669 Jealous
The man looked at Luo Xiang with his sharp eyes. As if showing a level of power that was much higher than Luo Xiang though.
Luo Wang put the teacup back on the saucer, rolled up his sleeves and lifted the teapot to refill his cup as well as Luo Xiangâs.
âPlease, Young Masterâ
Luo Xiang nodded.
âThank you, Young Masterâ
Luo Wang smiled.
âHey, strange, we have the same surname, I almost didnât know that in Yue Yang palace there were also officials surnamed Luo, although there are some people I know who were no longer palace officials when I was very young,â said Luo Wang.
Luo Xiang raised his teacup while thinking. Of course, thatâs because they have the same surname.
âPlease Young Master,â said Luo Xiang raising his teacup and enjoying it together.
.....
âThat Young Master Hua, he is very attractive, do you guys really siblings?â he asked.
Luo Xiang lowered his cup. Why did the man suddenly bring up Bai Ying? Luo Xiang put the cup slowly back on the saucer.
âThatâs right, we are cousins. Did something catch your attention? Why suddenly mention my brotherâs name here?â he asked.
Luo Wang smiled. Luo Xiang recognized that smile. He knows why all generations of men in the Luo family are so womanizing, including the man in front of him now. He couldnât deny that Bai Yingâs face was indeed very eye-catching, but was this person not wrong? He already has Yen Hui by his side.
âHey, the problem is, somehow since the first time I met him, I canât get rid of your brotherâs face, every time I close my eyes his very attractive face appears. Every time, until now, then, Young Master, do you mind if I intend to get closer to Young Master Hua?â he asked.
Luo Xiang almost broke the ceramic cup that was still in his hand in annoyance. Shameless man, he did it blatantly. But once again Luo Xiang tried to stay calm. He rolled up his sleeves and it was his turn to pour the tea from the teapot into Luo Wangâs empty cup and his own.
âHey, that, âs absolutely impossible Young Master, I mean, Prince, that younger brother is very mischievous, he is also very spoiled, eats a lot and often whimpers from exhaustion when walking too far. He is also like a rabbit whose cheeks can puff up when he eats too much, Iâm sure, Prince will not like him if you know his true nature. Youâll be disappointed,â insolent, cursed Luo Xiang inwardly, he even had to badmouth Bai Ying, his love, in front of a stranger who openly admitted his interest in him. Thatâs so impudent.
Luo Wang laughed.
âHahaha, thatâs so adorable, thatâs how the kid really is. Thatâs what might make him so adorable, well, heâs very cuteâ
And even after badmouthing Bai Ying in front of that man, the young man still found it funny, did he really like Bai Ying already? How dare he?
âAhemâ
While on the second floor at the balcony facing out the brothel. Bai Ying, Chen Ming, also Yen Hui, and Xiao Hong with Song Ma Yi and young man Wang sat together enjoying the night view of Pai Hua city. Coincidentally, from the balcony of the second floor, they could enjoy some fireworks display that was being held by the shop in front of the alley which had just had its official opening that day.
âLook at that one that just rose, the colour is really good Your Highnessâ cried Bai Ying who was standing at the far side with Yen Hui.
Chen Ming only glanced, he didnât really like that kind of crowd, but not Bai Ying who was very excited to see all that with a pair of big round eyes. And it turns out that he is not alone, Yen Hui is just as excited as he is.
âYeah that was greatâ
âOh yeah, Your Highness, what is your relationship with His Highness the Prince of Luo Wang? When did you guys meet? Looks like you two are really closeâ asked Bai Ying while enjoying the beef jerky in his hand. And it turned out that Yen Hui liked the beef jerky too, they really were like one person sliced ??in half.
Yen Hui smiled.
âHehe, brother Luo is very kind, we met three years ago when the palace held a head guard competition. Since then Brother Luo often came to visit. Of course, we are very closeâ
âOh yeah? So how did you meet this time? Didnât Your Highness run away from the palace?â asked Bai Ying, he was quite curious about everything that happened, not leaving even a single question for himself. However, their mission comes into this world is to find out what Yen Huiâs life is really like, more or less like that.
Yen Hui frowned in thought.
âUm, yeah, thatâs also a coincidence. That day I sneaked out of the palace and had time to walk alone in the city avoiding the palace soldiers. And previously we promised each other that if there were any problems we would meet outside the palace, in this place, and the second day I was in the brothel, brother Luo came.â
Bai Ying widened his eyes.
âHere? How strange, what exactly made you meet in a place like this? Venerable The Cro⦠er, I mean, Brother Xiang Xiang is also weird, why do we have to stay here, although Ying er likes crowds, brother forbids me to come down, how can we enjoy the crowds at this rate?â
Yen Hui took a bite of the beef jerky and chewed it. The two youths ate in the same way, they already resembled a family of rabbits competing to chew food with round cheeks.
The Young Prince nodded.
âErm, itâs actually not a coincidence, brother Luo and I have known Mrs Mo since two years ago. Formerly Mrs Mo was one of the restaurantâs maids who married a crook who eventually sold her to a brothel in the small town of Sui An which is at the bottom of the hill. Because of Mrs Moâs flexible nature, she managed to survive by marrying the brothelâs old owner until he pass away from old age. Not long after that, due to one reason or another, her Brothel was burnt to the ground, Mrs Mo and some of her men had to migrate to Pai Hua City and we met halfway. Brother Luo is very generous, even though they donât know each other but he gave so much money to Mrs Mo to buy a brothel in downtown Pai Hua. Since then Mrs Mo will always set aside her money to pay off her debt to Brother Luo, even though Brother Luo has said that she doesnât need to pay him back.â
Bai Ying puffed out his mouth.
âOh thatâs right, His Highness Prince Luo is very kind, he deserves to be an Emperor who is highly respected everywhereâ
Yen Hui turned to listen to Bai Yingâs words, he narrowed his eyes.
âBecome Emperor? Brother Luo?â he asked.
Bai Ying almost let it slip, of course, currently, Prince Luo Wang was even just a Prince because the current Emperor had not yet determined who would occupy the position of Crown Prince. He scratched his head.
âUm, yeah, isnât that whatâs going to happen? I mean, if Prince Luo Wang were to become Emperor, thatâs what I meantâ
Ye Hui nodded. Although it was a bit strange with Bai Yingâs words.
âYeah, well, brother Luo should be able to become Emperor, he has high martial arts abilities, smart, wise and kind. In the future, if he really becomes the Emperor, this country will definitely become very prosperous and powerful.â
Bai Ying nodded.
âYeah, thatâs the point. Em then, Your Highness, what, in the future, Your Highness will also become his concubine?â
Bai Yingâs question made Yen Hui raise his head, slightly surprised to the point of widening his eyes.
âConcubine, whose concubine?â he asked.
Bai Ying smiled shyly, he himself seemed embarrassed to ask about that.
âEr, well, who else, of course, His Highness Prince Luo Wangâ Bai Ying continued his words somewhat haltingly.
Yen Hui looked at Bai Ying for a moment, the innocent young man tried to paraphrase the words of the young man in front of him, until he lowered his head in shame.
âEh, hehe, that, how could it possibly happen? Brother Luo canât possibly like me in that way, I think you misunderstood, Young Master Huaâ
âReally? So, you guys, arenât lovers, are you?â Bai Ying whispered, of course making Yen Hui blush even more so she didnât dare to meet his eyes.
âHehe Young master Hua what are you saying?â Bai Ying was pleased to see Yen Huiâs blushing face, their relationship wasnât just ordinary, isnât it?
Chen Ming pulled his lips. He was a bit jealous seeing that his beloved little brother was so close to someone other than himself and that rotten Crown Prince. He shifted his position and stood between the two youths from different generations who really looked alike. Since earlier the two had been talking without inviting anyone else to join in on their secret talks.
âBrother, what do you see? The fireworks? Whatâs so good about it, itâs so-so, compared to Xin... uh, I mean in our city,â Chen Ming said, he forgot that this was actually the same city.
