638 Picnic
The Crown Princeâs words made Princess Wu Lan widen her eyes. She swallowed her saliva whole and nodded as the Crown Prince clenched his two hands in front of his head to excuse himself from going.
âThen I wonât bother you any longer, I have an appointment to have a picnic with Ying Ying this afternoon, may I excuse myself, Princessâ
âYes, your majesty pleaseâ
Luo Xiang stood up and walked straight towards the front yard to exit the villa area. Princess Wu Lan had time to stretch her neck to see if the young man had left the residence or not. After making sure he was gone, Princess Wu Lan waved her hand at Me Ma who was standing not far behind her.
âMe Ma, quickly summon the old adviser and other ministers, and ask them to gather in the study as soon as possible, we must work quickly. His Majesty has given his permissionâ
Me Ma nodded.
âYes, Princessâ
....
Bai Ying opened his mouth wide to accept the grapes from the Crown Princeâs hand. The two of them sat on a wide cloth spread on the soft grass under a large, shady tree. Enjoy the warm air and gentle breeze accompanied by lots of snacks around them. As usual, there were also Yan and Bi sitting not far from the two of them enjoying the picnic that Bai Ying loved.
.....
While chewing Bai Ying looked at the Crown Prince with big eyes, almost forgetting what he was going to ask in the first place. He quickly swallowed the food in his mouth.
âEm Your Majesty, did Your Majesty go to grandmaâs place? Why donât you take me with you? I also want to talk to grandma. Em, what is Your Highness talking about?â he asked.
The Crown Prince seemed to be enjoying his picnic at that time. With a half-seat position in front of Bai Ying even then turned his body and lowered his head on Bai Yingâs lap.
âEmh, this is so comfortable, the view is very beautiful from here,â said the Crown Prince who could see Bai Yingâs face to his heartâs content.
Bai Ying looked around, the valley behind the palace, itâs cool and calm with so many beautiful plants growing wild there was indeed very beautiful. Not to mention the several small animals ranging from rabbits to pheasants passing here and there making this place like heaven, so beautiful.
âYes, this is indeed a very beautiful place, Your Highness, this will be my favourite spot to have a picnic with Your Highness.â
Luo Xiang smiled amusedly, of course, it is very beautiful, Bai Yingâs flawless face is like a warm sun and a cool breeze that soothes his soul, itâs more than heaven.
âHehe, does my Ying Ying want to build a small pavilion here? So we can enjoy the atmosphere longer without fear of heat or rain?â asked Luo Xiang.
Bai Ying thought then he shook his head.
âItâs best not to change what it is, Your Majesty, this is quite nice, moreover, sitting under a tree like this, hemm, this is so funâ
Luo Xiang grabbed Bai Yingâs long hair that fell on his face, and kissed it.
âMy concubineâs hair smells good.â
Bai Ying was amused as the Crown Princeâs hand moved to grab his waist.
âYour Highness, stop itâ
Luo Xiang couldnât hold back. His hands could not stay still and always find a way to touch every inch of his beloved concubineâs body.
âHeheheâ
Bai Ying puffed out his mouth, realizing that the Crown Prince had not answered his questions earlier instead he kept teasing him.
âYour Highness, what was Your Highness talking with grandma during that very long time? I thought you going to miss our picnic.â
Luo Xiang finally got up from Bai Yingâs lap, for a moment saw Bai Yingâs adorable face staring at him with piercing eyes, he looked so cute that Luo Xiang couldnât help but smile.
âHeheâ
âYour Highness, donât just laugh, if Your Highness doesnât speak I will become even more curiousâ
Luo Xiang took Bai Yingâs hand and patted it. Picked it up and kissed it.
âChupâ
âEm, not much, just about the competition that will be held in two days from now, right now the palace must be very busy.â
The Crown Princeâs words made Bai Yingâs eyes widen in surprise.
âTwo days? Your Highness means, which competition?â he asked.
âWell, what else, the Concubine selectionâ
Bai Ying was still shocked, almost couldnât believe what he heard, his mouth was still gaping wide didnât know what to say. The Crown Prince who was idle then came forward and kissed his lips to wake him up from his reverie.
âChupâ
Which actually made Bai Ying even more surprised.
âYour Majesty!
The Crown Prince laughed, not expecting Bai Yingâs reaction to being so adorable that he couldnât help himself.
âHahaha pardon me, my Ying Ying, but those lips are so seductive, how can I hold myself being around you any longer?â
Bai Ying stared at the Crown Prince sharply.
âYour Highness, does this mean Your Highness will agree that Grandma finds a concubine for me? Does this mean, His Majesty has resigned himself to that decision? What, does this mean, His Highness no longer loves Ying er?â Bai Yingâs continuous questioning was accompanied by his eyes starting to water almost to tears.
Luo Xiang pulled his lips, looking at the young man in front of him who suddenly blushed with emotion.
âWhat are you talking about?â he asked.
Bai Ying pulled his hand from the Crown Prince and sat with his back on him. He wiped his tears.
âHuks, Your Highness must be bored because of Ying erâs nagging, so Your Highness decided to give Ying er to someone else, right Your Highness?â
Luo Xiang rolled his eyes. What does the boy have in his mind now?
âWell, actually itâs true, Ying Ying is always nagging, eats a lot, complains a lot, crybaby, hemâ
The Crown Princeâs words made Bai Ying even sadder so that his voice trembled.
âYour Highnessâ
Luo Xiang wanted to keep teasing him, the boy was indeed very cute, but how could he see him crying? The young man finally pulled Bai Yingâs body up against him.
âWell it canât be helped, who told this Crown Prince to love you to death, so all of that feels so beautiful because of my Ying Yingâ
Bai Ying looked behind him, and right in front of his eyes the Crown Prince who was so close.
Luo Xiang swallowed his saliva whole. Even after a long time, his heart was still beating very fast when Bai Yingâs pair of big round eyes look at him with shady eyes. He held Bai Yingâs chin lifted it and kissed him on the lips.
âChupâ
Shifted Bai Yingâs body to face him and hugged him, continuing his sweet kiss.
Bai Ying raised his hand to hold the cheek of the Crown Prince who couldnât stop kissing him. Until Luo Xiang raised his head, looked at Bai Yingâs gentle face and stroked his hair.
âHow is it possible, the Crown Prince to let other people touch you, just an inch, I will cut off their hands because they dare to lay their hands on you. Forever, Hua Bai Ying belongs to the Crown Prince alone, since birth, on your forehead it has been written that you are mine alone, only the Crown Princeâs.â
Bai Ying smiled, unable to hide the joy that was so visible in his eyes.
âSo His Highness said that to grandma? But, why did grandma still organize the competition? Does Your Highness want to take your words back later in the competition? When those people have come from all over the place though. Grandmother said the invitations were not only distributed to the tribal chiefs, but also to neighbouring countries. Ying er didnât know how many there would be but according to Old Man Pai so far there were around thirty heads of state and tribes who had sent gifts. They havenât even met Ying er, how come these people are so excited?â
âWell, just let them come, otherwise, theyâll always be curious about what the new Viceroy of Xin Hua will look like.â
Bai Ying pursed his lips, he didnât really understand what the Crown Princeâs words mean.
âEr, Your Highness, then Your Highness will face all of them? Even the women too?â he asked.
The Crown Prince pursed his mouth, he shook his head.
âNo, who is going to fight them? I donât need to, all the princesses will naturally withdraw.â
Bai Ying scratched his head, still confused by the Crown Princeâs words.
âYour Majesty, but, how?â
Luo Xiang pulled Bai Yingâs body close to him, kissing him on his crown.
âFor now itâs better if we donât have to think about it first. Itâs a sunny day, how about we enjoy our precious time here, without thinking about unimportant matters that will spoil the mood?â
Bai Ying dropped his head on the Crown Princeâs broad chest, looking at the beautiful scenery spread out before them. The wind gently stroked the two long hair that fluttered far away.
âYour Highness look at that bird, the colour is so beautiful, they are flying side by side, so cuteâ
Luo Xiang just kept hugging Bai Ying and didnât feel moved by any of the beautiful eyes in front of him, because the most beautiful in his eyes, was Hua Bai Ying, his little concubine seductive.
âYeah right, very beautiful indeedâ
