506 Tastes so Sweet
âEm, and Your Majesty, grandma said that she has prepared beautiful clothes for Her Majesty the Queen and the concubines, do you think Her Majesty the Queen will like them?â
Luo Xiang saw Bai Yingâs innocent face, the two of them with a group of servants behind him followed by Bei Yau had also left the pavilion following the path leading to the lake. He only nodded once in a while when the young man asked him.
âYeah I think theyâll like itâ
âUm really, Your Majesty? Then what about the food that I brought? Would they like the sweets made by the palace chef Xin Hua? Oh, Ying really wants to carry everything as much as I can, shall we take another goods carriage, Your Majesty? How about the jewellery that Grandma told us to bring with us? Thereâs a lot of them.â
The Crown Prince couldnât stop smiling at Bai Ying who couldnât stop talking, so he stopped his steps and pulled Bai Ying towards him, pinching the boyâs cheek affectionately.
âThis kid, canât you stop talking?â
Bai Ying puffed his mouth out, touching his cheek.
âYour Majesty, it hurts, why does Your Majesty always pinch my cheek?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWho says, always? This is the first time big brother has pinched your cheeks.â
.....
Bai Ying looked at the Crown Prince with a sharp gaze.
âWho said that? Look at this, no wonder my cheeks are stretching like this, this is because Your Majesty always pinched me.â
Luo Xiang couldnât stop laughing, Bai Yingâs face was really cute, and he really just pinched him again after a long time, and he should have forgotten about it, the kid wonât know how often he pinched him because he was so adorable. It means that deep in the young manâs small heart he still remembers it, he just needs to remind him slowly. Luo Xiang grabbed Bai Yingâs palm, gripped it tightly and continued their way along the Chi Yun lake.
âOkay, please forgive me, then, come on my dear Ying Ying, the air this morning is very beautiful, itâs too sweet to miss, we are going on a picnic todayâ
Bai Ying nodded.
âYeah, weâre having a picnic!â
The sound of running water is calm.
By noon it was quite warm, with a slight breeze blowing and the sun shining brightly. Bai Ying and the Crown Prince sat under a shady tree by the lake, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the lake accompanied by the variety of snacks and fresh fruits that Yan and Bi did not stop bringing. The Viceroy and Crown Princeâs picnic is a big deal for all, with lots of little maids making sure the picnic went smoothly.
Luo Xiang glanced at Bei Yau who was standing not far from him. Seeing that the commander seemed to be giving orders from the look in his eyes, of course only Bei Yau understood the meaning of that gaze.
The young bodyguard lowered his head and backed away.
âYing Ying, do you like these grapes? I heard from old man Pai that the residents planted it outside the hill, they harvested quite a lot and we will bring it back to the palace.â
Bai Ying saw the Crown Princeâs hand thrusting the small green fruit in front of his mouth, opened his mouth wide and ate it.
âErm, delicious Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Queen will definitely like itâ
Luo Xiang pulled his lips, pinching the tip of Bai Yingâs nose exasperatedly.
âThis kid, are you only thinking about others? What if I donât want to share it with them? The taste and colour of those grown in Yue Yang are not the same, it wonât be enough for all of them.â
Bai Ying pursed his lips as he looked at the Crown Prince who looked serious with his words.
âYour Majesty, we can ask old man Pai to send it back to the palace, after all, it wonât last too long, we canât keep it for ourselvesâ
âStill, what if you complain later?â
âNo, Your Majesty, here, try this apple, it also tastes so good, we have lots of them, does Your Majesty want Ying to cut it for Your Majesty?â asked Bai Ying handing the red apple in front of the Crown Prince.
Luo Xiang look at the boy for while, instead of taking the apple, he held Bai Yingâs hand and brought it close to his mouth, biting it with a big mouth.
âEmh, thatâs delicious.â
Bai Ying couldnât pull his hand away.
âSee, it also grows in the citizensâ gardens, shall we also bring it to the palace? Will all this fit on the train?â
âOf course, it can fit, my Ying Ying, but, thereâs no need to carry it, either way, any fruit will taste really good.â
Bai Ying looked at the Crown Prince with his big eyes.
âReally, Your Highness? Thatâs right, any fruit that grows anywhere will be just as delicious, just a little different in taste.â
Luo Xiang pulled Bai Yingâs hand until his body fell on him.
âWell of course, because when I eat it I always see Ying Yingâs face, then all food will taste very good, whatever it isâ The Crown Princeâs slurred words made Bai Ying unable to hide his embarrassment, smiling until his face was red.
Bai Ying pushed the Crown Princeâs chest away from him, but Luo Xiang caught his small wrist. He pulled the young manâs body and kissed his cheek.
Chup.
âSee? It tastes so sweet.â
Bai Ying pushed the Crown Princeâs body away from him.
âYour Majesty, please stop teasing Ying er.â
Luo Xiang pulled Bai Yingâs waist as the young man was about to stand up, looking at his eyes very closely.
âEm, do, Ying Ying, donât mind if your brother tries to approach you again? What does Ying Ying think about this brother of yours?â
Bai Ying clenched his two small hands in front of Luo Xiangâs chest so as not to get too close to him, staring at the handsome manâs face for a long time, watching him carefully trying to think about what he had forgotten, and, the manâs eyes did seem to harbour very deep feelings for him. When he saw him, his chest would tremble violently, his blood boiled and his stomach queasy, donât know what happened. It was probably due to his internal injuries, although, all those intense feelings made his chest warm.
Bai Ying raised one hand, caressing the Crown Princeâs large cheek. Luo Xiang closed his eyes and touched Bai Yingâs hand, feeling the soft touch on him.
âMy Ying Yingâ
âYour Majesty, I donât know what Iâve forgotten, I wish I knew, but, it feels very warm and comfortable to be around Your Majesty, this, isnât so badâ
Luo Xiang smiled, holding Bai Yingâs hand. and kissed the palm of his hand.
âSo, did Ying Ying allow this brother of yours to chase after you? Proving that Ying Yingâs love is also deep down there.â
Bai Ying stuttered.
âYour Majesty, what does that mean, chasing after me? What, Your Majesty, want me to run?â Bai Ying asked innocently.
Luo Xiang smiled, he wrapped his arms around Bai Yingâs waist and pulled him closer to sit on his lap, staring at Bai Yingâs cute face until he tilted his head and kissed Bai Yingâs sweet lips.
âChupâ not once, but twice, three times.
Bai Ying didnât feel like rejecting him, he returned the Crown Princeâs kiss which had made his chest boil, but, just as he was about to tilt his head to let the Crown Prince kiss him more comfortably, the man pulled his head away from him instead.
âChupâ
Bai Ying looked at Luo Xiangâs pair of deep eyes.
âYour Majestyâ
Luo Xiang smiled, he lifted Bai Yingâs hand and kissed it.
âBrother will keep trying, until Ying Ying can remember our love well, as long as Ying Ying is willing to accept me, it doesnât matter if it took time, brother will wait until that day comes.â
Bai Ying stuttered, his heartbeat running so fast, his stomach was hot, just a moment ago when the Crown Prince kissed him, his chest was beating too fast as if something tries pushed out of his body.
Well, whatever it is, although not really understand what it means, the Crown Princeâs eyes at him are so sincere, that he nodded slowly.
âOf course, Your Majesty, after all, I also have plenty of time.â
Luo Xiang smiled, he hugged Bai Yingâs body tightly with his two hands, spoiled, burying his head into his shoulder like a baby.
âEmm, My love Ying Yingâ
âEm, Your Majesty, are we going through Xian Yang city? Ying er misses Grandpa Po a lot, I wonder how he is now?â Bai Ying asked.
If it wasnât mentioned by Bai Ying, Luo Xiang might have forgotten the old man, he even remembered that fart old man but not him, how annoying is that?
âHeh, what should you remember about him and forgot about me, this bratâ
