I'm just Hua Bai Ying

Morning at the Crown Prince Palace.

The morning mist still covered the vast plains with many beautiful buildings as far as the eye could see. A beautiful plants, a wide lake with very calm dark-colored water, and a gentle breeze caressing in a soft whispering voice.

The flag bearing the emblem of the great country Yue Yang fluttered steadily at the end of the pole. Firmly standing in a position where all eyes would surely be on it.

A sort of introduction to the YueYang. A beautiful great country that conquered the lands and gathered five other small countries. The Emperor with great power to rule without causing the long-lost war. Yue Yang is peaceful and rich, at least the poor are less than before.

The Crown Prince Luo Xiang is a hot-blooded young man, twenty-two years old, with a strong mind and persistent young man. As the third son of Luo Pai, ruler emperor, amazing skills in martial arts and political arts, literature, music, enthusiasm, and never to be a loser. No wonder Emperor embrace him and make him Crown Prince since he was sixteen.

And five years ever since, the Queen was in charge of finding the right concubine for the Crown Prince. She already brought three beautiful ladies, but, even as his concubines, Luo Xiang did not bother to pay attention to one of them at all. He thought all were just plots run by Queen to be able to control or spy on him. In fact, Luo Xiang is not a son born from Queen's womb, he is just a child from one of many concubines who are even not too often meet Emperor.

While The Queen's son, the Second Prince, only loves to play with beautiful women and party almost every day. How can he be compared to the very ambitious and aspiring Luo Xiang who works hard to gain everything he had now?

Luo Xiang seat on his chair in his room, gasping, dumbfounded. He didn't remember what happened last night but his headache is killing him, this might be because he had too much drink last night. He had never drunk this much before, this was because of his brother who was so sly to trick him so he won't hesitate to enter his bridal chamber. This is so ridiculous, he never even touched the other concubines before, why bother to give him another new one? But looks like he did lose his guard just for a sec and his wild night turns out to be so bad.

"Ach this is so annoying"

While, in the small room, someone still sitting with his guard on. Bai Ying whose eyes turned black after being awake all night, can't even close his eyes and have to stand on guard with a hard object in his hand. He was holding a flower vas which he was going to use to hit that giant's head when he comes near him again. He thought about it all night, but, even if he can hit him and run, how can he get out of this place? If he is not mistaken, he's in the Crown Prince's Palace. Oh, this is so crazy, how can he get involved in something like this? 

After trying to clear up his insanity, Crown Prince is ready to stand up from his chair. He raised his head when someone appears from behind a small room not far from him. The warm slow wind passes him, there's a figure with reddish long clothes combined with white that sways lightly. A long black shiny hair, a small and slender waist, and long pretty legs. His remaining scented soap still dripping on the floor, with shine and a beautiful bright face glistening in the sunlight. He was such an angel for anyone who saw his pretty face for the first time.

Bai Ying steps out after finishing the bath. He thought he might take the risk now, no use for him to run away while he doesn't have the power to do that.

The Crown Prince seems to be awake already, but his face still looks so drunk with wrinkled eyes. 

That evil, giant, ugly pervert, cursed Bai Ying, but, he is not that ugly though. Turn out, the Crown Prince who is rumored to be so ugly, fat, foody, disgusting, and can't do anything if it's not because of his guards, somehow, is someone who is beyond what he's expected.

BaiYing hold his thought on not killing him, it's too good that he just hit his head last night when that pervert push him onto the bed and almost harassed him, what would he become now if that happen? But he wishes that person doesn't remember what happened last night or his head might be at stake. At least now he has to act and stay calm until Crown Prince gets bored and ignores him as he did with his other concubines. But this is ridiculous, it's not something he has in his future plans.

Bai Ying bowed his head and body down in front of the Crown Prince.

"Greeting Your Highness, you wake up already"

Luo Xiang nodded, he realizes he already stared too long at the beautiful girl in front of him until his mouth was wide open. The pretty face just amazes him, like the cold breeze that blows before his eyes from the hot air in the morning, and his brain was processing at half capacity because of it.

"E y-yeah, M-miss, did you just finish your bath?"

BaiYing already wears his concubine's clothes which were prepared by the maids for him. His bare face after bath is so pretty like an innocent young girl, with pink soft cheeks, clear big eyes, and fluffy red lips. Soft wind sways his beautiful long light hair, so pretty that makes Luo Xiang almost lose himself.

Last night because he was too drunk he can't see his newest concubine's face. Even though he doesn't like the concubine's ideas, as a gentleman who can ignore the pretty girl in front waiting for him to be eaten? Anyway, those beautiful big brown eyes, he's never going to forget that.

In Luo Xiang's version of his memories last night.

"Your Highness please be gentle, slowly" the soft voice tickled his ear. He holds the pretty slender small body with his big hands. That soft and innocent back of his bride. Her fragrant slim neck, her smooth and flawless skin, when he touches her face. And especially her red and fluffy lips were so sweet that Luo Xiang lustfully keeps kissing her without being able to stop.

"Emhh, you're so beautiful"

But…

Luo Xiang's dream broke up, he widened his eyes, this can't happen!

He has to come back to his sense, either he has too much drink last night made him unable to control himself.

This is not right, even with his three last concubines he never felt this way, they can't make him lose control like this. It must be because of the drink. He shouldn't have had too much drink last night, stupid Luo Xiang, how could he lose his guard on her?

Luo Xiang pulled his body spontaneously when Bai Ying approached. That body scent, last night, is that warm and slim body with that scent who's he holding tightly?

"Your Highness, are you alright?" Bai Ying asked in a soft voice.

The boy knows he could use his pretty looks on him. Well, at least he has to try to make him forget about what he's done last night, by hitting him! And after that, thinking about his next plan, first thing first.

Luo Xiang closes his mouth, Bai Ying's face is so close to him and his heart beating so fast because of it. The heat burned his stomach and make him nauseous, is it poison? Did someone poison his wine? This has never happened to him before, or he must be getting sick. No, he's not, he has no fever or anything when he touched his forehead, but Bai Ying's face was too close to him and make him sort of breathe, no way, this can't be, he has to go. Luo Xiang finally stoops from his chair and pulls backward from BaiYing.

"Eh C-Concubine, w-what is your name?"

Bai Ying held his breath, why bother asking his name? Rumors said the Crown Prince is easy gets bored with his concubines, so after a while, he might be free from this pervert.

"Greeting, Your Highness, Servant is Hua Bai Yen, daughter of Hua Lie, a merchant from the city of Chang San" Bai Ying replies while bowing his body down.

Luo Xiang frowned. He straightens his neck as if realizes something so important.

He knew someone named Bai Yen, and the girl in from of him is definitely not her, so, who is she?

"Hua Bai Yen?"
