Children of Loulan

Chapter 327 Seems to be dissatisfied with the prince

I saw Mama Ba gently covering her mouth with her hands, trying to stop smiling, but the smile kept flowing out from her eyes and eyebrows like a tide. After finally calming down a little, she said slowly: "We are laughing, the Crown Princess is probably going to start preparing a dowry again!"

Bayer was completely confused. He blinked his eyes and asked in confusion, "Ah? Someone in our family is getting married again? Why haven't I heard any news about it?"

The smile on Mama Ba's face became more and more intense, almost overflowing. She deliberately kept the secret and asked, "Think about it carefully. There are only four people in this room. Miss Dahl is already married, so is this dowry still for an old woman like me who is half buried in the ground?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hanguli and Dar couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter. For a moment, the whole room was filled with joyful laughter, as if even the air was tinged with a layer of joy. It was only then that Bayer realized that they were actually making fun of him.

In an instant, her fair little face turned red like a ripe apple, and she stammered and said coquettishly, "Oh, Aunt Ba, you...what are you talking about? I...I'm still young!"

With a teasing smile on her face, Madam Ba continued jokingly, "That's right. Our Miss Baier is still young, but Captain Mo is not! He is already in his twenties! Moreover, I heard that Captain Mo even asked the Crown Prince about the house prices in our capital a few days ago, and said that he wanted to buy a small house in this capital!"

Hanguli, who was standing by, couldn't help but become curious when she heard this. She blinked her big, lively eyes, pretended to be very serious, and asked, "Oh, you want to buy a house? That's really strange! Hasn't he been stationed in West City all year round? Besides, his parents and relatives have long passed away. What on earth is he going to use the house for?" As she spoke, Hanguli quickly glanced at Bayer who was standing next to her with a playful look.

By this time, Bayer's face had already turned red with shame. She lowered her head, fiddling with the corners of her clothes with her hands, and grumbled coquettishly: "Oh, Crown Princess, why are you following Aunt Ba to make fun of me? Humph, I...I won't pay any attention to you!"

After saying that, she turned around and walked out angrily holding the package Mo Ming had sent her. However, seeing her so cute and shy, the people present burst into laughter again.

After laughing, the smile on Hanguli's face gradually faded. She stared at Dal seriously and said slowly, "I have specially asked the prince about this Captain Mo. From what the prince said, this man has a very good character and is indeed a rare good candidate. Dal, what do you think about this matter?"

Dar pursed his lips and smiled, and replied softly: "To be honest, I have also privately asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about Captain Mo's situation. As long as he has outstanding character and a kind heart, and our Bayer is interested in him, then I naturally have no objection. After all, the most important thing is that Bayer can find a suitable husband and live happily."

At this time, Grandma Ba, who had been standing aside and listening silently, couldn't help but interrupt and said, "I think, from the fact that Captain Mo is willing to buy a house in the capital for Miss Bai'er, it can be seen that he has no intention of taking Bai'er away from the capital, let alone keeping her away from her relatives and the palace. It can be seen that Captain Mo is really a good boy with a sincere heart. If Bai'er really marries him in the future, I believe she will definitely not suffer any grievances!"

Hearing this, Hanguli couldn't help but reveal a trace of imperceptible guilt in the depths of her eyes. In fact, she knew very well that the reason why Dal was willing to marry Baixi was not out of true love, but just to be able to continue to stay in the palace and take good care of herself.

Although she had tried to persuade Dal at first, she still resolutely chose this path and married Baixi. Thinking of this, Hanguli secretly made up her mind and said softly: "Well, as long as the two of them truly love each other and support each other, I will definitely ask the prince to find a way to transfer Captain Mo back to the capital. In this way, they will not have to suffer the pain of separation after getting married."

After hearing this, Dar bowed respectfully, his face full of gratitude, and said sincerely: "Thank you very much, Princess."

During the Chinese New Year, the court only had a few days off. However, it didn't take long for the court to resume its former busyness, and all departments and provinces returned to their intensive and orderly work. As the crown prince, Keremu had a heavy responsibility and naturally did not dare to slack off. This morning, when it was still early, he got up early, carefully put on his court clothes, tidied up his appearance, and then went to the court in high spirits. Because from now on, he had to attend court on time every day to participate in government affairs.

Meanwhile, in the palace, Xilin was quietly leaning on a comfortable recliner, covered with a soft and warm blanket. A blazing charcoal fire was burning in the room, filling the whole room with warmth. Aunt Kui was carefully coaxing the Sixth Prince, who was not even a month old, patting his back patiently and humming a gentle lullaby. After a while, she finally succeeded in coaxing the Sixth Prince into sleep. Aunt Kui gently placed the child in the carefully prepared crib, her movements extremely gentle, fearing that she would wake up the little guy who had finally fallen asleep.

At this moment, Xiang Gui walked into the room slowly, holding a bowl of steaming tonic medicine. She walked lightly, afraid to make any noise. When she came to Xilin, Xiang Gui bowed slightly and said softly, "Empress Hefei, the medicine is ready. Please take it while it's hot."

Xilin looked up at the bowl of tonic, her eyes as calm as water. After a moment of silence, she suddenly asked softly, "I heard that on New Year's Eve, when the king appointed King Xuan as the crown prince, Concubine Ru seemed to be unable to hold back and was ready to make a move? Is this true?"

Aunt Kui, who had just put the Sixth Prince down, heard this and hurried over, lowering her voice and answering, "Replying to Concubine He, it is true. It is said that Concubine Ru tried to instigate those officials she had won over to speak for Prince Cheng in order to compete for the position of Crown Prince. Unfortunately, those officials were all cunning and shrewd, and none of them was willing to easily agree with Concubine Ru."

"After Concubine Ru returned to the palace, she seemed to be very angry. But after King Cheng appeared, I don't know what King Cheng said, but Concubine Ru quickly calmed down as if a spring breeze was blowing on her face. From that day on, Concubine Ru seemed to have become a different person. She was no longer as noisy as before and became much quieter. As for King Cheng, he still maintained his usual appearance of eating, drinking, having fun and being free all day long!" Aunt Kui told everyone seriously.
