Children of Loulan

Chapter 343: Simultaneous Wedding

The king gently combed Dalan's silky hair, and every move was full of love and compassion. After her hair was neatly combed, he slowly stood up, moved behind Dalan, and gently embraced her in his arms. The warm embrace seemed to be able to resist all the coldness in the world, making Dalan feel extremely at ease.

The king leaned down, got close to Dalan's ear, and whispered in a very gentle tone: "Lan'er, you have suffered so much over the years. But from now on, it will be different. I can finally canonize you as my concubine. Moreover, I don't have to worry about so much anymore. I can visit my beloved Lan'er anytime and anywhere without any worries!"

Dalan raised her head slightly, raised her delicate and tender jade hand, and gently held the king's big hand around her waist. She gazed at the king with affection, and responded softly: "It is a great honor for me to be able to receive such deep love from the king in this life. Now that I can have a son and a daughter with the king, my life is complete and I have nothing to ask for!"

Hearing this, the king smiled and nodded, expressing his agreement. Then, he vowed: "Don't worry, Lan'er, I will give our children all the best things in the world!"

Hearing this, Dalan couldn't help but smile, her smile was as charming as a blooming spring flower. She said with a little bit of coquettishness: "With your words, my king, I am naturally 100% relieved. I firmly believe that our children will be able to live a carefree, happy life. But... I still have a little thought in my heart. When our son is crowned as king in the future, can we not let him go to the fiefdom to take office? I hope he can stay in the capital and be a leisurely and comfortable prince. In this way, even if I grow old, I can often meet him and share the joy of family."

After Keremu hurriedly handled all the complicated affairs, he dragged his slightly tired body slowly towards the East Palace. When he stepped into the palace gate, it was quiet all around, with only the slight sound of breathing coming from the bedroom. When he walked into the room, he saw Hanguli lying quietly on the bed, her beautiful face was illuminated by the moonlight and became even softer, like a sleeping fairy, lovable.

Keremu walked to the bedside carefully, fearing to wake up the beautiful woman in her sleep. He sat down gently, gazed at Hanguli tenderly, and couldn't help but reach out his hand to gently pull the quilt that had slipped off for her, so that she could sleep more peacefully.

Then, Keremu turned to look at Dal who was standing by and asked in a low voice, "Has the Crown Princess had dinner tonight?"

Dar quickly shook his head and replied softly, "Your Highness, the Queen said she would wait for you to come back to have dinner together, so she lay down to rest for a while, but she fell asleep unexpectedly."

Keremu frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then ordered, "Then ask the kitchen to warm up the food. When the Crown Princess wakes up, have them serve her the meal immediately."

Dahl nodded in agreement, but soon showed a worried look on his face and asked, "Your Highness, what about you? Don't you plan to eat first?"

Keremu subconsciously touched his stomach, which had been growling with hunger for a long time, and sighed helplessly, saying, "Forget it, I'll just eat something to fill my stomach for now, and wait for the Crown Princess to wake up before enjoying it together."

Dar bowed respectfully and whispered, "The Crown Princess ate a bowl of Tremella soup before going to bed. It tasted very sweet. Your Highness, would you like to have a bowl too?"

Keremu nodded slightly to show his agreement, and said, "Okay, have a bowl then." After quickly finishing the bowl of Tremella soup, he waved his hand to signal everyone to leave. Then, he walked carefully to the bedside and gently lay down in front of Hanguli.

Hanguli's originally slender body had become bloated due to pregnancy, with a bulging belly, as if hiding an invaluable treasure. Keremu reached out and gently stroked Hanguli's belly, feeling the movement of the fetus in her belly, his heart filled with joy and anticipation of becoming a father. Then, he leaned over lovingly and gently kissed Hanguli's forehead, his eyes full of pity.

He knew that Hanguli had been suffering since she entered the second trimester of her pregnancy. She could no longer lie flat and sleep peacefully like before, and could only lie on her side to rest every night. Moreover, due to the discomfort during pregnancy, she always had difficulty falling asleep and her sleep quality was extremely poor. However, facing all this, Keremu was powerless and could not bear the pain for Hanguli. He could only accompany her silently and give her spiritual support and comfort.

It was spring, and the air in the early morning was still a little chilly. The sky had just begun to light up, and a few twinkling stars could be seen in the dim sky. But the Cheng and Xin palaces were a different kind of lively scene, with lanterns and decorations everywhere, and a festive atmosphere. Every corner of the palace was hung with bright red silk, and from a distance it looked like a sea of ​​red. The servants were even busier, running in and out everywhere, carefully preparing for the grand wedding of the two princes today.

Originally, according to convention, the weddings of the two princes should be held at different times to avoid being too hasty and busy. However, after careful calculation, the imperial master concluded based on the birth dates of the two princes and the two princesses that today was the most auspicious day for the wedding. Therefore, the king made a prompt decision and ordered them to get married today. This way, it could be said that it was a double happiness.

In the early morning, when the sky in the east was just beginning to turn pale, Concubine Ru had already gotten up, carefully dressed up, and hurried to Prince Cheng's mansion to preside over the wedding. She had a beautiful face, elegant temperament, and her every move showed grace and elegance.

Meanwhile, Prince Xin seemed a little lonely. Because Consort Xian had long been killed, and his biological mother had also passed away early, the Queen had to personally handle all matters for him at the wedding today. When the first ray of sunlight passed through the clouds and gently fell on the earth, Prince Xin and Prince Cheng, both wearing bright red wedding robes, rode on tall and mighty horses, led their respective mighty wedding teams, and headed towards the residences of the two brides.

It was a coincidence that the residences of the two brides were not in the same direction. This avoided the awkward situation of the two wedding processions meeting each other. Otherwise, the streets would have been jammed with people, and it would have been very lively!

Time passed quietly, and it was noon in a blink of an eye. At this time, the Xinwang Mansion and Chengwang Mansion were all decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the atmosphere was joyous, with guests filling the house. It was so lively! The two mansions held grand wedding banquets at the same time. After leaving the court, all the civil and military officials in the court made choices according to their own situations. Some people went to Xinwang Mansion alone to congratulate, and asked their wives to go to Chengwang Mansion to send blessings; some officials even rushed to Chengwang Mansion immediately after leaving Xinwang Mansion, just to take care of the happy events of the two princes, without bias, to show their feelings.
