Chapter 73

73 Lantern Festival

BaiYing just smiled at the maids who he thought were too much.

“You guys, hurry up and get dressed we will leave soon, the Crown Prince will be angry if we are late, he’s really fussy like grandpa”

“Who said the Crown Prince was like a grandpa?” Crown Prince’s voice, the tall man had already entered the door of BaiYing’s room, BaiYing’s two little maids retreated while greetings.

BaiYing grumbled, how could the Crown Prince enter without warning from the little guards? Where have they been?

LuoXiang stopped behind BaiYing, his eyes amazed to see BaiYing’s current appearance which was very sparkling in his eyes.

“Waah YingYing, this outfit suits you so well, look at your face, you’re so adorable.” The Crown Prince couldn’t help pinching BaiYing’s adorable cheeks. BaiYing stood up from his seat.

“Your Majesty, why are you here? You said we’ll see each other there later.”

That night the Crown Prince’s clothes were also red, a combination of black with gold trim, similar to his clothes, similar? It’s more like the male version, and he’s the female version, this guy, he has planned their outfits, this is a couple-outfit!

“Your Majesty, how come our clothes are the same?” BaiYing looked at the Crown Prince with narrow eyes.

.....

The Crown Prince took BaiYing’s hand out of the room.

“Yeah, right, of course, it’s the same, I ordered the same thing on purpose, how is it, does YingYing is impressed by my attention?”

BaiYing pulled his lips, what was so impressive about it?.

“Heh, well, it’s good, not bad, Your Majesty, where did you buy it?”

They stepped out of the pavilion, towards the Peony garden, followed by the maids and guards.

“Um, I wonder where is it? I forgot.”

Not long after, in the vast Peony garden field.

BaiYing’s eyes widened, his face couldn’t stop smiling with shining eyes, the Peony field which used to be a field for practicing horses had been transformed into the city streets with many lanterns of various shapes and colors, as well as street vendors, also people whose walking around like the commoners.

“Mask-mask! the mask for two taels!” exclaimed the mask merchant, there were traders of pastries, dumplings, sweets vendors walking around along the street, noodle stalls, this is so great, thought BaiYing who let go of the Crown Prince’s hand and rushed to mingle with the others, he recognized all those people, of course with the different outfit now, there was a young guard in the Crown Prince’s palace in the Dragon Pavilion, a subordinate of Guard Bei.

“Brother Yu!” he exclaimed, greeting a familiar merchant.

Seeing BeiYau standing not far in the middle of the road dressed as one of the other young masters, he lowered his head when he saw the Crown Prince approaching with BaiYing.

“Your Majesty”

The Crown Prince didn’t want to admit it, but, BeiYau’s work at that time was quite good too, at least BaiYing liked it so much, that he couldn’t stop walking around with his servants here and there.

“Sis Yan, here is a small fish, what a cute fish.” BaiYing squatted in front of the fish seller who sold small fish as long as he could catch it with his paper net.

The two maids squatted down beside BaiYing.

“Your Majesty, try the red one, it’s so pretty.”

But BaiYing’s paper net kept breaking when it touched the water, how could he take the fish? This is so hard.

“Akh it’s broken again”

From the direction of the entrance, approaching the Second Prince with his three concubines, that night the Second Prince was no less handsome than the Crown Prince himself, wearing light blue clothes with a combination of white, of course, his three concubines also wore clothes with colors and combinations the same as him, very handsome, he opened wide the fan he always carried.

“Brother, this is very good.”

The second prince glanced at BaiYing who was squatting with his two servants still trying to catch fish, the three of them looking excited themselves.

“Yahh, it falls again!”

The Second Prince took a deep breath, why was the concubine Hua so attractive in his eyes, why every time he saw him, there were so many beautiful flowers and butterflies flying around him, he was so beautiful.

The Crown Prince stood before the Second Prince blocking his view.

“Ahem, brother, please enjoy the festival, according to BeiYau the coordination of festival, there will be a midnight event when we will release the lanterns into the sky, so brother can try to find your lanterns first, there are many choices there”

Best

The Second Prince pulled his lips, his three concubines seemed impatient to look around.

“Come on, Your Majesty, let’s go over there, there is someone who sells hair clips, let’s buy them for me,” the Second Prince’s first concubine, Consort Shen, sulked, his two other concubines, ALi and MeiYan also sulked.

“Your Majesty over there, the lanterns looks so pretty, let’s go there”

While Pang, the Second Prince’s personal bodyguard, whose face was still battered, approached BeiYau who was standing on the side of the road, BeiYau refrained from laughing, he knew how his fellow bodyguard could get that bruise.

Last night at the guard post of Plum Pavilion, the little guards escorted a man in black who was caught peeking into Concubine Hua’s room, and it turned out to be Pang, BeiYau couldn’t help himself, he laughed loudly at Pang’s frowning face.

“Hahahaha, you, what made you reconnoiter, still lucky you didn’t lose your life”

Pang glanced at BeiYau sharply.

“Stop it Bei, this isn’t funny”

But BeiYau was still laughing.

“hahahahaha”

While BaiYing and his maids were still trying to catch the small fish with the paper nets that kept breaking.

“Ah this is so difficult”

The Crown Prince lowered his body behind the three of them.

“Ahem, YingYing, don’t you want to choose a lantern?”

BaiYing’s maids seemed to understand what the Crown Prince meant, both of them then rushed away, better to separate than the Crown Prince glaring at the two for clinging to Concubine Hua.

“Excuse us, Your Majesty,” said both of them and then jogged away.

BaiYing raised his head, looked up to see the Crown Prince who was so tall behind him, he grabbed the man’s hand.

“Come on, Your Majesty, help me to take the fish, it’s very difficult, the net keeps breaking.”

But as a Crown Prince how could LuoXiang want to squat in front of the crowd.

“Em, it will be sent to your room YingYing, you can have it all.”

BaiYing didn’t care, he raised his two hands to pull the Crown Prince’s hand to squat with him.

“Ah just try it, what’s the fun it to have all these fish without effort? Your Majesty, let’s help me”

“YingYing”

The Crown Prince tried to restrain himself but BaiYing hands and especially the look in his eyes made him can’t move. He had no choice but to squat next to him.

“Oh this kid”
