Chapter 455

455 Our Oath

“Your Majesty, whatever it is, I believe, we can defeat it, I believe, our destiny will not be that bad right? No matter what happens, Heaven will not tear us apart, Ying believes that, after all the bad things that happened, we deserve a happy ending, a beautiful start”

Luo Xiang nodded.

“Yeah, brother also believes, it just, brother is tired, heh, my Ying Ying, will always be with me, that’s your oath, never violates it, remember that.”

Bai Ying nodded, he smiled as he tightened his hug.

“Of course Your Majesty, if anyone violates, he will become a very ugly frog”

Luo Xiang chuckled at Bai Ying’s adorable words, he lowered the young man’s hand, released his embrace, and saw Bai Ying’s face looking up at him for a long time, a pair of eyes the big round eyes that stared at him deeply, the same pair of eyes that stared at him ten years ago.

“Hey, how can my beautiful Ying Ying turn into an ugly frog, now your eyes are like a frog, big round like this”

Bai Ying who couldn’t stop smiling earlier pushed the Crown Prince’s hand which was holding his hands, he teased him again.

“Your Majesty”

.....

Luo Xiang laughed, he couldn’t show his sad face, especially in front of Bai Ying, because, all the beauty of life was in front of him, his happiness and laughter, all his solace, how could he be so dispirited? Nothing bad would happen to them, he firmly believed that, regardless of fate or whatever, he would be able to defeat him, he, Crown Prince Luo Xiang, the Heavenly King would be able to defeat him?

Luo Xiang pulled Bai Ying’s hands closer to him, lifted the young man’s chin and kissed his lips.

“Chup”

His large palm pressed against Bai Ying’s back head and buried himself in Bai Ying’s lips which were so tempting for him to miss at that moment.

“Chup, Consort Hua, why do you always make me forget all my troubles? Why is it that just looking at your face can make his chest feel light and warm?”

Bai Ying smiled, the Crown Prince’s other hand holding his back waist slightly lifted his body so that Bai Ying’s legs had to stand on tiptoe.

“Because Your Majesty loves Ying er so much?”

Luo Xiang nodded, he looked into Bai Ying’s shady eyes for a while, before continuing the kiss.

“Yeah, that’s very true, but, it’s more than that.”

Luo Xiang finally lifted Bai Ying’s body and carried him.

“Come on, my beautiful Concubine Hua, let’s go back to our room.”

Bai Ying wrapped his arms around Crown Prince’s neck

“Come on Your Majesty”

Yan and Bi, and the servants of the King and Crown Prince followed closely behind.

“Does Ying like our new room?”

Bai Ying nodded.

“Em, not bad Your Majesty, a bit different from the rooms in the Plum or Western Dragon pavilion, but as long as Your Majesty is there, all places feel the same.”

The Crown Prince smiled and kissed Bai Ying’s forehead gently.

“Oh yeah? Wherever it is?”

“Yeah, wherever it is.”

Luo Xiang finally chuckled.

“Hehehe, this little fellow already knows how to speak sweetly”

Bai Ying pursed his lips, the Crown Prince seemed to be mocking him.

“Your Majesty, Ying has been so rude all this time, isn’t he?”

The Crown Prince nodded.

“Yeah, especially when we first met, you hit me on the head right?”

Bai Ying widened his eyes, how did the Crown Prince know about that?

“How-how, Your Majesty knows” What a shame, Bai Ying thought, even though he had no intention of doing it.

“I am a very great Crown Prince, how could I not know about that? One flower vase in the bridal chamber was missing and the shards were left under the bed, next time clean it properly”

“B-because, Your Majesty at that time, was being perverted, uh, that it’s not my fault for defending myself”

Bai Ying tried to get down.

“Your Majesty, please let me down”

“Why? Is Ying Ying upset now?” Luo Xiang asked.

Luo Xiang finally lowered Bai Ying’s body onto the ground, immediately the young man walked briskly away, his face red with embarrassment.

“Ying”

Luo Xiang tried to chase after him, but the young man was suddenly annoyed with him.

“Hey kid, why is Ying so angry? Ying Ying! Hold up!”

He even took his maid’s hand.

“Come on sister, we have to go back to our rooms, uh, em, help Ying er to rub my back, ok?”

Yan and Bi looked confused while Bai Ying suddenly walked very fast like he was running.

“Eh, of course, Your Majesty, but... Your Majesty”

“Let’s go”

Luo Xiang shook his head, the kid looks so adorable when he was embarrassed.

“heh, that kid”

.......

The Crown Prince had just warmed the bed when he saw Bai Ying emerge from the restroom, his hair still wet and his face red from soaking in the hot water for a long time. He didn’t want the Crown Prince to disturb his bath and he really did spend quite a while in there.

“Hey, my concubine is finally done.”

Bai Ying approached, and sat beside the Crown Prince, handing over a dry cloth made of very finely knitted sheep’s wool to dry his hair. The Crown Prince happily did so, grabbed the yellowish-white cloth and dried the boy’s long wet hair.

“Hemh, this smells so good, Ying has been soaked in the bathtub for such a long time, is your skin starting to wrinkle?” asked the Crown Prince.

Bai Ying shook his head.

“Soon Your Majesty, Ying must make the most of all the time available, because we don’t know if we can take a bath like this again later on the trip, Ying’s body will be itchy, and sticky, but, I heard Ku Chang and Hei Wu are It’s a very cold area, people may rarely bathe there.”

Luo Xiang nodded.

“Em yeah, I heard that in some areas it’s so cold that people can’t shower for days, even months, it’s a very common thing.”

Bai Ying widened his eyes.

“Really, Your Highness? However, the palaces of Xin Hua and Yue Yang, are sometimes very cold too, and we still can have a hot bath.”

“Yeah, that’s right, but for such a cold area, the hot water will only last for a moment, it’s better to drink and warm up.”

Bai Ying nodded

“I see, so how thick of clothes should we bring there Your Majesty?”

Luo Xiang thought.

“Erm, as thick as we can have”

Luo Xiang finished drying Bai Ying’s long hair and turned the young man’s body towards him, smoothing the hair on top of the forehead that fell erratically.

“And Ying also has a special heating pillow, of course, you don’t have to be afraid of the cold, right?” The Crown Prince’s palm held his two small-looking cheeks in his hand.

Bai Ying smiled faintly, he touched the Crown Prince’s hand on his cheek.

“Sure, Ying won’t have to worry about that”

Luo Xiang chuckled, he pulled Bai Ying into his arms from behind, even at this time the air was cold enough for both of them, to the point that Bai Ying’s palm felt a little cold, and he rubbed it.

“Ying Ying can light a white fire to warm everyone, the cold air in Ku Chang is definitely not what we are used to, according to Elder Yi, Ku Chang used to be known as a green plain that would only snow once every half a year, but don’t know since when the area becomes snowy all year round. Elder Yi and many people from the martial world don’t pay much attention to that country because Xue Hua country located in Ku Chang is less friendly and doesn’t like to get along with others.”

Bai Ying pursed his lips.

“Ohh, that’s a shame, according to grandmother, a country needs to establish close relations with other countries, especially those that are side by side with it, this is not only for exchanging resources but also for strengthening the force and welfare of its people, apparently Xue Hua doesn’t need all that”

Luo Xiang nodded, he saw Bai Ying’s face from a very close distance.

“That’s right, and this Viceroy of mine has memorized his homework well, big brother is very proud of you”

Bai Ying chuckled holding Luo Xiang’s big hand that was wrapped around his chest.

“Hehehe how else, Your Majesty, I have a lot to learn, before Your Majesty comes, almost every day I have to read all the books on political strategy, bilateral relations, border agreements and so on, my head almost burst because of it. I once wanted to protest by going to Grandma’s room and saying that this way I would not want to become the King of Xin Hua, but, I was too selfish, acting like a child, even though, Grandma and everyone relied on Ying er so much. Ying heard the conversation between grandma and old man Pai, that she really doesn’t have the heart to let me take all the burden by myself, but, they have no other choice.”

.....

Luo Xiang lowered his chin on Bai Ying’s shoulder. He lifted one young man’s hand and kissed it.
