BaiYing smiled seeing his own painting, didnât know what to say, itâs not so good and even looks messy, such a lousy, his never too good at using his hands in everything, while their teacher that day, an unpretentious young man walked around looking at the results of each concubineâs paintings, a young man who may be in his early thirties, lowered his body to examine Muâerâs painting, he smiled at her beautiful painting.
BaiYing pursed his lips, if only the Crown Prince could open his eyes widely, he might have so much more interested in Muâer, if it compares to him, she was so good at everything, flower arrangement, good at a musical instrument, calligraphy, and painted too, that little girl was almost perfect.
BaiYing sighed, with his hand on his chin, apparently, his troubled face attracted the teacher to approach and examine his painting.
âEm Your Highness Concubine Hua, your painting is also very attractiveâ
Interesting? Why donât you just say it ugly, is it really necessary to say something nice but it turned out to be lying?
BaiYing raised his brush on the paper, was about to continue his painting but the young teacher handheld his hand, which BaiYing didnât expect.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âForgive me Your Majesty, but how you hold the brush is a bit incorrect, let me guide you.â
.....
BaiYing did not move and let the young teacher touch his hand, showing the correct way to hold the brush. From his face it seemed that the teacher looked pleased standing behind BaiYing back, seeing through his neck as if he hugged him from behind, insolent! That teacher was so brave, he thought he was too handsome that the other concubines didnât mind his treatment by touching them here and there, this was called sexual harassment, they might be okay with it, but BaiYing couldnât bear to hit him in the stomach, but, as he ready to do so someone else with a murderous gaze might be ready to cut the teacherâs neck.
âAhem!â
BeiYau with his dark looking eyes already standing behind the teacher, immediately the young man straightened up, turned his body to see Beiyau whoâs ready to swallow him up, glanced with big eyes at the teacherâs hand that had been touching BaiYing here and there, did that person want to lose his head?
âEh hi Guard Beiâ
BeiYau approached, with his hands pushing the teacherâs body back off.
âPlease keep your distanceâ
BaiYing looked up at him and refrain from laughing, BeiYauâs face at that time was like a father-in-law whoâs so angry when his daughter was being touched.
BeiYau lowered his head in front of BaiYing.
âForgive me Your Majesty, but there is an important matter that happens, can Your Majesty back to the Pavilion with me?â
BaiYing frowned, what matter is so important? Makes that bodyguard entered his class, he glanced at the other concubines who saw him with high eyebrows, especially concubine Lui.
âEm, but I still have a class, master Bei.â
BeiYau did not flinch, he just waited until BaiYing lowered his brush.
âHahh seriously?â
.........
At the Imperial Palace.
A very important matter at that time, the meeting with the new Palace Advisor, old acquaintance YueWang, who had already conveyed his work agenda to the Emperor and the Minister of State Support, at that time the Crown Prince could only listen, all who gave approval or not was the Emperor himself. Although some sound a little less convincing but LuoXiang thinks it is still in a reasonable stage, he will only protest if the advisory work agenda for Peopleâs affairs that day has touched on LuoXiangâs dislikes.
The state adviser was in charge of presenting several work agendas, to be submitted to the Emperor on how to carry out his duties better through the updated regulations and all the problems and solutions, that day the Minister of State Affairs was the most highlighted because lately due to the uneven economic development of the YueYang people, thereâs still many of citizens who still living below the poverty line, especially near the border due to crop failure and bad air, this also makes some crime rates automatically increase, LuoXiang thinks this is very important, and it turns out that the idea conveyed to his father, it occurred to the state advisor who was presenting it to the ministers, this was not so bad.
When the Crown Prince listened so seriously, from the back near the door a Crown Princeâs guard approached, his head immediately raised because he recognized the young guard who approached him directly, the special guards had more authority than the other palace guards to approach the Crown Prince wherever and whenever there was if thereâs any important news, the young guard lowered his head while thrusting a fold of paper in front of the Crown Prince.
âGreeting Your Excellencyâ
On the Advisory side, YueWang glanced secretly at the Crown Prince and saw what the guard was thrust into the hands of the Crown Prince, his personal adviser Eunuch Sheng, who was standing beside him approached when he noticed YueWangâs gentle handâs wave, that fat man nodded, then donât knows what he was ordered to his men behind him who dismiss themselves right away.
......
The sound of the flowing water in the fish pond behind the pavilion became BaiYingâs entertainment that afternoon, he was very bored, he should have planned to go to the valley today with the Crown Prince as he returned from the palace, but up until now the Crown Prince has not arrived, so what is he going to do now?
Yan and Bi approached BaiYing who was sitting absentmindedly, the two of them stopped behind him.
âYour Majesty, what do you thinking of?â asked Yan.
âYes, Your Majesty, why are you daydreaming? Em, letâs go to the garden and see the flowers,â suggested Bi.
BaiYing turned his seat towards the two maids who immediately lowered their bodies and sat in front of him.
For a while, BaiYing glanced at the two maids, he had a lot to say, but according to the Crown Prince it might not be the time now, it just, he couldnât deceive himself anymore, let alone the two young girls in front of him, who had always served him wholeheartedly, he was sick at the thought that he had tricked them.
âEm, sister Yan, sister Bi, will you guys forgive me? if I make a very big mistake?â he asked, the two maids turned to each other, frowning at BaiYingâs questions at that time.
âWhat do you mean, Your Majesty?â asked Bi
âWell, if I make a mistake, a very big one that might make me lose my lifeâ
Hearing that, the two maids cover their mouths, opening their eyes wide, and lowering their heads deeps to the floor.
âPlease, Your Majesty, donât talk like thatâ
âYes Your Majesty, whatever Your Majesty did, there must be a reason for it, please donât scare us, Your Majestyâ
BaiYing pulled his lips, turned his gaze far ahead to a small fish pond with lots of colorful fish in front of them who swim lively and make the water gurgles.
BaiYing took a deep breath.
âHeh, actually I ...â
Before BaiYing spoke, the two servants lowered their heads again, stopping his words.
âWe already know Your Majesty,â both said simultaneously.
BaiYing turned his head, looked at the two maids with wide eyes.
âW what do you mean, you guys already know?â
