CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

321 Among them?

The event run so boringly, voices of the officials who continue to take turns giving their reports not yet stopped, soon it would be time for awarding the elected officials by the Emperor himself.

While BaiYing was enjoying his very boring time there, by eating, his mouth bloated and busy chewing the large amount of food that had entered his mouth, he looks like a rabbit.

“This kid, don’t eat too much, look at this mess,” said the Crown Prince, cleaning BaiYing’s lips which were left with food crumbs.

“Hehehe, this is delicious Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Queen said there will be a lot of new food from the selected cooks”

BaiYing looked at the Queen who was sitting beside the Emperor, seen on the right and left of the Emperor and the Queen also sat several of the Emperor’s concubines, including Ping amongst them, the young man looked especially refreshing in his bluish and white silk garments that wave by the wind.

Crown Prince smiled at BaiYing’s cute face,

“Of course, Queen Mother knows it’s your favourite so purposely prepared a lot of delicious food here, um, the event will take a break for two hours and continue into the afternoon, is YingYing tired?”

“Yes, Your Majesty, I’m so bored, can Ying go back to the palace during the break to take a rest?”

Crown Prince nodded,

.....

“Of course”

.......

By the next event,

The guests had returned to their seats, it was past noon and the next event was entertainment and meals for all, the art workers had already come into the dragon hall, the middle age’s men and beautiful, delicate-faced young women carrying musical instruments ranging from harp to zither and long flute, this is the event that BaiYing has been waiting for.

“Wow, this is going to be fun.”

Lan’er walked beside him, they had rested all afternoon in the Crown Prince’s palace and returned in the late afternoon to enjoy the next event, this was what BaiYing was looking forward to the most.

“Come on, Sis, we have to go to our seats, the show is about to start.” BaiYing rushed into the hall, watching from a distance the artists who had already arrived, but as he rushed, suddenly his hairpin fell.

“Ouch” Yan and Bi immediately approached him holding the hairpin so it didn’t fall to the ground, finally, the young man had to turn his body towards his two maids, skipping the group of dancers that passed behind him.

“Your Majesty please be careful”

Fan’er approached.

“Brother, why are you in such a hurry, the stage isn’t going anywhere.”

BaiYing widened his eyes, he turned his head quickly, his nose smelled something very familiar, a smell he would not forget because it was so important, he straightened up to see the group of dancers in slightly open and transparent clothes who just passed by.

“Erm Sis, were those dancers who passed by just now?” Bai Ying asked.

Lan’er nodded.

“That’s right, people who don’t know the rules, seeing concubines here but they just walk like that without bother to pay any respect, it’s very rude”

BaiYing looked carefully at the girls who wore transparent veils on their faces, he was about to come forward to take a closer look if it wasn’t that Lan’er’s hand was holding him.

“Eits Brother, where are you going? We are going to our seats right?”

The young man thought, if there really was the person he thought was there, it would be very dangerous for everyone, he had to do something, he pulled the ladies hand.

“Eh Sis, um, why don’t you go back to the Crown Prince Palace, um, just take a rest in the pavilion for the rest of the day.”

Lan’er and Fan’er looked at BaiYing with shrunken eyes, what the young man was thinking, with faces of indistinct smiles and had them return to the Crown Prince’s Palace while they had arrived at the door of the Dragon hall.

“Brother what are you talking about? We want to enjoy the event, of course, we have to stay here, don’t talk nonsense,” Fan’er exclaimed, but BaiYing’s hand was still holding the two of them.

“Big Sister just listen to Ying’er this time, well, there will be a very tedious and long event, if not for Ying’er having to accompany His Highness the Crown Prince maybe Ying’er wouldn’t want to come here either”

Fan’er let go of BaiYing’s grip.

“Brother, there will be a very exciting dance and music event, which part is boring, don’t talk much we should just go inside.”

BaiYing’s eyes looked at Lan’er as if asking for her help, Concubine Fu seemed to understand what BaiYing’s gaze meant, she swallowed hard, while holding Fan’er’s hand she asked.

“Is it really that big? Then, will you guys be okay?” Lan’er asked.

The young man nodded.

“Yes Sis, of course, Ying’er can take care of myself, but if you are here, it will be much more difficult for Ying’er to take care of everything.”

Fan’er turned to Lan’er, she frowned deeply.

“Lan’er what does that mean?”

“Then Big Sister’s will return to the palace, you must be careful,” Lan’er said.

Before Fan’er asked further, Lan’er had already grabbed her hand.

“Sister, what are you doing? Come on we have to go in, why are we leaving again? Lan’er’s sister” exclaimed Fan’er.

“Brother don’t be noisy, Lan’er have a stomachache, Sis, we have to go back as soon as possible, but Sister must come along, Lan’er doesn’t want to while you enjoying the event and Lan’er is not”

They headed towards the Crown Prince’s palace, followed by their servants.

“But sister, I want to enjoy the show, why do you only think about yourself, ach well, alright then, we have to hurry and get back before the event ends, what a hassle”

BaiYing smiled seeing how strongly Lan’er pulled Fan’er’s hand away, he turned to his two maids, Yan and Bi who were watching with pitying eyes.

“No, Your Majesty, we will stay with Your Majesty”

“No Sis, if there really will be an attack then this will be very dangerous, you guys better go back to the pavilion and prepare my bathwater, tonight Ying’er wants to take a bath in fragrant water.”

Bi lowered their knees in front of BaiYing.

“No, Your Highness, we beg to stay here.”

BaiYing took a deep breath.

“Heh you guys, if you don’t listen to me, you guys might die silly later, and after that, Ying’er will be alone because no one will serve Ying’er anymore, this is really sad, isn’t it? Do you guys have the heart to leave Ying’er alone?”

Yan and Bi were on the verge of tears, the two soft-hearted maids couldn’t help but shake their heads.

“No, Your Majesty, we will not leave Your Majesty alone.”

“Then what are you waiting for, hurry back to the Crown Prince’s palace, obey Ying’er this time, okay?”

The two little maids looked down for a moment, looking at each other, before nodding their heads.

“Yes Your Majesty”

Meanwhile, inside the hall the Golden Dragon guests seemed to have regrouped, as well as the Emperor who had already taken their seat, Empress was not seen there yet, that’s good, BaiYing thought, fewer people would be better, he couldn’t guess what those guys were up to, but this was definitely not a good thing.

Crown Prince was already sitting in his seat next to the Emperor, they seemed to be talking quite seriously.

The sound of music performances was loud, echoing throughout the room, making everyone smile at the beauty of the sound of the zither, harp and flute mingling in the air to make a beautiful and pleasant rhythm.

Seen at the table near the side door, Elder Yi and ChenMing who were sitting alone, both were busy chatting while enjoying their meal.

“Hehehe they look refreshing, look at those young girls, Prince Chen you have to hang out a lot and see the outside world, even though the girl from WahYe is famous for their peerless beauty, but seeing other girls can also make your eyes shine,” said Elder Yi.

ChenMing who was enjoying his tea smiled, saw several girls who wore clothes that were thin enough to show their curves, the bottom line of the man in front of him was indeed a masher, whether it was the food on the table or the scene in front of him that made him salivate.

“Hehe Elder Yi, nothing can be missed from your eyes, well, they are indeed beautiful and refreshing girls, it can’t be denied.”

As the two were talking to the point of laughing, someone approached one who resembled BaiYing, but, wearing a veil that covered the bottom of his eyes.

“Wow, where did this beautiful girl come from?” ChenMing asked shifting BaiYing’s hand who was sitting beside him to get a better look, the young man saw with wary eyes, a pair of beautiful eyes that were very eye-catching.

BaiYing patted ChenMing’s hand.

“Brother, this is Ying’er, how come you didn’t recognize me?”

Elder Yi chuckled, of course, they recognized the young man, but he was behaving strangely, why cover his face with a shiny silk cloth like the dancers who were about to perform.

“Hahahaha XiaoYing what are you doing? Do you want to do a dance?” asked Elder Yi.
