You are my Consort

Fenqin kingdom

In the afternoon Zhan came to take Yibo back as he saw Yibo's neck covered with a silk cloth.

"What is this Yibo...."asked Zhan.

"Ahh....gege Fanxing and Cesar told me that I can't stay there like this.... I don't know what they mean....but they said it's for my own good..."said Yibo as Zhan realised about the marks he left on Yibo's neck.

"They are your good friends indeed...."said Zhan with a smile.

"But what happened gege....."asked Yibo.

"Nothing Yibo...."said Zhan while laughing silently.

In the palace
"Come after getting fresh to mother's room.... mother had called you to meet her...."said Zhan and Yibo nodded.

While Zhan walked to his mother's room. He entered inside and bowed to Sha.

"Zhan....i hope you have done all the preparations for our departure...."asked Sha.

"Yes mother...."said Zhan.

"Mother can I ask you something...."asked Zhan.

"Yes son...."said Sha.

"How did your mind suddenly changed.....i mean....you accepted Yibo...."asked Zhan.

"See Zhan.....that day i was coming to Yibo's room to talk with him, but I came to over heard your conversation.....i realised that even if he is mischievous.....he is afterall a kid who wants some love and affection....i am a mother too Zhan....i can understand....so that's why I decided to not to scold him again...i can not give him the love as his actual mother but atleast I can be polite to him. And about accepting him....that I did for you nothing matters for me more than your happiness...."said Sha.

"Thank you so much mother....."said Zhan with a smile as Yibo came there. He bowed to Zhan's mother.

"Come Yibo sit here...."said Sha, Yibo went and sat beside him.

"Listen Yibo.....every year there is a consort competition held between different kingdoms and all the consorts take part in it....and this time you have to take part in it too....."said Sha.

"But mother I am not a girl...."said Yibo with a pout.

"I know Yibo.... I don't even want to force you....but I have no option... it's the matter of our family's respect....you don't have to do anything... okay.... it's better not to do anything than messing it up...."said Sha.

"So....i hope you will take part...."said Sha and Yibo looked at Zhan who nodded his head while gesturing Yibo to agree.

"Okay...."said Yibo.

"Good....now you two should go and take your meal...."said Sha and they both went out after bowing to her.

Zhan and Yibo ate in Yibo's room and then went to Zhan's room for sleeping.

"Yibo....you sleep here....i have some work to complete....i will come back soon..."said Zhan and Yibo nodded.

Zhan went out of the room.
Zhan came back after almost half an hour and he looked at Yibo who was sleeping like a baby while curled up in the blanket and holding his pillow.

"Aww...how cute my little baby is..."said Zhan and ruffled Yibo's hairs.
Zhan layed beside him and removed the pillow from his hand and took him inside his embrace. As Yibo quickly wrapped his arms around Zhan.

Zhan chukkled at his little baby who was sleeping like a pig while clutching to him.

Next day
"Wake up Yibo.....we have to go...."said Zhan while shaking Yibo to wake him up.
