224 State Guest
“Your Majesty”
BaiYing raised his hand around LuoXiang’s neck and allowed the Crown Prince to kiss his lips, as well as his neck, a gentle kiss that shook his heart, a touch he loved so much, for now, he could feel all of this for real, in the future, whatever happens, just let it happen, maybe, things will not go according to what they have planned now, or maybe more than they think, but, whatever it is, now, he only has the Crown Prince’s warm embrace and a loving gaze that is only for him.
“Your Highness”
LuoXiang raised his head.
“Em, YingYing wants to wake up? Look at the present I have prepared for you.”
Hearing the word gift, BaiYing’s eyes widened.
“Present? Your Majesty also prepared a gift for me?”
LuoXiang nodded, he shifted his body and helped BaiYing get up and sit down, the young man’s eyes immediately opened wide to see where he was now, not the usual room he always saw every time he woke up, he just realized it.
“Uh, where are we, Your Majesty?”
.....
LuoXiang stretched out his hand, helped BaiYing get off the bed, the bedroom space was very spacious, multiple sizes from his room at Plum Pavilion, it seems he has also been in there before, just, the decoration has changed now.
“This, His Majesty’s room?”
Luo Xiang nodded.
“That’s right, from now on, YingYing will stay here in the West Dragon Pavilion with me.”
LuoXiang helped BaiYing down the bed steps and looked around the room, however, BaiYing stopped his steps, looking at the Crown Prince for a moment.
“Eh Your Majesty, this, a present for me?”
LuoXiang frowned in thought.
“Em, actually, my gift is a lot of special clothes for YingYing, but, this can include gifts too right?”
BaiYing withdrew his hand from LuoXiang’s grip, furrowing his brows sharply.
“But Your Majesty, how can I stay here? How about the Plum Pavilion?”
“Well how about it? Just leave the pavilion empty, after all, this pavilion has been cold for so long without the presence of its owner, and now, it will get warmer because YingYing is here”
BaiYing thought, his face wrinkled deeply.
“Em, well, I will think about it”
Crown Prince stuttered, how could YingYing think about it again? What else does he have to think about? He held BaiYing’s hand as the boy headed towards the chair to sit down.
“YingYing, what to think again? I’ve moved all your stuff here, as well as your maids so you can’t go back to Plum Pavilion anymore.”
“But Your Majesty, I’m used to living there, after all the Pavilion is quite comfortable, the flowers that Ying’er planted are also starting to grow, and my rabbits? Where should I put them all? And, I’m not get used to it here.”
The Crown Prince don’t give up, he kept persuading the young man, he poured tea into a cup for him.
“I’ve moved everything, this pavilion is very spacious, later YingYing can also take XiaoQe and XiaoMei and put them at the back”
BaiYing averted his gaze, his face holding back annoyance, he thought that the Crown Prince who always wanted to stick to him or wanted to watch him more closely, that person so obsessed with him that doing anything to hold him at the place where he could keep watching him.
“Your Majesty, let me think about it first”
“This brat, what else to think about?”
“Your Majesty”
....
Cecklek.
A jade teacup was placed on the saucer, the living room, at a sunny afternoon where the Queen visited the Eagle Pavilion where the Crown Prince worked, making him stop his work to serve the Queen.
“Mother, didn’t expect me to bring YingYing to the welcoming ceremony, for King NuMen and his prince right? YingYing is too attractive, I won’t let others see him wildly.”
The Queen took a sip of her tea, that beautiful middle-aged woman smiled.
“Of course Mother would not approve of Xiang’er bringing XiaoYing, but, this event is quite important, people would think the Crown Prince was being rude by welcoming them without a partner, while everyone knows that the Crown Prince has several very beautiful concubines.
“So, let them talk Mother, I don’t really care about them, Xiang’er will not bring anyone, just Xiang’er or no one else, they are not very important people to be welcomed in such a way, Father is too kind”
The Queen nodded her head.
“Em, that’s true, Mother actually doesn’t really agree with the Emperor inviting them here, those barbarians have a very bad reputation for the way their treatment of women, Mother is also worried that they will cause trouble, but, this cooperation this is quite important because the Emperor has to place a post close to the NuMen and needs security guarantees.”
LuoXiang grabbed his teacup, stirred it before taking a slow sip.
“Then, what do you mean by visiting me, just want to talk about this?”
The Queen smiled widely.
“Em, it’s not really that important either, just, Mother felt the need to tell Xiang’er, em, the other day ChaiMa received a proposal from several high-ranking officials for their very beautiful daughter, what, em, Xiang’er maybe...”
“It’s impossible Mother, how many times have I said that Ying Ying will be my last concubine”
“Xiang’er, you see for yourself, look at your father, he has so many concubines and still can give his love to Mother, well, I don’t want to admit it, but he also very loves your late mother, so, there is no harm in sharing love, I think XiaoYing will also understand, the child is still very young, he can understand quickly”
“Mother”
Queen stuttered seeing LuoXiang’s sharp gaze on her.
“Oh this kid is so grumpy” Queen mumbled.
“I’ll think about this later, there is still plenty of time for that, Mother doesn’t need to be too busy with this matter”
“Well how can I not be busy, it’s a very important matter”
LuoXiang put the teacup on the table, flicked his sleeves gracefully, and slowly stood up, looking at the Queen for a moment with a sharp gaze that he was used to showing other people, apart from BaiYing of course.
“If Mother is pleased, Xiang’er will get back to work, there are still plenty of things that need to be done”
Queen swallowed her saliva, she waved her hand.
“Well please Xiang’er”
LuoXiang who had stood up and prepared to leave stopped his steps for a moment, turning his body back to look at the Queen.
“Oh well, and if Mother doesn’t mind, please help Xiang’er to convey to the Second Prince, that he is no longer welcome in my Plum or West Dragon pavilion, especially with YingYing in there.”
Hearing that, the Queen who had already taken a sip of her tea almost choked and swallowed it quickly.
“Em, what do you mean?”
“It’s very clear Mother, if brother Yan is not allowed to be so close to my concubine, Xiang’er doesn’t like him being so friendly with YingYing, even though he isn’t, and please help tell him, that YingYing only belongs to the Crown Prince, alone, Xiang’er didn’t guarantee that Xiang’er would go crazy when saw someone else touch him, even if it was the Second Prince.”
The Queen opened her eyes wide, saw an expressionless LuoXiang then walked away leaving her, back to his desk in another room.
“That kid is really scary” murmured the Queen.
........
Gong!
The sound of the gong resounded loudly to the entire of the Dragon field, at last, the guests of honor of the state arrive, the dignitaries of the small country of NuMen, the King and Queen, coming with them the Prince and also the important officials of his country.
The endless smile of the King who was of great stature, slightly dark skin, big eyes, round nose, slightly curly light-colored hair, the woman was also not so different, big, slightly chubby with a sweet face that smiled until her cheeks looked like apples.
“Greetings Your Majesty the Emperor, thank you for accepting us in this beautiful palace”
The king who was probably not much different in age from the Emperor himself, and his followers all lowered their heads to pay respects to the Emperor, a large group of people with large bodyguards lined up, lowered their bodies in front of the Emperor.
The Emperor chuckled while stroking his beard.
“Hehehehe don’t hesitate King MeYa, please stand up, you are our guests, don’t hesitate”
The Crown Prince and the Second Prince stood behind the Emperor, while the Queen stood with the other concubines lined up behind the Emperor.
King MeYa and His Queen, LuMa, and the third prince, LoYi, several high ranking NuMen officials, but someone caught LuoXiang’s attention, someone who probably he had seen before, someone who’s physically like other YueYang citizen, a handsome young man, dressed in white who often smiled, standing behind Prince LoYi, the young man noticed the Crown Prince’s gaze that he lowered his head in respect.
“Your Highness”
The Crown Prince held his breath, they met again there, the young man who the other day saved BaiYing from a ridiculous accident in ChangSan, the world was indeed so small.
The plan is that the NuMen royal family and entourage will stay at the palace for a few days to discuss plans for cooperation between the two countries, temporarily all will stay in one of the pavilions for state guests not far behind the Crown Prince’s palace.
The Queen smiled at receiving the greetings of the NuMen King who saw them without blinking, for some reason the Queen felt that the King was examining her, as well as the concubines around her with wild eyes.
“Hehehe His Majesty King MeYa, long time no see”
