CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE-Chapter 626

626 Guest

Meanwhile in Xin Hua palace.

Princess Wu Lan sat on a large chair in the middle of the great Eagle hall, entertaining guests which just arrived that afternoon. An exalted guest came suddenly as they were preparing to pick up their Viceroy at the border town of Sui Lian.

King Son Wa, with a large and muscular body like a giant with muscles sticking out of his arms, was a bit black with big angular eyes and a round nose. Physically the man is far to be said as handsome or attractive. Not even attractive, but the King was renowned for his fighting skills that can’t be underestimated. King Bi Lou was one of the most influential tribal leaders in Wah Ye who became one of the most surviving tribes after the large to small tribes collapsed and disintegrated. During the reign of that King, the Son Wa tribe was in peace without any small to large countries that dared to deal with them.

Princess Wu Lan welcome the King who came with his adviser, without the Crown Prince who was said to be paired up with Bai Ying as his life partner. Either because the Crown Prince disagree or because he had other business to do so he was reluctant to come to the palace. But in Wu Lan’s mind, if King Son Wa is like what she’s looking at right now, he could imagine that his son would definitely not be much different from him.

Princess Wu Lan smiled.

“Hehe King, please enjoy the food, it’s not much, it’s just simple dishes, hope you don’t mind, because we didn’t actually receive any heads up about your visiting today so we are unprepared”

The Son Wa hunter tribe’s oversized clothing also suits their environment which tends to be hot and dry. Short sleeves for men to pants that are mid-calf length, so they can’t hide all the big muscles of men who are indeed their body size much bigger than women.

King Son Wa, Bi Lou chuckled, lifting his tea and sipping it a little.

“Umh, Your Highness the Princess is so condescending, even the quality of the tea is so good, I can’t imagine how the food will taste, it must be amazing. Really pardon us for not telling you anything before this, it’s just the weather is so great these couple of days, it’s a shame if we don’t plan to meet now.”

.....

Princess Wu Lan chuckled. The king was known to be friendly and sweet-spoken, so it was not strange that he had many loyal concubines.

“Hehehe, I guess that is, um, but where is the Crown Prince? Why doesn’t he come with King here?” she asked.

King Bi Lou saw his two advisors, thin and muscular old men with wrinkled skin and almost all grey hair stroking their short beards.

“Um, unfortunately, this Crown Prince, is indeed a little bit, not obedient, he likes to act as he pleases, and tends to fight, I’m embarrassed to say that I intend to propose to His Majesty the King but the Crown Prince himself doesn’t have that big of a desire” Princess Wu Lan held back a smile, of course, with Bai Ying’s outspoken nature she knew, even if the Crown Prince was the most handsome young man in the world he couldn’t possibly turn his back on Crown Prince Luo Xiang.

“Oh, that, is very natural, young people nowadays are like that right? I don’t think it’s strange anymore, after all, the Crown Prince is still young, then, did he already has a concubine?” she asked.

King Bi Lou looked at Princess Wu Lan with big eyes as if surprised.

“That is absolutely impossible Princess, Bi Yeng is very difficult to talk nicely with anyone, he doesn’t even like to look at his own little sister because he thinks girls are very troublesome. At a young age like this, he always spends his time practising martial arts almost all the time, no time to look for concubines, that brat.”

“Hehehe, I think youth nowadays are all like that”

But King Bi Lou’s face turned serious, looking around him amazed. The Great Hall of the Eagle was the great main hall that has existed since the Great King Yen Hui era, it still stands very firm and perfect as if timeless.

“Your Highness the Princess, this palace is too big. Even the Viceroy, is still very young, of course, he needs all the help at his disposal, and, I strongly disagree that Xin Hua is still under the same administration as the Great Yue Yang palace. His Majesty the Great King Yen Hui has always stood alone, and you must not forget, it was the Yue Yang palace that kept this palace buried for decades.”

And the conversation seemed to start to sound serious, thought Wu Lan, who had been waiting for what the King wanted to say about his current visit. Bringing a large number of troops from Son Wa and having to be confronted by General Fa Lu’s soldiers, even the Junior Minister of Defense Shi Shen had to sit in the tent watching over the Son Wa soldiers who were too numerous.

The junior minister led the inspection to data collection and even ordered Fa Lu to keep everyone outside the palace, no matter what. And that’s a very troubling situation.

Just as the gentle Princess Wu Lan was at a loss for words, from the side door emerged people who she’s been waiting for.

“Then, pardon us, Your Majesty, so what does Your Majesty suggest about what this country should do? Your Majesty the King” Shin Ya’s voice. He and Elder Yi stopped in front of King Bi Lou and lowered their heads in salute.

“Please forgive me, Your Majesty the King, for interrupting the conversation, I’m just getting carried away because this conversation is sound getting so exciting,” said Shin Ya.

King Bi Luo looked at the two young men in official Xin Hua palace attire, then looked at Princess Wu Lan.

“Your Highness Princess, they are:”

Princess Wu Lan smiled, of course, the King must be very annoyed even if he didn’t show it because the two handsome men interrupted his words.

“Oh, pardon this old lady, they are the Advisor and Grandmaster of the palace, Advisor Shin, and Teacher Yi, both of them can be said to be the Young King’s direct accomplices, so, they have the right to participate in our conversation today, please the King understand”

King Bi Lou looked at the two men who were smiling very broadly in front of him for a long time. Then pulled his lips in annoyance.

“Oh, Adviser Shin, Master Yi”

....

The hooves of the huge horses of the Crown Prince and the others could be heard clearly upon arriving at the border of Pai Hua city. The sound of long trumpets reverberated from all around welcoming the Crown Prince and their Viceroy back to the new nation’s capital Wah Ye.

Seen at the end of the road, Old advisor Pai, several palace elders and young ministers have already welcomed the arrival of the Viceroy and Crown Prince. Everyone dropped their knees after the entourage entered the palace gates and drew closer to the field.

“Sincerely, Viceroy and Crown Prince, welcome back to the Palace.”

The group arrived in front of Xin Hua palace before sunset. And at that time, they can see a group of men with clothes that were very different from the Xin Hua soldiers gathered in the courtyard in front of the palace complex.

The Crown Prince looked at Counselor Pai.

“Old man, who are they? Does the palace allow a bunch of barbarians to gather fully armed in front of our Palace? How does General Fa Lu work, why did he not drive these people away?” he asked.

Advisor Pai lowered his head.

“My Majesty, they are warriors from the Son Wa tribe, today the palace has guests from King Son Wa who bring all these soldiers with him. Right now he is still inside.”

Luo Xiang turned to Bei Yau and Su Lang to handle it.

Su Lang dismounted from his horse and thrust his long spear beside his leg.

“Insolent! You guys didn’t kneel down when the Crown Prince came.” The wind from his spear almost blew everyone away.

“Akh” 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖

All of those people were pushed down almost completely, and it wasn’t Su Lang if he gave them a chance, he slammed his spear on the ground again and made all the hundreds of soldiers finally fall to the ground, completely.

“Ah!”

The sound of commotion made the people within the palace walls come out. Shi Shen widened his eyes at what happened to the people he ordered to wait outside and saw who was the one who dared to do it.

Without thinking, Shi Shen and General Fa Lu immediately lowered their knees to welcome the Crown Prince and Viceroy.

“Sincerely, Your Highness the Viceroy, Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

Bai Ying appeared to be sticking his head out from within the curtains of the golden carriage. Widened his eyes to see the people lying on the field, all groaning in pain.

“Wow, what just happened? Looks like we missed the fun part, brother” said Bai Ying widening the curtains for Chen Ming.

Chen Ming pulled his lips.

“Where do these ugly people come from?”
