Chapter 303: Chapter 303

303 Sweet Potato’s

Night came, the group continued their journey after resting for a while at the restaurant before hitting the road again. In order to shorten the time, Crown Prince decided to keep moving and stopped outside the borders of ChangSan city to set up a small encampment. Lan’er and her two maids to sleep in another carriage guarded by guards who divide their shift for guarding, while the others lay down to rest gathering their energy before replacing their comrades later.

Elder Yi, ShinYa XuYi rested not far from the golden carriage, lay down their tired bodies and slept very comfortably facing the starry sky that night, coincidentally the night air was quite warm, so they could enjoy sleeping under the sky without much trouble.

“Heh didn’t expect, after forty years, finally setting foot back into the Capital, hem, does that very famous wine tavern selling Drunken God’s wine still exists huh? The wine is so delicious, I can still remember every taste very clearly”

ShinYa smiled.

“Hehehe Elder Yi, I think the tavern is still there, I heard that there is indeed a wine shop that has been around for a long time and is still very busy today. Every time you pass downtown SanPo, you will see this shop clearly because many people are lining up in front of it.”

Elder Yi opened his eyes wide.

“Really? Wow, that’s really great, so I can’t wait to arrive as soon as possible, then, do you think that rotten child can still recognize me, right?”

ShinYa glanced at XuYi, the youth looked at the two with high brows as if listening to their every chat, ShinYa approached Elder Yi and whispered.

“Elder Yi, I think He must not recognize you by the way you look now.”

.....

Elder Yi chuckled again, he stroked his chin.

“Hahahaha that’s right, I forgot, this is no longer the old wrinkled man BaoYi, hahahaha”

XuYi scratched his head, the young man stuttered when he was about to speak because it seemed that he really couldn’t keep up with the two.

“Eh, does, young master Lu is going pass the admissions office? Heard it’s not that far from the palace, hey I, never been to the Capital before, what, it would be hard to find the place”

ShinYa thought.

“Em the admissions office? Em, let me think, where is it? Last time I heard, they built a new building because the old one is a bit worn and needs a lot of renovations.”

XuYi widen his eyes, excited.

“Really? What, it’s a bit far from the palace? Said the Imperial palace is very beautiful, I would love to see it once in a while”

Elder Yi who was enjoying his Lady Tongue wine almost choked, he forgot that the innocent youth in front of him didn’t know who they really are.

“Eulk, that’s, well, has the palace changed over the past forty years huh?”

ShinYa smiled, he clenched his two hands in front of his head.

“Hehehe about that, I also don’t understand where the difference lies Elder, I wasn’t even born forty years ago”

Elder Yi turned to ShinYa, he saw the handsome young shaman’s face with light-coloured hair like most of WahYe citizens, for example, just look at BaiYing, finally, both of them laughed realizing the funny thing they had been talking about for a while.

“Hahahahaha yeah yeah, forty years ago, where are you at that time childe ShinYa?”

“Well, maybe still queue at the gate of the God of Death.”

The laughter continue, so loud that it could be heard from far away.

“Hahahaha”

While on the other side, BeiYau and ChenMing sat alone enjoying their freshly cooked roasted sweet potatoes.

“Please be careful my Prince, it’s still very hot,” said BeiYau splitting the sweet potato which was still steaming hot because he had just removed it from the fire, ChenMing carefully took the hot potato with the tip of his hand.

“Ouch, it’s so hot, but it smells really good, erm, brother Ying must really like it.”

BeiYau smiled, he enjoyed watching the young prince eat so carefully.

“Careful Prince, you may burn your tongue, His Highness the Crown Prince said earlier that no one should disturb them in the carriage, so it looks like we won’t have a chance to give His Majesty the Young King this hot yam”

ChenMing looked at the golden carriage placed in the centre of the camp area, it was faintly visible in the carriage there was still a small oil lamp burning.

“That rotten Crown Prince, he always keeps my brother Ying for himself only, sticks together like mushy white rice every day”

BeiYau chuckled at ChenMing’s cute face as he mumbled, as his mouth was busy chewing sweet potatoes. The young guard raised his hand, wiping the edge of ChenMing’s lips where there were few sweet potato crumbs left, ChenMing stopped chewing, not expecting the young guard to touch him.

“Eh, please forgive my impudent my Prince, earlier, there was a little crumb on your lips, and this...” BeiYau glanced at his hand, stuffing the sweet potato crumbs into his mouth.

“The taste is so sweet”

ChenMing stuttered, the eyes of the young man in front of him saw him as if he was a very delicious food as the sweet potato in his hand now, sure enough, in the image of BeiYau’s head at that moment.

He held ChenMing’s thick sweet lips, pulled his chin and tilted his head, picking up the sweet potato crumbs with his own lips, he used the opportunity not only to devour the sweet potato crumbs but also ChenMing’s very soft and sweet lips.

“Em, the taste is so sweet”

ChenMing’s big eyes only watched him not move even a bit, blinking a couple of times seeing BeiYau’s handsome face from a very close angle, the young prince let BeiYau’s big palm hold his cheek and tilted his head again to kiss his lips.

“Guard Bei” ChenMing’s loud voice snapped BeiYau out of his wild imagination.

“Guard Bei what are you thinking? Was it something funny? Smiling like that” asked ChenMing, BeiYau suddenly feel awkward, his cheeks were red with embarrassment and scratching his head, what was he really thinking of? Why at a time like this did he have wild fantasies about the young man in front of him? This really disturbed his concentration to stay alert.

“Er, that’s nothing, just, the sweet potato taste so delicious, hehe”

ChenMing frowned, he continued to enjoy his baked sweet potato.

“Weirdo, same as that rotten Crown Prince”

While in the carriage.

BaiYing had closed his eyes sleeping in the arms of the half-lying Crown Prince. LuoXiang’s hand was still holding BaiYing’s fingers and kissed it.

“Chup, this kid” he lowered his head to kiss BaiYing’s forehead, brushed his front hair and kissed it again.

“This kid, why are you so adorable, after tired of crying you sleep like a baby, heh, how could I have the heart to throw you away, this adorable little bunny”

LuoXiang shrugged BaiYing’s shoulders who was sleeping so soundly that even a hurricane wouldn’t be able to wake him up, hug him so tight.

“Em, my YingYing.”

Then he kissed his forehead again and again.

“Chup chup”

“Your Majesty” came BaiYing’s voice, but the young man still closed his eyes.

LuoXiang smiled, realizing the young man was talking in his sleep like he usually did.

“Not that one, it’s so ugly, just a little round, round, yes that one...”

Crown Prince flicked BaiYing’s forehead gently, even pinching his lips and squeezing his lips in annoyance.

“This kid, why are you so adorable?”

...

The sun rose as the group back to the road again. The path is quite wide with stones arranged neatly and smoothly without protrusions, making a large golden carriage pass through the road smoothly without any obstacle.

Crown Prince’s entourage entered the small town of ChangSan, a trading town that was always bustling with newcomers and merchants who filled the streets even when the sun had not yet fully risen.

“Wow, that’s a very good kite, Your Majesty, please buy me one, for us to play in the Peony Valley” BaiYing exclaimed.

LuoXiang looked at the kite seller’s booth which had just taken down the cover board, that person had not even opened the shop, but BaiYing’s eyes had seen various kinds of large kites on the floor in the shop.

“Old man Tu can make any kite Ying, why do you still want to buy outside again?” said the Crown Prince. BaiYing thought, he almost forgot about that.

“Oh yeah, I actually ordered a kite from old man Tu, before we left, Ying already drew the design, I wonder is it ready yet?”

Hearing that ChenMing who rode behind the Crown Prince beside the horse carriage turned his head upwards, with BaiYing’s painting, it’s really miraculous that the old man can make according to his wishes, the kid might just doodle carelessly.

“Hey, wow, I wonder that too? Big Brother can’t wait to see it.”

The excited BaiYing smiled until his eyes disappeared.

“Of course, it will be very good Brother, you will see for yourself later, ouh Ying can’t wait, come on, Your Highness, let’s speed up, we have to hurry!”

BeiYau who was walking beside ChenMing who looked dubious with BaiYing suppressed his smile, he also knew how BaiYing’s paintings looked like, this time Old Tu must get in big trouble.
