CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

199 Heart’s of Bei

Meanwhile in one of the parks not far behind the palace, near a pond which filled with colorful fish swimming freely and rose to the surface, where someone had been sitting for a while and throwing a pellet in his hand, a gentle wind pass, caressed the young man’s long hair, his metallic blue clothes reflected the light from the oil lamps hanging in every corner of the palace and gardens, several servants were seen passing by while occasionally lowering their heads when they saw the person sitting by the pool.

“Your Majesty.”

Slowly someone approached him from behind, someone who lowered his body beside him.

“Your Majesty, Young Prince ChenMing, aren’t you afraid of catching a cold while sitting outside for too long?”

ChenMing turned his head, looking up to see someone who had lowered his head in salute in front of him still holding the hilt of his longsword tightly.

“Hehe guard Bei, you haven’t rested yet? please sit down.”

BeiYau lowered his body and sat beside the young man, who smiled so wide seeing BeiYau’s presence there, the moon tonight is very bright, its light also helps to show ChenMing’s sweet face which looks so beautiful with a smile that made his cheeks flush with the cold wind, BeiYau took off his coat, put it on ChenMing’s shoulders which immediately made the youth stutter.

“Eh”

“It’s very cold, Your Majesty is not wearing thick clothes, I’m afraid Your Majesty will get sick later”

.....

ChenMing smiled, BeiYau helped him to tie the coat even tied the rope at the collar, the guard’s face was so close to his that he could feel the breath of men that young man, even his beating heart was so fast.

“Does, guard Bei okay? Your heart sounds really fast? Haven’t your wounds healed yet?”

BeiYau stopped moving his hands, hearing ChenMing’s question which made his cheeks blush.

“Hehe, this, it must be because I was too close to His Highness the young Prince, so I couldn’t control myself, sorry to make you hear that.”

ChenMing chuckled, the young guard in front of him was really cute and honest.

“Hehehe guard Bei, you indeed, a very veracious man.”

BeiYau pursed his lips, his eyes couldn’t fool people that he was so happy at that time, so happy that he didn’t know what to do, these few days, so many things happened that made him think about everything that he never thought before, how could he be so worried about someone he didn’t want to think at the first time? Even now, just by looking at his face could make his heart run wildly fast, this was a difficult disease for him to cure.

“Hehe, Servant don’t have much time left here, tomorrow, servant will return to the capital, and this means that the opportunity to see His Highness Prince ChenMing won’t come again next time, servant, will miss this time very much”

ChenMing smiled, he lowered his head holding back his breath for a moment.

“Heh, yeah, we won’t be seeing each other again, though, I’m already starting to like guard Bei”

Hearing that BeiYau raised his head, looking at ChenMing with round eyes.

“Really? Your Majesty, you don’t hate me so much anymore?”

Chen Ming shook his head.

“Hehe of course not, since when did I hate you? Guard Bei has been very kind to me all this time, how could I hate someone as good as you, heh this palace will surely become very boring later on, but anyway, I can’t leave yet, unlike Ying’er who had to follow His Highness the Crown Prince back to the Capital, I still have a lot of work to do here, and grandma will really need all the available help.”

BeiYau held his breath, yes, this would be very boring for him too, although being the Crown Prince’s bodyguard was both a duty and an obligation as well as something he wanted to continue to do until he died, but, it was nice to have someone else to think about too, and he would miss that opportunity, what a shame.

ChenMing lowered his head looking at BeiYau’s frowning face who was looking the other way.

“Em, but, according to Ying’er, I can visit ChangSan at any time, stay at his house there, and also go to the Crown Prince’s palace at any time, he said as the representative of WahYe palace I can also come at any time, that is, of course later after re-affirming the WahYe country name in front of His Majesty the Emperor”

Hearing that BeiYau raised his head, looking at ChenMing with wide eyes.

“Really? That’s, very good, well, indeed as a representative of Wahye country, His Highness the Prince does have to visit often, and the Hua family’s house is not too far from the palace, the place is also comfortable, I know because I took part in the rebuilding”

ChenMing couldn’t help but laugh at BeiYau’s sudden change in attitude, the guard became so excited again.

“Hehehe of course, I heard from Ying’er that the house is really comfortable to live in, it’s really nice to take grandma there once in a while”

BeiYau swayed his legs hanging over the pond, his face getting excited again.

“This means that I will have many opportunities to see His Highness Prince ChenMing’s face again.”

Hearing that ChenMing laughed, BeiYau’s innocent words were openly teasing him.

“Hehehe this guard Bei”

.......

The morning.

Heeeeeee!!

The Crown Prince’s entourage will prepare to return to the Capital, the golden carriage with the luxurious carved WahYe royal crest will be BaiYing’s vehicle to return to the palace which is quite a distance away, BaiYing holds Princess WuLan’s two wrinkled hands which are now in front of him.

“Grandma, Ying’er is going back to the capital, Ying’er will visit often. At that time, Grandma still has to take good care of your health, don’t get sick, ems, grandma, is Ying’er’s grandmother, later, Ying’ er there will be a home to go home to.”

WuLan smiled, she raised her hand to caress BaiYing’s cheek while she couldn’t hold back her tears.

“Sweet child, this old granny will live a very long life, Ying’er heard His Highness the Crown Prince, this granny is still very young, can live to be a hundred years old, so Ying’er doesn’t need to worry, grandma will always wait for Ying’ er here.”

BaiYing smiled, he nodded.

“Yeah Grandma, Ying’er will definitely come home often.”

On the other hand, LuoXiang glanced at ChenMing who was standing beside old Pai.

“Young Prince Chen, it’s a shame that this visit has to end so quickly, but this XinHua is so beautiful, we will naturally come often, hope the prince doesn’t mind.”

ChenMing lowered his head in front of LuoXiang.

“I’m ashamed that I’ve ever done anything stupid to His Highness the Crown Prince, please assume it’s just the stupidity of a prince who is in a daze, of course, the door of this palace will always be wide open, but, um, Your Majesty must not forget, if your concubine, is The Young King of WahYe, of course, his safety and happiness are very important matters for all WahYe people, so if His Majesty offends or harms our Viceroy, of course, there will be anger from all WahYe people.

Hearing that LuoXiang pursed his lips, he looked at ChenMing with sharp eyes, did he not hear that the boy was threatening him? Even with his goofy face.

However, LuoXiang held back and smiled.

“Hehe, that, of course, there’s no need you to remind me Prince Chen, whatever happens, YingYing’s happiness and safety is my top priority, how can I let anything bad happen to him? that’s highly unlikely”

ChenMing smiled.

“Hehehe, that’s a relief to hear that”

ChenMing briefly glanced at BeiYau who was standing behind the Crown Prince, BeiYau smiled as he lowered his head in salute, his hand holding his waist where a round jade emblem with a bluish state coat of arms of WahYe hung, it’s brand new, from who else but Prince ChenMing who gave it last night.

“Here, take this as a gift from me, with this Bei guards can remember me while I’m not around right?” BeiYau’s eyes widened when he saw the very beautiful and precious emblem that was proffered in front of him, as a substitute, BeiYau also gave a gift in the form of a small gold-handled dagger that the size was not longer than his arm, it was a gift from the Palace for his achievements, which he often carried with him everywhere, though he had never used it, and now, the dagger was in ChenMing’s hand who was now looking at it with a smile.

The Crown Prince turned his head when he saw ShinYa approaching.

“Sir Shin, have you prepared all your necessities?”

ShinYa lowered his head nodding.

“Your Majesty, I don’t need much, just one small bag.”

LuoXiang looked around, where WahYe’s trained guards had taken their respective positions, Commander FaLu was the leader of the soldiers, they had sworn to guard XinHua palace with all their might and strength, and staying loyal to the council for the sake of mutual peace, this would be a long process, but LuoXiang was sure that Princess WuLan and the others could handle it without BaiYing’s presence, after all, that child is still too young, becoming a King at his age is not an easy job, it would be too much of a burden, they would somehow manage this later, but at the moment LuoXiang didn’t want to think too much, returning to the palace was the start of everything new, and that, they hadn’t done anything at all.

ShinYa was joining them back to YueYang palace, after all, LuoXiang still wanted to know a lot about WahYe, and WuLan decided that the right person to carry out the mission at this time was ShinYa, who became the Shin family’s Divine Shaman who did have a lot of knowledge about WahYe, of course, he was proved to be very appropriate to carry out the mission compared to other WahYe youths including ChenMing who don’t know much.
