Chapter 333: Chapter 333

333 Young King is Back

BaiYing’s eyes widened, he didn’t even get off the carriage when he saw his grandmother, couldn’t wait to approach her.

“Grandmother! Ying’er is back!”

The young man jump down, he could not wait to run to his grandmother, hugged her tightly.

“Grandmother!”

Princess WuLan chuckled, the child hugged her so tight.

“Heheheh sweet child, you’ve come home, oh let me look at your face, grandma misses you so much”

ChenMing who later came closer looked at BaiYing sharply, what was that kid doing?

“Ahem!” His loud voice, though BaiYing didn’t seem to care, did he forget who he is now? As the Young King, who had manners to take care of? How can he just jump off the carriage and immediately hug their grandmother, no matter how much they miss her.

“Ahem! XiaoYing”

.....

BaiYing finally let go of his embrace, looked at his grandmother for a while, then at the elders and officials who immediately lowered their bodies to salute, the broad smile on the young man’s face instantly flattened.

“Eh”

“Greetings Young King! may the King always be blessed and live long, long Live the King!”

Many people, city elders, young officials to PaiHua residents who were standing around, all lowered their bodies to their knees in welcoming BaiYing who was standing in the middle in a clumsy manner.

“Long Live the King!”

“Eh all” he didn’t expect, but, this is what he really is, a Young King of the great country of XinHua, a country with a very beautiful and sturdy palace, as well as strong people, he, is a King.

BaiYing looked at ChenMing who also bowed his head in respect.

“Brother”

....

Everything is like a dream.

Even though it was a long and tiring journey, BaiYing’s mind during the journey kept wandering far away, as if his legs and body weren’t where they should be.

That night sky of XinHua was full of stars, the palace held a banquet to welcome him, but, BaiYing finished it quickly. Accompanied by his maids who standing not far behind him, he preferred to enjoy XinHua’s cold night air, caressing his cheeks and hair as he lifted his head to look at the twinkling stars above the vast sky of XinHua.

According to wise people, if we miss someone, just look at the sky, wherever they are, the sky will always be the same, what you see, will also be seen by the person you miss the most. But, for BaiYing, the sky in XinHua and YueYang was not the same, he had never found this many stars there because there were more clouds in YueYang, the wind was not so strong as PaiHua so that clouds would gather around.

BaiYing took a deep breath, does, is this what people call one who can die of longing? A person will die because misses someone too much, not because he longs for death, but because his longing is so intense, it makes all other desires stop, nor does he feel hungry, nor does he feel sleepy, of course, when you don’t eat and don’t get rest, you’ll die, that for sure really happened.

And what the Crown Prince said was true, he could have died from missing him too much.

“Heh, then what do I have to do now?” he sat on a stone chair in the garden inside the palace circle, holding his chin with both hands, just sit and enjoy the voice of nature from far away.

Someone approached him, She haven’t placed her butt next to BaiYing, when the person who was none other than Princess WuLan patted him on the shoulder.

“Sweetie, what are you doing here? Why not enjoy the dinner with all of us inside?”

BaiYing turned his head, immediately stood up to help his grandmother sit up.

“Grandmother, why did you come out? Is Grandmother looking for Ying’er?”

Princess WuLan smiled, she caressed BaiYing’s hair, which was blown by the wind.

“Hehe, has Ying’er missed the YueYang palace already?”

BaiYing lowered his head, his cheeks red, realizing the real meaning of Princess WuLan’s question.

“Eh that, emm, Ying is just not used to it, heh, XinHua is very beautiful, the air is also very clean and fresh, and colder than YueYang, last time Ying came here with the Crown Prince it was still spring, I can’t believe it, time is running so fast, and XinHua, PaiHua city is growing rapidly, it’s crowded.”

Princess WuLan grabbed BaiYing’s two hands, held them together, patting them gently.

“Heh, this city is basically very crowded, with its location which strategic, many merchants stop by after a long journey, PaiHua’s natural resources are very abundant, silk, precious stones, all of which are PaiHua’s main commodities, as what I remember, long ago, when Grandmother was still so young, this town is already very crowded with newcomers who keep on hunting for the good stuff, and now, since the news of PaiHua’s revive, more and more people are arriving, residents who have been wandering for a long time are back, heh, this, a city that is developing so fast, too fast”

“Then, do Grandmother think that forming a Cabinet will be able to make all the political movements of the country improve? What if, like what brother Chen Ming said, more heads with more ideas, there will be disagreements, then, do Grandmother think, Ying, can manage all these people?”

WuLan smiled, she caressed BaiYing’s cheek with his wrinkled palm.

“You can do it, this great grandmother’s sweet grandson can definitely manage all those people, grandma is very confident in Ying’er”

BaiYing lowered his head.

“But Grandma, what if Ying fails? Heh, Ying doesn’t even know how to act like a King, Ying, doubt that Ying can do it.”

WuLan patted BaiYing’s hand, the smile never leaving his face.

“It’s easy, just shrug your shoulders, sharpen your eyes, speaks loudly, XiaoYing, is a very great King, all of the formalities are nothing than act, just be Xiao Ying who’s everybody knows”

BaiYing raised his head, finally smiling at his Grandmother.

“Really Grandmother? You’re sure?”

Princess WuLan nodded.

“Of course, you can do it!”

BaiYIng lowered his chest, at least, the burden of his mind lessened a little when he saw the look in his grandmother’s eyes on him, the pressure that had been on his chest for a long time, of course, apart from his intense longing for the Crown Prince, the burdens of other thoughts were reduced quite a lot.

BaiYing slowly pushed himself into a sitting position, lowering his head into his grandmother’s lap.

“Grandmother”

Princess WuLan was a bit surprised to see that the young man had already lowered his head lying on her lap.

“Eh, this child”

“But, Ying is still afraid grandma, let Ying sleep like this for a while, it must be very comfortable”

Princess WuLan smiled, she stroked BaiYing’s hair, the young man was indeed very young, he carried such a heavy burden on his shoulders, of course, he felt tremendous pressure, although it could not be avoided.

“Hehe this child, Ying knows right, that your grandma and big brother will always support you? And we believe that XiaoYing can become a very great King.”

Hearing ChenMing’s name, BaiYing pursed his lips.

“Don’t mention Big Brother MingMing Grandmother, that person can only be annoying, just so grandma knows, Ming Ming’s brother always pranks Ying’er.”

Hearing that Princess WuLan chuckled, she laughed loudly.

“Hehehe, oh yeah? MingMing usually only cares about himself, if he bothers you it means he really cares about you sweetie”

“Ying doesn’t need Brother MingMing to worried about, he can only be irritating”

Again Princess WuLan couldn’t help but laugh.

“Hahahaha that kid is so cute”

....

Morning comes.

The sun on the plains around PaiHua city which is surrounded by rocky mountains and dense forests is brighter and hotter than YueYang, because of its high position the PaiHua plains are both colder and hotter because they are close to the sun. A forest of dense trees grows around the city of PaiHua, a city that shines with its tall buildings and the flag that flutters at the tip of the tallest pillar, equal to the height of the pillar of eternal fire burning majestically.

BaiYing’s room.

BaiYing’s days sleeping alone in his room turned out to be quite difficult, when he was cold there was no one to hug him, when the blanket was parted there was no one help him to tidy up, when he turned his body there were only bolsters that he could hug.

He couldn’t sleep that night, he didn’t get enough sleep which make his eyes blacken, this was really very inconvenient, how could he not sleep when he is someone who loves sleeping the most.

All night, he could not get off the Crown Prince’s face from his head, his smile, as the Crown Prince’s big hands hugged him until he fell asleep, heard the sound of the Crown Prince’s calm heartbeat which subconsciously put him to sleep, last night, after several nights had passed without the Crown Prince by his side, slowly he began to forget that voice, then, would he forget about it and become the loneliness BaiYing without the Crown Prince by his side?

“Remember, you are the Crown Prince’s concubine, YingYing don’t ever forget that very important thing, no matter what.”

The Crown Prince’s voice still rang in his head, BaiYing keep looking at the jade hairpin that the Crown Prince had given him since he entered the palace for the first time.

“Your Majesty, what, Your Majesty will be tired of waiting for Ying’er? What if His Majesty moves away and gets tired of waiting, heh, he will definitely find another concubine who is much cuter and more attractive, well who wants to wait, it’s not His Highness the Crown Prince’s fault if he ends up looking for Ying’er’s substitute” BaiYing muttered.
