CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

74 What so Important?

Not long after, BaiYing holding a piece of bamboo containing the fish he caught earlier, after breaking so many fishing nets he finally got one small fish, at last.

BaiYing pulled the Crown Prince’s hand to see the crowd who chose the lanterns to be flown by the middle of the night later, including among the crowd there was YoTang and his two little maids.

“This one is good too, the shape is cute, this writing has a good meaning,” Yan said looking at the lantern in her hand now, YoTang also held a round lantern and drew writing with a brush in his hand.

“Master Yo what did you write down?” asked Bi.

YoTang smiled.

“This is a wish, may the world always be peaceful.”

Hearing that, the two little maids covered their mouths laughing, Concubine Hua’s close friend was indeed funny.

“Hehehehe why not wish for yourself Young Master?” asked Yan, YoTang scratched his head.

“Um, this is also a wish for myself hehehe”

.....

While BaiYing was busy looking at the lanterns hanging with too many choices to choose from, his lips pursed, all of its so cute,

“Wow, this one is good, that one too, um”

The Crown Prince who was standing beside him looked in front of him, to the right and the left until he raised his hand to take one of the oval-shaped lanterns with a painting in front of it.

“This one is cute YingYing, look, this rabbit looks a lot like you, has very round cheeks like yours”

BaiYing pursed his lips while glancing at the Crown Prince sharp.

“Is my cheek really that rounded?”

The Crown Prince approached, pinching BaiYing’s cheeks in annoyance.

“Yeah, if it’s not how can I pinch it like this”

BaiYing touched his cheek with sharp eyes at the Crown Prince,

“This is because Your Majesty always pinches my cheeks so it’s stretch, I’m so thin, how come I have a rounded cheek like that?”

The Crown Prince kept teasing him. Sometimes he really is annoying, BaiYing grumbled and didn’t want to pay attention to him anymore, just ignore him

The Crown Prince asked for a brush from the merchant.

He furrowed his brows thinking for a while about what he was going to write, but first, he handed it over to BaiYing.

“Here, write your wish.”

The Crown Prince reached for another lantern, again with the same round rabbit painting as BaiYing’s.

The young man was so serious writing on the lantern and didn’t realize that the Crown Prince was reading everything he wrote from behind.

“Em, so that there will be no more chaos in this country.”

BaiYing lowered his lantern, he poked the Crown Prince’s stomach who was right behind him.

“Your Majesty you can’t read it”

“Well, I can’t help it, YingYing wrote in front of me, I didn’t mean to peek either”

BaiYing was annoyed.

“This should be a secret so it will come true.”

The Crown Prince pulled his lips.

“Really? Em, but why did YingYing write a wish like that, you should have written, I hope that the Crown Prince and I can live together forever.”

BaiYing didn’t want to hear the Crown Prince’s words, who was so confident as usual.

“Your Majesty, why should we write something like that, it’s sounds too much.”

BaiYing hadn’t even finished his sentence yet when the Crown Prince showed him his lantern, with the huge inscription, LuoXiang and BaiYing together forever, then the silly smile of the Crown Prince’s face beside it.

“You mean like this?”

BaiYing just averted his gaze.

“Heh, this guy”

.........

The night continued, BaiYing finally sat nearby the bridge after tired of running here and there, accompanied by his two maids Yan and Bi, who were busy chewing street food in their paper bags, BaiYing sat on the edge of the bridge where a small pond with lots of lotus flowers bloomed beautifully.

That night, the round reflection of the moon was clearly visible above the pond, BaiYing sat with his chin on his hands, pursed his mouth while heaving an annoyed breath.

“Heh, he said he wanted to fly the lanterns, but where is that person now, doesn’t he know it’s almost midnight?”

Yan and Bi glanced at each other, both smiling amusedly seeing BaiYing’s frowning face after being left behind by the Crown Prince who was suddenly summoned to the Imperial Palace.

From the end of the path were the three other concubines, Fan’er, Lan’er, and Mu’er who were fast approaching when they saw BaiYing sitting by the pond.

“Sister Yen!” cried the three.

The three beauties were each holding their own lantern in their hands, it was soon midnight so they prepared to light the fire in the lantern together and fly it high into the sky.

“Sister, why aren’t you getting ready yet? Where’s your lantern?” Fan’er exclaimed.

BaiYing just glanced not far beside him, where there were two lanterns that belonged to him and that of the Crown Prince on the grass. BaiYing took a deep breath.

“Heh”

.........

While in the Emperor’s palace.

The Crown Prince looked at the Emperor with sharp eyes, then glanced at the person who had become the reason he was summoned that night, suddenly from his Lantern festival, how come he’s not upset?.

“Father, Xiang’er is busy, next time if it’s not really important please make an appointment first, don’t suddenly call people like this, disturb other people’s businesses” his voice was a bit loud, the Emperor swallowed his saliva, this brat, he scolded his father who was an honorable Emperor in front of others.

“Xiang’er, what do you mean unimportant? Is this less important?”

What’s important? Asked him to come only to say that his advisor gave a suggestion about solving poverty in the border areas, which should have been discussed at their regular meeting, not on a night where he was enjoying his vacation. The Crown Prince was so annoyed that made him speechless, if he didn’t remember his Father is the Great Emperor who had to be respected in front of others he would have shouted angrily and left him, but he tried to restrain himself.

“Then? According to Father, then my time is less important? If you wish, let me go back because my business is more important than this” whispered LuoXiang to his father sarcastically, the Emperor waved his hand, he had to obey rather than his son being cranky and didn’t want to talk to him, he was indeed very stubborn.

The state advisor YueWang smiled lowering his head as the Crown Prince glanced at him.

“Your Highness”

The Crown Prince rushed towards the exit, he grumbled inwardly.

“That old senile, calling people at night just to say something like this, what so important about this? Is there no other time or what?”
