LuoXiang kissed BaiYingâs neck, making the young man amused, and immediately tried to walk away.
âYour Majesty itâs tickledâ
âIâve been very careful, you smell so good, itâs not my fault, is it?â
BaiYing tried to get the Crown Princeâs embrace away from him,
âIf itâs not His Majestyâs fault, then who else? Is it me?â
The Crown Prince nodded.
âYeah, itâs your fault, why are you teasing meâ
âI donât tease Your Highnessâ
The Crown Prince held BaiYingâs two hands in front of his chest, raised his hand shifting BaiYingâs face towards him, a pair of big round eyes that were now looking at him with full eyes, wet, sweet red lips, BaiYing swallowed his saliva whole as the Crown Princeâs big hand shifted his head and tilted his head to kiss him.
.....
âEmh so cuteâ
BaiYing was stunned for a moment until his brain cell suddenly worked again, he immediately pushed the Crown Prince and stood up from his seat.
âI-Iâm going to find something to eat, hungry.â
The young man was a bit clumsy moving towards the door, several times his feet bumped into things around him because of nervousness, his face was red like a boiled crab.
âAwwâ
âEh sis Yan, is dinner ready yet?â BaiYing exclaimed as he headed towards the door.
LuoXiang smiled, he touched his lips, his eyes flashed playfully as he saw the clumsy BaiYing rush out of the room with his face full of embarrassment.
âHehehe my YingYing is so cuteâ
.......
Meanwhile, in the Plum pavilion.
Princess aYa was sitting alone in the living room, there was no one else there except the pavilion guard and her personal maid, all of BaiYingâs personal servants had been brought along with him to the Dragon Pavilion, and the night atmosphere there was indeed very quiet, she clenched her fists in annoyance.
âIdiot, how dare they leave me here alone, fine, if I canât avenge my hurt donât call me princess aYesâ
The two maids, following the princess into BaiYingâs empty room, the first thing she did was to stand for a moment in front of the door, looked around the room which was very tidy and there was no sign of life until she dropped everything that was on the table.
Pragg! Prang!!
She dropped all objects she could reach on the table, even the vase near the window until itâs all broken, the two servants could only see the princess raging as she pleased without being able to do anything.
âPrincessâ
AYaâs face was red with anger, the grumpy girl didnât hesitate to drop all the beautiful things in the room that they broke into pieces on the floor.
âWho does he think he is? want to kick me out of here, I will stick to him, just wait and see, I will not leave here!â her voice was loud until she pulled the blanket and dropped everything from the bed, she stayed where she was with her eyes wide open, something came out from under the pile of blankets and pillows that had been lying on the floor.
For a moment the princess didnât move, stayed where she was until she screamed loudly.
âAhhh!â While running out of the room quickly, the two maids were confused by the change in the princessâs behavior until they saw what made her panic, two shiny black snakes that hissed as if ready to attack, without thinking the two little maids ran out of the room.
âPrincess!â
Two small black snakes that spread around the room could be venomous snakes from its not so big shape.
âAhhh!â The screams of the princess running from inside the house with her two maids made several guards around the pavilion turn their heads warily.
....
âMoon Scaled Snake? That extremely venomous black snake?â repeated the Crown Prince after hearing BeiYauâs report on his desk, the news of the discovery of a snake in BaiYingâs pavilion room caused a stir, the pavilion had to be emptied and Princess aYa returned to her original pavilion.
BeiYau nodded his head.
âTwo snakes are known to possibly come from the forest area near the Kili border, from the remaining skin, it is possible that the snakes may be more than two Your Majesty.â
LuoXiang stood up from his seat, hooked one hand behind his waist, he was deep in thought until his forehead furrowed.
âConcubine Ye is no longer in the palace, who can put a snake without YingYingâs guards and servants knowing, if YingYing doesnât come out of the room, it could be very dangerousâ
âYour Majesty, I have mobilized many guards to comb the entire house. From the main to the mess and kitchen, shortly, itâs better for the young master not to return to the pavilion, the snakeâs shape is small and slippery enough to hide in all unseen places, the poison it produces can knock down even a large horse.â
LuoXiang nodded his head.
âWhile YingYing will be safe in my pavilion, the thing is, who can we suspect now, since concubine Ye came out of the palace all dangerous things seemed to go with her, and the enemy might intend to attack when we are all caught off guardâ
The Crown Prince raised his head, his eyes wide at the memory. something very important.
âDammit, I forgot Bei, today YingYing has activities at Peach Pavilion, better get him back soonâ
Without thinking the Crown Prince rushed towards the door, BeiYau and the maid followed him.
.....
âWhat?â BaiYing asked FuLan with his big eyes, concubine Fu had been teasing him ever since which made his cheeks turn red.
âHehehehe itâs true that Yingâer is very beautiful and bright like a sunflower, how could the Crown Prince not be interested in youâ Lanâer continued, her words were confirmed by two of BaiYingâs maids who nodded at the same time since the two of them kept telling stories about what happened last night and accidentally heard by FuLan, they didnât stop teasing him.
âYou guys, stop it, the perverted Crown Prince canât be said to be interested, he just likes to nod at me, ouch my waist is twisted from avoiding him, that person really is the number one pervertâ
âWho is that, pervert number one?â The Queenâs voice instantly silenced BaiYing and Concubine Fu, the Queen had already appeared with ChaiMa and her maid, BaiYing and Concubine Fu lowered their bodies to salute.
âGreetings Your Majesty the Queenâ
That afternoon air was very clear, itâs the perfect time for their scheduled beauty treatment event, this had become BaiYingâs routine since Her Majesty the Queen knew about his ability to make very good face masks and lotions.
The Queen glanced at BaiYing from head to toe, the young concubine was indeed very attractive and fresh to the eye, it was not strange that her sons fell in love with her half to death.
âYenâer, did the Crown Prince bother you again last night?â
BaiYing stuttered, the Queen asked, with a disturbing word whose meaning might be different, slowly though somewhat hesitantly BaiYing nodded his head.
âEh, yeahâ he scratched his head, his clumsy demeanor made Lanâer secretly laugh, she was still excited to imagine what happened last night in a room as loud as the two maids had told, BaiYingâs hand silently nudged her.
âSister Lanâerâ
The Queen smiled at BaiYingâs answer.
âWow, this is very good news, Em Yenâer, how old are you this year?â
âEh sixteenâ BaiYing answered spontaneously, but his answer made the Queen frown.
âSixteen years? Really?â she thought hard, bad, BaiYing answered wrongly, he forgot that his sister was older than him.
âEh I-I means, eighteen Your Majesty, heheâ
The Queen nodded her head.
âYeah, thatâs what I remember, I wonât bring underage girls for Xiangâer, eighteen years is a very good time to conceive and take care of children, when I was pregnant with Yanâer I was nineteen years old, look at my face now, still shining right?â
BaiYing and Concubine Fu nodded at the same time, it is undeniable that Queen YinHuaâs beauty is peerless, she must have been much more beautiful when she was young, and with such good care from the palace the Queen should not disturb BaiYing by always asking her to make a face mask, just because of his face mask is so nice.
BaiYing stuttered, he knew where the Queen was talking, he occasionally turned to concubine Fu beside him.
âEh, Your Majesty, I think for now they both still want to enjoy the time together more, please Your Majesty to be more patient,â said Lanâer.
Hearing that the Queenâs laughter suddenly broke.
âHahahaha yeah, I understand that too, heh, but my desire to have the grandson, even the second prince is the same, what are these two brothers really thinkingâ
As the conversation was so relaxed, from the gate appeared concubine Lui with her servants.
âSincerely Your Majesty, forgive me for being late, I had a hard time finding my clothesâ
That afternoon Luiâs concubine came wearing other beautiful clothes, Bai Ying thought because she had too many luxurious clothes to forget which ones were worn and which ones were not, she was even determined not to wear the same clothes within a month, how could she not have trouble.
The Queen waved her hand.
âOh no problem, we still have to wait for one more person, um, did she fall asleep?â
BaiYing and concubine Fu, as well as LuiFan glanced at each other, who else is the Queen waiting for? Just as their question marks had not completely disappeared, from the direction of the gate appeared someone who BaiYing had not expected at that moment.
âPrincess KaYa has arrivedâ shouted the doorman.
BaiYing swallowed his saliva, why did that person have to come too? Heh, this is going to be really awkward.
âYenâer, what are you thinking about?â
BaiYing shook his head quickly.
âEm nothing, Your Majesty this is a face mask with another mixture of flower water, it smells quite goodâ
The Queen nodded, she sat on the sloping chair while BaiYing and her two maids helped everyone put on the face masks, all except Princess AYa who sat down in her chair just watching since earlier.
âThat little concubine has a lot of agenda, heâs very busyâ
.....
AMi approached.
âPrincess, concubine Hua is very sweet, the Queen seems to like her a lot tooâ
âWell of course she likes him, just look at what he does, heâs indeed so smart to be able to win the Queenâs heart, hehâ AYa looked at BaiYing and took a deep breath, inwardly she thought hard.
