531 Ops, I missed
Lo Yi’s eyes were so focused on the target that he drew his bow tight enough to shoot his arrow into the hole, he almost missed the hole because the arrow was slightly bent, but luckily he was fast enough that the arrow managed to pass and hit the target in the middle.
“Ting!!” the sound of the bell ringing loudly.
Bai Ying cheered again, no matter who hit the target he would cheer for them.
“Yeah! Brother Lo Yi, you made it!!”
Lo Yi felt proud of it, he managed to hit the target and especially made Bai Ying exclaim for him, an incomparable pride.
“Hehe”
“Brother Lo Yi is awesome!”
Luo Xiang pursed his lips, how dare that brat also encourage others besides himself, just watch out later, he will pinch his cheeks until they stretch.
“Brat”
.....
Bai Ying screamed until his voice was hoarse, he was so excited he couldn’t stop cheering. The second prince approached him from behind.
“Alas, my beautiful concubine Hua, what makes this little concubine so excited like this? Look at your sweat, it’s wet like this,” said the second prince who was suddenly behind Bai Ying to hold the young man’s body so as not to keep moving backwards. He held on to Bai Ying’s small shoulders in his large hands.
“Eh Your Highness Second Prince”
Luo Yan couldn’t help but smile seeing Bai Ying’s cheerful face, really that very attractive young man made his hands itch to always touch him. He took Bai Ying’s hand and kissed it.
“Chup, emh, your hands are so soft, how can the Crown Prince let you clean the horse dung, it’s really inconceivable how that could happen”
Bai Ying pulled his hand slowly, if until the Crown Prince saw him he could punish him, he clearly remembered what the Crown Prince shouted that night just now.
“Don’t sit too close, don’t get touched, let alone kissed, don’t let big brother see it otherwise big brother will pinch you to my heart content, did you hear that? Promise me!”
Bai Ying widened his eyes as if the Crown Prince really yelled at him now, Bai Ying smiled stiffly, taking a step back from the Second Prince who was very close to him.
“Hehe, Your Majesty, do, Your Majesty also enjoying the match?” he asked.
Luo Yan looked at his palm, the young concubine seemed to be deliberately moving away from him. He even looked at it with a look of great vigilance. The concubine kept backing away until his feet hit the very edge of the seat which could have made him fall backwards. Bai Ying almost lost his balance when Luo Yan grabbed Bai Ying’s hand and pulled his waist.
“Eits, beautiful consort Hua, please be careful, you might fall later.”
And at that time, Bai Ying couldn’t let go of the second Prince’s grip because if he let go he would fall from the tribune.
Luo Yan smiled, Bai Ying’s face was so close to his that he almost kissed him, if not for something that quickly shot past his ear, even cutting off a little of his hair.
Whosshhh!
Everyone held their breath, suddenly an arrow shot toward Luo Yan and pierced the wooden peg right behind them.
Bai Ying’s eyes widened, it was very dangerous, what if that sharp arrow hit them?
All eyes turned to Luo Xiang who was in the middle of the field, the arrow from him missed the hole in the round iron and the arrow shot so far that it almost hit Luo Yan.
“Ops, forgive my carelessness, Second Brother, my arrow missed”
All eyes went wide, what if the arrow missed just a little? Then the second prince’s head must have had a hole earlier.
“Your Honour!” shouts Bai Ying while pushing the second Prince’s body away from him.
“Your Majesty, what if the arrow hits Ying er! Ying could die!” he cried looking at the Crown Prince sharply with his mouth bulging in anger.
“Forgive me, my dear Ying Ying, Brother was a bit careless earlier, I don’t know what caused Brother to miss, huh? Maybe because someone so carelessly forget his promise” cried the Crown Prince.
Bai Ying crossed his arms in front of his chest, puffed out his mouth in annoyance and sat back in his seat, he was angry and annoyed, how could the Crown Prince missed and almost killed him, unbelievable.
The second prince looked at the arrow drawn by Guard Pang who was nearby, showed it to the second prince,
“Your Highness”
Luo Yan smiled, he didn’t miss, how could such a great Crown Prince Luo Xiang miss, he purposely aimed the arrow in his direction without hurting him. That rotten Crown Prince, he shouldn’t even touch his concubine, what a stingy.
........
Not long after, Luo Xiang finally managed to hit the bell for the third time after defeating Lo Yi’s arrows that shot over a hole with him.
Ting!
And Bai Ying’s cheers were unbearable, he got up from his seat and jumped up and down with his two maids.
“Yeah, Your Majesty won! We made it, sis, tonight we will have a party, yeah!” Bai Ying exclaimed.
Bai Ying’s cheers sounded clear to everyone’s ears. Even to the ears of the Emperor who was sitting with Elder Yi beside him. Elder Yi shook his head seeing the youth’s overreaction, who is that Crown Prince? Of course, this little match was nothing for him, if not for the fact that he had missed it on purpose a while ago he had already come out as a winner.
The emperor raised his teacup.
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
“Heh, that Crown Prince, I already said that this year it would be better if this dexterity event was eliminated, since the Crown Prince’s abilities are already far above the rest of the participants, it would be unfair for him to fight all those people, just a waste of time,” said the Emperor.
Elder Yi chuckled softly.
“Hehehe Your Majesty certainly knows, indirectly who he is doing all this hassle for, Bai Ying is already very bored, he needs something to excite him, and the Crown Prince wants to see that kid eager to do whatever he wants.”
The Emperor nodded slowly.
“Hehe, of course, that rotten kid wants to please his concubine more than anything, but on the other hand he also said that this way the relationship with the neighbouring country’s high-ranking candidates will be closer, and that kid is right.”
Both then chuckled together.
“Hehehe, this is called one dive while drinking water, right Your Majesty?”
The emperor nodded.
“He sure, he could have thought of everything at once without sacrificing anything else, that rotten child”
........
Luo Xiang had just dismounted and handed his bow to the little guard who was waiting for him when Princess Chai Ni and her maids had already approached, before Bai Ying and the other concubines were making a fuss all the way come near him. Luo Xiang’s eyes often looked at Bai Ying and didn’t realize that Princess Chai Ni was already in front of him.
“Greetings Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty is really undeniable magnificent, I already know that Your Majesty can come out as champion since the first time,” Chai Ni said in a soft voice, this clearly contrasted with Bai Ying’s shrill voice that sounded even though the kid still quite far from them.
“Sister! It was just a coincidence, if not for His Highness the Crown Prince and Brother Lo Yi shooting at the same time, Brother Lo Yi would also be able to hit the target with precision.” Bai Ying’s voice.
“This brat! Who is Lo Yi? He definitely not our Crown Prince opponent from the first time!” said Fan er loudly.
Luo Xiang seemed to be deliberately waiting for Bai Ying to approach to answer Princess Chai Ni.
“Oh well, Princess, thank you for coming and watching the match, I hope the hot air in Yue Yang doesn’t burn Princess Chai Ni’s delicate skin,” said Luo Xiang looking at Princess Chai Ni’s slightly exposed shoulders.
The princess smiled broadly, the Crown Prince seemed to notice her too, she chuckled as she covered her mouth, unlike Bai Ying laughed with a big mouth and all his teeth clearly visible.
“Oh, hehe it’s not that hot, Your Majesty, the air in Dai Yang in summer like this will be much hotter than this, of course, I’ve gotten used to it”
Bai Ying and his two elder concubines stopped their steps, immediately Fan er and Lan er whispered about what the Princess was doing with a very big smile in front of the Crown Prince.
“What is she doing?” whispered Fan er.
Lan er shrugged her shoulders, and both eyes looked at Chai Ni sharply, the girl’s body movement was clearly the seduction girl’s movement, and the Crown Prince was very close, too close, both thought.
The Crown Prince glanced at Bai Ying who was looking at them, he did it on purpose to make his little concubine jealous of him. He stood so close to Princess Chai Ni as if he almost kissed her.
“Oh, look, there is a leaf falling on your hair, if you might, Princess, let me take it for you”
Chai Ni nodded, he didn’t move to let the Crown Prince pick up the small dry leaf on top of the princess’s hair.
Bai Ying stood in his place, clenched his fists and turned his body towards the path to the exit.
“Come on Sis, let’s go back, Ying’s legs are sore,” Bai Ying shouted, continuing his steps away from the Crown Prince.
