Children of Loulan

Chapter 227 1 Eating Together

She hesitated to speak and did not say the following sentence: "I'm worried about being persecuted and no one can protect the fetus in my belly."

However, the king had seen through her deep concerns and fears, and comforted her softly: "I have also taken these factors into consideration, so I want to hear your opinion. Since you also think that this is not the right time, then wait until you give birth to a dragon or a princess, and then I will promote your status!"

After hearing the king's words, Xilin's face suddenly blossomed with a smile as brilliant as a spring flower, and she said in a delicate voice: "Well, I would like to thank you very much, Your Majesty. You always think of me so thoughtfully!"

The king smiled slightly, his eyes full of affection and doting, and responded: "You are my beloved concubine, and the mother of my child. How can I not consider you more?"

However, this seemingly ordinary conversation actually concealed a mystery. Previously, Concubine Xian had recommended some women who entered the palace with Xilin to the king, but after these women became pregnant during the night, they all miscarried without exception. In this case, Xilin was actually hinting to the king that all of this was most likely done by Concubine Xian.

Furthermore, since Xilin currently resides in the Palace of the Immortal Consort, she cannot easily attack her. After all, if anything unexpected happens in this palace, as the head of a palace, it would be difficult for the Immortal Consort to shirk responsibility.

Although Xilin knew very well that Concubine Xian would never harm her and would even do her utmost to protect the fetus in her belly, she still wanted to create this illusion to confuse the king and make him make a wrong judgment.

Looking at the king's thoughtful expression, Xilin was secretly happy, because she knew that what she had just said had produced results. In fact, Xilin had long expected that the king would eliminate Concubine Xian one day, but this did not prevent her from taking the opportunity to discredit Concubine Xian in front of the king. In this way, when the king takes action against Concubine Xian in the future, he will definitely be ruthless.

At this moment, in the palace, night fell and it was time for dinner. Hanguli sat side by side with the prince at the dining table, looking at the rich delicacies in front of them. These dazzling dishes exuded an alluring aroma, but Hanguli couldn't help but recall the hard and simple years in Yuexiju in the past. Life at that time was extremely hard. Although she didn't experience the pain of hunger, she was just enough to have enough food and clothing, so she had a deeper understanding of the preciousness of food than ordinary people.

Hanguli turned her head and looked at Keremu beside her, and said softly: "Your Highness, look at this table full of food. It is impossible for the two of us to eat it all. It is really a waste. Otherwise, bring a few plates over, pick a few dishes and share them with Baixi, Daer and the other four people?"

Keremu knew that Hanguli and Darbaier had a deep friendship, so he smiled and said, "Why bother to separate the dishes? Just let them sit down and enjoy together with us."

Hanguli had never expected that Keremu would actually suggest that they sit down and eat together. She was a little surprised and at a loss for a moment. She quickly shook her head and waved her hands, saying, "No, Your Majesty! This is really against the rules!"

Keremu held her hand tightly, his eyes full of endless doting, and said softly: "I know it very well in my heart. When you were in the palace, you, the master and the servant, all sat around the table to eat together. Whenever there was something delicious, you never treated them badly and always shared with them. Now that you have come to this palace and see this table full of sumptuous dishes, you naturally want them to eat together. It doesn't matter. After all, we are in our own courtyard, so let them eat together. Besides, it will be more lively when there are more people, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Hanguli was speechless for a moment and could only nod slightly to indicate her agreement. Seeing this, Keremu immediately shouted loudly: "Ziya, go and get four more sets of bowls and chopsticks!"

Upon hearing this, Ziya looked puzzled and asked, "We need to add four more sets of bowls and chopsticks? Your Majesty, who would come at this hour? And who would come straight to the princess's courtyard!"

Keremu frowned slightly and replied with a hint of displeasure: "I ordered you to go and get it. Why are you asking so many questions? Just do it quickly! Oh, by the way, call Baixi here as well!"

Ziya didn't dare to say anything more. After replying "yes", he turned around and left in a hurry.

Not long after, he quickly brought four sets of exquisite bowls and chopsticks and placed them neatly on the table. Keremu glanced at the four people in front of him and said with a smile: "Come on, everyone, please take a seat! Let's eat together today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, it was like a thunderbolt that split the sky, instantly shocking the four people present. Dahl first glanced at the prince, then turned his head to look at his young lady, only to see that the young lady had a faint smile on her lips and was looking at him tenderly.

Despite this, Dar still mustered up the courage to speak: "Your Majesty, we servants are of low status, and you are a high and mighty prince. How can you eat at the same table with us servants? This is really against etiquette!"

The other three people also echoed: "Yes, yes, this is indeed against the rules!"

Keremu raised his eyes slightly, stared at them firmly, and responded bluntly: "In this palace, I am the master with absolute authority. As long as I think it is feasible, then everything is possible!"

He only said this short and powerful sentence, but it hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer, leaving everyone in a daze.

After all, it was well known that the prince had been brought up with strict etiquette since childhood and had always attached great importance to hierarchy and etiquette. However, at this moment, he actually took the initiative to propose to sit around the table with the servants to have a meal together. This unprecedented move was really incredible.

While the four of them were still looking at each other in bewilderment, Keremu spoke again, "Hurry up and take your seats! What are you waiting for? Don't you notice that the princess has been waiting for you here? If you don't come over, she won't even eat a bite of food."

At this moment, Bai Xi was also confused, and had no idea why the prince suddenly arranged the seats like this. So he responded respectfully: "Your Highness, Princess, I am of low status and dare not easily..."

However, before he could finish his words, Keremu ruthlessly interrupted him: "Shut up! I told you to sit down and eat, so just do it! Also, from now on, when there are no other irrelevant people present, especially in the princess's courtyard, you must sit at the table and eat together!"

Seeing that the prince was determined and had no room for maneuver, Dal, who was standing by, had no choice but to look at Hanguli for help. Hanguli smiled and said, "Since the prince has said so, let's all sit down!"
