CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

245 The Spring’s Coming

The sun shines brightly.

Illuminate the plains of the Crown Prince’s palace area with passion.

The shimmer of light from the clothes beads whose back dangled beautifully over the floor in the Plum pavilion, powder fluttered in the air as soon as it touched the smooth white cheeks, eyes with slender eyebrows, rosy red lips, a shining face in front of the mirror.

Sitting after wearing her very beautiful dress FuLan served by her two maids aLie and San’er, the two maids smiled at the beauty of Concubine Fu’s face at that time, though sadness seemed unable to disappear from her eyes.

“Heh, this is a very pretty dress, but, what a shame, little brother Ying...”

FuLan stopped her speech, seeing the beautiful parrot patterned dress which was a gift from BaiYing, he ordered it especially from SuiLian and only arrived yesterday noon, just right for FuLan to use it for the New Year’s celebration to welcome spring at the Imperial Palace.

The party that everyone has been waiting for.

At that time, there will be many beautiful lanterns of all shapes everywhere.

Each city has a different shape of lanterns, some are round, some are round, some are octagonal, some are rectangular. And since YueYang took the day off for all residents to participate in celebrating the new year, every citizen would celebrate the new year with all kinds of lanterns and other paper dolls.

.....

“Your Majesty, I think His Majesty Concubine Hua will also be very impressed to see that you dress so well, it’s very beautiful,” said aLie, San’er nodded.

“That’s right Your Majesty”

“Yes, but, that brat...”

FuLan took a deep breath, throwing her eyes far away from the window.

“Ying’er”

.....

Gong!!

The sound of the gong sounded loudly in the Dragon big field, the New Year’s celebration was clearly felt there, each of the tallest poles was hung with red and gold ribbons, lanterns of various shapes and colors had also been decorated around the field.

All the ornaments related to the celebration of the new year are shown by various beautiful flowers blooming placed in every corner, the field that once looked dashing has now become very beautiful and more pleasing to the eye.

“His Majesty the Crown Prince arrived!!”

The voice of the little guard called out as a person in majestic clothing of predominantly red and black, with gold embroidery all over his body strode gracefully into the enormous Dragon hall. An elegant gold crown on top of a bun that gleamed in the sun, a long golden band that dangled from above along her long hair.

The Crown Prince’s face really shone brightly at that time, he wore a serious face without a hint of a smile on his face, entering the hall where everyone was waiting for him, including the Second Prince who was sitting leisurely in his chair.

The Emperor stroked his chin with a smile, the Empress sat beside him while his concubines lined up behind him, one of them was a gentle-looking young man with long hair reaching down to his waist, dressed in light blue with glittery trim with a combination of gold threads, it was Ping’er, who apparently wasn’t like what LuoXiang had imagined before, that young man who was probably around ten years older than him looked very manly with firm fists, he was not only a sweet young man, but from the way he stood and moved and his well built wide shoulders, LuoXiang could tell that this Ping’er was also an expert in martial arts.

“Greetings Father, Mother, happy early spring festival, may Father and Queen Mother always be blessed with all health and goodness, live long and prosperous always”

After the Crown Prince spoke like that, hundreds of high-ranking officials who lined up on the right and left of the hall bowed their heads in unison.

“Happy early spring festival, Your Majesty, Long live! long live!”

YueYang’s loyal officials’ voices echoed all the way to the end of the hall, extremely beautiful and in unison.

The emperor stroked his chin, he laughed out loud.

“Hahahaha, please arise, everyone, it’s a very beautiful day to start all, have a good start to a beautiful spring, please enjoy all the food served to your heart’s content, hahahahaha”

The Queen sitting beside Prince LuoYan who was already enjoying his meal nudged his arm The Second Son.

“Yan’er, do you know why your brother’s face is so sour? He, as he can really eat a person with his eyes now” whispered the Queen.

Luo Yan, who was enjoying his seat, glanced at the Crown Prince who was standing stiffly in the middle of the room. That person looked like he’s getting lost.

“Heh, what else Mother? It’s like you don’t know, should Yan’er also tell you about this matter?”

Not long after, the Crown Prince’s concubines and their maids joined in, the pretty faces of FuLan and LuiFan who were wearing their new clothes which were extremely dazzling at least it gave LuoYan a bit of a refreshing look.

“Wow, that’s a nice dress.”

The Queen also scooped up peanuts on the table, a lot of it, making Luo Yan glance sharply, His mother took it all in one grab, Luo Yan glanced at Pang who was busy enjoying his meal not far at the table filled with lots of food at the back of the hall, The fat bodyguard turned his head because he had eyes in the back of his head specifically for the gaze of the Second Prince, who told him to bring him another bowl of peanut for him, the man approached quickly before his boss shouted.

Lots of food for everyone to enjoy, that day, whether the Emperor or Prince, Queen, and officials could enjoy food without any difference in status, it was a special day for all.

“Em, that Crown Prince, how can he not put on such a sinister face, heh it’s because of Ying’er, that kid...”

On the Emperor’s side.

The emperor’s laughter sounded far away, enjoying the delicious food on the table in front of him with his beloved concubines including Ping’er beside him.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty has to watch your meal, Your Majesty said recently that you feel sore around your neck, right? It could be because the condition in the body is not balanced, so don’t eat too many kinds of nuts.”

Ping’er’s words made the Emperor burst out laughing.

“Hahahaha this kid, I’m old, unlike you guys who are still very young and agile, of course, the body will hurt here and there, this is normal right, em, Ping’er, tonight, warm the bed for me okay” heard a mischief whisper The Emperor with Ping’er caused the other concubines who were very young and fresh to protest in unison.

“Your Majesty you can’t do that, what about servant...”

“Yeah, me too”

The Emperor laughed.

“Hahahaha oh you guys, everyone will have their turn, don’t worry, this old man is still very strong at serving you all”

Hearing this Ping’er and the Emperor’s concubines rolled their eyes, while the Emperor laughed in satisfaction.

“Heh, you such a masher”

When everyone was busy chatting suddenly everyone felt a murderous aura from close range lurking. Well, it was the cold gaze of the Crown Prince who was already standing in front of the Emperor that made the Emperor stop laughing instantly and almost choked.

“Oh my, this kid really..”

The Crown Prince waved his hand asking Ping’er and all the concubines to leave the two of them to talk, the Crown Prince’s face at that time, of course, everyone would immediately obey him, even the Emperor couldn’t prevent his concubines from leaving him.

“Eits you guys”

LuoXiang stood in front of the Emperor, grabbed the teacup, and took a large gulp of it, still with a cold expressionless face. Crossed his arms in front of his chest with a face like a general who was ready to attack his enemy to kill him mercilessly.

“Xiang’er, you, why are you putting up such a scary face? You, chase away all the heavenly gods who come to bless our palace when they see your face.”

LuoXiang glanced sharply at his father, causing the Emperor to retract his head.

“And Father think?”

“Ich this kid, staring at his own father like an enemy, weren’t you so excited about the new year’s event? Every year you’ll scream that you’re free today, why is your face like that now, Father knows, it must be because of Ying’er huh?”

LuoXiang grabbed the teapot on the table and filled his cup, taking a sip of his tea.

“Gleuk”

“Well, of course, it’s because Father gives everyone a day off without exception in the palace and the country, and that’s why that brat said he’s off today”

In ChangSan city, at the Hua residence, which was well-decorated for the new year celebration, many guests had already filled the courtyard to the front hall of Hua’s house, seen among them ChenMing and ShinYa, as well as MeMa and old man Pai. Princess WuLan and General Po were seen sitting at the very end of the seats as elders handing out red envelopes to all who came near and wishing them a happy early spring. Their smiling faces until their cheeks were round looked very happy.

Amongst everyone, there’s also BaiYing’s two maids, Yan and Bi who joined in serving and arranging where so much food would be served, many small children running around in the room to the field, they were all children from WahYe residents who joined Princess WuLan’s entourage for the celebration.

On New Year’s Eve at BaiYing’s residence in ChangSan City, the enormous house was enough to accommodate everyone staying for some time due to the long journey from SuiLian City.
