Children of Loulan

The Queen: "No wonder you look so pale, have you asked the imperial physician to see you?"

Aunt Taji: "Only the two imperial doctors brought by the eldest prince have seen it. I think he hasn't seen it since he entered the palace!"

Queen: "Well, he is a quiet man."

The queen took a sip of tea slowly. She thought that everyone's attention was on the newlyweds and the ladies, so she discussed Hanguli with the nanny unscrupulously. Although her voice was not loud and only the two of them could hear it, her eyes did not hide the meaning at all.

However, she didn't know that her every move had been completely seen by Concubine Ru. Concubine Ru looked at the queen, and then cast her eyes on Hanguli in the queen's eyes. Then, she tilted her head back slightly, and a palace maid quickly stepped forward, bent down and whispered in Concubine Ru's ear:

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Concubine Ru: "Wu Mei, go check who the queen is looking at."

Wu Mei glanced at the queen, then followed her gaze and saw a girl who looked somewhat frail.

She said, "Yes, Madam!"

After a while, the maid named Wu Mei came back in a hurry. She lowered her head and whispered softly in Concubine Ru's ear: "Madam, the person standing next to the girl is the Lan Cai person that Eunuch Aji mentioned!"

And the girl mentioned is undoubtedly Hanguli.

When Concubine Ru heard this, she immediately looked in the direction of Wumei's finger. As expected, she saw the Lancai man concentrating on watching the ladies introduce themselves.

Concubine Ru couldn't help but think to herself: "Well, he looks quite clever, but I don't know if he is really clever or just pretending to be clever!"

Wu Mei added: "Whether she is really clever or not, the key is whether she is sincere. If she has bad intentions, it will be useless no matter how clever she is!"

After hearing what Wu Mei said, Concubine Ru's mouth corners slightly raised and a sly smile flashed in her eyes.

Concubine Ru asked, "Where is she living now?"

Wu Mei replied, "To answer your Majesty's question, she lives with that girl in Yunhe Palace!"

"What? Yunhe Palace? That girl actually lives in Yunhe Palace?" Concubine Ru opened her eyes wide in surprise, obviously very surprised by the answer.

Concubine Ru looked at Wumei in surprise. She thought that the person the queen liked would never be placed in the most uncertain place.

Wu Mei: "Yes, Madam, what's wrong?"

Concubine Ru: "Yunhe Palace, that is Concubine Xian's territory, what is the Queen planning?"

Wu Mei: "Could it be that the girl offended the queen, so she..."

Concubine Ru: "No, with the Queen's temper, if you offend her, she will just keep you by her side and torture you slowly..."

"Now that all the sisters have met the ladies, you can all move around more often in the future!"

Concubine Ru was still whispering to Wu Mei when she was interrupted by the queen's sudden voice. She stopped talking and just looked at the queen intently.

The queen looked at the ladies again and said with a smile, "Don't be annoying!"

Madam Ji quickly stood up, bowed to the queen, and said tenderly: "Queen, what are you saying? When there were few people before, I always felt that the place was empty. Now that so many sisters have come, I am so happy that I can't wait to feel annoyed!"

Madam Wei: "Yes, this palace will be lively from now on!"

While they were talking, many palace maids suddenly came in from outside, each holding a tray with a bowl on it.

The Queen: "My sisters have been exhausted from the journey, so I specially ordered someone to make some Tremella soup to nourish you!"

After that, everyone stood up and saluted again:

"Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen, for the reward!"

The Queen: "No need to be polite, just eat!"

Everyone picked up the bowl of Tremella soup. Some people ate it in big mouthfuls, some just took a light taste, and some picked up the spoon, smelled it briefly, pretended to have eaten it, and then put it down gently.

The queen pretended to glance at everyone casually, then slowly spoke:

"I heard that all the sisters were attacked by foreigners on the road. Moreover, I heard that one sister even killed a foreigner with her own hands in order to save her maid. I wonder which sister is so brave?"

After the queen finished speaking, her eyes were still scanning everyone, as if she really wanted to find the murderer who killed the foreigner.

After hearing this, Hanguli immediately put down the bowl in her hand, stood up, saluted to the queen and said, "Your Majesty, it's my concubine!"

When the queen heard this, she pretended to look at Hanguli carefully, and then said, "Oh, it's you, but why do you look so bad?"

Hanguli quickly replied: "My queen, I am fine, but I haven't slept well these past two days."

The queen was very worried and continued to ask: "Poor sleep? But are you feeling unwell?"

Hanguli was a little nervous at this time, not knowing how to answer. After all, this was the first time she encountered such a thing, and the person she was talking to was the extremely noble queen of Loulan.

As if she had noticed Hanguli's embarrassment, Aunt Taji beside her quickly stepped forward to explain for her: "Your Majesty, my beloved was frightened that day and has been troubled by nightmares at night, so he looks a little haggard."

The queen had actually heard about this matter a long time ago, but the reason she spoke it out at this time was simply because she wanted to tell the other palace servants present.

The queen's eyes swept back and forth between Mammy and Hanguli, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Frightened? Have you asked the imperial physician to treat you?" the queen asked with concern.

The nanny quickly replied: "It happened suddenly, so the two imperial doctors brought by the eldest prince diagnosed him and prescribed some medicine."

The queen then asked, "Since I have prescribed the medicine, why is there still no improvement?"

After thinking for a moment, the nanny replied, "Perhaps it's because he was too frightened. It will take some time to recover."

The queen's face turned gloomy: "So after entering the palace, have you ever asked for the imperial physician again?"

The nanny bowed her head and replied, "My Queen, I have not heard of any new woman in the palace ever calling for the imperial physician."

The queen frowned even more tightly: "Madam Taji, I have to blame you. You have been to Mo City before, and you should know what happened on the way. How could you not inform me of such an important matter in time?"

The nanny knelt down hurriedly and apologized: "My Queen, please calm down. Since I returned to the palace, I have been busy preparing for the beauty pageant. I was careless for a moment and forgot about this matter. Please punish me, my Queen."

The Queen: "It seems that you are really old. You can even forget such a big thing!"

After she finished speaking, the queen looked at Mu Lian and said, "Go, bring the best ginseng from my storehouse to this person..."

The queen frowned when she said this, as if she didn't know how to address her. Aunt Taji quickly chimed in, "Mrs. Liliang."

"Oh, Li Liang, give it to Li Liang, and then go to the Imperial Hospital and ask an imperial physician to take a closer look!"

Hanguli: "Thank you, Queen, for your reward!"

Mu Lian took the order and left. The queen looked at Hanguli lovingly and asked, "We are all sisters. There is no need to thank each other. By the way, how old is Li Liangren this year?"

Hanguli: "Your Majesty, I am fourteen years old this year!"

The Queen: "Oh, Fourteen, then you should take good care of yourself first, and then you can sleep with me after you turn fifteen!"

After she finished speaking, she did not give Hanguli a chance to reply, but looked at everyone again and said, "Since we have mentioned the matter of serving the emperor in bed, I will explain to you in detail the rules of serving the emperor in bed in this palace. Anyone who is over fifteen years old can be arranged by me to serve the emperor in bed one by one; and those who are under fifteen years old must wait patiently until they are fifteen years old before they can serve the emperor in bed.

Although you are all newcomers to the palace, you must always pay attention to your health. This body is the capital of us women. If the body is broken, how can we serve His Majesty?"

Everyone responded in unison: "I will keep this in mind!"

The queen nodded slightly to show her satisfaction, and said softly: "Well, it's getting late today, sisters, please go away!"

Everyone responded: "I'll take my leave!"

Afterwards, everyone began to leave in an orderly manner, but Hanguli was stopped by another maid beside the queen, who told her to wait here for a while and leave after Maid Mulian brought the ginseng.

After everyone had left, Mu Lian slowly walked over with a tray in his hand and stopped beside Hanguli.

Mu Lian bowed and said respectfully, "I greet Lady Li Liang!"

Hanguli quickly returned the greeting and said with a smile: "Aunt Mulian is so polite!"

Mu Lian gently handed over the tray.

"This is the ginseng given by the queen. Please keep it well, my lady Li."

Dahl took the tray quickly.

Hanguli thanked again: "Thank you very much, auntie!"

Mu Lian: "My dear, you don't have to be polite. Please go back quickly. The imperial physician will be at your palace soon!"

Hanguli bowed and said, "Okay, I'll go back first. Please thank the queen for me, auntie!"

Mu Lianhui bowed and said: "Of course, my dear, please rest assured and take care."

After taking the ginseng, Hanguli took Dal out of Kunning Hall.
