Majesty the Crown Prince, may Your Majesty the Viceroy and the Crown Prince live a long and healthy life” all the officials exclaimed in unison.

Bai Ying’s “grandmother” also couldn’t wait to meet her grandma and hug her.

“Oh sweet child, where have you been, oh grandmother is so worried about you, this brat” Wu Lan hugged her grandson tightly, unable to hold back the tears of emotion that fell unstoppably when the kid arrived in her arms.

“Please forgive Ying er grandmother, forgive Ying for making Grandma so worried”

Wu Lan stroked Bai Ying’s long hair gently.

“Oh thank goodness my pretty kid is fine, let me look at you” Wu Lan let go of her embrace holding the young man’s cheek with her two wrinkled palms.

“Oh, look at your face, why are you getting so skinny? And your smooth skin is a bit sunburnt, ouch look at this pimple, come on in, first let’s eat and take a clean bath after that.”

Wu Lan took Bai Ying’s hand towards the palace, and the maids of the Princess and the Young King follow along behind them, among them were Yan and Bi.

Bi held the hand of Yan who had been separated for the past few days.

“Yan, are you okay? Please forgive me for taking a while, I got lost,” said Bi with a gloomy face. Yan smiled, she shook her head.

“Hey, His Majesty and I are fine, lucky we meet a good guy on the way, do your feet still hurt?” Yan asked seeing Bi, who was walking a little limp. Bi nodded.

When she and Yan chased the Young King who run out of the Palace, accidentally, Bi fell and sprained her leg, but the loyal maid never give up, she still walked back to the palace even though her leg was hurt badly, she even taken the wrong way but finally found her way back to the palace and inform the Crown Prince about Bai Ying’s whereabouts.

Elder Yi and Shin Ya lowered their heads when they saw the Crown Prince approaching.

“Greetings, Your Highness, congratulation on finding the Young King back,” said Elder Yi.

Luo Xiang nodded. If it weren’t for Chen Ming’s tracking coins they would probably just keep chasing after him and always lag further behind. Because it was Luo Xiang who separated himself from the group and carried his horse as fast as the wind, he was able to arrive in time when Bai Ying was in trouble. That kid is always getting into trouble.

Luo Xiang looked at Shin Ya, some time ago the young shaman’s eyes were completely white and he couldn’t see anything other than the aura of someone approaching him. But now, it seemed his eyes had been back to normal, he could see them again.

“Master Shin, what about your eyes?” Luo Xiang asked.

Shin Ya lowered his head back before answering.

“Report Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty, for being concerned about my eyes, now it back to normal, since two days ago suddenly my vision is back, this, my luck”

Luo Xiang thought, two days ago. Of course, that was when Bai Ying caught the fire scorpion with his bare hand and made his spiritual power appear uncontrollably, he would obviously have his sight again because the Young King had already obtained his power back. Though not as a King of Realm, that kid did already possess the power long before as the Young King of Xin Hua.

“heh that’s good to hear”

While on Chen Ming’s side. Bei Yau tried several times to match Chen Ming’s pace but the young prince completely ignored him.

“Eh Your Majesty”

Since Bai Ying’s misfortune, and it’s been a long time, the young prince doesn’t seem to want to see his face again, he doesn’t even let him touch him, only Xiao Hong is allowed to be with him even in the same room with him.

“Come on Hong, I can’t wait for my soaking bath for today, it feels like my whole body is itching and sweating, don’t forget to bring the oil we just bought in the city, Hong, brother also likes it, he will definitely look for it later, you also have it, right?” Chen Ming asked, he ignored Bei Yau who stood up to hold his hand.

Xiao Hong nodded.

“Of course, Your Majesty, I bought the red one, rose extract, it smells very good Your Majesty.”

“Yeah, and Ying has a white lily-flavoured, right? He really likes the smell.”

Chen Ming finally stopped beside Bei Yau, looking at the bodyguard from underfoot to the top of his head.

Bei Yau swallowed hard, did Chen Ming begin to forgive him?

“Eh Your Majesty”

“Guard Bei, sorry to trouble you, but I still have some souvenirs in the carriage, patterned wooden boxes, please help take them out for me, thanks in advance” After speaking like that Chen Ming continued his walk with Xiao Hong whose hands were already full of boxes filled with souvenirs from what Bai Ying had bought at Sui Lian earlier.

“Come on Hong, if you don’t mind, please help me to scrub my back later.”

“Yes, Your Majesty”

Bei Yau clenched his fists. Seeing how Chen Ming was now getting closer to Xiao Hong and pretending he didn’t exist, what should he do? Is the prince really going to keep hating him? But, can he really ignore him? Bei Yau’s chest hurt, it felt like something was stabbing him and making it difficult for him to walk.

“hoh” but he turned his body back towards Chen Ming’s golden carriage where he asked him to unload his stuff earlier.

It’s his fault from the beginning, he should have to pay the price now.
