713 It Is Tasty
Both of them seemed to live in their own world, without caring about the commotion going on around them. Princess Wu Lan and Chen Ming’s voices were both stubborn and unyielding to each other. The big room is enough for the two to scream at each other.
“Even so, Grandma is not agreed, this young man, how if you learn about the war strategy and politics in the palace, there are still many books you haven’t read yet. If you really want to wander outside, I want you to memorize all the contents before you go”
Chen Ming’s loud shrill voice.
“Grandma, how could that be? Why do I have to memorize it and leave the palace, everything will be in vain because I will forget the contents when I get back later”
“I don’t want to know about that, but if you don’t want to do it, grandma won’t let you step out of the palace, not even a foot” Princess Wu Lan exclaimed.
Chen Ming glanced at Bai Ying who only chatted with the Crown Prince, the two nightingales who were stricken with love completely did not care about the others around them. Chen Ming pointed at Bai Ying.
“Then, what about His Highness the Viceroy, shouldn’t he understand all the contents of history and political science books more than anyone else?” Chen Ming asked.
He deliberately spoke loudly so that Bai Ying could hear him, but the child only turned his head for a moment and returned to chatting with the Crown Prince who had been busy feeding him since earlier.
“This is so delicious, Your Majesty, is this also from the ponds of the residents?” asked Bai Ying after enjoying the piece of jellyfish that entered smoothly into his mouth.
.....
Crown Prince nodded.
“That’s right, they are harvesting and there is a lot to give to the palace, consider this their thanks for such a great harvest this year,” Luo Xiang said softly.
“Ouch, look at this, it is a mess,” Luo Xiang said looking at the edges of Bai Ying’s lips that were left with grains of rice. Bai Ying was about to raise his hand to clean his mouth when suddenly the Crown Prince came forward and kissed his lips.
Bai Ying’s eyes widened, Crown Prince did it in public, in front of his grandmother and others.
“Your Highness” he pushed him away quickly, his cheeks red with embarrassment that all eyes must be on him now.
But..
“Rotten brat, why did you have to talk to your brother like that? Before you said that, he already memorized all the books in the palace library, you should be ashamed to say that” Princess Wu Lan exclaimed looking at Chen Ming with big and sharp eyes as if she was about to swallow him in frustration.
Chen Ming was speechless, he widened his eyes when he saw the Crown Prince kissing his younger brother in front of him earlier. In front of his eyes!
“This person is know how to take advantage at times like this.” he was about to swear, but apart from himself it seems like no one else saw them. Or were they just pretending not to see anything? What was clear was that his great-grandmother didn’t see that because the old woman was busy scolding him.
“Here, try this Mr. Shin, the blood clams are quite fresh and delicious, you will definitely be addicted,” said Elder Yi, tucking the blood clams into Shin Ya’s bowl. Shin Ya nodded.
“Yeah, it looks really tasty, it smells so tempting”
Damn it, Chen Ming thought, they just pretended not to see it. Chen Ming turned to Xiao Hong beside him. The young bird clearly saw Bai Ying and the Crown Prince kissing because the two of them were right across from the two birds stricken with love fever.
But Xiao Hong just smiled widely at him. Tucked a piece of fish meat in front of Chen Ming’s mouth who was still looking at it with furrowed brows in annoyance.
“Your Highness, here, eat this. The fish is really delicious”
Chen Ming opened his mouth, and although he was still annoyed, he admitted that he was hungry too.
“Shameless”
Bai Ying’s laughter sounded faintly, the Crown Prince kept teasing him, even tickling his earlobe.
“Hehehe Your Highness, stop it, we are eating now, there are lots of people here” Bai Ying whispered.
Luo Xiang’s other hand played mischievously on Bai Ying’s back waist. Occasionally touching a sensitive area made the young man giggle.
“Your Highness”
“How about we eat faster and return to our room” Luo Xiang whispered. Bai Ying lowered the Crown Prince’s hand that was on his waist. Trying to act normal even though he’s not, how can he? When there’s a naughty hand tickles his waist.
“Your Majesty”
Actually, Princess Wu Lan saw that, but the old lady pretended to be blind.
“Me Ma, please help me look at this, are there any bones? This old eye can’t see clearly anymore” Wu Lan said looking at the pieces of fish meat that were already in her bowl. Me Ma who had been standing behind Princess Wu Lan from the start approached, and she lowered her head to check it carefully.
“I don’t think there is any, Princess, what if Your Majesty just eats the soup, it’s safer and more delicious,” said the small young woman.
Princess Wu Lan chuckled. She nodded.
“Hehehe you’re right Me Ma, only this old grandmother also wants to eat fish like them, it looks so delicious”
Me Ma, who usually has an expressionless face, can’t hide her smile, of course, it’s very tasty, everyone enjoys it with their hearts, especially from the hands of loved ones, the taste will be multiple times more delicious.
“That’s right, Your Majesty, it is.”
.....
With great difficulty, Bai Ying finally managed to get the Crown Prince who seemed to have been very drunk, into the room, and arriving at their bed.
“Your Highness, be careful,” said Bai Ying, helping Luo Xiang onto the bed and taking off his shoes one by one.
Luo Xiang keeps holding Bai Ying’s hand, not allowing the kid to let go even once. His face was already red from drinking too much wine that night. But he never took his eyes off his very beautiful concubine.
“Hehe, my beautiful Ying Ying, today was so great. We will often have dinners and invite everyone, everyone. Hehe next time, I’ll ask Emperor Father to eat with us, also Queen Mother, and Brother Luo Yan. But no, on second thought, don’t invite him, he will take the opportunity to touch on you as he pleases. Don’t let him do it, I’ll cut off his hand!”
Bai Ying helped Luo Xiang remove his heavy outer robe and loosen his outer garment. The big man was clearly very troublesome, as long as he knew him it was the first time he saw him drunk like this. Even though he actually can’t get drunk by bringing it out the drunken part with his inner strength, but looks like he chooses to just enjoy it.
Bai Ying smiled. Touche the Crown Prince’s front hair that fell to cover his forehead. Saw a pair of deep sunken eyes that were now tightly shut due to his drunkenness. Although he was still half awake and turned his body, wrapped his hands around Bai Ying’s slender waist while muttering.
“Hmm, my concubine, my Ying Ying, my love, promise me, no, swear me, if you won’t leave me, don’t even think about it. Not a bit”
Bai Ying pursed his lips, The Crown Prince sure is cute when he’s drunk like that. He touch the Crown Prince’s wide cheeks which he couldn’t even cover with his palms which looked tiny on them.
“Your Highness, what is your Highness thinking? Where can I go?”
Luo Xiang opened his eyes. His pair of sad eyes stared at Bai Ying for a long time until he slowly raised his head and kissed Bai Ying’s lips.
“Chup”
Only a light kiss until the drunk man lowered his body again, and saw his concubine’s face which was far more intoxicating than any liquor he ever had.
“Hey, sweetheart, why are you so beautiful, thank you for coming into my life, my love” raised Bai Ying’s two palms and kissed them one by one,
Bai Ying couldn’t stop smiling. The Crown Prince basically is sweet-mouthed, especially in his current drunken state now, he is getting worse.
“Your Majesty”
And that night, Luo Xiang slept hugging Bai Ying all night, not letting the young man leave him at all. Just hug him from behind and sleep comfortably.
“Hey, my love”
The morning came.
The sun shone brightly through the holes in the windows straight into the bedroom which was located on the second floor of the beautiful Plum villa. The tall trunks of the plum blossom trees stretched out to the front of the bedroom window, where some of the flowers were already blooming beautifully and some even fell off by the wind and fell onto the grass.
Luo Xiang was still fast asleep. His eyes opened wide as if surprised because he had fallen asleep so soundly. He had never slept so soundly like that to miss out the night just like that.
