Children of Loulan

Chapter 214 Red Dates and Lotus Seed Porridge

Soon, the sedan chair arrived at the gate of the Queen Mother's palace. Keremu and Hanguli got off the sedan chair and were led into the palace by Mulian.

The palace was magnificently decorated, showing the majesty and dignity of the royal family. Keremu and Hanguli followed Mulian through corridors and finally arrived in front of the queen's bedroom.

Inside the bedroom, the Queen Mother was sitting on the throne, waiting for their arrival with a smile on her face, while the Queen was sitting at the bottom.

Seeing Keremu and Hanguli, the queen stood up to greet them and said cordially, "You are here."

Keremu and Hanguli smiled and bowed, "Grandson greets grandmother, child greets mother!"

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, her eyes full of love as she said, "Get up, everyone." The Queen also nodded and motioned for the two to get up.

After hearing the Queen Mother's words, Hanguli and Keremu slowly stood up. Hanguli carefully supported Keremu and let him sit down slowly. Keremu looked at Hanguli gratefully, and his heart was filled with warmth.

The Queen Mother looked at the two people who were so close in front of her, and a relieved smile appeared on her face. She asked with concern: "Mu'er, how is your injury?"

Keremu quickly replied: "Thank you grandma for your concern. My grandson's injuries are no longer serious. This is all thanks to the careful care of your granddaughter-in-law. My grandson can now eat, drink and sleep!" Keremu said with a smile on his face.

After hearing Keremu's answer, the Queen Mother finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Haha, that's good. I have been worried about your injury. Seeing that you are in good spirits now, I am relieved."

The Queen Mother looked at Hanguli again and said softly: "Good child, thank you for your hard work!"

Hanguli stood up and said respectfully: "This is what I should do. It can't be called hard work!"

The Queen Mother quickly extended her hand to signal her to sit down: "Good child, please sit down quickly. There is no need to be so reserved. I am the grandmother of the King Xuan, and also your grandmother. Just treat this place as your own home!"

The queen also chimed in: "Yes, child, you are now the Princess of Xuan, we are all family, don't be too restrained, just be natural!" Keremu also looked at her and said gently: "Sit down!"

Hanguli nodded and said softly: "Thank you, grandmother, thank you, mother. I will take better care of the prince in the future!"

Keremu was moved by Hanguli's gentle look. He gently held Hanguli's hand, his affectionate eyes full of love!

Hanguli lowered her head shyly. The queen mother looked at the loving couple in front of her, her heart full of emotion. She smiled gently, and then said to the palace maid beside her: "Go, bring the things I prepared!"

The maid took the order and turned to leave. The Queen Mother looked at the two and said, "You came to the palace so early, you haven't had breakfast yet, right?"

Keremu chuckled and said, "Indeed, I haven't had breakfast yet!"

The Queen Mother looked at the two of them lovingly and said, "I knew you hadn't used it yet, so I had it prepared long ago." She then shouted outside, "Quick, serve the meal!"

The palace maid outside the door responded, "Yes!" Then two palace maids came in with two trays. After they walked to Keremu and Hanguli, they put down the trays in their hands. On the trays was a bowl of red dates, lotus seeds and millet porridge, which smelled fragrant.

The Queen Mother smiled at Hanguli and Keremu and said softly, "You didn't have red date and lotus seed porridge when you got married. Today, I specially asked the cook to make some for you. However, replace the rice with millet. It will help Mu'er's injury recover and is also very beneficial to women's health!"

After hearing what the Queen Mother said, Hanguli and Keremu looked at each other and blushed slightly. Keremu immediately stood up and saluted, saying respectfully: "Grandson thanks grandma. Grandma is so thoughtful. I had completely forgotten about this!"

As he spoke, he and Hanguli picked up their bowls and slowly began to eat!

The Queen Mother glanced at him reproachfully and said with a smile: "You are just a child, how can you know so much? I will naturally think more about you. I only hope that you can be of one mind in the future and add children to my Loulan royal family as soon as possible!" After saying this, she couldn't help laughing out loud: "Hahahaha"

At this time, the queen on the side, with an embarrassed look on her face, bowed her head and said softly: "It was I who forgot. Thanks to my mother's good memory, I made up for it today. Otherwise, I would have made a fool of myself!"

After hearing what the queen said, the queen mother stared at her coldly, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly: "Queen, you are still too soft-hearted. You only know how to cry all day long. You don't have the dignity that a mother of a country should have!"

The queen still replied respectfully: "Yes, mother, I am right. I know I was wrong!"

The Queen Mother snorted in dissatisfaction: "Is it enough to just know that you are wrong?"

The queen said hastily, "I will definitely correct it!"

The Queen Mother looked at Hanguli and Keremu who were eating with gusto, and resisted the urge to continue scolding the Queen. After all, the children were present, so she had to give the Queen some face.

Then the Queen Mother turned to Hanguli and Keremu and said, "How is it? My cook is doing a good job!"

Keremu put down his bowl and chopsticks, smiled happily and said, "It's more than good! This is the best chef in Loulan. Grandma, do you have any more? I want another bowl!"

The queen mother was very happy to hear her grandson say this, and quickly replied: "Yes, yes, yes, I know you like it, so I asked them to prepare some more!"

She shouted to the outside of the door: "Someone, come and serve another bowl for King Xuan!" Keremu smiled and said: "Thank you, Grandmother!"

The queen mother looked at him eating happily and felt very satisfied. After they both finished eating, the queen mother looked at Hanguli and said, "Child, come here!"

Hanguli stood up, walked to the Queen Mother, and bowed: "Grandma!"

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "When the Imperial Master chose you to enter the Xuan Wang Mansion, I said that if you married him, it would bring good luck to the Xuan Wang, and the Xuan Wang's injury would be healed. Then I would definitely recognize you as my granddaughter-in-law. Now the Xuan Wang's injury has really healed. Although it is not fully recovered yet, it is only a matter of time. So today I will tell you that you are my granddaughter-in-law, the Xuan Wang's legitimate wife!"

When Hanguli heard this, a trace of surprise and emotion flashed in her eyes. She lowered her head and said softly, "Thank you, grandma!"

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, showing her satisfaction. She slowly stretched out her hand and waved gently to a palace maid standing behind her, motioning her to come forward. The palace maid immediately took small steps to the Queen Mother, holding an exquisite tray in both hands, bowed respectfully and raised the tray. Hanguli turned her head curiously, her eyes fell on the tray, and saw a snow-white jade plaque on the tray. The jade plaque was crystal clear, as delicate and smooth as sheep fat, making people love it.

The Queen Mother gently picked up the jade token and carefully handed it to Hanguli. Hanguli was filled with gratitude and quickly stretched out her hands to receive this precious gift. She carefully examined the jade token and found that one side was engraved with a phoenix spreading its wings, with smooth and natural lines, as if it was about to jump out of the jade token. On the other side were three large characters engraved: "Princess Xuan".

The Queen Mother said to Hanguli earnestly: "This is a token carefully carved from the finest white jade. There is only one in the whole Loulan. As long as you hold this token, you can enter and leave the palace freely at any time. In addition..."
