332 Coming Home
Suddenly, a sound of a strong wind, so strong comes from someone who had dashed against the tree trunk and grabbed him.
âWhusshh!â
ChenMing was still in shock, his eyes widened at the sight of someone who was already holding his body save him from falling, slowly descended on the ground on one leg lightly tiptoed. A very graceful, slow-motion style with ChenMingâs beautiful clothes and someone who was none other than BeiYau fluttered around before stopping.
BeiYau smiled, his hands already holding ChenMingâs body, looking closely at his pair of eyes with a mischievous smile.
âHehe my Prince, be careful, donât hurt this precious body of yoursâ
ChenMing stuttered, that rotten bodyguard, he had dared to tease him, even though he was still very angry with him, but, who could resist such a big smile by showing all white teeth neatly arranged behind his thin pink lips, he could just melt away and forget all of his anger just now.
âEh Guard Beiâ
Before long.
The two of them were already sitting on the park bench while treating the blisters on ChenMingâs palms, the wounds he got when he was trying to avoid falling.
.....
âAk, easy Guard Beiâ Chen Ming groaned.
BeiYau smiled, he applied powdered medicine to the surface of the wound on ChenMingâs palm before bandaging it with the gauze that the maid had brought just now.
âThis small wound can be healed in an instant by His Majesty the Viceroy, why donât Prince pays a visit to the pavilion asking for his helpâ
Hearing that name, ChenMing pursed his lips.
âNo need, itâs a small wound, it would be healed in few days, thereâs no need to bother the young King who is so busy.â
Hearing ChenMingâs tone as he spoke, BeiYau guessed that he must be annoyed with him.
âHeh, what, Prince and Young King have a disagreement?â he asked.
ChenMing withdrew his hand after BeiYau finished wrapping it.
âThat stupid kid, his heart is too soft to the point of being so stupid, somehow that kidâs point of view, so annoyingâ
BeiYau smiled again, he looked very warm with his calm face seeing ChenMingâs behavior like an angry young child, of course, ChenMing and BaiYing are still so young, they just reach their age where they face the real world in front of them as an adult, each of them must have very very big egos.
âEh Young King, just acting like himself, he does have a very soft heart, too sensitive, but what the Young King has been doing all this time, according to what happened during his life, if, the war will never have good results, no matter what the outcome isâ
ChenMing turned his head, he frowned.
âHow did Guard Bei know what we were fussing about? Did Guard Bei, eavesdropping huh?â ChenMing asked with sharp eyes looking at BeiYau.
BeiYau shook his head quickly, oh no, heâs been caught red-handed.
âUm no, my Prince, Itâs not eavesdropping, to be exact, itâs was not me the one who was eavesdropping.â
ChenMing knew what the Guards meant.
âSo you mean His Highness the Crown Prince who was eavesdropping?â
BeiYau lowered his head.
âForgive me, my Prince, that wasnât eavesdropping, just happened to hear it accidentally, because the Prince and His Highness Young Kind were arguing at the Crown Princeâs pavilionâ
ChenMing couldnât believe what he just heard, the bodyguard didnât even feel embarrassed when he said it.
âShameless, eavesdropping is still eavesdropping, do all the walls in this palace really have ears?â
BeiYau covered his mouth holding back a laugh.
âHehehe not all walls Princeâ
The two then sat on the grass in the backyard of the pavilion, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of them, where the sky that afternoon looked very beautiful with the wind blowing a bit fast, the sound of pressing bamboo sticks growing tall near behind the wall can be heard clearly.
Another voice rang out, ChenMingâs heavy breathing.
âHeh, after all, it is undeniable that this palace is very beautiful, the air, the sky, right now, in XinHua there must be strong winds and rain for days, very cold nights, not a single citizen walks out of the house, all just sitting snuggled inside their house by the fire to warm themselves up, and, for sure, in XinHua, there wonât be His Highness the Crown Prince and neither, em Guard Bei.â
BeiYau turned his head, he smiled hearing his name being called the young Prince.
âHey, then, Prince will miss me later?â
ChenMing lowered his head, looking at BeiYau for a moment.
âOf course, it will be a long time before we meet again, wonât the Guard Bei miss me?â
BeiYau smiled, his cheeks turning red from embarrassment.
âHehe, of course, heh, it will be a while before we meetâ
âThat, also if all goes well, by forming a cabinet for the palace, it means that the official government of XinHua will be formed, that means, there will be more than one head which they own ideas, no one will have the same thought, the idea of ??forming this cabinet is actually so that XinHua can take care of their people, especially citizens like Miss XiLuo and others, that, probably means, the situation will not be like it used to be, XinHua, will have its own agenda, maybe one of them is to become a competitor YueYang in mastering the abandoned border regionâ
BeiYau took a deep breath.
âHeh, that, might be the case, but, I firmly believe in His Majesty the Young King, he has a soft heart, and war, would never cross his mind, that very soft-heartedâs child, has many beautiful smiles and a head full of laughter and happiness to share with everyone, thatâs all he will give, not war.â
The sky was getting darker, as BaiYing and ChenMingâs group had already entered the next town, without they realizing they had walked for more than half a day.
Yan pushed aside the window blinds, seeing the streets which were much smaller in size than the capital, dirtier, with people who were more modestly dressed, they had definitely entered the next city. Yan pointed at a rather large two-story building at the end of the road, with large letter writes on the front, the Peony Inn.
âThatâs Your Majesty, we have arrived, just as the Guard Bei saidâ Yan shouted.
BaiYing looked dispirited, still couldnât believe that he had gone out and far away from YueYang Palace, without the Crown Prince with him, his eyes still staring blankly ahead. Yan nudged Biâs arm, Bi shrugged her shoulders shaking her head.
âHehâ BaiYingâs breath was heavy.
You can still imagine how the Crown Princeâs hand would always stretch out in front of him every time he got out of the carriage, now, who would hold him? Now, as if he regrets leaving SanPo, can he still change his mind now? BaiYing thought looking back, there was only the carriage wall, what was he thinking?
That night they stopped and stayed at the small hub town did not want to waste too much time because the trip was not as pleasant as usual, BaiYing and the group rushed to hit the road early the next morning to shorten their time on the road.
And finally, after five days of travelling without a stopover, the party arrived at the great gate of XinHua palace.
Nguugggg!! the sound of long trumpets echoed along the entrance of PaiHua city, long trumpets were blown from the four sides of the palace where the flames of the countryâs protective aura keep burning, eternal flames that protected the palaces and cities from the enemy attacks.
Yan and Bi peeked out with wide eyes, they couldnât believe what they saw, the city was very beautiful, the buildings and streets were neatly and cleanly arranged, the peopleâs clothes were beautiful, moreover, the faces of the WahYe residents were indeed somewhat different from the YueYang residents as usually. Men with tall bodies with rather pale skin, light coloured hair, women with slender bodies, not too big breasts, pale skin, long curly hair with light colours. No wonder BaiYing and ChenMing are indeed very eye-catching, all WahYe citizens are like that.
âWow, this is very beautiful, Yan see, the clothes are so pretty,â said Bi.
Yan nodded.
âYeah, everything looks great!â
The citizens cheered and saluted as soon as the King who had been rumoured to be returning to the palace today finally entered the big gate.
âLong live the Young King! Long live the Young King!â
The relentless moaning, the hustle and bustle of the city which has been revived by most of WahYeâs residents who used to wander, and finally being able to return to live a prosperous life in the big city, a situation that is quite different from the last time BaiYing left.
ChenMing sat on his big horse valiantly, his face glowed with confidence, returning to PaiHua city was his wish, returning to his own home, and even more so returning to XinHua palace which was just down the road, where Princess WuLan and several city elders were lined up to greet them, a big smile can always be found from the Princessâs face which even though her hair has turned white still looks stunning and pretty, her eyes canât help, but to be moved to see BaiYing who sticks his head out the carriage, before ShinYa helped him down.
âOh my grandson, youâre back.â
