Prince, Marry Me!
The palace carriage
A pair of gallant horses came carrying the carriage, his arrival was very well welcomed on this slightly overcast day. Everyone was ecstatic except for Huang Ling Xi and the mother, seeing that Huang Jian Ying was going to be brought to the palace today was clearly a huge blow to them. The mother would definitely blame him for not being able to deliver the poison properly, the proof Huang Jian Ying had improved must have been that their cunning tricks had not worked anymore.
Still with the same scars and worries, Huang Ling Xi remained standing while enduring the pain in her legs. Last night the servants found her asleep in front of her own room, the cold night hugging her weeping tired. Even this morning, his eyes were still pouchy.
Huang Jian Ying hugged the father, not until the heart to leave the house. But what is possible because he will continue his life better, anyway later, he will bring the good name of the Huang family in the empire.
“Miss Huang Jian Ying, come! The imperial horse carriage is waiting.” Kasim Hong said carrying the emperor's word.
The lady who will soon be the companion of the crown prince nodded her head, “Thank you, Eunuch Hong. But let's wait a little while longer, I want to say goodbye to my family.”
“Iya miss, but do not be long because soon it will rain seems to fall soon.” replied Commander Duan who came with Eunuch Hong, “Fear we will be caught in the rain and difficult to continue the journey.”
“Iya, Commander Duan, I understand.”
The day he was waiting for arrived, but Jian Ying's heart was as heavy as the world's. It was hard to leave even if this was his dream. Thinking of how the father would live in this cold dwelling alone, for there was no warmth in it, all the members of the family hated each other. In the end, Huang Jian Ying was afraid that the father would die in loneliness.
In his eyes the father also looked at him. While Liu Ning Yu was silent and indifferent, Ling Xi also kept her head down without any expression.
In my heart, I will miss my family.
“Daddy greetings, greetings mother, I asked permission to go to the palace today.”
“Go son, dedicate yourself to the crown prince and the empire well. Keep the good name of the family and live happily.” said Huang Han Su while wiping his tears.
“Dad, I will definitely miss you.”
Huang Han Su pulled both corners of her lips, even though the eyes could not lie but this smile would bring calmness to her daughter. “It is precisely father who will miss you, my little daughter. But we can still meet well, I promise to visit and send a gift for you.”
“But I'm still worried, how about dad getting sick? What if I have trouble sleeping?” Jian Ying sighed deeply, “Hopefully I can keep visiting later, I will make father father's favorite pine porridge.”
Huang Jian Ying's tears finally fell as well, after resting long enough to hold on to both of his eyelids. The young lady was up to as much as she pleased, “Dad .. I.. I ... “
“Quiet, Jian’er!”
“Daddy, how can I leave you .. “
“Jian’er.”
The supreme commander Huang Han Su carried his daughter into a hug, his rough hands rubbing gently on Jian Ying's back to calm down. Along with that, the rain finally fell as well. The drizzle began to pierce the city with a light speck.
“You take it easy, your father is not alone in the residence.” jawan Liu Ning Yu who is getting tired of this drama-filled farewell. “Mother and Ling Xi are at home, the servants are also many, your father will not live in loneliness.”
Huang Jian Ying wiped her tears while unraveling a hug with her father, “Good mother, then I say goodbye, I pray to the gods to bring good luck and peace in this house.”
The lady finally got into the horse carriage, all the items she was about to bring were well prepared. The new life was about to begin, Huang Jian Ying should not be discouraged until here, because this was the life he wanted. From the window of the horse carriage, the very beautiful lady with milky-white skin could see around. It was raining but not too hard.
This time reminded him of the meeting, the meeting that made his heart pound. As of now, the conversation still feels real. And in a moment, he will meet the heart.
Yes, Huang Jian Ying had long favored the crown prince, until he begged at the father's feet to be the crown prince's companion.
“Aww!”
“Hey, are you okay?”
Back then, many years ago in a palace garden. Twelve-year-old Huang Jian Ying joined his father in visiting the emperor's feast. At that time, the rain fell with light rain, almost the same as today.
Little Huang Jian Ying met slipping and falling, she complained as her body was pounding something hard. As he looked up, his gaze seemed to be fixated with an even faster beating heart.
At that time, the crown prince was only fourteen years old. But he had already grown into a handsome man even though his face had always been pale, making Jian Ying enamored at first glance. Crown Prince Wang Ming stretched out his hand, “I'm sorry, because I'm walking in an indeterminate direction so hit you!”
“Come! I help you stand.”
“Do you want to stay seated there?”
Huang Jian Ying fluttered, both of his cheeks as red as tomatoes and timidly reaching for the crown prince's palm. “Thank you.” the answer is clean.
“No, I should apologize for my negligence.” said Wang Ming, “I want to see Physician Li, I have to take a new medicine because my medicine is up. But after the bird, I didn't see my way very well. Are you hurt?”
Instead of replying, Jian Ying instead continued to stare at the crown prince. Until the man had to wave his hand to bring Jian Ying back to consciousness, “Hei, why are you daydreaming? Is anyone hurt? Let me call the healer.”
“No!”
“Eh, I mean no need, Your Majesty.” replied Huang Jian Ying.
Both crown prince's eyes narrowed, “How did you know that I was crown prince?”
“From the clothes worn, Your Highness.” replied Huang Jian Ying while holding back a heart-crazing beat. “A-a-I saw your clothes, I-I also never saw you with the emperor before.”
“Well if you know.” replied the crown prince, “Why don't you kowtow?”
Huang Jian Ying rounded his eyes, he looked up at the crown prince in shock. True as well, when meeting the imperial family he should have kowtowed, moreover this was the crown prince, the next emperor candidate. Huang Jian Ying was about to drop both knees, but had not had the time to touch the ground, both of his arms were held back by the crown prince.
The gazes of the eyes of the two were connected, making the time around feel stopped and centered only on them.
This feeling is the feeling that people refer to as monkey love. Love was momentary in adolescence, but to Huang Jian Ying the feeling was still stored after a dozen years had passed. The love that grew so much that he wanted to spend his entire life together with Crown Prince Wang Ming.
