529 My Love

West Dragon Pavilion.,

The wind passes softly swaying the silk curtain by the room window. The sun has risen on the east horizon and peeks shyly with the warm light that hits the room to the bed. The beautiful bed, with gold embroidery on the bed sheet and soft fluffy pillow, shining sparkling beads decorates the bed which bit sway cheerfully by the wind.

The sparkling beads reflect the sun’s light and play around the room with the colourful lights.

A beautiful, white smooth back, the wind pushed the silk clothes which almost fell from the back who sleeps with his chest face the bed. A bright face with perfect shape, flawless skin, and beautiful reddish fluffy lips, that young man looks stunning even when he still falls asleep like that. That makes the Crown Prince moves slowly to the bed and kiss the back gently.

Chup.

Not just one, but more and more, his big hand touches the very soft skin carefully, not letting it disturb by his rough hand.

Chup chup chup.

Bai Ying opened his eyes, and look at the Crown Prince’s face which are so close to him.

“Your Majesty”

.....

Luo Xiang smiled and stroked the young man to reveal his forehead.

“Hey, did I just woke you?”

Bai Ying moves his body and faces the Crown Prince above him.

“Do Your Majesty going to the field again today?” asked Bai Ying.

Luo Xiang nodded, he did all the preparation including his suit for the competition that day.

“Yes, this will be the last day, you can come and watch the final with His Majesty the Emperor and Second Prince, but, I warned you, don’t seat near them, or else Brother will be so jealous”

Bai Ying and the Crown Prince stared at each other for a long time. And the Crown Prince would never be satisfied to stare at his very sweet and adorable concubine whom he loved more than anything in this world until he tilted his head to kiss Bai Ying’s lips. But the young man pushed the Crown Prince’s chest away from him.

“Your Majesty, what is Your Majesty doing, you said you’re going to the field by now”

Luo Xiang cant averts his eyes from Bai Ying, the young man raised his hand to prevent him from getting closer.

“Em, but how can I do it? At now Brother doesn’t have the capability to compete, every time I think about how much I miss this very attractive little concubine, I feel like I’m running out of energy”

Bai Ying pulled her lips.

“What? Who told Your Majesty to not allow Ying er to watch, whose fault is it?”

Luo Xiang pursed his lips sadly, he dropped his head on Bai Ying’s waist and hugged him spoiled.

“Oh, Ying Ying, everything is beyond brother’s control, if possible Brother really wants my Ying Ying to be on the field and give me encouragement”

Bai Ying pursed his lips, he couldn’t believe the two-faced Crown Prince, sometimes he was so sweet but some other times he scolded him and even had the heart to throw him out, what was really going on in his mind?

However, Bai Ying couldn’t deny it, he felt that he knew the Crown Prince well enough to feel it was okay if he scolded him sometimes, even though, it was a bit annoying too.

Bai Ying raised his hand, stroking the Crown Prince’s head which was above his waist.

“Em, Your Majesty, there is something Ying Ying wants to ask, erm” Bai Ying’s words were stifled, it made Luo Xiang lift his head and look at Bai Ying for a long time, he lifted Bai Ying’s hand and kissed it.

“What’s wrong my Ying Ying? Just ask, Brother, will answer all your questions”

Bai Ying stuttered, the Crown Prince already grabbed his hand and kept kissing it, put his palm to his cheek and looked at it for a long time.

“Em...” Bai Ying’s tongue was numb, even though he wanted to ask and the question was already at the tip of his tongue, he couldn’t get it out.

“Um, better ask it later, after the match is over.”

Luo Xiang smiled, lifted his body and sat on the edge of the bed.

“Is there something that makes my Ying Ying restless? Okay, just ask when you’re ready, Brother will answer everything” said Luo Xiang caressing Bai Ying’s cheek.

He knew the boy must have lots of questions about how they used to be, about how the Crown Prince could love him so much. He must be confused right now, so much has appeared and all of them are pressing against his memories buried deep inside his heart.

Luo Xiang smiled, he lifted his body and kissed Bai Ying’s forehead gently.

“Chup”

“Does Ying want to back to sleeping? Brother will leave for the field soon, don’t forget, come with the others this afternoon, okay? Brother will be the winner for my Ying Ying” Luo Xiang whispered.

Bai Ying nodded.

“Of course Your Majesty”

The Crown Prince couldn’t stop smiling, he got up and was about to leave, however, Bai Ying’s hand was still holding him. The youth pulled his body up and hugged the Crown Prince’s waist.

“Your Majesty”

In Bai Ying’s memory, he had once hugged the Crown Prince like that, and it felt, it was so comfortable, that he wanted to feel all those warm feelings back.

Luo Xiang was stunned in place, holding Bai Ying’s two hands that wrapped around his waist, slowly turning his body to see Bai Ying who was hugging him so tightly that he closed his eyes.

“Ying”

“Your Majesty, Ying, just want to say, that, it doesn’t matter if Your Majesty will have more concubines, just don’t drive Ying out of here, let Ying er stay by Your Majesty’s side, Ying will satisfy even just occupied the Pavilion on the very back of the Palace”

Luo Xiang smiled, the boy, he didn’t know how long he had waited for him to speak like that.

“Ying Ying, how could big brother let you stay at the back palace?”

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Bai Ying opened his eyes, got up from the bed and saw the Crown Prince stroking his head gently.

“Your Majesty, really?”

Luo Xiang nodded.

“Of course, doesn’t Ying Ying believe that I love you so much? How could Brother let you stay at the very back and secluded pavilion behind the palace?”

Bai Ying pursed his lips.

“Em, actually, that, what sister Fan er and sister Lan er said, that if in the future, when Your Majesty has a new concubine, Your Majesty will definitely forget about us, Ying and the sisters will be shifted to the back palace, erm, Ying can actually just go back to Xin Hua palace, but, how about sister Lan er and sister Fan er? They couldn’t possibly go back to their house, right? In fact, being a concubine was a once-in-a-lifetime job for them, unlike Ying er. And on second thought, actually living in the back palace wasn’t that bad either, at least Ying and the sisters could play cards and have nice days together, As long as the new concubine doesn’t bully us”

Luo Xiang stuttered, what was he thinking? What did the boy say?

“Em, Ying Ying meant.”

Bai Ying nodded.

“Yes Your Majesty, find a concubine or Queen who will be very kind to Ying and the sisters, if possible we can play cards together”

Luo Xiang swallowed his saliva whole. It felt like pinching the boy’s cheeks in annoyance, he was too innocent, did he really not have that love for him anymore?

“Then, what, Ying Ying really willing that big brother, have a new concubine again? Even if it means, big brother will love someone else too, in the end, maybe I would forget our love?” Luo Xiang asked.

Bai Ying looked at the Crown Prince deeply, he pursed his lips, it had to be, being a Crown Prince, especially an Emperor, it was his prerogative that he could have many concubines at once. Like His Majesty the Emperor, he had so many concubines that he even forgot who he had slept with, even if someone had left him he would not know. Bai Ying had to accept that fact even if it was so hard for him.

“Well, it can’t be helped Your Majesty, that..”

Luo Xiang pulled Bai Ying in his arms and hugged him very tightly.

“Y-Your Majesty”

“In the future, if big brother happens to forget my love for my Ying Ying, let this brother of yours die in the most pathetic way”

Bai Ying’s eyes widened, he was about to let go of his embrace to stop the Crown Prince’s words, but the Crown Prince tightened his arms.

“Brother, can’t imagine when that happens, my Ying Ying”

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty shouldn’t talk like that, Ying really understands what the position of a Crown Prince is especially an Emperor, so Your Majesty doesn’t have to feel sorry about it, Ying truly understands that.”

Luo Xiang held his breath, has Ying Ying’s feelings really changed towards him? Will, he cannot get Ying Ying’s love back to how it used to be?

“Heh Ying Ying” he kissed Bai Ying’s forehead and keep hugging him tight.
