Chapter 26: You Can Bother Me Anytime
“Just, be quiet for a while Your Majesty, I want to be like this for a moment, it feels so calm here”
The sound of the ducks swarming became clearer, they really passed in front of BaiYing, he smiled.
“Hehe, they are so cute.”
Crown Prince sat still, held BaiYing’s hand and grasped it.
“Was the training so tiring?” He asked.
BaiYing nodded,
“Yes, it is tiring and very difficult, they keep telling me to shake my hips, how can I do that, don’t they see my hips are so small, then shake my shoulders back and forth, turn my head but the body remains still, this is very difficult”
.....
LuoXiang stifled a laugh.
“Erm, then, will YingYing give up? I will tell the Queen Mother that your conditions are not suitable for physical training so it’s fine if YingYing doesn’t want to participate.”
So sounds for a while until BaiYing smiles.
“Hehe, others are participating, of course, I am too, otherwise they will say that Your Majesty only cares about me.”
“Well, then where is the problem? Indeed I care more about YingYing.”
BaiYing raised his head, looking at Luo Xiang who seemed serious about his word.
“Your Majesty will only make my position harder, all sisters will hate me even more”
“Do they hate you now?” LuoXiang asked, BaiYing nodded his head.
“Emm yeah, although they didn’t show it I can feel it, Your Majesty shouldn’t add more trouble to me.”
BaiYing pulled LuoXiang’s hand closely and put his head back on his shoulders.
LuoXiang swallowed hard, was he giving BaiYing trouble? How could he? He is the Crown Prince, his word is an order, who would dare to argue with that.
“Em, just tell me that they don’t like you, no one is allowed to bother you.”
BaiYing didn’t move, still resting his head on Luo Xiang’s shoulders, he would no longer trust that person so easily after what he did, for that person, if the situation was safe he can protect him, but if conditions are dangerous, he will make him as a shield for him to hide on, how can he trust him again? He just a tool.
“Your Majesty, can I go back to my house?”
BaiYing’s question made LuoXiang stop his movements, he froze.
“Em, YingYing, still want to go home?”
BaiYing nodded.
“Of course, I intend to go home and pass my seventeenth birthday at home, it’s mean that I do not want to die here Your Majesty, this time, please spare my life, I know I have done a very heavy and unforgivable mistake but, considering that I almost died twice from being a shield, just consider it my fault to break even, or, .. ”
BaiYing raised his head back to look at LuoXiang’s face.
“Maybe for the third time, if Your Majesty still wants to use me as bait for the third time I am willing, after that, I can go home right?”
BaiYing’s big round innocent eyes looked at LuoXiang for a moment waiting for his answer, LuoXiang stared at those beautiful eyes, he could no longer hold back and pulled BaiYing into his arms.
“Oh”
BaiYing startled, didn’t expect LuoXiang to hug him so tightly now.
“Eh Your Majesty”
“Please don’t talk like that again YingYing, please forgive me, forgive me for using you as bait, my heart hurts to imagine if something bad happens to you, then what should I do? I’m so sorry to put you in danger, I should be the one who protected you, I shouldn’t have done it to you. ”
BaiYing stuttered, what was this person talking about? And why did he hold him so tight.
“Your Majesty”
“You are half of my life YingYing, how could I possibly do that to you, heh all my stupidity”
BaiYing tried to push LuoXiang’s body which covered his whole body.
“Your Majesty, I don’t mind, after all, this servant is just a fake concubine, Your Majesty can use me as much as you want, just do whatever you want as long as you don’t punish me.”
LuoXiang let go of his hug, looking at BaiYing’s face for a while, he smiled as he smoothed his front hair which fell apart because of his hug.
“Whatever I want?”
BaiYing nodded, but he instantly regretted his word, what does it mean by doing whatever he wants? it doesn’t mean he gives him the right to torture him slowly to death right? Or anything worst than that?.
.......
Soon after that.
The sun had set to its place, the sky slowly lost the light and darkness replaced its natural light.
Along the path leading to the Plum pavilion, LuoXiang couldn’t stop smiling while carrying BaiYing on his back. So earlier, when BaiYing was about to stand up his feet were tingling because he had been sitting too long and almost fell back because of it, he almost lost the strength to walk so LuoXiang quickly offered his back to him, and now, he was carrying BaiYing on his back.
“Your Majesty, I’m heavy just put me down here, I’ll walk slowly.”
LuoXiang shook his head.
“YingYing is not heavy, just hold on tight soon we’ll arrive at the room”
BaiYing tightened his grip, he was also afraid of falling, the Crown Prince who was so tall seemed don’t need a lot of effort to carry him, he might just enjoy it.
It didn’t take long for Luo Xiang to arrive in front of the Plum Pavilion where Yan and Bi were already waiting.
“Your Highness”
BaiYing apparently fell asleep on LuoXiang’s back from exhaustion, also because of LuoXiang’s comfortable back, the young man fell asleep so soundly that he didn’t even wake up when LuoXiang put him on his bed.
Yan lowered his body in front of LuoXiang.
“Servant will prepare the hot water.”
LuoXiang smiled, he stroked BaiYing’s cheek which was partially covered in hair.
“Also bring liniment too, recently Concubine Hua’s legs are hurt a bit so I will rub it”
The maids lowered their bodies to their knees.
“Let us do it, Your Majesty,” both exclaimed at the same time.
LuoXiang smiled, he shook his head as he took off BaiYing’s shoes one by one.
“You guys just get it, don’t be too noisy, YingYing is tired, let him rest”
The maids nodded their heads.
“Yes, Your Highness.”
.........
After a while.
BaiYing opened his eyes, he was too tired and did not realize he had fallen asleep earlier, he got up quickly but stopped his intention when he saw LuoXiang who was still in front of him massaging his feet on the bed.
“Your Majesty, I am falling asleep.”
LuoXiang looked with a radiant face to spread the liniment along the calf to the ankles in BaiYing’s long legs, he is the Crown Prince, why is he doing this? Thought BaiYing who was holding LuoXiang’s hand.
“Your Majesty, let my servants do it, Your Majesty must not do it.”
Luo Xiang took BaiYing’s hand and put it in its original position, slowly shifting his body closer to the half-seated BaiYing.
LuoXiang lowered BaiYing’s head back down.
“YingYing’s leg muscles are very tense, it must be due to a lot of physical activity, starting tomorrow YingYing can only join flower arrangement, knitting, and music classes, if YingYing is bored YingYing can observe me while working in my office, I’m sure my work will be finished quickly if there is YingYing there. ”
BaiYing chuckled.
“Your Majesty will definitely feel very disturbed, servant is so noisy.”
LuoXiang kept staring at BaiYing very closely, BaiYing tried to avoid his face but it was useless, the man spread his two hands on his left and right while holding him still lying on the bed.
“Then, just bother me as you please, I don’t mind”
LuoXiang’s deep voice matched the look on his face that looks very serious at that time.
