Children of Loulan

Chapter 383: Have More Children

However, surprisingly, the little prince seemed to have a clear goal, and he began to crawl towards the Queen Mother without hesitation. His chubby little hands and feet moved forward with great effort, and every time he crawled a certain distance, he would stop, raise his round little head, blink his big eyes, and look around, as if to confirm whether his route was correct.

Time passed by bit by bit. Although the little prince was not very fast, he kept crawling towards the queen mother. Finally, after unremitting efforts, he successfully arrived at the queen mother's feet. Then, he stretched out his two pink little hands, raised them high above his head, and made a "baby" sound, obviously wanting the queen mother to hug him.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother bent down with joy, hugged the little prince tightly in her arms, and then gently placed him on her lap. After the little prince sat firmly, his black eyes were immediately attracted by a plate of cakes on the Queen Mother's table. Without any hesitation, he reached out and grabbed the cakes.

This sudden action caused everyone present to burst into laughter, especially the king, who could not help but joked: "Haha, it turns out that our little grandson crawled over here so anxiously because he took a fancy to great grandmother's cakes!" After hearing this, everyone laughed even more happily.

At this time, the Queen Mother looked at the little guy in her arms with a loving face, letting him fiddle with the plate of cakes. It turned out that the Queen Mother had been recuperating for half a year due to illness. Although she has recovered now, the imperial physician still advised that the diet should be light. Therefore, the cakes on the Queen Mother's table are different from those of others. It must be this uniqueness that attracted the little prince.

Just when everyone thought that the lovely little prince simply wanted to taste the delicious cakes in front of the great grandmother, something unexpected happened. The little prince stretched out his chubby little hand and carefully picked up a piece of exquisite cake, but he did not put it into his cherry mouth as everyone expected. Instead, he raised his head, blinked his big watery eyes, and stared straight at the elegant and magnificent empress dowager sitting on the high throne.

Then, the little prince raised the fragrant cake in his hand high above his head and passed it to the queen mother with great effort. The queen mother laughed heartily at the warm and funny scene in front of her, so that her lips, which were originally tightly closed, opened wide because of the smile.

The queen mother looked at the sensible and well-behaved little prince with a loving face, lowered her head slightly, opened her mouth gently, and caught the cake that the little prince brought to her mouth. After the queen mother successfully took a bite and chewed it carefully, the little prince finally let go of his hand with satisfaction, and then quickly grabbed another piece of cake, stuffed it into his little mouth impatiently, and began to eat it with relish.

The queen on the side couldn't help laughing when she saw this, and said to the queen mother jokingly: "Look at our little prince, he is really close to Taizu's mother! Even though there are such delicious cakes in front of him, he still wants to let Taizu taste it first."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled even more happily, and her eyes curved into crescent shapes. She stroked the little prince's soft hair with joy and said softly: "Oh, this child is really adorable. When he turns one year old, why not let him stay with me and let me raise him myself. What do you think, Prince?" After that, the Queen Mother cast her eyes on Keremu, who had been silent all the time, with a questioning look in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Keremu hurriedly stepped forward and replied respectfully: "It is a great blessing for me to be taught by my grandmother in person! As a grandson, I would certainly love to have you. " After saying this, a slightly relieved smile appeared on his face, as if he was very satisfied with this arrangement!

The Queen Mother smiled slightly, and that smile was as beautiful as a flower blooming in spring. She said softly, "Are you really willing to give this child to me?"

Keremu hurriedly bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother, and then replied with a playful smile: "Oh, my grandmother, you don't know! Since this little guy came into the world, after handling state affairs every day, I have to rush to see him as soon as I get out of court. As a result, I have even been squeezed out of the time to accompany the Crown Princess! Now it happens that you are taking him away to educate him personally, so I can spare more free time to accompany the Crown Princess and strive to add a few more little princes to our royal family!"

As soon as Keremu said this, everyone present burst into laughter. Especially the court officials, who covered their mouths and laughed secretly. Hanguli, who was sitting next to him, had already blushed with shame, like a ripe apple. She lowered her head in embarrassment, gently fiddling with the corner of her clothes with her hands, but her heart was filled with sweetness.

Even the usually serious king couldn't help laughing at this moment. He nodded repeatedly to show his agreement: "Well, that's right! You are still young and you should take advantage of your good health to have more children and reproduce for our royal family. In this way, our royal family will become more prosperous!"

Before he finished speaking, the king turned his gaze to Aidil who was standing not far away, and said earnestly: "Second brother, look at your eldest brother, he has already started planning to have a few more children. You can't fall too far behind, you have to hurry up and work hard!"

I saw Edir slowly stand up and said to his father on the throne respectfully: "Father, you see that my elder brother is both virtuous and talented, and he is also very handsome. He should indeed have more children to expand our royal family and continue the incense. As for me, hehe... I don't want to work so hard at the moment. I still want to cultivate my relationship with my princess first and enjoy this sweet time of newlyweds!"

In fact, everyone present knew that Edir's words were just a casual remark. However, the king, who knew his son's temper well, did not pursue the matter too much. He just nodded slightly and said nothing more.

At the same time, Xilin, who was sitting at the concubine's seat nearby, seemed to have not heard the conversation of the crowd at all, and continued to drink one glass of wine after another as if no one was around. Her beautiful face was now shrouded in a faint sadness, which made people feel pity for her.

Aidil accidentally caught a glimpse of her lonely appearance from the corner of his eye, and his heart suddenly felt like it was stabbed by a needle. However, due to the current situation and the complicated relationship between them, he was helpless and heartbroken, but he was powerless and could only watch his beloved woman grieving secretly.

Looking at the princess sitting next to Aidil, she always kept her head down, quietly enjoying the delicious food on the table. Although she occasionally raised her head and smiled while toasting with the people around her, her seemingly casual glance at Aidil was actually full of exploration and suspicion. It turned out that she vaguely felt that the identity of this woman was not simple. After all, women with complicated identities were basically in this deep palace. Thinking of this, the princess couldn't help but secretly observe Aidil. She really wanted to know who that woman was.
