Chapter 549: The Best Gift

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After Li Xiaoran looked at the wooden carving in front of her, she was amazed again.

Li Xiaoran really did not expect Luo Cheng to give her such a birthday gift.

Although she did not understand at that time, from the empress dowager’s current emotions, it seemed that this birthday gift had a special meaning to her!

At this moment, Li Xiaoran seemed to have returned to many years ago.

The empress dowager felt as if she had returned to when she was still a child.

And the empress dowager was the little girl walking on the path.

The smiling woman behind the empress dowager was her mother.

“Xin’er, slow down. Don’t run so fast! Be careful not to fall into the lotus pond!”

The young empress dowager looked back at her mother playfully and raised her foot proudly.

“Mother, look, I’m fine! I’m standing firmly!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl lost her balance and fell towards the lotus pond at the side.

When the woman following behind saw this, she ignored ran over to hug the little girl.

In the end, the mother and daughter fell into the lotus pond together.

The man who was sitting comfortably by the lotus pond painting the mother and daughter quickly ran over and called the servants to save them.

After the mother and daughter were saved, the young empress dowager laughed happily when she saw that she and her mother were covered in mud.

Seeing this, the empress dowager’s mother was also amused!

The scene stopped there. Li Xiaoran could almost hear the sound of the mother and daughter’s laughter.

After coming back to her senses, Li Xiaoran finally understood why the empress dowager was crying.

When parents were still around, no matter how old one was, one could still be a child.

But after one’s parents left, no matter how young one was, one would no longer be a child.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran’s gaze landed on Luo Cheng, who was not far away.

He should be the same!

He had lost his mother at such a young age, and his father ignored him.

It was better not to have henchmen, since all of them bullied him.

No wonder she had heard many bad rumors about him when she had just transmigrated.

How lonely must he have been as someone who hadn’t felt fatherly or motherly love since he was a child?!

Luo Cheng also stared at the wooden statue in front of him with many emotions surging in his heart.

When he was young, he accidentally saw the empress dowager sitting alone in front of the window while looking at a painting.

Out of curiosity, he took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the royal family’s house to look around.

When he saw the painting, he immediately thought of his mother, so he put it back quietly and returned to his palace to cry.

It was also from then on that Luo Cheng began to pull himself together and wanted to grow up quickly.

Because only after he grew up would he have the ability to hire someone to draw a painting for his mother.

This way, he could look after his mother every day and she would not be all alone.

Whenever he missed his mother, he could take the portrait out and look at it.

Unfortunately, as he got older, his memories of his mother became more and more blurry.

Once, he wanted to look for the portrait his mother had left behind.

Unfortunately, there were none.

Therefore, this time, when he wanted to celebrate the empress dowager’s birthday, Luo Cheng immediately thought of that painting, so he recalled it himself and drew it. Then, he carved the craftsman out of wood.

As expected, she liked it!

Unfortunately, when would he see his mother again?

Li Xiaoran naturally empathized with Luo Cheng’s emotions.

Li Xiaoran thought of something and secretly remembered this matter.

The emperor had seen that painting before, so he looked at Luo Cheng differently.

“Luo Cheng, you’re so considerate!”

Luo Cheng calmed down and said, “It’s good as long as you can make Grandma happy!”

Next, more birthday gifts were sent over, but nothing caught the Empress Dowager’s eye.

That wooden carving was already the best gift for the empress dowager’s birthday.

Halfway through the birthday banquet, Li Xiaoran, who had drunk some water, wanted to use the restroom.

Luo Cheng could tell that Li Xiaoran was embarra.s.sed, so he stood up and said goodbye to the empress dowager before bringing Li Xiaoran out.

Li Xiaoran knew nothing about the royal family’s residence and had no idea know where she was.

After Luo Cheng brought Li Xiaoran out, he pointed at a place and said, “This is the restroom. Go in!

Li Xiaoran looked at the guest room. For some reason, the horror movies she had seen in the modern world immediately popped up in her mind. Although she could barely hold it in, Li Xiaoran still did not dare to go in.

“Husband!”

“What’s wrong?” Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows as he said to Li Xiaoran, “Don’t you need to use the restroom?”

Li Xiaoran stared at Luo Cheng pitifully as she said, “Husband, I’m afraid!”

When Luo Cheng saw Li Xiaoran like this, he couldn’t help but laugh.

“I didn’t expect a bold woman like you to feel afraid one day!”

“Then accompany me, okay?” Li Xiaoran reached out and tugged at Luo Cheng’s sleeve.

Upon seeing Li Xiaoran’s pitiful gaze, Luo Cheng smiled. “Alright, alright, I’ll accompany you in!”

With that, the two of them entered the bathroom together.

“I’m be right here with my back to you! Hurry up and go! If you’re afraid, look at my back. Then, you won’t be afraid anymore!”

Li Xiaoran really couldn’t hold it in anymore, so she nodded and quickly went to the bathroom.

As Li Xiaoran peed, Li Xiaoran could sense Luo Cheng’s emotions and

immediately blushed.

After quickly putting on her pants and clothes, Li Xiaoran brought Luo Cheng out.

Perhaps because she was a little bashful, Li Xiaoran did not speak.

Luo Cheng did not say anything and only pulled Li Xiaoran to a corridor. Then, he found a wooden bucket under the corridor and fetched some water from a well to let Li Xiaoran wash her hands.

Li Xiaoran asked curiously as she washed her hands, “Huh, there’s a well and bucket here?”

Luo Cheng said calmly, “There’s no shortage of wells in the royal family!” For some reason, Li Xiaoran thought of something and s.h.i.+vered.

“Husband, has anyone jumped into this well before?”

With that, Li Xiaoran sized up her surroundings.

Luo Cheng couldn’t help but laugh when he saw Li Xiaoran’s frightened expression.

“Don’t worry, no one has jumped into this well before! Because this well is very shallow, even if I jump in, you can still see my head!”
