330 Be Parted
The Crown Prince stroked BaiYingâs back.
âBad boy, you are thinking of running away from responsibility huh? Thatâs too good for you, that canât be happening.â
âI just thought, if that happened...â
Crown Prince let go of his embrace, before BaiYing finished his words, he already lifted the young manâs chin and kissed his lips, stopping his speech.
âUmppâ
The Crown Prince kissed BaiYingâs sweet lips passionately, chewing on the lips that looked so delicious like cherries to the brim, not letting the boy say another more word, his two wide palms holding BaiYingâs cheeks lifted them up a bit very gently, then his other hand pulled BaiYingâs waist so that their bodies were very intimately close together.
âUmp Your Majestyâ
Even the Crown Prince only gave BaiYing a second to take a breath before kissing those lips again, BaiYingâs two small hands clenched tightly holding the Crown Princeâs clothes.
His small face was enough in the Crown Princeâs palm that he could very content kiss those lips without any disturbance.
.....
âMy YingYingâ
.....
Klop klop klop.
The sun was shining very hot that morning, the golden carriage complete with several horse guards had already moved away from the Golden Dragon courtyard, ChenMing in his dominant white dress with WahYeâs signature embroidery sat on his big horse at the front of the carriage.
BaiYing and his maids sat in the golden carriage, although it was a very hard decision, but, he had to make that journey.
A moment ago he was still kneeling before the Emperor and delivering his goodbye. The young man looked very shining with the small crown of King WahYe on top of his long loose hair, in XinHuaâs white oversized clothes with a combination of gold and silver, with many sparkling beads on the clothes and long velvet robes, which made the clothes look very luxurious, and a bit heavy.
âGreetings Your Majesty the Emperor, Ying, excuse my self, may Your Majesty the Emperor and Queen always be blessed with health and prosperity, so does Your Majesty the Crown Prince.â BaiYing raised his head, looking at the Crown Prince who was reluctant to look at him, his gaze just straight ahead, he restrained himself, clenching his two hands behind his waist.
This morning. At West Dragon Pavilion.
BaiYing had just finished dressing up, and Lanâer had just put the Crown on top of his bun after brushing the young man reddish brown shiny hair for a very long time.
âSister, um, can sister go with you? After all, XiaoYing is the reason big sister has been in the palace all this time, if Yingâer leaves, what should I do next?â Lanâerâs low voice as if she contains herself, as she slowly stuck a jade hairpin with golden plum blossoms between the crowns to secure its position. BaiYing touched Lanâerâs hand, turning his head smiling at the young concubine who was trying hard not to cry.
âSis, sister is His Highness the Crown Princeâs concubine, of course, you must stay be by his side, er, how about this, Ying, ask sis to take care of His Majesty, he will skip meals if no one reminds him, he will work all day from morning to night, sitting in his study, even stay up all night to finish his work, just as Guard Bei said before Ying came, so, while Ying was away, Ying, ask Sister to be able to look after him, make sure His Highness the Crown Prince didnât forget to eat and take care of his health, Sister, can do that right?â
Lanâer stared at BaiYing, looking at that pair of big brown round eyes for a long time, she was unable to hold back the tears that were already at the corners of her eyes, and it fell down her smooth cheeks.
âHow could this big Sister able to replace Yingâer, which His Highness the Crown Prince loves so much, ems, thatâs, so impossible Ying, no one can tell him what to do if it not you, why you have to leave? Why not take us along? Was Ying planning to stay there for a very long time? Why did Ying have the heart to leave us here?â
In the end, Lanâer burst into tears.
âHuks hu XiaoYing donât goâ
The young man tried to calm her down, patted her shoulder to hug her.
âSister, Yingâer will coming back, or else you can visit me there.â
âWho allowed my YingYing to not come back?â
The Crown Princeâs voice.
Lanâer raised her head, her eyes welled with tears and still couldnât catch her breath from her sobs, but it seemed she did have to go out to let the Crown Prince spend his last time with BaiYing there.
Immediately Lanâer and the maids stepped back and left the room
BaiYing, who had finished his preparation was about to turn his body towards the Crown Prince when the man rushed forward and hugged him.
âYour Majestyâ
Hugging him so tight, in the middle of the room, standing tall embracing the little body with two wide arms, stroking his hair, smelling HuaBaiYing as much as he could.
âYour Majesty, Ying, will be leaving for a while, Your Majesty donât forget to take care of yourself, eat well, sleep and have a rest regularlyâ
âI will tie you to the bed so YingYing canât go a step away from meâ the Crown Princeâs flat voice.
BaiYing was silent, he slowly raised his two hands holding the Crown Princeâs waist who was hugging him tightly so that he didnât even feel his feet stepping on the floor.
âYour Majesty, Your Majesty has promised, will let Ying do what Ying wantsâ
âLet me break my promise, I canât, thinking about YingYing far away is already making me unable to breathe, what if I suddenly die with my eyes wide open? Because of missing you too much?â
YingYing smiled, Crown Prince didnât sound like he was at the moment.
âYour Majesty will not die from missing Ying Ying too much, time will pass quickly, as soon as it is over, Ying will back, Your Majesty must not die, Yingâer will be so devastated laterâ
âThen YingYing must not leave, how about this, the Palace invites all XinHua officials here, so YingYing can watch them form the cabinet here, itâs the same right?â
âThat, it canât be Your Majesty, XinHua is XinHua, YueYang, is not XinHuaâ
âBut, YingYing is my concubine, itâs a lifetime contract, did YingYing forget our edict?â
BaiYing nodded, he lowered his head on the Crown Princeâs chest.
âYingYing know that, Your Majesty, itâs a lifelong contract that will remain in effect even if we die, Your Majesty said that you will chase Ying to the ends of the world, how could Yingâer forget it, hehâ
âEm, how about Brother XiangXiang take you to XinHua?â
âNo need, Your Majesty, that would mean Your Majesty is going there.â
âEm, how about just reaching the SuiLian border?â The Crown Prince tried to bargain.
âYour Majesty, You said that you will let Ying do all of this on my own, trust Yingâer with everything.â
âBrother isnât distrustful of you, but, heh, how can I live without seeing my YingYing, even for a day?â
âYour Majesty, this is also a very hard decision for Yingâ
âThatâs not true, YingYing looks very calm, you must be looking forward to leaving the palace without Brother accompanying you right?â
The Crown Prince hugged BaiYing so tightly that it was impossible for BaiYing to look up at his face when he said that.
BaiYing pursed his lips.
âYour Majesty, why do you think like that? Ying has already told you everything, does it have to be repeated?â
âWell then, how about big brother send BeiYau to accompany you there? But no, that would be too good for him, he really wants to stalk Prince Chen, it canât happen, Brother XiangXiang will take a leave from the palace and accompany Ying there, okay?â
âYour Majesty, how could that be possible?â
And finally, the Crown Prince couldnât help but let go of his embrace and let BaiYing go, although, he didnât want to see the young man go, but, BaiYingâs destiny was indeed very big, he couldnât let a peacock be confined in a very narrow cage without being able to widen its beautiful tail, it would be crushed.
The sound of horseshoe tapping snapped BaiYing out of his thoughts, as soon as they left the palace gates, a loud noise rang out.
âDrap drap drap drap!â
The sound of horse running was very loud, the Crown Prince was already racing his horse quickly following the horse carriage. ChenMing just stared at the man intently as he slowly walked beside BaiYingâs carriage. It was seen that BeiYau was not far behind the Crown Prince.
âThat personâ
âYingYing, donât be away for too longâ the Crown Princeâs voice was flat, although he couldnât hide the sadness in his eyes, the man was trying to hold it in, this was very embarrassing for him, but he had to lower his ego or else he would regret it.
BaiYing who was sitting in the carriage stretched out his hand holding the Crown Princeâs by the window while sitting on his horse, rides at the same speed as the carriage.
âYour Majesty, please take care of XiaoGe and XiaoMei while Ying is not around, donât slaught them for foodâ
âWell, if Ying doesnât come home on time, those two fat and lazy alpacas will end up in the pot, remember thatâ
