341 The Dayâs over
Night comes.
The Ministerial appointment ceremony ended when the sun had set.
From the results that day, of course, the Minister of Defense is still vacant, but they have already determined who the Junior Minister of Foreign Affairs is before the event ends.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Due to his extremely high test scores, FengHan came out as the first position candidate for Foreign Minister, and the final test before officially taking his position was given by Counselor Pai. The exams are very easy, trivial things such as the question of which shoes to wear in which season, and also what FengHan thinks about some foreign affairs that often occur, all the basic requirements to become a Junior Minister, the more difficult things will come when he is right in his position.
And BaiYing is quite satisfied with that, at least, there is one who can succeed, and electing the Minister of Defense from the beginning again, what is so hard from it?
Yan and Bi helped BaiYing take off his oversized clothes, his heavy robes sounded quite loud when placed on the table, instantly BaiYingâs shoulders felt very light.
âOuch this robe is so heavyâ
Bi helped BaiYing untie the face mask behind BaiYingâs head, after a day of wearing it, they missed the Viceroyâs sweet face that they admired so much.
âOh Your Majesty must be tired of wearing this for all day,â said Yan.
.....
âWell thatâs for sure, Bother Ming Ming is really annoying, itâs been very itchy since this morning.â
Yan untied BaiYingâs hair, instantly his long hair fell down.
âBut Your Majesty, it is the right choice for Your Majesty to wears this mask all day long.â
BaiYing turned his head, frowning at Biâs words helping to remove his hair ornament.
âWhy is that, sis?â
The two maids chuckled, covering their mouths trying not to laugh.
âHehehe please forgive us, Your Majesty, but since our Majestyâs face is so cute and eye-catching, what if none of the Candidates passes the test because theyâre not paying attention, instead of pay on Your Majestyâs face all dayâ
Finally, both of them laughed sweetly, Bai Ying pursed his lips, his maids were clearly teasing him again.
âYou guys, stop your sweet talk, how could that be? They are young people who are very smart and attentive to what they want, not just some random youth.â
âHehe, His Majesty the Crown Prince is not just anyone, but even His Majesty canât handle our Majesty lovely faceâ continued Yan. BaiYing understood the direction of the servantâs words, both of them could only laugh teasingly at him until his cheeks were red with embarrassment.
âOkay guys, just cut the word, you guys are getting weirder, is my water ready, Ying canât wait to take a nice bathâ
Yan gave a signal to a maid who had just entered carrying a basin of water to rinse his feet.
He helped BaiYing take off his shoes,
âBefore taking a bath, lets soaked Your Majestyâs feet first, according to Aunt Hu, the palace butler, this herb has just come from outside SuiLian city, it is very good for blood circulation and reducing varicose veins, because Your Majesty has already stood all day long, it must be very tired, right?â
BaiYing nodded, he let his two maids help him soak his tiny feet in a basin of herbal water to help relieve soreness after a long day of sitting and standing.
âOh, this is very nice, Sis.â
Not long after, several other waiters entered, including a middle-aged woman who stood in a row with several other young maids.
âYour Majesty, here is old lady Lo who is a masseuse in the palace, with Your Majesty permission, she can massage Your Majestyâs feet tonightâ
All the maids lowered their bodies to their knees in front of BaiYing.
âGreetings Your Majestyâ
BaiYing smiled as he made everyone stand up.
âHey, did sisters who told them to come?â BaiYing whispered to Bi.
The two maids shook their heads in unison.
âNo, Your Majesty, this is an order from His Majesty Prince Chen before the event starts, because according to him His Majesty will be tired all day, so remind us to ask her to come for Your Majesty tonightâ replied Bi, Yan agreed.
BaiYingâs mood, which was already very good when his feet soaked in the herbs, turned so bad when he heard his brotherâs name.
âheh brother againâ but, although his brother always teased and bullied him, that young man really pay attention to him, he couldnât deny it.
âhehâ
....
Night fell on the plains of PaiHua city.
The sound of the night birds could be heard from a distance. A cold wind blew carrying dry dust that flew far to every corner of the city. Soon a small rain fell on the ground, the cold night air made anyone reluctant to go out, let alone too long outside the house, it is better to burn wood and sit in front of the fireplace in a warm house while joking, the atmosphere of the city is so calm and peaceful, that is PaiHua which no matter how busy it is, there is still a quiet night.
XinHua Palace was guarded by so many soldiers standing by in front of the doors and courtyards, as well as several posts that were built a bit high to observe the surroundings, although the city and palace had always been in a safe condition during this time, everyone should be on guard, lest any sudden attacks occur. came from the old NuMen people again when they were caught off guard.
The atmosphere of the master bedroom on the second floor is very quiet. The sound of the door opening slowly and the maids in the room lowered their heads to see who had entered the Viceroyâs room that night.
Before long, BaiYing who was already sound asleep on his bed opened his eyes, felt someone touching his feet, massaging his feet, what is this a dream? He dreamed that he had returned to YueYang palace and the Crown Prince was now massaging his feet.
âYour Majestyâ
The young man rubbed his eyes to clear his eyes in the dim, he was too tired to realize that he had fallen asleep.
That person was not the Crown Prince, BaiYing was a bit disappointed, but, how could the Crown Prince be there suddenly, even though, he said he would pick him up in two days, and this, he had been there for more than a week.
âBrotherâ
The night guest, none other than Chen Ming, was already sitting on the edge of BaiYingâs bed, seeing the young man sleeping so soundly from exhaustion all day that he didnât notice his blanket was pulled apart, while thinking of taking some rubbing oil and massaging BaiYingâs feet, gently massaging BaiYingâs tiny feet.
âAre you tired? The maid said you fell asleep when auntie just massaged you, they couldnât continue because they were afraid of disturbing you.â
BaiYing pulled his body, sat back on the bed, looking at her sisterâs face, she forgot that she was still annoyed with her so she pulled her leg to stop her from massaging her.
âYingâs okay Brother, just a bit tired, donât need to bother big brother to massage Yingâs feetâ
ChenMing smiled, he closed the container of rubbing oil with a quite fragrant and refreshing aroma and placed it on the table not far from the bed. Seeing BaiYingâs face that was too tired but still had time to furrow his brows at him, he was indeed very adorable, in ChenMingâs head who admired his little brother more than anything, however, he expressed it in a different way.
âHeh, are you still angry with Big Brother? This little brother, why do you always hold grudges in your heart, and you sleep without eating first, donât you feel hungry?â ChenMing asked, not long after Yan and Bi appeared from the door, brought food in and placed it on the round table not far from the bed.
BaiYing turned his head, he was indeed hungry, but his tiredness overcame his desire to eat, recently, he really didnât have an appetite, all the food looked delicious, but, he felt quite full just looking at it, no desire to enjoy it, like before.
ChenMing noticed that he glanced at Yan to bring the bowl of porridge to him.
âEven if youâre not hungry you still have to eat, look at your body getting thinner like this, that rotten Crown Prince will say that youâre being treated unfairly here, letâs eat, big brother will feed you,â ChenMing said stirring the porridge with a spoon before blowing the hot steam, thrusting it in front of BaiYingâs mouth who was still looking at him with big eyes.
âCome one, just open your mouthâ
âYing can eat by myself Brother, after all, Ying doesnât have an appetite, Iâll eat it later.â
But ChenMingâs hand still stretched out in front of him.
âArenât you hungry, this is delicious, this is your favourite fish porridge, your beautiful maids who go to the market picks the fish by herself and cuts it for you, she said this fish tastes similar to the one in SanPo, try it first if it doesnât taste good, donât eat it.â
No matter how BaiYing tries to avoid him, ChenMingâs hand still stretched out in front of him.
âCome on brat, open your mouthâ
âBrother, why youâre so pushyâ
