Second Prince LuoYan was already there, sitting with a very wide smile looking at BaiYingâs face who still saw him with his blinked big eyes, big eyes with light brown color as clear as water in the ocean and sparkling like stars above the night sky, very attractive eyes, drawn LuoYan to get closer to him.
Inevitably BaiYing opened his mouth to accept the shrimp because the Second Princeâs hand had been too long in front of his face.
âBeautiful concubine Hua, why are you sitting here alone, how are you? You look so tired, the Crown Prince should take you to your room first to rest and he can come here by himself, but, Iâm so happy to see this beautiful face so tonight itâs not too boring. â
BaiYing chewed the big prawns with his mouth so bloated, his mouth was still chewing, leaving a little crumb on the tip of his lips.
LuoYan raised his hand to wipe the crumbs off BaiYingâs sweet lips which stunned the young man and stopped his movements.
âEh Your Majestyâ
âHeh, Iâm sorry about what happened to your family, yeah, but, regardless of what happened, I am very relieved that concubine Hua did not become a victim in the attackâ
.....
BaiYing lowered his head, he still did not understand what happened, but from the attitude of Brother YiFang the other day, it could be that the murder of the entire of his family happened because of him, was he the one who caused all the residents of the Hua family, those twenty-two lost their lives because of him? Could it really be because of him? If that was the case, what should be done to make up for all his mistakes? And what he did wrong to get the killers to finish off his family?
LuoYanâs hand was about to lift back to straighten BaiYingâs hair covering his cheeks as he looked down until someone held his hand.
âBrother, What are you doing here? â LuoXiangâs voice, as BaiYing raised his face the Crown Prince was already in front of him, holding the Second princeâs hand.
LuoYan straightened his seat, he pulled his lips, why did his younger brother always bother him at the most inopportune moments, that should be what LuoXiang thought when he saw his brother with his sharp eyes, why was that person always trying to disturb his YingYing? That man is really shameless.
LuoXiang didnât say much, after releasing his grip on the Second Princeâs hand, he stretched out his hand for BaiYing.
âYingYIng, letâs go back to our room to rest.â
BaiYing glanced at the Second Prince, then took Luo Xiangâs hand and stood up.
âWas it too long?â LuoXiangâs hand gently smoothed BaiYingâs front hair while holding his hand tightly towards the door, BaiYing shook his head.
âNot really, but Your Majesty hasnât had a chance to eat since earlier, isnât Your Majesty not hungry?â BaiYing asked, LuoXiang smiled, he felt his stomach.
âEm so hungry, well, we go back to the room and eat, your two maids must have cooked something delicious after knew youâll back to pavilion today.â
LuoYan sighed, looking at LuoXiangâs back that was hugging BaiYingâs back towards the door, followed by his personal bodyguards.
The Emperor approached his second son, he put his two hands behind his waist and took a deep breath looking at the Crown Prince walking out of the hall.
âHeh Xiangâer concubine this time is very interesting, does Yanâer think that too?â asked the Emperor, LuoYan glancing at his father.
âWell, it is very interesting, but she is too young for father, donât even think about itâ
The emperor chuckled at his second sonâs words, both of them turned inward towards the side door.
âHehehehe, even though Father thinks like that, what can we do? Didnât you see that Xiangâer was really possessive about his concubine? â
LuoYan chuckled, he opened his fan.
âHemmh, itâs weird, that little brother has never been this possessive before, it seems like it is very unlikely that itâs impossible he could let go of that concubine.â
The two of them laughed loudly until their voices echoed in the Dragon Hall which was starting to empty, apart from the special bodyguards of the Emperor and the Second Prince who were still in there.
âHahahahaâ
...
Plum Pavilion.
BaiYingâ young maids were moved to greet their concubine in the pavilion, both of them were moved and could not hold back their tears.
âEms Your Majesty, thank Goodness Your Majesty is back, we really miss youâ Yanâs voice trembled because of her sobs, Bi nodded, both of them stumbled and difficult to talk, BaiYing smiled seeing the two who lowered their bodies to their knees until he woke the two maids and looked at them.
âHey, you guys, Iâve come home, look at both of you, crying until you get too ugly like thisâ
Yan and Bi wiped their tears, raised their heads to see BaiYingâs face, his eyes still looked a little swollen from crying, realizing that the two maids glanced at each other and could not hold back their tears again from falling.
âHuks Your Highness, weâre so sorry for your lostâ
BaiYing tried to hold back his tears, he had been crying too much, his eyes were still swollen, the Crown Princeâs hand tapped his shoulder when he saw his sad face again.
âYingYingâ
BaiYing turned his head, smiled at the Crown Prince, and nodded, he had promised to try to hold back his tears because he would try to be strong, at least until the swelling in his eyes disappeared.
The Crown Prince pulled BaiYingâs body slowly and embraced him, BaiYing looked very small in the Crown Princeâs big arms, he could rest his head on the Crown Princeâs very warm wide, and firm shoulders, a hug that had given him strength for the last few days, at least now, he can enjoy it for a moment.
âYour Honourâ
...
All night, LuoXiang just lay on BaiYingâs bed hugging him until the young man fell asleep, BaiYingâs innocent face with his head now resting on his shoulders.
LuoXiang raised his hand to caress BaiYingâs forehead which was covered with his messy hair, he touched his forehead, felt BaiYingâs tightly closed eyelids, his nose, his lips, his smooth face without the slightest stain on the surface, YingYing was indeed very perfect, if he had not known YingYing from a young age he would definitely fall in love just by seeing him now, BaiYingâs gentle figure, cute face, it wasnât so strange that YiFang obsessed with him to death, on how the tenderness and kindness of HuaBaiYing stir his hearts.
