Chapter 302

302 Back to LuAn

“This little brother, is it too much? After all, His Highness the Crown Prince doesn’t even know who’s the girl, why would you think that far?”

BaiYing pursed his lips.

“Um, don’t know, but, there’s a possibility, right? If, until His Majesty has another concubine, then, how about Ying? Then I just go back to XinHua?”

BaiYing looked at his two maids.

“Sister Yan, Sis Bi, later when we arrived at the palace, please pack all Ying’er’s clothes, Ying wants to go back to XinHua then.”

The maids looked at each other confused, BaiYing’s eyes, when he said it looked quite serious.

“Erm Your Highness”

“Why? You don’t want to come with me, do you? Well then..”

BaiYing didn’t finish his words, the two maids immediately lowered their bodies to the floor.

.....

“No, Your Majesty, please don’t leave us, we will follow wherever Your Majesty goes,” Yan said, Bi nodded quickly “That’s right Your Majesty.”

Lan’er patted BaiYing’s arm.

“Brother, is it necessary to be like that? As a Crown Prince, His Majesty has the right to have many concubines, but that doesn’t mean His Majesty doesn’t love his other concubines, let alone this little brother Ying, aren’t you just thinking too much?”

BaiYing thought, there was a point in being a Crown Prince, especially when he became an Emperor, there would be quite a few concubines.

“That’s okay, um, but, that’s not bad either, Ying can often come back to XinHua to see Grandma and Grandpa Po” In an instant BaiYing’s face was excited again, he smiled broadly, Lan’er rolled her eyes up, what a little kid in front of him really know what made him angry or just because he was annoyed for a moment? At first, he had thought BaiYing was so jealous that he got so mad.

“This little brother, weren’t you so angry because of jealousy earlier?”

BaiYing turned his head, stuffed the candied fruit back into his mouth with a pair of big eyes looking at Lan’er.

“Jealous of what Sis?”

Lan’er almost fell in shock at BaiYing’s reaction, this kid seemed to have another split personality.

“You know that earlier because the Crown Prince hugged another girl?”

“Yeah, Ying was jealous, heh, but on second thought, well, if His Highness the Crown Prince want to take another concubine again, Ying wouldn’t mind of it it, heh” BaiYing took a deep breath, his two maids looked at each other and glanced at BaiYing’s unenthusiastic face with distant eyes.

Lan’er nudged Yan’s arm, glancing at one of the unopened food boxes not far beside the young maid.

“Oh yeah, Your Majesty, this is a special beef jerky bought by Guard Bei in downtown, he said the shop is very famous for its sweet jerky, it smells very good Your Majesty” Yan exclaimed, opening the lid of the food box in a paper wrapper whose smell was instantly recognized by BaiYing’s nose, the young man opened his eyes wide looks excited again.

“Wow, it smells good, why didn’t you tell me earlier? Oh, Ying want it.”

“I wanted to save it for our long trip, you have eaten quite a lot this morning, how if your stomach ache from eating too much?” Lan’er replied.

BaiYing didn’t care, his bad mood changed in an instant when he saw the food that was shining in front of his eyes.

“No Sis, ouch this looks delicious, quick give it to me”

Back to Crown Prince’s.

LuoXiang looked at BeiYau, who was rapidly approaching.

“Your Majesty”

“Bei in front of the road, we’ll enter the border valley of the outer border of LuAn and ChangSan cities right?” asked the Crown Prince.

BeiYau nodded, the young bodyguard opened his eyes wide realizing what they were about to pass before them.

“That’s right Your Majesty”

LuoXiang looked around, the sky at that time was very clear, the sun was already very busy even though the morning had just arrived. And the day probably wouldn’t be so bad, at least with a clear atmosphere and view, it would lessen BaiYing’s bad mood a little when he visits his family’s graveyard outside the border towns of ChangSan and LuAn.

“Heh, it’s a good day, YingYing must have missed his family a lot, may we arrive before the sky darkens”

BeiYau clenched his fists in front of his bowed head.

“Report Your Majesty, at a moderate pace without stopping, we might arrive at the border area before the sky darkens.”

Crown Prince nodded.

“Well hopefully Bei, we have to speed our way”

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

BeiYau nodded.

“Yes, Your Majesty”

.....

The sun was still bright when the group entered the border town of LuAn, one of the small towns connecting the valley plains with ChangSan and the Capital city SanPo.

Hua family burial complex. In an instant, the complex that was previously only visited by small guests such as birds and beautiful butterflies has now been filled with several large horses tied near a shady tree, young palace guards on standby along the tomb area, to the palace maids.

The wind blew the banners belonging to the Crown Prince’s entourage which were dominated by gold and red, fluttering with a roaring sound due to the harsh wind that blew.

BaiYing has been kneeling in front of his parents’ tombs for a while now since the sky was still very hot, the tombs always being taken care of some caretakers employed by the palace are always, the flowers that used to be weeds are now growing beautifully, BaiYing’s favourite kinds of flowers grow beautifully around the garden, their smells so good blown by the wind which also caressed BaiYing’s long hair that touched the stone floor as he kneeled in front of the tomb.

The boy couldn’t stop himself from crying, he cried like a baby, remembering how his parents and the entire poor Hua family had to die because of him, he still couldn’t forgive himself, how could that happen? Then, how could he make peace with himself now?

“Huks Father, Mother, how are you guys there, ems, Sister Yen, are you still mad with Ying’er? It’s all Ying’s fault, it’s all your useless son’s fault, ems, forgive Ying’er, if only Ying didn’t leave the house.”

Crown Prince who was standing behind BaiYing approached, lowered his body to hold BaiYing’s shoulder from behind.

“YingYing, you’ve been here for a while now, the wind is getting cold. Let’s go back, okay?”

BaiYing wiped his tears with his sleeve, he cried until his eyes were red.

“Father, Mother, now Ying alone, even the Crown Prince who is said to have only one Ying will also throw Ying away someday, what will happen to Ying’er later, there is no one else in our house, hush, what should Ying do?”

The young man wept like a child, Crown Prince was overwhelmed trying to persuade him.

“Eh YingYing what are you talking about? Who will dump you? How could that happen? This silly boy”

“Father don’t listen to what he says, His Highness the Crown Prince is only being nice in front of your graves, otherwise he will pinch Ying’er’s cheeks, he always bullied Ying’er, hush Father, Mother, Ying’s fate is very unfortunate, why don’t you take Ying along with you, huhuhuhu”

LuoXiang Pulling his lips, he scratched his head seeing the child crying like a child who had lost his kite.

“Oh boy, why this kid becomes so whiny, come on, we’re done here let’s go, didn’t you say earlier that you starving and want to have that fish porridge for our dinner?”

BaiYing wiped his tears, he tried to catch his breath which was panting from crying too much until he was exhausted, the young man tightly held the Crown Prince’s hand who was helping him stand up from his knees, however, his knees buckled and he fell back down.

“Ah, ems, my feet are tingling.”

Crown Prince held onto BaiYing’s hand tightly, trying to help him up, until the man lowered his body and carried the young man’s body with ease.

“Your Majesty”

LuoXiang smiled seeing BaiYing’s very cute face in the afternoon sun, the young man stared at him for a while, until he lowered his head against the Crown Prince’s large chest which carried him out of the burial area,

“Who said the Crown Prince would throw you away, this brat, YingYing wants Master Hua’s ghost to chase after your Big Brother because he couldn’t keep his promise to take care of his little kid?”

BaiYing wrapped his arms around the Crown Prince’s neck, burying his head in the man’s broad shoulders, it felt very warm and secure, he wish he can always feel that for the rest of his life.

“Your Majesty, although one day Your Majesty will remarry, Ying, don’t mind, as long as Your Majesty does not throw me away, this servant is very unfortunate, there is no family anymore besides Grandma and Brother MingMing, one day, I will feel very lonely”

Crown Prince walked upright with YingYing in both hands approaching their golden carriage. The great horses snorted excitedly after enjoying the fresh grass in the cool, fertile grounds of the family cemetery.

“Stupid child, can this YingYing be thrown away? Why does this child always think strange things, if Big Brother wants to throw you away, why bother chasing you to the end of the world? What’s really going on inside your head?”

BaiYing hugged Crown Prince tightly, he burst into tears again.

“Huks Your Majesty, Your Majesty must promise not to throw Ying’er away, you have to promise”

Crown Prince rolled his eyes upwards, children are always weird.

“Why do I need to promise while Big Brother already make a covenant decree and swore to you? That’s still not enough?”

LuoXiang lowered BaiYing onto the carriage, when he was about to let go, BaiYing’s hand was still holding him tightly.

“Your Majesty”

“Yeah yeah, let’s hurry in.”
