CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE
Chapter 354

354 Su’s Mansion

“So next time don’t run away again, this brat.” ChenMing gently caressed BaiYing’s forehead, brushing his hair over his forehead, caressing his cheek.

“Heh, how can this charming-looking little brother walk around in a public place, of course, everyone will be attracted when they see you for the first time, how can big brother calmly let you out on the street? Heh”

ChenMing sat down for a while, arched his chin looking at BaiYing’s sleeping face for a long time, he didn’t want to disturb his sleep, but, he couldn’t sleep in this position, the boy would scream for back pain when he woke up later, and, BaiYing who is now sleeping soundly looked very peaceful as his delicate face, unlike HuaBaiYing who always being noisy like a firecracker. Realizing that, ChenMing smiled.

“Hehe this kid”

GeLu and several other maids could only wait patiently outside the carriage, no one dared to move an inch without the Prince’s orders, all lined up neatly in front of the carriage beside their horses. Until soon ChenMing emerged from inside the carriage while carrying BaiYing who was still soundly asleep, GeLu help him down from the carriage.

SuLang lowered his head to make way for ChenMing.

“Please Your Highness”

ChenMing glanced at Yan and Bi.

“You guys take Ying’er’s clothes, he has been wearing these clothes for two days, his body must be very itchy, and you guys immediately prepare the bathwater for him”

.....

The maids lowered their knees with their heads bowed deeply, replied simultaneously.

“Yes, Your Majesty”

....

Night fell, the Su family villa was very quiet. In the living room, Prince ChenMing and Head of Guard GeLu and Young Master Su were already enjoying their dinner, while BaiYing who had just woken up and finished his bath came down from the second floor and approached with his two maids beside him.

ChenMing frowned seeing BaiYing’s languid face approaching, he pulled his younger brother’s hand to sit beside him.

“Hey kid, why don’t you just stay in the room? Brother will bring dinner for you, I thought you still want to sleep longer so I didn’t wake you up”

The young man did look tired, also it because of his brother there, so his spoiled nature appeared, though he had never felt this tired before.

“Heh yeah Ying is feeling sleepy brother, but, Ying is also hungry”

ChenMing smiled, he pinched BaiYing’s nose which dropped his head on his shoulder.

“This kid, let’s sit up straight, how can you eat like this?” said ChenMing caressed the kid’s cheek gently.

BaiYing puffed out his mouth.

“Yes brother”

“Here, this is your favourite dish, your maid cant wait to make it for you, eat more,” said ChenMing put the fried fish in BaiYing’s bowl. BaiYing turns his head to his maids, smiling widely at them.

“Hehehe, my sister so cares about Ying’er, thanks sisters”

The maids can’t hold back their smiles, BaiYing’s eyes while looking at them was more than enough for them.

SuLang can’t resist always taking a look, BaiYing’s smiling face indeed stunned him, but, look at his side, where his brother ChenMing already stare at him as if he would eat him, SuLang turn his gaze off.

BaiYing was just about to enjoy the food that had already filled his bowl when he heard a voice from outside the room.

“Stop!” The sound of GeLu’s men exclaiming, made ChenMing raise his head to look at GeLu.

“Please forgive me, but, Servant is the owner of this house” a male voice, Young Master Su immediately stood up from his seat, clearly he recognized the voice, he turned to Prince ChenMing.

“Pardon me, Your Majesty, but, it is possible, that is my father.”

ChenMing looked at GeLu, nodding his head.

Before long, a middle-aged man with a charismatic face, clean skin with a slightly stocky body was already kneeling in front of ChenMing.

“Greetings, Your Majesty the Prince, may Your Majesty always live long, please forgive servant for being presumptuous and coming uninvited, but, I really can’t stand to see His Majesty the Prince who is willing to come to visit this ramshackle house of mine, this, what a blessing” the man spoke in a slightly trembling voice, he held back his emotions, almost not believing who was already in his house.

ChenMing waved his hand asking the man and his son to stand up.

“Please stand up Lord Su”

“Thank you, Your Majesty”

“Please feel free Lord Su, it is Us who should be grateful for being allowed to live in this beautiful house, this is a fortune”

BaiYing who was eating with his mouth full nodded.

“Emm”

Grand Master Su, SuPing looked at ChenMing, and BaiYing who was sitting behind him, frowned at the shining face of the young man who was enjoying his meal so much.

“And he is”

“Oh this, this is my brother, we will only stay overnight here, and, actually I have not thanked Young Master Su yet for protecting my brother during the journey from SuiLian, according to my brother, during the trip Young Master Su was very responsible on protecting him, you raised a very good boy” continued ChenMing.

SuPing looked at his son, he was still angry at his rotten son for failing to pass the final test as a Minister, even though he had already passed all the exams, according to news from old man Bao his son’s personal servant who was with him that day. SuLang realized that he didn’t dare to raise his head to see his father’s furious face.

SuPing took a deep breath.

“I’m really ashamed, my son sometimes has a bad temper, he is too stubborn and thinks with his hands before his brain, that’s why it’s so hard for him to take the state exam, even though he is very smart, heh, I’m begging for mercy on behalf of my son for offending the Prince”

ChenMing smiles, he may have misjudged the young man, he looked submissive and kept quiet, BaiYing thought the youth was acting heroically trying to protect him from young master ShiShen’s attacks, unbelievable, they have an arrogant Young Minister like ShiShen but, that may be only one chance, as old man Su said, young people tend to be arbitrary, of course, not including him. ChenMing himself was only twenty years old but he was required to grow up because of his status, how could he act arbitrarily.

“That’s not a big problem, Lord Su, this old man’s son, has enough potential, in my opinion, one day he can become a great and fair official for his people, Lord Su should be proud of him”

SuLang who heard ChenMing’s words did not expect the prince to speak well about himself, after what he had done in the palace, but, when he lifted his face, found BaiYing’s broad smile on his face, of course, with the boy’s words, his brother would surely believe whatever he said.

“Hehehe”

Time moves so fast.

ChenMing didn’t realize that big master Su and SuLang were talking until late at night.

“I heard, that, Your Highness the Prince intends to go to CuiAn, if I may ask, what is Your Majesty planning to do there? CuiAn City is currently in a state of emergency, since the landslide, as well as the local earthquake that rocked the XiaoWu forest, all the residents have fled to the safe place, if Your Majesty visits the border of SuChou city, SuChou city officials and the Su family have already set up refugee camps for the residents of CuiAn and its surroundings.”

ChenMing who was enjoying his evening tea lowered the cup onto the table, looking at the back of BaiYing who had been sitting on the back porch since the dinner was over, enjoying the night air accompanied by his two maids.

“Are all the citizens really evacuating out of CuiAn?” Chen Ming asked.

SuPing nodded.

“That’s right, Your Majesty, some of the remaining people are people whose families were affected by the disaster as well as people who are helping to replace victims, but, so far the disaster has been overcome because many residents have managed to get out safely, Your Highness the Prince just tell us who Your Majesty is looking for, we will help to replace them” continued the old man.

Chen Ming thought.

“That’s not necessary, Lord Su, we were just carrying out an errand from XinHua Palace to inspect the location, and coincidentally, the Little Prince did know people in the area, while looking for them himself, the latest news is that his acquaintance was probably trapped in the middle of a landslide in the forest and couldn’t get out.”

SuLang who heard ChenMing’s words widened his eyes, he glanced at BaiYing who was sitting outside.

“Then, let me introduce persons who are very familiar with the location of the XiaoWu forest, it is said that the XiaoWu forest was named after the mystical creature that dwells in the valley, namely XiaoWu, the giant hare that sleeps under the valley, and recently, due to the turmoil above the ground. This makes XiaoWu restless, and the valley is very deep and it is almost impossible to replace a way out if you leave the path, so Your Majesty needs someone who really knows the location.”

ChenMing nodded, that’s right, don’t let them get lost when they enter the forest and couldn’t even save anyone.

“That’s a good idea Lord Su, we would be very helpful if Lord Su could introduce peoples who really knows the fields”
