Gong!
The sound of a huge gong echoed throughout the dragon field where the Crown Princeâs entourage had finally arrived. The emperor and high ranking officials were already waiting in front of the dragon hall to welcome the entourage which was escorted by many gold-armoured troops.
The golden carriage stopped in front of the courtyard of the Golden Dragon hall, the Emperor and Empress could not wait to welcome the Crown Prince who got off the carriage with BaiYing in tow.
âHehehehe this kid is coming home finallyâ
âSincerely Your Majesty the Emperor, may Your Majesty always be blessed and long liveâ exclaimed the Crown Prince, which was followed by all his followers who lowered their knees to the ground, including XuYi who did not expect the entourage he was following would enter the huge courtyard of YueYang imperial palaceâs Golden Dragon, was it just a dream?
âLong live His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen!â voices of exclamations resounded simultaneously.
Emperor rubbed his chin while laughing made his cheeks rounded.
âHeheheh please arise, stand up everyone, Crown Prince you must be tired, right?â
Emperor approached the Crown Prince and helped his son up, but the man was more interested in helping BaiYing who was kneeling beside the Crown Prince, Emperorâs face couldnât stop smiling seeing BaiYingâs smiling face whoâs shone in the dim oil lamps surrounding the field.
.....
âGreetings Your Majestyâ
âHehehehe sweet child, look at your face, ouch the Emperor really misses this sweet face of my Son-in-law, how are you?â
LuoXiang pursed his lips, that rotten Emperor took BaiYing to walk with him and ignored him.
âHehehe Your highness, sorry that Yingâer has made Your Majesty the Emperor and Queen anxiousâ
The Queen approached, she pulled BaiYingâs hand from the Emperorâs grip.
âCome on sweet child, letâs rest inside, quickly tell me what you guys did during the tripâ
Emperor stuttered, heâs too late held the kidâs hand tightly make the Queen easily take him away, Crown Prince stopped in front of him, covering his mouth holding back laughter at the sight of his Father wry face.
âAhem, Father, Son will have a rest inside.â
Firmly the Crown Prince walked past the Emperor and followed the Empress who pulled BaiYing in, all the Queenâs servants and the Crown Prince slowly followed behind.
Meanwhile, Elder Yi who was walking with ShinYa stopped in front of the Emperor and saluted.
âGreetings Your Majesty the Emperor, may Your Majesty always be blessed and long liveâ greeted the two bowing their heads deeply in front of the Emperor, the Emperor didnât want to look at the two and still focused on seeing the Crown Prince and others who had entered the Dragon hall, but, at a glance the person who bowed his head in front of him attracting his attention.
âEm, you areâ
Elder Yi smiled, the silver-haired young man tossed his long shiny hair behind his neck, smiling at the Emperorâs eyes looking at him with narrowed eyes.
Elder Yi smiled.
âHehe, Your Majesty, youâre quite old, but, of course, Your Majesty still look as handsome as ever, really, this is to be expected.â
Emperor looked at Elder Yiâs face for a moment, observing the young man, from the look in his eyes and smile he seemed to know him, but, is it possible? and the young man is very brave to look directly into his eyes, of course, the Emperor also canât scold him because those eyes are quite familiar, he never forgets those eyes.
âEh, this young man, is it possible that the descendant of the great Master BaoYi?â
Elder Yi clenched his fists back in front of his bowed head.
âHehe, it can be said like that Your Majesty, if Your Majesty is pleased,â said Elder Yi half-bowed pointing towards the Dragon hall.
While ChenMing was still standing near BeiYau, arranging his men who were busy unloading the Crown Prince and BaiYingâs luggage from the carriage, XuYi was standing not far from them, the young man was visibly breaking out in cold sweat, his knees buckled, he almost fell down if he didnât hold on to the rock nearby.
âLook at him, that young man seems to be about to faintâ ChenMing whispered.
BeiYau looked at XuYi, he smiled at ChenMing who looked exhausted.
âHehe Prince, Prince better go back and rest, Princeâs face already looks so tiredâ
ChenMing pulled his sore waist, of course, sat for days on the horse and only stopped to eat and drink and go to the restroom, who wouldnât be tired?
âHeh alright, Iâll go inside first, donât take too long Guard Beiâ
Several small maids followed ChenMing towards the Dragon hall, leaving BeiYau who slowly approached XuYi who was standing frozen in place.
âYoung master Xuâ
Hearing his name being called XuYi immediately straightened up tensely.
âYess I!â
BeiYau suppressed his smile, the young man looked pale.
âEh Ma-Master Bei, uh, did I call you right?â
Bei Yau nodded.
âIt can be said like that, but in this palace, you can call me Guard Bei, em, His Highness the Crown Prince ordered, tomorrow morning Young Master Xu can meet with CiaoTi, head of the administrative officer in his office, and he will assign you a position in his office, or else, Your Majesty has also been thinking, if Young Master Xu wants, Young Master can also join as an administrative officer in investigator BaoYeâs office, I heard they are also in need of a new officialâ
XuYi stuttered, he opened his eyes wide, what, he did you hear wrong?
âWhat do you mean sir? Become an administrative officer? B-but, I havenât taken the exam yet, can this happen?â
BeiYau smiled.
âHehe, with His Highness the Crown Prince anything is possible, he has seen Young Master Xuâs sincerity, and administrative officials are the lowest level of palace officials, as His Majesty said, it doesnât need to pass the exam to get in the position, but if you donât want to, you can try to take the entrance exam and if you among the highest score, you can occupy your own office as a new official, and for a level five official whose workplace is not necessarily located near the palace, every young official will get an official assignment in an area that has been determined by a high-ranking palace official and...â BeiYau didnât finish speaking XuYi had already clenched his fists in front of him. his head.
âIâm very grateful for the administrative officer position, I donât have the slightest experience, being a level five official isnât what Iâm looking for, and a small administrative officer is already very good for me, this is the opportunity that everyone has been waiting forâ
BeiYau chuckled, seeing a young man who had just turned nineteen in front of him for a moment, an innocent young man who was not afraid to take every opportunity that lay before his eyes, an arrogant young master who turned into a sincere young man.
âHehehe, an administrative officer may be the smallest post, but you are still very young, there will be plenty of time to develop, at least thatâs what His Highness the Crown Prince can give me right nowâ
âIf it possible, I really want to thank His Highness the Crown Prince, I didnât think about it before, I was so stupid not to recognize His Majesty, servant, deserves punishment, I really am so stupid.â
BeiYau chuckled once again.
âHehehe itâs not Young Master Xuâs fault, and Iâm sure His Majesty the Viceroy will also definitely invite Young Master Xu to his pavilion for a feast tomorrow afternoon, so you have the opportunity to express your thanks in personâ
XuYi who lowered his head in almost tears, wiped his tears with his sleeves, not expecting what had just happened to him, after what had happened all this time, the young man finally couldnât hold himself back and burst into tears.
âEms, sister Yan, Brother managed to enter the palace, ems, this, this is good news isnât it?â
BeiYau patted XuYiâs shoulder who was moved to tears until his back shook.
âHehe Young Master Xu, be strong, this is just the beginning of all the difficulties you will face in the future, you realized that being an officer is not as easy as you think it will be, and a low-rank officer as the administrative officer will face more job than others, you have to understand that.â
XuYi nodded, he wiped his tears and smiled.
âHehe, yes, of course, Masâ uh Guard Bei, I realized that, after all that happened, itâs so lucky Servant still can have the position at the Main Palace, thatâs, what I dream of all this time studying so hard.â
BeiYau raised his hand to ask a few palace maids to approach.
âYes Guard Beiâ
âPlease take young master Xu to rest in the guest pavilion in the Crown Princeâs palace, he will stay there for the time being waiting for the official mess to be available, give all the best, this is the Crown Princeâs orderâ
The two young male servants nodded his head.
âYes Guard Beiâ
