Children of Loulan

Chapter 340 Gifts

Xilin raised her lips slightly, revealing a satisfied smile and said, "Yes, that's right. At present, Concubine Ru has not noticed our movements. If we deliberately leave some clues pointing to her as evidence, she will definitely go all out to find out the truth and will further strengthen her own defense. This will be extremely disadvantageous to our subsequent plans."

Baixi and King Cheng worked tirelessly for several days to conduct a carpet search, but they still could not find any trace of the mysterious maid. It was as if she disappeared without a trace, and even at the key point such as the city gate, there was no trace left. Keremu was naturally very angry about this, but after calming down, he also knew very well in his heart that with Xilin's scheming and skills, it would be easy for her to hide someone.

Seeing that the investigation had yielded no results for many days, the worried Queen Mother was really worried, so she immediately dispatched two senior maids who were proficient in medicine and pharmacology to rush to the Xuanwang Mansion. The two maids had an important task and needed to stay by Hanguli's side at all times and take good care of her daily life and all affairs. At the same time, due to the Queen Mother's frequent pressure and supervision, the East Palace was finally repaired and completed after a period of intensive construction.

On the auspicious day of the 15th day of the first lunar month, Keremu happily moved into the Eastern Palace. Immediately afterwards, the eye-catching ceremony of enthronement was put on the agenda and was scheduled to be held in a few days.

For a time, the entire East Palace was decorated with lights and colors, presenting a lively and jubilant scene. Officials from all over the country rushed to offer carefully prepared gifts to express their congratulations. The Queen Mother and the Queen both came to the East Palace in person to preside over this grand event to ensure that everything went well.

Because Hanguli was pregnant, the queen not only took the initiative to assist in handling related affairs today, but also took the trouble to carefully register the gifts from officials from all sides and properly store them in the warehouse. The queen mother personally trained all the maids and eunuchs serving in the East Palace, and also investigated their backgrounds and past experiences in detail, in order to eliminate any factors that might pose a threat to the fetus in Hanguli's belly.

Looking at the busy queen and queen mother, Hanguli could not help but feel a deep sense of guilt. Although she knew clearly that they cared so much about the child in her belly, not herself, she was still deeply moved by their concern and could not express it in words.

At this moment, Dal slowly walked into the room, holding an exquisite and gorgeous box in her hands carefully: "Your Highness the Crown Princess, this is a gift that Concubine Jing specially sent her servants to deliver. Concubine Jing said that because the Fourth Prince is still young, he needs her constant care and company, so she really can't spare the time to come to your house in person to congratulate you!" Ever since the two maids specially sent by the Queen Mother arrived at Prince Xuan's Mansion, Dal and Bayer began to abide by the rules and etiquette, and changed their way of addressing Hanguli to "Your Highness the Crown Princess."

Because the Queen Mother always attached great importance to etiquette, Hanguli subconsciously reached out her hand to take the exquisite box from Dal's hand. However, just as she was about to touch the box, a skinny but strong hand came out and stopped her action.

Hanguli turned around and saw that it was the maid sent by the Queen Mother who tried to stop them. The maid looked respectful and bowed slightly, saying, "Princess Consort, please wait. In my opinion, it is better for me to check it first. If there is nothing wrong, it will not be too late to let Your Majesty take a look."

Hanguli naturally knew that these maids were acting in accordance with the Queen Mother's orders, so she just smiled and responded, "That's fine. I'll trouble you, maid." After that, she slowly retracted her outstretched hand and waited for the maid to check.

Mammy carefully took the box from Dahl and first examined the box carefully. Her eyes, which had experienced many hardships and seen countless people, were as sharp as a hawk, not missing any details. Then, she gently shook the box and listened carefully to see if there was any abnormal sound coming from it. After completing these preliminary inspections, Mammy carefully opened the lid of the box.

As the lid of the box was opened, a touch of warm green immediately caught everyone's eyes - it turned out that there was a crystal clear jade bracelet in the box! The bracelet was emerald green, like a pool of spring water, emitting a soft luster, which made people look sideways. However, when her eyes continued to move down, Hanguli was surprised to find that there was a letter hidden under the bracelet.

Hanguli was secretly curious about what was written in the letter. The nanny carefully checked the letter again to see if there was anything unusual around it. After confirming that it was safe, she handed it to Hanguli.

Hanguli opened her red lips, slowly unwrapped the envelope, and pulled out a yellowed piece of paper. She looked closely and found that the words written on the paper were not ordinary words, but a densely packed prescription. After reading it carefully, she was even more shocked - it turned out that this prescription was Concubine Jing's experience in recuperating after giving birth!

The recipe records many valuable experiences in detail, such as how to restore the original firmness and elasticity of the abdomen as soon as possible through specific diet and exercise methods; and what effective measures should be taken to deal with embarrassing situations such as urinary incontinence that may occur after childbirth... The various tips are extremely detailed and amazing.

After Hanguli hurriedly read the prescription, an indescribable expression suddenly appeared on her face, as if she was neither crying nor laughing, and she looked very embarrassed. Her originally fair face also involuntarily flushed at this moment, like a ripe apple.

Then, as if her hands were scalded, she quickly and somewhat panickedly folded the prescription and put it in her arms. Then, in order to cover up her gaffe, she deliberately coughed, cleared her throat and said, "Um... Dahl, go to the warehouse and pick out a few items suitable for children and send them to the fourth prince on my behalf. Remember, choose something exquisite and beautiful!"

After hearing Hanguli's order, Dal hurriedly responded respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty, I'll go right away." After that, she turned around and walked towards the warehouse with brisk steps.

Since the two maids sent by the Queen Mother came to the Xuanwang Mansion, Bayer appeared less and less in front of Hanguli. In fact, Hanguli knew the reason very well - Bayer always hated standing or sitting still in a proper manner.

Although they had lived together in the palace for three full years, the time they actually followed the rules only added up to a few short months. For most of the rest of the time, they lived in Yuexi Residence, where they lived freely and unfettered. There were no cumbersome etiquette or restraints, only happiness and freedom to do whatever they wanted.
