Children of Loulan

Chapter 326: Why are you laughing?

Thinking of this, Hanguli's heart could not help but ache. Although she had long understood this truth, when she really faced it, the pain was still unbearable. But she knew that as a princess, such things might not be avoided. So, she could only silently warn herself again and again in her heart: there would probably be many concubines and maids in the palace in the future, and she must learn to accept and tolerate!

Feeling the instability of the person in his arms, Keremu's heart tightened. He quickly lowered his head and asked with concern: "Li'er, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" His eyes were full of worry as he stared at Hanguli's slightly pale face.

Hanguli shook her head gently, her delicate voice carrying a hint of worry: "No, Your Highness, I'm fine. It's just that I overheard in the palace today that Madam and I took a whole day and night to give birth. And... I can't help but recall that when my mother gave birth to my younger brother, she encountered a difficult delivery and almost lost her life. Thinking of this, I feel a little... " As she spoke, a hint of fear and worry appeared in her eyes.

After hearing this, Keremu was so distressed that he tightened his hands again and held Hanguli more tightly in his arms. He gently comforted her: "I'm sorry, my Li'er. I am really powerless in this matter and cannot bear the pain of childbirth for you. But you must believe me, as long as I am here, I will protect you and your child and will never allow any accidents to happen." His tone was firm and sincere, as if he had made an eternal oath.

Hearing this, Hanguli smiled, as charming as a blooming spring flower. She nodded gently, leaned softly in Keremu's warm embrace, and said softly: "Well, I naturally believe in His Royal Highness. With your words, I feel much more at ease."

At this moment, Keremu felt a little conflicted. Just now, he hesitated for a moment whether to tell Hanguli that his mother wanted to take a concubine for him. However, when he saw how worried and afraid she was of giving birth, Keremu finally made up his mind and decided to conceal the news. After all, he had decisively rejected his mother's proposal, so why should he make his beloved worry more?

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the capital was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, and the atmosphere was festive and peaceful. However, the court was quiet. All affairs in the court were suspended due to the New Year holiday. Officials from various provinces and departments returned home to reunite with their families and enjoy this rare leisure time.

But there was one person who was different from the others, and that was Batur. Although the court had given him a holiday, he still called his friends every day to indulge in music, eating, drinking and having fun with his group of friends. He spent the whole day carefree and looked like he had nothing to do.

In contrast, Aidil seemed particularly depressed. Ever since he learned that Concubine Xian was the murderer of his mother, he seemed to have lost his soul, and his former vitality and smile were gone. In the past, he would always happily enter the palace to spend the holidays with Concubine Xian, but now Concubine Xian's family has been executed, and even Xilin has safely given birth to a son. But the child can only call him brother, so this New Year is undoubtedly very lonely for Aidil.

He curled up alone in the mansion, as if he was isolated from the world. Seeing his master so depressed, Ah Cheng was extremely anxious. So he made careful arrangements, trying to create a little New Year's atmosphere. The house was full of red lanterns, exquisite spring couplets were posted, and the table was filled with rich food and wine.

However, no matter how hard Acheng tried, Aidier could not get interested at all. He just sat at the table silently, drinking one cup after another, with a blank look in his eyes, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him. Acheng knew the pain in his master's heart, but facing this situation, he felt powerless and could only watch silently by his side, praying that time would heal all the pain.

In sharp contrast, the Xuanwang Palace was filled with a festive and joyful atmosphere. On this special night of New Year's Eve, when people were immersed in the joy of family reunion and spending the holiday together, the king unexpectedly announced that Xuanwang would be made the crown prince.

According to common sense, once he was canonized as the crown prince, he should move into the East Palace. However, the king's decision came so suddenly that the palace had not yet made any corresponding arrangements and preparations. Therefore, Keremu and his companions are still temporarily living in the original Xuanwang Mansion.

Keremu thought to himself: Dar had already married Baixi, so he should give the newlyweds more time to spend alone together; besides, after the New Year, he would have to participate in government affairs and would not be able to accompany Hanguli all the time as usual. With this in mind, he decided to let the experienced and trusted Ba Mama serve Hanguli closely, and also assigned four smart and well-behaved maids to serve her together.

You know, Hanguli used to dislike having many attendants around her, let alone strangers. But now the situation is different. She is pregnant and has many inconveniences in her movements. At the same time, she doesn't want to make Keremu worry about this. After some thought, she finally nodded and agreed.

The mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and was filled with a festive atmosphere. Keremu and Hanguli sat in the main hall with a happy face, holding a thick stack of red envelopes in their hands. The servants greeted them and gave each of them a red envelope. The red envelope was bulging, and it was obvious that it contained a lot of silver. Not only that, he also specially prepared a special reward for Baixi and Daer, and it was obvious that he valued them very much.

At this time, Keremu was secretly thinking that if this loving couple could give birth to a son or daughter, he would definitely adopt them as his or her adopted son or daughter and love them well. Meanwhile, Bayer was happily opening a package sent from afar.

The package was from Mo Ming. When she opened it, she found it was filled with all kinds of delicious food and novel and interesting things, which made her dazzled. What surprised her even more was that there was also a long letter in the package.

Bayer couldn't wait to unfold the letter and read the words carefully. As the warm and kind words came into her eyes, her face was always full of a bright smile, and that smile was as beautiful as a flower blooming in spring. Dahl, who was standing by, watched her quietly. Bayer chuckled from time to time and nodded slightly from time to time, completely immersed in the world of the letter.

Dal looked at the woman in front of him who was as happy as a flower. After a moment, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighed softly: "Oh, it's true that girls can't be kept when they grow up! Look at her, Princess, her mouth is almost reaching her ears from laughing!" As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of cheerful laughter rang out in the room.

Baier was immersed in his own thoughts when he suddenly heard a sudden laugh, like a thunder that woke him up from his trance. She looked up at the people laughing in front of her with a confused look on her face, and asked in confusion, "What are you laughing at?"
