âEm, didnât know, sheâs told me that a new concubine would arrive that night since I donât care so I didnât even hear what Mother said, I think like the others, just do what she said, without too many questions about this Concubine matter, but, heh, after knowing itâs YingYing, hehe, I feel very lucky. â
BaiYing frowned.
âYour Majesty, then, how did you know itâs me??
LuoXiang thought again, he nodded.
âYess, since merchant Hua only has two children, one is BaiYen and the other one is BaiYing, of course, itâs easy to guessâ
âWell it could be someone else, you know Iâm in disguise, even the other concubines didnât realize that I was lying in front of them. , wait .. âBaiYingâs eyes widened.
âMay.., maybe they already know that servant is fake? But didnât say anything? How could they know nothing while Your Majesty can immediately guess who Iâam?. â
.....
Luo Xiang smiled, he raised BaiYingâs hand to stop the young manâs rambling words.
âHey, I just know, because, you are my YingYingâ
BaiYing pulled his hand away from the Crown Princeâs grip.
âYour Majesty, this is serious, itâs a big risk if they find out who I really am now, we havenât found out whoâs the mastermind behind my family massacre, I canât just get out now.â
LuoXiang stopped his hands, looking at BaiYingâs face from a very close distance, BaiYing swallowed his saliva round, the Crown Princeâs gaze suddenly took him seriously.
âY-Your Majestyâ
âSooner or later they will find out who YingYing really is, it is only a matter of time, but one thing is for sure, YingYing will always stay here, who said you will get out?â
BaiYing stuttered, the Crown Princeâs gaze when he said it was very deep.
âBut Your Majesty, servant, is not a real concubine, one day I have to get out of here, I will stay with Grandpa Po at his house, so if Your Majesty wants to come to visit ..â
âWho allowed you to go there? Your house is here, you belong to the Crown Prince, so you canât just randomly stay in someone elseâs house â LuoXiangâs voice was a little harsh while gripping BaiYing hand tight.
BaiYing silent, seeing the serious face of the Crown Prince, he then slowly pulled his hand and shifted his seat, turning his head away from the Crown Princeâs face at that time.
âYour Majesty, itâs late, we better go to sleep.â
BaiYing lowered his head, with the Crown Prince attitude, he knew that the man would stand up from his seat and leave his room in anger, he knew him so close enough that he could guess what he was thinking, but ..
âHeh my YingYingâ
Thatâs not what happened, BaiYing opened his eyes wide when he realized the Crown Princeâs large hand wrapped around his waist hugging him from behind, resting his head on YingYingâs shoulder.
âDonât go, just stay with me here, forever, you donât know how long I have been waiting for this day to come. You must have wondered how I can recognize you, even after you dress up as a beautiful cute girl, I recognize you, even a little doubtful at first but I finally recognized you right? Thatâs because your face has never really disappeared from my head, after these ten years. â
BaiYing didnât move, opened his eyes wide to hear the Crown Princeâs confession, ten years, that means when they still met outside the palace, in his house? when he was around five-six years old, how couldnât he remember something like that?
BaiYingâs hand was about to let go of Luo Xiangâs hand but the Crown Prince tightened his grip instead.
âYour Majestyâ
âDonât go away, donât go away from me okay, we will be together until we grow old, I will take care of you foreverâ said LuoXiang with a pair of pitiful eyes and a soft hand caressing BaiYingâs cheek.
BaiYing unconsciously shed tears, whether what was growing in his heart, whether it was the same or not with what the Crown Prince felt for him now, heâs still not sure about it, but the feeling was real, so real that heâs willing to be anything for that man, but, how could this happen? They are not living in a dream world, are they?
As he still hesitated and turned his head to look at the face of the Crown Prince who was so close to him, Luo Xiang straightened his seat and kissed BaiYing on the lips, slowly with his big hands and body turned BaiYingâs body towards him, and grabbed his neck, lifted his chin carefully and kissed the lips again.
âUmph YingYingâ
The night keep rolling, Yan and Bi who were still standing outside in front of the door of BaiYingâs room looked at each other until they both left the room, all the servants came back to their room and rested, after all, Concubine Hua wonât need them now.
.....
Bookk bookk bookk!
BeiYau sat in his chair at the workroom, the Crown Prince was busy attending a meeting at the main palace, while he was assigned to be in front of the Peach pavilion where the class of concubines was taking place that morning. From outside a young guard ran over to him, lowering his body in salute.
âReport Guard Bei! There is news from the Hua familyâs house. â
BeiYau, who was sitting facing the Peach pavilion, on standby with a sword in his hand straightened up his seat, his eyes widened at the news conveyed by the young guard, the Crown Prince had ordered the guards to watch over the Hua familyâs house, waiting for news that might arise, and today comes.
BeiYau glanced across, where the painting class that morning was still taking place, from a quite far distance Bei could still see BaiYingâs face so clearly where he was so serious about taking the painting class with the others, he couldnât leave Concubine Hua, the Crown Princeâs orders is so clear that he shouldnât let his guard down at all, BeiYau grabbed a paper not far on the table beside him and painted something, and gave it to the young guard in front of him.
âGo to the Imperial Palace and pass this paper to His Majesty the Crown Prince, do not say anything, just give him this.â
The young guard bowed his head in salute as he nodded his head quickly.
âYes, Guard Bei!â
