Chapter 75: Chapter 75

75 Under The Moon

The Emperor smiled at YueWang.

“Hehehe old man Yue, you can see for yourself that kid’s attitude, he is indeed very stubborn, I think his words are also true, we better make an appointment first if we want to meet each other, including you old man Yue, you suddenly meet me tonight, I thought what’s so important hehehe”

YueWang lowered his body, his old body looked frail and difficult to get up to the point where the Emperor’s personal attendant had to help him.

“Please forgive this servant, Your Majesty, this servant is old, if I don’t tell Your Majesty immediately, I am afraid that I might forget, Your Majesty knows that I am almost senile.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The emperor chuckled at the old man’s words.

“Hehehehe yes, but I’m interested in your idea, opening a trade route on the south of the border might be profitable for the city during a failed crops like this, and even though it’s a bit risky because everyone including bandits could enter but we can add guards over there, even though the path was impassable because it was covered in flood mud but a few days of work might be able to open the road successfully, hmm”

“Your Majesty, I am willing if Your Majesty sends me there, this matter is very important, of course, it takes special supervision.”

The Emperor stroked his chin.

“Yeah, I think this could also be an opportunity for the Crown Prince to gain experience, but that Xiang’er, does he want to leave the palace, don’t mention to go that far, I’ll just call him here and look at those eyes, he’s ready to pounce on me.”

.....

YueWang chuckled.

“Hehehe His Majesty the Crown Prince is in love, I think it’s very natural Your Majesty”

The Emperor glanced at YueWang.

“Oh yeah? Old man Yue can also see it too, those eyes, very passionate, never seen that brat’s eyes like that, he really is in love, I think his little concubine does indeed work wonders to melt a very hard rock”

Both then laughed.

“Hehehehe congratulations Your Majesty”

“Congratulations for what, old man Yue should have said that to the Crown Prince earlier”

...

The full moon that night was so round and big, the shape was perfect, with light that made the sky around look brighter, the wind was blowing lightly, this was indeed a very suitable time to fly the lanterns, seen in the distance, the various shape lanterns were slowly rising upwards the sky, it’s time for BaiYing’s and others’ lanterns to be flown too.

BaiYing and his maid standing in front of the lotus pond lit a fire inside their lanterns, the fire emitting heat will make the paper lanterns so light so it can fly upwards, Yan and Bi can’t wait to fly their lanterns, YoTang also looks very excited, Concubine Lui, Concubine Fu, and Concubine Ye also lined up beside BaiYing and prepared to take off the lanterns in their hands at the same time.

BaiYing was holding two lanterns, one belonging to him and one belonging to that stupid Crown Prince who was deliberately running away, what a pain in the ass, BaiYing thought. One by one people started to take off the lanterns, including Yan and Bi who were standing next to BaiYing, both of them glanced at BaiYing who was unsure whether to take off the lanterns or not.

“Wow, that’s high!” Exclaimed Fan’er, her lantern, Lan’er’s, and Mu’er’s flew instantly as they let go of their grip, the three of them so excited.

“It’s mine sis, you see? it’s getting higher so fast” Mu’er exclaimed.

BaiYing was about to let go of his lantern and raised both hands intending to release his grip at the same time, but, just before he opened his grip, someone appeared from behind him holding his hand.

“I told you to wait for me” the Crown Prince’s voice, BaiYing tilted his head, the face of the Crown Prince, who was already standing behind him, grabbed BaiYing’s hand which held his lantern, he took the lantern from BaiYing and stood beside him, smiling at the sight of the young man’s frowning face.

“Come on, let’s fly it together.”

BaiYing swallowed hard, that person always came suddenly like a ghost.

Didn’t take long, their two lanterns, he’s and the Crown Prince’s had flown into the sky mingling with others, the sky that was only dark earlier looked bright and beautiful with many paper lanterns rising into the sky. BaiYing smiled widely at how beautiful the night sky was, as if seeing a real festival in the middle of the city, and he again made fond memories of his own annual lantern festival that year. But, this time he might not be alone, someone was already holding his hand tightly.

“YingYing, how are you feeling? Did this festival impress you? Moreover, this year you celebrate it with me”

The Crown Prince pulled BaiYing’s waist against him, seeing Yan and Bi, as well as several others, were moving away from the bridge, although the concubines were still irritated but apparently they had no other choice but to step aside, the three of them could irritate to death at the sight there.

BaiYing tried to push the Crown Prince’s body away from him, but how could he?

His hands, one hand holding his waist, the other holding his cheek, two wide palms preventing him from escaping, the Crown Prince lifted BaiYing’s chin, BaiYing held the man’s chin as he was about to kiss his lips.

“Eh Y-Your Majesty, there are many people here” he whispered.

The Crown Prince smirked.

“Well then, so what if there are many people? Just let them see”

BaiYing stuttered, that shameless person, in front of so many people he didn’t hesitate to touch him, his hands were really itchy.

“But Your Majesty”

“YingYing doesn’t want anyone to see? What if I blind everyone’s eyes so no one will see us?.”

BaiYing pursed his lips, it was again, the Crown Prince’s terrible words, he couldn’t believe whether the words were true what came from his heart or he was just playing it on a whim.

“Your Majesty.”

The Crown Prince pulled his lips into a smile, he pulled BaiYing’s chin closer to him again, held his small chin with his big hand as gently as he could, and kissed those sweet lips.

“Chupp”

Right under the big round moon above their heads, in front of the rows of beautifully lit lanterns, the Crown Prince kissed BaiYing’s lips with all his heart.

BaiYing’s hand, held the Crown Prince’s huge chin, his gigantic firm jaw that couldn’t even be covered by his extremely small palm. He admitted, he could feel what the Crown Prince has in his eyes now, he would be very stupid if he didn’t know, but, is that possible? Was that possible for him and the Crown Prince?

Yan and Bi, who were looking through the trees couldn’t stop smiling, both couldn’t hide their excitement seeing how romantic the kiss scene was under the huge moon above their heads, did this mean that their love would last forever? Seeing that, the two loyal servants looked at each other and almost burst into tears.

“Oh Consort Hua”

YoTang also watched, even though he didn’t really like BaiYing’s original idea, of ??becoming a concubine in his sister’s place, but seeing what was happening before his eyes at that time, he probably couldn’t help but agree, the Crown Prince seemed to really care about BaiYing, more than he thought, maybe, love is blind, they can touch anyone, and YoTang couldn’t be happier to see BaiYing’s happy face in the midst of losing his whole family recently.
