Chapter 712 - 712 Daily Life



712 Daily Life

But Bai Ying keeps crying, his body trembling hard. All the pain in his chest, that he was trying to hold finally let out. All was too much for him. Losing his grandfather whom he just knew, had time to see and touch his mother’s hand, and saw the smile on his father’s round-a-meat bun cheek. The cynical view of his old mother and older sister towards him, which he knew, although they were both cynical towards him they loved him very much. All the pain that kept piercing his chest and its so hurt made him finally cry.

Luo Xiang understood that, he just let the child cry while trying to comfort him.

“Heh, sweet child, cry as much as you want, just let it out, my poor Ying Ying”

...…..

The night is getting deeper.

Slowly the Crown Prince came out of the bathroom while carrying the sleeping Bai Ying to his bed. After crying for a long time, the young man finally fell asleep in his arms because for exhausted. After covering Bai Ying’s body with a bathrobe, Luo Xiang carried him out of the room and laid him on the bed.

Luo Xiang sat on the edge of the bed, adjusting the blanket to cover Bai Ying’s body, who was sleeping so soundly that he only moved his head slightly and was delirious. The boy still held his hand tightly, even though he was already asleep.

“Um, Your Highness, don’t go”

“This kid”

.....

Yan and Bi stood not far from the bed with their heads down, all of them waiting for the Crown Prince’s order.

“Please bring me hot water and a clean cloth to wash”

Yan and Bi and some of the little maids lined up behind him lowered their knees a little while nodding.

“Yes, Your Majesty”

They all left the Crown Prince and Bai Ying alone in the room. Luo Xiang took a deep breath, stroked Bai Ying’s cheek, and smoothed his front hair down to cover his forehead and cheeks.

“Heh, cutie, what’s on your mind exactly” Luo Xiang whispered holding Bai Ying’s hand, lowering his head to kiss his forehead.

“Everything will be fine, trust me, you just need to hold my hand” he whispered pressing his forehead against the forehead of the young man who was sleeping with a wrinkled forehead, until the wrinkles slowly disappeared, the Crown Prince’s voice could clearly calm him down.

“Um, Your Highness”

.....

“His Highness the Viceroy has arrived!”

The doorkeeper’s voice echoed through the hall, as Bai Ying and the Crown Prince stepped into it. In the great Eagle hall, there was a morning routine meeting that day, and as usual, the young ministers and elders of the new Xin Hua Palace would present their work so far.

Not something that Bai Ying liked very much to the point where he would sometimes not attend and let Princess Wu Lan and the palace councilors, Elder Yi and Prince Chen Ming represent him. But that bright morning is too dear to pass up, Bai Ying came with the Crown Prince to hear everybody’s reports.

Not even half of the meeting Bai Ying already looks bored. He refrained from yawning from sleepiness. Remember what his grandmother said, if he should be able to maintain his dignity in front of everyone, he is the Viceroy of Xin Hua who will become the supreme ruler of that small country in the future.

He actually didn’t like it, at first. But, ever since he gets back from the world in memory coins, and recently stepped out onto the streets of downtown Pai Hua, Bai Ying had just realized that a country does need leaders who care about the prosperity of their people. He think that he saw some children who looked like Xi er, but those children were in a much better state than Xi er and the others he knew. He was grateful, at least their lives were much better than what he saw, whether it was just an illusion made by Queen Yu Yan or indeed the future that could have happened if his great-grandfather had not taken over the power from the evil Queen’s hands.

But, it made Bai Ying remember something very important. If in the future the Queen’s successors, the Clan Priestess’s members might rise again and attack the palace in the future, though, it might not be such a big thing now that the Clan Priestess’s strength was far below him and the others, just let them come, if they dare.

According to his great-grandfather, Empress Yu Yan before her death had set a trap that she planted in the basement of Wah Ye’s palace, a trap that was set to destroy Wah Ye at a certain time with everyone in it buried under the rubble without knowing when it would happen.

“The Wah Ye Palace must be drowned,” said Yen Hui. The High King was now sitting in front of Bai Ying, holding Bai Ying’s hand who was looking at him with a pair of big round eyes. Bai Ying stuttered. His great-grandfather, Yen Hui’s memory spoke to him as if he was right there.

“What, grandfather mean? Why did Wah Ye have to sink? Isn’t there anything we can do to prevent it?” Bai Ying asked.

Yen Hui took a deep breath. He saw a pair of big eyes of his great-grandson who looked at him worried.

The man smiled. Seeing the tears dripping down from the big eyes that were starting to turn red, the young man finally couldn’t stop himself from crying.

“Hey, this child, why do you have to cry, everything has happened, and grandpa never regretted it. All this time, grandpa knows, that the sweet young person who came to help grandpa at that time, is my sweet great-grandson. It was Lord Shin Mu Lei who said it, not long after Grandfather became the Great King. Because of that, grandfather never wrote your name in any history book. Although I really wished to see you again, to know what would happen next. Apparently, I prefer everything to go as it should. What is the use of knowing our future from the other? It’s better if you live it by yourself, we don’t need anyone else or anyone to tell you. Remember that, my sweet child”

Bai Ying wiped away his tears. He nodded.

“Yes grandpa, Ying er will remember it”

Bai Ying held Luo Xiang’s fingers that were beside him. Hold it tight. The Crown Prince, who had been quite attentive to the reports of the ministers, turned his head. Changed the position of his hand that was under Bai Ying’s palm and intertwined all of their fingers. Hold it tight. He smiled. Although the kid did not turn his head at him and seemed to be listening to everyone’s reports so seriously.

...........

The dining room is quite lively.

There were Princess Wu Lan, Bai Ying, Crown Prince, Chen Ming, Xiao Hong, Elder Yi, and Shin Ya sitting together at a round table with lots of food served. Chen Ming’s voice sounded loudest among others.

“No, if Xiao Ying really wants to go to Yue Yang Palace, I don’t want to be the one who has to take care of Xin Hua, and Xiao Hong and I also want to venture into the martial world. I promised Xiao Hong to take him to see the wider world” said Chen Ming.

Princess Wu Lan pursed her lips, looking at Chen Ming’s pair of eyes that looked at her with great opposition.

“Brat, what’s the point of wandering in the martial world, you’re a Prince, everyone will worry so much about you. The martial world isn’t a safe place, so why not just stay in the palace comfortably?” said Princess Wu Lan.

Bai Ying, who is chewing his food until his cheeks were round, held himself back from laughing. Let his brother taste it, he cried in his heart. His brother said what was on his mind and now had to get scolded in front of everyone. Even though he was the one who was about to say that, luckily he didn’t say anything yet.

“This grandma, Ming Ming is still so young, and needs to see the outside world, how can Ming Ming help the King lead the kingdom if I myself don’t know what’s going on out there? After all, there is such a great Xiao Hong with me, who in this world, other than a Realm King can beat him?”

Bai Ying glanced at the bowl where the Crown Prince had peeled the prawns and put the meat in the bowl. He hadn’t even picked it up yet, the Crown Prince again took the fish pieces for him. Pushed it in front of his mouth.

“Here, this fish was just caught by your two maids this afternoon. This is harvested from the independent ponds of the Pai Hua residents on the east side, the fish grow in large numbers and are healthy.”

Bai Ying widened his eyes as he chewed on the tender fish meat that entered his mouth.

“Em, this is delicious Your Majesty” the young man immediately stretched out his hand to chop the pieces of fish meat and thrust it in front of the Crown Prince’s mouth, who without hesitation put it into his mouth.

“It is, right?”
