Royal Engagement: The Honeymoon Chronicles

Ally and Bullies

(BAOZANG)

"And so, what do you plan to do?" I asked my brother in law, and my most favorite person in the Palace right now, while we are having breakfast together this morning.

My brother's delightful Consort, surprised me with fragrant croissants, jams, fritata and mimosas this morning. Bribes so he can moan about his husband and bodyguard.

Apparently, Qing ge and Chong ge goes full metal protective mode again when someone said a few insults on Dayu gege. I mean sure, some of those insults crossed some lines but if you are a Royal who cannot take obnoxious criticisms or bigot losers then this life will be tragic for you.

Dayu gege only joined our ranks almost four months ago, officially at least, but he is proving to be more adaptable at being a Royal Consort than my brother on accepting the fact that there are losers out there who will have nasty things to say about his marriage to another man.

Sometimes, my brother can be a sensitive ass.

"I don't know," Dayu gege sighed with his shoulders slumping as he poured more juice in his tumbler. "Qing won't let insult touch me. He thinks an insult to me will reflect on him..."

"And he is right about that," I interjected that fact.

Dayu gege rolled his eyes at me. "But if he will jump at every insult that will come my way, you brother will not know peace. He will be busy investigating people and suing them."

"Thank God my dear brother is not reading comments in social media," I mussed as I spread jam on my croissant.

Dayu gege winced, "I might have conspired with Lao to hide the nasty comments about me on social media from Qing." He admitted in a guilty tone.

I chuckled at that, "Oh my God, can I tell Qing ge that?"

"Don't you dare!" Dayu gege widened his eyes at me. I raised my hands and nodded at him. "Fine, spoil my fun. But you doing that means you are shielding your Prince from the reality."

Dayu gege sighed again, "I just don't want him to bother about petty comments on social media about me. Your brother has already a lot on his plate. He is a Prince, the heir to an actual Throne, and an active manager of your business empire. He got so much things going on on his life that I don't want him to worry about me."

"But you are his love." I batted my eyelashes at my brother in law. "Qing ge is crazy about you and he doesn't want anyone saying things that might hurt your feelings." I defended my brother.

"But I am not perfect," Dayu gege reminded us of that fact. "And I won't be able to please everybody as well. There's about a billion people in China, Baozang, it will be impossible for all of them to like me. And it will also be impossible to stop people who dislike me from saying hurtful comments. We are not in a tyrannical society. Everyone has freedom to express their opinion. Even on their Consort."

"Yeah...reality sucks." I nodded.

Dayu gege smiled, "I don't know about you but I love my reality. I have your brother. I am keeping busy and I am looking forward to my future with all my loved ones..."

"Aww, you are such a ray of sunshine." I chuckled at him.

Dayu gege laughed at that. "Anyways, how is therapy?" He asked.

"Wonderful, let's talk about my problem this time..." I sighed while looking down at my plate.

My brother in law reach out to touch my hand. "Is it still hard?" Dayu gege asked in concern.

I shrugged, "Sometimes it's hard, other times it's easy. Talking about my family and my business with the therapist is the easy part. Talking about Heise and the future..."
