Chapter 349 Mother also eats
At this moment, the king turned his head and shouted towards the door: "Aishan, bring up the prepared osmanthus cake!" Soon, Aishan respectfully carried an exquisite food box and walked to the desk with steady steps. After gently putting down the food box, he quickly bowed and then quietly left the room.
The little girl blinked her big eyes, staring at the exquisite food box in front of her, her face filled with joy that was hard to conceal. Her eyes narrowed into thin slits from smiling, as lovely and charming as the twinkling crescent moon in the night sky.
The king gently opened the lid of the food box and carefully took out a plate full of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. These cakes were golden in color and crystal clear, as if they were made of gold.
The little girl stretched out her hand impatiently, quickly grabbed the top piece of osmanthus cake, then held it high, handed it directly to the king's mouth, and said in a baby voice: "Father, eat first!" The king looked at his daughter's well-behaved and sensible appearance, his heart was full of joy and relief. He opened his mouth slightly, and swallowed the sweet and delicious osmanthus cake in one gulp with a smile.
Then, the little girl reached out and took a piece of osmanthus cake again, but this time she did not taste it herself. Instead, she turned around, stretched the cake in her hand towards Dalan, and shouted sweetly: "Mother, have some too!" Upon seeing this, Dalan hurriedly walked forward, smiled and took the piece of osmanthus cake full of love.
After Dalan took it, the little girl was satisfied and picked up another piece of osmanthus cake, gently put it into her cherry mouth, and chewed it with relish. Seeing this scene, the king could not help but nod his head with approval and said softly: "My little princess is really sensible!"
However, at this moment, the king suddenly sighed deeply, with a trace of regret in his eyes. He slowly said, "It's a pity that our Loulan is located in a desert with a dry climate, and it is really impossible to grow osmanthus trees. Otherwise, I would definitely be able to let my precious daughter taste such delicious osmanthus cake anytime and anywhere."
Hearing the king's words, the little girl shook her head nonchalantly and replied with a smile: "It doesn't matter, father. I will be very satisfied if I can eat it like this once in a while!" After that, she happily took a big bite of the osmanthus cake in her hand. Her happy look made people feel pity for her.
He carefully held the cute little daughter in his arms, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world. The little girl quietly leaned against her father's warm chest, blinked her big watery eyes, and ate the osmanthus cake seriously.
He slowly raised his head and turned his gaze to Dalan who was standing beside him. He asked softly, "Where's the fourth brother? Has he fallen asleep?" Dalan nodded slightly and replied softly, "He just fell asleep."
Hearing this answer, the king nodded with satisfaction, a trace of pity in his eyes, and said to Dalan: "It's really hard for you to take care of these two little guys."
Hearing this, Dalan's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a gentle and happy smile, and she quickly replied, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. They are your and my children. I don't feel tired at all to be with them. On the contrary, my heart is filled with endless satisfaction."
At this moment, Dalan seemed to suddenly remember something, and changed the subject, saying: "By the way, your Majesty, I heard that the Crown Princess recently gave birth to the eldest grandson, which is a great joy for our royal family. I also heard that there has been an endless stream of people going to the East Palace to congratulate the Crown Princess and presenting gifts. I think the Crown Princess has received a lot of rare treasures, ginseng tonics and other good things. So I thought, why not send the Crown Princess a recipe for food therapy to help her recuperate. What do you think?" After that, she looked at the king with expectant eyes, waiting for his reply.
The king turned slightly and said slowly in a low and soft voice: "My beloved concubine, you have taken great pains to prepare this time. It is really well-intentioned. With the gentle and soft temperament of the Crown Princess, I am sure she will like it." After that, a faint smile appeared on the king's face, and his eyes revealed his approval of Dalan.
Daran, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and responded in a sweet voice: "Thank you for the praise, Your Majesty. As long as I can satisfy the Crown Princess, I will be satisfied. With your words, Your Majesty, I can finally be completely relieved!" After that, she bowed slightly and saluted the king, her every move showing her charm and shyness.
At the same time, Xilin, who had been standing quietly in the corner, remained as cold as ice, as if everything happening around her had nothing to do with her. Even towards her own fifth prince, she was indifferent.
However, occasionally when she heard the child babbling and as if wanting to speak, she would raise her eyes slightly to look over, but it was just a quick glance, and her eyes were like the cold wind in the winter night, without any warmth.
At this moment, the maid Xianggui came in carefully holding a bowl of steaming hot medicine. She came to Xilin, knelt down and saluted, and said softly: "Madam, the medicine has been boiled, but..." Before she finished speaking, Xilin reached out to take the bowl of medicine without hesitation, raised her head and drank the whole bowl of medicine.
Seeing this, Xianggui felt a pang of grief in her heart. She couldn't help but look embarrassed and shouted anxiously: "My queen, this medicine is..." However, before she finished her words, she was interrupted by Xilin's cold voice.
"Enough! No need to say any more. Hurry and take the fifth prince down to feed him!" Xilin's tone was extremely cold, leaving no room for negotiation.
Xiang Gui nodded helplessly and said, "Yes, Madam." Then, she walked forward respectfully and gently picked up the fifth prince. Looking at the delicate and adorable little baby in her arms, Xiang Gui's eyes were full of love. She really couldn't understand why her madam was so cold and heartless to such a lovely child, and even took the bitter medicine that cut off her fertility.
Xianggui stood aside with a puzzled look on her face, totally confused, but Aunt Kui knew everything clearly. She took a small step forward and said to Xilin in a low voice: "My queen, the king has suspended court for three days because of the birth of his eldest grandson. Not only that, he has also issued a general amnesty to celebrate. You see, all the concubines in the palace have rushed forward to give the eldest grandson generous gifts to express their congratulations. My queen, shouldn't we also express our gratitude..."
Xilin frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and responded indifferently: "As for this matter, let you handle it, Madam!"
Aunt Kui bowed quickly and replied, "Yes, I will do my best to get this done." After that, she turned and walked towards the warehouse to choose a suitable gift.
However, at this moment, Xilin seemed to have suddenly remembered something important. She called out to Aunt Kui who was about to leave and asked, "By the way, Mammy, have there been any recent developments with Concubine Ru and Prince Cheng?"
