Children of Loulan

Chapter 427 Pampering

Seeing this, Hawuer waved his hand and told him to go ahead. Then Muzepal leaned close to Hawuer's ear and whispered, "It is said that the son of the third uncle is always very humble and polite in front of our grandfather and grandmother, and he looks well-behaved and sensible."

"However, behind the scenes, he is a domineering and overbearing person. Not only does he often bully others by taking advantage of his power, but many palace maids and eunuchs in the palace are his targets of bullying. Even Adi is bullied by him from time to time! Is this true?" After saying this, Muzepal looked at his eldest brother with a puzzled look on his face, waiting for the other party to give a definite answer.

Hawuer chewed the food in his mouth and swallowed it slowly. Then, he lowered his voice slightly and said seriously: "This is true. It is no exaggeration to say that Ai Erjiang has been spoiled by Auntie San Wang over the years. Because of this, his character has become somewhat arrogant and domineering!" You know, Ai Erjiang is the biological son of King Cheng Batur, and also the illegitimate son that Princess Cheng nominally took in, the so-called "legitimate son" raised under her own name.

Hearing his elder brother speak so calmly and straightforwardly, Muzepal was very surprised. He stared at Hawul with wide eyes, his tone full of confusion and doubt: "If that's the case, why don't you protect Adi? After all, he has been accompanying you to study for so many years, and he is Auntie Dal's only son!"

At this moment, Dal was not serving here, so Muzepal had the courage to speak out his heart at this time, because he knew very well that if Aunt Dal was present, she would be heartbroken once she heard these words.

However, Hawul only glanced at Muzepal calmly, with a hint of impatience on his face, and responded unhappily: "Adi is a real man, not a weak girl. Why does he need someone to guard him all the time?"

The meaning of his words couldn't be clearer - Adi must learn to rely on himself to deal with the various difficulties and challenges in life. Only by constantly improving his own strength and making himself truly strong can he protect himself and the people he cherishes for a long time.

What's more, Adi is the key person carefully selected by his father to fully assist him in the future. If he does not have real ability, then not only will he be unable to give him effective help and support in the future, he may even become a heavy burden!

After hearing this, Muzepal opened his mouth as if he wanted to argue a few more words, but at this moment, Parti Khan suddenly interrupted him and said, "Brother, the food on the table is almost cold. Let's eat first. Look, father and mother are almost done eating!"

Faced with the conversation between the three children, Hanguli and Keremu just sat quietly by the side enjoying dinner and listening to their conversation silently, without saying a word from beginning to end.

When night fell and dinner was over, the three siblings got up and left the table, returning to their own rooms. It was only then that Keremu lowered his voice and asked Hanguli, "Li'er, did your mother blame or scold you today?"

Hanguli shook her head gently and replied softly, "I did not go to pay my respects to the Queen Mother today. Instead, I stayed by the Queen Mother's side and took good care of her. I asked the children to go to the Queen Mother's side by themselves!"

Keremu nodded slightly, then gently opened his arms and slowly took Hanguli into his arms. His voice was low and gentle: "Well, it's really better not to go. Over the years, because of the matter of taking a concubine for me, my mother has really made things difficult for you. You have suffered so much!"

Hanguli gently shook her head, opened her red lips, and said softly: "I don't feel bitter. I have been able to receive such sincere love and care from Your Highness over the years. My heart is full of sweetness and happiness. How can I feel bitter? What's more, my mother is determined to find more concubines for Your Highness. She just hopes that the royal family can prosper and have many children and grandchildren. I understand my mother's painstaking efforts, so I naturally don't feel bitter because of this."

Hearing Hanguli's considerate words, Keremu's love for her became even deeper. He hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to pass on all his warmth to this gentle and lovely woman in front of him. "No matter what unpleasant words the Queen Mother says in the future, you must not take it to heart. If you feel wronged, you must tell me the first time, and you must not bear it alone."

Hanguli looked up, her beautiful eyes fixed on Keremu's handsome face, and replied with a smile: "My grandmother also told me the same thing today, telling me not to take my mother's words to heart!"

In the magnificent palace, the sun shone through the vermilion window lattices onto the ground, creating patches of mottled light and shadow. Maihemuti walked carefully and cautiously towards the palace where Xilin was.

When he finally arrived at his destination, he saw that the palace gate was closed and two guards with serious faces stood at the door. Maihemutei took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and then knocked on the door gently. After a while, the door opened a crack and a palace maid poked her head out. When she saw that it was Maihemutei, she quickly opened the door and invited him in.

Entering the palace, a faint fragrance hit his nose. Maihemuti walked through the long corridor and came to the main hall. At this time, Xilin was sitting in the main seat, holding a book in her hand, reading quietly. Hearing the footsteps, she raised her head and looked at Maihemuti with a cold gaze.

Maihemuti did not dare to neglect it, and hurried forward, knelt on both knees, bowed respectfully, and said: "My son pays his respects to my mother! I wish my mother good health and a long life."

Xilin nodded slightly, gently put down the book in her hand, and asked in a cold voice: "Well, how have you done your homework these days? Have you listened carefully?"

Maihemuti lowered his head, not daring to look his mother in the eye. Seeing that his mother did not ask him to stand up, he continued to kneel where he was, answering Xilin's words with fear and trepidation. He described in detail the knowledge that the teacher taught every day, and also put forward some of his own understanding and insights.

After hearing this, Xilin's expression softened a little, but she still looked very stern. She continued to ask, "Well, at least you didn't embarrass me!"

Maihemuti nodded quickly and then added: "However, some areas need further thinking and consideration."

Xilin was silent for a moment, then said, "Well, it's good to have such awareness." After that, she waved her hand, motioning Maihemu to stand up and answer.

As soon as Maihemuti stood up, Xilin asked, "Have you been practicing martial arts with your master recently?"

Maihemuti: "Yes, my mother specially hired a master for me. I dare not slack off and have been practicing diligently with the master."
