71 Invite All of Them
BeiYau raised his head, thinking.
âEm, I think, official Mao may be speaking the truth, since Iâm young Official Mao has always been a top official, he has absolutely no high ambitions and always tries to hide behind the scenes, several promotions were rejected because he was quite satisfied with the work he was doing which heâs been doing for decades and as much as possible not to interfere too much in politics in the palace, thatâs why Official Mao lives quite simple and has a son-in-law who opens a perfume shop in the center of the city, his children and grandchildren live peacefully without any excessive conflicts.â
The Crown Prince closed the ledger CiaoTi already recorded, which was read and studied by the Crown Prince and sealed by him.
âDo what you think is right Bei, I leave this matter to you, I think itâs also too easy if Official Mao suddenly become suspects, this is too obvious, those people, either think we are too stupid or too smart to come up with the idea of ??trapping the sixth level palace official, they only intend to keep Bei busy.â
BeiYau lowered his head again.
âYour Majesty is wise, I also think it was too easyâ
The Crown Prince still looked at BeiYau who was raising his head, somewhat surprised to meet his lordâs eyes.
âYour Majestyâ he quickly lowered his head back.
âHow are the preparations for tomorrow night?â asked the Crown Prince.
.....
BeiYau raised his head again, he was a bit clumsy, the huge work he was assigned, only how much percent did he do, this mess, he exclaimed in his heart.
âEr thatâ
The Crown Prince stood up from his seat, moved out of his desk, and approached BeiYau.
âItâs a very easy job Bei, compared to you chasing criminals into the depths of the dark and wet forest, how hard is it to make a lantern festival in the Peony garden? Donât forget, everything on YingYingâs list must be readu, I donât need to teach you how to prepare right? â
BeiYau nodded quickly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âReady Your Majesty, I am working on itâ
Crown Prince patted BeiYauâs shoulder and moved out of his workroom, which done for today, BeiYau followed him.
âHey, I wonder what am I going to wear for tomorrow night? It should be the same as YingYing, er, the red clothes that yesterday didnât get to wear, looks like itâs suitable for tomorrowâs festival, really canât waitâ
BeiYau followed LuoXiang out of the Eagle Pavilion and walked through the garden outside.
âBei, donât forget to extend invitations to the Second Prince and His concubines, although I donât really want to invite him too much, the festival needs a lot of people, and donât forget to increase security around the pavilion, assign Guard Pai to standby, we canât be careless even for a sec.â
BeiYau nodded again.
âYess, Your Majestyâ
...
In the Second Princeâs Palace.
Luo Yan opened his eyes wide seeing the invitation scroll from the Crown Prince, it was unusual for his cold brother to invite him, this must have been lightning in broad daylight.
âHemh, lantern festivalâ
His concubine at that time, MeiYan leaned her small waist closer, waved her very fragrant silk handkerchief, and sat right next to the second prince.
The hand with slender fingers picked up the scroll that the Second Prince had opened.
âWow the lantern festival, this must be very fun Your Majesty, I heard that in the city because the festival coincides with the full moon so when we kiss someone under the sky with a full moon then we will be able to live forever with that personâ
Hearing it made Luo Yan open his eyes big, glanced at his very beautiful concubine with a petite face and seductive sparkling red lips.
âIs that true?â
Mei Yan nodded.
âYeah, this is the belief of people who celebrate lantern festivals wherever they are, so apart from making a wish on the lanterns that will be flown into the sky and burnt down, many couples have tried to prove it, I know a few people who did it and in fact indeed they are still together until old age, this is indeed a miracle, Your Majesty.â
The Second Princeâs thoughts drifted far away, he stroked his chin smiling to himself at the image in his head.
âWow, this is very interestingâ in his head, he held concubine Huaâs chin which he missed so much, and kissed her sweet lips right under the moonlight, just thinking about it made him unable to stop his mischievous smile.
His concubine waved her handkerchief against the Second Princeâs chest looking at the Second Prince who had been lost in thought.
âYour Majesty, what is Your Majesty thinking? Your Majesty doesnât think anything naugthy right?â
The Second Prince smiled, his soul back quickly to his body, he pulled MeiYanâs petite body closer to him, the girl pursed her lips in annoyance.
âOwh my sweet concubine, of course thinking that if we kissed under the moon, it must be really great.â
MeiYan patted the Second Princeâs chest who whispered so close in her ear that it tickled her, Luo Yan even bit the edge of her concubineâs earlobe.
âOuch, Your Majesty is so naughtyâ
LuoYan pulled MeiYanâs petite body in his lap.
âIt says here that you are dressed beautifully, but not too much, I donât know what that troublesome little brother meansâ
âYour Majesty, it means that we can wear any clothes like ordinary people, if possible in the same color, erm, how about we wear blue clothes, Your Majesty, or cream like the moonlightâ
âHehehehe why do you have to wear clothes of the same color, how troublesomeâ
âYour Majesty still doesnât understand either, this is also a kind of ritual for a couple who wants their lives to be together forever, clothes of the same color, kissing under the moon, oh how beautifulâ
The Second Prince thought, he thought until he pursed his lips.
âEm Yenâer what are you going to wear?â Just as MeiYan was about to speak again the Second Prince immediately stood up from his seat, headed for the door fast.
âPang!â he cried, MeiYan almost fell as the Prince shifted his body very fast.
âYour Honour!â she cried running after the Second Prince out of his dugout.
The Second Prince was busy summoning his personal guard, Pang, who rushed in with his fat body swaying as he ran.
âYes, Your Majesty!â
Donât know what the second Prince was whispering but it certainly made Pang open his eyes wide.
âB-but Your Majestyâ
The second prince patted the arm of his personal guard.
âThere are no buts, go there and investigate.â
Pang still hesitated to move, the Second Princeâs request could be said to be a very impossible and dangerous mission ever.
âBut Your Majesty, if I get caught, they can eat me aliveâ
âSo?â Asked the Second Prince.
Guard Pang can only swallow hard.
âEh.â But noway he dare to questioned the Princeâs request.
