CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE
Chapter 396

396 Sightseeing.

“Akh brother what does innocence have to do with that? This big brother denigrates Ying er’s name in front of so many people” Bai Ying said annoyed.

Li Mo couldn’t help but laugh at Bai Ying’s adorable face, the two of them even started to argue.

“That’s the truth, how do you know if someone wants to harm you? Such an innocent child”

“Your Majesty, look, big brother is bullying me” cried Bai Ying seeking help from the Crown Prince.

Luo Xiang couldn’t help but smile, but Bai Ying’s face was so cute that he couldn’t help pinching his nose.

“Never mind my round bunny, don’t make a fuss”

“Your Majesty”

Bai Ying just pursed his lips unable to win against Chen Ming who mocked him but still look very calm, unlike him.

“Well Uncle Li, what about that girl? Like uncle’s story, that girl has been in this house for ten years, and no one knows the origin of the girl before being brought home by late Big Lord Li and being his servant until the end of his life.”

.....

Li Mo thought.

“Heh, even though that child is a bit strange, she is just a weak girl, what can be suspected from her?”

“What, isn’t there anyone else we can ask? People who have been in this house for a long time, long before uncle came back here” asked Luo Xiang.

Li Mo nodded his head as if he was right in thinking about the person the Crown Prince was referring to.

“There, maybe one, we need to ask Uncle Lo, he was an old servant, who retired just before I returned to this house, according to Ne Ma. Sometime after Big Master found A Er, old man Lo resigned to retire. He worked as a servant long since I was young, so I quite a bit lost him when he went, if Your Majesty is willing, we can visit his hut, Uncle Lo lives a bit far in the small village near the mountain, and his bone is too old to be able to have long distances walking. ”

.....

The rosy afternoon sky above the Li family mansion.

The Li family mansion complex was very spacious.

There is one large main house with dozens of rooms in the building, a large hall, living room, and family room. Not far beside the main house building, there is a small building which is a kitchen, warehouse, and also rooms for house workers. Not far to the side with a separate wall and one large gate for the family to enter was the mansion where the Li family’s eldest son and his family lived. Then there are two to three large villa buildings, one of which is now occupied by the Crown Prince’s entourage and the other, a large two-story bungalow with dozens of rooms.

And among all the buildings, of course, a big yard with green grass, shady trees of various types of plants colourful flowers, with a beautiful garden. Complete with a lotus pond for relaxing.

Of course, there was still a courtyard at the back which was separated by a wall and other entrances, where the Li family kept their horses and pets.

Luo Xiang took Bai Ying’s hand and walked slowly through the small pond located in the backyard of the Li family’s mansion.

“This place is very beautiful Your Majesty, well, all the places we visited are indeed beautiful.”

Luo Xiang pulled Bai Ying’s hand so that the two of them walked side by side.

“Yeah, as long as Ying Ying is around, all places are looks pretty.”

Bai Ying smiled sheepishly at the Crown Prince’s cheesy remarks with sparkling eyes that looked at him like he was a very delicious meal.

“Your Highness, You really a sweet talker”

Luo Xiang smiled. Swinging his hand that held Bai Ying’s hand tightly.

“Heh, that’s the truth, any place in this world no matter how beautiful it is would be meaningless without my Ying Ying, heh, how come I, the Crown Prince lied.”

Bai Ying pushed Crown Prince’s hand.

“Your Majesty, stop it, you’ve been talking sweetly since then.”

The Crown Prince chuckled, he stopped his steps and pulled Bai Ying’s body close to him. Without the boy thinking about what the big man going to do.

“Your Majesty, we are outside”

“Then? What’s wrong with being outside, is my Ying Ying feel embarrassed?”

Bai Ying couldn’t move in the Crown Prince’s arms whose huge body hugged him tightly.

“Em...” Bai Ying looked around, there were indeed a few maids walking around in the backyard, but no one dared to look at them.

As Bai Ying was busy looking around, the Crown Prince kissed his cheek.

“Chup”

Bai Ying widened his eyes.

“Your Majesty”

And Luo Xiang was even more excited to see Bai Ying’s face turning red with embarrassment. The boy tried to get out of his grip.

“Your Majesty, if anyone sees us, they will say Your Majesty is a big pervert”

“I want to know if anyone dares to speak, I will cut their tongue, theres nothing is wrong with being perverted with my own concubine, why is Ying Ying still embarrassed?”

Luo Xiang was very satisfied teasing his little concubine.

“Hehehehe”

The two continued on their way through the back garden with many beautiful plants and the lotus pond with a small pavilion, at the end of the wooden bridge above the lotus pond which was probably half the size of the pond in the Peony Valley in the Crown Prince’s palace. The atmosphere is very calm with various sounds from the birds flying around the small pavilion and up to the branches of a large plum tree by the pond whose branches grow all the way to the pavilion. The flying wind carried the plum petals flying far away.

Lord Li Mo was very fond of the beautiful plants of the Yue Yang central plains, especially those that grew in the capital and the Imperial Palace. When he back to his city, he made a miniature that resembled a palace complete with plum trees that were brought directly from there.

“Wow, this is very beautiful, the colour is brighter, different from the one in the palace, Your Majesty,” said Bai Ying, reaching out his hand to catch the petals of the plum blossoms that were blown by the wind towards him, some even falling on his hair.

“This flower petal likes you, look at your head” Luo Xiang stretched out his hand to pick up some petals that fell on top of Bai Ying’s head, tangling above his hair.

Bai Ying smiled, he remembered that he had also enjoyed this kind of atmosphere in the past, it was like going back in time when a strong wind blew and dry leaves fell on the Crown Prince’s head.

Bai Ying couldn’t stop smiling, the world seemed to have stopped spinning, whatever happened, all was meaningless, and now there were only the two of them in this very lonely world.

“Hehehe Your Majesty, look at Your Majesty’s hair, it looks so beautifully decorated with pretty flowers, Master Li Mo is really good at choosing the plants, he made a very beautiful garden with all of these trees”

Luo Xiang smiled, he grabbed a whole flower that fell right next to his seat.

“This beautiful flower? Erm, let me take a look.”

He gently tucked the flower behind Bai Ying’s ear, his delicate face matched the pink flower so well. Luo Xiang couldn’t stop looking, lifted Bai Ying’s hand and kissed it gently.

“Chup”

“Apparently, my Ying Ying is prettier, how is it? Should I also plant more of you so I can continue to enjoy your beauty all the time?”

Bai Ying pushed the Crown Prince’s hand that was holding his hand.

“Your Majesty, Ying er is not a tree, how can I be planted?”

But Luo Xiang did not let go of his grip.

“Then what should we do about it? My Ying Ying’s face is more pretty than all these fallen flowers, ouch, I’m not content to only see you once, how about, if big brother sees you all the time, erm, planting you in my office, in the backyard, the front yard, the peony garden”

“Your Majesty please stop teasing Ying er”

Luo Xiang finally laughed loudly, he became a very perverted and talkative Luo Xiang in front of his concubine, really not his usual self, he couldn’t stop laughing while holding Bai Ying’s hand tightly and won’t let go although both hands are sweaty.

“Hahahaha”

The sky is getting darker. Looks how fast the time flies, Crown Prince and Bai Ying had already walked to enjoy the scenery in the Li family’s compound which cant be finished for half a day. Although not as large as the Crown Prince’s palace, but going around the mansion was quite tiring too.

Luo Xiang took Bai Ying’s hand and walked slowly back to the bungalow where they were staying.

“Is Ying Ying tired? I haven’t massaged your feet in a long time, how about tonight, I’ll help you?”
