CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

Chapter 622

622 Envoys

Luo Xiang widened his eyes, not because he was surprised to see them there but more afraid that their loud voices would wake up Bai Ying who was sleeping in the room. He raised his hand in front of his mouth ordering everyone to be quiet.

“Please be quiet, don’t shout too loud”

This, of course, made Su Lang and the others stutter, they might have come at an inopportune moment because the Crown Prince’s pair of eyes were already glaring at them.

Luo Xiang glared at Bei Yau, was this something really important and couldn’t wait to wake him up in the morning? Although it looks like, it is already quite the afternoon.

Shortly thereafter in the living room on the first floor. Luo Xiang had already sat down to enjoy his morning tea listening to what Su Lang and the troops high-ups who came with him were about to say. And it can’t be avoided, that Su Lang and the others’ arrival at the city had caused a stir along the street where they become the main attention. The stately attire and the national flag of Xin Hua fluttered steadily at the end of the pole held by the large soldiers who were still lined up neatly in front of the inn. Even their horses are the best of the best with big proud faces standing tall.

Who wouldn’t notice their presence? It’s so obvious and it’s impossible to miss it. That makes Bei Yau who see them pass immediately called them.

“So you guys came immediately after hearing the news about the chaos on Fo Wang mountain? Did Her Majesty the Queen order you to come?” asked Luo Xiang.

Su Lang nodded.

“That’s right Your Highness, pardon us for being a few days late, the news reached Her Highness’ ears after a few days passed.”

.....

Luo Xiang enjoyed his tea, sipped it slowly and put it back neatly on his saucer.

“Well, you guys are late, then what do you think you guys are going to do? With your Viceroy’s ability, of course, he doesn’t even need your help anymore.”

The Crown Prince’s words were clearly true, Su Lang stuttered.

“Eh, that, actually the same as what Her Majesty the Princess said, Your Majesty, but, there are other things that are no less important, so Her Majesty the Princess asked us to come here to pick His Highness at all costs.”

Luo Xiang turned his head and saw the Head of the Xin Hua Imperial Guard, Su Lang for a moment. He was about to ask when he heard a voice from the stairs.

“Brother Su!” Bai Ying’s voice.

He came down with Chen Ming and Xiao Hong.

Su Lang and the others immediately lowered their bodies to greet their Viceroy.

“Greetings, Your Highness the Young King, may Your Highness always healthy and long life.”

Bai Ying couldn’t wait to meet Su Lang and help him up.

“Brother, stand up everyone, you all came all the way from Wah Ye here, just to see Ying er? Oh I missed you guys so much, come on everyone, stand up”

Bai Ying held Su Lang’s hands to help him stand up, he held them for quite a long time, so long, in the Crown Prince’s eyes who widened at him.

“Ahem!” he even deliberately raised his voice so that Guard Su would keep his bearings. Su Lang realized that he backed away and lowered his head in front of Bai Ying.

“Please forgive Servant, for not informing Your Majesty about our arrival earlier.”

Bai Ying smiled. He recognized several warrior heads standing behind Su Lang who always kept their heads down.

“How did you know I was here? What, is this just a coincidence?”

Soon after that.

“What?” Crown Prince’s loud voice. He straightened up in his seat when he heard what news Su Lang conveyed. He looked at the guard’s head sharply, then at Bai Ying who actually didn’t understand what the Crown Prince’s panicked gaze meant. Bai Ying only looked at him with his pair of big round eyes blinking a few times.

“Your Highness, your startled me, does it have to be that harsh huh?”

The Crown Prince’s loud and angry voice made Su Lang lower his head deeply and stop his words.

“I beg your pardon, Your Highness, if Servant had made Your Highness shocked by this news”

Luo Xiang pulled his lips and swallowed his saliva whole. Leaning back on his back trying to calm down after being unreasonable just now, how could he lose his mind and scream like that? Where is his dignity as a very great Crown Prince goes?

“Ahem, I was just a bit surprised Guard Su because the tea was almost spilt just now.”

Chen Ming looked at the Crown Prince sharply, that weirdo, is probably having his beard on fire now. Chen Ming approached Su Lang and took a red envelope from the guard’s hand.

“Great King of Son Wa, I think to have heard of it before, is there really such a tribe in Wah Ye?” Chen Ming asked.

Su Lang nodded.

“It is, Your Majesty, the Son Wa tribe lives on the huge plains of meadow, and has vast land and abundant natural wealth, so far they have lived peacefully in the interior by building their own fort. Son Wa’s military strength is so strong that no country even wants to deal with them.”

Chen Ming looked at the folded red paper with writing in golden ink.

“This is very strange, if they were that strong where were they when the country of Wah Ye fell? And now, what right do they have to ask for a share in the government, to want to get in acquire with the Viceroy? Who do they think they are, such a ridiculous” Chen Ming said handing the folded red paper with the official state stamp into Su Lang’s hand again.

Bai Ying wrinkled his eyes, not understanding Chen Ming’s words.

“Brother, what does it mean by getting in the acquire, is like, like become an ally?” he asked innocently.

Chen Ming pulled his lips looking at his brother’s innocent face, if he didn’t remember he was the Viceroy of Xin Hua and an extraordinary Great King Realm he would have pinched him fondly. No matter how great he is, the child is still a young man who is just growing up.

But, eventually, Chen Ming couldn’t help himself and pinched Bai Ying’s cheek.

“This kid, do you really not know or are you just pretending not to know?”

Bai Ying groaned.

“Ah brother, its hurts” he touched his cheek while looking at his brother with sharp eyes.

The Crown Prince stood up from his seat, approached Bai Ying and took his hand, holding it.

“How dare they propose to the Viceroy, what do they have to match the Viceroy in strength, let alone the Realm King, do they really not know who they are facing now?”

Bai Ying let the Crown Prince pull him towards the door. Until Su Lang’s voice made his steps stop.

“Crown Prince Son Wa has the formidable ability to control the weather, he is gifted with unrivalled power from nature. Her Majesty the Queen herself has great respect for High King Son Wa and said she would consider it by informing the Viceroy in person.”

The Crown Prince stopped in his tracks. For a moment he turned his head towards Su Lang who lowered his head deeply and then looked at Bai Ying. When they really want to enjoy their trip more relaxed and longer, why is something like this coming and making them have to end their trip briefly?

“Your Highness”

.......

The sun was shining so bright but warm, it was neither too hot nor too cold. A gust of wind caressed Bai Ying’s long hair far away. The group had already continued their journey out of the Land Wind transit town towards the Dai Yang border.

At the back of the tavern halfway where the group rested.

Bai Ying couldn’t stop smiling as he watched the chicks lined up behind their hen passing in front of him. He lowered his body like a child watching the chickens wandering around in front of him.

“Ouh, you guys are so cute”

Crown Prince approached.

“Ying Ying, what are you doing squatting like that, look at your hair, hitting the ground,” said the Crown Prince who stretched out his hand in front of Bai Ying.

Bai Ying smiled so widely that all his eyes disappeared in a straight line parallel to his ears. That adorable face that Luo Xiang couldn’t leave his head, even seeing it every time he closed it, it was only Hua Bai Ying’s face that he loved so much.

He pulled Bai Ying’s hand until his entire body fell towards him.

“Ah, Your Highness”

Luo Xiang smiled mischievously, he hugged Bai Ying’s back waist making their bodies pressed together. Stroking his hair gently, caressing his delicate cheeks with porcelain flawless skin. Hua Bai Ying was indeed born perfect, though that wasn’t the only thing that made the Crown Prince never stop loving him, more than anything in this world.
