528 Gossip
The next morning.
Bai Ying who was very bored visiting Peach Pavilion, invited Lan er and Fan er to play dominoes with him, of course, while gossiping.
âReally? Does his Majesty really treat you like that? Itâs outrageous, doesnât he love you the most, brother?â asked Fan er.
Bai Ying furrowed his eyes sharply.
âThatâs what you thinking sister, His Highness the Crown Prince is indeed strange, sometimes he treats me so good, and at other times he is such annoying, Ying is just watching from far, it wonât even disturb him either.â
âBrother, is it possible, if His Highness the Crown Prince has also grown tired of you?â whispered Fan er.
Lan er who heard that widened her eyes, she patted Fan erâs shoulder.
âSister, what are you talking about? How could His Highness the Crown Prince be bored with our younger brother, he loves Ying er more than anything else in this worldâ Lan er exclaimed.
Fan er pulled her lips.
.....
âThat could have happened, sis, didnât you see the new concubine candidate, sweet mouth, sexy body and definitely expert in seduction, who wouldnât be interested in her,â said Fan er, he glanced at Lan er as if he deliberately said that to make Bai Ying angry, but, the boy just kept quiet and focused on his dominoes. Fan er nudged Lan erâs arm for her sister to join her teasing Ying er.
âUm, on second thought I quite agreed with that, I also didnât see the Crown Prince reject the new concubine, that means he might agree, well, at least His Highness the Crown Prince will have other things to do besides chasing Bai Ying who is so naughtyâ
Both of them waited for Bai Ying to react, and looked at the boy for a long time until Bai Ying noticed the gazes of the two and looked at two in confusion.
âWhat, sis? Come on, sis, itâs your turn nowâ said Bai Ying pointing at the cards arranged on the table.
Fan er pursed her lips.
âThis little brother, why donât you get angry when sister says that? Donât you love the Crown Prince so much? Are you going to just sit back and watch him fall to another heart?â exclaimed Fan er excitedly.
Bai Ying looked at his two older sisters in turn. Then continue the game.
âIndeed, why should Ying be angry? If His Majesty really wants that, well let it be, heâs the Crown Prince, itâs only natural to have many concubines at once, thatâs not a strange thing right?â Bai Ying said.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Fan er and Lan er looked at each other, both wide eyes wide. Lan Er raised her hand to touch Bai Yingâs forehead.
âItâs a bit warm, Sisâ
âCould a fever affect the way you thinking and talk?â asked Fan er.
Lan Er frowned.
âI donât know, sis.â
âSister, why are you acting so strange?â Bai Ying shouted.
Lan er looked at Bai Ying with big eyes.
âYouâre the weird one, how can our little Ying think like that? Donât you love the Crown Prince more? If thatâs the case you should hold him tightly, having a new concubine or not doesnât matter, but if he likes her it will be a big problem, he will forget about you, if he does, that means He also going to forget about us too. Heâll abandon us!â
Fan er nodded.
âThatâs right brother, a new concubine can take the position of being Queen and oppress us, that canât be happening, and because of that we all will grow old and rotten at the back palaceâ
Bai Ying seemed to ignore his two noisy sisters, raising his hand to continue the game and making Lan Er pinch his cheek in exasperation.
âThis brother, reallyâ
âSister, it hurts!â Bai Ying groaned while stroking his cheeks which were instantly red from being brutally pinched by Lan er, his sisterâs anger reached a peak until her face was red and glared at Bai Ying with her big scary eyes.
âSister, what if it swelled? So hardâ
Lan er folded her arms in front of her chest.
âWhat makes you change your mind? It wasnât like you used to be so desperately chasing after the Crown Princeâs love, why do you seem to be giving up now?â Lan er exclaimed.
Bai Ying looked at Lan er sharply.
âWho is desperately pursuing the Crown Princeâs love? Was it, back then, Ying was like that, sis?â the boy even asked them. This made Lan er even more furious and wanted to pinch him again if it werenât for Bai Ying dodging quickly.
âThis kidâ
âSister, why are you so fierceâ
Lan er pointed to Bai Yingâs seat,
âSit down! Sister is upset and because of that you canât go anywhere, sit down!â Lan er shouted with her eyes glaring at Bai Ying.
Bai Ying swallowed hard, not expecting that the two would be that mad, the young man slowly sat back down in his place.
âOh sister, donât be mad.â
Fan Er threw his dominoes on the table, they continued their game.
âThis kid is such a weird, youâll regret it when it happens.â
Lan Er looked at Bai Ying with bulging eyes.
âYeah, youâll regret it later.â
Bai Ying pursed his lips, he thought he would regret it later, but, did he have any other choice?
Earlier when he departed from the West Dragon Pavilion with his maids and arrived in front of the Peach Pavilion. Bai Ying stopped in front of the kitchen after overhearing quite loud conversations from several servants who were busy working in the kitchen. Bai Ying shouldnât have passed through there, it not because he was bored and turned to look at some of his plants behind the Eagle pavilion where the Crown Princeâs study was, he passed by.
There are several maids whose clothes are servants of the Queenâs palace.
âSo, Princess Chai Ni is going to marry the Crown Prince? How many concubines so far?â whispered the little maid from the Crown Princeâs palace.
âEm, it seems the fourth one, this is for the sake of maintaining a fairly good trade relationship, but Iâm sure, with the current position of the Princess she will not only become a concubine, but will become a Queenâ
Another servant sounded amazed.
âWow, really? Does that mean you will be promoted to the Queenâs maidservant?â
The two differently dressed maids nodded.
âSurely, our princess is very beautiful and smart, she will definitely become Queenâ
The little maids laughed softly, not daring to speak loudly because if their voices were to be heard outside they would certainly be severely punished for gossiping.
âHehehe I thinkâ
Remembering that, Bai Ying who was now sitting down to continue playing their dominoes took a deep breath, resting his chin on his hands, it canât be helped, he thought.
âHehâ
Lan er and Fan er who saw the change in Bai Yingâs face glanced at each other, Fan er even shook her head at Lan er.
....
While on the Peony field,
The Crown Princeâs tent, Bei Yau just receives the messenger from the Emperorâs Palace who conveys the official letter from the Emperor himself.
Luo Xiang just finished reading the official scroll letter and hand it back to Bei Yau who standing beside him.
âEmperor has gathered up the officials and talked about the situation near Xian Yang, Old General Po said the clans already take some place at Xian Yang to join on the yearly competition, and we should have head there if we want to join the competition since the registration will start by fifteenthâ
Bei Yau thinks until he brow frown.
âThat would be around twenty days from now Your Majesty, the trip to Xian Yang is around five days, and not to mention we still have to go to the White Cloud to join the clan, and the Princeâs competition is finished in two days, our time is too tight,â said Bei Yau.
Luo Xiang nodded.
âYeah, and we need to hurry up,â said the Crown Prince while clenching his hand behind his back.
The Crown Prince is silent, his eyes staring at his front thinking so hard. Bei Yau understands, the Palaceâs affairs, after the last big fights with Black Snake and now the Martial arts worldâs head who start to surface, its lot of things happened lately, and the Crown Prince must be feeling restless from all of it, he could understand how tired the Crown Prince now.
But, that, might not be what the Crown Prince has in mind.
Luo Xiang felt restless because of his little sweet concubine who ignored him all night, and he really missed the kid so much that make him unable to concentrate, this is very frustrating! But, what can Luo Xang do now? He canât show his weakness in front of Bei Yau and others, he is the mighty Crown Prince! He shouldnât be felt troublesome just because of that little brat, oh Gosh!
âAhem, Bei, we must finish the competition today, I need to go to the Emperor Palaces to discuss this matter,â said the Crown Prince walking to the exit, followed by Bei Yau and other guards.
Bei Yau nodded.
âYes, Your Majestyâ
#On The Crown Princesâs head.
âI should ask Bei to go to the city to buy some jerky for that brat, lots of itâ
