682 His Life All This Time
Bai Yen looked at her Mother with big round eyes.
âThat useless Yi Fang, how can Mother compare him with His Highness the Crown Prince, Mother and Father indeed playing favorites.â
The twoâs little quarrel made Bai Ying smile, just like what he always remembered. He turned his head when he felt someone holding his palm, the Crown Prince who was smiling at him.
âYing Ying, letâs sit down, you might fall from standing for too longâ
Bai Ying nodded. He was so happy that he forgot that his body was still very weak and couldnât even stand up for too long. With the Crown Princeâs help, he headed to the seat beside him and sat down.
âYes, Your Majestyâ
Luo Xiang smoothed Bai Yingâs front messy hair because he was in too much of a rush earlier. His hand gently stroked his cheek and wiped away the remaining tears.
âYou still have a fever, how about we go back to the room, your father and mother will stay in the palace for the next two days, you still have plenty of time with themâ Luo Xiang whispered holding Bai Yingâs hand tightly and squeezing it.
Bai Ying nodded. He held the Crown Princeâs hand holding his cheek.
.....
âYes, Your Majestyâ
San Niang couldnât help but smile seeing Bai Yingâs shining face, in contrast to Bai Yen who looked at him with cynical eyes.
âYou little rascal, how can you take chances like that, hehâ
Luo Xiang took Bai Yingâs hand towards the door, just as the guard at the door called out.
âHis Highness the Great King has arrived!â he exclaimed.
The sound clearly stopped the Crown Prince and Bai Ying in their tracks, as well as made everyone in the room stand up to greet the person who appeared from behind the gates of Plum Villa.
Bai Ying and the Crown Prince stood by the door, waiting for someone who entered from the gate. A person dressed in magnificent clothes, purple, and gold in color, made of high-quality materials with a combination of gold and silver threads, decorated with many Wah Ye gemstones floating along when he moved. Bai Yingâs eyes widened, that, his great grandfather, Wu Yi, the Great King of Xin Hua?
âGr-grandfather?â
A tall man, with hair that was almost all white with gray hair, looked very handsome, healthy, with a shining face, smiling so beautifully behind the soft morning sun. Great Monarch Xin Hua, Wu Yi was now stopped right in front of Bai Ying, who was still stunned in his place.
Luo Xiang lowered his head to greet the old man.
âYour Majestyâ
Wu Yi chuckled and saw Bai Ying and Luo Xiang in return.
âHehehe young people are very excited. Ying er, grandpa heard that you are still unwell, why are you even here? Grandfather just about to visit you in your roomâ said the man looking at Bai Ying who was looking at him with big eyes.
âUh, grandpa?â he asked.
Wu Yi nodded.
âHehehe yeah, of course, itâs grandpa, Your Highness the Crown Prince, what did the healer say? Why does this child still look so pale? Didnât you say it was just food poisoning? Has the greatest healer in the palace been brought in? Whereâs Du Gu San? Why didnât he cure him with his greatest medicines? That person wants to be fired apparently:â
Bai Ying couldnât believe what he was seeing right now in front of his eyes. His great-grandfather, Wu Yi, his parents, and even his elder sister. Everything is spinning in his head, what happens to memory? Luo Xiang held Bai Yingâs shoulder when he saw the young man staggering.
âWhat ...happenedâ he mumble.
âYing Ying, are you okay?â and sure enough, the young man suddenly fell limp in front of him.
âYing Ying!â he catch the kid at the right time and hugged him tightly.
âOh this kidâ
....
The sound of the water from the fish pond in the courtyard beside Plumâs villa is so pleasant to hear, like a lullaby for anyone who sits quietly enjoying the atmosphere.
At the green parks where the rabbit runs freely behind the low fence.
âHey donât run away. ooh why are you guys so cuteâ
The sun was so bright as Bai Ying smiled widely then. His eyes shone sparks with lots of beautiful colorful lights as if laughing with him. He was holding some little bunnies that were playing happily around him. Lifted the smallest one onto his head and rubbed his nose against the rabbitâs red nose. While some had fled to their cages and gone into hiding, it seemed that they were all overwhelmed by Bai Yingâs excessive affection.
âHey donât run, you guys are so naughtyâ
Not long after that. An exhausted Bai Ying takes a rest by sitting on the terrace near the fish pond. Swinging his legs very calmly with a fresh shining face and looking at the surrounding scenery with a broad smile. The beautiful sky, with its beautiful blue color and white fluffy clouds moving slowly carried by the blowing wind, the wind that touch his hair flew far behind him.
Bai Ying looks happy as if all the burden on his shoulder is lifted little by little. He hasnât had this feeling for so long, it feels, so relieved.
âHehâ he took a very deep breath and blow it as much as he can, and the pressure on his chest slowly reduce, lots of them.
The Crown Prince approached from behind. Put on a warm coat covering Bai Yingâs back.
âHey, what are you doing sitting here windy, are you feeling better?â asked the Crown Prince. He shifted Bai Yingâs shoulder closer to him, hugging him tightly.
Bai Ying smiled to his eyes disappeared. He nodded and touched his own forehead.
âIâm fine, Your Highness, look, my fever is almost gone.â
Luo Xiang smiled. He stroked Bai Yingâs hair tucking it behind his back.
âStill, you canât sit for too long outside like this, what if you have a fever again?â
Bai Ying took the Crown Princeâs hand and clasped it between his two palms.
âI would be too much worried about that because Your Majesty is hereâ
Luo Xiang flicked Bai Yingâs forehead playfully.
âOh, this kid, do you want to get sick all the time? Donât you know how many people are worried about you?â
Bai Ying chuckled.
âHehehe, Forgive me, Your Highness, I wonât be sick anymore, but, by the way, why hasnât Ying er seen brother and the others since yesterday? Guard Bei too, did Your Highness send him on assignment elsewhere?â he asked.
Luo Xiang slightly widened his eyes, as if somewhat surprised by Bai Yingâs question, but he tried to remain calm.
âEr, guard Bei, he is here, of course, he will always be wherever I am, it just recently he has been busy training in the valley and will be back when it gets dark. You were already sleeping and didnât see him.â
Bai Ying puffed out his mouth as he nodded.
âOooh, I see. They must be so busy and have no time to see me, right?â
Luo Xiang nodded.
âI think they are. How if tomorrow Brother will ask them to come to see you?â
Bai Ying pursed his mouth, he shook his head.
âUm, thereâs no need, Your Majesty, if they are busy itâs okay, itâs not that important either.â
Luo Xiang stroked Bai Yingâs hair and patted his crown.
âWhat is not important, everything that my little concubine wants is of course a very important thing. Em, how about now, we go in and eat, even though youâre feeling better but you still have to take your medicine. I donât want you to get sick againâ
Bai Ying nodded.
âYes, Your Majestyâ
And let Luo Xiang hold his hand to help him up from his seat. But Bai Ying staggered slightly, apparently, his legs were a little bit numb from sitting there too much. He held the Crown Princeâs hand tightly.
âAh Your Highness, my feet are tinglingâ
Luo Xiang held Bai Yingâs hand tightly and lowered his body to check his feet, but his touch made Bai Ying groan.
âAhâ
Luo Xiang saw Bai Ying for a moment, then lowered his body and grabbed Bai Yingâs two legs, carrying him.
âY-Your Highnessâ Bai Ying was surprised. Didnât expect the man to do it, he would never carry him from the front if it wasnât for the fact that he was injured in the past. This, was quite fun too, thought Bai Ying who couldnât hide his face from turning red from embarrassment, the Crown Prince is too close.
âYour Majestyâ
Luo Xiang smiled mischievously. Looking at Bai Yingâs sweet face which was getting even cuter as he blushed. He carried him into the villa.
âCome on, my very charming and adorable Xiao Ying, letâs go inside, do you need me to help you to sleep tonight?â
âYour Highness, what does it mean to help me to sleep?â asked Bai Ying innocently.
Luo Xiang stopped his steps as soon as he entered the door, looking at Bai Ying who was looking at him with a pair of big round eyes.
âHey, does that need to be explained again, my dearâ
Bai Ying buried his head, embarrassed by the Crown Princeâs mischievous gaze on him.
âYour Majestyâ
