Children of Loulan

Chapter 201 Braised Fish

After coming out of Keremu's yard, Hanguli walked on the road in a happy mood, with light and cheerful steps. Dar followed behind and keenly noticed the changes in Hanguli. She knew in her heart that Hanguli must have reached some kind of agreement with the prince, and this agreement should be very satisfactory to Hanguli.

After entering Cuihua Court, Hanguli and Dar found that Baier did not eat the braised fish. Not only did she not eat it, but she was also worried that the fish would taste bad if it was heated up after it cooled down, so she lit a brazier in the house and placed the fish next to the brazier to keep it warm. At the same time, she was also worried that the fish might get burnt if no one was watching over the brazier, so she chose to sit next to the brazier and personally watch over the precious braised fish.

When Hanguli and Dar returned to the room, they saw Baier guarding the brazier with sweat on his forehead. Dar walked up to him with concern and asked, "Baier, what are you doing? Why are you sweating so much?"

Bayer looked up when she heard the voices and saw Hanguli and Dar coming back. A happy smile immediately appeared on her face. She said excitedly: "Miss, sister, you are back! Come and eat the fish, it's still hot!"

Hanguli widened her eyes and looked at the sweaty girl in front of her in disbelief: "You...you didn't eat?"

Bayer showed a silly smile: "If you don't come back, I won't be able to enjoy the meal alone."

Hanguli frowned and said distressedly, "You could have waited until we came back to warm it up. Although the weather is not hot now, it is very painful to put a brazier in the house. Look, your clothes are soaked with sweat."

Baier smiled and explained, "How can this fish taste as good as the one fresh out of the pot after it's been heated?" She signaled the servant outside to take the brazier out and continued, "Miss, you guys eat first. I'll go take a shower and change my clothes and come back soon!"

After saying that, she slipped away like a gust of wind. "Hey!" Hanguli tried to call her, but before she could say anything, Bayer had disappeared. She looked at the braised fish that was put back on the table, and her eyes instantly turned red.

She looked at Dal again, and saw that Dal was busy opening all the doors and windows in the house, and at the same time he did not forget to ask others to bring back some ice cubes to lower the temperature in the house. Hanguli could not help but think that since the two sisters followed her and left home, they had never lived a comfortable life. Even something as simple as eating fish became extremely precious and luxurious for them.

Even now that they had arrived at Prince Xuan's Palace, they were reluctant to eat a very ordinary braised fish.

She slowly walked to the table and sat down, her eyes fixed on the delicious braised fish in front of her, but she didn't start eating. After Dahl finished his work, he came over and saw his young lady in a daze, and asked with concern: "Miss, what's wrong? Did the prince say something to you?"

Hearing Dar's voice, Hanguli came back to her senses, looked up at Dar and said, "Oh, no, I just want to wait for Baier to come and eat together."

Dale chuckled and consoled her, "Oh, miss, don't wait, eat first. You two are always waiting for each other, and the fish is getting impatient." Then, Dale picked up the chopsticks, gently picked up a piece of fish and put it in Hanguli's bowl, "She eats very quickly, and with such a delicious braised fish as an temptation, she will definitely speed up."

Hanguli watched her pick up a piece of fish for herself, but she showed no intention of eating it, so she said, "Then you should sit down and eat with us. Let's eat slowly while we wait for her!"

Dahl replied softly, "Okay!"

Before the two of them had taken two bites, Bayer came rushing back. As soon as she sat down, she saw that the fish on the table had not been touched, and asked curiously, "Hey, it's been so long, and there are still so many, you didn't eat much!"

Dahl replied: "Miss said that you like braised fish the most, so let's eat slowly and wait for you to come and eat together."

After hearing this, Baier laughed happily and looked at Hanguli, saying, "Hehe, thank you, Miss!" Then, she picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish and put it in her bowl, and then carefully picked out the fish bones. When all the fish bones were picked out, she handed the fish to Hanguli and said, "Miss, this is boneless."

Hanguli said with some concern: "You love braised fish the most, why don't you eat it yourself? I can make it myself, please eat it quickly!"

Bayer just smirked: "Miss, eat first!"

Hanguli looked at the two sisters who were happily eating fish in front of her. She felt at ease when she thought that the prince had promised not to do anything to them. The three of them finished their first braised fish meal after entering the palace with laughter.

At night, after Hanguli had packed up, she let the two sisters of Dal go back to sleep. Perhaps because she had reached an agreement with the Xuan King today, she was in a particularly good mood tonight. Lying on the bed and looking at the ceiling, she was thinking about how to convince the two sisters to agree to get married. But as she was thinking, her eyelids began to fight, and she fell asleep unknowingly.

After Dale and Baier retreated to the outer room, Dale began to clean up and wash, while Baier lay on the bed, still thinking about the delicious braised fish just now. She turned to look at Dale and said with a smile: "Sister, the braised fish tonight is really delicious. I want to eat it again tomorrow."

After washing up, Dahl replied while changing into his pajamas: "The lady said that if you like, we can eat it often in the future. We don't have to eat it only once during the New Year like in the palace!"

Hearing this, Bayer rolled over on the bed excitedly and laughed happily. Dahl looked at her and shook his head helplessly.

After a while, Dahl finished cleaning up and walked to the bedside, saying, "Then tomorrow, ask the shopkeeper to buy a few more fish and two chickens, and then cook some of our lady's exclusive health-preserving chicken soup for the prince."

After she finished speaking, she did not hear Bayer's response. Dahl turned around and found that Bayer had fallen asleep and was snoring softly. She chuckled and said, "Oh, it seems that the fish today is really delicious. You fell asleep so soon!" Then she gently pulled the quilt for Bayer and lay down on the bed herself.

The night was very quiet, and Hanguli had already fallen into a sweet dream. At this moment, the window of her room suddenly creaked, as if someone had pushed it open from outside. Then, a dark shadow jumped in from the window, moving as lightly as a cat.

The figure came to the bedside silently and looked down at Hanguli who was sleeping soundly. The moonlight shone through the window onto Hanguli's face, outlining her beautiful and peaceful features. He gently extended his fingers and gently stroked Hanguli's cheek, his eyes full of affection and love.

"Don't worry, you are my princess in this life, so I will protect you for the rest of my life, including your maidservants. I will never break my promise, and please believe me." He said softly, his voice low and firm, as if he was making a lifelong promise to Hanguli, even though Hanguli could not hear him because she was asleep.

After saying this, he carefully lifted Hanguli's quilt, fearing to wake her up. Then, he slowly got into the bed and lay side by side with Hanguli. His eyes were always on Hanguli's face, feeling her warm breath, and his heart was filled with happiness and satisfaction.
