CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

Soon after that. Luo Xiang and Bai Ying had already walked back towards their bungalow. Time to pack up and head to General Po’s residence with the others. Luo Xiang took Bai Ying’s hand and rocked him all the way to the bungalow.

“Your Majesty, let’s stop by the city first, I want to buy that delicious beef jerky again, I’ve been dreaming of eating it for a long time” Bai Ying said.

Luo Xiang pinched Bai Hig’s cheek exasperatedly.

“This brat, how can you remember such details while you forget about your beloved bother, are you just pretending to forget me, huh?”

Bai Ying pursed his lips. He scratched his head.

“Please forgive me, Your Majesty, but I don’t remember anything about us. When it comes to beef jerky, it’s probably because I often dream about it, so I can remember it so well, hehe” Bai Ying’s innocent answer made Luo Xiang couldn’t keep an annoyed face at the kid for long, he pinched his nose again.

“This brat, is it just food that’s in your head?”

Several people in the back were seen following the Crown Prince and Bai Ying towards the guest bungalow. Elder Yi and General Po were seen walking together.

.....

“Old general, you know this match requires a lot of space and food, have you prepared it? Your residence is also not a public place that everyone can enter right?” asked Elder Yi.

General Po chuckled as he stroked his chin.

“Hehehe, inevitably I have to do it Elder Yi, do you think we have any other choice at this time? My private residence was only one small house behind the mansion and a guest house for the Crown Prince and Xiao Ying, the rest were guest houses, soldiers’ residences and study rooms, so all of those places could basically be used for any event. You can come live with me in my private residence, the others will occupy a guest house where people rarely visit these days, it’s time for the workers at home who are usually relaxed to work a little harder for this competition.”

Elder Yi chuckled at General Po’s words.

“Hehe, that’s right, and I heard the full moon in Xian Yang is the moon with the largest shape, we can sit down drinking wine and enjoy the moon right? Do you still keep your best wine at home?” asked the young but old man.

General Po chuckled, he frowned thoughtfully.

“Hehehe of course, um, but I don’t know what our tastes are with Elder Yi, I have a lot of good wine that I don’t want to drink and I deliberately save it for events like this, this would be really fun, sitting staring at the moon”

Both of them laughed loudly enough that it sounded far.

“ha ha ha ha”

The competition finally continued at general Po’s residence which was half a day’s drive away. The next day before noon the group arrived at General Po’s residence even before the sun was directly over the head.

Bai Ying was impatiently heading to his room which was in the building behind General Po’s private house. In the past General Po had purposely built the house for Bai Ying to live in if he wanted to live there, ever since all the Hua family members were killed and there was no place he could consider home, that was before Bai Ying’s family finally found him and now he has many places he can call it home.

“Come on Your Majesty, let’s go to our room and rest, Ying can’t wait to take a bath all day, let’s go” Bai Ying shouted pulling Bai Ying’s hand towards his room.

Luo Xiang pulled Bai Ying’s hand to stop him from walking.

“Hey kid, later on, I still have a meeting with the other elders in the front hall. You should rest in the room and wait for big brother to come back, okay?”

Bai Ying pursed his lips.

“But Your Majesty, we just arrived, why is there another meeting, it’s so boring. Then Ying will also come out later, it’s impossible to wait for His Majesty in the room without doing anything, it must be boring.”

Luo Xiang took Bai Ying’s hand and kissed it.

“Chup, as long as you don’t do anything weird, big brother will be back soon.”

Bai Ying smiled. He nodded.

“Ready Your Majesty”

The sky that afternoon was quite clear. The small river located outside the city limits of Xian Yang had just been crossed by many horses’ hooves which made the previously clear river flow cloudy. Quite a number of people had already made their way across the river to Xian Yang city. Judging from their posture and weapons hanging on their waists, they certainly weren’t like the farmers or hunters who usually passed there. Their faces look foreign, with slightly dark skin and large stature resembling giants. With the size of a tall horse stomping the dusty road into the crowd, towards the high gates of Xian Yang city.

“Hiaa-hiaaa!”

Bai Ying and Bi walked to enjoy the warm air in the late afternoon. The meeting, which was said to be short, turned out to be quite long. And Bai Ying was already very tired of waiting. Even his older brother Chen Ming joined the meeting as an invited guest. Bai Ying briefly looked towards the hall. The atmosphere of the meeting looked very boring, how could he possibly sit inside for a long time, he could die of boredom.

“Em, Your Majesty, what are they talking about?” asked Bi.

Bai Ying shrugged his shoulders, he didn’t know.

“I don’t know, that must look really boring.”

Bai Ying who was standing behind a wooden peg trying to look into the hall turned around.

“Come on Sis, let’s go to the back lake.”

Bi immediately followed Bai Ying.

“But Your Majesty, according to His Majesty the Crown Prince, we must not be too far from the villa, what if His Majesty the Crown Prince looks for and does not find Your Majesty, he will be furious” said Bi.

Bai Ying pursed his lips.

“Well, we’ll be back soon, it won’t be long, come on, Ying wants to see the rabbit that Grandpa keeps, which he said is to accompany Ying to play, how many do you think they have multiple now?”

Bi widened her eyes.

“There’s a rabbit, Your Majesty?”

Bai Ying nodded.

“Yes, there are also ponies, erm, goats, grandfather made a small farm in the back for his grandkids who came to visit, come on sis”

Bi immediately followed Bai Ying who was half running towards the path leading out of the villa area, they headed towards the valley direction.

“Your Majesty please don’t run too fast”

While they were busy walking, Bai Ying and Bi found the members of the White Cloud clan, some of whom had come to help the workers at General Po’s residence. The youth stopped in his tracks when he saw Xu er and the others.’

“Eh brother Xu, where are you guys from?” Bai Ying asked cheerfully.

Xu er stopped in his tracks and bowed his head before Bai Ying.

“Greetings You.. er, I mean, young master, would you like to take a walk?” he asked.

Bai Ying nodded.

“Of course, the air is very good here, um, are you guys busy?” he asked.

Xu Er nodded.

“That’s, Your.. er young master, we are preparing dinner for everyone, after this, we will head to the city to buy food supplies”

Bai Ying’s eyes widened at what Xu er said.

“To the city? You want to go shopping?” he asked excitedly.

Xu er stuttered, not expecting Bai Ying’s reaction to being so excited.

“Eh, that’s right.”

Bai Ying’s eyes lit up.

“Hehe, then, can Ying ask you to stop by old man Lau’s beef jerky shop? Ying really wants to eat beef jerky.”

Xu er smiled, he had never seen eyes so bright when talking about something, the young man in front of him loved beef jerky so much that his eyes were filled with love.

“Hehe of course Young master, servant and others of course can stop by anywhere, just feel free to tell me what else young master needs, and we will buy it for you”

Bai Ying thought, what else does he need? Apart from the delicious beef jerky, he didn’t seem to need anything else.

“Hehe that’s all Brother, thank you.”

After Xu er and the others left, Bai Ying and Bi continued on their way to the valley.

But Bai Ying’s steps stopped, from quite a distance he seemed to see some people he was quite familiar with near the trees.

“Sis, there is someone there, um, they look like people we know.” Bai Ying approached and stood behind a big tree. At a time like this, all the competition participants were gathered in the hall, then what were those two doing there? Bai Ying stood behind the tree and looked at the two people who were talking in small voices. Bai Ying recognized the figure in black who was none other than Du Gu Ye Wang.
