Chapter 12

The Blind Concubine made an "Ahh" sound, "The man just now is your older brother?"

"Mm!", The child eagerly nodded, "I wanted brother to take me here to play. He didn't agree. So I secretly followed him...."

"Is that so....", The Blind Concubine said, "Then, let me accompany you to play."

The child suddenly lifted his head, "For real?"

"Of course!!"

"That's great!" The child jumped up in joy. His soft hair on his forehead was swaying about, "The palace people are so unwilling to play with me!"

This time, it was Xiao Bao's turn to be surprised: "You are such an unlucky child for you are unable to have fun?"

The young boy grumbled, his eyes downcast and his head drooped. "I want to climb trees, all of the palace maids knelt and begged me to not climb up. I just wanted them to play the trip and tumble game, (wrestling). In the end, all of them, one by one was like a pile of wooden logs, motionless and unmoved. I shouted until my throat hurt and my voice hoarse, still there wasn't anybody who came and hurled me..."

Xiao Bao thought: Who told you to have an Emperor as a brother. To change with me, I still wouldn't dare too.

The Blind Concubine had a slight urged to laugh, he pulled the child's hand, "Next time, if you want to play, just come and find me here, I will play with you. "

"Mm." The child nodded his head repeatedly.

He perched up his chest as he ensured: "From now on, whoever dared to bully you, just tell me. I will protect you!"

The Blind Concubine narrowed his eyes into a smile: "Alright."

Then added: "You still haven't told me, what is your name?"

The child crossed his waist, straightened his back and puffed his chest, with a loud and clear voice he replied: "My name is Rui Ze. I am a prince!"

The Blind Concubine with an amused smile on his face, knelt down in front of him. Softly and gently said: "Greetings, little prince."

The little prince followed the standard patterns: "Stand up."

Xiao Bao inwardly said: Good gracious! He truly looked like the real deal.

The Blind Concubine picked up the kite that the Emperor gave him just now and told Rui Ze, "Let's go outside and fly this kite."

The little prince promptly said yes. In the flapping of a wind, he had dashed out.

Xiao Bao still in the middle of feeding the two Acacia birds and called out to them, busily stretched out his head to say: "Be careful!"

Xiao Bao stomped his foot irritatingly, "I'm not worried about him! Let him be. I just want you to be careful. Do not because of bumps against that rice dumpling*, you harm yourself!"

*t/n : Rice dumpling , 肉粽 , Zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) are traditionally eaten during the Duanwu Festival, which falls on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar (approximately late-May to mid-June).

The Blind Concubine amusingly laughed: "I know."

With his face beaming with a smile, "He is indeed a little prince, don't be so rude."

Xiao Bao was about to weep a tearless cry. Earlier, was an Emperor, then came a prince. Not to mention his not allowed to move about master. Why wouldn't they let them pass their lives quietly.

The Blind Concubine himself, of course he couldn't see at all. He was purely glad to have a child come to play. Smilingly holding the kite and went outside.
