CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

Chapter 509



The young soldiers stood beside their horses waiting for the little guards to finish loading all the goods into the carriage which was not as big as the golden carriage at the front.

Bai Ying still stood close to his grandmother, Princess Wu Lan who that morning was like every other day looked very charming. The old woman with long silver hair that was braided long enough to be attached to the front of her shoulders hugged her grandson who kept saying he was not willing to leave her.

“Sweet child, we will meet again later, grandma will live a healthy life so that she can meet this handsome grandma’s grandson, Xiao Ying don’t get too sad, my sweet child”

Bai Ying didn’t want to let go of his grandmother’s arms and put on a frowning face.

“But Grandma, what if Ying misses Grandma so much that makes me can’t eat nor sleep? What if Ying can’t do anything because misses grandma too much?”

“This brat, how can it be like that, how about this, if you really miss grandma, Xiao Ying just sit under the sky and talk to the moon, grandma will be able to hear the longing voice of grandma’s grandson wherever you are”

“Grandma, what if that happens, there is no moon in the sky, then who will Ying er talk to?”

Princess Wu Lan chuckled.

.....

“Hehehe this child, of course, the moon is always there, just, sometimes the clouds may cover it, but that’s okay, grandma can still hear my grandson’s voice anyway”

“Grandma, Ying er is not a kid anymore, how can I believe that?”

Princess Wu Lan laughed even more hard.

“Hahahaha sweet child, of course, Xiao Ying will always be grandma’s little boy”

While the Crown Prince stood before Shin Ya and several other officials, including Su Lang.

“Master Shin, are you sure you don’t want to come to the palace with us? Ying Ying will definitely be delighted if you can come along” asked the Crown Prince looking at the young shaman.

Shin Ya lowered his head.

“Your Majesty, Servant thoughts that my presence is more needed here, even though the situation is safe but Xin Hua needs many experienced people to train the new generation of young people, Servant has already said this to His Majesty the Viceroy and he understands it very well, because of The King, makes Servant who decided to stay so that I can train young people to lighten the burden of the viceroy in protecting this country a little.”

Luo Xiang saw that young shaman, he was right, the young country was just rising, and there is still much to learn for its citizens to form a country that was strong and can survive against any troubles. And Shin Ya’s presence there was one of the four very important pillars of the country, while Ye Mu lived with her brother and would also spend her old age there. Of course, all of that was needed to strengthen the young country if something unexpected happened.

Luo Xiang looked at Chen Ming who was standing with Xiao Hong not far from Bai Ying. And glancing at his young bodyguard who was standing with a lacklustre face behind him, he knew how heavy Bei’s feet were to step now after learning that the young prince would not be coming with their entourage to the palace.

The previous night at the Crown Prince’s residence.

“So Prince Chen won’t come with us to Yue Yang?” Crown Prince repeated.

Bei Yau nodded.

“That’s right Your Majesty, because of his leg injury, according to the healer it would be better if His Highness the Prince stays rest until his leg heals”

The Crown Prince looked far ahead, Prince Chen Ming was obviously very important to Bai Ying, they were closer than anything, and this time if he doesn’t come, it will surely make the kid sadder.

Bai Ying looked at Chen Ming who was standing with his injured leg. His face looked dispirited and was about to cry, but Chen Ming smiled.

“Stupid child, don’t make such a face, it’s only temporary, big brother and Xiao Hong will follow after Brother’s leg heal, after all, Brother has promised Xiao Hong to take him to beautiful places he’s never seen before, big brother might come to go around for a while before going to the palace to see you later.”

Bai Ying pursed his lips.

“But brother, temporary is how long? Ying er will miss big brother so much, why is everyone trying to stay away from Ying er? Is Ying that annoying?”

Chen Ming was excited to see Bai Ying’s frowning face, he flicked the young man’s forehead which made him moan.

“Ah, brother! It hurts.”

Chen Ming refrained from pinching him.

“Talks like that again brother will pinch your cheeks until it’s swollen, did I ever say that I would stay away from Xiao Ying? Get rid of all those useless thoughts that will make you a crybaby.”

Bai Ying pursed his lips, seeing Chen Ming’s fierce face.

“Then why doesn’t anyone want to come with Ying er to the palace? Do you have the heart to let Ying go alone? What kind of family you guys are?”

Chen Ming refrained from pinching Bai Ying who immediately stood behind Princess Wu Lan for taking cover.

“This brat”

Princess Wu Lan couldn’t stop her laughter, she patted Bai Ying’s hand who was holding her hand from behind.

“Grandma, Brother is so mean with Ying er, grandma saw it for yourself right?”

“Hehehe, you guys, don’t make a fuss anymore, Xiao Ying, don’t be naughty, later if you get bored there you can come back at any time, and your brother will also undergo training in Yue Yang palace for an indefinite period of time, of course, he will come to stays with you there.”

Bai Ying looked at his brother, then looked at Bei Yau who he saw several times looking at them with an unenthusiastic look, he stepped forward and whispered.

“Eh brother, did you didn’t tell Guard Bei about that? He looks very sad bro, look at his face, he’s been like that since this morning, not as agile as usual, and, usually, Guard Bei the one who always manages his men before departing with a loud voice, but earlier he ordered his aide to arrange everything, he is not like a Guard Bei is usually he was.”

Chen Ming pursed his lips, taking a quick look at Bei Yau sharply.

“Let it be, brother is still upset with him, let the rotten bodyguard think that big brother will not return to the palace so that he can find a replacement for someone he can trick at will.”

Bai Ying rounded his mouth.

“Ooh, but brother, if Ying can know, what exactly made big brother so angry at him? As Ying remembers he was a very great bodyguard, firm and don’t like to play around, that means he won’t just randomly like someone else so easily like that, right, brother? Did, he did something so bad? What was so bad that big brother kept getting mad at him?” he asked innocently.

Chen Ming thought, Bai Ying’s words made him think a lot, what had made him so angry that he couldn’t forgive the bodyguard? Apart from the fact that Bei Yau had knocked him unconscious when everyone together attacked Xue Hua palace. And, after thinking about it, what Guard Bei did was actually not wrong, if he were to take part in the battle, he would most likely be a burden to everyone including Bai Ying because of his combat ability which was far below everyone’s, even Ye Mu’s.

Chen Ming took a deep breath.

“Heh”

The group finally stomped their way. The sound of long trumpet echoes started the journey of the group escorted by dozens of Yue Yang’s best soldiers back to San Po. Bai Ying was still sticking his head out of the carriage waving at his grandmother and the others.

“Grandma, take care of yourself, don’t eat too much unhealthy food!” Bai Ying exclaimed.

Princess Wu Lan waved her hand, barely holding back her tears as she watched her little grandson drift away, but the old lady smiled as she nodded.

“Yes, my sweet child, please also take care of yourself, okay?”

Chen Ming saw the big carriage getting further and further away from the palace grounds, so he stretched out his hand asking Xiao Hong to help him back into the palace.

“Come on Hong, let’s go back, I need to rest a lot so that this leg heals quickly and we catch up with that brat soon.”

Xiao Hong was still looking at the big carriage where Bai Ying was, reaching out his hand to help Chen Ming who was still limping with his foot, into the palace building.

Xiao Hong smiled, although Bai Ying couldn’t remember her as a red firebird, the Viceroy remembered him as one of his very good friends.
