The Flower Of War

Chapter 39: Farewell

Day after day passed with the palace busy handling the wedding party between Yiu and Prince Liu Yu.

Yiu continued to try to make trouble whether it was messing with the decorations or ruining the plan intentionally even to the point of cursing Prince Liu Yu in front of his eyes but instead of getting angry, Prince Liu Yu did not react at all nor retaliate against his insults, he continued to be gentle as if what Yiu had just done was just a past wind and it made Yiu extremely irritated, his hands always very want to claw the face full of smiles but it always ends he who will be reprimanded by his two brothers.

This morning, this morning, Yiu who was still wrapped in his blanket had been dragged by Chichi to get ready and accompany Prince Liu Yu who was also busy preparing for the party along with Emperor Wang and his two brothers.

Yiu, who still wanted to sleep because he had only been able to sleep in the early hours after the royal family's small banquet before Yiu and Prince Liu Yu left the capital and went to Bai Qing the next day trying to get back to bed.

Yiu repeatedly refused and reasoned at all while trying to walk back to his bed but somehow today Chichi's pull was so strong that Yiu almost fell forward when Chichi pulled his hand so powerful.

"Let's go Princess, you need to get up and get ready as soon as possible! Today you will go to your new home, BaiQing Liu Palace, with Prince Liu Yu! Your beloved husband Princess, let's wake up!"

Yiu's hair bristles at hearing the word 'love husband' from the mouth of the selfless servant who fortunately Yiu considers his own friend, if not, he would have chopped off his head that very second.

It took quite a long time for Yiu to prepare, unlike his usual day. Of course this was part of Yiu's plan to avoid meeting that infuriating Prince Liu Yu.

"The Princess is ready! You look so beautiful now, it's time to meet your handsome Prince my beautiful daughter's master, I guarantee the prince will be instantly enchanted once he sees you!"

Yiu stared lazily at the reflection of his reflection reflected in the brass, "Let me sleep again for a while I beg you I'm still very sleepy let me sleep?!"

"Can't be Princess, you have to meet Prince Liu Yu! Poor him for so long waiting for you to get ready, come on my daughter knows you are not willing to leave Qiu Wang but a woman does have to leave her house and live with her husband but you can still occasionally come here to visit them so princesses do not need to as sad as that."

Yiu rolled his eyes puffed at the word 'sook tau' from this curse servant, "Why are you so excited huh?! Why don't you just marry your handsome prince? You know I really don't want to get married and I hate that guy too so please stop forcing me to get married!"

Yiu had exhausted his patience and subconsciously scolded Chichi with a high and terrible tone of voice to the point of making the whole room and the other servants shudder in horror at the tone of Yiu's voice.

After regaining his consciousness Yiu felt guilty, he clasped Chichi's hand while revealing a faint smile, "Sorry today I'm too emotional, my mood is not good I hope you understand that."

Chichi who was also feeling guilty again nodded briefly returning Yiu's smile.

Finished preparing, Yiu walked out of his pavilion in casual steps without the slightest rush.

Along the road to the palace hall there is a young man who is much adored by women because of his face and sturdy body who is now standing behind Yiu, enjoy the breeze that hit the light of his yellow regal clothes.

Yiu walked closer to the figure in silence, about a few steps away, Prince Liu Yu turned his body towards Yiu and immediately displayed his trademark smile, "Good morning Princess Ying, Lord, are you ready?"

Yiu nodded briefly then replied to his question, "Sorry it has made Prince Liu Yu wait a long time."

Prince Liu Yu smiled wider and wider until the dimples on his cheeks were clearly printed on his white face, "Not for long Princess. You take it easy I'll wait for you even if it takes up thousands of full moons."

Yiu was silent for a while, his manic stared at Prince Liu Yu full of question marks, his countenance stung.

For a long time their beads clashed with each other without a sound as if the two were immersed in their respective thoughts until Prince Liu Yu's voice cut off contact between the two, "Ah let's Princess ... The Emperor, the Empress, and the two Princes are already waiting for you in the palace hall."

The two of them walked together in silence, no one opened their voices during the journey towards the Palace Hall.

Arriving at their Palace Hall, the two were greeted by the royal member Qiu Wang who was already waiting for them.

Yiu and Prince Liu Yu bowed in greeting to all those present in the Hall, "I'm sorry Your Majesty for making you and the others wait."

Emperor Wang smiled widely then exchanged a smile with Empress Fu Yao who was sitting beside him, "There is no need to be too condescending A-Ying, here we are a family so there is no need to talk as I am."

Yiu and Prince Liu Yu were led by one of the eunuchs to sit on the right side of the Emperor opposite the table of his two brothers.

"Today is the day of A-Ying and Liu Yu's departure for BaiQing, right?"

Everyone nodded enthusiastically except Yiu.

"Your journey will be accompanied by Prince Huang and General Rong as representatives of the kingdom ... Ah Prince Liu Yu sends my greetings and blessings to you to the Emperor and Empress.  Once the preparations here are done I and the others will catch up to BaiQing!"

Prince Liu Yu nodded obediently with a bright smile emanating on his face, "Thank you Your Majesty will gladly convey it directly to them."

"Alright then you should leave immediately for BaiQing, the distance of the capital with BaiQing is quite far. Your chariots are ready at the gates of the kingdom."

Emperor Wang got up from his seat followed by everyone present in the hall, and they bowed and compactly exclaimed "Thank You Your Majesty!" after that Emperor Wang walked first towards the palace gate.

Yiu walked hand in hand with Prince Liu Yu and Prince Huang, both of whom displayed equally bright smiles.

Prince Huang spoke as he pinched Yiu's cheek which immediately got a sharp shot from the master, "Hey my wild little cat why don't you look excited? Aren't you happy?"

Yiu glared sharply at Prince Huang but instead made the owner of the name laugh out loud, "Who's your stray cat huh? And why are you pinching my cheek ge? You asked to be hit?!"

"You get angry easily when you are tempted haha, the nickname wild cat is very suitable for you A-Ying haha! Oh or do you want me to call you 'favorite Liu Yu'?"

Prince Huang lowered his tone almost half in a whisper. Yiu's cheeks and ears suddenly turned red and his face grew dark.

"Aww heii Ying! Realize I'm your gegemu! Why are you pinching my arm aww! Let go of this is very painful Ying release akh!"

Yiu seemed reluctant to release his death pinch from Prince Huang's left arm which was already in pain.

Salah himself dare to play with me ge feel it next time it will be worse!

"My dear wife ..please release Prince Huang, Huang Gege still has to ride a horse on this long journey so have mercy on him, if his hands hurt how?"

A small voice was even very small but it sounded very clear in Yiu's left ear, there was no question who the owner of the low voice was.

Yiu pecked instantly, his body stiffened for a few seconds, he was still walking normally like nothing happened just that his right hand had involuntarily not pinched Prince Huang's left arm.

Prince Huang immediately stroked his left arm while Yiu turned to stare intently at Liu Yu, demanding an explanation.

Prince Liu Yu just smiled sweetly, suddenly his index finger moved a short stroke of Yiu's nose making the master again lost for words.

"You!!"

Yiu glared sharply, his index finger pointing firmly towards Liu Yu. Yiu wanted to curse at Liu Yu but his voice was stuck in the throat. Yiu squeezed the rough fabric of his arm, refocusing it towards the front.

Yiu's heart beat rapidly almost out of his body, a pink tinge emanating clearly on Yiu's white cheeks.

What's wrong with you Yiu? Why don't you scold her? Oh even now you can't look him in the eye! Be aware Yiu he's gone too far!

Suddenly Yiu felt awkward walking beside Liu Yu, he did not know what to do now.

The atmosphere turned awkward instantly.

"A-Huang why are you so noisy? You're teasing your meimei again huh? A-Ying come here ..."

The Empress's voice saved Yiu from the awkwardness, anger, and strange beatings that Yiu felt as a result of the actions of these two cursed men beside her.

Yiu walked up to the Empress, they had arrived before the palace gate.

"A-Ying, I really don't want you to leave this palace but you're all grown up now and you've found your future ..."

Yiu's face was increasingly bent many times over.

"Hey don't bend your face like that, I know you don't want to go and marry Liu Yu right? But I believe he's a good man, you don't have to love him but at least you have to open your heart to try to accept his presence in your life. Remember mom's message, love comes in habituation."

Manik Yiu looked at the beautiful woman in front of him who was now smiling while gently stroking Yiu's head.

"Don't be sad, if you miss us you can come here, the palace door is always wide open for you, A-Ying."

Yiu smiled widely, very wide for the first time making someone unable to take his eyes off of Yiu.

Yiu immediately moved forward hugging his mother's body, his embrace was very tight. The Queen's tears had already dripped without permission.

"Have you got to go, A-Ying, look they've been waiting for you."

Yiu let go of his embrace and before walking towards the side between the two Princes of the two countries, Yiu walked in front of Prince Xiao Ce and Emperor Wang.

"What age are you?! You crybaby!"

Prince Xiao Gie's sarcastic voice pierced Yiu's hearing making him even more reluctant to leave.

Oye ... I didn't even shed a single tear!

Just as Yiu was about to answer his brother's words, Yiu's body was already pulled towards the arms of Prince Xiao Ce.

A speck of tears escaped without the permission of Yiu's bead.

"Never show such a face, be happy. If he hurts you, I'll be here for you." Yiu nodded lightly in the middle of this brother-sister hug event.

Sometimes Yiu bungled with the attitude of his first brother which is sometimes very difficult to guess.

Emperor Wang patted Yiu's shoulders slowly making Yiu switch to hugging Emperor Wang. Her tears kept falling, it was fortunate that she turned her back on everyone so that no one saw her cry.

For some reason he felt like he did not want to leave, it was really difficult for him to leave them as if this was their last meeting.

"Keep being happy Ying, take good care of yourself. The palace door is never closed to you."

"Meimei .. We have to leave before the sun rises."

Let's just say Yiu was too weak at the breakup but that's what Yiu feels now. It was as if he had to return to feel such a great loss at a farewell.

This farewell is too painful!

The horse-drawn carriage with the royal entourage slowly walked out the palace door.
