Chapter 146

146 ShinYa

“YingYing!”

LuoXiang exclaimed as he entered the room in Plum Pavilion, ever since he sent BaiYing back to his pavilion first while he was having a serious conversation with ShinYa, he couldn’t stand the man looking at BaiYing with shining eyes, too good for him. It was getting late and he couldn’t wait to return to Plum Pavilion, before long the young man emerged from inside his small room, approaching LuoXiang with a wide smiling face.

“Your Majesty, how was it? What did Master ShinYa say?” he asked.

LuoXiang took BaiYing’s hand and sat down together in front of the round table, he pinched BaiYing’s nose with a pair of big round eyes watching him with great impatience.

“You, so excited, have you eaten?”

BaiYing shook his head.

“Of course I haven’t, I’m waiting for Your Majesty, we always eat together, after all, eating alone doesn’t taste good, Sister FuLan accompanies her father to eat in her pavilion, and aYa, did Your Majesty forget, you forbid her from approaching servants.”

LuoXiang raised BaiYing’s hand and put it on his lap.

“Yeah yeah, sorry to keep you waiting, let’s eat, you must be really hungry.” He stood up and pulled BaiYing and with him towards the exit of the room.

.....

“What, that lord Shin answer everything Your Majesty asked?”

The two of them sat at a round table in the living room where dinner was immediately served by Yan and the other waiters.

“Tomorrow we will continue, that person is a bit strange, somehow I don’t really believe him”

BaiYing suppressed a smile, seeing LuoXiang who said that with a deep frown, of course, he didn’t believe it, when there was BaiYing in the room the man only saw BaiYing, even impudently touching BaiYing’s palm, under the pretext of wanting to read his lifeline, of course, LuoXiang was nervous, he threw the man’s hand away from his YingYing, looking at him with a pair of big glaring eyes, impudent, how dare that person, is he tired of living?

LuoXiang tucked the hair that had fallen on BaiYing’s forehead behind his ear.

“Here, don’t eat your own hair, this kid, are you still tired? How about your hand, does it still hurt? Then, you said your stomach wasn’t feeling well this morning, is it getting better?” all the questions of the Crown Prince, BaiYing smiled, he shook his head.

“It’s all right Your Majesty, I’m healthy, I can pull a kite today, have Your Majesty forgot?”

LuoXiang smiled, he raised his hand to caress BaiYing’s smooth cheek.

“You, look at your face, so adorable, how can I calmly let you play outside all day, what if you hurt yourself again, heh BaiYingYing”

BaiYing chuckled, he took his chopsticks and started eating, LuoXiang took a small bowl and filled it with BaiYing’s favorite vegetable and thrust it in front of him.

“Here, you have to eat more, these are all YingYing’s favorite foods, right?”

“Emm that one Your Highness, it’s looks delicious.”

LuoXiang took another bowl and filled it with tofu with thick gravy with mushroom mixture.

“It’s not spicy is it?”

BaiYing furrowed his brows thoughtfully,

“I don’t think so, Your Majesty, Sis Yan knows I can’t eat too spicy food.”

LuoXiang tasted it first.

“Em, it’s a bit sweet, here.”

BaiYing couldn’t help but laugh at how much the bowl was filled with.

“Hahaha, this is too much, Your Majesty, how can I finish all of them?”

“Just eat it, you are too skinny, look at your collarbone, tsk, it’s like not being taken care of, later that person will think his Prince is so poor that so skinny like this, he will think that the Crown Prince tortured you.”

“Since when does Your Majesty care what people say?” BaiYing asked as he stuffed the rice into his mouth.

“I don’t care, I only care about my dear YingYing, let’s just eat, it feels very sleepy, I want to sleep hugging my YingYing tonight, the air is also very cold”

BaiYing pushed LuoXiang’s shoulder who was very close to him.

“Your Majesty, my bed is already very small with your large body, I have no space left to sleep on”

“It’s not my fault, who told YingYing to sleep that far, just get closer is better and warmer too”

“Your Majesty” BaiYing annoyed.

The voices of the two were not stopped talking while enjoying their dinner, LuoXiang’s cheeks were rounded from the food that had entered his mouth couldn’t stop smiling at the sight of BaiYing’s face which he loved more than anything in this world, for him, his world was only BaiYingYing alone.

“Hehehe look at the rice on your lips” LuoXiang’s hand occasionally touched BaiYing’s lips and patted the boy’s crown passionately.

“Hehehe, this is delicious Your Majesty, give it a try,” said BaiYing, pinching the piece of meat and thrusting it into LuoXiang’s mouth who immediately devoured it with a big mouth.

“Oumm!”

.......................

“The WahYe Kingdom was once one of the strongest countries in the economic field, its geographical location and fertile land contours, clean water and cold air made the country occupy the number one position as the country with the largest trade income, even it is said that WahYe is a very rich country, so rich that there are no poor people surrounding, according to my grandfather, who told all these things from his own mouth, WahYe also has citizens with beautiful faces and smart brains, so smart that every political negotiation of that country will succeed in embracing all countries to sided with him, until, at that time, the fifth month of the year of the Water Dragon, a big problem came from a neighboring country who was eager to ally with WahYe at all costs, even by marrying the first Princess of WahYe country to the Emperor in power at that time, His Majesty the Emperor LuoWang” said ShinYa , who was sitting in the study of the Eagle pavilion continued his story,

BaiYing who was sitting beside LuoXiang listening intently, his eyes were big round seeing ShinYa so serious that the Crown Prince had to nudge him to get him to take his eyes off the young man whose face was quite handsome, pale clean skin, with a pair of light brown eyes slightly grey, light brown hair with thin red lips, it is said that WahYe country has citizens with very beautiful faces, and it is true, LuoXiang will not be strange to see BaiYing’s face which is so sweet and handsome at the same time with many genes from WahYe citizens and a little charm from YueYang.

BaiYing looked at the face of the Crown Prince who seemed to be looking at him with a bit of anger, what else with that person? In the midst of a serious conversation, how could he ever glare at him like that, he’s not going to pay attention to him.

“Does, you know what caused Emperor LuoWang to attack and destroy WahYe palace overnight?” LuoXiang asked again.

ShinYa lowered his head in salute.

“Forgive me, Your Majesty, for this matter, even my grandfather, General Shin is not sure what the motive is, but according to rumors circulating, it was because Emperor LuoWang was furious because of the annulment of the marriage between him and the first Princess WahYe, it said because a citizen of the WahYe kingdom kidnapped the princess on her wedding night, and, it was discovered that Her Majesty the Princess was already two months pregnant, feeling betrayed and foolishly lied to, Her Majesty the LuoWang Emperor was furious, that’s, a rumor circulating because only members of the royal family knew for sure about the main reason, His Majesty the Great King YenHui and Her Majesty the Queen spent their old age in seclusion in the Blue palace and it is unknown how he is doing, the latest news is that he died of old age in the Blue Palace.”

LuoXiang took a deep breath, dying of old age in a foreign land, really not a pleasant feeling, especially, as the ruler of a Big country who inevitably has to submit to the higher power, LuoXiang turned to BaiYing, seeing the boy who was listening so seriously that his face was dispirited, he took out his mother’s necklace which was hanging around his neck and looked at it for a long time.

“What about the offspring? What, the core palace family still has other descendants besides BaiYing?” LuoXiang asked again.

ShinYa neither nodded nor shook his head, he just held his breath before answering the question.

“Heh this, before meeting His Highness the Prince, I thought that the core palace family no longer existed, meaning, I will spend my time being blind for life when I step foot out of my ramshackle house, but, as predicted by my father, if one day, I will find a pure descendant of King WahYe, who will bring WahYe out of the darkness”

“That would not be possible happen now Lord Shin, Kingdom of WahYe is already extinct and scattered everywhere, how can the country those who have no foundation will be able to re-emerge after a long absence?” said Luo Xiang.

ShinYa lowered his head in salute.

“Your Majesty, but, coming out of the darkness does not mean reviving the extinct Country of WahYe, at least, it gives hope to the citizens who are still faithfully waiting, even though, it is no longer possible to return to the past, and the peaceful life in YueYang also makes all people think of enjoying their lives as happy YueYang citizens, although, for some, there might still be those who think of rebelling.”

“Your Majesty, coming out of the darkness does not mean reviving the extinct Country of WahYe, at least, it gives hope to the citizens who are still faithfully waiting, even though, it is no longer possible to return to the past, and the peaceful life in YueYang also makes all people think of enjoying their lives as happy YueYang citizens, although, for some, there might still be those who think of rebelling.”

BaiYing raised his head, looked at ShinYa, wiping the tears that had involuntarily fallen down his cheeks.

“Then, is, because of that Mother, became a victim? Because Mother refuses to rebel?” he asked, ShinYa looked at BaiYing, he slowly nodded.

“That possibility, it might be, Your Majesty, if Her Highness the Princess, may know who the person who will launch a rebellion, so to keep her mouth shut, that person kill Princess.”

Best

BaiYing held his mother’s necklace pendant tightly, his chest is hurt, imagining how his mother was, who was so gentle in his eyes and memory had to be a victim of her own citizens, perhaps even, her own family.
