111 Officials Banquet
âAnd donât go near that Princess of Kili, I donât really like her, somehow she knows that you are also a boy and intends to snatch you from my handsâ
BaiYing widened his eyes, this was news he didnât know at all, he turned his head up around saw the Crown Prince upside down.
âPrincess Aya? How did she know? Oohâ remembered something, his guess all along turned out to be correct, if he had indeed seen the princessâs face somewhere, he couldnât have recognized it wrongly, that slightly brown skin color he had rarely seen in YueYang.
âOh, no wonder I think Iâve seen her before, me and my maids have met her while we go outside the palace, it turned out to be her.â
The Crown Prince looked at BaiYing sharply, he pinched BaiYingâs cheek made the boy whimpered.
âAww it hurts Your Majestyâ
âSuch a naughty, thatâs why she became obsessed with you, you really like a hot worm who canât stay still for a bit.â
BaiYing pursed his lips as he touched his cheek.
âEm, itâs not my fault, then, what should we do Your Majesty, will, this becomes a problem later?â
.....
The Crown Prince stroked BaiYingâs back hair and kissed it gently.
âYou donât have to think too much about it, as for concubine Fu, she has promised not to tell anyone about this matter, and, she definitely wouldnât dare say it at the risk of losing her entire family, I wonât spare anyone who interferes, let alone until the Princess of The Kili touches you unless she is tired of living.â
The young man looked back at the Crown Prince with a sharp gaze.
âYour Majesty canât do that, itâs called breaking the rulesâ
âWhat rules? All the rules in the palace are made by me other than by my father, who dares to against me? Dare to disobey? Of course, the penalty is death.â
âBut still, Your Majesty must consider who is wrong and who is right, you canât just punish people just like thatâ
The Crown Prince held BaiYingâs hand which was getting further and further away from him.
âI donât care, whoever disobeys my orders will be punished, whatever it is.â
BaiYing grumbled, the Crown Prince in front of him always wanted to win himself.
âDictatorâ
The Crown Prince brought his head closer to hear BaiYingâs grumbling louder.
âWhat was YingYing saying just now?â
BaiYing shook his head.
âNo, I didnât say anythingâ he was about to stand up and look for food, but the Crown Princeâs hand grabbed him and pulled him back, the young man couldnât dodge when the Crown Princeâs hand held him and dropped his whole body onto the bed.
âEits YingYing where are you going? We havenât finished talking yet.â
âEkh Your Majesty please let go, I want to find something to eatâ
The Crown Princeâs two hands were holding on to both sides so BaiYing couldnât escape, even though he tried to push him away but the big body didnât budge, the Crown Princeâs gaze at that time, was like was looking at the meat he had finished hunting and was about to roast, he wanted to eat him.
âHehehe my sweet YingYing, give me a kiss firstâ
BaiYing opened his eyes wide, this person really looked at him like food.
âYour Majesty, let me go!â
But the Crown Prince could not let go of his prey, he caressed BaiYingâs cheek to his neck, kissed every inch of his skin, touched his waist to make the young man amused.
âHehehe Your Majesty it tickling, itâs already morning Your Majesty canât do itâ
The voices of the two of them were faintly heard until they left the room door.
âSo what? We can go back to sleep right, ooh you smell so goodâ
âYour Majesty!â
Brukk! Brakk!! the sound of falling objects.
....
Gong!!
The sound of gongs resounded in the Dragon hall and the forecourt of the Imperial palace, that morning the palace held an annual banquet for the awarding of meritorious officials, the atmosphere was bustling since morning.
Emperor LuoPai was known to love parties and crowds, not much different from his second son LuoYan, he would always attend every banquet no matter how busy his state duties were.
YueYang has many officials scattered throughout the country, most of the meritorious officials are actually far from the SanPo Capital, a few days earlier an official invitation was given from the Palace to inform them of the awards they would receive, this way the minor officials could level up to occupy positions in the the capital if they wanted to.
The Emperor couldnât stop smiling at the many guests who kept arriving, the Crown Prince and his concubine appearing after him.
âGreetings Fatherâ LuoXiang saluted, BaiYing and his servants who were standing behind him lowered their bodies to salute.
âGreetings Your Majesty the Emperorâ
The Emperor chuckled, laughing until his cheeks were round and red, he passed LuoXiang and directly helped BaiYing up from his knees.
âHehehe sweet child, letâs go inside, Father has been waiting for you, letâs get in, thereâs a lot of your favorite food inside, I have prepared the most suitable seat for youâ
BaiYing stuttered and occasionally turned to the Crown Prince when the Emperor took him inside and left him.
âEh thatâ
The Crown Prince looked at his father sharply, that perverted old man, he did not welcome his own son instead approached his concubine, look at his hand? Touch here touches there, really a masher.
LuoXiang stepped forward and grabbed BaiYingâs hand.
âCome on YingYing sit with meâ
The Emperor just swallowed his saliva when LuoXiang pulled BaiYingâs hand ahead of him into the hall.
âUgh that kidâ
....
Throughout the event.
Princess aYa is one of the invited palace guests, of course, she will be sitting not far from the Palace family, Luo Yan sat not far beside her, how many times glanced at the princess who was very expressionless and sat with a straight look at the Crown Prince and BaiYing who were feeding each other.
Luo Yan raised his teacup in front of the young girl.
âAhem, Princess aYa, do you like staying in YueYang? How is the current condition in MaLo? I havenât visited Kili in such a long time.â
#MaLo: The capital of Kili.
Princess aYa turned her head
âMaLo is just like usual, always busy, Your Highness the Second Prince is always welcome in Kiliâ, she lifted his teacup and drank a little, but then glanced back at the original direction.
Luo Yan followed the princessâs gaze, itâs true that she couldnât take her eyes off the Crown Prince and Concubine Hua, what did she see? Did the princess who refused to become the Crown Princeâs next concubine finally regret her decision?
âEm, it would be very difficult to be present between the Crown Prince and concubine Hua, they are always stuck everywhere, but, my brother has a big heart, he can definitely accept one more concubine, even if some, no, all his time is spent just for the cute Concubine Hua.â
The second princeâs words made the princess finally turn around.
âIs it true? What about the other concubines?â
Luo Yan shrugged his shoulders.
âIâm not sure either, brother will be very angry if I interfere in his household affairs, heh, there is not even a chance to approach Concubine Hua, he is very possessiveâ
////////
Not far at the very front of the hall where the tables and chairs belonging to the Emperor and high officials were located, laughter sounded from the leisure talk between the Emperor and his interlocutor at the time, senior advisor YueWang.
âHahahaha youâre not old, old man Yue, I mean you may be old but your spirit is still youngâ said the Emperor, YueWang bowed his head.
âHeheheh Your Majesty is mocking me, what about the young spirit, this servant has almost run out of enthusiasmâ
Hearing that the two men laughed loudly.
âHahahaha you? the old fox, how can you run out of enthusiasm, by the way, what about your newest wife that you brought back to your house three months ago, what, she still feels at home there?â whispered the Emperor.
YueWang stroked his beard.
âHeh, it canât be helped, the girl has just grown up, just a few nights and she already asked to go home, well I have no other choice but to have the servant take her back to her villageâ
Hearing that the Emperor laughed heartily.
âHahaha is that true? Arenât you kidding old man? Who told you to marry an underage girl, you are an old foxâ
âShe is not under the age of Your Majesty, the girl has already grown to nineteen years of ageâ
The Emperor stopped laughing, took a sip of his tea, and put it back on the table.
âHeh nineteen is quite mature, look at me old man, some of my concubines there, beautiful and fresh, women of that age are indeed very tempting.â
YueWang glanced around the field where the casual after award ceremony was over.
âYour Majesty, the Crown Princeâs little concubine, she is so attractive.â
.....
The Emperor glanced at YueWang sharply, he pulled his lips.
âSay that again, thatâs exactly, that boy is very lucky to have beautiful and attractive concubines, especially that Yenâer, ooh, her face is so freshâ
YueWang nodded his head, glanced at the center of the hall where from a distance could be seen concubine Hua and the two maids were busy enjoying the food served at their round table, a wide laugh on BaiYingâs face which was indeed the most attractive among the others.
âHehehe, yes, I totally agree Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is indeed luckyâ
/////////////
âWhat?â The Crown Prince reiterated, after hearing what the Queen had said in front of him, which was clearly enough to infuriate him.
The Queen raised her index finger, the Crown Princeâs loud voice made several officials and guests turn to them, she invited his son to speak in the corner of the room in a little whisper, actually, she could already guess what the Crown Princeâs reaction was about what was said.
âXiangâer keep your voice down, you shock me, its nothing, heheâ
The Queen smiled at some of the guests who glanced at them, she then pulled LuoXiangâs hand but the young man let go of his motherâs grip, looking at the Queen with big eyes.
âAnd mother agreed? No way, the Plum pavilion only belongs to Concubine Hua, why does that person want to live there, itâs really troublesome, there are other pavilions.â
The Queen approached him and said that Princess AYa asked her permission so she could stay in Plum Pavilion with Concubine Hua, even though The Queen didnât want to bother him but just as the princess asked her again, she went awry.
âUm, just a few nights. she wonât be here long either.â
