CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

Chapter 62: Something’s Coming Up

BaiYing smiled seeing his own painting, didn’t know what to say, it’s not so good and even looks messy, such a lousy, his never too good at using his hands in everything, while their teacher that day, an unpretentious young man walked around looking at the results of each concubine’s paintings, a young man who may be in his early thirties, lowered his body to examine Mu’er’s painting, he smiled at her beautiful painting.

BaiYing pursed his lips, if only the Crown Prince could open his eyes widely, he might have so much more interested in Mu’er, if it compares to him, she was so good at everything, flower arrangement, good at a musical instrument, calligraphy, and painted too, that little girl was almost perfect.

BaiYing sighed, with his hand on his chin, apparently, his troubled face attracted the teacher to approach and examine his painting.

“Em Your Highness Concubine Hua, your painting is also very attractive”

Interesting? Why don’t you just say it ugly, is it really necessary to say something nice but it turned out to be lying?

BaiYing raised his brush on the paper, was about to continue his painting but the young teacher handheld his hand, which BaiYing didn’t expect.

“Forgive me Your Majesty, but how you hold the brush is a bit incorrect, let me guide you.”

.....

BaiYing did not move and let the young teacher touch his hand, showing the correct way to hold the brush. From his face it seemed that the teacher looked pleased standing behind BaiYing back, seeing through his neck as if he hugged him from behind, insolent! That teacher was so brave, he thought he was too handsome that the other concubines didn’t mind his treatment by touching them here and there, this was called sexual harassment, they might be okay with it, but BaiYing couldn’t bear to hit him in the stomach, but, as he ready to do so someone else with a murderous gaze might be ready to cut the teacher’s neck.

“Ahem!”

BeiYau with his dark looking eyes already standing behind the teacher, immediately the young man straightened up, turned his body to see Beiyau who’s ready to swallow him up, glanced with big eyes at the teacher’s hand that had been touching BaiYing here and there, did that person want to lose his head?

“Eh hi Guard Bei”

BeiYau approached, with his hands pushing the teacher’s body back off.

“Please keep your distance”

BaiYing looked up at him and refrain from laughing, BeiYau’s face at that time was like a father-in-law who’s so angry when his daughter was being touched.

BeiYau lowered his head in front of BaiYing.

“Forgive me Your Majesty, but there is an important matter that happens, can Your Majesty back to the Pavilion with me?”

BaiYing frowned, what matter is so important? Makes that bodyguard entered his class, he glanced at the other concubines who saw him with high eyebrows, especially concubine Lui.

“Em, but I still have a class, master Bei.”

BeiYau did not flinch, he just waited until BaiYing lowered his brush.

“Hahh seriously?”

.........

At the Imperial Palace.

A very important matter at that time, the meeting with the new Palace Advisor, old acquaintance YueWang, who had already conveyed his work agenda to the Emperor and the Minister of State Support, at that time the Crown Prince could only listen, all who gave approval or not was the Emperor himself. Although some sound a little less convincing but LuoXiang thinks it is still in a reasonable stage, he will only protest if the advisory work agenda for People’s affairs that day has touched on LuoXiang’s dislikes.

The state adviser was in charge of presenting several work agendas, to be submitted to the Emperor on how to carry out his duties better through the updated regulations and all the problems and solutions, that day the Minister of State Affairs was the most highlighted because lately due to the uneven economic development of the YueYang people, there’s still many of citizens who still living below the poverty line, especially near the border due to crop failure and bad air, this also makes some crime rates automatically increase, LuoXiang thinks this is very important, and it turns out that the idea conveyed to his father, it occurred to the state advisor who was presenting it to the ministers, this was not so bad.

When the Crown Prince listened so seriously, from the back near the door a Crown Prince’s guard approached, his head immediately raised because he recognized the young guard who approached him directly, the special guards had more authority than the other palace guards to approach the Crown Prince wherever and whenever there was if there’s any important news, the young guard lowered his head while thrusting a fold of paper in front of the Crown Prince.

“Greeting Your Excellency”

On the Advisory side, YueWang glanced secretly at the Crown Prince and saw what the guard was thrust into the hands of the Crown Prince, his personal adviser Eunuch Sheng, who was standing beside him approached when he noticed YueWang’s gentle hand’s wave, that fat man nodded, then don’t knows what he was ordered to his men behind him who dismiss themselves right away.

......

The sound of the flowing water in the fish pond behind the pavilion became BaiYing’s entertainment that afternoon, he was very bored, he should have planned to go to the valley today with the Crown Prince as he returned from the palace, but up until now the Crown Prince has not arrived, so what is he going to do now?

Yan and Bi approached BaiYing who was sitting absentmindedly, the two of them stopped behind him.

“Your Majesty, what do you thinking of?” asked Yan.

“Yes, Your Majesty, why are you daydreaming? Em, let’s go to the garden and see the flowers,” suggested Bi.

BaiYing turned his seat towards the two maids who immediately lowered their bodies and sat in front of him.

For a while, BaiYing glanced at the two maids, he had a lot to say, but according to the Crown Prince it might not be the time now, it just, he couldn’t deceive himself anymore, let alone the two young girls in front of him, who had always served him wholeheartedly, he was sick at the thought that he had tricked them.

“Em, sister Yan, sister Bi, will you guys forgive me? if I make a very big mistake?” he asked, the two maids turned to each other, frowning at BaiYing’s questions at that time.

“What do you mean, Your Majesty?” asked Bi

“Well, if I make a mistake, a very big one that might make me lose my life”

Hearing that, the two maids cover their mouths, opening their eyes wide, and lowering their heads deeps to the floor.

“Please, Your Majesty, don’t talk like that”

“Yes Your Majesty, whatever Your Majesty did, there must be a reason for it, please don’t scare us, Your Majesty”

BaiYing pulled his lips, turned his gaze far ahead to a small fish pond with lots of colorful fish in front of them who swim lively and make the water gurgles.

BaiYing took a deep breath.

“Heh, actually I ...”

Before BaiYing spoke, the two servants lowered their heads again, stopping his words.

“We already know Your Majesty,” both said simultaneously.

BaiYing turned his head, looked at the two maids with wide eyes.

“W what do you mean, you guys already know?”
