CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE-Chapter 681 - 681 Dream?

681 Dream?

“But Your Majesty”

Bai Ying was still worried, but Luo Xiang smiled and stroked the hair on Bai Ying’s forehead, kissing it.

“Chup”

“Lie down, and close your eyes, physician said after taking the medicine you will feel sleepy, let me help to wash you so you sleep more comfortably, okay”

Bai Ying complied. With Luo Xiang’s help, he finally lowered his body and lay down. That’s right, his eyes were already very heavy, and voices of silence were beginning to fill his head.

He took one of the Crown Prince’s hands and grabs it, placing it above his stomach.

“Your Majesty, I had a dream, it feels very real. Your Majesty, don’t let go of my hand, don’t let go..”

Luo Xiang smiled. He caressed Bai Ying’s forehead which was breaking out in cold sweat due to his fever and kissed him.

“Sure, my Ying Ying, I will never let you go, I swear” he whispered.

.....

...

The sun is shining again. Didn’t know how long Bai Ying had been asleep, but what was clear was that time had passed so quickly after he closed his eyes. He lifted his head, it felt very heavy, and even to sit down he had difficulty.

“Eh”

Bai Ying got up and leaned on the bed. Didn’t see the Crown Prince or his maids there, where are they?

“Your Majesty!”

Slowly, with a bit of a limp, he got up. His head hurt so bad, his back too, all the heavyweights seemed to press down on him and make his every move feel very heavy.

He was just about to get out of bed when the door opened from the outside. Yan and Bi came in.

“Your Majesty”

Yan approached Bai Ying and helped him sit back on his bed.

“Your Highness, don’t get out of bed yet, Your Highness is still unwell. Let us serve you, okay?”

Bai Ying looked at his maids. The two were wearing maid outfits that were different from what they usually wore. The color is white with a combination of purple and gold. Those were not clothes that he was familiar with, while usually, all the maid’s outfits should have matched his choice which are red and light blue. Maybe it’s new, Bai Ying thought, he shouldn’t have to think much of it.

“Um, where is His Highness the Crown Prince?” he asked. During his illness, His Highness the Crown Prince was always around him, it would be strange if he wasn’t around now.

Bi smiled. She approached carrying a tray with a bowl of porridge and a small bowl of medicine like before.

“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is greeting Master and Madam Hua, they just arrived this morning, and will be back soon, Your Highness.”

Bai Ying turned his head, frowning upon hearing the name of Master Hua, who was Bi referring to, why had he just heard of it?

“Who are they? Is it one of His Majesty’s acquaintances?”

Hearing Bai Ying’s innocent answer, the two maids looked at each other, then both chuckled.

“Your Highness, is Your Highness really still mad at Big Master? It’s been a long time, right, Your Majesty should be able to forgive them,” said Yan.

The maid’s answer made Bai Ying even more confused. He watched them with his forehead furrowed deeply.

“Er, who, do you mean?”

Yan and Bi chuckled again before replying to Bai Ying, the boy was looking at them with big round eyes.

“Well, who else Your Highness, the great lord Hua Lie, Your Highness’s father”

Bai Ying’s eyes widened even more. He brushed off the bowl in Bi’s hand making it falls to the floor and tried to get up.

“Father? Really?”

...

In the central hall of Plum’s magnificent villa. The maids were seen busy back and forth delivering food and others to welcome their guests that morning, some of whom were already sitting near the Crown Prince. Sounds of small talk to loose laughter can be heard filling the calm atmosphere of the room.

“Hehehe that’s very good, I can’t say much other than thank you very much, Your Majesty”

The big man with round cheeks resembling a bun who was talking to Luo Xiang was none other than Hua Lie, a rich man from Chang San, Bai Ying’s biological father. Beside him was another stocky woman, Madam Hua, Hua Lie’s first wife, and then there was a beautiful woman with looks far above the commoners, she was Princess San Niang, Hua Lie’s little wife. A young girl sitting between her and madam Hua, a beautiful young woman whose face more or less looks like her mother, is Hua Bai Yen.

Luo Xiang lifted the teacup, stirred it gently with the lid off the floating tea leaves, and took a sip.

“Hmm, when Ying Ying’s condition improves we will probably return to the capital, Father has advised me to focus more on the work in the palace. For then Ying Ying could return to Master Hua’s manor as he pleased. We will visit often in the future”

Hua Lie laughed again.

“Hehehe that’s good news, that poor kid, he is always getting sick when he is away from home, please forgive him, he is indeed a rather spoiled child”

Luo Xiang and Hua Lie seemed to be enjoying their conversation until they turned around when they heard a slightly loud voice from outside the door.

“Father!” it was Bai Ying.

The Crown Prince who was just about to enjoy his tea stopped his hand and widened his eyes to see Bai Ying who was already standing half-limping by the door. Without waiting for him the young man rushed in to approach his father.

“Father, this, is this really you? Mother, Sister!” he cried running in and almost falling from his weak legs. His maids even had a hard time holding him.

“Your Highness be careful!”

Luo Xiang stood up from his seat holding Bai Ying’s hand who still couldn’t believe what he was seeing in front of his eyes now.

“Ying Ying, why did you get up from your bed, look at you, you are feeling unwell”

But Bai Ying didn’t care, he couldn’t hold back his tears even more when he saw his father’s face who actually looked at him with confused eyes.

“Eh Ying er” f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮

Without thinking, Bai Ying stepped forward and hugged his father.

“Father! Is this really you, Ying er, isn’t dreaming right? Father?” asked Bai Ying holding his father’s two stocky hands, looking him up and down. Is this, a dream? Or instead, has he been dreaming all this time?

Bai Ying couldn’t hold back his tears, no matter what it was, now he is holding his father’s hand and hugging him tightly.

“Father, Ying er miss you so much” warm, his hug is very warm and real, it is not a dream.

Hua Lie chuckled, he patted Bai YIng’s back who was shaking violently from crying.

“Hehehe this brat, we just got meet two months ago and you already miss your Father, is living in the palace so boring that this kid is spoiled like this?”

Luo Xiang pulled his lips. Looking at Bai Ying who was crying non-stop. His parents would think that he didn’t take good care of him.

“Ahem, Ying Ying, are you going to make your parents think your brother is not taking good care of you?”

Bai Ying let go of his hug, wiped away his tears, and saw his two mothers, in particular, his birth mother, San Niang, the beautiful woman smiled so beautifully, exactly the same as the last time he saw her.

“Mother”

San Niang smiled, she pulled Bai Ying’s hand at her and helped him wipe the tears that were already streaming down his smooth cheeks.

“Silly kid, why are you still the same as before? Now you are the Crown Prince’s concubine, as well as the Viceroy, you are an adult now, you have to reduce your spoiled nature, look at your eyes, it’s red like a frog’s”

Bai Ying wiped his tears. Smiling at his mother, whom he missed so much that his chest hurt because of it, he forgot why he missed her so much, maybe it was because they had been separated for quite a while. He hugged her tightly.

“Mother”

Hua Bai Yen and her mother who were sitting side by side could only pull their lips.

“Spoiled brat, already being the Crown Prince’s concubine and still crying like that, Yen er told you didn’t I, it should be Yen er who entered the palace at that time, why did you even send Ying er there?” she exclaimed.

Madam Hua shook off Bai Yen’s hand on her. She glared at her daughter and flick her forehead.

“Aww, Mother why do you hit me?”

“Who told you to run away at that time, stupid child, now it’s just too late to regret it”

Bai Yen puffed out her mouth.

“Who spread the rumors that say the Crown Prince is ugly, who wants to be with an ugly person”

“Did you forget? You’re already engaged to Yi Fang, you think he’ll just sit idly by watching you choose someone else?” cried Madam Hua.
