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

Gu Xiling had already thought of this possibility, "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhou Jin was surprised, "I never thought Lai Fu and Xiu Lan would have such good fortune! Father, how is Lai Fu now?"

Marquis Changning replied: "Lai Fu is worthy of being from my Marquis Changning Mansion. He is very knowledgeable and wise. He has already incorporated many tribes and has become much more powerful."

"Especially those tribes that were persecuted by the Northern Rong Khan, and those princesses whose children were killed by the Northern Rong Khan, are all willing to cooperate with the princess. In Northern Rong, a situation of internal and external cooperation has been achieved."

Zhou Jin was surprised, "Didn't anyone tell King Beirong about this?"

Marquis Changning chuckled, "So what if I tell on you? The grassland is covered in snow now. If we want to find these tribes and attack them, our forces will be dispersed. Besides, most of the troops of the King of Beirong have already reached the border of Kangguo."

Zhou Jin looked puzzled, "Father, I don't understand why these Northern Rong kings would attack Kangguo even though they knew that there was internal chaos?"

Marquis Changning replied: "It is precisely because of the numerous internal conflicts that they need to fight to increase their cohesion. In addition, they think that by fighting and attacking Kangguo, they can seize gold, silver, treasures, food and slaves."

"As for the tribes gathered by the Gray Wolf Tribe, they are not in the eyes of King Beirong. After all, the heavy snow can prevent King Beirong from looking for rebellious tribes on the vast grassland. Similarly, it is difficult for these tribes to attack King Beirong."

Gu Xiling smiled sweetly, "In a word, the King of Beirong is too arrogant. After more than a decade of smooth sailing, he looks down on everyone and thinks he is invincible. If we attack Kangguo and win a battle, we can not only make up for the losses in the war, but also increase our prestige, which will naturally make the tribes of Beirong surrender."

Marquis Changning nodded, "Indeed. Jin'er, you continue to edit books in the Department of Agriculture, and do not interfere in the affairs of the court, nor make too many comments."

Zhou Jin agreed, "Yes, father. I've been very busy recently and have no time to pay attention to those things. Although the Agricultural Department is a low-income government office, it is still possible to be busy if you want to. It depends on whether you want to do it or not."

"My wife asks Lai Xi to bring me snacks every day. With these snacks, my colleagues are willing to sort out various materials with me and find some useful things."

"Very good!" Marquis Changning agreed, "You know how to get along well with your colleagues. This is a great improvement. Take one step at a time and do your best no matter what position you are in. Not only will it be beyond reproach, but you will also learn something real. In the future, you will find that nothing is useless."

Zhou Jin used to disagree with his father's words, but after going through so many things, he began to be down-to-earth and listen to other people's advice with an open mind.

"Father, I've got that." Zhou Jin nodded, much calmer.

If he had left before, Marquis Changning would have worried about Zhou Jin. But now that Gu Xiling was here, Marquis Changning could leave without any worries.

Gu Xiling came to visit Xiulan with some supplements.

At this time, Xiulan was making clothes for the children.

Nanny Yuan advised: "There is so much free time during the day, so make clothes during the day instead of at night, or you will damage your eyes."

Xiulan put away her needle and thread and said, "I will listen to my godmother and stop making clothes. The clothes I make now are enough for my child to wear until he is two years old."

"We don't even know whether it's a boy or a girl, but you've already done it." Nanny Yuan smiled and said, "Although I have money in my hand now, I can't waste it."

"Godmother, I understand." Xiulan smiled. At this moment, she saw Gu Xiling coming. "Madam, I greet you."

Gu Xiling quickly helped Xiulan up as she saluted. "The indentures between you and Lai Fu have been cancelled. From now on, you are no longer slaves, but good citizens. The Marquis will go to the northern border tomorrow and may meet Lai Fu. Please write a letter to me tomorrow morning and pass it to the Marquis to bring to you."

Xiulan was delighted when she heard this. "Thank you, Lord Marquis, Madam. How is Lai Fu now? Is he in danger?"

Gu Xiling replied: "Lai Fu has now united with many tribes with the Gray Wolf Tribe, and now its strength has greatly increased. There are dangers, but they are nothing to worry about."

Xiulan breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. I'll write a letter later. Can I bring the clothes and shoes I made for Lai Fu?"

"Of course, you can prepare some." Gu Xiling said with a smile, "But it's cold in Beirong, and the clothes we have here may not be suitable for wearing there, so don't bring too much."

Xiulan nodded, "Yes, I understand."

"Huh? Still a slave? You will be a princess soon. If you keep calling yourself a slave, I won't dare to respond." Gu Xiling smiled and reached out to pinch Xiulan's soft cheek.

"Ah?" Xiulan was stunned. "Princess? How can I be so worthy?"

"Why can't you?" Gu Xiling asked back, "Even the Marquis said that Lai Fu's trip would be successful, and he would be the King of Beirong by then. You are his wife, so of course you can't just leave like that. His Majesty said that when the time comes, he will confer the title of Royal Princess to you and grant you marriage to Lai Fu."

"When the time comes, no matter which noble lady from Beirong comes, she will not be able to surpass you. This is the capital for you and your child to make a living, and it is a sign of Kangguo's support for you."

Xiulan was so shocked by the news that she was speechless.

Nanny Yuan exclaimed, "Xiu Lan, I never thought you had such good fortune! Ever since you came to Changning Marquis's Mansion with the Crown Prince's wife, I knew you were blessed. Not only are you smart, but you're also sweet-talking."

"When those pretty maids were dreaming of climbing into the bed of their male masters, you clearly realized that such days might seem good, but they were extremely dangerous. Later, you and Lai Fu fell in love and got married."

"Xiu Lan, you have taken the right steps along the way. If you become the Princess of Beirong, you will be like a phoenix ascending to heaven."

Hearing Nanny Yuan's praise, Xiulan was not happy at all. Instead, she felt a little more distressed. "Hey, Madam, Nanny Yuan, I don't have any big ambitions. I just want to find a reliable husband and live a peaceful life."

"If Lai Fu becomes the King of Beirong in the future, then I won't be the only woman. After all, with so many tribes, we need to consolidate our interests through marriage. Thinking about this makes my scalp tingle."

Gu Xiling was stunned. She had once shared a husband with another woman, which was indeed disgusting.

In this life, she doesn't want to share a husband with other women.

Therefore, she used her heart and soul to make Zhou Jin happy. If she still couldn't stop him, she would not want this man anymore.

She has this ability, but Xiulan doesn't.

If she encouraged Xiulan to monopolize Lai Fu's affection now, she could be sure that Xiulan would not live long in Beirong, and her child might not grow up.

Upon hearing this, Nanny Yuan advised Xiulan, "Child, this is a different time. It's right for you to want to live together as a couple, but if Lai Fu really becomes the King of Beirong, you are stupid to still think like this. You and your child will suffer."

"If Lai Fu has other women, you can be angry or jealous, but remember that since this man is not yours alone, you have to find a way to get more for you and your children. There is a lot to learn here."

"However, you didn't learn much in Changning Marquis' Mansion. After all, the mansion is quiet and there isn't so much chaos. But it's different outside. Xiulan, you have to be open-minded and don't get stuck in a rut."

Nanny Yuan said what Gu Xiling wanted to say. Only in this way can Xiulan live longer and better in such an environment!
