CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

77 Family Acquaintance

The other concubines, Fan’er and Lan’er were not left behind, the three concubines were enjoying massages from the maids while they wore masks with thin slices of tomato, and a thin layer of aloe on their skin, it felt so good that they could fall asleep from it.

“Yen’er, this is so fun,” said Fan’er who let her feet and hands be oiled and massaged by their personal maid.

BaiYing smiled, he got lots of herbal oils from the Queen but didn’t have time to use them, sliced ??tomatoes, cucumbers, and others, and coincidently, in the back valley grew so many aloe vera plants that he could use to make face masks, this is a basic skill that seems to be so useful here.

Yan and Bi who also massaged BaiYing’s hands with the massage oil they got as a gift, glanced at each other and smiled with so many compliments given to BaiYing.

However, BaiYing glanced around, this plan wasn’t really his idea either, but Mu’er’s idea which was now nowhere to be seen.

“Where’s Sister Mu’er?”

“Concubine Ye was seen going out, she said to pick up her acquaintances outside the palace” Bi replied, BaiYing frowned, outsider?

“Is it okay to bring outsiders here?” he asked, Yan and Bi shrugged their shoulders while shaking their heads at the same time.

“I don’t know, Your Majesty.”

.....

“Sister said that she invited the best masseur in town, has experience in massaging so many people from mayors to regional officials, it’s very difficult to book her because she has so many work schedules almost everywhere,” said Lan’er.

BaiYing frowned? Number one masseuse? All he knew was one person who his mother liked so much because every time she tried hard to make an appointment with her, it was only because she was a close friend of the family that he could make time, otherwise, she wouldn’t.

BaiYing rounded his mouth.

“Oh masseur”

“Yeah, lately my neck has been really stiff, Lan’er too, and coincidentally Her Majesty the Queen also wants to massage one whole body, wow I can’t wait” Fan’er continued.

Lan’er raised her head, took off the tomato mask covering her eyes.

“Sister Yen, you also need a lot of massages, I heard that she knows your family closely, she might recognize you later, according to Mu’er it’s very difficult to ask this person’s time but when she heard your name she immediately agreed without a second thought, if I’m not mistaken the name, emm” Lan’er frowned in thought.

BaiYing frowned again.

“Know my family?” He was still thinking until he opened his eyes wide.

“Kn-know my family?” oh no, BaiYing shouted in his heart, don’t tell that person is LoMa, a woman in her sixties who is still active as one of the masseurs in ChangSan city, she knows his family very well, especially his older sister BaiYen because she often massages her and Mother, barely knows him because they rarely had contact.

“Eh y-you mean is, the masseuse from ChangSan, LoMa?” he asked to confirm, Lan’er nodded quickly.

“Well that’s her name, she’s famous for being very fierce but her hands are so shrewd, oh I can’t wait”

BaiYing swallowed his saliva.

Oh, this is bad, the old woman can reveal his identity, it was very clear that the person knew his sister BaiYen, of course, she would immediately scream that he is not HuaBaiYen, this is really bad.

Yan and Bi glanced at each other, it seemed that both of them understood BaiYing’s turmoil especially when BaiYing’s held Bi’s hand which was massaging his hand.

“Your Majesty,” his two maids whispered, thinking about what they should do.

“Em, but sis, can Yen’er excuse me for a while? it seems my stomach is a little bit upset” BaiYing started to think about how to escape.

Fan’er and Lan’er looked at each other, then the Queen who was sitting up looked at BaiYing for a long time.

“Yen’er stomach ache? How about the herbs I gave you the other day, ask your two maids to boil it, it’s so great for stomach ache”

BaiYing glanced at Yan and Bi, what should he do? While Mu’er might soon appear at the door along with LoMa, at that time, then his history was over, he could die.

Yan and Bi glanced at each other, both were also anxious, thinking hard about what they should do at this time.

....

In the Imperial Palace.

The meeting had just ended at noon, several officials were still seen discussing in the corner of the large room where the waiter provided a small buffet for everyone to enjoy, think of it as a coffee break.

The Crown Prince who was sitting in front of the Emperor on the round table frowned, he didn’t look excited.

“Heh” several times took a deep breath, the Emperor glanced at his favorite son, and after conveying his task plan he became unmotivated.

“Um, what if, towards the end of the month, you just go there, so you don’t have to linger, right?” said the Emperor.

LuoXiang raised his head to look at his father sharply.

“End of month? Father, this is a subordinate’s job, why am I, as a Crown Prince, having to go there? So far away, not to mention having to go away for quite a long time, no way.”

The emperor swallowed his saliva.

“Xiang’er, before, you used to be so happy when you got an assignment out of town, Father doesn’t even need to speak twice and you’ve disappeared, why is it so hard now? what, someone in the palace really yearns, to be left behind?” The Emperor’s question made LuoXiang raise his head with sudden red cheeks, the Emperor stifled a laugh, he knew why his son refused to go.

“Hehehe then, just take her with you, I think she will also be happy to come with you there, just consider it refreshment for her because she has been in the palace for too long.”

Hearing that the Crown Prince straightened his seat.

He looked at the Emperor with big eyes.

“Can I do that, Father?”

The emperor raised his teacup while nodding,

“Of course you can, why not?”

The Crown Prince smiled broadly at the thought that there would be only him and BaiYing alone out there, but, no, this couldn’t be, the attacker, the mastermind behind the killing of the Hua family who was also after the Bloodstone was still unknown, and being out there must be much more dangerous because attackers could easily sneak in, even the palace could be broken into let alone a place like that. No, he couldn’t take BaiYing along, this would be very worrying for him, but, leaving him alone wasn’t safe either, he couldn’t do that, the only way was to refuse this task, at least until BaiYing’s matter was finished, he wouldn’t leave him at all.

“But I can’t, Father, the conditions outside are dangerous, Xiang’er will not take the risk of taking him, let alone leaving YingYing at this time, just next time Father, not now.”

The Emperor swallowed his saliva, LuoXiang’s words were definitely difficult to change, he was stubborn.

“Ich this child”

When the Emperor and the Crown Prince were enjoying their small meal again, suddenly there was a commotion in front of the hall door which made both of them raise their heads.

“So presumptuous!” The head guard’s voice was loud.
