CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

72 What Should we Wear?

Luo Yan’s eyes went wide, ready to hit his personal bodyguard.

“Really this guy, just do it quickly or I’ll bait you to the crocs.”

Pang scratched his head, either afraid of being fired, or getting chopped up, what he should do?

“Y-Your Highness”

So, not long after that....

On a very calm night in the courtyard of the Plum pavilion, the bushes not far in front of the main courtyard of the pavilion swayed slightly, as if something had settled beneath it. Don’t know if it was because of the wind that blew so hard enough to make the swaying even harder, but, all strange movements in the pavilion area were always to be suspected, including the bushes and other similar, so, as the thing that moves the bush finally popped its head, all the guard spears ready to go to him.

“Eulk”

Guard Pang, whose sneak wearing all black clothes was caught off guard, he could be chopped into pieces, and sure enough, the little guards without hearing his explanation stepped on his body, kicked him, and hit him hard.

Phak Phak Phak!!

.....

“Ah please stop!” shouted Pang.

....

The next morning at the Peach pavilion.

BaiYing and the other concubines had a knitting class that afternoon, a class that BaiYing hated so much because he didn’t master it at all, in fact, he hadn’t mastered a single class all this time, he was really bad at it.

“Sister Yen, what do you want to wear tonight?” Mu’er asked approaching, soon concubine Fan and concubine Lan also approached, although the two of them sometimes really disliked BaiYing but the festival that night was enough to attract the attention of all who couldn’t wait to join in on the fun tonight.

BaiYing frowned, he didn’t think about it, he thought he would just wear the clothes he usually wears without much choice, he thought all of his clothes were also very good and beautiful, still worth wearing, but, according to the Crown Prince he would prepare for him, rather troublesome to have a Crown Prince become his stylist, he didn’t give him any clue at all, he shrugged his shoulders.

“Erm maybe just normal clothes, Yen’er still has a lot of good clothes, sis”

Mu’er thought.

“Em, I’m thinking what kind of clothes I want to wear, what color will Your Majesty wear tonight? We should be able to match him.”

Lan’er and Fan’er nodded.

“Yeah right, according to people saying that on the night of the festival we wear the same clothes as our partner...”

Their voices floated outside the ears of BaiYing who was busy knitting, he just smiled to himself remembering how his fond memories were of last year’s lantern festival.

“Hehehehe brother, this is so cute” BaiYen’s face and wide laugh under the moonlight, she was wearing white clothes at that time, with a slight yellow combination on her neck and waist, new clothes with soft material that floated lightly with her body movement, he remembered at that time brother YiFang also wears the same clothes, the two look harmonious under the moonlight, laughing together, it’s a very beautiful night, with the lights shining brightly from the lanterns hanging along the road, on the bridge, in the alleyway, no there is a dark place.

At that time all the residents will fill the streets and paint or write words of the petition on the paper lanterns, which at the end of the night before dawn, it will be flown simultaneously into the sky because the paper is flammable so when the lanterns are blown by the wind more the height of the lanterns will burn and left only the ashes that fall into the water, it’s a very beautiful sight, BaiYing remembers that time brother YiFang and his sister BaiYen sat together by the river while looking at the scene above the sky filled with lanterns of various beautiful shapes, but, BaiYing’s eyes widened, suddenly he remembered the last time YIFang turned his head towards him and smiled, the same smile as the last time he saw at the cottage at that time.

“XiaoYing, brother YiFang likes you”

BaiYing gasped, his daydream gone because the voices of other concubines were still busy arguing about what clothes they would wear at the festival tonight.

“How about yellow with gold, His Majesty often wears that color,” said Fan’er.

Lan’er shook her head.

“No, Your Majesty, usually at night he’ll wear a bit dark color clothes, em, dark blue, or dark brown?”

Mu’er joined in.

“Mu’er thought it was red sis or light blue, lately His Majesty likes to wear red clothes very much”

BaiYing just listened, he opened his mouth yawning in boredom.

“Hoaaaa”

“How about, if this afternoon we’ll see what color His Majesty’s clothes are and then we change to the same one” suggested Fan’er, Mu’er just nodded, while Lan’er looked disapproving.

“I can’t, I need time to apply my makeup, and my eye makeup must match the color of the clothes, if we wait until that time won’t it be too late?”

Mu’er nodded again “Yes, Sis, that’s right”

“Well, then what? Yen’s sister, you are the closest to His Majesty so far, what do you think he will wear tonight?” asked Fan’er approaching BaiYing, the young man scratching his head.

“Em hehehe I don’t know to sis” the answer made the three concubines turn away from him quickly.

“Ich, this Yen sister sucks”

BaiYing pursed his lips, why did the concubines keep arguing about the color of clothes, it seems that this is indeed quite serious according to them, he doesn’t feel there is anything important by wearing clothes with the same color and motif, they think it’s like a couple-outfit, well, even if the colors are the same they will still look different.

“Hemh” BaiYing continued knitting, better not to interfere with other concubines who are being too serious and keep arguing.

“Not sure it’s brown,” Fan’er exclaimed.

“Dark blue sis, that’s Your Majesty’s favorite” Lan’er voiced, while the innocent Mu’er with big eyes just followed her two older sisters and nodded left and right “Yeah right”

.........

Night fell.

BaiYing sat in front of the mirror letting his two maids help him to style his long and beautiful hair, Yan and Bi couldn’t stop smiling, doing Concubine Hua’s make-up work is their pleasant routine.

Yan tied a long red ribbon on BaiYing’s hair, a long ribbon that dangled along with his beautiful hair, the clothes that the Crown Prince’s bodyguard had just brought were very eye-catching because of its beautiful red color with a combination of black and gold trim, very beautiful, as if blending with the color BaiYing’s face was gentle and sweet, as if a fairy had incarnated from the sky and wandered among other humans, this wasn’t an exaggeration, but BaiYing did look very beautiful.

“Oh Your Majesty, you are very beautiful” exclaimed Yan, Bi agreed.

“Yes, Your Majesty, it is so nice to keep look at you”
