Chapter 113
113 BeWitched
The next day.
In the back garden of Plum Pavilion, BaiYing sat with his two maids enjoying the morning sun, his head on his chin, and took several deep breaths.
“Heh”
Yan and Bi glanced at each other, asking each other what made Concubine Hua wake up so early and sit with such a frown on his face.
He didn’t even back to his room after last night’s incident and slept on one of the beds in the maid’s mess which made the two maids awkward, while the Crown Prince tired coaxed him and back into his own pavilion and probably headed straight to his work that morning, and princess aYa, that culprit was probably still sleeping soundly in her room.
“Eh Your Majesty, em, Yan and I thought, that, last night Your Majesty was too harsh on the Crown Prince,” Bi said, BaiYing raised his head, looked at Bi, and then Yan agreed.
“That’s right Your Majesty, Your Majesty’s better not to be too angry with him, in our opinion, the fault is not His Highness the Crown Prince, but, eh” Yan glanced at the mansion before continuing her speech, lest the princess suddenly appears while they were talking about her.
“Your Majesty knows who it is.”
BaiYing held his breath for a while, he lowered his hand from his chin while taking a deep breath, he also knew that, but what could he do.
.....
“Heh, then, What should we do?”
Yan and Bi glanced at each other, both smiling because maybe what they were thinking was the same.
“Hey, what if...”
....
Night came, all day BaiYing and his two maids didn’t go anywhere and spent the day at Plum Pavilion doing their activities, the Crown Prince had come again and enjoyed dinner together.
“This, Your Majesty, your favorite,” said BaiYing, pinching a piece of fish not far in front of him, at the usual round table the two of them ate together at the same time there were other people, who were no other than Princess aYa.
The Crown Prince passed the vegetables into BaiYing’s bowl.
“Here, you have to eat lots of vegetables Ying, you have to take care of your health.”
BaiYing smiled until his eyes disappeared, the Crown Prince who was excited caressed the young man’s crown.
“This kid”
The two of them chatted as if no one else was there but them, and that was indeed what they both had in mind.
“Your Majesty, this ginger taste is quite strong, good for warming the body.”
BaiYing scooped up the hot soup not far beside him and gave it to the Crown Prince.
“Erm, it smells so good, you gave the young ginger yesterday, huh?”
Bai Ying nodded.
“Yeah, this is what Yan did, Ying’er helped cut the ginger, I almost cut my finger with the knife hehe”
LuoXiang was getting more and more excited to see the boy’s clumsy attitude when he said that, he pinched BaiYing’s cheek.
“You’re always so careless, if you can’t, don’t do it, you’ll cause trouble for everyone.”
The young man scratched his head.
“Hehehe, I can do it, it just the ginger was a bit slippery, hehehe”
“Just an excuse, look at this, owh, look how careless you are, this leftover food in your mouth” LuoXiang lowered the bowl in his hand and used his hand to clean the edge of BaiYing’s lips which was still left a bit crumbs. He was so close to the boy that he couldn’t help but want to kiss those very seductive lips. The look in BaiYing’s eyes made his heart tremble as if all the food that had entered his stomach churned and scrambled into his stomach which now felt very nauseous, but, kind of nausea he liked so much.
“You, how can get rid of you from my mind while your face is so seductive”
The Crown Prince tilted his head about to kiss BaiYing’s lips when a slightly loud voice sounded not far beside them.
“Ahem”
Princess aYa, who can’t stand to see the romantic drama in front of her, even though she often doesn’t want to see it, but how can she not see them? Is she blind?
BaiYing straightened his seat, he continued to eat.
“Em Your Majesty, how about the fried chicken, it’s delicious right?”
The Crown Prince looked at Princess Aya sharply, how annoying, does that person have no shame at all? That should be the right word to give her, she still sat there watching him chat with BaiYing and didn’t want to move a slight, really pissed people off.
The first plan failed.
Towards late at night.
In another room opposite BaiYing’s room not far near the exit of the main house, the room where aYa was, the princess had already climbed into her bed, the lights had been turned off since last night and that night the air was cold enough that she was curled up in a thick blanket.
The sound of the wind blowing against the closed windows was a bit loud enough to make a sound.
crack crack.
Until suddenly the window that was right in front of the bed opened by itself in the wind.
Phakk!!
The voice surprised the princess who was getting ready to sleep, she slowly got up to close the window, since her personal maid aMi was already sleeping in the maid’s mess, one of the rules of concubine Hua if she wanted to stay there, the rules were just made up, she thought.
Princess aYa had to stand up and close the window by herself or else she could be cold that night, she slowly approached the window, looked outside which was directly facing the garden, for a moment there was nothing, the wind was quite strong and cold so the shutters kept moving, she stretched out her two hands to close the window until something suddenly appeared in front of her.
“Wow!” a ghostly figure, or whatever its shape was indistinct, with a completely white cloth and a black face suddenly appearing in front of it, in shock the princess pointed her fist at the figure fiercely.
bookkk!!
Then quickly closed the bedroom window.
Crack.
There were no sounds after that, no movement outside the window as there had just been until a groan was heard behind the bush where the figure fell.
“Ouch” the figure was none other than Yan, BaiYing’s little maid who wore long white clothes and a face that was covered in charcoal resembling a ghost, in addition to her unsuccessful attempts, she was also got hit in the eye.
“Ouch it hurts” she groaned.
Bi and BaiYIng, who were hiding behind a tree not far from Yan immediately came and helped the girl up.
“Owh sis Yan, does it hurt?” BaiYing whispered, the two of them helped Yan who was limping up, and dodged quickly to safety.
“The blow is very hard Your Majesty, owhh my eyes”
The second plan failed miserably.
.....
West Dragon Pavilion.
Finally, after not being able to stand the uncomfortable conditions in the Plum pavilion, BaiYing decided to move to the Crown Prince’s room in the West Dragon pavilion, at least for a few nights until the princess left his home.
BaiYing, who had just finished bathing, sat on a chair in the room while the Crown Prince helped him comb his long black hair.
“Your hair is so smooth, smells good”
“Of course Your Majesty, this is because of the hair oil the Queen gave as a gift, and I also made my own from the plants in the valley”
“Hehehehe smart boy, my YingYing is really the best at taking care of himself”
BaiYing turning his position looked up to see the Crown Prince who was in front of him.
“Em, Your Majesty, do, the princess still going to stay longer?”
LuoXiang shrugged his shoulders,
“I don’t know, just leave her there, while YingYing stays here, or for the rest of the time, after all, this Pavilion of mine hasn’t been lived in for a long time, so it’s become really cold, now that YingYing is here, it will definitely be a lot more lively.”
Baiying smiled, back to its original position.
“Hehehe why Your Majesty doesn’t want to live here? Wow, it turns out that the room is very nice, indeed the Crown Prince’s room is second to none”
“So just stay here, okay?”
“No way Your Majesty, what will Lan’er and Fan’er Sis think later? we have agreed to compete fairly”
“What is fair, which part is fair? I haven’t seen them, my whole day is not even enough for YingYing. How could I possibly share with the others?”
The Crown Prince lowered himself to sit behind BaiYing, rested his head on the young man’s back shoulder, and raised his two soft hands.
“Are your hands sore, want me to massage?”
BaiYing shook his head.
“No need Your Majesty, my hand is fine”
“These couple days have you been busy cutting and pounding the face mask, how can you let your so delicate hands do it, next time let your maid do everything”
The young man pulled his hand away from LuoXiang but he didn’t let it go.
“Occasionally, I have to help, my servant already worked hard, it’s a small thing that doesn’t matter”
“What’s small? For me, everything that makes you tired is a big thing”
.....
BaiYing chuckled.
“Hehehehe Your Majesty is exaggerating, servant is a boy, I should be able to do a little heavy work, if I don’t do anything, my muscles will shrink”
“This has nothing to do with you being a boy or a girl, the most important thing is because YingYing is my concubine, so don’t be too tired.”
Hearing that made BaiYing burst out laughing.
“Hehehehe this is funny, is there a male concubine? I thought about it, what is the call? Concubine, or...”
The Crown Prince pulled BaiYing’s body towards him and hugged him from behind.
“If not a concubine then what? Em, how about the empress?”
“Your Majesty, don’t be joking, how can I become the empress?”
“Well, then, Great concubine?”
BaiYing was amused by the Crown Prince’s face being so close to his neck.
“Hehehehe, Your Majesty, don’t get too close.”
“YingYing is very nice to hug, tonight, I will sleep very soundly in my own bed while hugging an extra pillow”
“I’m not a pillow”
The Crown Prince sniffed BaiYing’s neck, he was so excited that he always wanted to hug and touch every inch of BaiYing’s body which was now in his arms.
“Is Your Majesty not bored?”
“From what? Who can get tired of YingYing, erm, why are you so attractive concubine Hua, every time away I always think about you, always want to get close and can’t stop thinking about hugging you, you must have used magic on me huh?”
“Well if it was true, I will bewitch Your Majesty to stay away”
