CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

“Aww, Your Highness why are you flicking me? This hurts” Bai Ying whimpered.

Luo Xiang was still glaring at him with his two big eyes as if ready to jump out.

“This brat, I have been looking for you for four months, without stopping, trying to find traces of you no matter how small. Big brother was so sure you were around here that he didn’t wait for you in Xian Yang, what if big brother really was waiting for you there, would you be able to keep your promise?”

Bai Ying stuttered, scratching his head as if he didn’t understand what the Crown Prince was saying.

“What is Your Highness talking about, it’s clear that Ying er just left not a month ago, and entered this valley for about four days, how could it be that four months have passed? Did, Your Highness might be hallucinating huh? Let Ying er help heal you, which wound still hurts, the sting wound or the scratch?” asked Bai Ying checking Luo Xiang’s hand.

Luo Xiang pulled his lips, was this kid telling the truth or was he just teasing him? He knew him very well, it seemed that a child as innocent as this would not lie. Then, what actually happened?

“This is not right, it can’t be this easy, according to Mr. Shin Ya’s test given by the old, wrinkled, and ugly White Fox, are not this easy, Ying er doesn’t even have to fight a bit, there must be something wrong. Last time we had to face Empress Yu Yan and almost lost our lives. Nothing is easy right?”

Bai Ying seemed excited to say this and stopped when he saw the White Fox’s figure already in front of him, looking at him with a pair of piercing silver eyes.

.....

“Rotten child, who are you calling an ugly White Fox?”

Luo Xiang retracted his leg and sat up when he saw a figure dressed in shining white appear before him. A handsome, at the same time beautiful young man. It is said that the White Fox is the most beautiful creature ever created by the goddess. A beautiful, agile little fox, who one day entered the goddess’ resting room and instantly made the goddess fall in love with its beauty. His eyes are silver, with a slightly bluish left eye and a slightly red right eye. It was the figure of the man who was now standing in front of him, and he could tell right away that he was the White Fox from the energy he was emitting.

“Uh, you”

Luo Xiang was still stuttering when Bai Ying stood up from his seat and approached the fox.

“Well, who else? Are there any other foxes here?” Bai Ying asked a little sarcastically. He looked at the White Fox with big eyes.

“Oh yeah, old man, what does His Majesty mean by four months? Tell him that Ying er has only been here for five days, right? Have you perhaps done something to him? Why is he talking weirdly? Did you poison him? Or curse it? Has all the energy inside been lost? Or.. emm, what’s the most tragic, huh?” the boy thought for a moment.

White Fox, Bai Hu just rolled his eyes up, it was this kid who was weird in his opinion, why didn’t he stop talking earlier?

“Hey” he smacked his forehead lightly.

“This kid is really troublesome”

.......

Beautiful sky. Colorful with lots of lanterns of all shapes and sizes that are released to fly to decorate the sky which becomes very crowded. Luo Xiang gripped Bai Ying’s hand tightly. Walking side by side while looking at the sky full of lanterns, among them, were theirs.

“Wow, it’s so pretty, Your Majesty”

The White Fox Valley became crowded with lanterns, all released by the White Fox’s pet fairies that inhabited the White Fox Valley. These tiny fairies resembled a normal human form, having rather long faces, with large eyes, small noses, and small lips. Sharp tips of ears, colorful hair the length of their bodies, and small invisible wings.

At first glance, the little fairies resemble cute little girls, but they have many abilities, such as sowing plants, spreading grass seeds to flowers in the valley, cleaning cloudy water, reviving dead roots, and summoning rain. Some also became household assistants for Bai Hu, whether it was helping him cook or cleaning his house and clothes. They are adorable little creatures. According to Bai Hu, actually, as a Realm King, Bai Ying also has the power to summon or employ those little fairies. It occurred to Bai Ying’s mind, he might summon that fairy if one day he really needed them.

Luo Xiang and Bai Ying walked by the lake where they could see the reflection of a lantern over the lake which was not far from Bai Hu’s little hut. Bai Ying only knew that there was such a beautiful lake there because so far he had only revolved around the waterfall.

Since they had missed the Lantern Festival in Xian Yang or San Po, Bai Ying and Luo Xing decided to celebrate the Lantern Festival at the White Fox valley instead. With so many fairies that Bai Hu has, it’s not difficult to make various colors and sizes of lanterns to fly in the sky of the White Fox in a short time.

Luo Xiang held Bai Ying’s hand stopping them from walking, the moon was so big it was right above their heads. He smiled pulling Bai Ying towards him.

“Um, people say, if we kiss under the big moon, then we will never be separated forever,” Luo Xiang said with a mischievous smile as he pulled Bai Ying’s body with two hands holding his back waist.

Bai Ying’s two hands clenched in front of his chest, holding the Crown Prince’s body very close to him. He smiled.

“Your Highness, haven’t we missed that, can it still work?”

Luo Xiang took Bai Ying’s hands down from his chest, pulling the boy closer to him. He lifted one of Bai Ying’s hands and kissed it, from the palm to his hand.

“Well, there’s no harm in trying right? Em, my beautiful concubine, why are you always teasing me, how can I punish you now?”

Bai Ying smiled in amusement. The Crown Prince’s face at that time looked very playful. He wasn’t a grand Crown Prince usually, but a mischievous Crown Prince who couldn’t stop touching and kissing him.

“Hehehe Your Highness, what did I do wrong? I should be the one to punish Your Highness for doubting my decision to come looking for the White Fox. Does Your Highness really think that this Ying er is still a helpless little boy so he should always be followed by you all the time?”

Luo Xiang pulled his head. The boy’s shrill voice just ruined his mood. He flicked the boy’s forehead making him wince.

“Aww, Your Majesty”

Luo Xiang’s eyes glared at him.

“Still dare to bring it up, not me the one who punishes you, but Princess Wu Lan, your great grandmother, she has already written a note of punishment list to give you, because she is old and afraid to forget when Ying Ying comes back. I don’t want to know what it is but it’s definitely a very long list.”

Bai Ying looked at Luo Xiang with his two big eyes, blinking a few times as if trying to see if the man was right or just bluffing him. He swallowed his saliva whole.

“That’s right Your Highness, then, should we just run away? Ying er didn’t dare to go home so. Erm, how about we just stay in Yue Yang palace, just tell grandma that Your Highness has very important business and cannot be left behind, so Ying er will also come with Your Highness to stay in the palace right?”

Luo Xiang pursed his lips, while Bai Ying was already holding his sleeves to pout like he usually did. The Crown Prince shook his head.

“Erm, that doesn’t seem like it will, my dear, your grandmother is very stubborn, like someone I know. She said she would visit the Yue Yang Palace for a family-in-law visit. After all, the Queen Mother had invited Princess Wu Lan to come a long time ago, surely she would take this opportunity to come and punish you.”

“Your Majesty, so what should I do then?” said Bai Ying tugging at the Crown Prince’s sleeve.

Luo Xiang tried not to laugh, but seeing Bai Ying’s cute frightened face, the young man finally laughed.

“Hahaha”

And Bai Ying knew that the Crown Prince was teasing him.

“Ah, Your Majesty, why is Your Highness scaring me, this isn’t funny at all”

Luo Xiang laughed loudly. Without letting go of Bai Ying who was trying to hit him in annoyance.

“Hahahaha my Ying Ying’s face is so adorable. How can a Realm King who is so great and powerful fear punishment from your own grandmother?”
