Back In Time (The Reincarnation of the Cruel Concubine)

Mother's knowledge

I don't know since when this awkward feeling was present, but every time I met Jing Xuan, Zhou Fang Yin became flowery happy. All the way home he unconsciously hummed along with the warm but soothing twilight, in his hand was a small basket of bakpaos he bought before returning home. After relaxing gazing at the scenery on the hill, Jing Xuan took her to the market to buy a snack, and bakpao was her choice. He bought two small baskets, another one to share with the homeless children he once bought them.

“Your Highness, you are so happy ya.”

Zhou Fang Yin turned to a girl of his age who was always loyal to his side, the princess often called him Xiao Fen because she often brought soothing fragrances to decorate her room. Out of nowhere, what was certain was that Xiao Fen had always managed to keep him calm and peaceful within every corner of the pavilion.

“Ah, not really .. “ times.

“You do not need to lie, Your Majesty, everything has been clearly drawn from your wide smile.”

“Is it true it looks obvious?”

“Iya, honestly you become more beautiful if you smile like this.” Answer the lady.

Zhou Fang Yin handed over the bakpao basket he had originally brought to Xiao Fen, he smiled much wider as he touched the camellia flower-shaped konde skewer he first wore after being given someone very special. Xiao Fen knew, he always looked at and watched the miss from afar as a form of guarding without the knowledge of young master Heng. “Your Majesty, are you in love?”

“Hm, in love?”

“Iya.”

“What is it?” asked Zhou Fang Yin.

“Do not pretend not to know, Your Majesty.” Xiao Fen's words aligned the steps with the imperial princess. “You must have known about the sincere feelings from the heart of a woman for a man who managed to make her interested, love will later develop into love. Just like the emperor and the great concubine.”

“I why Jing Xuan?” tanya Zhou Fang Yin pointed to himself, “There may I like young master Heng that, he must already have a future wife from another noble family.” The princess was sad.

“Who said?”

“I did not hear that young master Heng had been betrothed, he was still attending education in the study ward with another noble child, Your Highness.” Added Xiao Fen.

In order to ensure that Jing Xuan was safe for the lord, Xiao Fen deliberately searched the market about the young master himself. What his life was like and how the Heng family behaved to the people. According to the information he had obtained from the people in the market, Heng Jing Xuan was the young master of Heng's distinguished family. He is still in education so he has not got a soul mate from his family. The older brother, Heng Ji Huan, was looking for a good woman who would be married.

There was indeed one woman who sounded so fond of Heng Jing Xuan, she was the young miss of the Xu family, Xu Ling Mei who was very famous for her beauty. But, it was best that Xiao Fen would not have to tell you this, let Jing Xuan alone later.

Not until his heart, the lord had just felt in love for the first time in the history of his life which was colored by rules in the palace.

“Then I don't have to worry about going around the city with him, because no one will get angry instead.”

“Yes, so be Your Highness.” Answer Xiao Fen, “But, you must remain careful that your identity is not revealed. Perhaps young master Heng is not that good, sorry, I was just on my guard. Life outside the palace is also just as heavy and dangerous.”

True as well, Zhou Fang Yin stopped his steps when he arrived at the side gate of the palace. “Truely too, several times he almost managed to get me to open an identity. But never mind, let him remain my friend.”

“Good, Your Highness.”

Zhou Fang Yin opened the secret gate slowly, turning to his right and left to make sure no one saw him.

“From anywhere, princess?!”

***

The black horse had returned safely to its stable, before leaving, the horseman took the time to caress the fine mane of the gallant horse. “You've worked hard today, thank you, I'll get the waiters to give you a lot of food!”

As if to know, the horse made a sound and raised its front legs as a sign that he was happy. Since five years ago, this horse became a friend to Zhou Ming Hao in hunting and fighting practice. No one should ride this horse but him, because this is the horse of the flagship race of gifts from the grandfather, Emperor Wu Zhang Hao, the previous emperor of Hang Country.

“You're happy apparently.”

“I will ask the guard to bring you the best grass and fresh fruits this time. Because you've been on big guard for today.”

Zhou Ming Hao departed, the great service he meant was that the horse had witnessed him allowing others to ride his beloved horse. Taking her around the river and the forest looking for the best flowers to give her, then the blushing lady, could only smile sweetly receiving a sprig of pink peonies. The only flower left in early autumn.

“Yang majesty, you are back.”

“You have seen me, it is a sign that I am back.” The crown prince replied to the horse keeper. “Give my horse the best grass and fresh fruits to keep him happy tonight, don't forget!”

“Good, Your Highness.”

“Oh yes, also clean the cage. It's too dirty!”

“Good, Your Highness.”

Zhou Ming Hao nodded and passed by just leaving the stables. He walked happily to his pavilion, and the yellowing and darkening of the sky made him smile even more.

There was something strange about the crown prince, but the horse stable guards could only be speechless busy with their respective thoughts.

“Zhou Ming Hao?”

“ASTAGA!!” pekik the crown prince.

“Is mom like a ghost to the point that you're shocked so?” wu Li Mei asked, she came with folded arms and a serious face. Zhou Ming Hao guessed what this time it was that made the mother's peaceful face turn a little creepy.

“Ti—no, that's not what I mean bu.”

“Then what?”

Wu Li Mei looked at the son who was originally also almost the same as Zhou Fang Yin, so flowery and happy. Actually what they do out there until that sweet smile is created just like that. Unlike him who used to take a long time to get a sincere smile. “Where have you been?”

“I ... horse riding, I hunt in the forest today mother.”

“Hunting? Without catch and arrow, how to?”

Zhou Ming Hao scratched his non-itchy neck, “It .. I .. “

“It looks like we should talk, you guys go outside too often.”
