CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

BaiYing still pursed his lips dissatisfied with the matter.

“Brother and Elder Yi decided to live in the Peacock Pavilion, he said it was much calmer and more spacious, big brother said he didn’t want to live alone so he stay with Elder Yi.”

“Does Ying happy now? That your brother is staying here temporarily?”

“It’s nothing special, Brother MingMing is not a person who likes to follow Ying around, lately he’s even been close to Guard Bei, em Your Majesty, does Guard Bei, likes my Brother huh? He often smiles to himself when he sees my Brother MingMing’s face.”

Hearing that, the Crown Prince’s hand that was already holding the brush that CiaoTi gave him wobbled and finally made the surface of the document black with ink.

“Ouch”

Official CiaoTi immediately lowered his body to take over the document before the ink absorbed into the paper.

“Please excuse my, Your Majesty”

.....

LuoXiang pursed his lips, this was because BaiYing words shocked him for a moment, while he looked annoyed, BaiYing instead looked at him with a pair of big eyes as if nothing had happened.

“This child”

“Your Majesty, it’s an important document, Old man Ciao have worked hard to compile and resume it, there was no copy for this, if it gets damaged he has to rewrite it, for that long script” the kid look at Crown Prince with sharp eyes as if he blames him.

Official CiaoTi agreed, his face looked panicked as he brought the document in the scroll in the other direction to be cleaned along with his men, while the Crown Prince looked at BaiYing sharply.

“Whose fault is this? If it wasn’t someone that bothered me since earlier.”

BaiYing looked around the paper-filled study, there was official Ciao and two administrative officers there, as well as himself and the Crown Prince, who was the Crown Prince mean for?

“Who is it, Your Majesty? That person so insolent and dared to disturb Your Majesty? Seems like he’s looking for instant death” BaiYing whispered, Crown Prince restrained himself, he finally pinched BaiYing’s cheeks in annoyance.

“This kid! Did YingYing really not know who it was? Still dare to ask.”

BaiYing touched his red cheeks, staring at the Crown Prince intently.

“Oh, Your Majesty, it hurts, why does Ying have to know who he is? Why Your Majesty pinching my cheeks again, oh this hurts so much, this is called domestic abuse”

“This stupid kid”

While the two were busy arguing, BeiYau entered from the doorway carrying someone walking behind him.

“Greeting, Your Majesty”

XuYi who followed behind BeiYau immediately lowered his body to his knees in front of the Crown Prince who was still trying to pinch BaiYing.

“Servant XuYi pays respects to His Majesty the Crown Prince and Viceroy, may Your Majesty both be blessed and long live!”

BaiYing who was holding the Crown Prince’s hand that was about to pinch him turned his head, smiling broadly to see that XuYi was already there.

“Young master Xu, you have come!”

BaiYing was about to meet the young man who was kneeling deeply but the Crown Prince’s big hand grabbed his wrist.

“Ahem, please stand up young master Xu.” said Crown Prince before the boy even lift his butt.

Crown Prince currently be so busy with his work, but he has to fulfil his promise to BaiYing to give the young man in front of them an opportunity after they travel so far with him from KuiZang, he also thinks, that the young man in front of him not so bad, he potentially becomes good and decent officials one day.

BaiYing frowned for a moment as he saw the serious face of the Crown Prince who didn’t let him approach the young man, however, BaiYing thought he knew the reason.

XuYi stood up, even though he still lowered his head not daring to look directly at the Crown Prince and BaiYing, BaiYing was about to talk but once again LuoXiang’s hand pulled him making the young man relent even though his voice was already on the tip of his tongue.

“Young master Xu, what do you think after meeting Official Ciao and old man Gu? Have you decided where to go?” asked Crown Prince.

XuYi who was still lowering his head clenched his two hands in front of his head.

“Report, Your Majesty, servant, don’t know how to thank Your Majesty for giving me such an opportunity, this, a great blessing, servant, leave the decision to Your Majesty, I will follow where Your Majesty decide to place me”.

Crown Prince thought, he turned to Baiying who can not wait to talk along, the kid was only widening his eyes on the Crown Prince asked if he could talk? Crown Prince shook his head slightly, but he still asked BaiYing with the look in his eyes, the two of them seemed to have decided something beforehand.

“Em, Young Master Xu, is a perceptive and alert young man, it would be a pity if you just sat behind the desk taking care of all these documents, this job is only suitable for people who are very patient and painstaking like old man Ciao, old man, do you think like that?” asked the Crown Prince.

Official Ciao, who was still busy sorting through the scrolls of documents he had marked, turned his head, the middle-aged man lowered his head and nodded gracefully.

“That’s correct, Your Majesty, it takes a very patient and calm person”

“Then, Old Man what do you think of this young master Xu?” asked the Crown Prince.

CiaoTi turned to XuYi, while stroking his chin he looked at the young man from underfoot to the top of his head.

“Report Your Majesty, this young master Xu, is considered to be very smart, he can follow all directions in an instant very perfectly, but, regarding patience, young master Xu still has a lot to learn, if Young master Xu, decide to join to the Document’s Control Division, he needs to practice a lot to be more patient and calmness.”

XuYi just lowered his head to hear the assessment from official Ciao.

BaiYing was about to interrupt because he thought XuYi could still learn to be patient, the young man was clearly suited to work in the state administration, but just as he opened his mouth, the Crown Prince had already resumed his speech, not giving the young man a chance to speak.

“Young master Xu, what do you think about that?” asked the Crown Prince.

XuYi lowered his head again.

“Report Your Majesty, I also feel that I need a lot of practice to be patient, and frankly, I will not be able to get used to sitting idle sorting through documents all day, this really takes a lot of practice.”

Crown Prince glanced at BeiYau who was standing beside him now.

“Then Bei, what did Master Gu say?”

“Report Your Majesty, according to Old Gu, he clearly needs a new person to be placed in the investigative post, according to him if Your Majesty is willing, young master Xu can join his new team as a junior investigator, he said that young master Xu is quite potential”

Crown Prince looked back at BaiYing, the young man finally broke into a wide smile with all his front teeth clearly visible and eyes missing.

“Hehehe”

“This kid, so impatient,” said the Crown Prince flicking BaiYing’s forehead which was glistening with his smile.

“Your Majesty” BaiYing protested.

“Em, young master Xu, the just join with Old Man Gu, he is very thorough and great, his forensic science is number one, if it wasn’t for Ying afraid to see blood, Ying would definitely learn from him” exclaimed BaiYing who finally had a chance to talks.

Crown Prince grabbed BaiYing’s wrist stopping the young man from speaking too loud and excited.

“This kid”

XuYi raised his head, he dared to peek at BaiYing’s wide smiling face looking at him.

“This, what a wonderful opportunity, thank you for both Your Majesty for giving me the opportunity! I will work very hard!”

BaiYing glared at the Crown Prince.

“Your Majesty, does this mean that young master Xu will be away from the Crown Prince’s palace? We won’t see each other often, will we?”

“So what do YingYing want?”

BaiYing scratched his head.

“Emh”

While the conversation was being serious, one of BeiYau’s men came in from outside the pavilion Eagle’s gate, meeting Bei who greeted him outside the room.

“Report Guard Bei! There are reports of an attack on an official’s house, according to His Majesty’s orders, anything that happens in the near future must be reported directly to His Highness the Crown Prince.”

“Bei!” Crown Prince’s voice, immediately BeiYau took the little guard inside to report.

“Which officials were attacked?” asked the Crown Prince.,

The young guard clenched his fists in front of his head, with a half-bent body reporting in front of the Crown Prince.

“Report, Your Majesty, the Kui official’s house, the rank three official at the Logistics section was attacked last night, and a total of thirty family members, Kui official’s children and grandchildren were killed instantly.”

Upon hearing it, BaiYing covered his mouth, his heart beating so fast hearing about the massacre of a family, like what happened to his family in the past, his eyes began to tear up.

“Oh no”
