Children of Loulan

Chapter 388 Students

Hanguli nodded slightly to show her agreement, with a look of satisfaction on her face, and replied softly: "That's right, their actions are really sincere, which shows their intentions." After that, she carefully picked up the amulet, as if holding the most precious treasure in the world, and gently placed it under her pillow.

As night fell and the lights came on, Keremu finished his bath and walked out of the bathroom slowly. He was tall and straight, with skin as smooth and delicate as white jade, exuding a charming luster. At this moment, he was only wearing a loose white robe with a golden belt tied around his waist, which made him look more elegant and majestic.

Seeing this, Hanguli hurried forward, holding a soft towel in her hand, and gently wiped Keremu's wet hair. Her movements were extremely gentle, as if she was afraid of hurting the man in front of her who made her heart fall in love.

At the same time, she opened her red lips and said softly in a voice as sweet as a nightingale singing: "Your Highness, I really don't know how to thank you. Thank you for your care and concern for my parents. I will always remember everything you have done for them."

Hearing this, Keremu's mouth slightly raised, revealing a doting smile. He turned around and stretched out his hand, gently stroking Hanguli's silky hair, and said softly: "Li'er, you don't have to be so polite. Since you and I are married, your parents are my parents, and your brothers are also my brothers. It is natural for family members to support and help each other, so don't worry about it."

Looking at Keremu's eyes full of affection, like deep lake water, Hanguli felt that her heart was like a frightened deer, beating uncontrollably. She could even hear her heartbeat clearly, as if the whole world only had this sound. As her heartbeat accelerated, a wave of heat quickly surged to Hanguli's cheeks, making her cheeks involuntarily flushed like the sunset.

"Your Highness, I have been so kind to me that I have no way to repay you!" Hanguli lowered her head slightly and said shyly. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito, but the gratitude contained in it was extremely sincere.

Keremu gently extended his hand and caressed Hanguli's face, which was as beautiful as the red clouds in the sky. His fingertips were filled with endless love and pampering. "It is my greatest luck to marry a woman as gentle and virtuous as Li'er, who looks like a fairy. Why should I ask Li'er to repay me? Moreover, Li'er gave birth to the most noble eldest son of the royal family. This is the most precious and beautiful gift Li'er has given me!" Keremu's words were full of affection and satisfaction.

At this moment, Hanguli just looked up at the handsome man in front of her who loved her very much. Even though she had a thousand words to say, she didn't know where to start. In the end, she just called out softly in her voice as soft as water: "Your Highness..."

At this moment, Keremu seemed to feel the affection deep in Hanguli's heart. He slowly lowered his head and gently pressed his warm lips against Hanguli's delicate lips...

In early March after the Lunar New Year, the highly anticipated Spring Examination, which takes place every three years, was held. Since early February, students from all over the country began to flock to the capital city in large numbers. For a time, young people with dreams and ambitions could be seen in the streets and alleys, inns and teahouses of the capital city.

However, due to limited economic conditions, many students had to choose to live in relatively simple slums in order to save money. In comparison, those inns and houses in prosperous areas were simply an unattainable luxury for most students.

Although the imperial court had issued clear regulations regarding students staying in inns: During the month before and after the Spring Examination, when students holding the candidate's token stayed in an inn, not only could the inn not raise the price without authorization, but their accommodation fee was also half the price of other ordinary guests! However, even with such a seemingly favorable policy, students who could really afford this expense were still rare.

In addition, a considerable number of students choose to share a room with others in order to find a quiet space for studying. Unfortunately, this practice makes many innkeepers dissatisfied. After all, if many people share a room, the innkeeper will inevitably feel that they will lose a lot of money, so some inns simply refuse to accept such students. As a result, most of these students can only squeeze into the slums, but after all, the space in the slums is limited, so some students can only stay in some places that can barely shelter from the wind and rain!

Since the moment he stepped into the capital, Mamtim settled in the Xuanwang Mansion. In recent days, he heard that many students were flocking to the capital, and an idea came to his mind: if he could make friends and study with these students, he would benefit a lot. With this expectation in mind, Mamtim resolutely stepped out of the gate of Xuanwang Mansion.

However, when he was actually in the market, what he saw shocked him greatly. He saw many students sleeping in the open air, with no fixed place to live. Some huddled under bridges, using cold stone slabs as beds; some lived in simple pavilions, exposed to the cold wind; some even lay in the corners of other people's homes, shivering in the cold night.

Looking at the still cold weather, Mamtim was filled with worry. He knew that if these students were allowed to suffer from the cold, once they got sick, it would not only damage their health, but more seriously, the three years of waiting would be wasted. Thinking of this, Mamtim was extremely anxious and immediately decided to seek help from the prince.

When Mamtim hurried to the East Palace, he happened to meet the Crown Prince Keremu. After bowing, he could not wait to speak: "Your Highness, when I went to the city today, I found that many students had no place to stay. They were still sleeping in the cold wind. These students are the hope of Loulan's future! I beg Your Highness to have mercy on them and help them!"

Hearing this, Keremu looked straight at Mamtim and said slowly, "Why should we help them? If there were no such people, wouldn't you have fewer competitors? In this way, wouldn't your chances of passing the exam be greater?"

After hearing what Keremu said, Mamtim's face was full of disbelief, and he stared at Keremu, as if he had seen something extremely incredible. He could not believe that the extremely noble and high-ranking Crown Prince in front of him would actually say such a thing. You know, in his past impression, the Crown Prince has always been a wise and far-sighted person, and the image of the person standing in front of him and saying such a thing is completely different.

After a brief shock, Mamtim came back to his senses, shook his head gently, and responded firmly: "No, Your Highness, the matter of passing the imperial examination should rely on one's true talent and knowledge, and it is definitely not determined by the number of people."
