Concubine Lui cried when she saw the Queen arrive just on time to save her from punishment.
âHuks Your Majestyâ
The Queen glanced at LuoXiang who only lowered his head to salute his mother, did not expect the Queen to suddenly visit there, heh, this must be because another concubine has snitched out, yeah thats right, the one who is now standing behind his mother Queen, Concubine Fu, who lowered her body to greet Crown Prince.
âGreeting Your Highnessâ
Not long after, thereâs only the Queen and the Crown Prince in the room enjoying their tea, while the other concubines waited outside.
âMother, you know how Xiangâer is, Xiangâer will at least tolerate it if one of my concubines is acting over someone who is not their concern, what will other people think? Because the Crown Prince could not manage his concubines so that they became arrogant and acted arbitrarily â
The Queen glanced after taking a little sip of her tea, she then put it on the table.
.....
âWell, Mother understands Xiangâer, but you also canât go too far to punish her, Mother feels Fanâerâs intention is actually good, she just a little too much. â
The Crown Prince glanced at the Queen, a little irritated, restrained in annoyance.
âMother calls that a little too much? She brought two prisoners to her house, ordered the guards to torture them, next time what will she do? Kill them? Then how should Xiangâer deal with someone like that? Does Mother think itâs right to do that? Those two little maids could have lost their lives if it wasnât for YingYing who come in time to save them, itâs too muchâ
The Queen sighed, she herself didnât know what to say, but concubine Lui is not an ordinary person, she is the younger daughter of the Secretary of state who is so important, if that person gets angry then there will be a problem. LuoXiang seemed to understand what his mother was thinking.
âSo, if the state secretaryâs child canât be punished? So can anyone else be punished? Is that what you mean?â
The Queen stuttered a little, why could the Crown Prince know what she was thinking?
âEh, hehe, thatâs not all Xiangâer, em how about this, let Mother punish her for you, what do you think?â
The Crown Prince crossed his two arms across his chest in annoyance.
âDonât bother with it Mother, Xiangâer hopes next time Mother doesnât interfere in Xiangâerâs household matters, or if Mother really likes her, just take her home for yourself,â said the Crown Prince, the Queen swallowed her saliva, as usually, her son who very stubborn that now even scolding her, apparently he was really angry.
âEh X-Xiangâerâ
The Crown Prince excused himself leaving the Queen alone in the Pavilion room, even the Queen canât persuade him because of Luo Xiangâs anger which was clearly visible above his head.
âEuh that kidân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
............
At the Lili Pavilion.
BaiYing smiled, sitting on the side of Muâerâs bed which gradually recover, quite quickly, it says that Muâer family brought her a very effective medicine that could slowly heal her damaged organs, even though it would take a little bit long time because Muâer did not have the inner power like him, but he was relieved that his older sister was looking better now and was even able to sit and chat with him arranging flowers in order to kill their boring time.
âThis one was put in here, wow it turns out so great.â BaiYingâs eyes shone at the flower stalks he decorated himself, quite satisfied with the results.
Muâer, who sat leaning back on her bed, also looked cheerful with a brighter face, not as pale as before.
âThis is also good, then tied up here so it wonât off easilyâ
BaiYing lowered his head to see Muâerâs work.
âWhich one sis?â
The two of them laughed when they saw the results of BaiYingâs irregular bonding.
âHahahah, this is so messyâ
âSister Yen needs to be a little slower, put your finger in here carefully, then wrap it this way, and this way.â
BaiYing laughed at himself, his hands were not as skillful as Muâerâs hands.
âHehehehe sister, sorry, Yenâer has ruin thisâ
.........
Towards evening come again, at Plumâs pavilion.
âGreetings Your Majesty,â voiced the doorman lowering their heads as the Crown Prince passed.
LuoXiang, who entered the pavilion room with his two hands behind his waist, was startled when he heard a very loud sound as he entered the room,
âPrang !!â
His eyes widened wide looking for the source of the sound, but there were only guards in the living room while BaiYing and his servants were nowhere to be seen, the sound seemed to come from the kitchen outside the backyard, he rushed over.
âYingYing!â he exclaimed.
LuoXiang stopped at the kitchen door where several servants could be seen standing outside the room, all glancing into the room which was hard to see since the servants covered it, they immediately turned around as they noticed the Crown Princeâs voice behind them.
âAhemâ
Immediately lowered their bodies to salute.
âGreetings, Your Highness the Crown Princeâ
LuoXiang waved his hand to ask the servants who were none other than the household servant and cooks to stand up, he turned his head into the kitchen where it turned out that BaiYing was standing messing up the kitchen with his cooking scene.
âThis needs to be cut in small pieces, Sister Yan please wash this first,â
Luo Xiang raised his finger to stop Yan and Biâs voices whoâs about to greet him, so he motioned the two of them to step out as BaiYing was busy looking at the pot.
Slowly the Crown Prince settles in.
âIt should be cut into small pieces, sis Bi, how the hell is this?â BaiYing glanced back where the two little servants should have been, he instead spun around and didnât notice the big body of the Crown Prince that was right behind him.
âEm where are you guys? itâs not done yetâ
Feeling something was blocking his way, BaiYing turned his body and hit someone who was now very close to him, so close that he couldnât stop himself from falling when he collided until LuoXiangâs hand stretched out and pulled his waist.
âOopsâ
The Crown Princeâs hand caught his body quickly, grabbed his hand, and hugged him tightly from falling.
âEh Y-Your Majestyâ
All the servants who saw him held their breath, the scene was so romantic that Yan and Bi couldnât help smiling.
âOhh, Your Highness.â
They covered their mouths in restraint, while BaiYingâs big eyes glanced at them.
âWhat are you looking at?â he exclaimed, immediately the servants dispersed and left the kitchen.
The Crown Prince tugged at the edges of his lips, BaiYingâs face so close to heâs that he couldnât bear to kiss his lips, cheeks, smelling the scent.
âErm, YingYing smells so goodâ
BaiYing tried to release the Crown Princeâs grip on him, getting back on his own feet slowly.
âEh Y-Your Highness, this is the kitchen, please donât do anything weird in hereâ
âEm I donât do anything weird, just hugging my loveâ
BaiYing pulled his lips, that sweet, cheesy word.
The Crown Prince let go of his grip, seeing BaiYing who was very attractive in his eyes wearing an apron with a little charcoal stain on his nose and cheeks, he raised his hand to clean the stain.
âLook at my YingYingâs smooth face, why do you have to get charcoal on your skin? Can YingYing cook? Do you want to cook for me? â Said the Crown Prince with a very close distance from BaiYing, BaiYing pushed the Crown Princeâs body away from him.
âYour Majesty, please go out, I want to make something for Yan and Bi, because they havenât fully recovered so I will make something for them.â
The Crown Prince chuckled at BaiYingâs adorable words.
âHehehe, can this YingYing cook?â
BaiYing glanced at the Crown Prince with his sharp gaze, he underestimated him, huh?
