Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

Seeing that Prince Beirong's attention had been diverted, Xu Jia heaved a sigh of relief and no longer had to be punished.

Although what he said just now were all guesses, they should be pretty close.

If Kangguo and Changning Hou have ill intentions towards Beirong, then Beirong is in danger.

Just because Xu Jia has been staying in Kangguo doesn't mean he knows nothing about the situation in Beirong.

Although the king has been eliminating dissidents, how can we achieve unity if the distribution is uneven?

Many tribes were dissatisfied with the king because they did not get enough resources.

If you want to start a war, taking many tribes south to rob is a good way to integrate all the tribes.

But Kangguo was not a soft persimmon, so how could it allow the Northern Rong to rob it at will?

If you want to snatch food from the tiger's mouth, you must not only have strong soldiers and horses, but also take the enemy by surprise.

If Kangguo was prepared, it would be much more difficult for the Northern Rong to go south to plunder.

After Tuolu, the prince of Beirong, finished writing the letter and sent it away, he asked the Xu family, "Xu Jia, you have been in Kangguo for so many years. Can you find out Kangguo's true attitude towards Beirong? Will they use military force against Beirong?"

Xu Jia thought for a moment and replied, "No one in the court discussed it, and no troops were dispatched. However, there are more merchants this year, transporting furs to the north. Even the caravan under the Changning Marquis's Mansion is the same."

Prince Beirong was shocked. "Could it be that the people of Kangguo calculated that this year will be colder than previous years?"

Xu Jia was startled. "I don't know, but I'm in contact with an official from the Imperial Observatory to find out as soon as possible whether the winter in the north will be colder this year."

Prince Beirong nodded, "Whether it's by spending money or by intimidation, we must find out."

Before the Northern Rong prince Tuolu came to Kangguo, he had only imagined the strength of Kangguo and had not experienced it personally.

After arriving, he was shocked by the prosperity of Kangguo's capital.

Because of Kangguo's wealth, dozens or even more foreign countries transported their goods from thousands of miles away to trade with Kangguo.

That kind of wealth made Prince Beirong drool.

When will they, the Northern Rong, be able to do this?

When thinking of the few cities and the endless grasslands, perhaps Beirong will never have such an opportunity.

Prince Beirong was afraid that Kangguo would use Beirong to make trouble, and he was also worried that the north would be really cold this year. He was uneasy, but he did not dare to act rashly.

At the Changning Marquis' Mansion, Xiulan vomited while having lunch.

Nanny Yuan reported this to Gu Xiling, who was slightly startled and quickly asked someone to call a doctor.

After Dr. Su took Xiulan's pulse, he told her that she was pregnant.

Gu Xiling was surprised, "Xiu Lan, you are so lucky to be pregnant. I believe you must miss Lai Fu very much now. Please write a letter and I will give it to the Marquis and ask him to pass it on for you."

Xiulan was originally worried, but she was relieved to see that the Crown Prince's wife was as kind to her as always, "Thank you, Crown Prince's wife, I am in good health and can still serve you."

Hearing this, Gu Xiling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She reached out and touched Xiulan's pretty face, "You, you always think too much. At this time, do I still need you to serve me? I asked you to follow me before because Lai Fu left, and I was afraid that you would have wild thoughts. Now that you are pregnant, of course you have to take care of your body first."

"Xiu Lan, remember this. From the day Lai Fu's identity was confirmed, you and Lai Fu are no longer servants of the Changning Marquis' Mansion. If Lai Fu can come back alive, he will be the Prince of Beirong, the future King of Beirong, and you will be the Princess. Learn from me in the future, don't bow your head and hunch your chest, but hold your head high and chest out."

Xiulan was stunned. "I...I never dared to think about it."

Gu Xiling smiled and said, "Now you can think about it!"

Xiulan was worried, "Laifu's journey is dangerous. What if he doesn't come back?"

Although she didn't want this to happen, how could everything in the world go according to her wishes?

Gu Xiling chuckled, "Then you are worrying too much! Lai Fu is always smiling in front of you, but you don't know Lai Fu's true strength."

"Because of the environment you grew up in, you don't know the power of the Kangguo court, and you don't know the long-term planning of Changning Hou, so you have such concerns."

"According to my guess, Lai Fu should be able to come back safely, so don't worry and take good care of yourself."

When Xiulan heard what Gu Xiling said, she nodded heavily and said, "Thank you, Madam. I will write the letter right away!"

Gu Xiling nodded, "Go! Eat well, sleep well, and take good care of your body. This is the most important thing for you, and it is also the most important thing for Lai Fu."

Xiulan returned to her own courtyard, began to write letters, and packed the clothes she made for Lai Fu into a package.

She gave these to Gu Xiling and asked the Marquis to give the letter and things to Lai Fu.

When Zhou Jin heard that Xiulan was pregnant, he was quite surprised, "Is it so easy to get pregnant? I remember Lai Fu followed Commander Xu a few days after getting married!"

He has always been the only son in the Changning Marquisate, so Zhou Jin feels that getting pregnant and having a child is very difficult.

In fact, not only Zhou Jin thought so, even Marquis Changning was quite shocked at this time.

He worked hard for half his life, but only had three children, one of whom died and the other was unborn.

So far, Zhou Jin is the only one left.

Seeing the expressions of the father and son, Gu Xiling chuckled, "Maybe Lai Fu and Xiu Lan are both in very good health, plus the timing is right, so it's normal for them to get pregnant!"

"This is good news, father. Tell Lai Fu! Lai Fu will be more motivated when he hears the good news."

Marquis Changning nodded. "This morning, I met Commander Xu. We were together and talked about Lai Fu for a while. He praised Lai Fu highly. Leave this thing here. I will take it with me when I go to the government office tomorrow."

Zhou Jin asked, "Father, how is Lai Fu now?"

Marquis Changning replied: "I knew Lai Fu was very smart and had a strong learning ability! It is still the same now. Commander Xu praised him highly."

"He also said that Lai Fu would set off for Beirong in a few days. Sending Xiulan's news to him at this time would be a great encouragement to Lai Fu."

Zhou Jin breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good! Recently I heard from Butler Zhou that there are often people watching outside our Changning Marquis Mansion. I guess they are sent by Prince Beirong."

Marquis Changning laughed and said, "It doesn't matter, don't worry! The Beirong people don't have the guts to attack our Marquis Changning Mansion yet!"

Zhou Jin pondered for a moment, "Father, does Prince Beirong already know that we know Lai Fu's identity?"

Marquis Changning smiled and said, "They are not stupid. We can infer this from the last time they kidnapped Manager Zhou. But even if they know, it doesn't matter. As long as Lai Fu is not captured and is still alive, it will not affect the overall situation."

Lai Fu, who was learning the Beirong language and customs, received clothes and letters made by Xiulan from Commander Xu.

"Laifu, now that you are a father, you must work harder! Not only must you fight for a living for yourself, you must also fight for a bright future for your wife and children."
