Chapter 517

517 State Guests

Bai Ying chuckled.

“Hehehe, but don’t worry sis, Ying er already brought you a very beautiful dress for sister Lan er and sister Fan er, you will definitely like it, Grandmother specially order it from the palace tailor”

Hearing that the two beautiful concubines squeaked.

“Really? Oh, my, can’t wait to see, where is it?” Asked Fan er.

Finally, the three laugh out loud happily.

“Sister waits for a whole night for this and can’t sleep for thinking about it,” said Lan er.

“Hahaha, really?” asked Bai Ying couldn’t believe his ears.

And the pretty concubines keep laughing loud.

The air was getting hotter, and to relieve boredom, Bai Ying and the concubines strolled along Lui He lake looking for a shady place to have a picnic.

.....

“Sis, is Peony Valley really that crowded now?” Bai Ying asked. Yan carrying a large umbrella that protected Bai Ying’s head from the hot sun that shine above their heads, they walked towards the small pavilion beside Lui He lake, at least they could be protected from the scorching midday sun.

Lan Er nodded.

“Yes, His Majesty the Emperor is building a temporary training complex for palace guests who are starting to arrive today, the event will last for about five days, so while access from the Crown Prince’s palace and the Imperial Palace, entry and exit will be closed under layers of guards, to avoid any guests who can barge into the Crown Prince’s palace, as before”

Bai Ying rounded his mouth.

“Ooh, does that mean we can’t see the state’s friendly match either, sis?” Bai Ying asked.

Lan Er nodded.

“It seems so, because this is an official state matter, even the Queen will not attend much of the event, let alone concubines like us, after all, it must be tiring, brother, the event will last from morning to night for five days, lucky we are not obliged to participate”

“Yeah, and it must be boring too” continued Fan er.

Bai Ying frowned, meaning, that during these five days His Highness the Crown Prince would be very busy with his business. And, he probably would rarely see him, it was very boring.

....

The small pavilion by the Lui He lake was deliberately built for Bai Ying to sit and enjoy the atmosphere there. While his two older sisters sat in the shaded pavilion protected from the hot scorching sun, Bai Ying who missed the lake that he loved so much during his stay at the Crown Prince’s palace deliberately get down to the lake.

Yan and Bi were busy holding Bai Ying’s hand as the young man took off his shoes and dipped his feet into the lake water, he even walked barefoot in the water.

“Your Majesty, be careful, the stone may be sharp” Yan shouted.

“Brother, please stay away from trouble, if you fall and get hurt, His Highness the Crown Prince will blame us,” Fan Er exclaimed.

Bai Ying with the help of Bi who was still holding her lifted his clothes high enough to avoid getting wet by the water.

“Wow, the water is cold, Sis, it’s so fun, come on sis, get down here with Ying” shouted Bai Ying.

Fan er and Lan er saw Bai Ying and shook their heads.

“Heh, that little brother, he was born with very perfect skin, no matter how bad the sunburn was, his skin will back to normal after taking a bath, don’t know what the skin is made of,” said Fan Er lifting her teacup. Lan er nodded, she pursed her lips.

“Yeah, that little brother is really lucky, look at him, don’t care at all no matter how hot it is, heh, it’s really nice to be that Ying er, really envy him”

Fan er approached. She whispered.

“Sister, did you hear about the rumours from the palace? About the Princess of Dai Yang”

Lan Er brought her head closer.

“Oh, that tall skinny one? She’s quite beautiful, what exactly did you hear?” she asked. Fan er narrowed her eyes, and pulled her head away from Lan er, she couldn’t believe her little sister wasn’t as great as her with all ears over the place.

“You are so lame, how can you don’t know things like this? Let me tell you, I heard that the Princess is the next concubine of the Crown Prince.”

Lan Er widened her eyes.

“What?” Her voice was loud enough to make Bai Ying turn his head, he glanced at his two maids waiting by the lake, but both shrugged their shoulders.

Lan er covered her mouth, smiling at Bai Ying who was looking at her.

“Hehe, there was a lizard passing by my feet, hehehe”

Bai Ying pursed his lips, women, they always being so loud, he thought. He lifted his long hem and continued on his way. Slowly stepping on the bottom of the lake with water no more than his calf.

“Sis, there’s a little fish here, look, it’s so cute” Bai Ying exclaimed.

Lan er drew closer to Fan er.

“Eh, Sister, where did you hear that?” Lan er whispered.

Fan er pursed her lips, glanced at Lan er from the corner of her eye.

“That’s why you need to socialize more Sis, to able to keep up with important news like this, don’t you know where the princess is staying now? In the Orchid pavilion next to the Queen’s residence, the maid there is good friends with A Niu, and she’s the one who told her about that, and a Niu reported it to me right away, but don’t tell anyone about this, okay, especially to that brat, he will sulk for this matter, it could cause a big problem.”

Lan er rounded her mouth.

“Ooh, no wonder that girl looks so close with Her Majesty the Queen, apparently she really wants to make her His Majesty the Crown Prince’s fifth concubine, but sis, do His Majesty will want it? Previously there was a Princess from Kili waiting in line, and now another Princess come again, this is very disturbing, will His Majesty’s concubines grow to be more than a hundred like His Majesty the Emperor?” asked Lan er.

Fan er nodded.

“Well, it could happen, it can’t be helped, the Crown Prince is the next Emperor, of course, there’s a possibility, we must prepare to occupy the best position in the palace, the important thing is to be comfortable and be able to live comfortably until old age”

Both laughed.

“Hehehe that’s true, sis, but I think that His Highness the Crown Prince only loves Ying er, in this life maybe only brother Ying who will stay with him and grow old”

Fan er raised her teacup, holding her breath for a while.

“Heh, well, that’s what will happen, then we will still be always beside him and we all will grow old together, forever”

Their laughter could be heard as far as Bai Ying’s place. They both sound happy.

“Sisters, laughing so hard, is there anything so funny about it?.”

Bai Ying continued his walk until accidentally he stepped on a round stone and slipped.

“Ah!”

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

Yan and Bi widened their eyes.

“Your Honour!” they both exclaimed at the same time, seeing Bai Ying couldn’t hold his body and he would definitely fall into the water and get wet.

His maids get ready to run towards Bai Ying when a shadow preceded them.

“Whoosh!”

Catching Bai Ying’s body just before he fell into the water, with his beautiful embroidered sparkling shoes stepping on the surface of the water lightly while carrying Bai Ying’s body towards the shore.

Bai Ying was startled, the person held him tightly making sure he was safe in his grip while the person descended to the lakeside spinning from above along with the flower petals that fell from the plum tree.

Lan er and Fan er who were shocked opened their mouths wide, and couldn’t believe what they were seeing with their eyes at this moment, a very beautiful scene where colourful flowers spinning around as Bai Ying descended with someone dressed in white with a combination of gold.

“Woow”

They even had to close their eyes when the sparkle from the reflection of sunlight hit the golden crown on top of the head, the figure of a handsome young man who smiled broadly saw Bai Ying who was very close to him.

“Hey Xiao Ying, we meet again”

It was Lo Yi.

Bai Ying stuttered, he blinked a few times to clear his vision after the scorching sun had dazzled his eyes, he couldn’t believe what he saw now.

“Bro-Brother Lo Yi?”

Lo Yi nodded, he smiled and lowered Bai Ying’s feet slowly to the ground.

“Brat, why are you always looking for trouble, look what’s happened now.” He lowered his body to check on Bai Ying’s slightly limp left leg.

Lan er and Fan er stood and watched from behind the pavilion beam.

“Sis, who is that?” asked Lan er. Fan er shrugged her shoulders.

“I don’t know, just saw him”

“Didn’t you say you always know what happened at the Palace, how can you not know him?” Lan er whispered.

Fan er pursed her lips.

“You wanted to say I’m a gossip?”

“Isn’t it like that?”

Fan er stares at Lan er and pinch her cheek.

“You”

“Akh sister”
