Chapter 104

104 Princess of Kili

The special banquet for the Queen’s guests was held quite lively, of course, it was an event belonging to the Empress so that the Emperor could not be too involved in her affairs. It was held at the Phoenix hall, one of the halls which were slightly smaller than the Dragon hall belongs to the Emperor held a banquet that day, fabrics dominant in red and gold silks waving down from the high ceiling, beautiful flowers placed on every corner and table, beautiful sparkling carpets that spread along the way, large round tables with food prepared by first-class cooks.

Of course, the Queen’s guest was none other than the little princess of the land of Kili, a small country that although not as rich as YueYang had very reliable resources, natural stone for producing weapons and armor for war. Besides that now Kili had also penetrated into manufacturing to very beautiful clothes, to abundant produce with the characteristics of its spices, Kili is one of the small countries that cannot be underestimated.

The Queen’s guest that morning, the very beautiful little princess of Kili, had slightly tan skin, not as white as the woman from YueYang, but her skin was shiny and looked very smooth and soft, a pretty face, a sharp nose, big round eyes with long eyelashes, with wearing a transparent veil that covered the lower part of her nose, wavy brown hair that was tied slightly at the top and left loosely on her small shoulders, her clothes were light brown with glittering sequins, see-through material on the top of the chest that showed her slender shoulders and neck. Her face is very beautiful, peerless.

Princess KaYa is eighteen years old in her prime time as a girl who is lively and wants everything, strong martial arts to protect herself, she even won the annual fighting competition when she was seventeen against most men, a smart brain, and knows what she wants, with her very stiff and non-expression serious face.

The sound of the music stopped and the gong being hit loudly signaled the arrival of the Crown Prince in the hall which was already filled with the Queen’s servants, the Princess of Kili and her subordinates, not so many people but all stopped when they saw the Crown Prince enter the large room with his entourage.

“His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!” cried the little guard.

All except the Queen lowered their bodies to welcome the arrival of the Crown Prince, after which LuoXiang slightly bowed to the Queen Mother.

“Good morning mother, Xiang’er is coming”

The Queen stood up from her seat, she immediately pulled the Crown Prince closer.

.....

“Xiang’er, you are very late, we are all hungry waiting for you, let’s sit down, Yen’er you sit over there, okay?” said the Queen to BaiYing, BaiYing glanced at the chair the Queen was referring to, he obeyed and would move there with two servants, but LuoXiang’s hand held him back.

“YingYing sits beside me, Mother don’t mind right?”

The Crown Prince’s words made the Queen pursed her lips, how could she let his concubine sit beside him while he was about to talk to his new concubine.

The princess looked at LuoXiang with her big round eyes, then at the concubine who was holding him tightly behind him, somehow, the concubine’s face looked familiar, the princess thought.

The Crown Prince was just about to take his seat when a voice came from the princess.

“I’ll just keep it short, please forgive me, Your Majesty, the Queen, but I don’t agree with this matchmaking.”

The princess’s words made everyone, including LuoXiang, shocked, this was fast, she could break ties with people even before knowing him, this was the news he had been waiting for, LuoXiang sat down on his chair, pulling BaiYing’s hand to sit beside him.

“This is good news”

The Queen stuttered, how could the princess refuse the Crown Prince in front of her? The person did not look at her, even though she was a respectable Princess but the girl did not give her face at all.

“Eh that”

The Queen understood that the Kili princess in front of her was known to be very stubborn and vocal in expressing her opinions, that’s why her father, the King of Kili decided to marry her to the Crown Prince of YueYang in the hope that she could change her attitude, even though it was difficult as it seemed.

“Emm, may I know what’s your excuse? Your father has left you here, of course, we must have a reason if you suddenly refuse when you arrive here”

Princess Kili looked at the Queen, she lowered her head.

“Sorry Your Majesty, but Father may not know this matter, but, I already have someone, hope Your Majesty can understand”

The Queen rounded her mouth, she just found out about it, previously the King of Kili insisted that his little daughter did not have a lover, Of course, this way she couldn’t force her will.

The Crown Prince was busy picking up side dishes and putting them into BaiYing’s bowl, the young man couldn’t be happier than that, seeing so many delicious foods in front of his eyes, who wouldn’t be tempted.

“Wow, this is delicious, Your Majesty, what is that?”

BaiYing glanced at the center of the table not far in front of LuoXiang, the Crown Prince immediately took it,

“This looks like fish balls, do you want it? smells great”

BaiYing nodded quickly.

“Of course, it looks delicious”

The Queen took a deep breath, while the Crown Prince was busy showing their lovey-dovey with Concubine Hua and Princess Kili was busy putting on a stern face, this wouldn’t work.

After the meal is over.

The Crown Prince couldn’t stay away from BaiYing and clung to him wherever he went, when the young man briefly turned away from the Crown Prince the Queen hurriedly pulled his hand closer.

“Yen’er, do something”

BaiYing frowned, what did the Queen mean by pulling him closer to the wall and speaking in a whispering voice.

“Your Majesty’s meaning is..”

“Well that, persuade the Crown Prince to agree with the concubine, if the two of them get married, the Kili country will send a large supply of weapons here, we can make a profit, not to mention they will give YueYang a quota for spice supplies more than before, this is very good isn’t it.”

BaiYing frowned, he looked at the Crown Prince who was standing not far in front of Princess Kili, he thought to have seen the princess somewhere before this.

“But, His Highness the Crown Prince doesn’t like her, Yen’er can do nothing about it”

“Well, he doesn’t have to like her, it doesn’t matter, just look at concubine Fu and concubine Lui, Xiang’er also doesn’t really like them but they are still his concubines right, this time only you who can persuade him, come on Yen’er this time just help this old Queen.”

The Queen gripped BaiYing’s hands tightly.

“But”

On the Crown Prince’s side, he was almost bored to death standing in front of the garden waiting for BaiYing who was said to have gone to the restroom for a while and hadn’t shown up yet. Did the kid take a bath? Why did it take him so long, he was just about to catch up with him when suddenly the princess from Kili was standing in front of him, surprising him.

“Owh”

The Princess looked at LuoXiang who was very tall from her for a while, observing that flawlessly handsome face closely.

“Your Highness the Crown Prince, did I not look very attractive?” asked the princess, the Crown Prince frowned, why did the Princess ask him that? Wasn’t she the one who rejected him?

“Princess is quite attractive, even very attractive, the beauty of a Princess from Kili is incomparable.”

The words that came out of the Crown Prince’s lips seemed to mock her. The princess straightened up.

“Heh, well, say again, Your Majesty’s concubine is indeed so beautiful that you can’t even turn away from her, then why do you still need another concubine?”

The Crown Prince took a deep breath.

“Well it can’t be helped, it was the Queen Mother’s idea, for me one YingYing is enough for my life, it’s good if you reject it immediately, so I don’t need to embarrass you who have come all the way”

“Well, the sooner the better, tonight I will immediately get out of the palace, so there’s no need to mince words for too long.”

BaiYing soon approached.

In Princess Kili’s eyes, when BaiYing moved past her, the concubine was indeed very beautiful, her movements were gentle, the clothes she wore matched her graceful movements, her face was very attractive, big round eyes, pointed nose, very white and smooth skin like porcelain, plump red lips, full of blooms with a very small mole at the ends of her lips, moles? Why did she seem to recognize it? Is this just a coincidence?

“Your Majesty, sorry to keep you waiting”

Even her voice, Princess Kili seemed to recognize that voice.

The Crown Prince’s hand immediately pulled BaiYing’s waist closer to him, while BaiYing was actually uncomfortable because in front of them there was still a princess from Kili who was looking at them.

“Come here, look at the crumb still left on your lips” LuoXiang’s hand brushed the edge of BaiYing’s lips where there were a few crumbs of food left.

Princess Kili’s eyes widened, even the concubine’s smile, she seemed to have seen it before, a smile that had made her heart stop beating for a moment.

Dug.

And glancing at the two young maids who followed her frequently, it must be him, that impudent young man, isn’t he, he’s a boy, isn’t he? Or, girls?
