Children of Loulan

Chapter 387 Careful

After hearing this, Hanguli's face immediately lit up with a happy smile. She looked at her brother affectionately and said gently: "Maimaiti, there are countless precious books in the East Palace. If you have any books you want to read, just tell me and I will definitely ask someone to send them to you."

Mamtim scratched his head, looking a little shy and embarrassed, and replied softly: "Thank you for your concern, sister, but Your Highness has already considered it carefully. When we first arrived here yesterday, the books we needed were already neatly placed in the room where I live."

"What? His Highness has already prepared everything?" Upon hearing this news, she couldn't help but reveal a trace of embarrassment on her face, but it soon turned into a faint smile, and she said softly: "Haha, he is really meticulous, even more attentive than me as his daughter!"

Mamtim, who was standing by, immediately agreed, "Sister, His Highness really treats you with all his heart! We are thousands of miles away from him, yet he has managed to arrange everything so thoughtfully. This shows how thoughtful he is!"

Han's mother also smiled and nodded in agreement, "That's right, His Highness really loves you. My daughter, you must serve him wholeheartedly in the future!"

Hanguli nodded slightly and said with a coquettish smile: "Oh, mother, don't worry, I understand all these principles!"

At this time, Han's father said with a serious face: "My daughter, although marrying into the Eastern Palace is a matter of supreme honor, life in the palace is not as easy and comfortable as you imagine. His Highness has not yet taken a concubine, but if he plans to do so in the future, you must not be jealous, and you must take good care of his entire harem. At the same time, you must be more careful and don't be calculated by those with ulterior motives. Protect yourself and your children!"

Maimaiti, who was standing by, patted his chest and assured, "Dad, you can relax! When I become successful in the future, even if someone dares to plot against me secretly, I will definitely be her solid and reliable backing and protect her!"

Hanguli turned to look at Mamtim and asked with concern: "By the way, brother, have you submitted the poems you wrote to His Highness for review? I wonder what His Highness thinks of them?"

Mamtim said softly with a shy look on his face: "I...I have presented the article to Your Highness for review!" After that, he lowered his head slightly, not daring to look at Hanguli.

Hanguli stared at Mamtim with her eyes full of expectation and eagerness, quietly waiting for him to continue. After a moment, she couldn't help but ask: "What did His Highness say after reading it? Did he give any comments or opinions?"

At this time, Han's mother smiled knowingly and took over the conversation, saying, "Your Highness, he is still a long way from being the top scholar, but it shouldn't be a problem for him to be the runner-up!"

Hanguli was greatly surprised when she heard this. She turned her head sharply to look at Mamtim and exclaimed in disbelief: "Really? Mamtim, you have only studied seriously for a few years? How can you achieve such a high level of achievement? It's amazing!"

Mamtim was praised by Hanguli in person, and his cheeks instantly became hot, as red as a ripe apple. He twisted his body uncomfortably, trying to hide his embarrassment.

Seeing Mamtim so shy, Han's mother couldn't help but laugh softly and explained gently: "Not long after you married into His Highness's house, His Highness sent people to send back a lot of books, and often asked about Mamtim's study through letters. Not only that, later he even invited a teacher to live in our house, who would carefully guide Mamtim's homework every day!"

Hanguli's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief. She stared at her brother, her voice unconsciously rising: "Ah? What? Then...then you wrote so many letters before, why didn't you tell me once?"

When asked by his sister, Mamtim felt embarrassed and ashamed. He scratched his head, blushed and replied hesitantly: "Sister... I thought you knew it a long time ago, so I didn't tell you." After saying this, Mamtim didn't dare to look up at Hanguli's eyes, but just kept teasing the child in his arms.

Time passed quickly, and as night fell, the family sat together to enjoy dinner. After dinner, Hanguli returned to the palace with her husband Keremu.

When they entered the palace, Madam Ba had been waiting for them for a long time. She came forward with a friendly and flattering smile on her face and said, "Your Highness, you are finally back. I have something good to give you."

As she spoke, Madam Ba carefully took out a small exquisite sachet from her bosom and handed it to Hanguli, continuing, "My queen, this is the amulet that the mother and daughter of Huimin Hall specially went to the temple to pray for you. Do you still remember them?"

Hanguli took the amulet from Ba Mama's hand and looked at it carefully. The image of the kind and simple mother and daughter emerged in her mind. She nodded and smiled and responded: "Yes, of course I remember them. I wonder how they are doing now? Is everything okay?"

Grandma Ba's face was full of smiles, and she replied kindly: "To answer your question, everything is fine! The woman is much healthier than when she first came. Nowadays, she helps clean the shop every day, keeping it clean inside and out. She also washes clothes and cooks for everyone. Her cooking skills are really good! Not only that, she also reclaimed a small vegetable plot in the backyard and planted a variety of vegetables. The lovely little girl is also very well-behaved and sensible. She follows the shopkeeper Ba all day long, picking up the medicinal herbs together, and occasionally helps out with something else."

Hearing this, Hanguli nodded slightly to show her satisfaction, and then asked: "So, in this case, are they working for nothing?"

Madam Ba waved her hands and explained, "Before, Baixi had mentioned that he would give them some wages as a reward. But the woman refused to accept it. She said that she had been living a very difficult life since she was cruelly kicked out of the house by her in-laws. She had hardly had a full meal. Now that she has a place to live here and can have three meals a day, it is a great blessing for them. How can she ask for wages? So no matter what, she was determined not to accept it."

Hanguli nodded her head with approval, and then continued to ask: "If that's the case, have the rewards they should have received during the New Year this year been delivered to them?"

Grandma Ba said with a smile on her face, "It has been delivered. The mother and daughter are really grateful! After receiving the reward, they did not delay at all. They immediately went to the temple outside the city with full of gratitude and prayed devoutly for the gods' blessing. Finally, they got the amulet. Look, early this morning, they rushed over non-stop and delivered the amulet!"
