Chapter 370: Chapter 370

370 We’re Back!

While ChenMing who was sitting in the middle of the room, occasionally looked at the Crown Prince and BaiYing who were talking quite loudly, the two thought this world might only belong to them, don’t care about others because they all not exist, ChenMing grumbled inwardly.

The young prince put his teacup on the saucer. Continue their conversation.

“So, young master Su, are you still willing to keep your position as a Junior Minister? I’ll give you a chance, considering you’ve done a very good job back then in XiaoWu forest, this small country needs a very good Young Minister like you”

SuPing who heard ChenMing’s words smiled. The old man glanced at his son who was sitting with his head down beside him.

“Come on Lang’er, answer quickly, this is a very good opportunity.”

SuLang clenched his two fists in front of ChenMing saluting.

“This is a very good offer, Your Majesty, but, uh, servant...” The young man glanced at BeiYau, SuPing frowned at his son’s somewhat dubious attitude.

“Lang’er” he whispered.

ChenMing followed the eyes of the young man in front of him, looked at BeiYau from underfoot to top of the head, and vice versa, the bodyguard got flustered when ChenMing looked at him with slanted eyes, what did he see? BeiYau thought awkwardly.

.....

“Eh”

SuLang lowered his head in return.

“Please forgive this Servant, Your Majesty but, servant, not interested in becoming Young Minister of Defense, that’s, a very attractive position but, that’s not what I want”

Hearing his son’s presumptuous words SuPing widened his eyes, he almost lowered his body in front of ChenMing to beg for mercy before the Prince got angry, but Chenming raised his hand to stop him.

“Lord Su, let your son speak up his mind, he deserves to say anything he wishes for.”

SuLang raised his head slowly.

“Em, I...would...”

ChenMing who was sitting on his horse leaving SuChou city took a deep breath. Every now and then he looked at the Crown Prince who was sitting on his big horse beside the golden carriage. Could that rotten Crown Prince allow anyone other than himself and BeiYau beside his beloved concubine instead, beside his dear brother? He can throw a tantrum, heh, this is a very tough decision, it’s better to just let things go as they are, thought ChenMing stomping the reins of his horse, speeding up the horse’s pace.

“Come on Chief GeLu, we have to get back to the palace by night”

GeLu who was beside the Prince answered loudly.

“Ready Your Majesty!”

The group accelerated their pace towards the setting sun, they were already out of SuChou city gate towards the next city, SuiLian, then PaiHua.

....

“Wooonggg!” the sound of long trumpets welcomed the King and The Young Prince’s entourage who entered the big gates of PaiHua city.

With a nonstop journey, the group arrived at the palace before the sunrise on the eastern horizon, and it was a very beautiful day.

........

Princess WuLan couldn’t stop laughing hearing BaiYing’s exciting story, the first person BaiYing looked for was, of course, his beloved grandmother, even though he hadn’t slept well enough the night before but the young man have plentiful energy to spend.

“Then that XiaoWu turned into a very cute bunny, granny, even though his body is still very big but he is round and his fur is clean and white, he is such adorable, if I don’t think he is so big, Ying’er really wants to take him home, he is so cute”

WuLan covered her mouth laughing, which one is more adorable, the hare that her grandson calls rabbit, or her grandson’s overly excited face when he talks with his big round wide eyes, he’s so adorable.

“Hehehehe, Grandma can imagine it, the hare must be so adorable to make my very cute and lovely Ying’er like it so much.”

Crown Prince approached, he sat beside BaiYing after saluting Princess WuLan.

“Greetings Princess”

“Your Highness the Crown Prince, thank goodness you weren’t hurt, this brat was so worried about you that he didn’t care about anything and immediately ran over when he heard the state envoy was in trouble.”

BaiYing pursed his lips at his Grandmother, shaking his grandmother’s hand.

“Grandma” his cheeks were red with embarrassment, WuLan laughed.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Heheheh this kid, he’s embarrassed”

LuoXiang shifted his seat, looked at BaiYing’s face from a very close distance and pinched his cheeks.

“This kid, he is really stupid and short-sighted, how could such a great Crown Prince lose to a hare that is said to be so cute and adorable, moreover that hare looks like someone I know”

LuoXiang said while looking at BaiYing’s goofy face.

Princess WuLan laughed again as she quickly understood what the Crown Prince’s word which mean for BaiYing.

“Who is that, Your Majesty?” asked BaiYing innocently.

LuoXiang flicked BaiYing’s forehead.

“You think? Who else?”

“Your Majesty, it’s hurt, you have been pinching here and there, grandma, see, Your Majesty is always bullied Ying’er, Ying not overacted, right? Grandma, you can see by yourself now.”

Princess WuLan was very amused, she couldn’t stop laughing seeing BaiYing’ annoyed face and LuoXiang who always tease him, and the kid kept shaking her arms ask for her support.

“Hahahaha”

“Grandma!”

“So what? Only I who can tease you, no one else is allowed, you forgot that Hua BaiYing?”

“Grandmother, Ying’s cheeks have stretched like this from being pinched constantly, Your Majesty is always teasing Ying’er, grandma, do something, at least tell him to not tease Ying anymore”

BaiYing being a spoiled brat to WuLan.

“Hehehe, unfortunately, Grandma can’t interfere with this my sweet child, this is your family household affairs”

“Grandma!”

......

The next day, the event which was supposed to be the inauguration of the Junior Minister was postponed after ChenMing decided to re-elect the Young Minister of Defense. There would be a rematch between SuLang and ShiShen, considering that ShiShen made the mistake of making a fuss in the middle of the market which is one of the prohibitions for young elected officials, fought in public, with that reason ChenMing had the right to suspend ShiShen’s position and hold a rematch.

But, just like what SuLang said, he had no intention of becoming the Young Minister of Defence, his main goal was, to become the King’s personal bodyguard, and, right now that position was indeed vacant, however, this matter was not as easy as he thought.

“I don’t mind, as long as he doesn’t come near my YingYing,” said the Crown Prince who was sitting quietly on his chair in the large room for the XinHua palace family gathering, enjoying the very fragrant XinHua’s special tea.

There’s ChenMing, Crown Prince, Old man Pai, and also ShinYa who join the discussion.

ChenMing who was sitting not far in front of him smirked.

“Hehe, pardon me, Your Majesty the honourable Crown Prince, but just like Guard Bei, the King’s personal bodyguard will be very close to the King, every time, every day, every hour”

While BaiYing who was sitting enjoying the snacks seemed not to be following the conversation, Yan and Bi served him enjoying all the delicious food which filled on the table in front of him.

“Sis, the cake is delicious, was this made by the palace chef?” Bai Ying asked.

Bi nodded.

“Of course, Your Majesty, the chefs and bakers in this palace are so great, they can make any kind of food and pastry, Yan and I learn some recipes when we are free, later we will make them in the Crown Prince’s palace as well Your Majesty”

BaiYing smiled broadly.

“Hehehe that’s great, then you should be able to make it, Ying will definitely miss all the good food in this palace someday”

Yan and Bi lowered their knees in salute.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Crown Prince glanced at BaiYing, raising his teacup, smells the good fragrance tea’s aroma.

“Then, I don’t agree about it, only I, the one beside my YingYing, any time anywhere, if anyone else dares to touch him, I will cut off their hand”

Hearing that, which ChenMing had already guessed earlier, still made him look at the Crown Prince with big rounded eyes, he grumbling.

“This guy, look how selfish he is, he the only one who can have a personal bodyguard”

ChenMing turned to BeiYau who was standing behind the Crown Prince, BeiYau noticed ChenMing’s sharp gaze that seemed to blame him.

“Moreover, My YingYing is more powerful than anyone else, who can hurt him? And I won’t stay too far from him, Prince Chen, you yourself have witnessed it with your own eyes right?”

Klekk.

LuoXiang put his teacup slowly back onto its placemat, he stood up from his seat, shook off his wide clothes and smoothed it over and slowly walked to BaiYing.

“Come on my YingYing, let’s just take a rest in the room, you haven’t slept since last night isn’t it?”

BaiYing who enjoying his food with his mouth full turned his head, smiled so wide that his eyes disappeared.

“Hehe, Your Majesty, please sit down, let’s enjoy the meal first, there’s a lot of it, the palace chef has cooked so many dishes for us, it’s a shame not to eat it”

BaiYing says it loud while pulling LuoXiang’s hand to sit beside him, and the Crown Prince couldn’t refuse.
