513 City of San Po
The Queen chuckled at Chai Niâs voice.
âHehehe, itâs just like how your brother usually is, just let him satisfy himself by walking around, as long as heâs right here tomorrow, and the event will just start tomorrow afternoonâ
The two, with the maids from the Princess, entered the Gold dragon hall.
âWell if He doesnât come, Ni er will report this to father and revoke brotherâs permission to adventure outside the palaceâ
âOh, does the Crown Prince still like to go outside?â
The princess nodded.
âThatâs right, Kuku, since Grandma passed away, brother feel so uncomfortable staying in the palace with no one to understand him, he travelled around for months, yesterday Guard Hu have to chase him home, and now the two of them are busy walking around the city, what an annoying brotherâ
The Queen covered her mouth laughing at Chai Niâs angry face, who furrowed her brow and sharp eyes.
âHehehe he really is a naughty boyâ

Downtown of San Po.
The Yue Yang nationâs capital was definitely a classy city, from the lifestyle of its citizens to all the neat and clean forms of buildings and roads. Even the clothes worn by street vendors were clean and luxurious.
âCandied fruit, candied fruit of San Po, five taels for threeâ
Men and women with beautiful faces, fair skin tall and slender bodies. Most San Po natives are like that, of course, the capital city always welcomes every comer in the city, whether itâs for trade or school.
The city of San Po is by far the city that students from all over the country go to, it is said that if you manage to enter one of the prestigious academies in the city and graduate, you will have the opportunity to be recruited by the palace to become officials. Whether itâs officials working in the government or even in the imperial palace, all factions get equal opportunities, without exception, whether they are rich or poor because the academy does not charge a fee for students who pass the entrance test with scores determined by the academy.
The golden carriage belonging to the Crown Princeâs entourage had entered the main street of the big city. From the gate, the guards picked up the group and escorted them to the imperial palace.
The residents gave way, all who were on the side of the road lowered their heads to make way for passing palace officials, as far as the residents noticed, at that time were passing by a group of high-ranking palace officials, not the Crown Princeâs.
There was Elder Yi at the back of the group, sitting on Bai Yingâs big black horse, Xiao Hei, who followed Bai Ying wherever he goes. Actually, the black untamed horse didnât want other people to keep taking turns riding it, if it wasnât for Bai Ying who asked, the superior horse would definitely rebel.
âheeeâ
Elder Yi stroked his chin, his eyes gleaming at the sight of the city becoming more and more beautiful from time to time, even the women, who couldnât help but smile when they saw Elder Yi, an old but young man with handsome silver hair flashing a sweet smile to them.
âHello everyoneâ
While Bei Yau was in the lead behind the gold-armoured guards from the imperial palace who were picking them up, this time his subordinate who had been promoted to commander, Guard Liu.
The sound of the hoofs of horses stepping on the stones neatly arranged on the main road of the capital, unlike other cities that are far from the capital, obviously all the roads and buildings in the capital near the imperial palace were made from high-quality materials, it makes the chariot belonging to the entourage pass smooth without much shaking.
Bai Ying poked his head out of the window, widening his eyes wide to see the crowd on the side of the road.
âWow, Your Majesty, there are so many sellers, this is indeed a bustling city, see Your Majesty, the shape of the lantern is so cute, can Ying come down to buy it?â Bai Ying exclaimed turning to the Crown Prince who was sitting leisurely with him in the carriage.
âNo, Ying, weâll be arriving soon, our carriage is too big and will block the street, after all, old man Lee in the palace can make any shape of lanterns you want, Ying Ying just needs to remember the shape and ask the old man to make it for youâ
Bai Ying looked back out the window and pursed his lips.
âYour Highness, canât do this, canât do that, this not allowed that not allowed, Servant is so boringâ
Luo Xiang pulled his lips, the brat didnât change his character at all, he was really like a hot worm.
âYing, sit tight, you will complain your head hurts from looking at the road too muchâ
âYour Majesty, Ying wants to eat beef jerky, since yesterday we didnât find it anywhere, come on, Your Highness, buy it for Ying er ok? When we reach the palace, itâs hard to find delicious beef jerky,â said Bai Ying, shaking the Crown Princeâs hand.
Luo Xiang pulled his lips, looking at Bai Yingâs cute face that pitied him.
âThis kid, just as big brother said, we canât stop halfway, all will be hindered by our entourage, how about we arrive at the palace first, and big brother will ask Guard Bei to buy it for youâ
Bai Ying puffed his mouth.
âAh Your Majesty, Ying wants it now, Ying has been craving that since yesterday, come on, ask the Guard Bei to buy it now, come on, Your Majesty, will you? Pleaseeeâ
Luo Xiang saw Bai Yingâs cute and sweet as a kid face, a stubborn kid, heâs back as his natural the spoiled Bai Ying, who had always been him all along.
âThen, what will big brother get if my Ying Ying gets his beef jerky today?â The Crown Prince started teasing Bai Ying.
The young man thought, he furrowed his brow in deep thought.
âUm, really, what kind of gift would Your Majesty want? Would Your Majesty like beef jerky too?â
Luo Xiang shook his head.
âNo, I donât like it, only my Ying Ying who is.â
Bai Ying thought again.
âEm, then what do you want, Your Highness?â
While Bai Ying was busy thinking, Luo Xiang stepped forward and kissed Bai Yingâs cheek.
âChupâ
The young manâs eyes went wide, how suddenly the Crown Prince kissed him.
âYour Majesty, youâre cheating! We agreed not to steal any sudden kisses anymoreâ
Luo Xiang smiled mischievously, caressing Bai Yingâs cheek from his former kiss.
âSo how is this, my lip moves on its own, I canât control it, but, this could become a very good gift as a repay for the beef jerky,â Luo Xiang asked while touching Bai Yingâs cheek.
Bai Ying stuttered, the look in the Crown Princeâs mischievous eyes when he saw his made his cheeks blush, he couldnât hide his red face. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThis highness, what has to do with a kiss? Itâs better to eat beef jerky.â
âWho says that? To Big brother, my Ying Ying kiss is much tastierâ
Hearing the Crown Princeâs slanderous words, Bai Ying couldnât hide his embarrassment anymore, the young man who was just about to grow up couldnât stop his smile, he turned his head the other way.
âYour Highness!â
......
In the midst of the busy streets of San Po, recently it is common for officials to visit the annual palace event. Inside a fairly lively restaurant which is a bit down an alley from the main road.
Brukk,
A long spear with a sharp tip, a small body with a shiny black iron moored against the wall behind the rows of tables in the restaurant.
âI told you, donât take your spear out here, it makes it difficult for us to move let alone to find food isnât it?â asked the man sitting at the table for two, a handsome young man, in a silky garment that shimmered in the gentle breeze, the sparkle of the stones that adorned the garment had bounced in all directions.
The man sitting across from him was a young man with a firm and handsome face, tall and big.
âI canât do that, Your Majesty, as Your Majestyâs personal bodyguard, I must always carry my weapon with me everywhere.â
The man he called His Majesty smiled, with white teeth lined neatly from behind his pink lips.
âHey, all this time I can protect myself, do I still need you, Guard Hu?â asked the young man.
The young restaurant waiter immediately approached the two and took their orders.
âWelcome Costumer, what can Servant help with?â
Soon the waiter left to prepare his second order.
At the door, Bei Yau entered the restaurant.
âBoss, please give me two big packs of beef jerky, the freshest!â cried Bei Yau.
âReady customer, please wait a momentâ
One of the young manâs eyes widened. He recognized Bei Yau very clearly.
âGuard Bei?â
