113 BeWitched
The next day.
In the back garden of Plum Pavilion, BaiYing sat with his two maids enjoying the morning sun, his head on his chin, and took several deep breaths.
âHehâ
Yan and Bi glanced at each other, asking each other what made Concubine Hua wake up so early and sit with such a frown on his face.
He didnât even back to his room after last nightâs incident and slept on one of the beds in the maidâs mess which made the two maids awkward, while the Crown Prince tired coaxed him and back into his own pavilion and probably headed straight to his work that morning, and princess aYa, that culprit was probably still sleeping soundly in her room.
âEh Your Majesty, em, Yan and I thought, that, last night Your Majesty was too harsh on the Crown Prince,â Bi said, BaiYing raised his head, looked at Bi, and then Yan agreed.
âThatâs right Your Majesty, Your Majestyâs better not to be too angry with him, in our opinion, the fault is not His Highness the Crown Prince, but, ehâ Yan glanced at the mansion before continuing her speech, lest the princess suddenly appears while they were talking about her.
âYour Majesty knows who it is.â
BaiYing held his breath for a while, he lowered his hand from his chin while taking a deep breath, he also knew that, but what could he do.
.....
âHeh, then, What should we do?â
Yan and Bi glanced at each other, both smiling because maybe what they were thinking was the same.
âHey, what if...â
....
Night came, all day BaiYing and his two maids didnât go anywhere and spent the day at Plum Pavilion doing their activities, the Crown Prince had come again and enjoyed dinner together.
âThis, Your Majesty, your favorite,â said BaiYing, pinching a piece of fish not far in front of him, at the usual round table the two of them ate together at the same time there were other people, who were no other than Princess aYa.
The Crown Prince passed the vegetables into BaiYingâs bowl.
âHere, you have to eat lots of vegetables Ying, you have to take care of your health.â
BaiYing smiled until his eyes disappeared, the Crown Prince who was excited caressed the young manâs crown.
âThis kidâ
The two of them chatted as if no one else was there but them, and that was indeed what they both had in mind.
âYour Majesty, this ginger taste is quite strong, good for warming the body.â
BaiYing scooped up the hot soup not far beside him and gave it to the Crown Prince.
âErm, it smells so good, you gave the young ginger yesterday, huh?â
Bai Ying nodded.
âYeah, this is what Yan did, Yingâer helped cut the ginger, I almost cut my finger with the knife heheâ
LuoXiang was getting more and more excited to see the boyâs clumsy attitude when he said that, he pinched BaiYingâs cheek.
âYouâre always so careless, if you canât, donât do it, youâll cause trouble for everyone.â
The young man scratched his head.
âHehehe, I can do it, it just the ginger was a bit slippery, heheheâ
âJust an excuse, look at this, owh, look how careless you are, this leftover food in your mouthâ LuoXiang lowered the bowl in his hand and used his hand to clean the edge of BaiYingâs lips which was still left a bit crumbs. He was so close to the boy that he couldnât help but want to kiss those very seductive lips. The look in BaiYingâs eyes made his heart tremble as if all the food that had entered his stomach churned and scrambled into his stomach which now felt very nauseous, but, kind of nausea he liked so much.
âYou, how can get rid of you from my mind while your face is so seductiveâ
The Crown Prince tilted his head about to kiss BaiYingâs lips when a slightly loud voice sounded not far beside them.
âAhemâ
Princess aYa, who canât stand to see the romantic drama in front of her, even though she often doesnât want to see it, but how can she not see them? Is she blind?
BaiYing straightened his seat, he continued to eat.
âEm Your Majesty, how about the fried chicken, itâs delicious right?â
The Crown Prince looked at Princess Aya sharply, how annoying, does that person have no shame at all? That should be the right word to give her, she still sat there watching him chat with BaiYing and didnât want to move a slight, really pissed people off.
The first plan failed.
Towards late at night.
In another room opposite BaiYingâs room not far near the exit of the main house, the room where aYa was, the princess had already climbed into her bed, the lights had been turned off since last night and that night the air was cold enough that she was curled up in a thick blanket.
The sound of the wind blowing against the closed windows was a bit loud enough to make a sound.
crack crack.
Until suddenly the window that was right in front of the bed opened by itself in the wind.
Phakk!!
The voice surprised the princess who was getting ready to sleep, she slowly got up to close the window, since her personal maid aMi was already sleeping in the maidâs mess, one of the rules of concubine Hua if she wanted to stay there, the rules were just made up, she thought.
Princess aYa had to stand up and close the window by herself or else she could be cold that night, she slowly approached the window, looked outside which was directly facing the garden, for a moment there was nothing, the wind was quite strong and cold so the shutters kept moving, she stretched out her two hands to close the window until something suddenly appeared in front of her.
âWow!â a ghostly figure, or whatever its shape was indistinct, with a completely white cloth and a black face suddenly appearing in front of it, in shock the princess pointed her fist at the figure fiercely.
bookkk!!
Then quickly closed the bedroom window.
Crack.
There were no sounds after that, no movement outside the window as there had just been until a groan was heard behind the bush where the figure fell.
âOuchâ the figure was none other than Yan, BaiYingâs little maid who wore long white clothes and a face that was covered in charcoal resembling a ghost, in addition to her unsuccessful attempts, she was also got hit in the eye.
âOuch it hurtsâ she groaned.
Bi and BaiYIng, who were hiding behind a tree not far from Yan immediately came and helped the girl up.
âOwh sis Yan, does it hurt?â BaiYing whispered, the two of them helped Yan who was limping up, and dodged quickly to safety.
âThe blow is very hard Your Majesty, owhh my eyesâ
The second plan failed miserably.
.....
West Dragon Pavilion.
Finally, after not being able to stand the uncomfortable conditions in the Plum pavilion, BaiYing decided to move to the Crown Princeâs room in the West Dragon pavilion, at least for a few nights until the princess left his home.
BaiYing, who had just finished bathing, sat on a chair in the room while the Crown Prince helped him comb his long black hair.
âYour hair is so smooth, smells goodâ
âOf course Your Majesty, this is because of the hair oil the Queen gave as a gift, and I also made my own from the plants in the valleyâ
âHehehehe smart boy, my YingYing is really the best at taking care of himselfâ
BaiYing turning his position looked up to see the Crown Prince who was in front of him.
âEm, Your Majesty, do, the princess still going to stay longer?â
LuoXiang shrugged his shoulders,
âI donât know, just leave her there, while YingYing stays here, or for the rest of the time, after all, this Pavilion of mine hasnât been lived in for a long time, so itâs become really cold, now that YingYing is here, it will definitely be a lot more lively.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Baiying smiled, back to its original position.
âHehehe why Your Majesty doesnât want to live here? Wow, it turns out that the room is very nice, indeed the Crown Princeâs room is second to noneâ
âSo just stay here, okay?â
âNo way Your Majesty, what will Lanâer and Fanâer Sis think later? we have agreed to compete fairlyâ
âWhat is fair, which part is fair? I havenât seen them, my whole day is not even enough for YingYing. How could I possibly share with the others?â
The Crown Prince lowered himself to sit behind BaiYing, rested his head on the young manâs back shoulder, and raised his two soft hands.
âAre your hands sore, want me to massage?â
BaiYing shook his head.
âNo need Your Majesty, my hand is fineâ
âThese couple days have you been busy cutting and pounding the face mask, how can you let your so delicate hands do it, next time let your maid do everythingâ
The young man pulled his hand away from LuoXiang but he didnât let it go.
âOccasionally, I have to help, my servant already worked hard, itâs a small thing that doesnât matterâ
âWhatâs small? For me, everything that makes you tired is a big thingâ
.....
BaiYing chuckled.
âHehehehe Your Majesty is exaggerating, servant is a boy, I should be able to do a little heavy work, if I donât do anything, my muscles will shrinkâ
âThis has nothing to do with you being a boy or a girl, the most important thing is because YingYing is my concubine, so donât be too tired.â
Hearing that made BaiYing burst out laughing.
âHehehehe this is funny, is there a male concubine? I thought about it, what is the call? Concubine, or...â
The Crown Prince pulled BaiYingâs body towards him and hugged him from behind.
âIf not a concubine then what? Em, how about the empress?â
âYour Majesty, donât be joking, how can I become the empress?â
âWell, then, Great concubine?â
BaiYing was amused by the Crown Princeâs face being so close to his neck.
âHehehehe, Your Majesty, donât get too close.â
âYingYing is very nice to hug, tonight, I will sleep very soundly in my own bed while hugging an extra pillowâ
âIâm not a pillowâ
The Crown Prince sniffed BaiYingâs neck, he was so excited that he always wanted to hug and touch every inch of BaiYingâs body which was now in his arms.
âIs Your Majesty not bored?â
âFrom what? Who can get tired of YingYing, erm, why are you so attractive concubine Hua, every time away I always think about you, always want to get close and canât stop thinking about hugging you, you must have used magic on me huh?â
âWell if it was true, I will bewitch Your Majesty to stay awayâ
