527 Naughty
Luo Xiang lowered Bai Ying’s hand, looked at the young man’s face for a while and brushed Bai Ying’s dirty cheeks with his sleeve.
“Naughty boy, what are you doing here?” he asked.
Bai Ying smiled, impossible for him to run now, he’s been caught in the act.
“Hehehe Your Majesty, you, here?” he asked.
Luo Xiang pulled his lips, looked at Bai Ying sharply and pinched his nose excitedly.
“This kid”
Bi and Yan approached quickly from the crowd, both of them lowering their knees to their knees in front of the Crown Prince who had already let go of Bai Ying’s arms.
“Please forgive us, Your Majesty, forgive us for being negligent” cried both of them at the same time.
Later Bei Yau also appeared.
.....
“Your Highness”
Luo Xiang lowered Bai Ying’s body and still held his hand tightly. Glancing at Lo Yi who emerged from the crowd.
He pulled Bai Ying’s hand towards the side of the field.
“Bei, continue the competitions, just skip my part,” Luo Xiang said.
Bei Yau nodded.
“Yes, Your Majesty”
Luo Xiang walked past everyone, pausing briefly at Bai Ying’s two maidservants who were still kneeling, both of whom were like Bai Ying wearing the clothes of the little guard who was in charge of cleaning up the field.
“You guys, because the field cleaners can’t come today, you two have to take their place and clean the rest of the area,” he said.
The two maids did not dare to lift their faces, only nodded deeply.
“Yes, Your Majesty”
Bai Ying who was being pulled away by the Crown Prince keep looked at his maids.
“Eh Y-Your Majesty, I’m also in charge of cleaning up the field today” he exclaimed.
“Nonsense, how can I allow my concubine’s delicate hands to hold the shovel to clean the dung, don’t act anymore or else big brother will punish them to clean the guest washroom too”
Bai Ying puffed his mouth.
“Ah, Your Majesty,” he protested.
Bai Ying’s maids looked at each other, it couldn’t be helped, the punishment was definitely nothing considering the two of them had neglected to look after their Highness.
....
The Crown Prince took Bai Ying to the Crown Prince’s tent.
“Ying Ying, why do you have to lower down your body like that? You are the King! Ouch, my delicate and smooth Ying Ying hands can’t be allowed to hold a shovel to pick up horse dung, and look at your face, why are you making yourself dirty like this?” said Luo Xiang taking a cloth and wiping Bai Ying’s cheek with a clean cloth.
Bai Ying pursed his lips, lowered his head but still looked at the Crown Prince.
“The competition look so lively and fun, and Your Majesty didn’t take Ying er along so Ying have to find a way to enter, even if it was just a little peek”
Luo Xiang was angry, of course, he was angry because Bai Ying almost got hurt in the middle of the field, but he couldn’t hide his joy, there was nothing more pleasing than seeing Bai Ying’s face that he missed so much in the middle of a hot and boring day, he couldn’t stop smiling, no matter how hard he tried to hide it.
“Em stupid kid, didn’t my Ying really doesn’t like crowds and heat? That’s why I didn’t invite you to come along, if Brother knew my Ying Ying will like it that much, of course, I will consider it, look at your face”
Bai Ying couldn’t stop smiling seeing the Crown Prince from a very close distance, he even cleaned his palms.
“Em, Your Majesty, then, did Your Majesty misses Ying er?” Bai Ying asked looking at the Crown Prince with his starry eyes.
Luo Xiang stopped his movements. He was being too lenient with the boy even though he knew that Bai Ying had made a mistake. He’s forbidden from being here.
“Heh, Guard Bei!” cried the Crown Prince.
Bei Yau who was standing outside the door immediately rushed in.
“Yes, Your Majesty”
Luo Xiang turned at Bai Ying, the look in his eyes made Bai Ying gulp, apparently, the Crown Prince was indeed angry with him, he thought.
“Please take concubine Hua and his maids back to the West Dragon pavilion, make sure he gets there and enters his room”
Bai Ying squeaked.
“But Your Majesty”
“No buts, my Ying Ying, at now the Peony field is not a place for sightseeing, everyone here is competing and it is not an event for children, even if I want to but that is the rules, so it’s better if my Ying Ying goes home to the pavilion and waits there well, be a good boy and obey.”
Bai Ying puffed up his mouth, he folded his arms in front of his chest.
“No, Ying wants to be here to watch the match, Ying is one of the Crown Prince’s supporters, and also, Ying is not a kid anymore, I should allow to watch it, didn’t I?”
Luo Xiang pulled his lips, pinching Bai Ying’s nose in exasperation.
“What supporters? This great Crown Prince doesn’t need supporters, no one has supporters here, and everything must be fair no matter who it is, come on brats, be a good kid and go back to the pavilion”
Bai Ying didn’t move, he wouldn’t budge from his place and stay a stance, no one can push him out of there.
“No, no one can’t chase Ying out from here!”
But..
“Heh”
Bai Ying sighed, who couldn’t help but obey the Crown Prince’s orders and return to the West Dragon Pavilion escorted by Bei Yau and a few little guards, keep muttering all the way.
“His Majesty this is really such an annoying, really, why can’t we watch the match? This doesn’t make any sense at all, how come there’s a competition without spectators? Then who are those people who sit in the audience seat?” he asked.
Bei Yau lowered his head in front of Bai Ying who continued to mutter.
“Report Your Majesty, all spectators are the participants and also the prince’s personal guard, until now the field is still closed, but Your Majesty can watch the match on the last day for the final round. His Majesty the Emperor will also be watching the match with the Second Prince and the others” replied Bei Yau.
Bai Ying looked at Bei Yau sharply, crossing his arms in front of his chest with a frown on his face.
“Ying doesn’t care, tomorrow I will go there again to watch the match, no matter what, Ying will not give up, no one can’t forbid me!” he exclaimed.
Bei Yau lowered his head back in front of Bai Ying.
“Report Your Majesty, I apologize in advance but all the little guards have been warned not to let Your Majesty into the field area, if that happens, and Your Majesty can pass the guard, I’m worried, His Highness the Crown Prince will punish the careless guard severely”
Hearing that Bai Ying lowered his hands, looked at Bei Yau with a serious look, and then glanced at two maids who nodded slowly.
“That’s right Your Majesty, His Majesty the Crown Prince said He will punish us for cleaning up all the washrooms of the participants if Your Majesty back to the field tomorrow,” said Bi, Yan nodded.
“That’s right Your Majesty.”
Bai Ying pursed his lips.
“Your Majesty is very cruel and dictator, the washroom is very smelly.”
The group arrived at the door of the house, Bai Ying stopped his steps.
“Well then, if His Majesty the Crown Prince doesn’t want Ying to see the match, it’s better that His Majesty doesn’t have to go into the room tonight, tell His Highness the Crown Prince of yours, that he’s better off sleeping in the guest room tonight” Bai Ying shouted and then continued his steps into the house.
Bei Yau stuttered, Bai Ying said it loudly then left.
“Eh Y-Your Majesty, this, I mean” Bei Yau was about to follow in but Yan and Bi closed the door right in his face.
Brukk.
Bei Yau was stunned, scratching his head in confusion, did he really have to say that? The Crown Prince could kill him.
......
At night.
“Ying Ying, Ying Ying, please open the door,” said the Crown Prince after coming home and finding his room door locked from the inside, the two maids at the door couldn’t do anything because of concubine Hua’s orders that tonight the Crown Prince’s room was forbidden to enter.
Luo Xiang also found writing on a fairly large white paper pasted on the front of the door that crossed out the name of the Crown Prince with a large cross.
“Oh boy.”
The Crown Prince knocked on the door again, trying to open it.
“Ying Ying, come on, let Brother in”
Luo Xiang look around where the little maids had already lined up behind him, no one dare to look at him and keep their heads lower.
“That brat”
While grumbling the Crown Prince moves to the living room and shouts loudly out of anger.
“Arrggghh!”
