Chapter 219

219 It’s not a Secret

“Father, I don’t want to interfere, if Father wants, you can talk directly to Ying Ying, but I warn you, the kid is a little bit grumpy now, he can suddenly rage for no apparent reason, and he can’t control his strength yet, I can’t guarantee that he will shoot his fire without deliberately and burned the entire palace to ashes, is Father ready to deal with it?”

Hearing that the Emperor stuttered, his eyes widened, he could not continue his speech.

“Eh, what, that kid is so grumpy now huh?”

Luo Xiang nodded. He took the candied fruit casually enjoying it.

“Well, that’s how it is, heh, even I don’t dare to offend him.”

The Emperor and Queen glanced at each other, the Emperor gulped.

“Ehem”

The Queen nudged LuoXiang’s hand who looked very serious with his words as if challenging his father, who of course had always disliked arguing with his favorite son.

“Xiang’er, don’t listen to your father, he actually knew long ago that Yen’er was a boy, he just wished Xiang’er had said it first.”

.....

The Emperor glanced at the Empress with a wink.

“Ahem, my Queen, what do you mean?”

LuoXiang pursed his lips, looking at his father, as well as the Queen.

“So you’ve known all this time? And, Father and Queen Mother didn’t say anything?”

The Emperor took a deep breath, holding back annoyance that the Queen had exposed his secret in front of his son, the Queen pursed her lips.

“Yeah, that’s because your father said, he won’t say anything, later he will punish you himself and ask your concubine as punishment, otherwise he will sentence your little concubine to death”

LuoXiang opened his eyes wide, not believing what he heard, he looked at the Emperor who was trying to avert his eyes.

“What? Was that Father’s intention? Sentencing YingYing to death? How could Father think about that even a bit? Even if YingYing isn’t a Prince, Xiang’er won’t let father touch him, let alone punish him, step over my dead body!”

“Well, what if Father says as a consequence, you won’t be able to become the Crown Prince anymore? Would you bet on that?”

LuoXiang was even more furious to hear that.

“I would rather die!”

His loud voice made the Emperor pull his head backward, he had never seen his son so angry before, who stood up from his seat with a bright red face, the Queen immediately waved his hand trying to calm him down.

“Xiang’er, don’t overdo it, you know how your father is, sit down, just calm down.”

The Emperor grabbed his teacup, this was his punishment, he was also very rebellious against his own father for questioning his government policies then, and now, he is scolded by his own son because of this problem, which really shocked him.

LuoXiang reached for his teacup, trying to calm himself down by drinking heavily.

“Gleuk”

The Queen calmly back to enjoying her tea and snacks.

“Your father is only testing you, I think, the fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree, so your father can’t blame you for being attracted to your concubine who is so sweet and beautiful.”

LuoXiang glanced at his Queen Mother.

“What do you mean Mother?”

“Ahem, my dear, do you have to tell this child everything?” said the Emperor.

The queen just glanced at him and continued to speak again.

“Well, you’ll find out that later Xiang’er”

LuoXiang was still waiting for further explanation from the Queen who seemed to be holding back her story for now.

“Then, since when did you know?”

The Queen thought for a moment.

“Em, I actually knew long ago, it was when Yen’er fainted, Mother and ChaiMa were about to visit your concubine, and that when I saw your helpless little concubine half-naked with his chest visible so clearly, I was about to confront to you at that time, but, come to think of it, your own Father also had Ping’er whom he loved so much until now, so, I thought, no problem, after all, little Ying is so cute and pretty, and also so sweet.”

The Emperor slapped his forehead.

“Heh, why do you have to tell him?”

Ping’er, is one of the emperor’s favorite concubines who now lives in the pavilions for Imperial Concubines, he was a very sweet and gentle young man, even surpassing some of women, dignified and obedient, able to cook, play music, dance, even sew, he was one of the Emperor’s loves since young and made him as concubine when LuoXiang was young, although it was impossible to have children from him, every time Ping’er would make the Emperor happy with all the love he has, that’s why this was not a new thing anymore for the Queen if now the Crown Prince is also same as his father, who really likes all forms of beautiful flowers, whatever the type is.

“Well, who knows, how many Concubines that Father have, not even can count it with all fingers”

....

That night, after a tiring day, finally BaiYing could hug his favorite pillow in his room inside the Plum Pavilion, he didn’t expect one day he really missed that room, after at first, he desperately want to get out of there, now, that room became a place he wanted to spend his whole life, at least, that’s what he thought now, he had to admit he liked it very much because it the place where his story with the Crown Prince began.

Very calm atmosphere in the room no more sounds after having had a small party with his sisters and maids, just a small welcoming party because he was too tired.

A big and strong hand, but soft enough landed on BaiYing’s ankle, the cold sensation when the massage oil was applied was very comfortable.

“Owh, this is so good, thank you, Your Majesty”

LuoXiang smiled, he never felt tired of touching every inch of BaiYing’s body, didn’t mind at all having to massage him, treat his wounds, everything he thought he would never do as an honorable Crown Prince, but BaiYing wasn’t someone else, he had been in his life long before he became what he is now.

LuoXiang lowered BaiYing’s tiny legs onto the bed, pulling his body so close that BaiYing had to lower his body down, with the Crown Prince’s face on top of him, looking at him very closely.

“Heh, why’s your face is so attractive, making all my tiredness meaningless, what can I do about this now? HuaBaiYing what have you done?”

BaiYing smiled, raised his hand to stroke LuoXiang’s hair that fell on his face, tucked it behind the man’s ear.

“Then, Your Majesty, what has Your Majesty also done to me?”

LuoXiang frowned.

“Em, because YingYing liked my kisses so much? Or, my caress, or, my massages?” he whispered in BaiYing’s ear, an exasperated LuoXiang bit BaiYing’s earlobe which amused the young man.

“Hehehe Your Majesty don’t bite my ear”

“I just want to taste you, what makes you so delicious”

“Your Majesty, don’t be joking, Your Majesty has already eaten me why need to taste me again?”

LuoXiang smiled mischievously, he saw BaiYing’s very deep eyes like the ocean, make him always drown in it, all the time.

“Em, that, I don’t remember, then, are you going give me a chance and remind me about it?” LuoXiang lowered his head to sniff BaiYing’s neck, kissing his neck, his cheeks, to his lips.

“Hehehe Your Majesty, Your Majesty said you are tired, how about we just sleep tonight”

“Why sleep? It’s not important.” LuoXiang’s mischievous hands held BaiYing’s smooth waist and back, his palms caressing every inch of the young man’s flawless skin.

“Um, you smell so good”

“Your Majesty needs to sleep to gather your strength, of course, it’s important”

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

LuoXiang raised his head, looked at BaiYing very closely, staring at BaiYing’s eyes for so long that the young man was embarrassed and averted his gaze.

“Hehe, Your Majesty”

“My energy will be recharge by itself, by enjoying you whole tonight”

BaiYing couldn’t help but be amused as LuoXiang’s hands played all over his body and his lips didn’t stop devouring him.

“Hahaha Your Majesty stop it, it’s tickling”

....

Sunny morning.

Beautiful butterflies of various shapes and colors have circled the flowers that bloomed in the garden around the beautiful Plum pavilion, since the presence of concubine Hua in the pavilion which used to be only covered with grass, now the pavilion has become a very beautiful, warm, and alive, some little white rabbits running around in the garden, attractive and colorful fish on the pond, if it wasn’t for the Crown Prince who forbidding it perhaps concubine Hua would have brought chicks and other pets too.

In the morning when the sun had not in its place yet, the maids had cleaned the room and replaced the withered flowers with fresh ones, prepared fragrances for Concubine Hua’s bathwater which the hot steam was still billowing, the sweet smell in the restroom that had been abandoned for so long, the smiling faces of Yan, Bi, as well as the Plum pavilion maids who were overjoyed that concubine Hua had finally returned safely.

Yan and Bi still had time to tease each other while throwing fresh flowers in a wooden bucket on the surface of the bathwater.

“This smells very good, His Majesty will definitely like it,” said Yan.

“Of course, His Majesty likes everything that smells fresh, he will like this”

Before long BaiYing was already enjoying his bath which he had missed so much for decades outside the palace, a lot had happened, but returning to Plum Pavilion was his goal at the end of the day, Yan and Bi were happy to help scrub his back and wash his beautiful long hair.

“Hehehehe, it’s tickling, please be gentler”

Two of his servants who especially served him during his bath, while the Crown Prince, who was said want join him to take a bath, got up early and went to the Emperor’s palace, He’s indeed really a very busy person.
